PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Dođe pak u Dervu i u Listru, i gle, onde beše neki učenik, po imenu Timotije, sin neke žene Jevrejke koja verovaše, a oca Grka;
1 He came to Derbe and Lystra; and behold, a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewess who believed, but his father was a Greek.
1 Κατήντησε δὲ εἰς Δέρβην καὶ Λύστραν. καὶ ἰδοὺ μαθητής τις ἦν ἐκεῖ ὀνόματι Τιμόθεος, υἱὸς γυναικός [τινος] Ἰουδαίας πιστῆς, πατρὸς δὲ Ἕλληνος,
2 za njega dobro svedočahu braća koja behu u Listri i u Ikoniji.
2 The brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.
2 ὃς ἐμαρτυρεῖτο ὑπὸ τῶν ἐν Λύστροις καὶ Ἰκονίῳ ἀδελφῶν.
3 Ovog namisli Pavle da uzme sa sobom; i uze ga, i obreza Jevreja radi koji behu u onim mestima: jer svi znahu oca njegovog da beše Grk.
3 Paul wanted to have him go out with him, and he took and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those parts, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
3 τοῦτον ἠθέλησεν ὁ Παῦλος σὺν αὐτῷ ἐξελθεῖν, καὶ λαβὼν περιέτεμεν αὐτὸν διὰ τοὺς Ἰουδαίους τοὺς ὄντας ἐν τοῖς τόποις ἐκείνοις· ᾔδεισαν γὰρ ἅπαντες τὸν πατέρα αὐτοῦ ὅτι Ἕλλην ὑπῆρχεν.
4 I kad prolažahu po gradovima, predavaše im da drže uredbe koje urediše apostoli i starešine u Jerusalimu.
4 As they went on their way through the cities, they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem.
4 Ὡς δὲ διεπορεύοντο τὰς πόλεις, παρεδίδουν αὐτοῖς φυλάσσειν τὰ δόγματα τὰ κεκριμένα ὑπὸ τῶν ἀποστόλων καὶ τῶν πρεσβυτέρων τῶν ἐν Ἱερουσαλήμ.
5 A crkve se utvrđivahu u veri, i svaki dan bivaše ih više.
5 So the assemblies were strengthened in the faith, and increased in number daily.
5 Αἱ μὲν οὖν ἐκκλησίαι ἐστερεοῦντο τῇ πίστει καὶ ἐπερίσσευον τῷ ἀριθμῷ καθ᾽ ἡμέραν.
6 A kad prođoše Frigiju i galatijsku zemlju, zabrani im Duh Sveti govoriti reč u Aziji.
6 When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.
6 Διελθόντες δὲ τὴν Φρυγίαν καὶ τὴν Γαλατικὴν χώραν, κωλυθέντες ὑπὸ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος λαλῆσαι τὸν λόγον ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ,
7 A kad dođoše u Misiju hteše da idu u Vitiniju, i Duh ne dade.
7 When they had come opposite Mysia, they tried to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit didn’t allow them.
7 ἐλθόντες κατὰ τὴν Μυσίαν ἐπείραζον κατὰ τὴν Βιθυνίαν πορεύεσθαι· καὶ οὐκ εἴασεν αὐτοὺς τὸ Πνεῦμα.
8 A kad prođoše Misiju, siđoše u Troadu.
8 Passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.
8 παρελθόντες δὲ τὴν Μυσίαν κατέβησαν εἰς Τρῳάδα.
9 I Pavlu se javi utvara noću: beše jedan čovek iz Makedonije, i stajaše moleći ga i govoreći: Dođi u Makedoniju i pomozi nam.
9 A vision appeared to Paul in the night. There was a man of Macedonia standing, begging him and saying, “Come over into Macedonia and help us.”
9 καὶ ὅραμα διὰ τῆς νυκτὸς ὤφθη τῷ Παύλῳ· ἀνήρ τις ἦν Μακεδὼν ἑστώς, παρακαλῶν αὐτὸν καὶ λέγων· διαβὰς εἰς Μακεδονίαν βοήθησον ἡμῖν.
10 A kad vide utvaru, odmah gledasmo da iziđemo u Makedoniju, doznavši da nas Gospod pozva da im propovedamo jevanđelje.
10 When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go out to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the Good News to them.
10 ὡς δὲ τὸ ὅραμα εἶδεν, εὐθέως ἐζητήσαμεν ἐξελθεῖν εἰς τὴν Μακεδονίαν, συμβιβάζοντες ὅτι προσκέκληται ἡμᾶς ὁ Κύριος εὐαγγελίσασθαι αὐτούς.
11 A kad se odvezosmo iz Troade, dođosmo u Samotrak, i sutradan u Neapolj,
11 Setting sail therefore from Troas, we made a straight course to Samothrace, and the day following to Neapolis;
11 Ἀναχθέντες οὖν ἀπὸ τῆς Τρῳάδος εὐθυδρομήσαμεν εἰς Σαμοθρᾴκην, τῇ δὲ ἐπιούσῃ εἰς Νεάπολιν,
12 a odande u Filibu, koje je prvi grad zemlje Makedonije, naselje rimsko; i u onom gradu ostasmo nekoliko dana.
12 and from there to Philippi, which is a city of Macedonia, the foremost of the district, a Roman colony. We were staying some days in this city.
12 ἐκεῖθέν τε εἰς Φιλίππους, ἥτις ἐστὶ πρώτη τῆς μερίδος τῆς Μακεδονίας πόλις κολωνία. Ἦμεν δὲ ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ πόλει διατρίβοντες ἡμέρας τινάς,
13 A u dan subotni iziđosmo iz grada k vodi gde beše bogomolja; i sedavši govorismo k ženama koje se behu sabrale.
13 On the Sabbath day we went outside of the city by a riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together.
13 τῇ τε ἡμέρᾳ τῶν σαββάτων ἐξήλθομεν ἔξω τῆς πόλεως παρὰ ποταμὸν οὗ ἐνομίζετο προσευχὴ εἶναι, καὶ καθίσαντες ἐλαλοῦμεν ταῖς συνελθούσαις γυναιξί.
14 I jedna bogobojazna žena, po imenu Lidija, iz grada tijatirskog, koja prodavaše skerlet, slušaše: i Gospod otvori srce njeno da pazi na reči Pavlove.
14 A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, one who worshiped God, heard us. The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul.
14 καί τις γυνὴ ὀνόματι Λυδία, πορφυρόπωλις πόλεως Θυατείρων, σεβομένη τὸν Θεόν, ἤκουεν, ἧς ὁ Κύριος διήνοιξε τὴν καρδίαν προσέχειν τοῖς λαλουμένοις ὑπὸ τοῦ Παύλου.
15 A kad se krsti ona i kuća njena, moljaše nas govoreći: Ako mislite da ja verujem Gospoda, uđite u moju kuću i živite. I natera nas.
15 When she and her household were baptized, she begged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay.” So she persuaded us.
15 ὡς δὲ ἐβαπτίσθη καὶ ὁ οἶκος αὐτῆς, παρεκάλεσε λέγουσα· εἰ κεκρίκατέ με πιστὴν τῷ Κυρίῳ εἶναι, εἰσελθόντες εἰς τὸν οἶκόν μου μείνατε· καὶ παρεβιάσατο ἡμᾶς.
16 A dogodi se kad iđasmo na molitvu da nas srete jedna robinja koja imaše duh pogađački i vračajući donošaše veliki dobitak svojim gospodarima.
16 As we were going to prayer, a certain girl having a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by fortune telling.
16 Ἐγένετο δὲ πορευομένων ἡμῶν εἰς προσευχὴν παιδίσκην τινὰ ἔχουσαν πνεῦμα πύθωνος ἀπαντῆσαι ἡμῖν, ἥτις ἐργασίαν πολλὴν παρεῖχε τοῖς κυρίοις αὐτῆς μαντευομένη.
17 Ova pođe za Pavlom i za nama, i vikaše govoreći: Ovi su ljudi sluge Boga Najvišeg, koji javljaju nama put spasenja.
17 Following Paul and us, she cried out, “These men are servants of the Most High God, who proclaim to us a way of salvation!”
17 αὕτη κατακολουθήσασα τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Σίλᾳ ἔκραζε λέγουσα· οὗτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι δοῦλοι τοῦ Θεοῦ τοῦ ὑψίστου εἰσίν, οἵτινες καταγγέλλουσιν ἡμῖν ὁδὸν σωτηρίας.
18 I ovako činjaše mnogo dana. A kad se Pavlu dosadi, okrenu se i reče duhu: Zapovedam ti imenom Isusa Hrista, iziđi iz nje. I iziđe u taj čas.
18 She was doing this for many days. But Paul, becoming greatly annoyed, turned and said to the spirit, “I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!” It came out that very hour.
18 τοῦτο δὲ ἐποίει ἐπὶ πολλὰς ἡμέρας. διαπονηθεὶς δὲ ὁ Παῦλος καὶ ἐπιστρέψας τῷ πνεύματι εἶπε· παραγγέλλω σοι ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐξελθεῖν ἀπ᾽ αὐτῆς. καὶ ἐξῆλθεν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ.
19 A kad videše njeni gospodari da iziđe nada njihovog dobitka, uzeše Pavla i Silu i odvukoše ih na pazar ka knezovima.
19 But when her masters saw that the hope of their gain was gone, they seized Paul and Silas and dragged them into the marketplace before the rulers.
19 Ἰδόντες δὲ οἱ κύριοι αὐτῆς ὅτι ἐξῆλθεν ἡ ἐλπὶς τῆς ἐργασίας αὐτῶν, ἐπιλαβόμενοι τὸν Παῦλον καὶ τὸν Σίλαν εἵλκυσαν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐπὶ τοὺς ἄρχοντας,
20 I dovedavši ih k vojvodama, rekoše: Ovi su ljudi Jevreji, i mute po našem gradu,
20 When they had brought them to the magistrates, they said, “These men, being Jews, are agitating our city
20 καὶ προσαγαγόντες αὐτοὺς τοῖς στρατηγοῖς εἶπον· οὗτοι οἱ ἄνθρωποι ἐκταράσσουσιν ἡμῶν τὴν πόλιν Ἰουδαῖοι ὑπάρχοντες,
21 i propovedaju običaje koje nama ne valja primati ni tvoriti, jer smo Rimljani.
21 and advocate customs which it is not lawful for us to accept or to observe, being Romans.”
21 καὶ καταγγέλλουσιν ἔθη ἃ οὐκ ἔξεστιν ἡμῖν παραδέχεσθαι οὐδὲ ποιεῖν Ῥωμαίοις οὖσι.
22 I sleže se narod na njih, i vojvode izdreše im haljine, i zapovediše da ih šibaju.
22 The multitude rose up together against them and the magistrates tore their clothes from them, then commanded them to be beaten with rods.
22 καὶ συνεπέστη ὁ ὄχλος κατ᾽ αὐτῶν. καὶ οἱ στρατηγοὶ περιρρήξαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐκέλευον ῥαβδίζειν,
23 I pošto ih zdravo izbiše baciše ih u tamnicu, i zapovediše tamničaru da ih dobro čuva.
23 When they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison, charging the jailer to keep them safely.
23 πολλάς τε ἐπιθέντες αὐτοῖς πληγὰς ἔβαλον εἰς φυλακήν, παραγγείλαντες τῷ δεσμοφύλακι ἀσφαλῶς τηρεῖν αὐτούς·
24 Primivši takvu zapovest on ih baci u najdonju tamnicu i noge im metnu u klade.
24 Having received such a command, he threw them into the inner prison and secured their feet in the stocks.
24 ὃς παραγγελίαν τοιαύτην εἰληφὼς ἔβαλεν αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν ἐσωτέραν φυλακὴν καὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτῶν ἠσφαλίσατο εἰς τὸ ξύλον.
25 A u ponoći behu Pavle i Sila na molitvi i hvaljahu Boga; a sužnji ih slušahu.
25 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them.
25 Κατὰ δὲ τὸ μεσονύκτιον Παῦλος καὶ Σίλας προσευχόμενοι ὕμνουν τὸν Θεόν· ἐπηκροῶντο δὲ αὐτῶν οἱ δέσμιοι.
26 A ujedanput tako se vrlo zatrese zemlja da se pomesti temelj tamnički; i odmah se otvoriše sva vrata i svima spadoše okovi.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.
26 ἄφνω δὲ σεισμὸς ἐγένετο μέγας, ὥστε σαλευθῆναι τὰ θεμέλια τοῦ δεσμωτηρίου, ἀνεῴχθησάν τε παραχρῆμα αἱ θύραι πᾶσαι καὶ πάντων τὰ δεσμὰ ἀνέθη.
27 A kad se probudi tamničar i vide otvorena vrata tamnička, izvadi nož i htede da se ubije, misleći da su pobegli sužnji.
27 The jailer, being roused out of sleep and seeing the prison doors open, drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped.
27 ἔξυπνος δὲ γενόμενος ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ καὶ ἰδὼν ἀνεῳγμένας τὰς θύρας τῆς φυλακῆς, σπασάμενος μάχαιραν ἔμελλεν ἑαυτὸν ἀναιρεῖν, νομίζων ἐκπεφευγέναι τοὺς δεσμίους.
28 A Pavle povika zdravo govoreći: Ne čini sebi zlo nikakvo, jer smo mi svi ovde.
28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, “Don’t harm yourself, for we are all here!”
28 ἐφώνησε δὲ φωνῇ μεγάλῃ ὁ Παῦλος λέγων· μηδὲν πράξῃς σεαυτῷ κακόν· ἅπαντες γάρ ἐσμεν ἐνθάδε.
29 A on zaiskavši sveću ulete i drhćući pripade k Pavlu i Sili;
29 He called for lights, sprang in, fell down trembling before Paul and Silas,
29 αἰτήσας δὲ φῶτα εἰσεπήδησε, καὶ ἔντρομος γενόμενος προσέπεσε τῷ Παύλῳ καὶ τῷ Σίλᾳ,
30 i izvedavši ih napolje reče: Gospodo! Šta mi treba činiti da se spasem?
30 brought them out, and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
30 καὶ προαγαγὼν αὐτοὺς ἔξω ἔφη· κύριοι, τί με δεῖ ποιεῖν ἵνα σωθῶ;
31 A oni rekoše: Veruj Gospoda Isusa Hrista i spašćeš se ti i sav dom tvoj.
31 They said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.”
31 οἱ δὲ εἶπον· πίστευσον ἐπὶ τὸν Κύριον Ἰησοῦν Χριστόν, καὶ σωθήσῃ σὺ καὶ ὁ οἶκός σου.
32 I kazaše mu reč Gospodnju, i svima koji su u domu njegovom.
32 They spoke the word of the Lord to him, and to all who were in his house.
32 καὶ ἐλάλησαν αὐτῷ τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
33 I uze ih u onaj sat noći i opra im rane; i krsti se on i svi njegovi odmah.
33 He took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes, and was immediately baptized, he and all his household.
33 καὶ παραλαβὼν αὐτοὺς ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὥρᾳ τῆς νυκτὸς ἔλουσεν ἀπὸ τῶν πληγῶν, καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη αὐτὸς καὶ οἱ αὐτοῦ πάντες παραχρῆμα,
34 I uvedavši ih u svoj dom postavi trpezu, i radovaše se sa svim domom svojim što verova Boga.
34 He brought them up into his house and set food before them, and rejoiced greatly with all his household, having believed in God.
34 ἀναγαγών τε αὐτοὺς εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ παρέθηκε τράπεζαν, καὶ ἠγαλλιᾶτο πανοικὶ πεπιστευκὼς τῷ Θεῷ.
35 A kad bi dan, poslaše vojvode pandure govoreći: Pustite ova dva čoveka.
35 But when it was day, the magistrates sent the sergeants, saying, “Let those men go.”
35 Ἡμέρας δὲ γενομένης ἀπέστειλαν οἱ στρατηγοὶ τοὺς ῥαβδούχους λέγοντες· ἀπόλυσον τοὺς ἀνθρώπους ἐκείνους.
36 A tamničar kaza reči ove Pavlu: Poslaše vojvode da se pustite; sad dakle iziđite i idite s mirom.
36 The jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, “The magistrates have sent to let you go; now therefore come out and go in peace.”
36 ἀπήγγειλε δὲ ὁ δεσμοφύλαξ τοὺς λόγους τούτους πρὸς τὸν Παῦλον, ὅτι ἀπεστάλκασιν οἱ στρατηγοὶ ἵνα ἀπολυθῆτε. νῦν οὖν ἐξελθόντες πορεύεσθε ἐν εἰρήνῃ.
37 A Pavle reče njima: Izbivši nas pred narodom bez suda, ljude Rimljane, baciše u tamnicu: i sad hoće da nas puste? Nije tako, nego sami neka dođu i izvedu nas.
37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us publicly without a trial, men who are Romans, and have cast us into prison! Do they now release us secretly? No, most certainly, but let them come themselves and bring us out!”
37 ὁ δὲ Παῦλος ἔφη πρὸς αὐτούς· δείραντες ἡμᾶς δημοσίᾳ ἀκατακρίτους, ἀνθρώπους Ῥωμαίους ὑπάρχοντας, ἔβαλον εἰς φυλακήν· καὶ νῦν λάθρᾳ ἡμᾶς ἐκβάλλουσιν; οὐ γάρ, ἀλλὰ ἐλθόντες αὐτοὶ ἡμᾶς ἐξαγαγέτωσαν.
38 A panduri kazaše vojvodama ove reči; i uplašiše se kad čuše da su Rimljani;
38 The sergeants reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,
38 ἀνήγγειλαν δὲ τοῖς στρατηγοῖς οἱ ῥαβδοῦχοι τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα· καὶ ἐφοβήθησαν ἀκούσαντες ὅτι Ῥωμαῖοί εἰσι,
39 i došavši umoliše ih, i izvedoše moleći da iziđu iz grada.
39 and they came and begged them. When they had brought them out, they asked them to depart from the city.
39 καὶ ἐλθόντες παρεκάλεσαν αὐτούς, καὶ ἐξαγαγόντες ἠρώτων ἐξελθεῖν τῆς πόλεως.
40 A kad iziđoše iz tamnice, dođoše k Lidiji, i videvši braću utešiše ih, i otidoše.
40 They went out of the prison and entered into Lydia’s house. When they had seen the brothers, they encouraged them, then departed.
40 ἐξελθόντες δὲ ἐκ τῆς φυλακῆς εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὴν Λυδίαν, καὶ ἰδόντες τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς παρεκάλεσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐξῆλθον.
