WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 А пошто се утиша буна, дозва Павле ученике, и утешивши их опрости се с њима, и изиђе да иде у Македонију.
1 Y DESPUÉS que cesó el alboroto, llamando Pablo á los discípulos habiéndoles exhortado y abrazado, se despidió, y partió para ir á Macedonia.
1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
2 И прошавши оне земље, и световавши их многим речима, дође у Грчку.
2 Y andado que hubo aquellas partes, y exhortádoles con abundancia de palabra, vino á Grecia.
2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
3 Поживевши пак онамо три месеца стадоше му Јевреји радити о глави кад хтеде да се одвезе у Сирију, и намисли да се врати преко Македоније.
3 Y después de haber estado allí tres meses, y habiendo de navegar á Siria, le fueron puestas asechanzas por los Judíos; y así tomó consejo de volverse por Macedonia.
3 When he had spent three months there, and a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he determined to return through Macedonia.
4 И пође с њим до Азије Сосипатар Пиров из Верије, и Аристарх и Секунд из Солуна, и Гај из Дерве и Тимотије, и Тихик и Трофим из Азије.
4 Y le acompañaron hasta Asia Sopater Bereense, y [los] Tesalonicenses, Aristarco y Segundo; y Gayo de Derbe, y Timoteo; y de Asia, Tychîco y Trófimo.
4 These accompanied him as far as Asia: Sopater of Beroea, Aristarchus and Secundus of the Thessalonians, Gaius of Derbe, Timothy, and Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia.
5 Ови отишавши напред чекаху нас у Троади.
5 Estos yendo delante, nos esperaron en Troas.
5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
6 А ми се одвезосмо после дана пресних хлебова из Филибе, и дођосмо к њима у Троаду за пет дана, и онде остасмо седам дана.
6 Y nosotros, pasados los días de los panes sin levadura, navegamos de Filipos y vinimos á ellos á Troas en cinco días, donde estuvimos siete días.
6 We sailed away from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas in five days, where we stayed seven days.
7 А у први дан недеље, кад се сабраше ученици да ломе хлеб, говораше им Павле, јер хтеде сутрадан да пође, и протеже беседу до поноћи.
7 Y el día primero de la semana, juntos los discípulos á partir el pan, Pablo les enseñaba, habiendo de partir al día siguiente: y alargó el discurso hasta la media noche.
7 On the first day of the week, when the disciples were gathered together to break bread, Paul talked with them, intending to depart on the next day; and continued his speech until midnight.
8 И беху многе свеће горе у соби где се бејасмо сабрали.
8 Y había muchas lámparas en el aposento alto donde estaban juntos.
8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
9 А сеђаше на прозору једно момче, по имену Евтих, надвладано од тврдог сна, и кад Павле говораше много, наже се у сну и паде доле с трећег пода, и дигоше га мртва.
9 Y un mancebo llamado Eutichô que estaba sentado en la ventana, tomado de un sueño profundo, como Pablo disputaba largamente, postrado del sueño cayó del tercer piso abajo, y fué alzado muerto.
9 A certain young man named Eutychus sat in the window, weighed down with deep sleep. As Paul spoke still longer, being weighed down by his sleep, he fell down from the third floor and was taken up dead.
10 А Павле сишавши паде на њ, и загрливши га рече: Не буните се, јер је душа његова у њему.
10 Entonces descendió Pablo, y derribóse sobre él, y abrazándole, dijo: No os alborotéis, que su alma está en él.
10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”
11 Онда изиђе горе, и преломивши хлеб окуси, и довољно говори до саме зоре, и тако отиде.
11 Después subiendo, y partiendo el pan, y gustando, habló largamente hasta el alba, y así partió.
11 When he had gone up, had broken bread and eaten, and had talked with them a long while, even until break of day, he departed.
12 А момче доведоше живо, и утешише се не мало.
12 Y llevaron al mozo vivo, y fueron consolados no poco.
12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
13 А ми дошавши у лађу одвезосмо се у Ас, и оданде хтесмо да узмемо Павла; јер тако беше заповедио, хотећи сам да иде пешице.
13 Y nosotros subiendo en el navío, navegamos á Assón, para recibir de allí á Pablo; pues así había determinado que debía él ir por tierra.
13 But we, going ahead to the ship, set sail for Assos, intending to take Paul aboard there; for he had so arranged, intending himself to go by land.
14 А кад се саста с нама у Асу, узесмо га, и дођосмо у Митилину.
14 Y como se juntó con nosotros en Assón, tomándole vinimos á Mitilene.
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
15 И оданде одвезавши се дођосмо сутрадан према Хију; а други дан одвезосмо се у сам, и ноћисмо у Тригилију; и сутрадан дођосмо у Милит.
15 Y navegando de allí, al día siguiente llegamos delante de Chîo, y al otro día tomamos puerto en Samo: y habiendo reposado en Trogilio, al día siguiente llegamos á Mileto.
15 Sailing from there, we came the following day opposite Chios. The next day we touched at Samos and stayed at Trogyllium, and the day after we came to Miletus.
16 Јер Павле намисли да прођемо мимо Ефес да се не би задржао у Азији; јер хићаше, ако буде могуће, да буде о Тројичину дне у Јерусалиму.
16 Porque Pablo se había propuesto pasar adelante de Efeso; por no detenerse en Asia: porque se apresuraba por hacer el día de Pentecostés, si le fuese posible, en Jerusalem.
16 For Paul had determined to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening, if it were possible for him, to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost.
17 Али из Милита посла у Ефес и дозва старешине црквене.
17 Y enviando desde Mileto á Efeso, hizo llamar á los ancianos de la iglesia.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
18 И кад дођоше к њему, рече им: Ви знате од првог дана кад дођох у Азију како с вама једнако бих
18 Y cuando vinieron á él, les dijo: Vosotros sabéis cómo, desde el primer día que entré en Asia, he estado con vosotros por todo el tiempo,
18 When they had come to him, he said to them, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time,
19 служећи Господу са сваком понизности и многим сузама и напастима које ми се догодише од Јевреја који ми рађаху о глави;
19 Sirviendo al Señor con toda humildad, y con muchas lágrimas, y tentaciones que me han venido por las asechanzas de los Judíos:
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
20 како ништа корисно не изоставих да вам не кажем и да вас научим пред народом и по кућама,
20 Cómo nada que fuese útil he rehuído de anunciaros y enseñaros, públicamente y por las casas,
20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
21 сведочећи и Јеврејима и Грцима покајање к Богу и веру у Господа нашег Исуса Христа.
21 Testificando á los Judíos y á los Gentiles arrepentimiento para con Dios, y la fe en nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
22 И сад ево ја свезан Духом идем у Јерусалим не знајући шта ће ми се у њему догодити;
22 Y ahora, he aquí, ligado yo en espíritu, voy á Jerusalem, sin saber lo que allá me ha de acontecer:
22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
23 осим да Дух Свети по свим градовима сведочи, говорећи да ме окови и невоље чекају.
23 Mas que el Espíritu Santo por todas las ciudades me da testimonio, diciendo que prisiones y tribulaciones me esperan.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
24 Али се низашта не бринем, нити марим за свој живот, него да свршим течење своје с радошћу и службу коју примих од Господа Исуса: да посведочим јеванђеље благодати Божје.
24 Mas de ninguna cosa hago caso, ni estimo mi vida preciosa para mí mismo; solamente que acabe mi carrera con gozo, y el ministerio que recibí del Señor Jesús, para dar testimonio del evangelio de la gracia de Dios.
24 But these things don’t count; nor do I hold my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to fully testify to the Good News of the grace of God.
25 И ево сад знам да више нећете видети моје лице, ви сви по којима пролазих проповедајући царство Божје.
25 Y ahora, he aquí, yo sé que ninguno de todos vosotros, por quien he pasado predicando el reino de Dios, verá más mi rostro.
25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
26 Зато вам сведочим у данашњи дан да сам ја чист од крви свију;
26 Por tanto, yo os protesto el día de hoy, que yo soy limpio de la sangre de todos:
26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
27 јер не изоставих да покажем вољу Божју.
27 Porque no he rehuído de anunciaros todo el consejo de Dios.
27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
28 Пазите дакле на себе и на све стадо у коме вас Дух Свети постави владикама да пасете цркву Господа и Бога коју стече крвљу својом;
28 Por tanto mirad por vosotros, y por todo el rebaño en que el Espíritu Santo os ha puesto por obispos, para apacentar la iglesia del Señor, la cual ganó por su sangre.
28 Take heed, therefore, to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the assembly of the Lord and God which he purchased with his own blood.
29 јер ја ово знам да ће по одласку мом ући међу вас тешки вуци који неће штедети стада;
29 Porque yo sé que después de mi partida entrarán en [medio de] vosotros lobos rapaces, que no perdonarán al ganado;
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 и између вас самих постаће људи који ће говорити изврнуту науку да одвраћају ученике за собом.
30 Y de vosotros mismos se levantarán hombres que hablen cosas perversas, para llevar discípulos tras sí.
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
31 Зато гледајте и опомињите се да три године дан и ноћ не престајах учећи са сузама сваког од вас.
31 Por tanto, velad, acordándoos que por tres años de noche y de día, no he cesado de amonestar con lágrimas á cada uno.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
32 И сад вас, браћо, предајем Богу и речи благодати Његове, који може назидати и дати вам наследство међу свима освећенима.
32 Y ahora, hermanos, os encomiendo á Dios, y á la palabra de su gracia: el cual es poderoso para sobreedificar, y daros heredad con todos los santificados.
32 Now, brothers, I entrust you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.
33 Сребра, или злата, или руха ни у једног не заисках.
33 La plata, ó el oro, ó el vestido de nadie he codiciado.
33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
34 Сами знате да потреби мојој и оних који су са мном били послужише ове руке моје.
34 Antes vosotros sabéis que para lo que me ha sido necesario, y á los que están conmigo, estas manos me han servido.
34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
35 Све вам показах да се тако ваља трудити и помагати немоћнима, и опомињати се речи Господа Исуса коју Он рече: Много је блаженије давати неголи узимати.
35 En todo os he enseñado que, trabajando así, es necesario sobrellevar á los enfermos, y tener presente las palabras del Señor Jesús, el cual dijo: Más bienaventurada cosa es dar que recibir.
35 In all things I gave you an example, that so laboring you ought to help the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ ”
36 И ово рекавши клече на колена своја са свима њима и помоли се Богу.
36 Y como hubo dicho estas cosas, se puso de rodillas, y oró con todos ellos.
36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
37 А свију стаде велики плач и загрливши Павла целиваху га,
37 Entonces hubo un gran lloro de todos: y echándose en el cuello de Pablo, le besaban,
37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
38 жалосни највише за реч коју рече да више неће видети лице његово; и отпратише га у лађу.
38 Doliéndose en gran manera por la palabra que dijo, que no habían de ver más su rostro. Y le acompañaron al navío.
38 sorrowing most of all because of the word which he had spoken, that they should see his face no more. Then they accompanied him to the ship.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

    There was need of much comforting after that uproar. Accordingly, having done this, he goes into Macedonia, and then into Greece. For, it says, "when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, and there abode three months.

    Moreover, ye were all distinguished by humility, and were in no respect puffed up with pride, but yielded obedience rather than extorted it, and were more willing to give than to receive.
