PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 А пошто се утиша буна, дозва Павле ученике, и утешивши их опрости се с њима, и изиђе да иде у Македонију.
1 After the uproar had ceased, Paul sent for the disciples, took leave of them, and departed to go into Macedonia.
1 Μετὰ δὲ τὸ παύσασθαι τὸν θόρυβον προσκαλεσάμενος ὁ Παῦλος τοὺς μαθητὰς καὶ ἀσπασάμενος ἐξῆλθε πορευθῆναι εἰς Μακεδονίαν.
2 И прошавши оне земље, и световавши их многим речима, дође у Грчку.
2 When he had gone through those parts and had encouraged them with many words, he came into Greece.
2 διελθὼν δὲ τὰ μέρη ἐκεῖνα καὶ παρακαλέσας αὐτοὺς λόγῳ πολλῷ ἦλθεν εἰς τὴν Ἑλλάδα·
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 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.
3 ποιήσας τε μῆνας τρεῖς, γενομένης αὐτῷ ἐπιβουλῆς ὑπὸ τῶν Ἰουδαίων μέλλοντι ἀνάγεσθαι εἰς τὴν Συρίαν, ἐγένετο γνώμη τοῦ ὑποστρέφειν διὰ Μακεδονίας.
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 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.
4 συνείπετο δὲ αὐτῷ ἄχρι τῆς Ἀσίας Σώπατρος Βεροιαῖος, Θεσσαλονικέων δὲ Ἀρίσταρχος καὶ Σεκοῦνδος, καὶ Γάϊος Δερβαῖος καὶ Τιμόθεος, Ἀσιανοὶ δὲ Τυχικὸς καὶ Τρόφιμος.
5 Ови отишавши напред чекаху нас у Троади.
5 But these had gone ahead, and were waiting for us at Troas.
5 οὗτοι προελθόντες ἔμενον ἡμᾶς ἐν Τρῳάδι·
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 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.
6 ἡμεῖς δὲ ἐξεπλεύσαμεν μετὰ τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν ἀζύμων ἀπὸ Φιλίππων καὶ ἤλθομεν πρὸς αὐτοὺς εἰς τὴν Τρῳάδα ἄχρις ἡμερῶν πέντε, οὗ διετρίψαμεν ἡμέρας ἑπτά.
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 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.
7 Ἐν δὲ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων συνηγμένων τῶν μαθητῶν κλάσαι ἄρτον, ὁ Παῦλος διελέγετο αὐτοῖς, μέλλων ἐξιέναι τῇ ἐπαύριον, παρέτεινέ τε τὸν λόγον μέχρι μεσονυκτίου.
8 И беху многе свеће горе у соби где се бејасмо сабрали.
8 There were many lights in the upper room where we were gathered together.
8 ἦσαν δὲ λαμπάδες ἱκαναὶ ἐν τῷ ὑπερῴῳ οὗ ἦμεν συνηγμένοι.
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 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.
9 καθήμενος δέ τις νεανίας ὀνόματι Εὔτυχος ἐπὶ τῆς θυρίδος, καταφερόμενος ὕπνῳ βαθεῖ διαλεγομένου τοῦ Παύλου ἐπὶ πλεῖον, κατενεχθεὶς ἀπὸ τοῦ ὕπνου ἔπεσεν ἀπὸ τοῦ τριστέγου κάτω καὶ ἤρθη νεκρός.
10 А Павле сишавши паде на њ, и загрливши га рече: Не буните се, јер је душа његова у њему.
10 Paul went down and fell upon him, and embracing him said, “Don’t be troubled, for his life is in him.”
10 καταβὰς δὲ ὁ Παῦλος ἐπέπεσεν αὐτῷ καὶ συμπεριλαβὼν εἶπε· μὴ θορυβεῖσθε· ἡ γὰρ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ ἐστιν.
11 Онда изиђе горе, и преломивши хлеб окуси, и довољно говори до саме зоре, и тако отиде.
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.
11 ἀναβὰς δὲ καὶ κλάσας ἄρτον καὶ γευσάμενος, ἐφ᾽ ἱκανόν τε ὁμιλήσας ἄχρις αὐγῆς, οὕτως ἐξῆλθεν.
12 А момче доведоше живо, и утешише се не мало.
12 They brought the boy in alive, and were greatly comforted.
12 ἤγαγον δὲ τὸν παῖδα ζῶντα, καὶ παρεκλήθησαν οὐ μετρίως.
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 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.
13 Ἡμεῖς δὲ προελθόντες ἐπὶ τὸ πλοῖον ἀνήχθημεν εἰς τὴν Ἄσσον, ἐκεῖθεν μέλλοντες ἀναλαμβάνειν τὸν Παῦλον· οὕτω γὰρ ἦν διατεταγμένος, μέλλων αὐτὸς πεζεύειν.
14 А кад се саста с нама у Асу, узесмо га, и дођосмо у Митилину.
14 When he met us at Assos, we took him aboard and came to Mitylene.
14 ὡς δὲ συνέβαλεν ἡμῖν εἰς τὴν Ἄσσον, ἀναλαβόντες αὐτὸν ἤλθομεν εἰς Μιτυλήνην·
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 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.
15 κἀκεῖθεν ἀποπλεύσαντες τῇ ἐπιούσῃ κατηντήσαμεν ἀντικρὺ Χίου, τῇ δὲ ἑτέρᾳ παρεβάλομεν εἰς Σάμον, καὶ μείναντες ἐν Τρωγυλίῳ τῇ ἐχομένῃ ἤλθομεν εἰς Μίλητον.
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 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.
16 ἔκρινε γὰρ ὁ Παῦλος παραπλεῦσαι τὴν Ἔφεσον, ὅπως μὴ γένηται αὐτῷ χρονοτριβῆσαι ἐν τῇ Ἀσίᾳ· ἔσπευδε γάρ, εἰ δυνατὸν ἦν αὐτῷ, τὴν ἡμέραν τῆς Πεντηκοστῆς γενέσθαι εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα.
17 Али из Милита посла у Ефес и дозва старешине црквене.
17 From Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to himself the elders of the assembly.
17 Ἀπὸ δὲ τῆς Μιλήτου πέμψας εἰς Ἔφεσον μετεκαλέσατο τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς ἐκκλησίας.
18 И кад дођоше к њему, рече им: Ви знате од првог дана кад дођох у Азију како с вама једнако бих
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,
18 ὡς δὲ παρεγένοντο πρὸς αὐτόν, εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ὑμεῖς ἐπίστασθε, ἀπὸ πρώτης ἡμέρας ἀφ᾽ ἧς ἐπέβην εἰς τὴν Ἀσίαν, πῶς μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν τὸν πάντα χρόνον ἐγενόμην,
19 служећи Господу са сваком понизности и многим сузама и напастима које ми се догодише од Јевреја који ми рађаху о глави;
19 serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears, and with trials which happened to me by the plots of the Jews;
19 δουλεύων τῷ Κυρίῳ μετὰ πάσης ταπεινοφροσύνης καὶ πολλῶν δακρύων καὶ πειρασμῶν τῶν συμβάντων μοι ἐν ταῖς ἐπιβουλαῖς τῶν Ἰουδαίων,
20 како ништа корисно не изоставих да вам не кажем и да вас научим пред народом и по кућама,
20 how I didn’t shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, teaching you publicly and from house to house,
20 ὡς οὐδὲν ὑπεστειλάμην τῶν συμφερόντων τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν καὶ διδάξαι ὑμᾶς δημοσίᾳ καὶ κατ᾽ οἴκους,
21 сведочећи и Јеврејима и Грцима покајање к Богу и веру у Господа нашег Исуса Христа.
21 testifying both to Jews and to Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus.
21 διαμαρτυρόμενος Ἰουδαίοις τε καὶ Ἕλλησι τὴν εἰς [τὸν] Θεὸν μετάνοιαν καὶ πίστιν τὴν εἰς τὸν Κύριον ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦν [Χριστόν].
22 И сад ево ја свезан Духом идем у Јерусалим не знајући шта ће ми се у њему догодити;
22 Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there;
22 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ δεδεμένος τῷ πνεύματι πορεύομαι εἰς Ἱερουσαλήμ, τὰ ἐν αὐτῇ συναντήσοντά μοι μὴ εἰδώς,
23 осим да Дух Свети по свим градовима сведочи, говорећи да ме окови и невоље чекају.
23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions wait for me.
23 πλὴν ὅτι τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον κατὰ πόλιν διαμαρτύρεται λέγον ὅτι δεσμά με καὶ θλίψεις μένουσιν.
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 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.
24 ἀλλ᾽ οὐδενὸς λόγον ποιοῦμαι οὐδὲ ἔχω τὴν ψυχήν μου τιμίαν ἐμαυτῷ, ὡς τελειῶσαι τὸν δρόμον μου μετὰ χαρᾶς καὶ τὴν διακονίαν ἣν ἔλαβον παρὰ τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, διαμαρτύρασθαι τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τῆς χάριτος τοῦ Θεοῦ.
25 И ево сад знам да више нећете видети моје лице, ви сви по којима пролазих проповедајући царство Божје.
25 “Now, behold, I know that you all, among whom I went about preaching God’s Kingdom, will see my face no more.
25 καὶ νῦν ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ οἶδα ὅτι οὐκέτι ὄψεσθε τὸ πρόσωπόν μου ὑμεῖς πάντες, ἐν οἷς διῆλθον κηρύσσων τὴν βασιλείαν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
26 Зато вам сведочим у данашњи дан да сам ја чист од крви свију;
26 Therefore I testify to you today that I am clean from the blood of all men,
26 διὸ μαρτύρομαι ὑμῖν ἐν τῇ σήμερον ἡμέρᾳ ὅτι καθαρὸς ἐγὼ ἀπὸ τοῦ αἵματος πάντων·
27 јер не изоставих да покажем вољу Божју.
27 for I didn’t shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God.
27 οὐ γὰρ ὑπεστειλάμην τοῦ μὴ ἀναγγεῖλαι ὑμῖν πᾶσαν τὴν βουλὴν τοῦ Θεοῦ.
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 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.
28 προσέχετε οὖν ἑαυτοῖς καὶ παντὶ τῷ ποιμνίῳ ἐν ᾧ ὑμᾶς τὸ Πνεῦμα τὸ Ἅγιον ἔθετο ἐπισκόπους, ποιμαίνειν τὴν ἐκκλησίαν τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ Θεοῦ, ἣν περιεποιήσατο διὰ τοῦ ἰδίου αἵματος.
29 јер ја ово знам да ће по одласку мом ући међу вас тешки вуци који неће штедети стада;
29 For I know that after my departure, vicious wolves will enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
29 ἐγὼ γὰρ οἶδα τοῦτο, ὅτι εἰσελεύσονται μετὰ τὴν ἄφιξίν μου λύκοι βαρεῖς εἰς ὑμᾶς μὴ φειδόμενοι τοῦ ποιμνίου·
30 и између вас самих постаће људи који ће говорити изврнуту науку да одвраћају ученике за собом.
30 Men will arise from among your own selves, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.
30 καὶ ἐξ ὑμῶν αὐτῶν ἀναστήσονται ἄνδρες λαλοῦντες διεστραμμένα τοῦ ἀποσπᾶν τοὺς μαθητὰς ὀπίσω αὐτῶν.
31 Зато гледајте и опомињите се да три године дан и ноћ не престајах учећи са сузама сваког од вас.
31 Therefore watch, remembering that for a period of three years I didn’t cease to admonish everyone night and day with tears.
31 διὸ γρηγορεῖτε, μνημονεύοντες ὅτι τριετίαν νύκτα καὶ ἡμέραν οὐκ ἐπαυσάμην μετὰ δακρύων νουθετῶν ἕνα ἕκαστον.
32 И сад вас, браћо, предајем Богу и речи благодати Његове, који може назидати и дати вам наследство међу свима освећенима.
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.
32 καὶ τὰ νῦν παρατίθεμαι ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, τῷ Θεῷ καὶ τῷ λόγῳ τῆς χάριτος αὐτοῦ τῷ δυναμένῳ ἐποικοδομῆσαι καὶ δοῦναι ὑμῖν κληρονομίαν ἐν τοῖς ἡγιασμένοις πᾶσιν.
33 Сребра, или злата, или руха ни у једног не заисках.
33 I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.
33 ἀργυρίου ἢ χρυσίου ἢ ἱματισμοῦ οὐδενὸς ἐπεθύμησα·
34 Сами знате да потреби мојој и оних који су са мном били послужише ове руке моје.
34 You yourselves know that these hands served my necessities, and those who were with me.
34 αὐτοὶ γινώσκετε ὅτι ταῖς χρείαις μου καὶ τοῖς οὖσι μετ᾽ ἐμοῦ ὑπηρέτησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὗται.
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 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.’ ”
35 πάντα ὑπέδειξα ὑμῖν ὅτι οὕτω κοπιῶντας δεῖ ἀντιλαμβάνεσθαι τῶν ἀσθενούντων, μνημονεύειν τε τὸν λόγον τοῦ Κυρίου Ἰησοῦ, ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπε· μακάριόν ἐστι μᾶλλον διδόναι ἢ λαμβάνειν.
36 И ово рекавши клече на колена своја са свима њима и помоли се Богу.
36 When he had spoken these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all.
36 καὶ ταῦτα εἰπών, θεὶς τὰ γόνατα αὐτοῦ σὺν πᾶσιν αὐτοῖς προσηύξατο.
37 А свију стаде велики плач и загрливши Павла целиваху га,
37 They all wept freely, and fell on Paul’s neck and kissed him,
37 ἱκανὸς δὲ ἐγένετο κλαυθμὸς πάντων, καὶ ἐπιπεσόντες ἐπὶ τὸν τράχηλον τοῦ Παύλου κατεφίλουν αὐτόν,
38 жалосни највише за реч коју рече да више неће видети лице његово; и отпратише га у лађу.
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.
38 ὀδυνώμενοι μάλιστα ἐπὶ τῷ λόγῳ ᾧ εἰρήκει, ὅτι οὐκέτι μέλλουσι τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ θεωρεῖν. προέπεμπον δὲ αὐτὸν εἰς τὸ πλοῖον.

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.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 11 (1889)
