WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 И кад би те се одвезосмо отргнувши се од њих, идући право дођосмо у Ко, и други дан у Род и оданде у Патару.
1 Y HABIENDO partido de ellos, navegamos y vinimos camino derecho á Coos, y al día siguiente á Rhodas, y de allí á Pátara.
1 When we had departed from them and had set sail, we came with a straight course to Cos, and the next day to Rhodes, and from there to Patara.
2 И нашавши лађу која полази у Финикију, уђосмо и одвезосмо се.
2 Y hallando un barco que pasaba á Fenicia, nos embarcamos, y partimos.
2 Having found a ship crossing over to Phoenicia, we went aboard and set sail.
3 А кад нам се указа Кипар, остависмо га налево, и пловљасмо у Сирију, и стадосмо у Тиру; јер онде ваљаше да се истовари лађа.
3 Y como avistamos á Cipro, dejándola á mano izquierda, navegamos á Siria, y vinimos á Tiro: porque el barco había de descargar allí su carga.
3 When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre, for the ship was there to unload her cargo.
4 И нашавши ученике остасмо онде седам дана: они Павлу говораху Духом да не иде горе у Јерусалим.
4 Y nos quedamos allí siete días, hallados los discípulos, los cuales decían á Pablo por Espíritu, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
4 Having found disciples, we stayed there seven days. These said to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
5 А кад би те ми дане навршисмо, изишавши иђасмо, и праћаху нас сви са женама и децом до иза града, и клекнувши на брегу помолисмо се Богу.
5 Y cumplidos aquellos días, salimos acompañándonos todos, con [sus] mujeres é hijos, hasta fuera de la ciudad; y puestos de rodillas en la ribera, oramos.
5 When those days were over, we departed and went on our journey. They all, with wives and children, brought us on our way until we were out of the city. Kneeling down on the beach, we prayed.
6 И опростивши се један с другим уђосмо у лађу; а они се вратише својим кућама.
6 Y abrazándonos los unos á los otros, subimos al barco, y ellos se volvieron á sus casas.
6 After saying goodbye to each other, we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.
7 А ми почевши пловљење од Тира, дођосмо у Птолемаиду; и поздравивши се с браћом остасмо код њих један дан.
7 Y nosotros, cumplida la navegación, vinimos de Tiro á Tolemaida; y habiendo saludado á los hermanos, nos quedamos con ellos un día.
7 When we had finished the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais. We greeted the brothers and stayed with them one day.
8 А сутрадан пошавши Павле и који бејасмо с њим дођосмо у Ћесарију; и ушавши у кућу Филипа јеванђелиста, који беше један од седам ђакона, остасмо у њега.
8 Y otro día, partidos Pablo y los que con él estábamos, vinimos á Cesarea: y entrando en casa de Felipe el evangelista, el cual era uno de los siete, posamos con él.
8 On the next day, we who were Paul’s companions departed and came to Caesarea. We entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, and stayed with him.
9 И овај имаше четири кћери девојке које прорицаху.
9 Y éste tenía cuatro hijas, doncellas, que profetizaban.
9 Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.
10 Стојећи ми пак онде много дана, дође одозго из Јудеје један пророк, по имену Агав;
10 Y parando nosotros allí por muchos días, descendió de Judea un profeta, llamado Agabo;
10 As we stayed there some days, a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.
11 и дошавши к нама узе појас Павлов и свезавши своје руке и ноге рече: Тако вели Дух Свети: Човека ког је овај појас, овако ће га свезати у Јерусалиму Јевреји, и предаће га у руке незнабожаца.
11 Y venido á nosotros, tomó el cinto de Pablo, y atándose los pies y las manos, dijo: Esto dice el Espíritu Santo: Así atarán los Judíos en Jerusalem al varón cuyo es este cinto, y le entregarán en manos de los Gentiles.
11 Coming to us and taking Paul’s belt, he bound his own feet and hands, and said, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt, and will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.’”
12 И кад чусмо ово, молисмо и ми и ондашњи да не иде горе у Јерусалим.
12 Lo cual como oímos, le rogamos nosotros y los de aquel lugar, que no subiese á Jerusalem.
12 When we heard these things, both we and the people of that place begged him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 А Павле одговори и рече: Шта чините те плачете и цепате ми срце? Јер ја не само свезан бити хоћу, него и умрети у Јерусалиму готов сам за име Господа Исуса.
13 Entonces Pablo respondió: ¿Qué hacéis llorando y afligiéndome el corazón? porque yo no sólo estoy presto á ser atado, mas aun á morir en Jerusalem por el nombre del Señor Jesús.
13 Then Paul answered, “What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.”
14 А кад га не могасмо одвратити, умукосмо рекавши: Воља Божја нека буде.
14 Y como no le pudimos persuadir, desistimos, diciendo: Hágase la voluntad del Señor.
14 When he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, “The Lord’s will be done.”
15 А после ових дана спремивши се изиђосмо у Јерусалим.
15 Y después de estos días, apercibidos, subimos á Jerusalem.
15 After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem.
16 А дођоше с нама и неки ученици из Ћесарије водећи са собом неког Мнасона из Кипра, старог ученика, у ког бисмо ми стајали.
16 Y vinieron también con nosotros de Cesarea algunos de los discípulos, trayendo consigo á un Mnasón, Cyprio, discípulo antiguo, con el cual posásemos.
16 Some of the disciples from Caesarea also went with us, bringing one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we would stay.
17 И кад дођосмо у Јерусалим, примише нас браћа љубазно.
17 Y cuando llegamos á Jerusalem, los hermanos nos recibieron de buena voluntad.
17 When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly.
18 А сутрадан отиде Павле с нама к Јакову, и дођоше све старешине.
18 Y al día siguiente Pablo entró con nosotros á Jacobo, y todos los ancianos se juntaron;
18 The day following, Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
19 И поздравивши се с њима казиваше све редом шта учини Бог у незнабошцима његовом службом.
19 A los cuales, como los hubo saludado, contó por menudo lo que Dios había hecho entre los Gentiles por su ministerio.
19 When he had greeted them, he reported one by one the things which God had worked among the Gentiles through his ministry.
20 А они чувши хваљаху Бога и рекоше му: Видиш ли, брате! Колико је хиљада Јевреја који вероваше, и сви теже на стари закон.
20 Y ellos como lo oyeron, glorificaron á Dios, y le dijeron: Ya ves, hermano, cuántos millares de Judíos hay que han creído; y todos son celadores de la ley:
20 They, when they heard it, glorified God. They said to him, “You see, brother, how many thousands there are among the Jews of those who have believed, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 А дознали су за тебе да учиш отпадању од закона Мојсијевог све Јевреје који живе међу незнабошцима, казујући да им не треба обрезивати деце своје, нити држати обичаје отачке.
21 Mas fueron informados acerca de ti, que enseñas á apartarse de Moisés á todos los Judíos que están entre los Gentiles, diciéndoles que no han de circuncidar á los hijos, ni andar según la costumbre.
21 They have been informed about you, that you teach all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children and not to walk after the customs.
22 Шта ћемо дакле сад? Народ ће се сабрати јамачно; јер ће чути да си дошао.
22 ¿Qué hay pues? La multitud se reunirá de cierto: porque oirán que has venido.
22 What then? The assembly must certainly meet, for they will hear that you have come.
23 Ово дакле учини шта ти кажемо: у нас имају четири човека који су се заветовали Богу;
23 Haz pues esto que te decimos: Hay entre nosotros cuatro hombres que tienen voto sobre sí:
23 Therefore do what we tell you. We have four men who have taken a vow.
24 ове узми и очисти се с њима, и потроши на њих нека острижу главе своје, и сви ће дознати да оно што су чули за тебе ништа није, него да и сам држиш закон и живиш по њему.
24 Tomando á éstos contigo, purifícate con ellos, y gasta con ellos, para que rasuren sus cabezas, y todos entiendan que no hay nada de lo que fueron informados acerca de ti; sino que tú también andas guardando la ley.
24 Take them and purify yourself with them, and pay their expenses for them, that they may shave their heads. Then all will know that there is no truth in the things that they have been informed about you, but that you yourself also walk keeping the law.
25 А за незнабошце који вероваше ми посласмо пресудивши да они такво ништа не држе осим да се чувају од прилога идолских, и од крви, и од удављеног, и од курварства.
25 Empero cuanto á los que de los Gentiles han creído, nosotros hemos escrito haberse acordado que no guarden nada de esto; solamente que se abstengan de lo que fuere sacrificado á los ídolos, y de sangre, y de ahogado, y de fornicación.
25 But concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written our decision that they should observe no such thing, except that they should keep themselves from food offered to idols, from blood, from strangled things, and from sexual immorality.”
26 Тада Павле узе оне људе, и сутрадан очистивши се с њима, уђе у цркву, и показа како извршује дане очишћења докле се не принесе жртва за сваког њих.
26 Entonces Pablo tomó consigo aquellos hombres, y al día siguiente, habiéndose purificado con ellos, entró en el templo, para anunciar el cumplimiento de los días de la purificación, hasta ser ofrecida ofrenda por cada uno de ellos.
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purified himself and went with them into the temple, declaring the fulfillment of the days of purification, until the offering was offered for every one of them.
27 А кад хтеде да се наврши седам дана, видевши га у цркви они Јевреји што беху из Азије, побунише сав народ, и метнуше руке на њ.
27 Y cuando estaban para acabarse los siete días, unos Judíos de Asia, como le vieron en el templo, alborotaron todo el pueblo y le echaron mano,
27 When the seven days were almost completed, the Jews from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the multitude and laid hands on him,
28 Вичући: Помагајте, људи Израиљци! Ово је човек који против народа и закона и против овог места учи све свуда; па још и Грке уведе у цркву и опогани свето место ово.
28 Dando voces: Varones Israelitas, ayudad: Este es el hombre que por todas partes enseña á todos contra el pueblo, y la ley, y este lugar; y además de esto ha metido Gentiles en el templo, y ha contaminado este lugar santo.
28 crying out, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches all men everywhere against the people, and the law, and this place. Moreover, he also brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place!”
29 Јер беху видели с њим у граду Трофима из Ефеса, ког мишљаху да је увео Павле у цркву.
29 Porque antes habían visto con él en la ciudad á Trófimo, Efesio, al cual pensaban que Pablo había metido en el templo.
29 For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian with him in the city, and they supposed that Paul had brought him into the temple.
30 И сав се град подиже, и навали народ са свију страна, и ухвативши Павла вуцијаху га напоље из цркве; и одмах се затворише врата.
30 Así que, toda la ciudad se alborotó, y agolpóse el pueblo; y tomando á Pablo, hiciéronle salir fuera del templo, y luego las puertas fueron cerradas.
30 All the city was moved and the people ran together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple. Immediately the doors were shut.
31 А кад хтеше да га убију, дође глас горе к војводи од чете да се побуни сав Јерусалим.
31 Y procurando ellos matarle, fué dado aviso al tribuno de la compañía, que toda la ciudad de Jerusalem estaba alborotada;
31 As they were trying to kill him, news came up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 А он одмах узевши војнике и капетане дотрча на њих. А они видевши војводу и војнике престаше бити Павла.
32 El cual tomando luego soldados y centuriones, corrió á ellos. Y ellos como vieron al tribuno y á los soldados, cesaron de herir á Pablo.
32 Immediately he took soldiers and centurions and ran down to them. They, when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, stopped beating Paul.
33 А војвода приступивши узе га, и заповеди да га метну у двоје вериге, и питаше ко је и шта је учинио.
33 Entonces llegando el tribuno, le prendió, y le mandó atar con dos cadenas; y preguntó quién era, y qué había hecho.
33 Then the commanding officer came near, arrested him, commanded him to be bound with two chains, and inquired who he was and what he had done.
34 А један викаше једно, а други друго по народу. А кад не може од буне ништа да разуме управо, заповеди да га одведу у логор.
34 Y entre la multitud, unos gritaban una cosa, y otros otra: y como no podía entender nada de cierto á causa del alboroto, le mandó llevar á la fortaleza.
34 Some shouted one thing and some another, among the crowd. When he couldn’t find out the truth because of the noise, he commanded him to be brought into the barracks.
35 А кад би на басамацима, мораше га војници носити силе ради народа.
35 Y como llegó á las gradas, aconteció que fué llevado de los soldados á causa de la violencia del pueblo;
35 When he came to the stairs, he was carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the crowd;
36 Јер за њим приста мноштво народа који викаху: Погуби га.
36 Porque multitud de pueblo venía detrás, gritando: Mátale.
36 for the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, “Away with him!”
37 А кад хтеде Павле да уђе у логор, рече војводи: Је ли ми слободно говорити шта теби? А он рече: Зар умеш грчки?
37 Y como comenzaron á meter á Pablo en la fortaleza, dice al tribuno: ¿Me será lícito hablarte algo? Y él dijo: ¿Sabes griego?
37 As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he asked the commanding officer, “May I speak to you?” He said, “Do you know Greek?
38 Ниси ли ти Мисирац који пре ових дана подбуни и изведе у пустињу четири хиљаде хајдука?
38 ¿No eres tú aquel Egipcio que levantaste una sedición antes de estos días, y sacaste al desierto cuatro mil hombres salteadores?
38 Aren’t you then the Egyptian who before these days stirred up to sedition and led out into the wilderness the four thousand men of the Assassins?”
39 А Павле рече: Ја сам човек Јеврејин из Тарса, грађанин познатог града у Киликији; него те молим допусти ми да говорим к народу.
39 Entonces dijo Pablo: Yo de cierto soy hombre Judío, ciudadano de Tarso, ciudad no obscura de Cilicia: empero ruégote que me permitas que hable al pueblo.
39 But Paul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city. I beg you, allow me to speak to the people.”
40 А кад му допусти, стаде Павле на басамацима и махну руком на народ; и кад поста велика тишина проговори јеврејским језиком говорећи:
40 Y como él se lo permitió, Pablo, estando en pie en las gradas, hizo señal con la mano al pueblo. Y hecho grande silencio, habló en lengua hebrea, diciendo:
40 When he had given him permission, Paul, standing on the stairs, beckoned with his hand to the people. When there was a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,

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).
This was the Bishop of Jerusalem; and to him (Paul) is sent on an earlier occasion. This (James) was brother of the Lord; a great and admirable man. (To him, it says,) "Paul entered in with us." Mark the (Bishop's) unassuming behavior: "and the elders" (were present).

Of which city was the Apostle Paul, being born in Tarsus of Cilicia. But some have understood by it Carthage, being haply sometimes so named, or in some language so signified.

This man gives directions to Paul himself, when he was after this come up again to Jerusalem, saying, "Thou seest, brother, how many thousands there are of them that are come together." So great was his understanding and his zeal, or rather so great the power of Christ.

Thus, for instance, both Peter appears to have been "girded," and Paul; for it saith, "the man that owneth this girdle." And Elijah too was thus arrayed, and every one of the saints, because they were at work continually, laboring, and busying themselves either in journeyings, or about some other necessary matter; and not for this cause only, but also …

For indeed even Paul was of them, and the thousands that believed in Jerusalem; for, "thou seest it is said, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe." And if some continued in their sin, to themselves let them impute their punishment.
