Chapter 15 1And certain having come down from Judea, were teaching the brethren -- `If ye be not circumcised after the custom of Moses, ye are not able to be saved;` 2there having been, therefore, not a little dissension and disputation to Paul and Barnabas with them, they arranged for Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of them, to go up unto the apostles and elders to Jerusalem about this question, 3they indeed, then, having been sent forward by the assembly, were passing through Phenice and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the nations, and they were causing great joy to all the brethren. 4And having come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly, and the apostles, and the elders, they declared also as many things as God did with them; 5and there rose up certain of those of the sect of the Pharisees who believed, saying -- `It behoveth to circumcise them, to command them also to keep the law of Moses.` 6And there were gathered together the apostles and the elders, to see about this matter, 7and there having been much disputing, Peter having risen up said unto them, `Men, brethren, ye know that from former days, God among us did make choice, through my mouth, for the nations to hear the word of the good news, and to believe; 8and the heart-knowing God did bare them testimony, having given to them the Holy Spirit, even as also to us, 9and did put no difference also between us and them, by the faith having purified their hearts; 10now, therefore, why do ye tempt God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? 11but, through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, even as also they.` 12And all the multitude did keep silence, and were hearkening to Barnabas and Paul, declaring as many signs and wonders as God did among the nations through them; 13and after they are silent, James answered, saying, `Men, brethren, hearken to me; 14Simeon did declare how at first God did look after to take out of the nations a people for His name, 15and to this agree the words of the prophets, as it hath been written: 16After these things I will turn back, and I will build again the tabernacle of David, that is fallen down, and its ruins I will build again, and will set it upright -- 17that the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all the nations, upon whom My name hath been called, saith the Lord, who is doing all these things. 18`Known from the ages to God are all His works; 19wherefore I judge: not to trouble those who from the nations do turn back to God, 20but to write to them to abstain from the pollutions of the idols, and the whoredom, and the strangled thing; and the blood; 21for Moses from former generations in every city hath those preaching him -- in the synagogues every sabbath being read.` 22Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chosen men out of themselves to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas -- Judas surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren -- 23having written through their hand thus: `The apostles, and the elders, and the brethren, to those in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia, brethren, who [are] of the nations, greeting; 24seeing we have heard that certain having gone forth from us did trouble you with words, subverting your souls, saying to be circumcised and to keep the law, to whom we did give no charge, 25it seemed good to us, having come together with one accord, chosen men to send unto you, with our beloved Barnabas and Paul -- 26men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ -- 27we have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, and they by word are telling the same things. 28`For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit, and to us, no more burden to lay upon you, except these necessary things: 29to abstain from things offered to idols, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom; from which keeping yourselves, ye shall do well; be strong!` 30They then, indeed, having been let go, went to Antioch, and having brought the multitude together, did deliver the epistle, 31and they having read, did rejoice for the consolation; 32Judas also and Silas, being themselves also prophets, through much discourse did exhort the brethren, and confirm, 33and having passed some time, they were let go with peace from the brethren unto the apostles; 34and it seemed good to Silas to remain there still. 35And Paul and Barnabas continued in Antioch, teaching and proclaiming good news -- with many others also -- the word of the Lord; 36and after certain days, Paul said unto Barnabas, `Having turned back again, we may look after our brethren, in every city in which we have preached the word of the Lord -- how they are.` 37And Barnabas counseled to take with [them] John called Mark, 38and Paul was not thinking it good to take him with them who withdrew from them from Pamphylia, and did not go with them to the work; 39there came, therefore, a sharp contention, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas having taken Mark, did sail to Cyprus, 40and Paul having chosen Silas, went forth, having been given up to the grace of God by the brethren; 41and he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the assemblies. ►Proofing disabled for this book ► Printer-friendly version

Chapter 15 1 Uto neki siðoše iz Judeje i poèeše uèiti braæu: "Ako se ne obrežete po obièaju Mojsijevu, ne možete se spasiti." 2Kad izmeðu njih te Pavla i Barnabe nasta prepirka i raspra nemalena, odrediše da Pavao i Barnaba i još neki drugi izmeðu njih uzaðu u Jeruzalem k apostolima i starješinama poradi tog pitanja. 3Oni su dakle, ispraæeni od Crkve, prolazili kroz Feniciju i Samariju pripovijedajuæi o obraæenju pogana i donoseæi svoj braæi veliku radost. 4Kada pak stigoše u Jeruzalem, primi ih Crkva, apostoli i starješine. Ispripovjediše što sve Bog uèini po njima. 5Onda ustanu neki od onih što iz farizejske sljedbe bijahu prigrlili vjeru pa reknu: "Treba ih obrezati i zapovjediti im da opslužuju Zakon Mojsijev." 6Nato se apostoli i starješine sastanu da to razmotre. 7Nakon duge raspre ustade Petar i reèe im: "Braæo, vi znate kako me Bog od najprvih dana izmeðu vas izabra da iz mojih usta pogani èuju rijeè evanðelja i uzvjeruju. 8I Bog, Poznavatelj srdaca, posvjedoèi za njih: dade im Duha Svetoga kao i nama. 9Nikakve razlike nije pravio izmeðu nas i njih: vjerom oèisti njihova srca. 10Što dakle sada iskušavate Boga stavljajuæi uèenicima na vrat jaram kojeg ni oci naši ni mi nismo mogli nositi? 11Vjerujemo, naprotiv: po milosti smo Gospodina Isusa spašeni, baš kao i oni." 12Nato sve mnoštvo umuknu. Slušali su Barnabu i Pavla koji pripovjedahu kolika je znamenja i èudesa Bog po njima uèinio meðu poganima. 13Kad oni ušutješe, progovori Jakov: "Poslušajte me, braæo! 14Šimun je izložio kako se Bog veæ na poèetku pobrinu izmeðu pogana uzeti narod imenu svojemu. 15S time su u skladu rijeèi Proroka. Ovako je doista pisano: 16Nakon toga vratit æu se i opet podiæi pali šator Davidov, iz ruševina ga podiæi, opet ga sazidati 17da preostali ljudi potraže Gospodina i svi pogani na koje je zazvano ime moje, govori Gospodin, koji to 18obznanjuje odvijeka. 19Zato smatram da ne valja dodijavati onima koji se s poganstva obraæaju k Bogu, 20nego im poruèiti da se uzdržavaju od mesa okaljana idolima, od bludništva, od udavljenoga i od krvi. 21Ta Mojsije od pradavnih naraštaja ima po gradovima propovjednike koji ga u sinagogama svake subote èitaju." 22Tad apostoli i starješine zajedno sa svom Crkvom zakljuèe izabrati neke muževe izmeðu sebe i poslati ih u Antiohiju s Pavlom i Barnabom. Bijahu to Juda zvani Barsaba, i Sila, muževi vodeæi meðu braæom. 23Po njima pošalju ovo pismo: "Apostoli i starješine, braæa, braæi iz poganstva po Antiohiji, Siriji i Ciliciji - pozdrav!" 24"Buduæi da smo èuli kako vas neki od naših, ali bez našega naloga, nekakvim izjavama smetoše i duše vam uznemiriše, 25zakljuèismo jednodušno izabrati neke muževe i poslati ih k vama zajedno s našim ljubljenim Barnabom i Pavlom, 26ljudima koji su svoje živote izložili za ime Gospodina našega Isusa Krista. 27Šaljemo vam dakle Judu i Silu. Oni æe vam i usmeno priopæiti to isto. 28Zakljuèismo Duh Sveti i mi ne nametati vam nikakva tereta osim onoga što je potrebno: 29uzdržavati se od mesa žrtvovana idolima, od krvi, od udavljenoga i od bludništva. Budete li se toga držali, dobro æete uèiniti. Živjeli!" 30Oni su se dakle oprostili i sišli u Antiohiju; sabrali su mnoštvo i predali pismo. 31Kad ga proèitaše, svi se obradovaše zbog ohrabrenja. 32Juda i Sila, i sami proroci, mnogim rijeèima ohrabriše i utvrdiše braæu. 33Neko se vrijeme zadrže pa se onda s mirom od braæe vrate onima koji ih poslaše. 34# 35A Pavao i Barnaba ostadoše u Antiohiji nauèavajuæi i navješæujuæi zajedno s mnogima drugima rijeè Gospodnju. EVANÐELJE U EVROPI 36Nakon nekog vremena reèe Pavao Barnabi: "Vratimo se i pohodimo braæu po svim gradovima u kojima smo navješæivali rijeè Gospodnju, da vidimo kako su!" 37Barnaba je htio povesti i Ivana zvanog Marko. 38Pavao pak nije smatrao uputnim sa sobom voditi onoga koji se u Pamfiliji odvojio od njih te nije s njima pošao na djelo. 39Spopade ih takva ogorèenost da se raziðoše: Barnaba povede Marka i otplovi na Cipar, 40a Pavao sebi izabra Silu pa od braæe povjeren milosti Gospodnjoj 41proputova Siriju i Ciliciju, utvrðujuæi Crkve.
