Luka 11
1 Jednom je Isus na nekome mjestu molio. Čim presta, reče mu jedan od učenika: “Gospodine, nauči nas moliti kao što je i Ivan naučio svoje učenike.”
One day Jesus was at a certain place praying, and, when he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Master, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples.”
2 On im reče: “Kad molite, govorite: 'Oče! Sveti se ime tvoje! Dođi kraljevstvo tvoje!
“When you pray,” Jesus answered, “say – ‘Father, may your name be held holy, your kingdom come.
3 Kruh naš svagdanji daji nam svaki dan!
Give us each day the bread that we will need;
4 I otpusti nam grijehe naše: ta i mi otpuštamo svakom dužniku svojem! I ne uvedi nas u napast!'”
and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone who wrongs us; and take us not into temptation.’”
5 I reče im: “Tko to od vas ima ovakva prijatelja? Pođe k njemu o ponoći i rekne mu: 'Prijatelju, posudi mi tri kruha.
Jesus also said to them, “Suppose that one of you who has a friend were to go to him in the middle of the night and say ‘Friend, lend me three loaves,
6 Prijatelj mi se s puta svratio te nemam što staviti preda nj!'
for a friend of mine has arrived at my house after a journey, and I have nothing to offer him;’
7 A onaj mu iznutra odgovori: 'Ne dosađuj mi! Vrata su već zatvorena, a dječica sa mnom u postelji. Ne mogu ustati da ti dadnem...'
And suppose that the other should answer from inside ‘Do not trouble me; the door is already fastened, and my children and I are in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything’;
8 Kažem vam: ako i ne ustane da mu dadne zato što mu je prijatelj, ustat će i dati mu što god treba zbog njegove bezočnosti.”
I tell you that, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is a friend, yet because of his persistence he will rouse himself and give him what he wants.
9 “I ja vama kažem: Ištite i dat će vam se! Tražite i naći ćete! Kucajte i otvorit će vam se!
“And so I say to you – Ask, and your prayer will be granted, search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you.
10 Doista, tko god ište, prima; i tko traži, nalazi; i onomu tko kuca, otvorit će se.”
For the person who asks receives, everyone who searches finds, and to the person who knocks the door will be opened.
11 “A koji je to otac među vama: kad ga sin zaište ribu, zar će mu mjesto ribe zmiju dati?
What father among you, if his son asks him for a fish, will give him a snake instead,
12 Ili kad zaište jaje, zar će mu dati štipavca?
or, if he asks for an egg, will give him a scorpion?
13 Ako dakle vi, iako zli, znate dobrim darima darivati djecu svoju, koliko li će više Otac s neba obdariti Duhom Svetim one koji ga zaištu!”
If you, then, naturally wicked though you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”
14 I istjerivaše đavla koji bijaše nijem. Kad iziđe đavao, progovori njemak. I mnoštvo se divilo.
Once Jesus was driving out a mute demon, and, when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke. The people were amazed at this;
15 A neki od njih rekoše: “Po Beelzebulu, poglavici đavolskom, izgoni đavle!”
but some of them said, “He drives out demons by the help of Beelzebul, the chief of the demons”;
16 A drugi su iskušavajući ga, tražili od njega kakav znak s neba.
while others, to test him, asked him for some sign from the heavens.
17 Ali on, znajući njihove misli, reče im: “Svako kraljevstvo u sebi razdijeljeno opustjet će i kuća će na kuću pasti.
Jesus himself, however, was aware of what they were thinking, and said to them, “Any kingdom wholly divided against itself becomes a desolation; and a divided house falls.
18 Ako je dakle Sotona u sebi razdijeljen, kako će opstati kraljevstvo njegovo? Jer vi kažete da ja po Beelzebulu izgonim đavle.
So, too, if Satan is wholly divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? Yet you say that I drive out demons by the help of Beelzebul.
19 Ako dakle ja po Beelzebulu izgonim đavle, po kome ih vaši sinovi izgone? Zato će vam oni biti suci.
But, if it is by Beelzebul’s help that I drive out demons, by whose help is it that your own sons drive them out? Therefore they will themselves be your judges.
20 Ali ako ja prstom Božjim izgonim đavle, zbilja je došlo k vama kraljevstvo Božje.”
But, if it is by the hand of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God must already be upon you.
21 “Dokle god jaki i naoružani čuva svoj stan, u miru je sav njegov posjed.
When a strong man is keeping guard, fully armed, over his own mansion, his property is in safety;
22 Ali ako dođe jači od njega, svlada ga i otme mu sve njegovo oružje u koje se uzdao, a plijen razdijeli.”
but, when one still stronger has attacked and overpowered him, he takes away all the weapons on which the other had relied, and divides his spoil.
23 “Tko nije sa mnom, protiv mene je. I tko sa mnom ne sabire, rasipa.”
Whoever is not with me is against me, and the person who does not help me to gather is scattering.
24 “Kad nečisti duh iziđe iz čovjeka, luta bezvodnim mjestima tražeći spokoja. Kad ga ne nađe, rekne: 'Vratit ću se u kuću odakle iziđoh.'
No sooner does a foul spirit leave someone, than it passes through places where there is no water, in search of rest; and finding none, it says ‘I will go back to the home which I left’;
25 Došavši, nađe je pometenu i uređenu.
but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order.
26 Tada ode i uzme sa sobom sedam drugih duhova, gorih od sebe, te uđu i nastane se ondje. Na kraju bude onomu čovjeku gore nego na početku.”
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in, and make their home there; and the last state of that person proves to be worse than the first.”
27 Dok je on to govorio, povika neka žena iz mnoštva: “Blažena utroba koja te nosila i prsi koje si sisao!”
As Jesus was saying this, a woman in the crowd, raising her voice, exclaimed, “Happy was the mother who bore you and nursed you!”
28 On odgovori: “Još blaženiji oni koji slušaju riječ Božju i čuvaju je!”
But Jesus replied, “Rather, happy are those who listen to God’s message and keep it.”
29 Kad je nagrnulo mnoštvo, poče im Isus govoriti: “Naraštaj ovaj naraštaj je opak. Znak traži, ali mu se znak neće dati doli znak Jonin.
As the crowds increased, Jesus began to speak, “This generation is a wicked generation. It is asking a sign, but no sign will be given it except the sign of Jonah.
30 Doista, kao što je Jona bio znak Ninivljanima, tako će biti i Sin Čovječji ovomu naraštaju.”
For, as Jonah became a sign to the people of Nineveh, so will the Son of Man be to this generation.
31 “Kraljica će Juga ustati na Sudu s ljudima ovog naraštaja i osuditi ih jer je s krajeva zemlje došla čuti mudrost Salomonovu, a evo ovdje i više od Salomona!
At the judgment the Queen of the South will rise up with the people of this generation, and will condemn them, because she came from the ends of the earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon; and here is more than a Solomon!
32 Ninivljani će ustati na Sudu s ovim naraštajem i osuditi ga jer se obratiše na propovijed Joninu, a evo ovdje i više od Jone!”
At the judgment the men of Nineveh will stand up with this generation, and will condemn it, because they repented at Jonah’s proclamation; and here is more than a Jonah!
33 “Nitko ne užiže svjetiljku da je stavi u zakutak ili pod posudu, nego na svijećnjak da oni koji ulaze vide svjetlost.
No one lights a lamp, and then puts it in the cellar or under a basket, but he puts it on the lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
34 Oko je svjetiljka tvomu tijelu. Kad ti je oko bistro, sve ti je tijelo svijetlo. A kad je ono nevaljalo, i tijelo ti je tamno.
The lamp of the body is your eye. When your eye is unclouded, your whole body, also, is lit up; but, as soon as your eye is diseased, your body, also, is darkened.
35 Pazi dakle da svjetlost koja je u tebi ne bude tamna.
Take care, therefore, that the inner light is not darkness.
36 Ako ti dakle sve tijelo bude svijetlo, bez djelića tame, bit će posve svijetlo, kao kad te svjetiljka svojim sjajem rasvjetljuje.”
If, then, your whole body is lit up, and no corner of it darkened, the whole will be lit up, just as when a lamp gives you light by its brilliance.”
37 Dok je on govorio, pozva ga neki farizej k sebi na objed. On uđe i priđe k stolu.
As Jesus finished speaking, a Pharisee asked him to breakfast with him, and Jesus went in and took his place at the table.
38 Vidjevši to, farizej se začudi što se Isus prije objeda ne opra.
The Pharisee noticed, to his astonishment, that Jesus omitted the ceremonial washing before breakfast.
39 A Gospodin mu reče: “Da, vi farizeji čistite vanjštinu čaše u zdjele, a nutrina vam je puna grabeža i pakosti.
But the Master said to him, “You Pharisees do, it is true, clean the outside of the cup and of the plate, but inside you yourselves are filled with greed and wickedness.
40 Bezumnici! Nije li onaj koji načini vanjštinu načinio i nutrinu.
Fools! Did not the maker of the outside make the inside too?
41 Nego, dajte za milostinju ono iznutra i gle - sve vam je čisto.”
Only give away what is in them in charity, and at once you have the whole clean.
42 “Ali jao vama, farizeji! Namirujete desetinu od metvice i rutvice i svake vrste povrća, a ne marite za pravednost i ljubav Božju. Ovo je trebalo činiti, a ono ne zanemariti.”
But alas for you Pharisees! You pay tithes on mint, rue, and herbs of all kinds, and pass over justice and love to God. These last you ought to have put into practice without neglecting the first.
43 “Jao vama farizeji! Volite prvo sjedalo u sinagogama i pozdrave na trgovima.
Alas for you Pharisees! You delight to have the front seat in the synagogues, and to be greeted in the markets with respect.
44 Jao vama! Vi ste kao nezamjetljivi grobovi po kojima ljudi ne znajući hode.”
Alas for you! You are like unsuspected graves, over which men walk unawares.”
45 Nato će neki zakonoznanac: “Učitelju, tako govoreći i nas vrijeđaš.”
Here one of the students of the Law interrupted him by saying, “Teacher, when you say this, you are insulting us also.”
46 A on reče: “Jao i vama, zakonoznanci! Tovarite na ljude terete nepodnosive, a sami ni da ih se jednim prstom dotaknete.”
But Jesus went on, “Alas for you, too, you students of the Law! You load people with loads that are too heavy to carry, but do not, yourselves, touch them with one of your fingers.
47 “Jao vama! Podižete spomenike prorocima, a vaši ih oci ubiše.
Alas for you! You build the monuments of the prophets whom your ancestors killed.
48 Zato ste svjedoci i sumišljenici djela svojih otaca: oni ih ubiše, a vi spomenike podižete!
You are actually witnesses to your ancestors’ acts and show your approval of them, because, while they killed the prophets, you build tombs for them.
49 Zbog toga i kaza Mudrost Božja: 'Poslat ću k njima proroke i apostole. Neke će poubijati i prognati -
That is why the wisdom of God said – ‘I will send to them prophets and apostles,
50 da se od ovog naraštaja zatraži krv svih proroka prolivena od postanka svijeta,
some of whom they will persecute and kill, in order that the blood of all the prophets that has been spilt since the creation of the world may be exacted from this generation –
51 od krvi Abelove do krvi Zaharije, koji je pogubljen između žrtvenika i svetišta.' Da, kažem vam, tražit će se od ovoga naraštaja!”
from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah, who was slain between the altar and the house of God.’ Yes, I tell you, it will be exacted from this generation.
52 “Jao vama, zakonoznanci! Uzeste ključ znanja: sami ne uđoste, a spriječiste one koji htjedoše ući.”
Alas for you students of the Law! You have taken away the key of the door of knowledge. You have not gone in yourselves and you have hindered those who try to go in.”
53 Kad Isus izađe odande, stadoše pismoznanci i farizeji žestoko na nj navaljivati i postavljati mu mnoga pitanja
When Jesus left the house, the teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began to press him hard and question him closely on many subjects,
54 vrebajući na nj, ne bi li štogod ulovili iz njegovih usta.
laying traps for him, so as to seize on anything that he might say.
