Luka 12
1 Kad se uto skupilo mnoštvo, tisuće i tisuće, te su jedni druge gazili, poče Isus govoriti najprije svojim učenicima: “Čuvajte se kvasca farizejskoga, to jest licemjerja.
In the mean time great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,
2 Ništa nije skriveno što se neće otkriti ni tajno što se neće saznati.
which shall not be discovered; nor hidden which shall not be known.
3 Naprotiv, sve što u tami rekoste, na svjetlu će se čuti; i što ste po skrovištima u uho šaptali, propovijedat će se po krovovima.”
Therefore whatsoever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in the light: and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on the house-tops.
4 “A kažem vama, prijateljima svojim: ne bojte se onih koji ubijaju tijelo, a nakon toga nemaju više što učiniti.
Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.
5 Pokazat ću vam koga vam se bojati: onoga se bojte koji pošto ubije, ima moć baciti u pakao. Da, velim vam, njega se bojte! (Geenna g1067)
But I will shew you whom ye should fear, ---Fear Him, who after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Ne prodaje li se pet vrapčića za dva novčića? Pa ipak ni jednoga od njih Bog ne zaboravlja.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaries, and not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 A vama su i vlasi na glavi sve izbrojene. Ne bojte se! Vredniji ste nego mnogo vrabaca!”
Nay the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Be not therefore afraid; ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
8 “A kažem vam: tko se god prizna mojim pred ljudima, i Sin Čovječji priznat će se njegovim pred anđelima Božjim.
But I say unto you, Whosoever shall own me before men, the Son of man will also own him before the angels of God.
9 A tko mene zaniječe pred ljudima, bit će zanijekan pred anđelima Božjim.”
But he, that disowneth me before men, shall be disowned before the angels of God.
10 “I tko god rekne riječ na Sina Čovječjega, oprostit će mu se. Ali tko pohuli protiv Duha Svetoga, neće mu se oprostiti.”
And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but unto him, that blasphemeth the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven.
11 “Nadalje, kad vas budu dovodili pred sinagoge i poglavarstva i vlasti, ne budite zabrinuti kako ćete se ili čime braniti, što li reći!
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what defence to make, or what to say:
12 Ta Duh Sveti poučit će vas u taj čas što valja reći.”
for the holy Spirit shall teach you at that very time what ye ought to say.
13 Tada mu netko iz mnoštva reče: “Učitelju, reci mome bratu da podijeli sa mnom baštinu.”
And one among the multitude said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me: but He said unto him,
14 Nato mu on reče: “Čovječe, tko me postavio sucem ili djeliocem nad vama?”
Man, who set me over you as a judge or divider?
15 I dometnu im: “Klonite se i čuvajte svake pohlepe: koliko god netko obilovao, život mu nije u onom što posjeduje.”
And He said unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of his possessions.
16 Kaza im i prispodobu: “Nekomu bogatu čovjeku obilno urodi zemlja
And He spake a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 pa u sebi razmišljaše: 'Što da učinim? Nemam gdje skupiti svoju ljetinu.'
and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do? for I have not room to lay up my corn.
18 I reče: 'Evo što ću učiniti! Srušit ću svoje žitnice i podignuti veće pa ću ondje zgrnuti sve žito i dobra svoja.
And he said, This I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will bestow all my products and my goods.
19 Tada ću reći duši svojoj: dušo, evo imaš u zalihi mnogo dobara za godine mnoge. Počivaj, jedi, pij, uživaj!'
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast plenty of goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
20 Ali Bog mu reče: 'Bezumniče! Već noćas duša će se tvoja zaiskati od tebe! A što si pripravio, čije će biti?'
But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 Tako biva s onim koji sebi zgrće blago, a ne bogati se u Bogu.”
So is he that heapeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards God.
22 Zatim reče svojim učenicima: “Zato vam kažem: ne budite zabrinuti za život: što ćete jesti; ni za tijelo: u što ćete se obući.
And He said to his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on:
23 Ta život je vredniji od jela i tijelo od odijela.
the life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Promotrite gavrane! Ne siju niti žanju, nemaju spremišta ni žitnice, pa ipak ih Bog hrani. Koliko li ste vi vredniji od ptica!
Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap; they have neither store-house nor barn, and yet God feedeth them: how much more worth are ye than the fowls?
25 A tko od vas zabrinutošću može svojemu stasu dodati lakat?
And which of you by all his thought can add one moment to his life?
26 Ako dakle ni ono najmanje ne možete, što ste onda za ostalo zabrinuti?
If then ye cannot do even the lest, why are ye so anxious about the rest?
27 Promotrite ljiljane, kako niti predu niti tkaju, a kažem vam: ni Salomon se u svoj svojoj slavi ne zaodjenu kao jedan od njih.
Consider the lilies, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
28 Pa ako travu koja je danas u polju, a sutra se u peć baca Bog tako odijeva, koliko li će više vas, malovjerni!”
Now if God so clothe the grass which is to day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 “Zato i vi: ne tražite što ćete jesti, što piti. Ne uznemirujte se!
And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; neither be ye in careful suspense:
30 Ta sve to traže pogani ovoga svijeta. Otac vaš zna da vam je sve to potrebno.
for all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Nego, tražite kraljevstvo njegovo, a to će vam se nadodati!”
Seek ye therefore the kingdom of God, and all these shall be super-added unto you.
32 “Ne boj se, stado malo: svidjelo se Ocu vašemu dati vam Kraljevstvo.”
Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom.
33 “Prodajte što god imate i dajte za milostinju! Načinite sebi kese koje ne stare, blago nepropadljivo na nebesima, kamo se kradljivac ne približava i gdje moljac ne rastače.
Sell what ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where no thief approacheth nor moth corrupteth:
34 Doista, gdje vam je blago, ondje će vam i srce biti.”
for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 “Neka vam bokovi budu opasani i svjetiljke upaljene,
Let your loins be girt, and your lights burning, and
36 a vi slični ljudima što čekaju gospodara kad se vraća sa svadbe da mu odmah otvore čim stigne i pokuca.
ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.
37 Blago onim slugama koje gospodar, kada dođe, nađe budne! Zaista, kažem vam, pripasat će se, posaditi ih za stol pa će pristupiti i posluživati ih.
Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will come and serve them.
38 Pa dođe li o drugoj ili o trećoj straži i nađe ih tako, blago njima!”
And if he come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so, happy indeed are those servants.
39 “A ovo znajte: kad bi domaćin znao u koji čas kradljivac dolazi, ne bi dao prokopati kuće.
And this ye know, that if the master of a house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open:
40 I vi budite pripravni jer u čas kad i ne mislite Sin Čovječji dolazi.”
therefore be ye also ready; for the Son of man cometh at a season that ye think not of.
41 Nato će Petar: “Gospodine, govoriš li tu prispodobu samo za nas ili i za sve?”
Then said Peter unto Him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us only, or to all others likewise?
42 Reče Gospodin: “Tko li je onaj vjerni i razumni upravitelj što će ga gospodar postaviti nad svojom poslugom da im u pravo vrijeme daje obrok?
And the Lord said, Who is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure of food in due season?
43 Blago onome sluzi kojega gospodar kada dođe, nađe da tako radi.
Happy is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 Uistinu, kažem vam, postavit će ga nad svim imanjem svojim.”
Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
45 “No rekne li taj sluga u srcu: 'Okasnit će gospodar moj' pa stane tući sluge i sluškinje, jesti, piti i opijati se,
But if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, and drink, and to be drunken:
46 doći će gospodar toga sluge u dan u koji mu se ne nada i u čas u koji i ne sluti; rasjeći će ga i dodijeliti mu udes među nevjernicima.”
the lord of that servant will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
47 “I onaj sluga što je znao volju gospodara svoga, a nije bio spreman ili nije učinio po volji njegovoj, dobit će mnogo udaraca.
And that servant, who knew his master's will, and did not prepare himself to do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
48 A onaj koji nije znao, ali je učinio što zaslužuje udarce, dobit će malo udaraca. Kome je god mnogo dano, od njega će se mnogo iskati. Kome je mnogo povjereno, više će se od njega iskati.”
but he that knew it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49 “Oganj dođoh baciti na zemlju pa što hoću ako je već planuo!
I am come to send fire on the earth, and how do I desire that it were already kindled?
50 Ali krstom mi se krstiti i kakve li muke za me dok se to ne izvrši!”
for I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am straitened till it be accomplished?
51 “Mislite li da sam došao mir dati na zemlji? Nipošto, kažem vam, nego razdjeljenje.
Do ye think that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, nay; but rather division.
52 Ta bit će odsada petorica u jednoj kući razdijeljena: razdijelit će se trojica protiv dvojice i dvojica protiv trojice -
For from this time there shall be five in one family divided, three against two and two against three:
53 otac protiv sina i sin protiv oca, mati protiv kćeri i kći protiv matere, svekrva protiv snahe i snaha protiv svekrve.”
the father will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Zatim je govorio mnoštvu: “Kad opazite da se oblak diže na zapadu, odmah kažete: 'Kiša će!' I bude tako.
He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves:
55 Kad zapuše južnjak, kažete: 'Bit će vrućine!' I bude.
and when ye observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be heat, and it cometh to pass.
56 Licemjeri! Lice zemlje i neba umijete rasuditi, kako onda ovo vrijeme ne rasuđujete?”
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?
57 “Zašto sami od sebe ne sudite što je pravo?
and why do ye not even of yourselves judge what is right?
58 Kad s protivnikom ideš glavaru, na putu sve uloži da ga se oslobodiš pa te ne odvuče k sucu. Sudac će te predati izvršitelju, a izvršitelj baciti u tamnicu.
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, endeavour while thou art in the way to be discharged, least he force thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer carry thee to prison.
59 Kažem ti: nećeš izići odande dok ne isplatiš do posljednjega novčića.”
I tell thee, thou shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
