Luka 16
1 Govoraše i svojim učenicima: “Bijaše neki bogat čovjek koji je imao upravitelja.
Then He said further to His disciples: “There was a certain rich man who had a manager, who was accused to him of wasting his goods.
2 Ovaj je bio optužen pred njim kao da mu rasipa imanje. On ga pozva pa mu reče: 'Što to čujem o tebi? Položi račun o svom upravljanju jer više ne možeš biti upravitelj!'
So he called him in and said to him: ‘What is this I hear about you? Render an account of your stewardship, because you can no longer be manager.’
3 Nato upravitelj reče u sebi: 'Što da učinim kad mi gospodar moj oduzima upravu? Kopati? Nemam snage. Prositi? Stidim se.
Then the manager said within himself: ‘What shall I do? My master is taking the management away from me. I do not have strength to dig; I am ashamed to beg
4 Znam što ću da me prime u svoje kuće kad budem maknut s uprave.'”
—I know what I will do, so that whenever I am removed from the management they may receive me into their houses.’
5 “I pozva dužnike svoga gospodara, jednog po jednog. Upita prvoga: 'Koliko duguješ gospodaru mojemu?' On reče: 'Sto bata ulja.'
Summoning each one of his master's debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my master?’
6 A on će mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu, sjedni brzo, napiši pedeset.'
And he said, ‘A hundred baths of olive oil.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
7 Zatim reče drugomu: 'A ti, koliko ti duguješ?' On odgovori: 'Sto kora pšenice.' Kaže mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu i napiši osamdeset.'”
Then he said to another, ‘And how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘A hundred measures of wheat.’ So he said to him, ‘Take your bill and write eighty.’
8 “I pohvali gospodar nepoštenog upravitelja što snalažljivo postupi jer sinovi su ovoga svijeta snalažljiviji prema svojima od sinova svjetlosti.” (aiōn g165)
The master even ‘commended’ the dishonest manager, because he had acted shrewdly. The sons of this age are shrewder in their own generation than the sons of the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 “I ja vama kažem: napravite sebi prijatelje od nepoštena bogatstva pa kad ga nestane da vas prime u vječne šatore.” (aiōnios g166)
“I even say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of unrighteous mammon, so that whenever you fail, they may receive you into the eternal dwellings! (aiōnios g166)
10 “Tko je vjeran u najmanjem, i u najvećem je vjeran; a tko je u najmanjem nepošten, i u najvećem je nepošten.
He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much, and he who is dishonest in a very little is dishonest also in much.
11 Ako dakle ne bijaste vjerni u nepoštenom bogatstvu, tko li će vam istinsko povjeriti?
If therefore you have not been faithful with the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the genuine?
12 I ako u tuđem ne bijaste vjerni, tko li će vam vaše dati?”
And if you have not been faithful in what belongs to another, who will give you what is your own?
13 “Nijedan sluga ne može služiti dvojici gospodara. Ili će jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili će uz jednoga prianjati, a drugoga prezirati. Ne možete služiti Bogu i bogatstvu.”
No servant can serve two masters; either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon!”
14 Sve su to slušali farizeji, srebroljupci, i rugali mu se.
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, were also listening to all these things, and they were ridiculing Him.
15 On im reče: “Vi se pravite pravedni pred ljudima, ali zna Bog srca vaša. Jer što je ljudima uzvišeno, odvratnost je pred Bogom.”
So He said to them: “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. That which is exalted among men is an abomination before God.
16 “Zakon i Proroci do Ivana su, a otada se navješćuje kraljevstvo Božje i svatko se u nj silom probija.
The Law and the Prophets were until John; since then the Kingdom of God is being proclaimed, and every one is trying to force his way into it.
17 Lakše će nebo i zemlja proći, negoli propasti i jedan potezić Zakona.”
But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the Law to fail.
18 “Tko god otpusti svoju ženu pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub. I tko se god oženi otpuštenom, čini preljub.”
“Whoever divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.
19 “Bijaše neki bogataš. Odijevao se u grimiz i tanani lan i danomice se sjajno gostio.
“Now there was a certain rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
20 A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je sav u čirevima pred njegovim vratima
And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores, who had been placed at his gate,
21 i priželjkivao nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Čak su i psi dolazili i lizali mu čireve.”
just wanting to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table—why even the dogs would come and lick his sores!
22 “Kad umrije siromah, odnesoše ga anđeli u krilo Abrahamovo. Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan.
In due time the beggar died and was carried away to Abraham's bosom by the angels. “The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Tada u teškim mukama u paklu, podiže svoje oči te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i u krilu mu Lazara (Hadēs g86)
And in Hades he looked up and saw Abraham at a distance, and Lazarus very close to him. And being in torment, (Hadēs g86)
24 pa zavapi: 'Oče Abrahame, smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da umoči vršak svoga prsta u vodu i rashladi mi jezik jer se strašno mučim u ovom plamenu.'
he called out, saying, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue; because I am tormented by this flame!’
25 Reče nato Abraham: 'Sinko! Sjeti se da si za života primio dobra svoja, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti se mučiš.
But Abraham said: ‘Child, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus had bad things; but now he is being comforted, and you tormented.
26 K tome između nas i vas zjapi provalija golema te koji bi i htjeli prijeći odavde k vama, ne mogu, a ni odatle k nama prijelaza nema.'”
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to pass from here to you cannot, nor can anyone from there cross over to us.’
27 “Nato će bogataš: 'Molim te onda, oče, pošalji Lazara u kuću oca moga.
Then he said, ‘I beg you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father's house,
28 Imam petero braće pa neka im posvjedoči da i oni ne dođu u ovo mjesto muka.'
because I have five brothers, so that he may testify to them, lest they also come to this place of torment.’
29 Kaže Abraham: 'Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!'
Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.’
30 A on će: 'O ne, oče Abrahame! Nego dođe li tko od mrtvih k njima, obratit će se.'
So he said to him, ‘Oh no, father Abraham—if someone from the dead should go to them, they will repent!’
31 Reče mu: 'Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Proroka, neće povjerovati sve da i od mrtvih tko ustane.'”
He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone should rise from the dead.’”
