Luka 4
1 Isus se, pun Duha Svetoga, vratio s Jordana i Duh ga četrdeset dana vodio pustinjom,
As Jesus left the Jordan [River valley], the Holy Spirit was completely controlling him.
2 gdje ga je iskušavao đavao. Tih dana nije ništa jeo, te kad oni istekoše, ogladnje.
For 40 days the Spirit led him around in the desolate area. During that time Jesus was being tempted by the devil {the devil was tempting him}, and Jesus did not eat anything. When that time ended, he was [very] hungry.
3 A đavao mu reče: “Ako si Sin Božji, reci ovom kamenu da postane kruhom.”
Then the devil said to Jesus, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with] God as a son [has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] telling these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 Isus mu odgovori: “Pisano je: Ne živi čovjek samo o kruhu.”
Jesus replied, “[No, I will not change stones into bread, because it is written] {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures] that [eating] food sustains people physically, but it does not [sustain them spiritually. They also need food for their spirits].”
5 I povede ga đavao na visoko, pokaza mu odjednom sva kraljevstva zemlje
Then the devil took him on top of [a high mountain] and showed him in an instant all the nations in the world.
6 i reče mu: “Tebi ću dati svu ovu vlast i slavu njihovu jer meni je dana i komu hoću, dajem je.
Then he said to [Jesus], “I will give you the authority [to rule] all these areas and will make you famous. [I can do this] because [God] has permitted me [to control these areas], and I can allow anyone I desire to rule them!
7 Ako se dakle pokloniš preda mnom, sve je tvoje.”
So if you worship me, I will [let] you [rule] them all!”
8 Isus mu odgovori: “Pisano je: Klanjaj se Gospodinu, Bogu svomu, i njemu jedinomu služi!”
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [worship you, because] it is written {[the Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘It is the Lord, your God, whom you must worship, and you must serve only him!’”
9 Povede ga u Jeruzalem i postavi na vrh Hrama i reče mu: “Ako si Sin Božji, baci se odavde dolje!
Then the devil took [Jesus] to Jerusalem. He set him on the highest part of the Temple and said to him, “Because you [claim that you] ([have a relationship with God as a son has with his father] [MET]/are the man who is both God and man), [prove it by] jumping down from here.
10 Ta pisamo je: Anđelima će svojim zapovjediti za tebe da te čuvaju.
[You will not be hurt], because it is written {the [Psalmist] wrote} [in the Scriptures], ‘God will command his angels to protect you [(sg)].
11 I: Na rukama će te nositi da se gdje nogom ne spotakneš o kamen.”
They will lift you up with their hands [when you are falling], so that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
12 Odgovori mu Isus: “Rečeno je: Ne iskušavaj Gospodina, Boga svojega!”
But Jesus replied, “[No, I] will not [do that, because] it is written {[Moses] wrote} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Do not try to test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish]’.”
13 Pošto iscrpi sve kušnje, đavao se udalji od njega do druge prilike.
Then, after the devil had finished trying to tempt [Jesus] in many ways, he left him. He wanted to try to tempt him later at an appropriate time.
14 A Isus se u snazi Duha vrati u Galileju te glas o njemu puče po svoj okolici.
As the Spirit empowered him, Jesus returned to Galilee [district. People] throughout all that region heard about what he [was doing].
15 I slavljen od sviju, naučavaše po njihovim sinagogama.
He taught [people] in their (synagogues/meeting places). [As a result], he was praised by everyone {everyone praised him}.
16 I dođe u Nazaret, gdje bijaše othranjen. I uđe po svom običaju na dan subotni u sinagogu te ustane čitati.
Then [Jesus] went to Nazareth, [the town] where he grew up. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) he went (to the synagogue/to the Jewish meeting place), as he usually did. He stood up [to indicate that he wanted] to read [Scriptures] to them.
17 Pruže mu Knjigu proroka Izaije. On razvije knjigu i nađe mjesto gdje stoji napisano:
A scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written] was given to him {[Someone] gave to him a scroll containing [the words] that the prophet Isaiah [had written]}. He opened the scroll and found the place from which he [wanted to] read. [He read these words]:
18 Duh Gospodnji na meni je jer me pomaza! On me posla blagovjesnikom biti siromasima, proglasiti sužnjima oslobođenje, vid slijepima, na slobodu pustiti potlačene,
The Spirit (of the Lord/of God) is upon me. He has appointed [MTY] me to declare God’s good news to the poor. He has sent me [here] to proclaim that God will deliver those whom [Satan] has captured, and he will [enable me to] enable those who are blind to see. He will enable me to free people who have been oppressed {whom [others] have oppressed}.
19 proglasiti godinu milosti Gospodnje.
And he sent me to declare that now is the time when (the Lord/God) will [act] favorably [toward people].
20 Tada savi knjigu, vrati je poslužitelju i sjede. Oči sviju u sinagogi bijahu uprte u njega.
Then he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant, and sat down [to teach the people]. Everyone in the synagogue was looking intently [MTY] at him.
21 On im progovori: “Danas se ispunilo ovo Pismo što vam još odzvanja u ušima.”
He said to them, “Today as you have been hearing [MTY] [me speak], [I am beginning] to fulfill this Scripture passage.”
22 I svi su mu povlađivali i divili se milini riječi koje su tekle iz njegovih usta. Govorahu: “Nije li ovo sin Josipov?”
[At first] everyone there spoke well about him, and they were amazed at the charming words that he spoke. [But then some of] them said, “(He is [only] Joseph’s son!/Isn’t he [only] Joseph’s son?) [RHQ] [So] ([it is useless for us(exc) to listen to what he says!/why should we(exc) listen to what he says]?) [RHQ]”
23 A on im reče: “Zacijelo ćete mi reći onu prispodobu: Liječniče, izliječi sam sebe! Što smo čuli da se dogodilo u Kafarnaumu, učini i ovdje, u svom zavičaju.”
He said to them, “Surely [some of] you will quote to me the proverb that says, ‘Doctor, heal yourself!’ [What you will mean is], ‘People told us that you did miracles in Capernaum [town, but we(exc) do not know if those reports are true. So] do miracles here in your own hometown, too!’”
24 I nastavi: “Zaista, kažem vam, nijedan prorok nije dobro došao u svom zavičaju.
Then he said, “It is certainly true that [people] do not accept [the message of] a prophet when he speaks in his hometown, [just like you(pl) are not accepting my message now].
25 Uistinu, kažem vam, mnogo bijaše udovica u Izraelu u dane Ilijine kad se na tri godine i šest mjeseci zatvorilo nebo pa zavladala velika glad po svoj zemlji.
But think about this: There were many widows in Israel during the time when [the prophet] Elijah [lived. During that time], because of there being no rain [MTY] for three years and six months, there was a great famine throughout the country.
26 I ni k jednoj od njih nije bio poslan Ilija doli k ženi udovici u Sarfati sidonskoj.
But [God] did not send Elijah to [help] any of those [Jewish] widows. [God sent him] to Zarepath [town] near Sidon [city], to [help] a [non-Jewish] widow.
27 I mnogo bijaše gubavaca u Izraelu za proroka Elizeja. I nijedan se od njih ne očisti doli Naaman Sirac.”
There were also many [Jewish] lepers in Israel during the time when the prophet Elisha [lived]. But [Elisha] did not heal any of them. He healed only Naaman, a [non-Jewish] man from Syria.”
28 Čuvši to, svi se u sinagogi napune gnjevom,
When all the people in the synagogue heard him say that, they were very angry, [because they realized that he was inferring that he similarly would help non-Jewish people instead of helping Jews] (OR, [that they also were not worthy of receiving God’s help]).
29 ustanu, izbace ga iz grada i odvedu na rub brijega na kojem je sagrađen njihov grad da ga strmoglave.
So they all got up and shoved him out of the town. They took him to the top of the hill outside their town in order to throw him off the cliff [and kill him].
30 No on prođe između njih i ode.
But he [simply] walked through their midst and went away.
31 I siđe u Kafarnaum, grad galilejski. I poučavaše ih subotom
[One day] Jesus went [with his disciples] down to Capernaum, a town in Galilee [district]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) (OR, Each (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest)), he taught the people ([in the synagogue/in the Jewish meeting place]).
32 te bijahu zaneseni njegovim naukom jer silna bijaše riječ njegova.
They were continually amazed at what he was teaching, because [he spoke] ([with authority/as people speak who have] the right to command others what to do).
33 A zatekao se u sinagogi čovjek s duhom nečistoga đavla. On povika u sav glas:
[That day], (OR, On one of those Jewish days of rest, ) there was a man in the synagogue who was controlled by an evil spirit. That man shouted very loudly,
34 “Hej, što ti imaš s nama, Isuse Nazarećanine? Došao si da nas uništiš! Znam ja tko si ti: Svetac Božji.”
“Hey! Jesus, from Nazareth! [We(exc) evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, so ([do not interfere with us now!/why should you interfere with us now]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now!]/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. You are the Holy One [who has come] from God!”
35 Isus mu zaprijeti: “Umukni i iziđi iz njega!” Nato đavao čovjeka obori u sredinu te iziđe iz njega ne naudiv mu ništa.
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!” The demon threw the man down on the ground in the midst of the people. But without harming the man, the demon left him.
36 I nasta opće zaprepaštenje te se među sobom razgovarahu: “Kakve li riječi! S vlašću i snagom zapovijeda nečistim dusima te izlaze!”
The people were all amazed. They said to each other, “(What he says to the demons [has great power!/] [kind of] teaching is this?) [RHQ] He speaks to them like he knows that they must obey him, and as a result they leave people!”
37 I glas se o njemu širio po svim okolnim mjestima.
The people were telling everyone in [every village] in the surrounding region what Jesus [had done].
38 Ustavši iz sinagoge, uđe u kuću Šimunovu. A Šimunovu je punicu mučila velika ognjica. I zamole ga za nju.
Jesus [and his disciples] left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place) and entered Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was sick and had a high fever. So [others in Simon’s family] (OR, [the disciples]) asked Jesus to [heal] her.
39 On se nadvi nad nju, zaprijeti ognjici i ona je pusti. I odmah ustade i posluživaše im.
So he bent over her and commanded the fever to leave her. At once she became well! She got up and served them [some food].
40 O zalazu sunca svi koji su imali bolesnike od raznih bolesti dovedoše ih k njemu. A on bi na svakoga od njih stavljao ruke i ozdravljao ih.
When the sun was setting [that day, and the restriction about not traveling] (on [the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [was ended], many people [HYP] whose [friends or relatives] were sick or who had various diseases brought them to Jesus. He put his hands on them and healed [all of] them.
41 A iz mnogih su izlazili i zlodusi vičući: “Ti si Sin Božji!” On im se prijetio i nije im dao govoriti jer su znali da je on Krist.
He also was [expelling demons] from many people. As the demons left those people, they shouted to Jesus, “You are (the Son of God/the one who is God and man)!” But he rebuked those demons and would not allow them to tell [people about him], because they knew that he was the Messiah, and [for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
42 Kad osvanu dan, iziđe i pođe na samotno mjesto. I mnoštvo ga tražilo. Dođoše k njemu i zadržavahu ga da ne ode od njih.
[Early] the next morning [Jesus] left that house and went to an uninhabited place [to pray]. Many people searched for him, and when they found him they kept urging him not to leave them.
43 A on im reče: “I drugim gradovima treba da navješćujem evanđelje o kraljevstvu Božjem. Jer za to sam poslan.”
But he said to them, “I must tell [people] in other towns also the good message about how God wants to rule [MET] their lives, because that is what I was sent {[God] sent me} to do.”
44 I naučavaše po sinagogama judejskim.
So he kept preaching in (the synagogues/Jewish worship places) [in various towns] in Judea [province].
