Luka 7
1 Pošto dovrši sve te svoje besjede narodu, uđe u Kafarnaum.
When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Nekomu satniku bijaše bolestan sluga, samo što ne izdahnu, a bijaše mu veoma drag.
A centurion in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill – almost at the point of death.
3 Kad je satnik čuo za Isusa, posla k njemu starješine židovske moleći ga da dođe i ozdravi mu slugu.
And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
4 Kad oni dođoše Isusu, usrdno ga moljahu: “Dostojan je da mu to učiniš
When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He deserves the favor from you,” they said,
5 jer voli naš narod, i sinagogu nam je sagradio.”
“For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our synagogue for us.”
6 Isus se uputi s njima. I kad bijaše već kući nadomak, posla satnik prijatelje s porukom: “Gospodine, ne muči se. Nisam dostojan da uđeš pod krov moj.
So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the centurion sent some friends with the message – “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
7 Zato se i ne smatrah dostojnim doći k tebi. Nego - reci riječ da ozdravi sluga moj.
That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
8 Ta i ja, premda sam vlasti podređen, imam pod sobom vojnike pa reknem jednomu: 'Idi' - i ode, drugomu: 'Dođi' - i dođe, a sluzi svomu: 'Učini to' - i učini.”
For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
9 Čuvši to, zadivi mu se Isus pa se okrenu mnoštvu koje je išlo za njim i reče: “Kažem vam, ni u Izraelu na nađoh tolike vjere.”
Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said, “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
10 Kad se oni koji su bili poslani vratiše kući, nađoše slugu zdrava.
And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
11 Nakon toga uputi se Isus u grad zvani Nain. Pratili ga njegovi učenici i silan svijet.
Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
12 Kad se približi gradskim vratima, gle, upravo su iznosili mrtvaca, sina jedinca u majke, majke udovice. Pratilo ju mnogo naroda iz grada.
Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial – an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
13 Kad je Gospodin ugleda, sažali mu se nad njom i reče joj: “Ne plači!”
When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 Pristupi zatim, dotače se nosila; nosioci stadoše, a on reče: “Mladiću, kažem ti, ustani!”
Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said, “Young man, I am speaking to you – Rise!”
15 I mrtvac se podiže i progovori, a on ga dade njegovoj majci.
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
16 Sve obuze strah te slavljahu Boga govoreći: “Prorok velik usta među nama! Pohodi Bog narod svoj!”
Everyone was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great prophet has arisen among us,” they said. “God has visited his people.”
17 I proširi se taj glas o njemu po svoj Judeji i po svoj okolici.
And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
18 Sve to dojaviše Ivanu njegovi učenici. On dozva dvojicu svojih učenika
All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
19 i posla ih Gospodinu da ga pitaju: “Jesi li ti Onaj koji ima doći ili drugoga da čekamo?”
So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask – “Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
20 Došavši k njemu, rekoše ti ljudi: “Ivan Krstitelj posla nas k tebi da pitamo: 'Jesi li ti Onaj koji ima doći ili drugoga da čekamo?'”
When these men found Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask – Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for somebody else?”
21 Upravo u taj čas Isus je ozdravio mnoge od bolesti, muka i zlih duhova i mnoge je slijepe podario vidom.
At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
22 Tada im odgovori: “Pođite i javite Ivanu što ste vidjeli i čuli: Slijepi progledaju, hromi hode, gubavi se čiste, gluhi čuju, mrtvi ustaju, siromasima se navješćuje evanđelje.
So his answer to the question was, “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard – the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is told to the poor.
23 I blago onom tko se ne sablazni o mene.”
And blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.”
24 Kad Ivanovi glasnici odoše, poče Isus govoriti mnoštvu o Ivanu: “Što ste izašli u pustinju gledati? Trsku koju vjetar ljulja?
When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John,
25 Ili što ste izašli vidjeti: Čovjeka u mekušaste haljine odjevena? Eno, oni u sjajnoj odjeći i raskošju po kraljevskim su dvorima.
“What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
26 Ili što ste izašli vidjeti? Proroka? Uistinu, kažem vam, i više nego proroka!
What then did you go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
27 On je onaj o kome je pisano: Evo, šaljem glasnika svoga pred licem tvojim da pripravi put pred tobom.
This is the man of whom scripture says – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’
28 Kažem vam: među rođenima od žene nitko nije veći od Ivana. A ipak, i najmanji u kraljevstvu Božjem veći je od njega.”
There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Sav narod koji ga je slušao, pa i carinici, uvidješe pravednost Božju: pokrstiše se Ivanovim krstom.
(All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax collectors, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
30 Naprotiv, farizeji i zakonoznanci ometoše što je Bog s njima naumio jer ne htjedoše da ih Ivan krsti.
But the Pharisees and the students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
31 “S kime dakle da prispodobim ljude ovog naraštaja? Komu su nalik?
“To what then,” Jesus continued, “should I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
32 Nalik su djeci što sjede na trgu pa jedni drugima po poslovici dovikuju: 'Zasvirasmo vam i ne zaigraste! Zakukasmo i ne zaplakaste!'
They are like some little children who are sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another – ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
33 Doista, došao je Ivan Krstitelj. Nije kruha jeo ni vina pio, a velite: 'Ðavla ima!'
For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
34 Došao je Sin Čovječji koji jede i pije, a govorite: 'Evo izjelice i vinopije, prijatelja carinika i grešnika!'
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts.’
35 Ali opravda se Mudrost pred svom djecom svojom.”
And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36 Neki farizej pozva Isusa da bi blagovao s njime. On uđe u kuću farizejevu i priđe stolu.
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at the table.
37 Kad eto neke žene koja bijaše grešnica u gradu. Dozna da je Isus za stolom u farizejevoj kući pa ponese alabastrenu posudicu pomasti
Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
38 i stade odostrag kod njegovih nogu. Sva zaplakana poče mu suzama kvasiti noge: kosom ih glave svoje otirala, cjelivala i mazala pomašću.
and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Kad to vidje farizej koji ga pozva, pomisli: “Kad bi ovaj bio Prorok, znao bi tko i kakva je to žena koja ga se dotiče: da je grešnica.”
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “Had this man been ‘the prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
40 A Isus, da mu odgovori, reče: “Šimune, imam ti nešto reći.” A on će: “Učitelju, reci!” A on:
But, addressing him, Jesus said, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began,
41 “Neki vjerovnik imao dva dužnika. Jedan mu dugovaše pet stotina denara, drugi pedeset.
“There were two people who were in debt to a moneylender; one owed five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.
42 Budući da nisu imali odakle vratiti, otpusti obojici. Koji će ga dakle od njih više ljubiti?”
As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
43 Šimun odgovori: “Predmnijevam, onaj kojemu je više otpustio.” Reče mu Isus: “Pravo si prosudio.”
“I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
44 I okrenut ženi reče Šimunu: “Vidiš li ovu ženu? Uđoh ti u kuću, nisi mi vodom noge polio, a ona mi suzama noge oblila i kosom ih svojom otrla.
and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house – you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 Poljupca mi nisi dao, a ona, otkako uđe, ne presta mi noge cjelivati.
You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Uljem mi glave nisi pomazao, a ona mi pomašću noge pomaza.
You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 Stoga, kažem ti, oprošteni su joj grijesi mnogi jer ljubljaše mnogo. Komu se malo oprašta, malo ljubi.”
So I tell you, her great love shows that her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned. One who is pardoned little loves little.”
48 A ženi reče: “Oprošteni su ti grijesi.”
Then he said to the woman, “Your sins have been pardoned.”
49 Sustolnici počeli nato među sobom govoriti: “Tko je ovaj da i grijehe oprašta?”
The other guests began to say to one another, “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
50 A on reče ženi: “Vjera te tvoja spasila! Idi u miru!”
But Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
