Luka 8
1 Zatim zareda obilaziti gradom i selom propovijedajući i navješćujući evanđelje o kraljevstvu Božjemu. Bila su s njim dvanaestorica
Soon after this Jesus went around the towns and villages announcing the good news of God's kingdom. The twelve disciples went with him,
2 i neke žene koje bijahu izliječene od zlih duhova i bolesti: Marija zvana Magdalena, iz koje bijaše izagnao sedam đavola;
along with a number of women who had been healed from evil spirits and sickness: Mary called Magdalene from whom he had cast out seven demons;
3 zatim Ivana, žena Herodova upravitelja Huze; Suzana i mnoge druge. One su im posluživale od svojih dobara.
Joanna, the wife of Herod's manager Chuza; Susanna; and many more who provided support from their personal resources.
4 Kad se skupio silan svijet te iz svakoga grada nagrnuše k njemu, prozbori u prispodobi:
Once when a large crowd of people gathered, coming from many towns to see him, Jesus spoke to them, using a story as an illustration.
5 “Iziđe sijač sijati sjeme. Dok je sijao, jedno pade uz put, bi pogaženo i ptice ga nebeske pozobaše.
“A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he scattered the seed, some fell on the road where people trampled on it and birds ate it up.
6 Drugo pade na kamen i, tek što je izniklo, osuši se jer ne imaše vlage.
Some fell on stony ground, and once the seeds had sprouted they withered for lack of moisture.
7 Drugo opet pade među trnje i trnje ga preraste i uguši.
Some seeds fell among thorns and as they both grew the thorns choked the plants.
8 Drugo napokon pade u dobru zemlju, nikne i urodi stostrukim plodom.” Rekavši to, povika: “Tko ima uši da čuje, neka čuje!”
Some seeds fell on good earth and after they grew they produced a harvest one hundred times more than what had been sown.” After he told them this, he called out, “If you have ears, then listen!”
9 Upitaše ga učenici kakva bi to bila prispodoba.
But his disciples asked him, “What does this illustration mean?”
10 A on im reče: “Vama je dano znati otajstva kraljevstva Božjega, a ostalima u prispodobama - da gledajući ne vide i slušajući ne razumiju.”
Jesus replied, “You've been given insights into the mysteries of God's kingdom, but the rest are given illustrations, so that, ‘Even though they see, they don't really see; and even though they hear, they don't really understand.’
11 “A ovo je prispodoba: Sjeme je Riječ Božja.
This is the meaning of the illustration: The seed is God's word.
12 Oni uz put slušatelji su. Zatim dolazi đavao i odnosi Riječ iz srca njihova da ne bi povjerovali i spasili se.
The seeds that fall on the road are those who hear the message, but then the devil comes and steals away the truth from their minds so they won't trust in God and be saved.
13 A na kamenu - to su oni koji kad čuju, s radošću prime Riječ, ali korijena nemaju: ti neko vrijeme vjeruju, a u vrijeme kušnje otpadnu.
The seeds that fall on the stony ground are those who hear and welcome the message with joy but don't have any roots. They trust for a while but when difficult times come they give up.
14 A što pade u trnje - to su oni koji poslušaju, ali poneseni brigama, bogatstvom i nasladama života, uguše se i ne dorode roda.
The seeds that fall among thorns are those who hear the message but it's choked out by life's distractions—worries, wealth, pleasure—so they don't produce anything.
15 Ono pak u dobroj zemlji - to su oni koji u plemenitu i dobru srcu slušaju Riječ, zadrže je i donose rod u ustrajnosti.”
The seeds sown on good earth are those who are honest and do what is right. They hear the message of truth, hold on to it, and through their perseverance produce a good harvest.
16 “Nitko ne užiže svjetiljke da je pokrije posudom ili stavi pod postelju, nego je stavlja na svijećnjak da oni koji ulaze vide svjetlost.
You don't light a lamp and then cover it with a bucket, or hide it under a bed. No, you put it on a stand, so that anyone who comes in can see the light.
17 Ta ništa nije tajno što se neće očitovati; ništa skriveno što se neće saznati i na vidjelo doći.”
For there's nothing hidden that won't be revealed; there's nothing secret that won't become known and obvious.
18 “Pazite dakle kako slušate. Doista, onomu tko ima dat će se, a onomu tko nema oduzet će se i ono što misli da ima.”
So pay attention how you ‘hear.’ To those who have received, more will be given; from those who don't receive, even what they think they have will be taken away!”
19 A majka i braća njegova htjedoše k njemu, ali ne mogoše do njega zbog mnoštva.
Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived, but they couldn't get through the crowd to see him.
20 Javiše mu: “Majka tvoja i braća tvoja stoje vani i žele te vidjeti.”
Jesus was told, “Your mother and your brothers are outside. They want to see you.”
21 A on im odgovori: “Majka moja, braća moja - ovi su koji riječ Božju slušaju i vrše.”
“My mother and my brothers are those who hear God's word, and do what it says,” Jesus replied.
22 Jednoga dana uđe u lađu on i učenici njegovi. I reče im: “Prijeđimo na onu stranu jezera.” I otisnuše se.
One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let's cross over to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and set off.
23 Dok su plovili, on zaspa. I spusti se oluja na jezero. Voda stane nadirati te bijahu u pogibli.
As they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep, and a storm came down on the lake. The boat began filling with water and they were in danger of sinking.
24 Oni pristupiše i probudiše ga govoreći: “Učitelju, učitelju, propadosmo!” On se probudi, zaprijeti vjetru i valovlju; i oni se smire te nasta utiha.
They went over to Jesus and woke him up. “Master, master, we're going to drown!” they said. Jesus woke up and commanded the wind and the rough waves to stop. They stopped, and all was calm.
25 A on će im: “Gdje vam je vjera?” A oni se prestrašeni u čudu zapitkivahu: “Tko li je ovaj da i vjetrovima zapovijeda i vodi, i pokoravaju mu se?”
“Where is your trust?” he asked them. Terrified and amazed, they said to each other, “So who is this? He gives commands to the winds and the water, and they obey him!”
26 Doploviše u gergezenski kraj koji je nasuprot Galileji.
They sailed across to the Gerasene region that lies opposite Galilee.
27 Čim iziđe na kopno, eto mu iz grada u susret nekog čovjeka koji imaše zloduhe. Već dugo vremena nije se uopće odijevao niti stanovao u kući, nego po grobnicama.
When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, a demon-possessed man from the town came to meet him. For a long time he hadn't worn any clothes or lived in a house. He lived in the tombs.
28 Kad opazi Isusa, zastenja, pade ničice preda nj i u sav glas povika: “Što ti imaš sa mnom, Isuse, Sine Boga Svevišnjega? Molim te, ne muči me!”
When he saw Jesus he screamed, fell down at Jesus' feet, and asked in a loud voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please don't torture me, I beg you!”
29 Jer bijaše zapovjedio nečistom duhu da iziđe iz toga čovjeka. Da, dugo ga je već vremena držao u vlasti i makar su ga lancima vezali i u verigama čuvali, on bi raskidao spone i zloduh bi ga odagnao u pustinju.
For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to leave the man. It had often seized him, and despite being tied down with chains and shackles, and placed under guard, he would break the chains apart and would be driven by the demon into the desert areas.
30 Isus ga nato upita: “Kako ti je ime?” On reče: “Legija”, jer u nj uđoše mnogi zlodusi.
“What is your name?” Jesus asked him. “Legion,” he replied, for many demons had entered him.
They begged Jesus not to order them to go into the Abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 A ondje u gori paslo je poveliko krdo svinja. Zaklinjahu ga dakle da im dopusti ući u njih. I on im dopusti.
There was a large herd of pigs feeding on the nearby hillside, and the demons begged him to be allowed to go into the pigs. Jesus gave them permission,
33 Tada zlodusi iziđoše iz čovjeka i uđoše u svinje. Krdo jurnu niz obronak u jezero i podavi se.
so the demons left the man and entered the pigs. The herd rushed down the steep slope into the lake and drowned.
34 Vidjevši što se dogodilo, svinjari pobjegoše i razglasiše gradom i selima.
When the pig-keepers saw what had happened they ran off and spread the news through the town and the countryside.
35 A ljudi iziđoše vidjeti što se dogodilo. Dođoše Isusu i nađoše čovjeka iz kojega bijahu izašli zlodusi gdje do nogu Isusovih sjedi, obučen i zdrave pameti. I prestraše se.
The people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus they found the man freed from the demons. He was sitting there at Jesus' feet, wearing clothes and in his right mind; and they became scared.
36 A očevici im ispripovijediše kako je opsjednuti ozdravio.
Those who had seen what happened explained how the demon-possessed man had been healed.
37 I zamoli ga sve ono mnoštvo iz okolice gergezenske da ode od njih jer ih strah velik spopade. On uđe u lađu i vrati se.
Then all the people from the Gerasene region asked Jesus to leave because they were overwhelmed by fear. So he got into the boat and went back.
38 A moljaše ga čovjek iz koga iziđoše zlodusi da može ostati s njim, ali ga on otpusti govoreći:
The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away.
39 “Vrati se kući i pripovijedaj što ti učini Bog.” On ode razglašujući po svem gradu što mu učini Isus.
“Go back home, and tell people all that God has done for you,” Jesus told him. So he went away, telling the whole town all that Jesus had done for him.
40 Na povratku Isusa dočeka mnoštvo jer su ga svi željno iščekivali.
A crowd of people was there to welcome Jesus when he returned, all eagerly expecting him.
41 I gle, dođe čovjek, ime mu Jair, koji bijaše predstojnik sinagoge. Baci se Isusu pred noge i stane ga moliti da dođe u njegovu kuću.
One was a man called Jairus, a synagogue leader, who came and fell at Jesus' feet. He pleaded with Jesus to come to his home
42 Imaše kćer jedinicu, otprilike od dvanaest godina, koja umiraše. Dok je onamo išao, mnoštvo ga guralo odasvud.
because his only daughter was dying. She was about twelve years old. While Jesus was on his way there, people were crowding around him.
43 A neka žena koja je već dvanaest godina bolovala od krvarenja, sve svoje imanje potrošila na liječnike i nitko je nije mogao izliječiti,
In the crowd was a woman who had suffered with bleeding for twelve years. She had spent all she had on doctors, but none of them had been able to help her.
44 priđe odostrag i dotaknu se skuta njegove haljine i umah joj se zaustavi krvarenje.
She approached Jesus from behind and touched the hem of his cloak. Immediately the bleeding stopped.
45 I reče Isus: “Tko me se to dotaknu?” Svi se branili, a Petar će: “Učitelju, mnoštvo te gura i pritišće.”
“Who touched me?” Jesus asked. Everybody around denied doing so. “But Master,” said Peter, “there are people crowding around you, and they keep pushing up against you.”
46 A Isus: “Netko me se dotaknuo. Osjetio sam kako snaga izlazi iz mene.”
“Someone touched me,” Jesus replied. “I know because power went out from me.”
47 A žena, vidjevši da se ne može kriti, sva u strahu pristupi i baci se preda nj te pred svim narodom ispripovjedi zašto ga se dotakla i kako je umah ozdravila.
When the woman realized she couldn't go unnoticed, she came forward, trembling, and fell down before him. Right in front of everybody she explained the reason why she had touched Jesus, and that she'd been cured immediately.
48 A on joj reče: “Kćeri, vjera te tvoja spasila. Idi u miru!”
Jesus said to her, “Daughter, your trust has healed you, go in peace.”
49 Dok je on još govorio, eto jednog od nadstojnikovih s porukom: “Umrla ti kći, ne muči više Učitelja.”
While he was still speaking, someone came from the home of the synagogue leader to tell him, “Your daughter's dead. You don't need to bother the Teacher any longer.”
50 Čuo to Isus pa mu reče: “Ne boj se! Samo vjeruj i ona će se spasiti!”
But when he heard this, Jesus told Jairus, “Don't be afraid. If you trust, she will be healed.”
51 Uđe u kuću, ali nikomu ne dopusti da s njim uđe osim Petra, Ivana, Jakova i djetetova oca i majke.
When Jesus arrived at the house he didn't allow anyone else to go in except Peter, John, and James, and the girl's father and mother.
52 A svi plakahu i žalovahu za njom. A on im reče: “Ne plačite! Nije umrla, nego spava!”
All the people there were crying and mourning for her. “Don't cry,” Jesus told them. “She's not dead, she's just sleeping.”
53 No oni mu se podsmjehivahu znajući da je umrla.
They laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead.
54 On je uhvati za ruku i povika: “Dijete, ustani!”
But Jesus took her by the hand, and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”
55 I povrati joj se duh i umah ustade, a on naredi da joj dadu jesti.
She came back to life, and she got up at once. Jesus told them to give her something to eat.
56 Njezini se roditelji začudiše, a on zapovjedi da nikome ne reknu što se dogodilo.
Her parents were astonished at what had happened, but Jesus instructed them not to tell anyone about it.
