Marko 12
1 I uze im zboriti u prispodobama: Čovjek vinograd posadi, ogradom ogradi, iskopa tijesak i kulu podiže pa ga iznajmi vinogradarima i otputova.
Jesus began to speak to them in parables, ‘A man once planted a vineyard, put a fence round it, dug a wine-press, built a tower, and then let it out to tenants and went abroad.
2 I u svoje vrijeme posla vinogradarima slugu da od njih uzme dio uroda vinogradarskoga.
At the proper time he sent a servant to the tenants, to receive from them a share of the produce of the grape harvest;
3 A oni ga pograbiše, istukoše i otposlaše praznih ruku.
but they seized him, and beat him, and sent him away empty-handed.
4 I opet posla k njima drugog slugu: i njemu razbiše glavu i izružiše ga.
A second time the owner sent a servant to them; this man, too, the tenants struck on the head, and insulted.
5 Trećega također posla: njega ubiše. Tako i mnoge druge: jedne istukoše, druge pobiše.”
He sent another, but him they killed; and so with many others – some they beat and some they killed.
6 “Još jednoga imaše, sina ljubljenoga. Njega naposljetku posla k njima misleći: 'Poštovat će sina moga.'
He had still one son, who was very dear to him; and him he sent to them last of all. “They will respect my son,” he said.
7 Ali ti vinogradari među sobom rekoše: 'Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i baština će biti naša.'
But those tenants said to one another “Here is the heir! Come, let us kill him, and his inheritance will be ours.”
8 I pograbe ga, ubiju i izbace iz vinograda.”
So they seized him, and killed him, and threw his body outside the vineyard.
9 “Što li će učiniti gospodar vinograda? Doći će i pobiti te vinogradare i dati vinograd drugima.
What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and put the tenants to death, and he will let the vineyard to others.
10 Niste li čitali ovo Pismo: Kamen što ga odbaciše graditelji, postade kamen zaglavni.
‘Have you never read this passage of scripture? – “The stone which the builders despised has now itself become the cornerstone;
11 Gospodnje je to djelo - kakvo čudo u očima našim!”
this cornerstone has come from the Lord, and is marvellous in our eyes.”’
12 I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva. Razumješe da je protiv njih izrekao prispodobu pa ga ostave i odu.
After this his enemies were eager to arrest him, but they were afraid of the crowd; for they saw that it was at them that he had aimed the parable. So they left him alone, and went away.
13 I pošalju k njemu neke od farizeja i herodovaca da ga uhvate u riječi.
Afterwards they sent to Jesus some of the Pharisees and Herodians, to set a trap for him in the course of conversation.
14 Oni dođu i kažu mu: “Učitelju, znamo da si istinit i ne mariš tko je tko jer nisi pristran, nego po istini učiš putu Božjemu. Je li dopušteno dati porez caru ili nije? Da damo ili da ne damo?”
These men came to him and said, ‘Teacher, we know that you are an honest man, and are not afraid of anyone, for you pay no regard to a person’s position, but teach the way of God honestly; are we right in paying taxes to the Emperor, or not?
15 A on im reče prozirući njihovo licemjerje: “Što me iskušavate? Donesite mi denar da vidim!”
Should we pay, or should we not pay?’ Knowing their hypocrisy, Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you testing me? Bring me a coin to look at.’
16 Oni doniješe. I reče im: “Čija je ovo slika i natpis?” A oni će mu: “Carev.”
And, when they had brought it, he asked, ‘Whose head and title are these?’ ‘The Emperor’s,’ they said;
17 A Isus im reče: “Caru podajte carevo, a Bogu Božje!” I divili su mu se.
and Jesus replied, ‘Pay to the Emperor what belongs to the Emperor, and to God what belongs to God.’ And they were amazed at him.
18 Dođu k njemu saduceji, koji vele da nema uskrsnuća, i upitaju ga:
Next came some Sadducees – the men who maintain that there is no resurrection. Their question was this –
19 “Učitelju, Mojsije nam napisa: Umre li čiji brat i ostavi ženu, a ne ostavi djeteta, neka njegov brat uzme tu ženu te podigne porod bratu svomu.
‘Teacher, in our scriptures Moses decreed that, should a man’s brother die, leaving a widow but no child, the man should take the widow as his wife, and raise up a family for his brother.
20 Sedmero braće bijaše. Prvi uze ženu i umrije ne ostavivši poroda.
There were once seven brothers. The eldest married, but died and left no family;
21 I drugi je uze te umrije ne ostavivši poroda. I treći jednako tako.
and the second married his widow, and died without family; and so did the third.
22 I sedmorica ne ostaviše poroda. Najposlije i žena umrije.
All the seven died and left no family. The woman herself died last of all.
23 Komu će biti žena o uskrsnuću, kad uskrsnu? Jer sedmorica su je imala za ženu.”
At the resurrection whose wife will she be, all seven brothers having had her as their wife?’
24 Reče im Isus: “Niste li u zabludi zbog toga što ne razumijete Pisama ni sile Božje?
‘Is not the reason of your mistake,’ answered Jesus, ‘your ignorance of the scriptures and of the power of God?
25 Ta kad od mrtvih ustaju, niti se žene niti udavaju, nego su kao anđeli na nebesima.
When people rise from the dead, there is no marrying or being married; but they are as angels in heaven.
26 A što se tiče mrtvih, da ustaju, niste li čitali u knjizi Mojsijevoj ono o grmu, kako Mojsiju reče Bog: Ja sam Bog Abrahamov i Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev?
‘As to the dead, and the fact that they rise, have you never read in the book of Moses, in the passage about the Bush, how God spoke to him saying – “I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob”?
27 Nije on Bog mrtvih, nego živih. Uvelike se varate.”
He is not God of dead people, but of living. You are greatly mistaken.’
28 Tada pristupi jedan od pismoznanaca koji je slušao njihovu raspravu. Vidjevši da im je dobro odgovorio, upita ga: “Koja je zapovijed prva od sviju?”
Then came up one of the teachers of the Law who had heard their discussions. Knowing that Jesus had answered them wisely, he asked him this question, ‘Which commandment is the most important of all?’
29 Isus odgovori: “Prva je: Slušaj, Izraele! Gospodin Bog naš Gospodin je jedini.
‘The most important,’ answered Jesus, ‘is – “Hear, Israel; the Lord our God is the one Lord;
30 Zato ljubi Gospodina Boga svojega iz svega srca svojega, i iz sve duše svoje, i iz svega uma svoga, i iz sve snage svoje!”
and you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.”
31 “Druga je: Ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga. Nema druge zapovijedi veće od tih.”
The second is this – “You must love your neighbour as you love yourself.” There is no commandment greater than these.’
32 Nato će mu pismoznanac: “Dobro, učitelju! Po istini si kazao: On je jedini, nema drugoga osim njega.
‘Wisely answered, teacher!’ exclaimed the teacher of the Law. ‘It is true, as you say, that there is one God, and that there is no other besides him;
33 Njega ljubiti iz svega srca, iz svega razuma i iz sve snage i ljubiti bližnjega kao sebe samoga - više je nego sve paljenice i žrtve.”
and to love him with all one’s heart, and with all one’s understanding, and with all one’s strength, and to love one’s neighbour as one loves oneself is far beyond all burnt offerings and sacrifices.’
34 Kad Isus vidje kako je pametno odgovorio, reče mu: “Nisi daleko od kraljevstva Božjega!” I nitko se više nije usuđivao pitati ga.
Seeing that he had answered with discernment, Jesus said to him, ‘You are not far from the kingdom of God.’ After that no one ventured to question him further.
35 A naučavajući u Hramu, uze Isus govoriti: “Kako pismoznanci kažu da je Krist sin Davidov?
While Jesus was teaching in the Temple Courts, he asked, ‘How is it that the teachers of the Law say that the Christ is to be David’s son?
36 A sam David reče u Duhu Svetome: Reče Gospod Gospodinu mojemu: 'Sjedni mi zdesna dok ne položim neprijatelje tvoje za podnožje nogama tvojim!'
David said himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit – “The Lord said to my lord: Sit at my right hand, until I put your enemies beneath your feet.”
37 Sam ga David zove Gospodinom. Kako mu je onda sin?” Silan ga je svijet s užitkom slušao.
David himself calls him “lord,” how comes it, then, that he is to be his son?’ The mass of the people listened to Jesus with delight.
38 A on im u pouci svojoj govoraše: “Čuvajte se pismoznanaca, koji rado idu u dugim haljinama, vole pozdrave na trgovima,
In the course of his teaching, Jesus said, ‘See that you are on your guard against the teachers of the Law, who delight to walk about in long robes, and to be greeted in the streets with respect,
39 prva sjedala u sinagogama i pročelja na gozbama;
and to have the best seats in the synagogues, and places of honour at dinner.
40 proždiru kuće udovičke, još pod izlikom dugih molitava. Stići će ih to oštrija osuda!”
They are the men who rob widows of their homes, and make a pretence of saying long prayers. Their sentence will be all the heavier.’
41 Potom sjede nasuprot riznici te promatraše kako narod baca sitniš u riznicu. Mnogi bogataši bacahu mnogo.
Then Jesus sat down opposite the chests for the Temple offerings, and watched how the people put money into them. Many rich people were putting in large sums;
42 Dođe i neka siromašna udovica i baci dva novčića, to jest jedan kvadrant.
but one poor widow came and put in two small coins, worth very little.
43 Tada dozove svoje učenike i reče im: “Doista, kažem vam, ova je sirota udovica ubacila više od svih koji ubacuju u riznicu.
Then, calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, ‘I tell you that this poor widow has put in more than all the others who were putting money into the chests;
44 Svi su oni zapravo ubacili od svoga suviška, a ona je od svoje sirotinje ubacila sve što je imala, sav svoj žitak.”
for everyone else put in something from what he had to spare, while she, in her need, put in all she had – everything that she had to live on.’
