Marko 13
1 Kad je izlazio iz Hrama, rekne mu jedan od njegovih učenika: “Učitelju, gledaj! Kakva li kamenja, kakvih li zdanja!”
While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
2 Isus mu odvrati: “Vidiš li ta veličanstvena zdanja? Ne, neće se ostaviti ni kamen na kamenu nerazvaljen.”
Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
3 Dok je zatim na Maslinskoj gori sjedio sučelice Hramu, upitaju ga nasamo Petar, Jakov, Ivan i Andrija:
After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
4 “Reci nam kada će to biti i na koji se znak sve to ima svršiti?”
“Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
5 Tada im Isus poče govoriti: “Pazite da vas tko ne zavede.
Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
6 Mnogi će doći u moje ime i govoriti: Ja sam! I mnoge će zavesti.
Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
7 Kada pak čujete za ratove i za glasove o ratovima, ne uznemirujte se. Treba da se to dogodi, ali to još nije svršetak.”
Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
8 “Narod će ustati protiv naroda, kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva. Bit će potresa po raznim mjestima, bit će gladi. To je početak trudova.”
[Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
9 “Vi pak pazite sami na sebe. Predavat će vas vijećima i tući vas u sinagogama, pred upraviteljima i kraljevima stajat ćete zbog mene, njima za svjedočanstvo.
Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
10 A treba da se najprije svim narodima propovijeda evanđelje.”
My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
11 “Kad vas budu vodili na izručenje, ne brinite se unaprijed što ćete govoriti, nego govorite što vam bude dano u onaj čas. Ta niste vi koji govorite, nego Duh Sveti.
And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
12 Predavat će na smrt brat brata i otac sina. Djeca će ustajati na roditelje i ubijati ih.
[Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
13 Svi će vas zamrziti zbog imena moga. Ali tko ustraje do svršetka, bit će spašen.”
[In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
14 “I kad vidite da grozota pustoši stoluje gdje joj nije mjesto - tko čita, neka razumije - koji se tada zateknu u Judeji, neka bježe u gore!
[During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
15 Tko bude na krovu, neka ne silazi i ne ulazi u kuću da iz nje što uzme.
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
16 I tko bude u polju, neka se ne okreće natrag da uzme ogrtač!”
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 “Jao trudnicama i dojiljama u one dane!
But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
18 A molite da to ne bude zimi
In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
19 jer će onih dana biti tjeskoba kakve ne bi od početka stvorenja, koje stvori Bog, sve do sada, a neće je ni biti.
20 I kad Gospodin ne bi skratio dane one, nitko se ne bi spasio. No poradi izabranih, koje on sebi izabra, skratio je on te dane.”
If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
21 Ako vam tada tko rekne: 'Evo Krista ovdje! Eno ondje!' - ne vjerujte.
[At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
22 Ustat će doista lažni kristi i lažni proroci i tvorit će znamenja i čudesa da, bude li moguće, zavedu izabrane.
23 Vi dakle budite na oprezu! Evo, prorekao sam vam sve!”
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 Nego, u one dane, nakon one nevolje, sunce će pomrčati i mjesec neće više svijetljeti
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
25 a zvijezde će s neba padati i sile će se nebeske poljuljati.
the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
26 Tada će ugledati Sina Čovječjega gdje dolazi na oblacima s velikom moći i slavom.
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
27 I razaslat će anđele i sabrati svoje izabranike s četiri vjetra, s kraja zemlje do na kraj neba.”
Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
28 A od smokve se naučite prispodobi! Kad joj grana već omekša i lišće potjera, znate: ljeto je blizu.
Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
29 Tako i vi kad vidite da se to zbiva, znajte: blizu je, na vratima!
Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
30 Zaista, kažem vam, ne, neće uminuti naraštaj ovaj dok se sve to ne zbude.
Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
31 Nebo će i zemlja uminuti, ali riječi moje ne, neće uminuti.”
You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
32 “A o onom danu i času nitko ne zna, pa ni anđeli na nebu, ni Sin, nego samo Otac.”
But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
33 “Pazite! Bdijte jer ne znate kada je čas.
So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
34 Kao kad ono čovjek neki polazeći na put ostavi svoju kuću, upravu povjeri slugama, svakomu svoj posao, a vrataru zapovjedi da bdije.
When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
35 Bdijte, dakle, jer ne znate kad će se domaćin vratiti - da li uvečer ili o ponoći, da li za prvih pijetlova ili ujutro -
[That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
36 da vas ne bi našao pozaspale ako iznenada dođe.”
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 “Što vama kažem, svima kažem: Bdijte!”
These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
