< Marko 2 >

1 I pošto nakon nekoliko dana opet uđe u Kafarnaum, pročulo se da je u kući.
Some days later when Jesus entered Capernaum again the news spread, "He is in the house";
2 I skupiše se mnogi te više nije bilo mjesta ni pred vratima. On im navješćivaše Riječ.
and at once such a crowd gathered that there was no longer room for them, even around the door.
3 I dođu noseći k njemu uzetoga. Nosila ga četvorica.
While he was speaking his message, they came bringing to him a paralytic, carried by four men.
4 Budući da ga zbog mnoštva nisu mogli unijeti k njemu, otkriju krov nad mjestom gdje bijaše Isus. Načinivši otvor, spuste postelju na kojoj je uzeti ležao.
When they could not get him near to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof under which he stood, and after making an opening, they let down the cot on which the paralytic was lying.
5 Vidjevši njihovu vjeru, kaže Isus uzetome: “Sinko! Otpuštaju ti se grijesi.”
Then Jesus, when he perceived their faith, said to the paralytic, "Son your sins are forgiven."
6 Sjedjeli su ondje neki pismoznanci koji počeše mudrovati u sebi:
But there were some Scribes sitting there who reasoned in their hearts.
7 “Što to ovaj govori? Huli! Ta tko može grijehe otpuštati doli Bog jedini?”
"Why does this man speak like this? He blasphemes. Who is able to forgive sins but One, God himself?"
8 Isus duhom odmah proniknu da tako mudruju u sebi, pa će im: “Što to mudrujete u sebi?
Jesus clearly perceived at once be the Spirit that they were thus reasoning in their hearts and said to them.
9 Ta što je lakše? Reći uzetomu: 'Otpuštaju ti se grijesi' ili reći: 'Ustani, uzmi svoju postelju i hodi?'
"Why do you reason thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your cot and walk’?
10 Ali da znate: vlastan je Sin Čovječji na zemlji otpuštati grijehe!” I reče uzetomu:
But to let you see that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" -he said to the paralytic-
11 “Tebi zapovijedam, ustani, uzmi postelju i pođi kući!”
"I bid you rise, take up your cot, and go home."
12 I on usta, uze odmah postelju i iziđe na očigled svima. Svi su zaneseni slavili Boga govoreći: “Takvo što nikad još ne vidjesmo!”
The man rose, at once took up his cot, and went out before them all; at which they were all astounded, and gave God glory, saying, "We never saw anything like this."
13 Isus ponovno iziđe k moru. Sve je ono mnoštvo grnulo k njemu i on ih poučavaše.
Then Jesus went again to the seaside, and the whole crowd kept coming to him, and he taught them.
14 Prolazeći ugleda Levija Alfejeva gdje sjedi u carinarnici. I kaže mu: “Pođi za mnom!” On usta i pođe za njim.
As he was passing by he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, sitting in the tax-office; and he said to him, "Follow me." So he rose and followed him.
15 Kada zatim Isus bijaše za stolom u njegovoj kući, nađoše se za stolom s njime i njegovim učenicima i mnogi carinici i grešnici. Bilo ih je uistinu mnogo. A slijedili su ga
Later on Levi was sitting at table in his house, and together with Jesus and his disciples a number of tax-gatherers and sinners were guests, for there were many of them who used to follow him.
16 i pismoznanci farizejske sljedbe pa vidjevši da jede s grešnicima i carinicima rekoše njegovim učenicima: “Zašto jede s carinicima i grešnicima?”
But when some scribes of the Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they said to his disciples, "Is he eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?"
17 Čuvši to, Isus im reče: “Ne treba zdravima liječnika, nego bolesnima! Ne dođoh zvati pravednike, nego grešnike.”
On hearing this Jesus said to them. "It is not the healthy who need a physician, but the sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."
18 Ivanovi su učenici i farizeji postili. I dođu neki i kažu mu: “Zašto učenici Ivanovi i učenici farizejski poste, a tvoji učenici ne poste?”
Now the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees were keeping a fast, and people came to ask him, "How is it that the disciples of Johnand the Pharisees are fasting, but your disciples are not?"
19 Nato im Isus reče: “Mogu li svatovi postiti dok je zaručnik s njima? Dokle god imaju zaručnika sa sobom, ne mogu postiti.
"Can friends of the bridegroom fast while he is still with them?" asked Jesus. "As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
20 Doći će već dani kad će im se ugrabiti zaručnik i tada će postiti u onaj dan!”
But the days will come when the Bridegroom will be taken away from them; then, on that day, they will fast.
21 “Nitko ne prišiva krpe od sirova sukna na staro odijelo. Inače nova zakrpa vuče sa starog odijela pa nastane još veća rupa.”
No one ever sews a piece of unshrunk cloth onto an old garment, otherwise the patch tears away from it - the new from the old - and a worse tear is made.
22 “I nitko ne ulijeva novo vino u stare mješine. Inače će vino poderati mješine pa propade i vino i mješine. Nego - novo vino u nove mješine!”
And no one ever pours new wine into old wine-skins, else the wine would burst the skins, and both wine and skins would be lost. New wine is poured into fresh wine-skins.
23 Jedne je subote prolazio kroz usjeve. Njegovi učenici počeše putem trgati klasje. A farizeji mu rekoše:
One Sabbath he was walking along through the wheat-fields, and his disciples, as they began to make their way across, were pulling the heads of wheat.
24 “Gle! Zašto čine što subotom nije dopušteno?”
"Look," said the Pharisees to him, "Why are they doing on the Sabbath Day what is against the law?"
25 Isus im odgovori: “Zar nikad niste čitali što učini David kad ogladnje te se nađe u potrebi on i njegovi pratioci?
He answered them. "Have you never read what David did when he was needy and hungry, he and his men?
26 Kako za velikog svećenika Ebjatara uđe u Dom Božji i pojede prinesene kruhove kojih ne smije jesti nitko osim svećenika; a on dade i svojim pratiocima?”
How he went into the house of God when Abiathar was priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which none but priests may eat, and gave some to his men?
27 I govoraše im: “Subota je stvorena radi čovjeka, a ne čovjek radi subote.
"The Sabbath," he told them, "was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath;
28 Tako, Sin Čovječji gospodar je subote!”
so the Son of man is Master even of the Sabbath."
