Matej 10
1 Dozva dvanaestoricu svojih učenika i dade im vlast nad nečistim dusima: da ih izgone i da liječe svaku bolest i svaku nemoć.
And when he had called his twelve disciples to him, he gave them power over evil spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and infirmity.
2 A ovo su imena dvanaestorice apostola: prvi Šimun, zvani Petar, i Andrija, brat njegov; i Jakov, sin Zebedejev, i Ivan brat njegov;
These are the names of the apostles (missionaries). First, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother; Jamesthe son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;
3 Filip i Bartolomej; Toma i Matej carinik; Jakov Alfejev i Tadej;
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew, the tax-gatherer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname is Thaddeus;
4 Šimun Kananaj i Juda Iškariotski, koji ga izda.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.
5 Tu dvanaestoricu posla Isus uputivši ih: “K poganima ne idite i ni u koji samarijski grad ne ulazite!
These men, the Twelve, Jesus sent forth, after giving them the following instructions. "Do not go among the Gentiles, or enter any Samaritan town,
6 Pođite radije k izgubljenim ovcama doma Izraelova!
"but rather be on your way to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Putom propovijedajte: 'Približilo se kraljevstvo nebesko!'
"As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
8 Bolesne liječite, mrtve uskrisujte, gubave čistite, zloduhe izgonite! Besplatno primiste, besplatno dajte!

9 Ne stječite zlata, ni srebra, ni mjedi sebi u pojase,
"Take no gold or silver or coppers in your purses;
10 ni putne torbe, ni dviju haljina, ni obuće, ni štapa. Ta vrijedan je radnik hrane svoje.”

11 “U koji god grad ili selo uđete, razvidite tko je u njemu dostojan: ondje ostanite sve dok ne odete.
"Into whatever city or town you enter, inquire for some worthy person there, and stay with him until you leave.
12 Ulazeći u kuću, zaželite joj mir.
"When you enter the house, salute it;
13 Bude li kuća dostojna, neka mir vaš siđe na nju. Ne bude li dostojna, neka se mir vaš k vama vrati.
"and if the house is worthy let your blessing sit upon it; but if it be unworthy, let your blessing return to you.
14 Gdje vas ne prime i ne poslušaju riječi vaših, iziđite iz kuće ili grada toga i prašinu otresite sa svojih nogu.
"And whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, as you go out from that house or that city, shake off the very dust from your feet.

"For it will not be you who is speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “Brat će brata predavati na smrt i otac dijete. Djeca će ustajati na roditelje i ubijati ih.

"A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his masters.

"It is enough for the pupil to fare like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more, the members of his household.
26 “Ne bojte ih se dakle. Ta ništa nije skriveno što se neće otkriti ni tajno što se neće doznati.
"So do not fear them; for there is nothing concealed which shall not be revealed, nor anything secret which shall not become known.

32 “Tko god se, dakle, prizna mojim pred ljudima, priznat ću se i ja njegovim pred Ocem, koji je na nebesima.
"Every one, then, who will confess me before men, I also will confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 A tko se odreče mene pred ljudima, odreći ću se i ja njega pred svojim Ocem, koji je na nebesima.”

35 Ta došao sam rastaviti čovjeka od oca njegova i kćer od majke njezine i snahu od svekrve njezine;
"For I came to set "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 i neprijatelji će čovjeku biti ukućani njegovi.
"and a man’s own household will be his enemies.

"He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38 Tko ne uzme svoga križa i ne pođe za mnom, nije mene dostojan.
"and he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 Tko nađe život svoj, izgubit će ga, a tko izgubi svoj život poradi mene, naći će ga.”
