Matej 18
1 U onaj čas pristupe učenici Isusu pa ga zapitaju: “Tko je, dakle, najveći u kraljevstvu nebeskom?”
At that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Then which one is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens?
2 On dozove dijete, postavi ga posred njih
And Jesus calling a little child to Him, placed it in the midst of them,
3 i reče: “Zaista, kažem vam, ako se ne obratite i ne postanete kao djeca, nećete ući u kraljevstvo nebesko.
and said, Truly I say unto you, unless you may be converted, and become as little children, you can not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
4 Tko god se dakle ponizi kao ovo dijete, taj je najveći u kraljevstvu nebeskom.
Therefore whosoever shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens;
5 I tko primi jedno ovakvo dijete u moje ime, mene prima.”
and whosoever shall receive such little child in my name, receives me.
6 “Onomu, naprotiv, tko bi sablaznio jednoga od ovih najmanjih što vjeruju u mene bilo bi bolje da mu se o vrat objesi mlinski kamen pa da potone u dubinu morsku.”
But whosoever may offend one of these little ones, who believe in me, it is good for him that a millstone may be hanged to his neck, and he may be drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 “Jao svijetu od sablazni! Neizbježivo dolaze sablazni, ali jao čovjeku po kom dolazi sablazan.
Woe unto the world on account of offensives, for it is necessary that offensives come; but woe unto that man through whom the offense comes!
8 Pa ako te ruka ili noga sablažnjava, odsijeci je i baci od sebe. Bolje ti je ući u život kljastu ili hromu, nego s obje ruke ili s obje noge biti bačen u oganj vječni. (aiōnios g166)
If thy hand or thy foot offends thee, cut them off and cast them from thee: it is good for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 I ako te oko sablažnjava, izvadi ga i baci od sebe. Bolje ti je jednooku u život ući, nego s oba oka biti bačen u pakao ognjeni.” (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye offend thee, cast it from thee: it is good for thee having one eye entering into life, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Pazite da ne prezrete ni jednoga od ovih najmanjih jer, kažem vam, anđeli njihovi na nebu uvijek gledaju lice Oca mojega, koji je na nebesima.”
See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I say unto you, that their angels in heaven do always behold the face of my Father who is in the heavens.
12 “Što vam se čini? Ako neki čovjek imadne sto ovaca i jedna od njih zaluta, neće li on ostaviti onih devedeset i devet u gorama i poći u potragu za zalutalom?
What seems to you? if there may be a hundred sheep to one man, and one of them may go astray, does he not, leaving the ninety and nine, going to the mountains, seek that which has gone astray?
13 Posreći li mu se te je nađe, zaista, kažem vam, raduje se zbog nje više nego zbog onih devedeset i devet koje nisu zalutale.
And if it maybe that he finds it, truly I say unto you, that he rejoiceth more over it than over the ninety and nine that went not astray.
14 Tako ni Otac vaš, koji je na nebesima, neće da propadne ni jedan od ovih malenih.”
So it is not the will of your Father who is in the heavens, that one of these little ones may perish.
15 “Pogriješi li tvoj brat, idi i pokaraj ga nasamo.
But if thy brother may sin, go, and convict him between thee and him alone: if he may hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother:
16 Ako te posluša, stekao si brata. Ne posluša li te, uzmi sa sobom još jednoga ili dvojicu, neka na iskazu dvojice ili trojice svjedoka počiva svaka tvrdnja.
if he may not hear thee, take with thyself one or two, in order that in the mouth of two or three witnesses the word may stand.
17 Ako ni njih ne posluša, reci Crkvi. Ako pak ni Crkve ne posluša, neka ti bude kao poganin i carinik.”
But if he may not hear them, tell the church: and if indeed he may not hear the church, let him be to thee as a heathen and publican.
18 “Zaista, kažem vam, što god svežete na zemlji, bit će svezano na nebu; i što god odriješite na zemlji, bit će odriješeno na nebu.”
Truly I say unto you, that whatsoever things you may bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever things you may loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
19 “Nadalje, kažem vam, ako dvojica od vas na zemlji jednodušno zaištu što mu drago, dat će im Otac moj, koji je na nebesima.
Again I say unto you, that if two of you may agree upon the earth concerning everything which you may ask, it shall be done unto you by my Father, who is in the heavens.
20 Jer gdje su dvojica ili trojica sabrana u moje ime, tu sam i ja među njima.”
For where two or three are assembled in my name, there I am in the midst of them.
21 Tada pristupi k njemu Petar i reče: “Gospodine, koliko puta da oprostim bratu svomu ako se ogriješi o mene? Do sedam puta?”
Then Peter, coming to Him, said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? until seven times?
22 Kaže mu Isus: “Ne kažem ti do sedam puta, nego do sedamdeset puta sedam.”
Jesus says to him, I say not unto thee, Until seven time; but Until seventy times seven.
23 “Stoga je kraljevstvo nebesko kao kad kralj odluči urediti račune sa slugama.
Therefore the kingdom of the heavens is like unto a kingly man, who wished to make a reckoning with his servants.
24 Kad započe obračunavati, dovedoše mu jednoga koji mu dugovaše deset tisuća talenata.
And he beginning to reckon, one was brought to him owing him myriads of talents.
25 Kako nije imao odakle vratiti, zapovjedi gospodar da se proda on, žena mu i djeca i sve što ima te se podmiri dug.
And he not having wherewith to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all things so many as he had, and payment to be made.
26 Nato sluga padne ničice preda nj govoreći: 'Strpljenja imaj sa mnom, i sve ću ti vratiti.'
Then that servant falling down, continued to worship him, saying, Be patient with me, and I will pay you all.
27 Gospodar se smilova tomu sluzi, otpusti ga i dug mu oprosti.”
The lord of that servant, being moved with compassion, sent him away, and forgave him the debt.
28 “A kad taj isti sluga izađe, naiđe na jednoga svoga druga koji mu dugovaše sto denara. Uhvati ga i stane ga daviti govoreći: 'Vrati što si dužan!'
And that servant having gone out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him one hundred denaria: seized him, throttled him, saying, Pay me what you owe me.
29 Drug padne preda nj i stane ga zaklinjati: 'Strpljenja imaj sa mnom i vratit ću ti.'
Then his fellow-servant falling down, continued to intreat him, saying, Be patient with me and I will pay thee.
30 Ali on ne htjede, nego ode i baci ga u tamnicu dok mu ne vrati duga.”
And he was not willing: but having gone away he cast him into prison, until he could pay that which was owing.
31 “Kad njegovi drugovi vidješe što se dogodilo, silno ražalošćeni odoše i sve to dojaviše gospodaru.
Then his fellow-servants seeing those things which had taken place, were grieved exceedingly, and coming related to their lord all the things which transpired.
32 Tada ga gospodar dozva i reče mu: 'Slugo opaki, sav sam ti onaj dug oprostio jer si me zamolio.
Then his lord calling him says to him, Thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, since thou didst intreat me:
33 Nije li trebalo da se i ti smiluješ svome drugu, kao što sam se i ja tebi smilovao?'
did it not behoove thee also to have mercy on thy fellow-servant, as I had mercy on thee?
34 I gospodar ga, rasrđen, preda mučiteljima dok mu ne vrati svega duga.
And his lord being angry delivered him to the tormenters, until he should pay all that was due him.
35 Tako će i Otac moj nebeski učiniti s vama ako svatko od srca ne oprosti svomu bratu.”
Thus my Heavenly Father will also do unto you, if you do not forgive each one his brother from your hearts.
