Matej 18
1 U onaj čas pristupe učenici Isusu pa ga zapitaju: “Tko je, dakle, najveći u kraljevstvu nebeskom?”
In that hour the disciples came to Jesus and said, “Who is greater in the kingdom of heaven?”
2 On dozove dijete, postavi ga posred njih
So Jesus called over a little child, placed him among 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 to you, unless you change and become like little children, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
4 Tko god se dakle ponizi kao ovo dijete, taj je najveći u kraljevstvu nebeskom.
Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is greater in the kingdom of heaven.
5 I tko primi jedno ovakvo dijete u moje ime, mene prima.”
And whoever receives one little child such as this 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 if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
7 “Jao svijetu od sablazni! Neizbježivo dolaze sablazni, ali jao čovjeku po kom dolazi sablazan.
“Woe to the world because of stumbling blocks! It is necessary that stumbling blocks come, yet woe to that man through whom the stumbling block 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 yoʋr hand or yoʋr foot causes yoʋ to stumble, cut them off and throw them away from yoʋ. It is better for yoʋ to enter life lame or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into the 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 yoʋr eye causes yoʋ to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from yoʋ. It is better for yoʋ to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fires of hell. (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.”
“Be careful not to despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of my Father in heaven.
For the Son of Man came to save the lost.
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 do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the other ninety-nine and go seek on the mountains the one that 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 he happens to find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
14 Tako ni Otac vaš, koji je na nebesima, neće da propadne ni jedan od ovih malenih.”
In the same way, it is not the will of your Father in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
15 “Pogriješi li tvoj brat, idi i pokaraj ga nasamo.
“If yoʋr brother sins against yoʋ, go show him his fault between yoʋ and him alone. If he listens to yoʋ, yoʋ have gained yoʋr 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.
But if he does not listen, take one or two others with yoʋ, so that every matter may be established by the mouth of two or three witnesses.
17 Ako ni njih ne posluša, reci Crkvi. Ako pak ni Crkve ne posluša, neka ti bude kao poganin i carinik.”
If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
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 to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will 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, truly I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven.
20 Jer gdje su dvojica ili trojica sabrana u moje ime, tu sam i ja među njima.”
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, I am there among 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 came to Jesus and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother when he keeps sinning against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Kaže mu Isus: “Ne kažem ti do sedam puta, nego do sedamdeset puta sedam.”
Jesus said to him, “Not, I tell yoʋ, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.
23 “Stoga je kraljevstvo nebesko kao kad kralj odluči urediti račune sa slugama.
“For this reason the kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who wished to settle accounts with his servants.
24 Kad započe obračunavati, dovedoše mu jednoga koji mu dugovaše deset tisuća talenata.
As he began to settle accounts, one servant who had a debt of ten thousand talents was brought to him.
25 Kako nije imao odakle vratiti, zapovjedi gospodar da se proda on, žena mu i djeca i sve što ima te se podmiri dug.
But since he did not have anything with which to repay the debt, his master commanded him to be sold along with his wife, his children, and all that he had, so that the debt could be repaid.
26 Nato sluga padne ničice preda nj govoreći: 'Strpljenja imaj sa mnom, i sve ću ti vratiti.'
So the servant fell down and bowed before him, saying, ‘Master, be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ all that I owe.’
27 Gospodar se smilova tomu sluzi, otpusti ga i dug mu oprosti.”
Moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him 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!'
But that servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him, saying, ‘Repay me what yoʋ owe.’
29 Drug padne preda nj i stane ga zaklinjati: 'Strpljenja imaj sa mnom i vratit ću ti.'
So his fellow servant fell down at his feet and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay yoʋ.’
30 Ali on ne htjede, nego ode i baci ga u tamnicu dok mu ne vrati duga.”
But he was not willing to do so. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he should repay what was owed.
31 “Kad njegovi drugovi vidješe što se dogodilo, silno ražalošćeni odoše i sve to dojaviše gospodaru.
When his fellow servants saw what had taken place, they were greatly distressed and went and reported to their master all that had happened.
32 Tada ga gospodar dozva i reče mu: 'Slugo opaki, sav sam ti onaj dug oprostio jer si me zamolio.
Then the master summoned the servant and said to him, ‘Yoʋ evil servant! I forgave yoʋ all that debt because yoʋ begged me to do so.
33 Nije li trebalo da se i ti smiluješ svome drugu, kao što sam se i ja tebi smilovao?'
Should yoʋ not also have had mercy on yoʋr fellow servant, even as I had mercy on yoʋ?’
34 I gospodar ga, rasrđen, preda mučiteljima dok mu ne vrati svega duga.
And in anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he should repay all that was owed him.
35 Tako će i Otac moj nebeski učiniti s vama ako svatko od srca ne oprosti svomu bratu.”
My heavenly Father will also do the same to you if each one of you, from your hearts, does not forgive his brother for his trespasses.”
