Matej 19
1 Kad Isus završi ove besjede, ode iz Galileje i dođe u judejski kraj s onu stranu Jordana.
Now it happened, when Jesus had finished these words, that He departed from Galilee and went to the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 Za njim je išao silan svijet. Ondje ih izliječi.
And large crowds followed Him and there He healed them.
3 Pristupe mu tada farizeji pa, da ga iskušaju, kažu: “Je li dopušteno otpustiti ženu s kojega god razloga?”
The Pharisees also came to Him to test Him, saying to Him, “Is it permissible for a man to divorce his wife for just any cause?”
4 On odgovori: “Zar niste čitali: Stvoritelj od početka muško i žensko stvori ih
So in answer He said to them: “Have you never read that the Creator at the beginning made them a male and a female?
5 i reče: Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu; i dvoje njih bit će jedno tijelo?
And He said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be turned into one flesh.’
6 Tako više nisu dvoje, nego jedno tijelo. Što, dakle, Bog združi, čovjek neka ne rastavlja.”
So then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God joined together let not man separate!”
7 Kažu mu: “Zašto onda Mojsije zapovjedi dati otpusno pismo i - otpustiti?”
They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and to dismiss her?”
8 Odgovori im: “Zbog tvrdoće srca vašega dopusti vam Mojsije otpustiti žene, ali od početka ne bijaše tako.
He says to them: “Because of your hard-heartedness Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
9 A ja vam kažem: Tko otpusti svoju ženu - osim zbog bludništva - pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub.”
And I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries a divorcee commits adultery.”
10 Kažu mu učenici: “Ako je tako između muža i žene, bolje je ne ženiti se.”
His disciples say to Him, “If that's the situation of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry!”
11 A on im reče: “Ne shvaćaju toga svi, nego samo oni kojima je dano.
So He said to them: “Not all can assimilate this word, but those to whom it has been given.
12 Doista, ima za ženidbu nesposobnih koji se takvi iz utrobe materine rodiše. Ima nesposobnih koje ljudi onesposobiše. A ima nesposobnih koji sami sebe onesposobiše poradi kraljevstva nebeskoga. Tko može shvatiti, neka shvati.”
For there are eunuchs who were born that way, from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were castrated by men; and there are eunuchs who castrated themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to assimilate it, let him assimilate.”
13 Tada mu doniješe dječicu da na njih stavi ruke i pomoli se. A učenici im branili.
Then little children were brought to Him, that He might lay hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Nato će im Isus: “Pustite dječicu i ne priječite im k meni jer takvih je kraljevstvo nebesko!”
So Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens.”
15 I položi ruke na njih pa krene odande.
And after laying hands on them He moved on from there.
16 I gle, pristupi mu netko i reče: “Učitelju, koje mi je dobro činiti da imam život vječni?” (aiōnios g166)
And then, a certain one came and said to Him, “Good teacher, what good thing must I do so that I may have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
17 A on mu reče: “Što me pitaš o dobrome? Jedan je samo dobar! Ali ako hoćeš u život ući, čuvaj zapovijedi.”
But He said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except One, God. But if you want to enter into the life, keep the commandments.”
18 Upita ga: “Koje?” A Isus reče: Ne ubij! Ne čini preljuba! Ne ukradi! Ne svjedoči lažno!
He says to Him, “Which ones?” So Jesus said: “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not give false witness,’
19 Poštuj oca i majku! I ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga!”
‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
20 Kaže mu mladić: “Sve sam to čuvao. Što mi još nedostaje?”
The young man says to Him: “I have kept all these things since my youth. What do I still lack?”
21 Reče mu Isus: “Hoćeš li biti savršen, idi, prodaj što imaš i podaj siromasima pa ćeš imati blago na nebu. A onda dođi i idi za mnom.”
Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come follow me.”
22 Na tu riječ ode mladić žalostan jer imaše velik imetak.
So upon hearing that word the young man went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
23 A Isus reče svojim učenicima: “Zaista, kažem vas, teško će bogataš u kraljevstvo nebesko.
Then Jesus said to His disciples: “Assuredly I say to you that only with difficulty will a rich person enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
24 Ponovno vam velim: Lakše je devi kroz uši iglene nego bogatašu u kraljevstvo Božje.”
And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”
25 Čuvši to, učenici se silno snebivahu govoreći: “Tko se onda može spasiti?”
Upon hearing it His disciples were really flabbergasted saying, “Who then can be saved?”
26 A Isus upre u njih pogled pa im reče: “Ljudima je to nemoguće, ali Bogu je sve moguće.”
So looking at them Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
27 Tada Petar prihvati pa upita: “Evo, mi sve ostavismo i pođosmo za tobom. Što ćemo za to dobiti?”
Then Peter answered and said to Him: “See, we have left all and followed you. So what will we have?”
28 Reče im Isus: “Zaista, kažem vam, vi koji pođoste za mnom, o preporodu, kad Sin Čovječji sjedne na prijestolje svoje slave, i vi ćete sjediti na dvanaest prijestolja i suditi dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.
So Jesus said to them: “Assuredly I say to you that in the Regeneration, when the Son of the Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 I tko god ostavi kuće, ili braću, ili sestre, ili oca, ili majku, ili ženu, ili djecu, ili polja poradi imena mojega, stostruko će primiti i život vječni baštiniti.” (aiōnios g166)
And, everyone who left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my name's sake will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
30 “A mnogi prvi bit će posljednji, i posljednji prvi.”
But many ‘first’ will be last, and ‘last’ first.
