Matej 19
1 Kad Isus završi ove besjede, ode iz Galileje i dođe u judejski kraj s onu stranu Jordana.
It came about after Jesus had finished these teachings, that he removed from Galilee, and went to that part of Judea which lay across the Jordan.
2 Za njim je išao silan svijet. Ondje ih izliječi.
A great multitude followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Pristupe mu tada farizeji pa, da ga iskušaju, kažu: “Je li dopušteno otpustiti ženu s kojega god razloga?”
Presently some of the Pharisees came up to him, and made test of him by asking, "Is it right for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?"
4 On odgovori: “Zar niste čitali: Stvoritelj od početka muško i žensko stvori ih
"Have you not read." he answered, "that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said,
5 i reče: Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu; i dvoje njih bit će jedno tijelo?
"For this cause shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall be one flesh?
6 Tako više nisu dvoje, nego jedno tijelo. Što, dakle, Bog združi, čovjek neka ne rastavlja.”
"Thus they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate."
7 Kažu mu: “Zašto onda Mojsije zapovjedi dati otpusno pismo i - otpustiti?”
They answered, "Why then did Moses command the husband to give her’a written bill of divorce,’ and so to put her away?"
8 Odgovori im: “Zbog tvrdoće srca vašega dopusti vam Mojsije otpustiti žene, ali od početka ne bijaše tako.
"Moses," said Jesus, "permitted you to divorce your wives on account of the hardness of your hearts, but from the beginning it was not so.
9 A ja vam kažem: Tko otpusti svoju ženu - osim zbog bludništva - pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub.”
"And I tell you that any man who divorces his wife for any cause except her unfaithfulness, and marries another woman, commits adultery."
10 Kažu mu učenici: “Ako je tako između muža i žene, bolje je ne ženiti se.”
"If that is the position of a man in relation to his wife," answered the disciples, "it is better not to marry."
11 A on im reče: “Ne shvaćaju toga svi, nego samo oni kojima je dano.
He answered them. "Not all are accepting this teaching, but only those to whom it has been granted.
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 have been such from birth; others who have been made such by men; and others who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of God. He who is able to receive this, let him receive it."
13 Tada mu doniješe dječicu da na njih stavi ruke i pomoli se. A učenici im branili.
Then young children were brought to him, that he might lay his hands on them and pray. His disciples interfered, but Jesus said to them.
14 Nato će im Isus: “Pustite dječicu i ne priječite im k meni jer takvih je kraljevstvo nebesko!”
"Let the little children come to me, and forbid them not; for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of heaven belongs."
15 I položi ruke na njih pa krene odande.
So he laid his hands upon them, and departed from that place.
16 I gle, pristupi mu netko i reče: “Učitelju, koje mi je dobro činiti da imam život vječni?” (aiōnios g166)
But look! a certain man came up to him and asked, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do to inherit 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.”
"Why do you ask me about what is good?" asked Jesus. "There is but One who is good. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments."
18 Upita ga: “Koje?” A Isus reče: Ne ubij! Ne čini preljuba! Ne ukradi! Ne svjedoči lažno!
"Which commandments?" asked the man. Jesus replied. "Thou shalt not kill; Thou shalt not commit adultery; Thou shalt not steal; Thou shalt not bear false witness;
19 Poštuj oca i majku! I ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga!”
"Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself."
20 Kaže mu mladić: “Sve sam to čuvao. Što mi još nedostaje?”
The young man answered. "I have carefully kept them all. What yet do I 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.”
"If you want to be perfect," said Jesus, "go, sell your property, 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.
But when the young man heard this teaching, he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had much property.
23 A Isus reče svojim učenicima: “Zaista, kažem vas, teško će bogataš u kraljevstvo nebesko.
So Jesus said to his disciples. "In solemn truth I tell you that a rich man will find it difficult to enter the kingdom of heaven.
24 Ponovno vam velim: Lakše je devi kroz uši iglene nego bogatašu u kraljevstvo Božje.”
"I tell you again, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."
25 Čuvši to, učenici se silno snebivahu govoreći: “Tko se onda može spasiti?”
When they heard this the disciples were utterly astounded. "Who then can be saved?" they exclaimed. Jesus looked at them.
26 A Isus upre u njih pogled pa im reče: “Ljudima je to nemoguće, ali Bogu je sve moguće.”
"With men this is impossible," he said, "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?”
Whereupon Peter said to Jesus. "Look, Master, we have forsaken everything and followed you. Now what shall be our reward?"
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.
"In solemn truth I tell you," Jesus answered, "that in the New Creation, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also who have followed me shall sit on twelve thrones, to govern 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 every one who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my sake, shall many times as much, and fall heir to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 “A mnogi prvi bit će posljednji, i posljednji prvi.”
"But many who are first shall be last, and many who are last shall be first.
