Matej 21
1 Kad se približiše Jeruzalemu te dođoše u Betfagu, na Maslinskoj gori, posla Isus dvojicu učenika
As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage on the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent out two disciples,
2 govoreći: “Pođite u selo pred vama i odmah ćete naći privezanu magaricu i uz nju magare. Odriješite ih i dovedite k meni.
saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt beside her. Untie them and bring them to Me.
3 Ako vam tko što rekne, recite: 'Gospodinu trebaju', i odmah će ih pustiti.”
If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”
4 To se dogodi da se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku:
This took place to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet:
5 Recite kćeri Sionskoj: Evo kralj ti tvoj dolazi, krotak, jašuć na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.
“Say to the Daughter of Zion, ‘See, your King comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”
6 Učenici odu i učine kako im naredi Isus.
So the disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them.
7 Dovedu magaricu i magare te stave na njih haljine i Isus uzjaha na njih.
They brought the donkey and the colt and laid their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
8 Silan svijet prostrije svoje haljine po putu, a drugi rezahu grane sa stabala i sterahu ih po putu.
A massive crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 Mnoštvo pak pred njim i za njim klicaše: “Hosana Sinu Davidovu! Blagoslovljen Onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje! Hosana u visinama!”
The crowds that went ahead of Him and those that followed were shouting: “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Kad uđe u Jeruzalem, uskomešao se sav grad i govorio: “Tko je ovaj?”
When Jesus had entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, “Who is this?”
11 A mnoštvo odgovaraše: “To je Prorok, Isus iz Nazareta galilejskoga.”
The crowds replied, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.”
12 Isus uđe u Hram i izagna sve koji su prodavali i kupovali u Hramu. Mjenjačima isprevrta stolove i prodavačima golubova klupe.
Then Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those selling doves.
13 Kaže im: “Pisamo je: Dom će se moj zvati Dom molitve, a vi od njega činite pećinu razbojničku.”
And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’”
14 U Hramu mu priđoše slijepi i hromi i on ih ozdravi.
The blind and the lame came to Him at the temple, and He healed them.
15 A kad glavari svećenički i pismoznanci vidješe čudesa koja učini i djecu što viču Hramom: “Hosana Sinu Davidovu!”, gnjevni
But the chief priests and scribes were indignant when they saw the wonders He performed and the children shouting in the temple courts, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
16 mu rekoše: “Čuješ li što ovi govore?” Kaže im Isus: “Da! A niste li čitali: Iz usta djece i dojenčadi sebi si pripravio hvalu?”
“Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked. “Yes,” Jesus answered. “Have you never read: ‘From the mouths of children and infants You have ordained praise’?”
17 On ih ostavi, pođe iz grada u Betaniju te ondje prenoći.
Then He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, where He spent the night.
18 Ujutro se vraćao u grad i ogladnje.
In the morning, as Jesus was returning to the city, He was hungry.
19 Ugleda smokvu kraj puta i priđe k njoj, ali ne nađe na njoj ništa osim lišća pa joj kaže: “Ne bilo više ploda s tebe dovijeka!” I smokva umah usahnu. (aiōn g165)
Seeing a fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. “May you never bear fruit again!” He said. And immediately the tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Vidjevši to, učenici se začude: “Kako umah smokva usahnu!”
When the disciples saw this, they marveled and asked, “How did the fig tree wither so quickly?”
21 Isus im odvrati: “Zaista, kažem vam, ako budete imali vjeru i ne posumnjate, činit ćete ne samo ovo sa smokvom, nego - reknete li i ovoj gori: 'Digni se i baci u more!', bit će tako.
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen.
22 I sve što zaištete u molitvi vjerujući, primit ćete.”
If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
23 I uđe u Hram. Dok je naučavao, pristupiše mu glavari svećenički i starješine narodne te ga upitaše: “Kojom vlašću to činiš? Tko ti dade tu vlast?”
When Jesus returned to the temple courts and began to teach, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to Him. “By what authority are You doing these things?” they asked. “And who gave You this authority?”
24 Isus im odgovori: “I ja ću vas jedno upitati. Ako mi na to odgovorite, ja ću vama kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.
“I will also ask you one question,” Jesus replied, “and if you answer Me, I will tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
25 Krst Ivanov odakle li bijaše? Od Neba ili od ljudi?” A oni umovahu među sobom: “Reknemo li 'Od Neba', odvratit će nam: 'Zašto mu, dakle, ne povjerovaste?'
What was the source of John’s baptism? Was it from heaven or from men?” They deliberated among themselves and said, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ He will ask, ‘Why then did you not believe him?’
26 A reknemo li 'Od ljudi', strah nas je mnoštva. Ta svi Ivana smatraju prorokom.”
But if we say, ‘From men,’ we are afraid of the people, for they all regard John as a prophet.”
27 Zato odgovore Isusu: “Ne znamo.” I on njima reče: “Ni ja vama neću kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.”
So they answered, “We do not know.” And Jesus replied, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things.
28 “A što vam se čini? Čovjek neki imao dva sina. Priđe prvomu i reče: 'Sinko, hajde danas na posao u vinograd!'
But what do you think? There was a man who had two sons. He went to the first one and said, ‘Son, go and work today in the vineyard.’
29 On odgovori: 'Neću!' No poslije se predomisli i ode.
‘I will not,’ he replied. But later he changed his mind and went.
30 Priđe i drugomu pa mu reče isto tako. A on odgovori: 'Evo me, gospodaru!' i ne ode.
Then the man went to the second son and told him the same thing. ‘I will, sir,’ he said. But he did not go.
31 Koji od te dvojice izvrši volju očevu?” Kažu: “Onaj prvi.” Nato će im Isus: “Zaista, kažem vam, carinici i bludnice pretekoše vas u kraljevstvo Božje!
Which of the two did the will of his father?” “The first,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “Truly I tell you, the tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you.
32 Doista, Ivan dođe k vama putom pravednosti i vi mu ne povjerovaste, a carinici mu i bludnice povjerovaše. Vi pak, makar to vidjeste, ni kasnije se ne predomisliste da mu povjerujete.”
For John came to you in a righteous way and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.
33 “Drugu prispodobu čujte! Bijaše neki domaćin koji posadi vinograd, ogradi ga ogradom, iskopa u njemu tijesak i podiže kulu pa ga iznajmi vinogradarima i otputova.
Listen to another parable: There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He put a wall around it, dug a winepress in it, and built a tower. Then he rented it out to some tenants and went away on a journey.
34 Kad se približilo vrijeme plodova, posla svoje sluge vinogradarima da uzmu njegov urod.
When the harvest time drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants to collect his share of the fruit.
35 A vinogradari pograbe njegove sluge pa jednoga istukoše, drugog ubiše, a trećega kamenovaše.
But the tenants seized his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned a third.
36 I opet posla druge sluge, više njih nego prije, ali oni i s njima postupiše jednako.”
Again, he sent other servants, more than the first group. But the tenants did the same to them.
37 “Naposljetku posla k njima sina svoga misleći: 'Poštovat će mog sina.'
Finally, he sent his son to them. ‘They will respect my son,’ he said.
38 Ali kad vinogradari ugledaju sina, rekoše među sobom: 'Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i imat ćemo baštinu njegovu!'
But when the tenants saw the son, they said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him and take his inheritance.’
39 I pograbe ga, izbace iz vinograda i ubiju.”
So they seized him and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
40 “Kada dakle dođe gospodar vinograda, što će učiniti s tim vinogradarima?”
Therefore, when the owner of the vineyard returns, what will he do to those tenants?”
41 Kažu mu: “Opake će nemilo pogubiti, a vinograd iznajmiti drugim vinogradarima što će mu davati urod u svoje vrijeme.”
“He will bring those wretches to a wretched end,” they replied, “and will rent out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him his share of the fruit at harvest time.”
42 Kaže im Isus: “Zar nikada niste čitali u Pismima: Kamen što ga odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavni. Gospodnje je to djelo - kakvo čudo u očima našim!
Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone. This is from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?
43 Zato će se - kažem vam - oduzeti od vas kraljevstvo Božje i dat će se narodu koji donosi njegove plodove! (
Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people who will produce its fruit.
44 I tko padne na taj kamen, smrskat će se, a na koga on padne, satrt će ga.)”
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but he on whom it falls will be crushed.”
45 Kad su glavari svećenički i farizeji čuli te njegove prispodobe, razumjeli su da govori o njima.
When the chief priests and Pharisees heard His parables, they knew that Jesus was speaking about them.
46 I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva jer ga je smatralo prorokom.
Although they wanted to arrest Him, they were afraid of the crowds, because the people regarded Him as a prophet.
