< Matej 21 >
1 Kad se približiše Jeruzalemu te dođoše u Betfagu, na Maslinskoj gori, posla Isus dvojicu učenika
And when they drew nigh to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, unto mount Olivet, then Jesus sent 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 ye into the village that is over against you, and immediately you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them and bring them to me.
3 Ako vam tko što rekne, recite: 'Gospodinu trebaju', i odmah će ih pustiti.”
And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
4 To se dogodi da se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku:
Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:
5 Recite kćeri Sionskoj: Evo kralj ti tvoj dolazi, krotak, jašuć na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.
Tell ye the daughter of Sion: Behold thy king cometh to thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of her that is used to the yoke.
6 Učenici odu i učine kako im naredi Isus.
And the disciples going, did as Jesus commanded them.
7 Dovedu magaricu i magare te stave na njih haljine i Isus uzjaha na njih.
And they brought the ass and the colt, and laid their garments upon them, and made him sit thereon.
8 Silan svijet prostrije svoje haljine po putu, a drugi rezahu grane sa stabala i sterahu ih po putu.
And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way: and others cut boughs from the trees, and strewed them in the way:
9 Mnoštvo pak pred njim i za njim klicaše: “Hosana Sinu Davidovu! Blagoslovljen Onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje! Hosana u visinama!”
And the multitudes that went before and that followed, cried, saying: Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.
10 Kad uđe u Jeruzalem, uskomešao se sav grad i govorio: “Tko je ovaj?”
And when he was come into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying: Who is this?
11 A mnoštvo odgovaraše: “To je Prorok, Isus iz Nazareta galilejskoga.”
And the people said: This is Jesus the prophet, from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Isus uđe u Hram i izagna sve koji su prodavali i kupovali u Hramu. Mjenjačima isprevrta stolove i prodavačima golubova klupe.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and the chairs of them that sold doves:
13 Kaže im: “Pisamo je: Dom će se moj zvati Dom molitve, a vi od njega činite pećinu razbojničku.”
And he saith to them: It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.
14 U Hramu mu priđoše slijepi i hromi i on ih ozdravi.
And there came to him the blind and the lame in 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
And the chief priests and scribes, seeing the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying: Hosanna to the son of David; were moved with indignation.
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?”
And said to him: Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus said to them: Yea, have you never read: Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 On ih ostavi, pođe iz grada u Betaniju te ondje prenoći.
And leaving them, he went out of the city into Bethania, and remained there.
18 Ujutro se vraćao u grad i ogladnje.
And in the morning, returning into 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 )
And seeing a certain fig tree by the way side, he came to it, and found nothing on it but leaves only, and he saith to it: May no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn )
20 Vidjevši to, učenici se začude: “Kako umah smokva usahnu!”
And the disciples seeing it wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?
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.
And Jesus answering, said to them: Amen, I say to you, if you shall have faith, and stagger not, not only this of the fig tree shall you do, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Take up and cast thyself into the sea, it shall be done.
22 I sve što zaištete u molitvi vjerujući, primit ćete.”
And in all things whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
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?”
And when he was come into the temple, there came to him, as he was teaching, the chief priests and ancients of the people, saying: By what authority dost thou these things? and who hath given thee 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.
Jesus answering, said to them: I also will ask you one word, which if you shall tell me, I will also tell you by what authority I do 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?'
The baptism of John, whence was it? from heaven or from men? But they thought within themselves, saying:
26 A reknemo li 'Od ljudi', strah nas je mnoštva. Ta svi Ivana smatraju prorokom.”
If we shall say, from heaven, he will say to us: Why then did you not believe him? But if we shall say, from men, we are afraid of the multitude: for all held John as a prophet.
27 Zato odgovore Isusu: “Ne znamo.” I on njima reče: “Ni ja vama neću kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.”
And answering Jesus, they said: We know not. He also said to them: Neither do I tell you by what authority I do 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 think you? A certain man had two sons; and coming to the first, he said: Son, go work today in my vineyard.
29 On odgovori: 'Neću!' No poslije se predomisli i ode.
And he answering, said: I will not. But afterwards, being moved with repentance, he went.
30 Priđe i drugomu pa mu reče isto tako. A on odgovori: 'Evo me, gospodaru!' i ne ode.
And coming to the other, he said in like manner. And he answering, said: I go, Sir; and he went not.
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 father’s will? They say to him: The first. Jesus saith to them: Amen I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots shall go into 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 the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the publicans and the harlots believed him: but you, seeing it, did not even afterwards repent, that you might 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.
Hear ye another parable. There was a man an householder, who planted a vineyard, and made a hedge round about it, and dug in it a press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen; and went into a strange country.
34 Kad se približilo vrijeme plodova, posla svoje sluge vinogradarima da uzmu njegov urod.
And when the time of the fruits drew nigh, he sent his servants to the husbandmen that they might receive the fruits thereof.
35 A vinogradari pograbe njegove sluge pa jednoga istukoše, drugog ubiše, a trećega kamenovaše.
And the husbandmen laying hands on his servants, beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
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 former; and they did to them in like manner.
37 “Naposljetku posla k njima sina svoga misleći: 'Poštovat će mog sina.'
And last of all he sent to them his son, saying: They will reverence my son.
38 Ali kad vinogradari ugledaju sina, rekoše među sobom: 'Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i imat ćemo baštinu njegovu!'
But the husbandmen seeing the son, said among themselves: This is the heir: come, let us kill him, and we shall have his inheritance.
39 I pograbe ga, izbace iz vinograda i ubiju.”
And taking him, they cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 “Kada dakle dođe gospodar vinograda, što će učiniti s tim vinogradarima?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard shall come, what will he do to those husbandmen?
41 Kažu mu: “Opake će nemilo pogubiti, a vinograd iznajmiti drugim vinogradarima što će mu davati urod u svoje vrijeme.”
They say to him: He will bring those evil men to an evil end; and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, that shall render him the fruit in due season.
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 saith to them: Have you never read in the Scriptures: The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? By the Lord this has been done; and it is wonderful 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 say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and shall be given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
44 I tko padne na taj kamen, smrskat će se, a na koga on padne, satrt će ga.)”
And whosoever shall fall on this stone, shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 Kad su glavari svećenički i farizeji čuli te njegove prispodobe, razumjeli su da govori o njima.
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he spoke of them.
46 I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva jer ga je smatralo prorokom.
And seeking to lay hands on him, they feared the multitudes: because they held him as a prophet.
