Matej 21
1 Kad se približiše Jeruzalemu te dođoše u Betfagu, na Maslinskoj gori, posla Isus dvojicu učenika
When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, 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 into the village that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 Ako vam tko što rekne, recite: 'Gospodinu trebaju', i odmah će ih pustiti.”
If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 To se dogodi da se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku:
All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Recite kćeri Sionskoj: Evo kralj ti tvoj dolazi, krotak, jašuć na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.
“Tell the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6 Učenici odu i učine kako im naredi Isus.
The disciples went and did just as Jesus commanded them,
7 Dovedu magaricu i magare te stave na njih haljine i Isus uzjaha na njih.
and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 Silan svijet prostrije svoje haljine po putu, a drugi rezahu grane sa stabala i sterahu ih po putu.
A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. 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 multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept 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 he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 A mnoštvo odgovaraše: “To je Prorok, Isus iz Nazareta galilejskoga.”
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Jesus, 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.
Jesus entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 Kaže im: “Pisamo je: Dom će se moj zvati Dom molitve, a vi od njega činite pećinu razbojničku.”
He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
14 U Hramu mu priđoše slijepi i hromi i on ih ozdravi.
The lame and the blind came to him 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
But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hosanna to the son of David!” they were indignant,
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, “Do you hear what these are saying?” Jesus said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
17 On ih ostavi, pođe iz grada u Betaniju te ondje prenoći.
He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
18 Ujutro se vraćao u grad i ogladnje.
Now in the morning, as he returned 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 came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Vidjevši to, učenici se začude: “Kako umah smokva usahnu!”
When the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately wither 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.
Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
22 I sve što zaištete u molitvi vjerujući, primit ćete.”
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will 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?”
When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? 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.
Jesus answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise will 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, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘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 fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
27 Zato odgovore Isusu: “Ne znamo.” I on njima reče: “Ni ja vama neću kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.”
They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will 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 do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29 On odgovori: 'Neću!' No poslije se predomisli i ode.
He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30 Priđe i drugomu pa mu reče isto tako. A on odgovori: 'Evo me, gospodaru!' i ne ode.
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t 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?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom 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 righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, 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 another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
34 Kad se približilo vrijeme plodova, posla svoje sluge vinogradarima da uzmu njegov urod.
When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
35 A vinogradari pograbe njegove sluge pa jednoga istukoše, drugog ubiše, a trećega kamenovaše.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, 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 first; and they treated them the same way.
37 “Naposljetku posla k njima sina svoga misleći: 'Poštovat će mog sina.'
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect 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 farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39 I pograbe ga, izbace iz vinograda i ubiju.”
So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then killed him.
40 “Kada dakle dođe gospodar vinograda, što će učiniti s tim vinogradarima?”
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Kažu mu: “Opake će nemilo pogubiti, a vinograd iznajmiti drugim vinogradarima što će mu davati urod u svoje vrijeme.”
They told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its 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 said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. 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, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing 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 on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
45 Kad su glavari svećenički i farizeji čuli te njegove prispodobe, razumjeli su da govori o njima.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva jer ga je smatralo prorokom.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
