Matej 6
1 “Pazite da svoje pravednosti ne činite pred ljudima da vas oni vide. Inače, nema vam plaće u vašeg Oca koji je na nebesima.
“Be careful not to do your charitable giving before the people so as to be seen by them. Otherwise you have no reward from your Father who is in the heavens.
2 Kada dakle dijeliš milostinju, ne trubi pred sobom, kako to u sinagogama i na ulicama čine licemjeri da bi ih ljudi hvalili. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
Therefore, whenever you do charitable giving do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by the people. Assuredly I say to you, they already have their reward.
3 Ti naprotiv, kada daješ milostinju - neka ti ne zna ljevica što čini desnica,
But when you do charitable giving do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4 da tvoja milostinja bude u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti!”
so that your charitable giving may be in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will Himself repay you openly.
5 “Tako i kad molite, ne budite kao licemjeri. Vole moliti stojeći u sinagogama i na raskršćima ulica da se pokažu ljudima. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
And whenever you pray do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners, so that they may be seen by the people. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
6 Ti naprotiv, kad moliš, uđi u svoju sobu, zatvori vrata i pomoli se svomu Ocu, koji je u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti.”
But you, whenever you pray, go into your room, and having shut the door pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you openly.
7 “Kad molite, ne blebećite kao pogani. Misle da će s mnoštva riječi biti uslišani.
“But when you pray do not babble like the heathen; for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
8 Ne nalikujte na njih. Ta zna vaš Otac što vam treba i prije negoli ga zaištete.
So do not be like them, because your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
9 Vi, dakle, ovako molite: 'Oče naš, koji jesi na nebesima! Sveti se ime tvoje!
Therefore, you pray like this: ‘Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your name be reverenced;
10 Dođi kraljevstvo tvoje! Budi volja tvoja kako na nebu tako i na zemlji!
let Your kingdom come, let Your will be done, on the earth just as in heaven.
11 Kruh naš svagdanji daj nam danas!
Give us today our daily bread;
12 I opusti nam duge naše kako i mi otpustismo dužnicima svojim!
and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 I ne uvedi nas u napast, nego izbavi nas od Zloga!'”
And do not bring us into testing, but rescue us from the evil one; because Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.’
14 “Doista, ako vi otpustite ljudima njihove prijestupke, otpustit će i vama Otac vaš nebeski.
For if you forgive people their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Ako li vi ne otpustite ljudima, ni Otac vaš neće otpustiti vaših prijestupaka.”
But if you do not forgive people their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 “I kad postite, ne budite smrknuti kao licemjeri. Izobličuju lica da pokažu ljudima kako poste. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
“Also, whenever you fast do not become gloomy like the hypocrites, because they disfigure their faces so that people will notice that they are fasting. Assuredly I say to you that they already have their reward.
17 Ti naprotiv, kad postiš, pomaži glavu i umij lice
But when you fast anoint your head and wash your face,
18 da ne zapaze ljudi kako postiš, nego Otac tvoj, koji je u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti.”
so that you do not appear to the people to be fasting, but to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will repay you.
19 “Ne zgrćite sebi blago na zemlji, gdje ga moljac i rđa nagrizaju i gdje ga kradljivci potkapaju i kradu.
“Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust ruin and where thieves break in and steal;
20 Zgrćite sebi blago na nebu, gdje ga ni moljac ni rđa ne nagrizaju i gdje kradljivci ne potkapaju niti kradu.
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust ruins and where thieves neither break in nor steal;
21 Doista, gdje ti je blago, ondje će ti biti i srce.”
because where your treasure is there your heart will be also.
22 “Oko je tijelu svjetiljka. Ako ti je dakle oko bistro, sve će tijelo tvoje biti svijetlo.
“The lamp of the body is the eye. So if your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Ako ti je pak oko nevaljalo, sve će tijelo tvoje biti tamno. Ako je dakle svjetlost koja je u tebi - tamna, kolika će istom tama biti?”
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. So if the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24 “Nitko ne može služiti dvojici gospodara. Ili će jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili će uz jednoga prianjati, a drugoga prezirati. Ne možete služiti Bogu i bogatstvu.”
“No one is able to serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money.
25 “Zato vam kažem: Ne budite zabrinuti za život svoj: što ćete jesti, što ćete piti; ni za tijelo svoje: u što ćete se obući. Zar život nije vredniji od jela i tijelo od odijela?”
Therefore, I say to you not to worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
26 “Pogledajte ptice nebeske! Ne siju, ne žanju niti sabiru u žitnice, pa ipak ih hrani vaš nebeski Otac. Zar niste vi vredniji od njih?
Look at the birds of the air, that they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not superior to them?
27 A tko od vas zabrinutošću može svome stasu dodati jedan lakat?
And which of you can add one cubit to his stature by worrying?
28 I za odijelo što ste zabrinuti? Promotrite poljske ljiljane, kako rastu! Ne muče se niti predu.
And why do you worry about clothes? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither labor nor spin,
29 A kažem vam: ni Salomon se u svoj svojoj slavi ne zaodjenu kao jedan od njih.
and yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was arrayed like one of these.
30 Pa ako travu poljsku, koja danas jest a sutra se u peć baca, Bog tako odijeva, neće li još više vas, malovjerni?”
Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which exists today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, you little-faiths?
31 “Nemojte dakle zabrinuto govoriti: 'Što ćemo jesti?' ili: 'Što ćemo piti?' ili: 'U što ćemo se obući?'
Therefore do not worry saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’
32 Ta sve to pogani ištu. Zna Otac vaš nebeski da vam je sve to potrebno.
For the pagans seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need each of these things.
33 Tražite stoga najprije Kraljevstvo i pravednost njegovu, a sve će vam se ostalo dodati.
Rather, seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
34 Ne budite dakle zabrinuti za sutra. Sutra će se samo brinuti za se. Dosta je svakom danu zla njegova.”
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own affairs. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
