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.
[But] take heed, that ye do not, your righteousness, before men, to be gazed at by them, —otherwise at least, reward, have ye none, with 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.
When, therefore, thou mayest be doing an alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, just as, the hypocrites, do in the synagogues and in the streets—that they may be glorified by men, —Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
3 Ti naprotiv, kada daješ milostinju - neka ti ne zna ljevica što čini desnica,
But, thou, when doing an alms, let not, thy left hand, know what thy right hand is doing;
4 da tvoja milostinja bude u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti!”
that thine alms may be in secret, —and, thy Father, who seeth in secret, will give it back to thee.
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, when ye may be praying, ye shall not be as the hypocrites, because they love, in the synagogues, and at the corners of the broad ways, to take their stand and pray, that they may shine before men; Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back 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, thou, when thou wouldest pray, enter into thy closet, and, fastening thy door, pray unto thy Father who is in secret, —and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.
7 “Kad molite, ne blebećite kao pogani. Misle da će s mnoštva riječi biti uslišani.
And, being at prayer, use not vain repetitions, just like the nations, —for they think, that, in their much speaking, they shall be hoard;
8 Ne nalikujte na njih. Ta zna vaš Otac što vam treba i prije negoli ga zaištete.
do not, therefore, make yourselves like them, for [God] your Father knoweth of what things ye have, need, before ye ask him.
9 Vi, dakle, ovako molite: 'Oče naš, koji jesi na nebesima! Sveti se ime tvoje!
Thus, therefore pray, ye: Our Father, who art in the heavens, —Hallowed be thy name,
10 Dođi kraljevstvo tvoje! Budi volja tvoja kako na nebu tako i na zemlji!
Come may thy kingdom, —Accomplished be thy will, as in heaven, also on earth:
11 Kruh naš svagdanji daj nam danas!
Our needful bread, give us, this day;
12 I opusti nam duge naše kako i mi otpustismo dužnicima svojim!
And forgive us our debts, as, we also, have forgiven our debtors;
13 I ne uvedi nas u napast, nego izbavi nas od Zloga!'”
And bring us not into temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
14 “Doista, ako vi otpustite ljudima njihove prijestupke, otpustit će i vama Otac vaš nebeski.
For, if ye forgive men their faults, Your Father who is in the heavens, will forgive, even you;
15 Ako li vi ne otpustite ljudima, ni Otac vaš neće otpustiti vaših prijestupaka.”
But, if ye forgive not men [their faults], neither will your Father forgive, your faults.
16 “I kad postite, ne budite smrknuti kao licemjeri. Izobličuju lica da pokažu ljudima kako poste. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
And, when ye may he fasting, become not ye, as the hypocrites, of sullen countenance, —for they darken their looks, that they may appear, unto men, to be fasting: Verily, I say unto you, they are getting back their reward.
17 Ti naprotiv, kad postiš, pomaži glavu i umij lice
But, when, thou, art fasting, anoint thy head, and, thy face, wash, —
18 da ne zapaze ljudi kako postiš, nego Otac tvoj, koji je u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti.”
that thou do not appear, unto men, to be fasting, but to thy Father who is in secret, —and, thy Father who seeth in secret, will reward thee.
19 “Ne zgrćite sebi blago na zemlji, gdje ga moljac i rđa nagrizaju i gdje ga kradljivci potkapaju i kradu.
Be not laying up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where, moth and rust, do tarnish, and where, thieves, dig through and steal;
20 Zgrćite sebi blago na nebu, gdje ga ni moljac ni rđa ne nagrizaju i gdje kradljivci ne potkapaju niti kradu.
but be laying up or yourselves treasures in heaven, where, neither moth nor rust, doth tarnish, and where, thieves, dig not through nor steal:
21 Doista, gdje ti je blago, ondje će ti biti i srce.”
for, where, thy treasure, is, there, will be, thy heart [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: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body, shall be, lighted up;
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 thine eye be, evil, thy whole body, shall be, in the dark; —if therefore, the light which is in thee, is, darkness, the darkness, how great!
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, unto two masters, can be in service; for either, the one, he will hate, and, the other, love, or, one, he will hold to, and, the other, despise: Ye cannot be in service, unto God, and, unto Riches.
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?”
For this cause, I say unto you: Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat [or what ye shall drink], —or for your body, what ye shall put on: Is not, the life, more than, the food? And, the body, than, the raiment?
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?
Observe intently, the birds of the heaven, —that they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns, and yet, your heavenly Father, feedeth, them: Are no, ye, much better than, they?
27 A tko od vas zabrinutošću može svome stasu dodati jedan lakat?
But who from among you, being anxious, can add to his stature one cubit?
28 I za odijelo što ste zabrinuti? Promotrite poljske ljiljane, kako rastu! Ne muče se niti predu.
And, about clothing, why are ye anxious? Consider well the lilies of the field, how they grow, —they toil not neither do they spin;
29 A kažem vam: ni Salomon se u svoj svojoj slavi ne zaodjenu kao jedan od njih.
And yet, I say unto you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, 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 the grass of the field—which to-day, is, and, to-morrow, into an oven, is cast—God thus adorneth, not much rather, you, little of faith?
31 “Nemojte dakle zabrinuto govoriti: 'Što ćemo jesti?' ili: 'Što ćemo piti?' ili: 'U što ćemo se obući?'
Do not then be anxious saying, What shall we eat? or What shall we drink? or Wherewithal shall we be arrayed?
32 Ta sve to pogani ištu. Zna Otac vaš nebeski da vam je sve to potrebno.
For, all these things, the nations, seek after, —for your heavenly Father, knoweth, that ye are needing, all these things.
33 Tražite stoga najprije Kraljevstvo i pravednost njegovu, a sve će vam se ostalo dodati.
But be seeking first, the kingdom and its righteousness, —and, all these things, shall be added unto you.
34 Ne budite dakle zabrinuti za sutra. Sutra će se samo brinuti za se. Dosta je svakom danu zla njegova.”
Do not, then, be anxious for the morrow; for the morrow, will be anxious, for itself: Sufficient for the day, is the evil thereof.
