Matthew 19
1 AND it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea beyond Jordan.
Kad Isus završi ove besjede, ode iz Galileje i dođe u judejski kraj s onu stranu Jordana.
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
Za njim je išao silan svijet. Ondje ih izliječi.
3 And the Pharisees came to him, tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
Pristupe mu tada farizeji pa, da ga iskušaju, kažu: “Je li dopušteno otpustiti ženu s kojega god razloga?”
4 But he replying, said unto them, Have ye not read, that he who created them from the beginning, created them male and female?
On odgovori: “Zar niste čitali: Stvoritelj od početka muško i žensko stvori ih
5 And he said, for this reason shall a man forsake father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
i reče: Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu; i dvoje njih bit će jedno tijelo?
6 Wherefore they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath yoked together, let no man separate.
Tako više nisu dvoje, nego jedno tijelo. Što, dakle, Bog združi, čovjek neka ne rastavlja.”
7 They say unto him, Why then did Moses command to give her a bill of divorce, and to put her away?
Kažu mu: “Zašto onda Mojsije zapovjedi dati otpusno pismo i - otpustiti?”
8 He saith unto them, It was on account of the hardness of your hearts that Moses gave you permission to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not thus.
Odgovori im: “Zbog tvrdoće srca vašega dopusti vam Mojsije otpustiti žene, ali od početka ne bijaše tako.
9 And I tell you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for whoredom, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and he that marrieth the divorced woman, committeth adultery.
A ja vam kažem: Tko otpusti svoju ženu - osim zbog bludništva - pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub.”
10 His disciples said unto him, If the case of a man with his wife be thus, it is not expedient to marry.
Kažu mu učenici: “Ako je tako između muža i žene, bolje je ne ženiti se.”
11 Then he said to them, All men are not capable of receiving this saying, but they to whom it is given.
A on im reče: “Ne shvaćaju toga svi, nego samo oni kojima je dano.
12 For there are eunuchs, who were so from their mothers’ womb; and there are eunuchs, who have been made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven. He that is capable of receiving, let him receive it.
Doista, ima za ženidbu nesposobnih koji se takvi iz utrobe materine rodiše. Ima nesposobnih koje ljudi onesposobiše. A ima nesposobnih koji sami sebe onesposobiše poradi kraljevstva nebeskoga. Tko može shvatiti, neka shvati.”
13 Then were brought to him little children, that he should lay his hands upon them, and pray for them: but the disciples rebuked them.
Tada mu doniješe dječicu da na njih stavi ruke i pomoli se. A učenici im branili.
14 Then said Jesus, Permit little children, and hinder them not from coming to me; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
Nato će im Isus: “Pustite dječicu i ne priječite im k meni jer takvih je kraljevstvo nebesko!”
15 And when he had laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
I položi ruke na njih pa krene odande.
16 And lo! a person coming to him, said, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, in order to attain eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
I gle, pristupi mu netko i reče: “Učitelju, koje mi je dobro činiti da imam život vječni?” (aiōnios g166)
17 Then he said to him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, even God: but if thou art desirous of entering into life, keep the commandments.
A on mu reče: “Što me pitaš o dobrome? Jedan je samo dobar! Ali ako hoćeš u život ući, čuvaj zapovijedi.”
18 He saith unto him, Which? Then said Jesus, these, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Upita ga: “Koje?” A Isus reče: Ne ubij! Ne čini preljuba! Ne ukradi! Ne svjedoči lažno!
19 Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Poštuj oca i majku! I ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga!”
20 The young man saith to him, All these things have I observed from my youth: in what am I still deficient?
Kaže mu mladić: “Sve sam to čuvao. Što mi još nedostaje?”
21 Jesus said to him, If thou art desirous to be perfect, go, sell all thy substance, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
Reče mu Isus: “Hoćeš li biti savršen, idi, prodaj što imaš i podaj siromasima pa ćeš imati blago na nebu. A onda dođi i idi za mnom.”
22 Now when the young man heard this speech, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.
Na tu riječ ode mladić žalostan jer imaše velik imetak.
23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That very difficultly shall a rich man enter into the kingdom of heaven.
A Isus reče svojim učenicima: “Zaista, kažem vas, teško će bogataš u kraljevstvo nebesko.
24 And again I repeat it to you, It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Ponovno vam velim: Lakše je devi kroz uši iglene nego bogatašu u kraljevstvo Božje.”
25 But when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Čuvši to, učenici se silno snebivahu govoreći: “Tko se onda može spasiti?”
26 And Jesus looking upon them, said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
A Isus upre u njih pogled pa im reče: “Ljudima je to nemoguće, ali Bogu je sve moguće.”
27 Then Peter addressing him, said unto him, Lo! we have left all and followed thee; what, I pray thee, shall we receive?
Tada Petar prihvati pa upita: “Evo, mi sve ostavismo i pođosmo za tobom. Što ćemo za to dobiti?”
28 Then said Jesus unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me in the regeneration, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Reče im Isus: “Zaista, kažem vam, vi koji pođoste za mnom, o preporodu, kad Sin Čovječji sjedne na prijestolje svoje slave, i vi ćete sjediti na dvanaest prijestolja i suditi dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.
29 And every one who hath left family, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name sake, shall receive an hundred fold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
I tko god ostavi kuće, ili braću, ili sestre, ili oca, ili majku, ili ženu, ili djecu, ili polja poradi imena mojega, stostruko će primiti i život vječni baštiniti.” (aiōnios g166)
30 But many, now first, will be the last; and last, who will be the first.
“A mnogi prvi bit će posljednji, i posljednji prvi.”
