Mark 12
1 Then Jesus told [those Jewish leaders] a parable. [He wanted to show what God would do to those who rejected the former prophets and himself. He said], “A certain man planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it [in order to protect it]. He made a stone tank [to collect the juice that] they would press [out of the grapes]. He also built a tower [for someone to sit in to guard his vineyard]. Then he leased the vineyard to some men to care for it and [to] give him some of the [grapes] in return. Then he went away to another country.
I uze im zboriti u prispodobama: Čovjek vinograd posadi, ogradom ogradi, iskopa tijesak i kulu podiže pa ga iznajmi vinogradarima i otputova.
2 When the time came to harvest the [grapes], he sent a servant to the men [who were taking care of the vineyard] in order to receive from them his share of the grapes that the vineyard had produced.
I u svoje vrijeme posla vinogradarima slugu da od njih uzme dio uroda vinogradarskoga.
3 But [after the servant arrived], they grabbed him and beat him, and they did not give him any fruit. Then they sent him away.
A oni ga pograbiše, istukoše i otposlaše praznih ruku.
4 Later the one who owned the vineyard sent another servant to them. But they beat that one on his head, and they insulted him.
I opet posla k njima drugog slugu: i njemu razbiše glavu i izružiše ga.
5 Later he sent another servant. That man they killed. They mistreated many other servants [whom he sent]. Some they beat and some they killed.
Trećega također posla: njega ubiše. Tako i mnoge druge: jedne istukoše, druge pobiše.”
6 The man still had one other [person with him]. It was his son. He loved him very much. So, finally he sent his son to them because he thought that they would respect him [and give him some of the grapes].
“Još jednoga imaše, sina ljubljenoga. Njega naposljetku posla k njima misleći: 'Poštovat će sina moga.'
7 But [when they saw his son coming], those men who were looking after the vineyard said to each other, ‘Look! Here comes the man who will some day inherit the vineyard! So let’s kill him in order that this vineyard will be ours!’
Ali ti vinogradari među sobom rekoše: 'Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i baština će biti naša.'
8 They seized him and killed him. Then they threw his body outside the vineyard.
I pograbe ga, ubiju i izbace iz vinograda.”
9 So (do you know what the man who owns the vineyard will do?/I will tell you what the man who owns the vineyard will do [RHQ]). He will come, and he will kill those evil men who were taking care of his vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.
“Što li će učiniti gospodar vinograda? Doći će i pobiti te vinogradare i dati vinograd drugima.
10 [Now think carefully about these words], which you have read [in] the Scriptures: The men who were building the building rejected one stone. But others [put that same stone in its proper place, and] it has become the most important stone in the building [MET]!
Niste li čitali ovo Pismo: Kamen što ga odbaciše graditelji, postade kamen zaglavni.
11 The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.”
Gospodnje je to djelo - kakvo čudo u očima našim!”
12 Then [the Jewish leaders] realized that he was accusing them when he told this story [about what those wicked people did]. So they wanted to seize him. But they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that]. So they left him and went away.
I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva. Razumješe da je protiv njih izrekao prispodobu pa ga ostave i odu.
13 The [Jewish leaders] sent to [Jesus] some Pharisees [who thought that the Jews should pay only the tax that their own Jewish authorities required people to pay]. They also sent some members of the party that supported Herod [Antipas and the Roman government]. They wanted to make Jesus say something wrong [that would make one of those groups very angry with him].
I pošalju k njemu neke od farizeja i herodovaca da ga uhvate u riječi.
14 After they arrived, they said to him [deceivingly], “Teacher, we know that you [teach] the truth. We also know that you are not concerned about [what] people [say about you, even if an important person does not like what you say]. Instead, you teach truthfully what God wants [us to do]. So [tell us what you think about this matter: ] Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government, or not [MTY]? Should we pay the taxes, or should we not pay them?”
Oni dođu i kažu mu: “Učitelju, znamo da si istinit i ne mariš tko je tko jer nisi pristran, nego po istini učiš putu Božjemu. Je li dopušteno dati porez caru ili nije? Da damo ili da ne damo?”
15 Jesus knew that they did not really want to know [what God wanted them to do]. So he said to them, “(I [know that] you are [just] trying to make me say something wrong for which you can arrest me./Why are you [just] trying to make me say something wrong for which you can arrest me?) [RHQ] [But I will answer your question anyway]. Bring me a coin so that I might [ask you something after] I look at it.”
A on im reče prozirući njihovo licemjerje: “Što me iskušavate? Donesite mi denar da vidim!”
16 After they brought him a coin, he asked them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?” They replied, “It is a picture and the name of Caesar, [the man who rules the Roman government].”
Oni doniješe. I reče im: “Čija je ovo slika i natpis?” A oni će mu: “Carev.”
17 Then Jesus said to them, “[That is correct, so] give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].” They were [frustrated at his answer but] amazed at what he said, [because they were not able to accuse him of anything because of what he said].
A Isus im reče: “Caru podajte carevo, a Bogu Božje!” I divili su mu se.
18 [Men who belong to the] Sadducee [sect] deny that people become alive again after they die. [In order to discredit] Jesus [by ridiculing the idea that people will live again, some of] them came to him and asked him,
Dođu k njemu saduceji, koji vele da nema uskrsnuća, i upitaju ga:
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] that if a man who has no children dies, his brother should marry the dead man’s widow. [Then if those two bear children, everyone will consider that those children are the] children of the man who died, [and in that way the dead man will continue to have descendants].
“Učitelju, Mojsije nam napisa: Umre li čiji brat i ostavi ženu, a ne ostavi djeteta, neka njegov brat uzme tu ženu te podigne porod bratu svomu.
20 [So here is an example]. There were seven boys [in one family]. The oldest one married [a woman], but [he and his wife] did not bear any children. Then he [later] died.
Sedmero braće bijaše. Prvi uze ženu i umrije ne ostavivši poroda.
21 The second [brother followed this law and] married that woman and he, too, did not bear any children. Then he [later] died. The third [brother did] like [his other brothers did. But he also did not bear any children, and later died].
I drugi je uze te umrije ne ostavivši poroda. I treći jednako tako.
22 Eventually all seven [brothers married that woman, one by one], but they had no children, and one by one they died. Afterwards the woman died, too.
I sedmorica ne ostaviše poroda. Najposlije i žena umrije.
23 Therefore, [if it were true what some people say, that people will become alive again after they die], whose wife do you think that woman will be when people become alive again? ([Keep in mind that] she was married to all seven [brothers]!/She was married to all seven [brothers, so how can anyone decide] [RHQ]?)”
Komu će biti žena o uskrsnuću, kad uskrsnu? Jer sedmorica su je imala za ženu.”
24 Jesus replied to them, “You are certainly wrong [RHQ]. You do not know [what they have written in] the Scriptures [about this]. You also do not understand God’s power [to make people alive again].
Reče im Isus: “Niste li u zabludi zbog toga što ne razumijete Pisama ni sile Božje?
25 [That woman will not be the wife of any of them], because when people have become alive again, instead of men having wives and women having husbands, they will be like the angels in heaven, [who do not marry].
Ta kad od mrtvih ustaju, niti se žene niti udavaju, nego su kao anđeli na nebesima.
26 But as to people becoming alive again after they die, in the book that Moses [wrote, he said something about people who have died] that I am sure that you have read [RHQ]. When Moses [was looking at] the bush [that was burning], God said to him, ‘I am the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].’
A što se tiče mrtvih, da ustaju, niste li čitali u knjizi Mojsijevoj ono o grmu, kako Mojsiju reče Bog: Ja sam Bog Abrahamov i Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev?
27 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we know their spirits were still alive]! So your [claim that dead people do not become alive again] is very wrong.”
Nije on Bog mrtvih, nego živih. Uvelike se varate.”
28 A man who taught the [Jewish] laws heard their discussion. He knew that Jesus answered the question well. So he stepped forward and asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the most important?”
Tada pristupi jedan od pismoznanaca koji je slušao njihovu raspravu. Vidjevši da im je dobro odgovorio, upita ga: “Koja je zapovijed prva od sviju?”
29 Jesus answered, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, [you people of] Israel! [You must worship] the Lord, our God, our only Lord.
Isus odgovori: “Prva je: Slušaj, Izraele! Gospodin Bog naš Gospodin je jedini.
30 [You must show that you love him in all the ways that you live] Show it in all that you want and feel, in all that you think, and in all that you do!’
Zato ljubi Gospodina Boga svojega iz svega srca svojega, i iz sve duše svoje, i iz svega uma svoga, i iz sve snage svoje!”
31 The next [most important commandment] is: ‘You must love people you come in contact with as much as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more important than these two!”
“Druga je: Ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga. Nema druge zapovijedi veće od tih.”
32 The man said to Jesus, “Teacher, [you have answered] well. You correctly said that he is the only [God] and that there is no other God [we must worship/obey].
Nato će mu pismoznanac: “Dobro, učitelju! Po istini si kazao: On je jedini, nema drugoga osim njega.
33 You have also said correctly that we ([should/must show that we]) love God by all that we are, by all that we think, and by the way that we live. And you have said correctly that we must love (people with whom we come in contact/others) as much as we love ourselves. And you have also implied that doing these things [pleases God] more than offering/giving animals to him or burning [other] sacrifices.”
Njega ljubiti iz svega srca, iz svega razuma i iz sve snage i ljubiti bližnjega kao sebe samoga - više je nego sve paljenice i žrtve.”
34 Jesus realized that this man had answered wisely. So he said to him, “[I perceive that] you will soon [decide to let] God rule your life.” After that, [the Jewish leaders] were afraid to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
Kad Isus vidje kako je pametno odgovorio, reče mu: “Nisi daleko od kraljevstva Božjega!” I nitko se više nije usuđivao pitati ga.
35 [Later], while he was teaching in the Temple [courtyard], Jesus said [to the people], “These men who teach the [Jewish] laws, (they must be wrong when they say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David!/why do they say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David?) [RHQ]
A naučavajući u Hramu, uze Isus govoriti: “Kako pismoznanci kažu da je Krist sin Davidov?
36 The Holy Spirit caused David himself to say [about the Messiah], God said to my Lord, ‘Sit here beside me at the place where I will highly honor you! Sit here while I completely defeat your enemies! [MTY]’
A sam David reče u Duhu Svetome: Reče Gospod Gospodinu mojemu: 'Sjedni mi zdesna dok ne položim neprijatelje tvoje za podnožje nogama tvojim!'
37 Therefore, [because] David himself calls [the Messiah] ‘my Lord,’ (the Messiah cannot be [just] a man who descended [from King David!]/how can the Messiah be [just] a man who descended [from King David]?) [RHQ] [He must be much greater than David]”! Many people listened to him gladly [as he taught those things].
Sam ga David zove Gospodinom. Kako mu je onda sin?” Silan ga je svijet s užitkom slušao.
38 While Jesus was teaching [the people], he said to them, “Beware that you [do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They [like people to honor them, so] they put on long robes and walk around [in order to show people how important they are]. They also like people to greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
A on im u pouci svojoj govoraše: “Čuvajte se pismoznanaca, koji rado idu u dugim haljinama, vole pozdrave na trgovima,
39 [They like to sit] in the most important seats in our (synagogue/Jewish meeting place). At festivals, [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
prva sjedala u sinagogama i pročelja na gozbama;
40 They (swindle/take for themselves) the houses [and property] of widows by cheating them. [Then] they pretend [that they are good] by praying long prayers [publicly. God] will certainly punish them severely!”
proždiru kuće udovičke, još pod izlikom dugih molitava. Stići će ih to oštrija osuda!”
41 [Later], Jesus sat down [in the Temple courtyard opposite the boxes in which people put offerings. As he was sitting there], he watched as all the people put money in the box. Many rich people put in large amounts [of money].
Potom sjede nasuprot riznici te promatraše kako narod baca sitniš u riznicu. Mnogi bogataši bacahu mnogo.
42 Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins, which had a very small value.
Dođe i neka siromašna udovica i baci dva novčića, to jest jedan kvadrant.
43 He gathered his disciples around him and said to them, “The truth is that these other people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs. [So God considers that] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the other people!”
Tada dozove svoje učenike i reče im: “Doista, kažem vam, ova je sirota udovica ubacila više od svih koji ubacuju u riznicu.
Svi su oni zapravo ubacili od svoga suviška, a ona je od svoje sirotinje ubacila sve što je imala, sav svoj žitak.”
