Matthew 21
1 As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
Kad se približiše Jeruzalemu te dođoše u Betfagu, na Maslinskoj gori, posla Isus dvojicu učenika
govoreći: “Pođite u selo pred vama i odmah ćete naći privezanu magaricu i uz nju magare. Odriješite ih i dovedite k meni.
3 If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
Ako vam tko što rekne, recite: 'Gospodinu trebaju', i odmah će ih pustiti.”
4 When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
To se dogodi da se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku:
Recite kćeri Sionskoj: Evo kralj ti tvoj dolazi, krotak, jašuć na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.
6 So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
Učenici odu i učine kako im naredi Isus.
7 They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
Dovedu magaricu i magare te stave na njih haljine i Isus uzjaha na njih.
8 Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
Silan svijet prostrije svoje haljine po putu, a drugi rezahu grane sa stabala i sterahu ih po putu.
9 The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
Mnoštvo pak pred njim i za njim klicaše: “Hosana Sinu Davidovu! Blagoslovljen Onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje! Hosana u visinama!”
10 As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
Kad uđe u Jeruzalem, uskomešao se sav grad i govorio: “Tko je ovaj?”
11 The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
A mnoštvo odgovaraše: “To je Prorok, Isus iz Nazareta galilejskoga.”
12 Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
Isus uđe u Hram i izagna sve koji su prodavali i kupovali u Hramu. Mjenjačima isprevrta stolove i prodavačima golubova klupe.
13 Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
Kaže im: “Pisamo je: Dom će se moj zvati Dom molitve, a vi od njega činite pećinu razbojničku.”
14 After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
U Hramu mu priđoše slijepi i hromi i on ih ozdravi.
15 The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
A kad glavari svećenički i pismoznanci vidješe čudesa koja učini i djecu što viču Hramom: “Hosana Sinu Davidovu!”, gnjevni
16 [They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
mu rekoše: “Čuješ li što ovi govore?” Kaže im Isus: “Da! A niste li čitali: Iz usta djece i dojenčadi sebi si pripravio hvalu?”
17 Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
On ih ostavi, pođe iz grada u Betaniju te ondje prenoći.
18 Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
Ujutro se vraćao u grad i ogladnje.
19 He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
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)
20 [The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
Vidjevši to, učenici se začude: “Kako umah smokva usahnu!”
21 Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
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.
22 In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
I sve što zaištete u molitvi vjerujući, primit ćete.”
23 After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
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?”
24 Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
Isus im odgovori: “I ja ću vas jedno upitati. Ako mi na to odgovorite, ja ću vama kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.
25 Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
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?'
26 If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
A reknemo li 'Od ljudi', strah nas je mnoštva. Ta svi Ivana smatraju prorokom.”
27 So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
Zato odgovore Isusu: “Ne znamo.” I on njima reče: “Ni ja vama neću kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.”
28 [Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
“A što vam se čini? Čovjek neki imao dva sina. Priđe prvomu i reče: 'Sinko, hajde danas na posao u vinograd!'
29 But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
On odgovori: 'Neću!' No poslije se predomisli i ode.
30 Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
Priđe i drugomu pa mu reče isto tako. A on odgovori: 'Evo me, gospodaru!' i ne ode.
31 So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
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!
32 I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
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.”
33 “Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
“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.
34 When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
Kad se približilo vrijeme plodova, posla svoje sluge vinogradarima da uzmu njegov urod.
35 But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
A vinogradari pograbe njegove sluge pa jednoga istukoše, drugog ubiše, a trećega kamenovaše.
36 [So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
I opet posla druge sluge, više njih nego prije, ali oni i s njima postupiše jednako.”
37 Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
“Naposljetku posla k njima sina svoga misleći: 'Poštovat će mog sina.'
38 But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
Ali kad vinogradari ugledaju sina, rekoše među sobom: 'Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i imat ćemo baštinu njegovu!'
39 So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
I pograbe ga, izbace iz vinograda i ubiju.”
40 [Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
“Kada dakle dođe gospodar vinograda, što će učiniti s tim vinogradarima?”
41 [The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
Kažu mu: “Opake će nemilo pogubiti, a vinograd iznajmiti drugim vinogradarima što će mu davati urod u svoje vrijeme.”
42 Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
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!
43 So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
Zato će se - kažem vam - oduzeti od vas kraljevstvo Božje i dat će se narodu koji donosi njegove plodove! (
44 [The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
I tko padne na taj kamen, smrskat će se, a na koga on padne, satrt će ga.)”
45 When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
Kad su glavari svećenički i farizeji čuli te njegove prispodobe, razumjeli su da govori o njima.
46 They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva jer ga je smatralo prorokom.
