Matthew 25
1 [Jesus continued by saying, “I will tell you something else about the time when I return from] heaven as king [MET]. [What will happen to many people who say that they know me will be] like [what happened to] ten virgins who took their lanterns and went to the place where they would meet a bridegroom [and go to his wedding celebration].
“Tada će kraljevstvo nebesko biti kao kad deset djevica uzeše svoje svjetiljke i iziđoše u susret zaručniku.
2 Five of the virgins were foolish and five of them were wise.
Pet ih bijaše ludih, a pet mudrih.
3 The [virgins] who were foolish took their lanterns, but they did not take any [extra olive] oil [for] the lantern.
Lude uzeše svjetiljke, ali ne uzeše sa sobom ulja.
4 But the [virgins] who were wise took oil in their flasks as well as in their lanterns.
Mudre pak zajedno sa svjetiljkama uzeše u posudama ulja.”
5 The bridegroom was delayed, [and it became late at night]. So all the virgins became sleepy and fell asleep.
“Budući da je zaručnik okasnio, sve one zadrijemaše i pozaspaše.
6 In the middle of the night someone [woke them up by] shouting, ‘Hey! The bridegroom [is arriving]! Go outside and meet him!’
O ponoći nasta vika: 'Evo zaručnika! Iziđite mu u susret!'
7 So all the virgins got up and trimmed their lantern wicks [so that they would burn properly].
Tada ustadoše sve one djevice i urediše svoje svjetiljke.
8 The foolish virgins said to the wise ones, ‘Give us some of your [olive] oil, because our lanterns are about to go out!’
Lude tada rekoše mudrima: 'Dajte nam od svoga ulja, gase nam se svjetiljke!'
9 The wise virgins replied, ‘[No, because] there might not be enough oil for our lanterns and for yours. Go to a store and buy some for yourselves!’
Mudre im odgovore: 'Nipošto! Ne bi doteklo nama i vama. Pođite radije k prodavačima i kupite!'”
10 But while [the foolish virgins] were going to buy [some oil], the bridegroom arrived. So the [wise virgins], who were ready, went with the bridegroom to the wedding hall [where the bride was waiting]. Then the door was closed {someone closed the door [of that hall]}.
“Dok one odoše kupiti, dođe zaručnik: koje bijahu pripravne, uđoše s njim na svadbu i zatvore se vrata.
11 Later, the rest of the virgins came [to the hall] and they called [to the bridegroom], ‘Sir, open [the door] for us!’
Poslije dođu i ostale djevice pa stanu dozivati: 'Gospodine! Gospodine! Otvori nam!'
12 But he said [to them], ‘The truth is that I do not know you, so I [will not open the door for you]!’”
A on im odgovori: 'Zaista kažem vam, ne poznam vas!'
13 [Then Jesus continued by saying], “So, in order that [this will not happen to you], keep expecting [that I will return], because you do not know when [MTY] [it will be].”
Bdijte dakle jer ne znate dana ni časa!”
14 “[When I return from heaven as king, I will deal with those who say that they have been serving me like] a man who was about to go on a long journey dealt with his servants. He called them together and gave them each some of his wealth [to invest and gain more money for him].
“Doista, kao kad ono čovjek, polazeći na put, dozva sluge i dade im svoj imetak.
15 He gave them money according to their ability [to take care of it]. [For example], he gave one servant 5,000 dollars, he gave another servant 2,000 dollars, and he gave another servant 1,000 dollars. Then he left on his journey.
Jednomu dade pet talenata, drugomu dva, a trećemu jedan - svakomu po njegovoj sposobnosti.
16 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars went immediately and used that money to gain 5,000 dollars more.
I otputova. Onaj koji je primio pet talenata odmah ode, upotrijebi ih i stekne drugih pet.
17 Similarly, the servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars gained two [thousand dollars] more.
Isto tako i onaj sa dva stekne druga dva.
18 But the servant who had received one [thousand dollars] went and dug a hole in the ground and hid the money there [to keep it safe].
Onaj naprotiv koji je primio jedan ode, otkopa zemlju i sakri novac gospodarov.”
19 After a long time the servants’ boss returned. He [called them together to] find out what they had done with his money.
“Nakon dugo vremena dođe gospodar tih slugu i zatraži od njih račun.
20 The servant who had received 5,000 dollars brought two [bags, each containing] 5,000 dollars. He said, ‘Boss, you gave me 5,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 5,000 more!’
Pristupi mu onaj što je primio pet talenata i donese drugih pet govoreći: 'Gospodaru! Pet si mi talenata predao. Evo, drugih sam pet talenata stekao!'
21 His boss replied, ‘[You are a very] good and faithful servant! [You have] done [very] well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
Reče mu gospodar: 'Valjaš, slugo dobri i vjerni! U malome si bio vjeran, nad mnogim ću te postaviti! Uđi u radost gospodara svoga!'”
22 The servant who had [received] 2,000 dollars also came and said, ‘Boss, you gave me 2,000 dollars to take care of. Look, I have gained 2,000 more!’
“Pristupi i onaj sa dva talenta te reče: 'Gospodaru! Dva si mi talenta predao. Evo, druga sam dva talenta stekao!'
23 His boss replied, ‘You are a [very] good and faithful servant! You have done very well! You have faithfully handled a small [amount of money], so I will put you in charge of a lot of things. Come and be happy with me!’
Reče mu gospodar: 'Valjaš, slugo dobri i vjerni! U malome si bio vjeran, nad mnogim ću te postaviti! Uđi u radost gospodara svoga.'”
24 Then the servant who had received 1,000 dollars came. He said, ‘Boss, I [was afraid of you]. I knew that you are a man who does not do foolish things with his money. [You even] take [from others money] that does not really belong to you, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where he did not even plant [the seeds].
“A pristupi i onaj koji je primio jedan talenat te reče: 'Gospodaru! Znadoh te: čovjek si strog, žanješ gdje nisi sijao i kupiš gdje nisi vijao.
25 So because I was afraid [of what you would do to me if I did not make a profit from my business], I went out and hid your 1,000 dollars in the ground [to keep it safe]. Here, this is [the money] that belongs to you!’
Pobojah se stoga, odoh i sakrih talenat tvoj u zemlju. Evo ti tvoje!'
26 His boss replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant! (You knew that I take [from others money] that does not really belong to me, [like a farmer who] harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]!/Did you not know that I [take from others money that does not really belong to me, like a farmer] who harvests [grain from another man’s field] where I did not even plant [the seeds]?) [RHQ]
A gospodar mu reče: 'Slugo zli i lijeni! Znao si da žanjem gdje nisam sijao i kupim gdje nisam vijao!
27 So then, you should have put my money [on deposit] in a bank, so that when I returned I would get it back with the interest [it earned]!’
Trebalo je dakle da uložiš moj novac kod novčara i ja bih po povratku izvadio svoje s dobitkom.'”
28 [Then the boss said to his other servants], ‘Take the 1,000 dollars from him, and give it to [the servant] who has the 10,000 dollars!
“'Uzmite stoga od njega talenat i podajte onomu koji ih ima deset.
29 To those who [use well what] they have [received, God] will give more, and they will have plenty. But from those who [do] not [use well what they have received], even what they [already] have will be taken away.
Doista, onomu koji ima još će se dati, neka ima u izobilju, a od onoga koji nema oduzet će se i ono što ima.
30 Furthermore, throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where he will be [with those who are] wailing and gnashing their teeth [because they are in much pain].’”
A beskorisnoga slugu izbacite van u tamu. Ondje će biti plač i škrgut zubi.'”
31 “When I, the one who came from heaven, come again, I will be very radiant and [bring] all my angels with me. Then I will sit as a king on my wonderful throne [to judge people].
“Kad Sin Čovječji dođe u slavi i svi anđeli njegovi s njime, sjest će na prijestolje slave svoje.
32 People from all nations [MTY] will be gathered in front of me {[The angels] will gather in front of me people from all nations}. Then I will separate them, one from another, as a shepherd separates his sheep from his goats.
I sabrat će se pred njim svi narodi, a on će ih jedne od drugih razlučiti kao što pastir razlučuje ovce od jaraca.
33 I will put [the righteous people] on my right and [the unrighteous ones on my left, as a] shepherd puts sheep [on one side] and goats [on the other side].
Postavit će ovce sebi zdesna, a jarce slijeva.”
34 Then I will say to those on my right, ‘You people who have been blessed by my Father {whom my Father has blessed}, come! From the time he created the world, he has been preparing to allow you to [receive the blessings that he will give to all those] who let him rule their lives. [Now is the time for] you to receive [those blessings]
“Tada će kralj reći onima sebi zdesna: 'Dođite, blagoslovljeni Oca mojega! Primite u baštinu Kraljevstvo pripravljeno za vas od postanka svijeta!
35 [They belong to you], because you gave me something to eat when I was hungry. (OR, [They belong to you]. It is as though you gave me something to eat when I was hungry.) You gave me something to drink when I was thirsty. When I was a stranger [in your town], you invited me [to stay] in [your houses].
Jer ogladnjeh i dadoste mi jesti; ožednjeh i napojiste me; stranac bijah i primiste me;
36 When I needed clothes [MTY], you gave me some. When I was sick, you took care of me. When I was in prison, you came to visit me.’
gol i zaogrnuste me; oboljeh i pohodiste me; u tamnici bijah i dođoste k meni.'”
37 Then the righteous people will reply, ‘Lord, when were you hungry and we saw you and gave you something to eat? When were you thirsty and we gave you something to drink?
“Tada će mu pravednici odgovoriti: 'Gospodine, kada te to vidjesmo gladna i nahranismo te; ili žedna i napojismo te?
38 When were you a stranger [in our town] and we invited you [to stay] in [our houses]? When did you need clothes and we gave you some?
Kada te vidjesmo kao stranca i primismo; ili gola i zaogrnusmo te?
39 When were you sick or in prison and we went to visit you?’ [We do not remember doing any of these things for you].
Kada te vidjesmo bolesna ili u tamnici i dođosmo k tebi?'
40 I will reply, ‘The truth is that whatever you did for any one of your fellow believers, even an unimportant one, [it was as though] you did it for me.’
A kralj će im odgovoriti: 'Zaista, kažem vam, što god učiniste jednomu od ove moje najmanje braće, meni učiniste!'”
41 Then I will say to those on my left, ‘You people who have been cursed [by God] {whom God has cursed}, leave me! Go into the eternal fire that God has prepared for (the devil/Satan) and his angels! (aiōnios g166)
“Zatim će reći i onima slijeva: 'Odlazite od mene, prokleti, u oganj vječni, pripravljen đavlu i anđelima njegovim! (aiōnios g166)
42 [It is right for you to go there], because you did not give me anything to eat when I was hungry. You did not give me anything to drink when I was thirsty.
Jer ogladnjeh i ne dadoste mi jesti; ožednjeh i ne dadoste mi piti;
43 You did not invite me into [your homes] when I was a stranger [in your town]. You did not give me any clothes when I needed them [MTY]. You did not take care of me when I was sick or in prison.’
stranac bijah i ne primiste me; gol i ne zaogrnuste me; bolestan i u tamnici i ne pohodiste me!'”
44 They will answer, ‘Lord, when were you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and we did not help you?’
“Tada će mu i oni odgovoriti: 'Gospodine, a kada te to vidjesmo gladna, ili žedna, ili stranca, ili gola, ili bolesna, ili u tamnici, i ne poslužismo te?'
45 I will reply, ‘The truth is that whenever you did not do anything to help any one of [my people], [even if they were] unimportant people, [it was as though] you did not do anything [to help] me.’
Tada će im on odgovoriti: 'Zaista, kažem vam, što god ne učiniste jednomu od ovih najmanjih, ni meni ne učiniste.'”
