Luke 16
1 He also said to his disciples, “There was a certain rich man who had a manager. An accusation was made to him that this man was wasting his possessions.
Govoraše i svojim učenicima: “Bijaše neki bogat čovjek koji je imao upravitelja.
2 He called him, and said to him, ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.’
Ovaj je bio optužen pred njim kao da mu rasipa imanje. On ga pozva pa mu reče: 'Što to čujem o tebi? Položi račun o svom upravljanju jer više ne možeš biti upravitelj!'
3 “The manager said within himself, ‘What will I do, seeing that my lord is taking away the management position from me? I don’t have strength to dig. I am ashamed to beg.
Nato upravitelj reče u sebi: 'Što da učinim kad mi gospodar moj oduzima upravu? Kopati? Nemam snage. Prositi? Stidim se.
4 I know what I will do, so that when I am removed from management, they may receive me into their houses.’
Znam što ću da me prime u svoje kuće kad budem maknut s uprave.'”
5 Calling each one of his lord’s debtors to him, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe to my lord?’
“I pozva dužnike svoga gospodara, jednog po jednog. Upita prvoga: 'Koliko duguješ gospodaru mojemu?' On reče: 'Sto bata ulja.'
6 He said, ‘A hundred batos of oil.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.’
A on će mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu, sjedni brzo, napiši pedeset.'
7 Then he said to another, ‘How much do you owe?’ He said, ‘A hundred cors of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your bill, and write eighty.’
Zatim reče drugomu: 'A ti, koliko ti duguješ?' On odgovori: 'Sto kora pšenice.' Kaže mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu i napiši osamdeset.'”
8 “His lord commended the dishonest manager because he had done wisely, for the children of this world are, in their own generation, wiser than the children of the light. (aiōn g165)
“I pohvali gospodar nepoštenog upravitelja što snalažljivo postupi jer sinovi su ovoga svijeta snalažljiviji prema svojima od sinova svjetlosti.” (aiōn g165)
9 I tell you, make for yourselves friends by means of unrighteous mammon, so that when you fail, they may receive you into the eternal tents. (aiōnios g166)
“I ja vama kažem: napravite sebi prijatelje od nepoštena bogatstva pa kad ga nestane da vas prime u vječne šatore.” (aiōnios g166)
10 He who is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much. He who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.
“Tko je vjeran u najmanjem, i u najvećem je vjeran; a tko je u najmanjem nepošten, i u najvećem je nepošten.
11 If therefore you have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
Ako dakle ne bijaste vjerni u nepoštenom bogatstvu, tko li će vam istinsko povjeriti?
12 If you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?
I ako u tuđem ne bijaste vjerni, tko li će vam vaše dati?”
13 No servant can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will hold to one and despise the other. You aren’t able to serve God and Mammon.”
“Nijedan sluga 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.”
14 The Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they scoffed at him.
Sve su to slušali farizeji, srebroljupci, i rugali mu se.
15 He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts. For that which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.
On im reče: “Vi se pravite pravedni pred ljudima, ali zna Bog srca vaša. Jer što je ljudima uzvišeno, odvratnost je pred Bogom.”
16 “The law and the prophets were until John. From that time the Good News of God’s Kingdom is preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
“Zakon i Proroci do Ivana su, a otada se navješćuje kraljevstvo Božje i svatko se u nj silom probija.
17 But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one tiny stroke of a pen in the law to fall.
Lakše će nebo i zemlja proći, negoli propasti i jedan potezić Zakona.”
18 “Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. He who marries one who is divorced from a husband commits adultery.
“Tko god otpusti svoju ženu pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub. I tko se god oženi otpuštenom, čini preljub.”
19 “Now there was a certain rich man, and he was clothed in purple and fine linen, living in luxury every day.
“Bijaše neki bogataš. Odijevao se u grimiz i tanani lan i danomice se sjajno gostio.
20 A certain beggar, named Lazarus, was taken to his gate, full of sores,
A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je sav u čirevima pred njegovim vratima
21 and desiring to be fed with the crumbs that fell from the rich man’s table. Yes, even the dogs came and licked his sores.
i priželjkivao nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Čak su i psi dolazili i lizali mu čireve.”
22 The beggar died, and he was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. The rich man also died and was buried.
“Kad umrije siromah, odnesoše ga anđeli u krilo Abrahamovo. Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan.
23 In Hades, he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far off, and Lazarus at his bosom. (Hadēs g86)
Tada u teškim mukama u paklu, podiže svoje oči te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i u krilu mu Lazara (Hadēs g86)
24 He cried and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue! For I am in anguish in this flame.’
pa zavapi: 'Oče Abrahame, smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da umoči vršak svoga prsta u vodu i rashladi mi jezik jer se strašno mučim u ovom plamenu.'
25 “But Abraham said, ‘Son, remember that you, in your lifetime, received your good things, and Lazarus, in the same way, bad things. But here he is now comforted and you are in anguish.
Reče nato Abraham: 'Sinko! Sjeti se da si za života primio dobra svoja, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti se mučiš.
26 Besides all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed, that those who want to pass from here to you are not able, and that no one may cross over from there to us.’
K tome između nas i vas zjapi provalija golema te koji bi i htjeli prijeći odavde k vama, ne mogu, a ni odatle k nama prijelaza nema.'”
27 “He said, ‘I ask you therefore, father, that you would send him to my father’s house—
“Nato će bogataš: 'Molim te onda, oče, pošalji Lazara u kuću oca moga.
28 for I have five brothers—that he may testify to them, so they won’t also come into this place of torment.’
Imam petero braće pa neka im posvjedoči da i oni ne dođu u ovo mjesto muka.'
29 “But Abraham said to him, ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’
Kaže Abraham: 'Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!'
30 “He said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if one goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’
A on će: 'O ne, oče Abrahame! Nego dođe li tko od mrtvih k njima, obratit će se.'
31 “He said to him, ‘If they don’t listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded if one rises from the dead.’”
Reče mu: 'Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Proroka, neće povjerovati sve da i od mrtvih tko ustane.'”
