Matthew 23
1 Then spake Jesus to the people and to his disciples, saying,
Tedaj je Jezus spregovoril množici in svojim učencem,
2 The scribes and pharisees sit in the seat of Moses:
rekoč: »Pisarji in farizeji sedijo na Mojzesovem stolu.
3 observe therefore and do all things whatsoever they tell you to observe; but do not ye according to their works, for they say and do not:
Torej vse, karkoli vam ukažejo, obeležujte, to obeležujte in storite; toda ne delajte po njihovih delih, kajti oni govorijo, pa ne delajo.
4 for they bind grievous and intolerable burthens, and impose them upon men; but they themselves will not put a finger to them:
Kajti vežejo težka bremena in bridka za prenašanje in jih polagajo ljudem na ramena, toda [sami] jih niti z enim izmed svojih prstov nočejo premakniti.
5 but they do all their works to be seen by men; they make their phylacteries broad, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,
Toda vsa svoja dela počnejo zato, da bi jih ljudje videli. Širijo svoje molitvene jermene in povečujejo robove svojih oblek
6 and love the uppermost places at feasts,
in radi imajo najpomembnejše prostore na zabavah ter vodilne sedeže v sinagogah
7 and the chief seats in the synagogues, and salutations in public assemblies, and to be called by men Rabbi, Rabbi.
in pozdrave na trgih ter da bi jih ljudje klicali: ›Rabi, Rabi.‹
8 But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your instructor even Christ, and ye are all brethren.
Toda ne dajte se imenovati Rabi, kajti eden je vaš Učitelj, celó Kristus, vi vsi pa ste bratje.
9 Neither call any man upon earth Father; for one is your Father, who is in heaven:
In na zemlji nobenega moža ne kličite vaš oče, kajti eden je vaš Oče, ki je v nebesih.
10 neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, even Christ.
Niti se ne dajte imenovati učitelji, kajti eden je vaš Učitelj, celó Kristus.
11 But let him that is greatest among you be your minister: and whosoever will exalt himself shall be abased,
Temveč kdor je med vami največji, naj bo vaš služabnik.
12 and whosoever will humble himself shall be exalted.
In kdorkoli se bo poviševal, bo ponižan; in kdor bo sebe ponižal, bo povišan.
13 But wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, who shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, nor suffer those that are entering to go in.
Toda gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti nebeško kraljestvo ste zaprli pred ljudmi, kajti sami ne greste noter niti tem, ki vstopajo, ne dovolite, da bi šli noter.
14 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; for ye devour widows houses, and for a cover make long prayers: therefore ye shall receive the heavier judgement.
Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti vdovam goltate hiše in za pretvezo opravljate dolgo molitev; zatorej boste prejeli večjo obsodbo.
15 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites: for ye compass sea and land to make a proselyte, and when he is gained, ye make him more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti obidete morje in zemljo, da naredite enega spreobrnjenca in ko je narejen, ga naredite dvakrat bolj otroka pekla, kakor ste sami. (Geenna g1067)
16 Wo unto you, ye blind guides, who say, If any one swear by the temple, it is nothing;
Gorje vam, vi slepi vodniki, ki pravite: ›Kdorkoli bo prisegel pri templju, ni to nič; toda kdorkoli bo prisegel pri tempeljskem zlatu, je dolžnik!‹
17 but if any man swear by the gold of the temple, the oath is binding. Foolish and blind creatures! for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifieth the gold?
Vi bedaki in slepci. Kajti kaj je večje, zlato ali tempelj, ki posvečuje zlato?
18 And, If any one swear by the altar, it is nothing; but if any one swear by the gift upon it, he is bound.
In: ›Kdorkoli bo prisegel pri oltarju, ni to nič; toda kdorkoli prisega pri daru, ki je na njem, je kriv.‹
19 O foolish and blind! for which is greater, the gift, or the altar which sanctifieth the gift?
Vi bedaki in slepci. Kajti kaj je večje, dar ali oltar, ki posvečuje dar?
20 He then, that sweareth by the altar, sweareth by it and by all things upon it:
Kdorkoli bo torej prisegel pri oltarju, prisega pri njem in pri vseh stvareh na njem.
21 and he, that sweareth by the temple, sweareth by it, and by Him that dwelleth in it:
In kdorkoli bo prisegel pri templju, prisega pri njem in pri tistem, ki prebiva v njem.
22 and he, that sweareth by heaven, sweareth by the throne of God, and by Him that sitteth upon it.
In kdor bo prisegel pri nebesih, prisega pri Božjem prestolu in pri tistem, ki sedi na njem.
23 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites, who tithe even your mint, and anise, and cummin, but neglect the weightier matters of the law, judgement, mercy, and fidelity: these ye ought undoubtedly to practise, and not to omit the others.
Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti plačujete desetino od mete in janeža in kumine, zanemarili pa ste pomembnejše zadeve iz postave, sodbo, usmiljenje in vero. Te bi morali storiti in ne pustiti drugih nenarejenih.
24 Blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
Vi slepi vodniki, ki precejate komarja in požirate kamelo.
25 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; for ye clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but within they are full of rapine and intemperance:
Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Ker naredite zunanjost čaše in pladnja čisto, toda znotraj ste polni izsiljevanja in izgreda.
26 thou blind pharisee, cleanse first the inside of the cup and of the dish, that the outside of them may be also clean.
Ti slepi farizej, očisti najprej to, kar je znotraj čaše in pladnja, da bo tudi njuna zunanjost lahko čista.
27 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; who are like whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful without, but within are full of the bones of the dead, and all manner of filthiness;
Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti podobni ste pobeljenim mavzolejem, ki so na zunaj videti zares krasni, toda znotraj so polni kosti mrtvih ljudi in vse nečistosti.
28 so do ye likewise outwardly appear to men to be righteous, but within are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Točno tako se tudi vi navzven kažete ljudem pravične, toda znotraj ste polni hinavščine in krivičnosti.
29 Wo unto you scribes and pharisees, hypocrites; who build the tombs of the prophets, and adorn the monuments of the just,
Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti prerokom gradite grobnice in okrašujete mavzoleje pravičnih,
30 and say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been concerned with them in shedding the blood of the prophets:
in pravite: ›Če bi bili mi v dneh svojih očetov, ne bi bili z njimi soudeleženi pri prelivanju krvi prerokov.‹
31 so that ye are witnesses yourselves, that ye are the children of those who killed the prophets:
Zatorej ste priče vam samim, da ste otroci teh, ki so morili preroke.
32 fill up then the measure of your fathers, ye serpents, ye brood of vipers:
Napolnite torej mero svojih očetov.
Vi kače, vi gadji rod, kako lahko pobegnete obsodbi na pekel? (Geenna g1067)
34 For behold I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes; and some of them ye will kill and crucify, and some of them ye will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
Zatorej glejte, k vam pošiljam preroke in modre može ter pisarje. In nekatere izmed njih boste ubili in križali; in nekatere izmed njih boste bičali v svojih sinagogah in jih preganjali od mesta do mesta,
35 that upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel, to the blood of Zacharias the son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
da lahko pride nad vas vsa pravična kri, prelita na zemlji, od krvi pravičnega Abela, do krvi Zaharija, Berehjájevega sina, ki ste ga umorili med templjem in oltarjem.
36 Verily I tell you, all these things shall come upon this generation.
Resnično, povem vam: ›Vse te stvari bodo prišle nad ta rod.‹
37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
Oh Jeruzalem, Jeruzalem, ti, ki ubijaš preroke in kamnaš tiste, ki so poslani k tebi, kako pogosto sem hotel zbrati skupaj tvoje otroke, prav tako kakor koklja zbira svoje piščance pod svoje peruti, pa niste hoteli!
38 Behold your house shall be left you desolate:
Glejte, vaša hiša je zapuščena, prepuščena vam.
39 for I tell you, ye shall not see me after this, till ye shall say, Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Kajti povem vam: ›Odslej me ne boste več videli, dokler ne boste rekli: ›Blagoslovljen je, kdor prihaja v Gospodovem imenu.‹«
