Mateju 13
1 I onaj dan izišavši Isus iz kuæe sjeðaše kod mora.
That same day, when Jesus had left the house and was sitting by the sea,
2 I sabraše se oko njega ljudi mnogi, tako da mora uæi u laðu i sjesti; a narod sav stajaše po brijegu.
such great crowds gathered round him, that he got into a boat, and sat in it, while all the people stood on the beach.
3 I on im kaziva mnogo u prièama govoreæi: gle, iziðe sijaè da sije.
Then he told them many truths in parables. ‘The sower,’ he began, ‘went out to sow; and,
4 I kad sijaše, jedna zrna padoše kraj puta, i doðoše ptice i pozobaše ih;
as they were sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 A druga padoše na kamenita mjesta, gdje ne bijaše mnogo zemlje, i odmah iznikoše; jer ne bijaše u dubinu zemlje.
Some fell on rocky places, where it had not much soil, and, because the soil wasn’t deep, sprang up at once.
6 I kad obasja sunce, povenuše, i buduæi da nemahu žila, posahnuše.
As soon as the sun had risen, it was scorched, and, because their roots were not deep enough, withered away.
7 A druga padoše u trnje, i naraste trnje, i podavi ih.
Some, again, fell into the brambles; but the brambles shot up and choked it.
8 A druga padoše na zemlju dobru, i donošahu rod, jedno po sto, a jedno po šeset, a jedno po trideset.
Some, however, fell on good soil, and yielded a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.
9 Ko ima uši da èuje neka èuje.
Let those who have ears hear.’
10 I pristupivši uèenici rekoše mu: zašto im govoriš u prièama?
Afterwards his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Why do you speak to them in parables?’
11 A on odgovarajuæi reèe im: vama je dano da znate tajne carstva nebeskoga, a njima nije dano.
‘To you,’ answered Jesus, ‘the knowledge of the hidden truths of the kingdom of heaven has been imparted, but not to those.
12 Jer ko ima, daæe mu se, i preteæi æe mu; a koji nema, uzeæe mu se i ono što ima.
For, to all who have, more will be given, and they will have abundance; but, from all who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away.
13 Zato im govorim u prièama, jer gledajuæi ne vide, i èujuæi ne èuju niti razumiju.
That is why I speak to them in parables, because, though they have eyes, they do not see, and though they have ears, they do not hear or understand.
14 I zbiva se na njima proroštvo Isaijno, koje govori: ušima æete èuti, i neæete razumjeti; i oèima æete gledati, i neæete vidjeti.
In them is being fulfilled that prophecy of Isaiah which says – “You will hear with your ears without ever understanding, and, though you have eyes, you will see without ever perceiving,
15 Jer je odrvenilo srce ovijeh ljudi, i ušima teško èuju, i oèi su svoje zatvorili da kako ne vide oèima, i ušima ne èuju, i srcem ne razumiju, i ne obrate se da ih iscijelim.
for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.”
16 A blago vašijem oèima što vide, i ušima vašijem što èuju.
‘But blessed are your eyes, for they see, and your ears, for they hear;
17 Jer vam kažem zaista da su mnogi proroci i pravednici željeli vidjeti što vi vidite, i ne vidješe; i èuti što vi èujete, i ne èuše.
for I tell you that many prophets and good people have longed for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never saw them, and to hear the things which you are hearing, yet never heard them.
18 Vi pak èujte prièu o sijaèu:
‘Listen, then, yourselves to the parable of the sower.
19 Svakome koji sluša rijeè o carstvu i ne razumije, dolazi neèastivi i krade posijano u srcu njegovom: to je oko puta posijano.
When anyone hears the message of the kingdom without understanding it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in their mind. This is the person meant by the seed which was sown along the path.
20 A na kamenu posijano to je koji sluša rijeè i odmah s radosti primi je,
By the seed which was sown on rocky places is meant the person who hears the message, and at once accepts it joyfully;
21 Ali nema korijena u sebi, nego je nepostojan, pa kad bude do nevolje ili ga potjeraju rijeèi radi, odmah udari natrag.
but, as they have no root, they stand for only a short time; and, when trouble or persecution arises because of the message, they fall away at once.
22 A posijano u trnju to je koji sluša rijeè, no briga ovoga svijeta i prijevara bogatstva zaguše rijeè, i bez roda ostane. (aiōn g165)
By the seed which was sown among the brambles is meant the person who hears the message, but the cares of life and the glamour of wealth completely choke the message, so that it gives no return. (aiōn g165)
23 A posijano na dobroj zemlji to je koji sluša rijeè i razumije, koji dakle i rod raða, i donosi jedan po sto, a jedan po šeset, a jedan po trideset.
But by the seed which was sown on the good ground is meant the person who hears the message and understands it, and really yields a return, sometimes one hundred, sometimes sixty, sometimes thirty fold.’
24 Drugu prièu kaza im govoreæi: carstvo je nebesko kao èovjek koji posija dobro sjeme u polju svojemu,
Another parable which Jesus told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is compared to a person who sowed good seed in their field.
25 A kad ljudi pospaše, doðe njegov neprijatelj i posija kukolj po pšenici, pa otide.
But, while everyone was asleep, their enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away.
26 A kad nièe usjev i rod donese, onda se pokaza kukolj.
So, when the blades of corn shot up, and came into ear, the weeds made their appearance also.
27 Tada doðoše sluge domaæinove i rekoše mu: gospodaru! nijesi li ti dobro sjeme sijao na svojoj njivi? Otkuda dakle kukolj?
The owner’s servants came to them, and said “Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?”
28 A on reèe im: neprijatelj èovjek to uèini. A sluge rekoše mu: hoæeš li dakle da idemo da ga poèupamo?
“An enemy has done this,” was the owner’s answer. “Do you wish us, then,” they asked, “to go and gather them together?”
29 A on reèe: ne; da ne bi èupajuæi kukolj poèupali zajedno s njime pšenicu.
“No,” said he, “because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Ostavite neka raste oboje zajedno do žetve; i u vrijeme žetve reæi æu žeteocima: saberite najprije kukolj, i svežite ga u snoplje da ga sažežem; a pšenicu svezite u žitnicu moju.
Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.”’
31 Drugu prièu kaza im govoreæi: carstvo je nebesko kao zrno gorušièno koje uzme èovjek i posije na njivi svojoj,
Another parable which he told them was this – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a person took and sowed in his field.
32 Koje je istina najmanje od sviju sjemena, ali kad uzraste, veæe je od svega povræa, i bude drvo da ptice nebeske dolaze, i sjedaju na njegovijem granama.
This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that “the wild birds come and roost in its branches.”’
33 Drugu prièu kaza im: carstvo je nebesko kao kvasac koji uzme žena i metne u tri kopanje brašna dok sve ne uskisne.
This was another parable which Jesus related – ‘The kingdom of heaven is like some yeast which a woman took and covered up in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.’
34 Sve ovo u prièama govori Isus ljudima, i bez prièe ništa ne govoraše im:
Of all this Jesus spoke to the crowd in parables; indeed to them he used never to speak at all except in parables,
35 Da se zbude što je rekao prorok govoreæi: otvoriæu u prièama usta svoja, kazaæu sakriveno od postanja svijeta.
in fulfilment of these words in the prophet – “I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.”
36 Tada ostavi Isus ljude, i doðe u kuæu. I pristupiše k njemu uèenici njegovi govoreæi: kaži nam prièu o kukolju na njivi.
Then Jesus left the crowd, and went into the house. Presently his disciples came to him, and said, ‘Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.’
37 A on odgovarajuæi reèe im: koji sije dobro sjeme ono je sin èovjeèij;
He answered, ‘The sower of the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 A njiva je svijet; a dobro sjeme sinovi su carstva, a kukolj sinovi su zla;
The field is the world. By the good seed is meant the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the wicked,
39 A neprijatelj koji ga je posijao jest ðavo; a žetva je pošljedak ovoga vijeka; a žeteoci su anðeli. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest time is the close of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Kako što se dakle kukolj sabira, i ognjem sažiže, tako æe biti na pošljetku ovoga vijeka. (aiōn g165)
And, just as the weeds are gathered and burnt, so it will be at the close of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Poslaæe sin èovjeèij anðele svoje, i sabraæe iz carstva njegova sve sablazni i koji èine bezakonje.
The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will gather from his kingdom all that hinders and those who live in sin,
42 I baciæe ih u peæ ognjenu: ondje æe biti plaè i škrgut zuba.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Tada æe se pravednici zasjati kao sunce u carstvu oca svojega. Ko ima uši da èuje neka èuje.
Then will the righteous shine, like the sun, in the kingdom of their Father. If you have ears, listen.
44 Još je carstvo nebesko kao blago sakriveno u polju, koje našavši èovjek sakri i od radosti zato otide i sve što ima prodade i kupi polje ono.
‘The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field, which a person found and hid again, and then, in their delight, went and sold everything that they had, and bought that field.
45 Još je carstvo nebesko kao èovjek trgovac koji traži dobra bisera,
‘Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of choice pearls.
46 Pa kad naðe jedno mnogocjeno zrno bisera, otide i prodade sve što imaše i kupi ga.
Finding one of great value, they went and sold everything that they had, and bought it.
47 Još je carstvo nebesko kao mreža koja se baci u more i zagrabi od svake ruke ribe;
Or again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was cast into the sea, and caught fish of all kinds.
48 Koja kad se napuni, izvukoše je na kraj, i sjedavši, izbraše dobre u sudove, a zle baciše napolje.
When it was full, they hauled it up on the beach, and sat down and sorted the good fish into baskets, but threw the worthless ones away.
So will it be at the close of the age. The angels will go out and separate the wicked from the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 I baciæe ih u peæ ognjenu: ondje æe biti plaè i škrgut zuba.
and will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Reèe im Isus: razumjeste li ovo? Rekoše mu: da, Gospode.
‘Have you understood all this?’ Jesus asked. ‘Yes,’ they answered.
52 A on im reèe: zato je svaki književnik koji se nauèio carstvu nebeskome kao domaæin koji iznosi iz klijeti svoje novo i staro.
Then he added, ‘So every teacher of the Law, who has received instruction about the kingdom of heaven, is like a householder who produces from his stores things both new and old.’
53 I kad svrši Isus prièe ove, otide odande.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he withdrew from that place.
54 I došavši na postojbinu svoju, uèaše ih po zbornicama njihovijem tako da mu se divljahu, i govorahu: otkud ovome premudrost ova i moæi?
Going to his own part of the country, he taught the people in their synagogue in such a manner that they were deeply impressed. ‘Where did he get this wisdom?’ they said, ‘and the miracles?
55 Nije li ovo drvodjeljin sin? ne zove li se mati njegova Marija, i braæa njegova Jakov, i Josija, i Simon, i Juda?
Isn’t he the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
56 I sestre njegove nijesu li sve kod nas? Otkud njemu ovo sve?
And his sisters, too – are not they all living among us? Where, then did he get all this?’
57 I sablažnjavahu se o njega. A Isus reèe im: nema proroka bez èasti osim na postojbini svojoj i u domu svojemu.
These things proved a hindrance to their believing in him. But Jesus said, ‘A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.’
58 I ne stvori ondje èudesa mnogijeh za nevjerstvo njihovo.
He did not work many miracles there, because of their want of faith.
