Luka 12
1 Medtem ko je bila tam skupaj zbrana brezštevilna množica ljudstva, do take mere, da so stopali drug po drugem, je najprej začel govoriti svojim učencem: »Pazite se kvasa farizejev, ki je hinavščina.
And when great multitudes were assembled by myriads, so that they trod one upon another, Jesus began to say to his disciples: First of all, beware for yourselves of that leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Kajti nič ni prikrito, kar ne bo razkrito niti skrito, kar se ne bo izvedelo.
For there is nothing hidden, which will not be revealed; nor concealed, that will not be known.
3 Zatorej karkoli ste govorili v temi, bo slišano na svetlobi; in to, kar ste govorili v sobicah na ušesa, bo razglašeno na hišnih strehah.
For whatever ye speak in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what in secret chambers, ye whisper in the ear, will be proclaimed on the house-tops.
4 Vam, svojim prijateljem, pa pravim: ›Ne bojte se teh, ki ubijejo telo in nató ne morejo nič več storiti.‹
And to you, my friends, I say: Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and afterwards have nothing more they can do.
5 Toda posvaril vas bom, koga se bojte: ›Bojte se njega, ki ima, potem ko je ubil, oblast, da vrže v pekel.‹ Da, pravim vam: ›Bojte se ga.‹ (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you, of whom to be afraid: of him who, after he hath killed, hath authority to cast into hell. Yea, say I to you: be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Ali ni pet vrabcev prodanih za dva novčiča, pa niti eden izmed njih ni pozabljen pred Bogom?
Are not five sparrows sold for two assarii? and not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 Toda celó vsi lasje vaše glave so prešteti. Ne bojte se torej, vredni ste več kakor mnogo vrabcev.
And as for you, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; for ye are superior to many sparrows.
8 Prav tako vam pravim: ›Kdorkoli me bo priznal pred ljudmi, njega bo prav tako Sin človekov priznal pred Božjimi angeli, ‹
And I say to you, that every one that shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 toda kdor me zanika pred ljudmi, bo zanikan pred Božjimi angeli.
But he that shall deny me before men, shall himself be denied before the angels of God.
10 In kdorkoli bo govoril besedo zoper Sina človekovega, mu bo odpuščeno, toda tistemu, ki preklinja zoper Svetega Duha, ne bo odpuščeno.
And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall reproach the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.
11 In ko vas privedejo v sinagoge in k sodnikom in oblastem, se ne vznemirjajte in ne skrbite kakšno ali katero besedo boste odgovorili ali kaj boste rekli,
And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, before chiefs and men in authority, be not anxious how ye shall make defence, or what ye shall say;
12 kajti Sveti Duh vas bo v tej isti uri poučil, kaj morate reči.«
for the Holy Spirit will, in that hour, instruct you what to say.
13 Eden iz skupine pa mu je rekel: »Učitelj, spregovori mojemu bratu, naj dediščino deli z menoj.«
And one of the assembly said to him: Teacher, tell my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Rekel mu je: »Človek, kdo me je naredil sodnika ali delivca nad vama?«
But Jesus said to him: Man, who established me a judge and distributor over you?
15 In rekel jim je: »Pazite in čuvajte se pohlepnosti, kajti bistvo človeškega življenja ni v obilju stvari, ki jih poseduje.«
And he said to his disciples: Beware of all avarice, for life consisteth not in abundance of riches.
16 In povedal jim je prispodobo, rekoč: »Zemlja nekega bogataša je obilno obrodila
And he spoke to them a similitude: The land of a certain rich man brought forth produce in abundance.
17 in mislil si je sam pri sebi, rekoč: ›Kaj bom storil, ker nimam prostora, kamor bi spravil svoje sadove?‹
And he considered with himself, and said: What shall I do; for I have not where I can store up my produce?
18 Pa je rekel: ›To bom storil, podrl bom svoje skednje in zgradil večje in tja bom spravil vse svoje sadove in svoje dobrine.‹
And he said: This will I do; I will pull down my storehouses, and build them larger; and there will I store up all my corn and my good things:
19 Svoji duši pa bom rekel: ›Duša, veliko dobrin imaš spravljenih za mnogo let; vzemi si počitek, jej, pij in bodi vesela.‹
and I will say to my soul: My soul, thou hast good things in abundance, which are stored up for many years; take thy ease; eat, drink, and live in pleasure.
20 Toda Bog mu je rekel: ›Ti bedak, to noč bo tvoja duša zahtevana od tebe. Čigave bodo potem te stvari, ki si jih priskrbel?‹
But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee?
21 Tak je, kdor zaklade shranjuje zase, ni pa bogat pred Bogom.«
Such is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.
22 Svojim učencem pa je rekel: »Zatorej vam pravim: ›Ne vznemirjajte se in ne skrbite za svoje življenje, kaj boste jedli; niti za telo, kaj boste oblekli.
And he said to his disciples: Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for your body, what ye shall put on.
23 Življenje je več kakor hrana in telo je več kakor oblačilo.
For the life is more important than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Preudarite o krokarjih, kajti niti ne sejejo niti ne žanjejo; ki nimajo niti skladišča niti skednja, pa jih Bog hrani. Kako silno ste vi boljši kakor perjad?
Consider the ravens, which sow not, nor reap, nor have cellars and storehouses; yet God provideth them food. How much more important now are ye, than the birds!
25 In kdo izmed vas lahko z vznemirjanjem in skrbmi svoji postavi doda en komolec?
And which of you, by taking pains, can add one cubit to his stature?
26 Če torej niste zmožni storiti te stvari, ki je najmanj pomembna, zakaj se vznemirjate in skrbite za ostalo?
And if ye are impotent for that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
27 Preudarite lilije, kako rastejo; ne garajo, ne predejo in vendar vam jaz pravim, da Salomon v vsej svoji slavi ni bil oblečen kakor ena izmed teh.
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, nor do they spin. Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.
28 Če torej Bog tako oblači travo, ki je danes na polju in je jutri vržena v peč; kako mnogo bolj bo oblačil vas, oh vi maloverni?
And if God so clothe the herb, which to-day exists in the field, and to-morrow falls into the oven, how much more you, ye little in faith?
29 In ne iščite, kaj boste jedli ali kaj boste pili niti ne bodite dvomljivega mišljenja.
And inquire not, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor let your mind wander upon these things.
30 Kajti za vsemi temi stvarmi povprašujejo narodi sveta in vaš Oče ve, da imate potrebo za temi stvarmi.
For all these things the people of the world seek after; and your father knoweth that, for you also, these things are needful.
31 Toda raje iščite Božje kraljestvo in vse te stvari vam bodo dodane.
But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Ne bojte se, mali trop, kajti dobra volja vašega Očeta je, da vam da kraljestvo.
Fear not, little flock; for your Father is disposed to give you the kingdom
33 Prodajte, kar imate in dajte miloščino. Priskrbite si mošnje, ki ne ostarijo, zaklad v nebesih, ki ne izneveri, kjer se noben tat ne približa niti molj ne razkraja.
Sell your property, and give alms: make for yourselves bags that do not become old, and a treasure that is not transient, in the heavens; where no thief approacheth, and no moth eateth.
34 Kajti kjer je vaš zaklad, tam bo tudi vaše srce.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 Naj bodo vaša ledja opasana in vaše svetilke prižgane,
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning.
36 vi sami pa podobni ljudem, ki čakajo na svojega gospodarja, kdaj se bo vrnil s poroke, da kadar pride in potrka, mu lahko takoj odprejo.
And be ye like persons who are waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the house of feasting, that, when he shall come and knock, they may open to him immediately.
37 Blagoslovljeni so tisti služabniki, ki jih bo gospodar, ko pride, našel čuječe. Resnično, pravim vam, da se bo opasal in jih primoral, da se usedejo k obedu in bo prišel naprej ter jim stregel.
Happy are those servants, whom their lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. Verily I say to you: He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will pass around and serve them.
38 In če bo prišel ob drugi straži ali če pride ob tretji straži in jih najde takó, blagoslovljeni so tisti služabniki.
And if in the second watch, or in the third, he shall come and so find them, happy are those servants.
39 In vedite to, da če bi hišni oče vedel, katero uro bi prišel tat, bi stražil in ne bi dovolil, da bi bila njegova hiša vlomljena.
And this know ye, that if the lord of the house had known at what watch the thief would come, he would have been awake and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.
40 Bodite torej tudi vi pripravljeni, kajti Sin človekov prihaja ob uri, za katero ne mislite.‹«
Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
41 Potem mu je Peter rekel: »Gospod, govoriš to prispodobo nam ali celó vsem?«
Simon Cephas saith to him: Our Lord, speakest thou this similitude to us, or also to all men?
42 Gospod pa je rekel: »Kdo je potem tisti zvesti in modri oskrbnik, ki ga bo njegov gospodar naredil za vladarja nad njegovo družino, da jim ob pravšnjem obdobju da njihove deleže hrane?
Jesus said to him: Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will place over all his domestics, to give them their portion in due time?
43 Blagoslovljen je tisti služabnik, ki ga bo njegov gospodar, ko pride, našel tako početi.
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 Resnično vam povem, da ga bo naredil za vladarja nad vsem, kar ima.
Verily I say to you: He will place him over all his possessions.
45 Toda če pa ta služabnik v svojem srcu reče: ›Moj gospodar odlaša svoj prihod‹ in bo začel pretepati sluge in dekle, jesti in piti ter biti pijan,
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to smite the servants and the maidens of his lord; and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunk;
46 bo gospodar tega služabnika prišel na dan, ko ga ne pričakuje in ob uri, ki se je ne zaveda in ga bo razsekal narazen ter mu določil njegov delež z neverniki.
the lord of that servant will come in a day he thinketh not, and in an hour he knoweth not, and will cut him in two; and will assign him his portion with them that are unfaithful.
47 Ta služabnik pa, ki je poznal voljo svojega gospodarja in se ni pripravil niti ni storil glede na njegovo voljo, bo pretepen z mnogimi udarci biča.
And the servant that knew his lord's pleasure, and did not prepare for him according to his pleasure, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 Toda kdor ni vedel, pa je zagrešil stvari, vredne bičanja, bo pretepen z malo udarci biča. Kajti komurkoli je mnogo dano, se bo od njega mnogo zahtevalo, in komur so ljudje mnogo izročili, bodo od njega terjali tem več.
But he that knew not, yet did that which deserved stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, from him will much be required; and to whom much is committed, the more will be required at his hand.
49 Prišel sem, da pošljem ogenj na zemljo in kako si želim, da bi bil ta prižgan?
I have come to cast fire on the earth; and I would, that it already burned.
50 Toda imam krst, da bom z njim krščen in kako sem omejen, dokler se to ne dovrši!
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and I am much pressed until it be accomplished.
51 Mislite, da sem prišel, da dam mir na zemljo? Povem vam: ›Ne, temveč prej razkol,
Suppose ye, that I have come to produce tranquillity on the earth? I tell you, No: but division.
52 kajti odslej jih bo v eni hiši pet razdeljenih, trije proti dvema in dva proti trem.
For from this time, there will be five persons in one house, who will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Oče bo razdeljen proti sinu in sin proti očetu; mati proti hčeri in hči proti materi; tašča proti snahi in snaha proti svoji tašči.‹
For a father will be divided against his son, and a son against his father; a mother against her daughter, and a daughter against her mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Množici pa je rekel tudi: ›Ko vidite oblak dvigati se iz zahoda, nemudoma pravite: ›Dež prihaja, ‹ in tako se zgodi.
And he said to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising out of the west, ye at once say: Rain is coming; and it is so.
55 In ko vidite pihati južni veter, pravite: ›Vroče bo, ‹ in tako se pripeti.
And when a south wind bloweth, ye say: It will be hot: and it is so.
56 Vi hinavci, lahko razpoznate obličje neba in zemlje, toda kako to, da ne razpoznate tega časa?
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens and the earth; and why can ye not distinguish the present time?
57 Da, in zakaj celó sami od sebe ne sodite, kar je prav?
And why do ye not, of yourselves, judge correctly?
58 Ko greš s svojim nasprotnikom k oblastniku, ko si še na poti, se posveti prizadevanju, da boš lahko osvobojen pred njim; da te ta ne bi privlekel k sodniku in sodnik te izroči častniku, častnik pa te vrže v ječo.
And when thou goest with thy adversary to the ruler, while on the way, make effort to be released by him; lest he bring thee to the judge and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into prison.
59 Povem ti; ne boš odšel od tam, dokler ne odplačaš tudi zadnjega kovanca.«
For verily I say to thee: Thou wilt not come out thence, until thou pay the last mite.
