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.
In the mean time, when there was gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, so that they trampled one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the 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 covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall 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.
Therefore whatever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Vam, svojim prijateljem, pa pravim: ›Ne bojte se teh, ki ubijejo telo in nató ne morejo nič več storiti.‹
And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that 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 forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, who after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear 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 farthings, 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.
But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Prav tako vam pravim: ›Kdorkoli me bo priznal pred ljudmi, njega bo prav tako Sin človekov priznal pred Božjimi angeli, ‹
Also I say to you, Whoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
9 toda kdor me zanika pred ljudmi, bo zanikan pred Božjimi angeli.
But he that denieth me before men shall 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 whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but to him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
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 bring you to the synagogues, and before magistrates, and powers, be not anxious how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say:
12 kajti Sveti Duh vas bo v tej isti uri poučil, kaj morate reči.«
For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Eden iz skupine pa mu je rekel: »Učitelj, spregovori mojemu bratu, naj dediščino deli z menoj.«
And one of the company said to him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
14 Rekel mu je: »Človek, kdo me je naredil sodnika ali delivca nad vama?«
And he said to him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider 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 them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
16 In povedal jim je prispodobo, rekoč: »Zemlja nekega bogataša je obilno obrodila
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
17 in mislil si je sam pri sebi, rekoč: ›Kaj bom storil, ker nimam prostora, kamor bi spravil svoje sadove?‹
And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no place where to store my fruits?
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 barns, and build greater; and there will I store all my fruits and my goods.
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, Soul, thou hast many goods laid up for many years; take thy ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
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 fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
21 Tak je, kdor zaklade shranjuje zase, ni pa bogat pred Bogom.«
So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward 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 say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on.
23 Življenje je več kakor hrana in telo je več kakor oblačilo.
The life is more than food, and the body is more 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: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls?
25 In kdo izmed vas lahko z vznemirjanjem in skrbmi svoji postavi doda en komolec?
And which of you by being anxious can add to his stature one cubit?
26 Če torej niste zmožni storiti te stvari, ki je najmanj pomembna, zakaj se vznemirjate in skrbite za ostalo?
If ye then are not able to do that thing which is least, why are ye anxious for 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, they spin not; and yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed 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?
If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O ye of little faith?
29 In ne iščite, kaj boste jedli ali kaj boste pili niti ne bodite dvomljivega mišljenja.
And seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.
30 Kajti za vsemi temi stvarmi povprašujejo narodi sveta in vaš Oče ve, da imate potrebo za temi stvarmi.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Toda raje iščite Božje kraljestvo in vse te stvari vam bodo dodane.
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall 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 it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 what ye have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which become not old, a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.
34 Kajti kjer je vaš zaklad, tam bo tudi vaše srce.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Naj bodo vaša ledja opasana in vaše svetilke prižgane,
Let your loins be girt, 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 ye yourselves like men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he cometh and knocketh, 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.
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say to you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to eat, and will come forth 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 he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed 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, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Bodite torej tudi vi pripravljeni, kajti Sin človekov prihaja ob uri, za katero ne mislite.‹«
Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
41 Potem mu je Peter rekel: »Gospod, govoriš to prispodobo nam ali celó vsem?«
Then Peter said to him, Lord, speakest thou this parable to us, or even to all?
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?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
43 Blagoslovljen je tisti služabnik, ki ga bo njegov gospodar, ko pride, našel tako početi.
Blessed 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.
Truly I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath.
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 beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink, and to 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 when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
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 that servant, who knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, 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, and committed things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomever much is given, of him shall much be required: and to whom men have committed much, from him they will ask the more.
49 Prišel sem, da pošljem ogenj na zemljo in kako si želim, da bi bil ta prižgan?
I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it is already kindled?
50 Toda imam krst, da bom z njim krščen in kako sem omejen, dokler se to ne dovrši!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I constrained till it shall be accomplished!
51 Mislite, da sem prišel, da dam mir na zemljo? Povem vam: ›Ne, temveč prej razkol,
Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 kajti odslej jih bo v eni hiši pet razdeljenih, trije proti dvema in dva proti trem.
For from henceforth there shall be five in one house 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.‹
The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the 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 also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising in the west, immediately ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is.
55 In ko vidite pihati južni veter, pravite: ›Vroče bo, ‹ in tako se pripeti.
And when ye see the south wind blowing, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass.
56 Vi hinavci, lahko razpoznate obličje neba in zemlje, toda kako to, da ne razpoznate tega časa?
Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?
57 Da, in zakaj celó sami od sebe ne sodite, kar je prav?
Yea, and why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
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.
When thou goest with thy adversary to the magistrate, as thou art in the way, give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him; lest he drag thee before the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
59 Povem ti; ne boš odšel od tam, dokler ne odplačaš tudi zadnjega kovanca.«
I tell thee, thou shalt not depart from there, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
