Matej 11
1 In pripetilo se je, ko je Jezus končal z naročanjem svojim dvanajsterim učencem, [da] je odšel od tam, da uči in oznanja v njihovih mestih.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Potem ko je Janez v ječi slišal Kristusova dela, je poslal dva izmed svojih učencev
Now when John had heard in the prison of the works of the Christ, he sent two of his disciples,
3 in [ta dva] sta mu rekla: »Ali si ti tisti, ki naj bi prišel ali naj pričakujemo drugega?«
and said to him: Art thou he that was to come, or must we look for another?
4 Jezus je odgovoril in jima rekel: »Pojdita in Janezu ponovno izpričajta te stvari, ki jih slišita in vidita:
And Jesus answered and said to them: Go and tell John what you hear and see.
5 ›Slepi prejemajo svoj vid in hromi hodijo, gobavi so očiščeni in gluhi slišijo, mrtvi so obujeni in revnim se oznanja evangelij.
The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear; the dead are raised, and the poor have the gospel preached to them;
6 In blagoslovljen je tisti, ki v meni ne bo pohujšan.‹«
and blessed is he that shall find in me no cause of offense.
7 Ko sta odšla, je Jezus začel množicam govoriti glede Janeza: »Kaj ste odšli gledat ven v divjino? Trst, ki se maje z vetrom?«
As these were going away, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
8 Toda kaj ste šli ven, da bi videli? Moža, oblečenega v mehka oblačila? Glejte, tisti, ki nosijo mehka oblačila, so v kraljevih hišah.
But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings houses.
9 Toda kaj ste šli ven, da bi videli? Preroka? Da, povem vam in več kakor preroka.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
10 Kajti ta je tisti, o katerem je pisano: ›Glejte, pošljem svojega poslanca pred tvojim obrazom, ki bo pripravil tvojo pot pred teboj.‹
For this is he of whom it is written: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.
11 Resnično, povem vam: ›Med temi, ki so rojeni iz žensk, ni bil obujen večji kakor Janez Krstnik, vendar kdor je v nebeškem kraljestvu najmanjši, je večji kakor on.‹
Verily, I say to you, Among those born of women, there has not risen a greater than John the Immerser. But the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
12 In od dni Janeza Krstnika do sedaj nebeško kraljestvo trpi nasilje in nasilni ga zavzemajo s silo.
From the days of John the Immerser till now, the kingdom of heaven is taken by violence, and men of violence seize upon it eagerly.
13 Kajti vsi preroki in postava so prerokovali do Janeza.
For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John;
14 In če boste to sprejeli, to je Elija, ki je moral priti.
and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah that was to come.
15 Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj posluša.
He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 Toda s kom bom primerjal ta rod? Podoben je otrokom, ki sedijo po trgih in kličejo svojim rojakom
But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, and calling to their companions,
17 ter govorijo: ›Piskali smo vam, pa niste plesali; objokovali smo vam, pa niste žalovali.‹
and saying: We have played on the pipe for you, and you have not danced; we have wailed for you, and you have not lamented.
18 Kajti Janez je prišel, niti ni jedel, niti ni pil, pa pravijo: ›Hudiča ima.‹
For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say: He has a demon.
19 Sin človekov je prišel in jé in pije, pa pravijo: ›Glejte, požrešen človek in vinski bratec, prijatelj davkarjev in grešnikov.‹ Toda modrost je opravičena po svojih otrocih.«
The Son of man has come eating and drinking, and they say: Behold, a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners. Yet wisdom is vindicated by her children.
20 Tedaj je začel oštevati mesta, v katerih je bila storjena večina njegovih mogočnih del, ker se nista pokesala:
Then he began to reprove the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 »›Gorje ti, Horazín! Gorje ti, Betsajda! Kajti če bi se mogočna dela, ki so bila storjena v vama, storila v Tiru in Sidónu, bi se že davno pokesala v vrečevini in pepelu.‹
Alas for thee, Chorazin! alas for thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works which have been clone in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Toda povem vam: ›Bolj znosno bo na dan sodbe za Tir in Sidón, kakor vama.
But I say to you, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, than for you.
23 In ti, Kafarnáum, ki si bil vzvišen do neba, boš priveden navzdol do pekla; kajti če bi se mogočna dela, ki so bila storjena v tebi, zgodila v Sódomi, bi preostala do današnjega dne.‹ (Hadēs g86)
And thou, Capernaum, that hast been exalted to heaven, shalt be brought down to hades. For if the mighty works which have been done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained till this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Toda povem ti: ›Da bo na dan sodbe bolj znosno za sódomsko deželo kakor zate.‹«
But I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 Ob tistem času je Jezus odgovoril in rekel: »Zahvaljujem se tebi, oh Oče, Gospodar neba in zemlje, ker si te stvari skril pred modrimi in razsodnimi, razodel pa si jih otročičem.
At that time Jesus answered and said: I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and of earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
26 Točno tako, Oče, kajti tako se je zdelo dobro v tvojih očeh.
Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27 Vse stvari so mi izročene od mojega Očeta in noben človek ne pozna Sina, razen Očeta, niti noben človek ne pozna Očeta, razen Sina in tega komurkoli ga bo Sin razodel.
All things have been delivered to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son, but the Father; nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.
28 Pridite k meni vsi vi, ki se trudite in ste težko obremenjeni in dal vam bom počitek.
Come to me, all you that are weary, and heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Vzemite nase moj jarem in se učite od mene, ker sem krotak in ponižen v srcu, in našli boste počitek svojim dušam.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.
30 Kajti moj jarem je udoben in moje breme je lahko.«
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
