Matej 23
1 Tedaj je Jezus spregovoril množici in svojim učencem,
Then Jesus spoke to the crowds and to his disciples,
2 rekoč: »Pisarji in farizeji sedijo na Mojzesovem stolu.
saying, "Upon the seat of Moses the Pharisees and scribes sit.
3 Torej vse, karkoli vam ukažejo, obeležujte, to obeležujte in storite; toda ne delajte po njihovih delih, kajti oni govorijo, pa ne delajo.
All which they will say unto you, observe and do; but their works do not do, because they say, and do not do.
4 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.
For they bind heavy and hard to bear burdens, and lay them on people's shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
5 Toda vsa svoja dela počnejo zato, da bi jih ljudje videli. Širijo svoje molitvene jermene in povečujejo robove svojih oblek
But all their works they do to be seen by others. They make their tefillin broad and enlarge the fringe of their garments,
6 in radi imajo najpomembnejše prostore na zabavah ter vodilne sedeže v sinagogah
and love the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 in pozdrave na trgih ter da bi jih ljudje klicali: ›Rabi, Rabi.‹
the greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called 'Rabbi' by people.
8 Toda ne dajte se imenovati Rabi, kajti eden je vaš Učitelj, celó Kristus, vi vsi pa ste bratje.
But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for one is your Teacher, and all of you are brothers.
9 In na zemlji nobenega moža ne kličite vaš oče, kajti eden je vaš Oče, ki je v nebesih.
Call no man on the earth your father, for one is your Father, he who is in heaven.
10 Niti se ne dajte imenovati učitelji, kajti eden je vaš Učitelj, celó Kristus.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Christ.
11 Temveč kdor je med vami največji, naj bo vaš služabnik.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 In kdorkoli se bo poviševal, bo ponižan; in kdor bo sebe ponižal, bo povišan.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 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.
"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you devour the houses of widows, and for show make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
14 Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti vdovam goltate hiše in za pretvezo opravljate dolgo molitev; zatorej boste prejeli večjo obsodbo.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you shut up the kingdom of heaven in front of people; for you do not enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 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)
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you travel around by sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of hell as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Gorje vam, vi slepi vodniki, ki pravite: ›Kdorkoli bo prisegel pri templju, ni to nič; toda kdorkoli bo prisegel pri tempeljskem zlatu, je dolžnik!‹
"Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, 'Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.'
17 Vi bedaki in slepci. Kajti kaj je večje, zlato ali tempelj, ki posvečuje zlato?
You blind fools. For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctified the gold?
18 In: ›Kdorkoli bo prisegel pri oltarju, ni to nič; toda kdorkoli prisega pri daru, ki je na njem, je kriv.‹
'Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?'
19 Vi bedaki in slepci. Kajti kaj je večje, dar ali oltar, ki posvečuje dar?
You blind people. For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Kdorkoli bo torej prisegel pri oltarju, prisega pri njem in pri vseh stvareh na njem.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21 In kdorkoli bo prisegel pri templju, prisega pri njem in pri tistem, ki prebiva v njem.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who dwells in it.
22 In kdor bo prisegel pri nebesih, prisega pri Božjem prestolu in pri tistem, ki sedi na njem.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23 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.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Law: justice, mercy, and faith. But you ought to have done these, and not to have left the other undone.
24 Vi slepi vodniki, ki precejate komarja in požirate kamelo.
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Ker naredite zunanjost čaše in pladnja čisto, toda znotraj ste polni izsiljevanja in izgreda.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but within they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.
26 Ti slepi farizej, očisti najprej to, kar je znotraj čaše in pladnja, da bo tudi njuna zunanjost lahko čista.
You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and the plate, so that the outside may become clean also.
27 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.
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead people's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Točno tako se tudi vi navzven kažete ljudem pravične, toda znotraj ste polni hinavščine in krivičnosti.
Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to people, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Gorje vam, pisarji in farizeji, hinavci! Kajti prerokom gradite grobnice in okrašujete mavzoleje pravičnih,
"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the righteous,
30 in pravite: ›Če bi bili mi v dneh svojih očetov, ne bi bili z njimi soudeleženi pri prelivanju krvi prerokov.‹
and say, 'If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.'
31 Zatorej ste priče vam samim, da ste otroci teh, ki so morili preroke.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Napolnite torej mero svojih očetov.
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 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,
Therefore, look, I send to you prophets, wise people, and scribes. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
35 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.
that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berechiah, whom you killed between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Resnično, povem vam: ›Vse te stvari bodo prišle nad ta rod.‹
Truly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 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!
"Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her. How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not.
38 Glejte, vaša hiša je zapuščena, prepuščena vam.
Look, your house is abandoned to you.
39 Kajti povem vam: ›Odslej me ne boste več videli, dokler ne boste rekli: ›Blagoslovljen je, kdor prihaja v Gospodovem imenu.‹«
For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'"
