< Matej 5 >

1 In ko je zagledal množice, se je povzpel na goro, in ko se je usedel, so k njemu prišli njegovi učenci
And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 in odprl je svoja usta ter jih učil, rekoč:
Then he opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
3 »Blagoslovljeni so ubogi v duhu, kajti njihovo je nebeško kraljestvo.
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blagoslovljeni so tisti, ki žalujejo, kajti potolaženi bodo.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
5 Blagoslovljeni so krotki, kajti podedovali bodo zemljo.
Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
6 Blagoslovljeni so tisti, ki so lačni in žejni pravičnosti, kajti nasičeni bodo.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
7 Blagoslovljeni so usmiljeni, kajti dosegli bodo usmiljenje.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
8 Blagoslovljeni so čisti v srcu, kajti videli bodo Boga.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
9 Blagoslovljeni so miritelji, kajti imenovani bodo Božji otroci.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
10 Blagoslovljeni so tisti, ki so preganjani zaradi pravičnosti, kajti njihovo je nebeško kraljestvo.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blagoslovljeni ste vi, ko vas bodo ljudje zasramovali in vas preganjali in bodo zaradi mene proti vam lažno govorili vse vrste zla.
"Blessed are you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Veselite se in bodite silno veseli, kajti velika je vaša nagrada v nebesih, kajti tako so preganjali preroke, ki so bili pred vami.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
13 Vi ste sol zemlje, toda če je sol izgubila svoj okus, s čim bo osoljena? Odslej ni dobra za nič, razen da je vržena proč in da jo ljudje pomendrajo.
"You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
14 Vi ste svetloba svetu. Mesto, ki je postavljeno na hribu, ne more biti skrito.
You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
15 Niti ljudje ne prižgejo sveče in je ne postavijo pod mernik, temveč na svečnik in ta daje svetlobo vsem, ki so v hiši.
Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
16 Naj vaša svetloba takó sveti pred ljudmi, da bodo lahko videli vaša dobra dela in proslavljali vašega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.
In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
17 Ne mislite, da sem prišel uničit postavo ali preroke; nisem prišel uničit, temveč izpolnit.
"Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 Kajti resnično, povem vam: ›Dokler nebo in zemlja ne preideta, ena pika ali en delček nikakor ne bosta izpuščena iz postave, dokler se vsa ne izpolni.‹
For truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
19 Kdorkoli bo torej prekršil eno od teh najmanjših zapovedi in bo tako učil ljudi, bo v nebeškem kraljestvu imenovan najmanjši, toda kdorkoli jih bo izpolnjeval in jih učil, isti bo v nebeškem kraljestvu imenovan velik.
Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 Kajti povem vam: ›Razen če vaša pravičnost ne bo presegla pravičnosti pisarjev in farizejev, v nobenem primeru ne boste vstopili v nebeško kraljestvo.‹
For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the kingdom of heaven.
21 Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno po teh iz starih časov: ›Ne boš ubil. Kdorkoli pa ubije, bo v nevarnosti sodbe.‹
"You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.
22 Toda povem vam: ›Da kdorkoli je brez razloga jezen na svojega brata, bo v nevarnosti sodbe, ‹ in kdorkoli bo svojemu bratu rekel: ›Raka, ‹ bo v nevarnosti pred vélikim zborom. Toda kdorkoli bo rekel: ›Ti bedak, ‹ bo v nevarnosti peklenskega ognja. (Geenna g1067)
But I tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Zatorej, če prineseš svoj dar k oltarju in se tam spomniš, da ima tvoj brat zoper tebe dolg,
"If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
24 pusti svoj dar tam pred oltarjem in pojdi svojo pot; najprej se pobotaj s svojim bratom in potem pridi ter daruj svoj dar.
leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
25 Hitro se dogovori s svojim nasprotnikom, medtem ko si z njim na poti, da te ne bi kadarkoli nasprotnik izročil sodniku, sodnik pa te izroči častniku in boš vržen v ječo.
Agree with your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
26 Resnično, povem ti: ›Nikakor ne prideš od tam, dokler ne odplačaš zadnjega novčiča.‹
Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
27 Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno po teh iz starih časov: ›Ne boš zagrešil zakonolomstva.‹
"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
28 Toda povem vam: ›Da kdorkoli s poželenjem pogleda na žensko, je v svojem srcu z njo že zagrešil zakonolomstvo.‹
but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29 In če te tvoje desno oko pohujšuje, ga iztakni in ga vrzi od sebe; kajti zate je koristno, da bi eden izmed tvojih udov propadel in ne, da bi tvoje celó telo moralo biti vrženo v pekel. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 In če te tvoja desnica pohujšuje, jo odsekaj in jo vrzi od sebe; kajti zate je koristno, da bi eden izmed tvojih udov propadel, ne pa da bi tvoje celó telo moralo biti vrženo v pekel. (Geenna g1067)
And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 Rečeno je bilo: ›Kdorkoli bo odslovil svojo ženo, naj ji dá pisanje o ločitvi.‹
"And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
32 Toda povem vam: ›Da kdorkoli bo odslovil svojo ženo, razen zaradi razloga prešuštva, ji povzroči, da ona zagreši zakonolomstvo; in kdorkoli bo poročil tisto, ki je ločena, zagreši zakonolomstvo.‹
but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
33 Ponovno, slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno po teh iz starih časov: ›Sebi ne boš prisegal krivo, temveč svoje prisege izpolni Gospodu.‹
"Again you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
34 Toda povem vam: ›Sploh ne prisegajte; niti pri nebesih, kajti to je Božji prestol,
But I tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
35 niti pri zemlji, kajti ta je njegova pručka, niti pri Jeruzalemu, kajti to je mesto vélikega Kralja.
nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
36 Niti ne prisegaj pri svoji glavi, ker niti enega lasu ne moreš narediti belega ali črnega.
Neither should you swear by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Toda vaš govor naj bo: ›Da, da; ‹ ›Ne, ne.‹ Kajti karkoli je več kakor to, prihaja od zla.
But let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
38 Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno: ›Oko za oko in zob za zob.‹
"You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.'
39 Toda povem vam: ›Da se ne upirajte zlu, temveč kdorkoli te bo udaril na tvoje desno lice, obrni k njemu tudi drugo.
But I tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 In če se hoče katerikoli človek pravdati s teboj na sodišču in ti odvzeti tvoj plašč, naj ima tudi tvoje ogrinjalo.
And if anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
41 In kdorkoli te prisili, da greš miljo, pojdi z njim dve.
And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
42 Daj tistemu, ki te prosi in pred tistim, ki bi si izposodil od tebe, se ne obrni proč.‹
Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
43 Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno: ›Ljubil boš svojega bližnjega in sovražil svojega sovražnika.‹
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
44 Toda jaz vam povem: ›Ljubíte svoje sovražnike, blagoslavljajte te, ki vas preklinjajo, delajte dobro tem, ki vas sovražijo in molíte za tiste, ki vas kruto izkoriščajo in vas preganjajo, ‹
But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
45 da boste lahko otroci svojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih, kajti on daje svojemu soncu, da vzhaja na zle in na dobre, ter pošilja dež na pravične in na nepravične.
that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
46 Kajti če ljubite te, ki vas ljubijo, kakšno nagrado imate? Ne delajo celó davkarji tako?
For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47 In če pozdravljate samo svoje brate, kaj delate več kakor drugi? Ne delajo celó davkarji tako?
And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
48 Bodite zato popolni, prav tako, kakor je popoln vaš Oče, ki je v nebesih.«
You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
