Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Kaza im i prispodobu kako valja svagda moliti i nikada ne sustati:
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
“U nekom gradu bio sudac. Boga se nije bojao, za ljude nije mario.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
U tom gradu bijaše i neka udovica. Dolazila k njemu i molila: 'Obrani me od mog tužitelja!'
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
No on ne htjede zadugo. Napokon reče u sebi: 'Iako se Boga ne bojim nit za ljude marim, ipak,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
jer mi udovica ova dodijava, obranit ću je da vječno ne dolazi mučiti me.'”
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Nato reče Gospodin: “Čujte što govori nepravedni sudac!
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Neće li onda Bog obraniti svoje izabrane koji dan i noć vape k njemu sve ako i odgađa stvar njihovu?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Kažem vam, ustat će žurno na njihovu obranu. Ali kad Sin Čovječji dođe, hoće li naći vjere na zemlji?”
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Nekima pak koji se pouzdavahu u sebe da su pravednici, a druge potcjenjivahu, reče zatim ovu prispodobu:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
“Dva čovjeka uziđoše u Hram pomoliti se: jedan farizej, drugi carinik.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Farizej se uspravan ovako u sebi molio: 'Bože, hvala ti što nisam kao ostali ljudi: grabežljivci, nepravednici, preljubnici ili - kao ovaj carinik.'
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Postim dvaput u tjednu, dajem desetinu od svega što steknem.'
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
A carinik, stojeći izdaleka, ne usudi se ni očiju podignuti k nebu, nego se udaraše u prsa govoreći: 'Bože milostiv budi meni grešniku!'
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Kažem vam: ovaj siđe opravdan kući svojoj, a ne onaj! Svaki koji se uzvisuje, bit će ponižen; a koji se ponizuje, bit će uzvišen.”
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
A donosili mu i dojenčad da ih se dotakne. Vidjevši to, učenici im branili.
16 Jesus summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
A Isus ih dozva i reče: “Pustite dječicu neka dolaze k meni i ne priječite im jer takvih je kraljevstvo Božje.”
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
“Zaista, kažem vam, tko ne primi kraljevstva Božjega kao dijete, ne, u nj neće ući.”
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
I upita ga neki uglednik: “Učitelju dobri, što mi je činiti da baštinim život vječni?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Reče mu Isus: “Što me zoveš dobrim? Nitko nije dobar, doli Bog jedini.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’”
Zapovijedi znaš: Ne čini preljuba! Ne ubij! Ne ukradi! Ne svjedoči lažno! Poštuj oca svoga i majku!”
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
A onaj će: “Sve sam to čuvao od mladosti.”
22 When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Čuvši to, Isus mu reče: “Još ti jedno preostaje: sve što imaš prodaj i razdaj siromasima pa ćeš imati blago na nebu. A onda dođi i idi za mnom.”
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Kad je on to čuo, ražalosti se jer bijaše silno bogat.
24 Jesus, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Vidjevši ga, reče Isus: “Kako li je teško imućnicima u kraljevstvo Božje!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
Lakše je devi kroz uši iglene nego bogatašu u kraljevstvo Božje.”
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Koji su to čuli, rekoše: “Pa tko se onda može spasiti?”
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
A on će: “Što je nemoguće ljudima, moguće je Bogu.”
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Nato reče Petar: “Evo, mi ostavismo svoje i pođosmo za tobom.”
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Isus će im: “Zaista, kažem vam, nema ga tko bi ostavio kuću, ili ženu, ili braću, ili roditelje, ili djecu poradi kraljevstva Božjega,
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
I uzevši sa sobom dvanaestoricu, reče im: “Evo uzlazimo u Jeruzalem i na Sinu Čovječjem ispunit će se sve što su napisali proroci:
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
doista, bit će predan poganima, izrugan, zlostavljan i popljuvan;
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
i pošto ga izbičuju, ubit će ga, ali on će treći dan ustati.”
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
No oni ništa od toga ne razumješe. Te im riječi bijahu skrivene i ne shvaćahu što bijaše rečeno.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
A kad se približavao Jerihonu, neki slijepac sjedio kraj puta i prosio.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Čuvši gdje mnoštvo prolazi, raspitivao se što je to.
37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
Rekoše mu: “Isus Nazarećanin prolazi.”
38 He cried out, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Tada povika: “Isuse, Sine Davidov, smiluj mi se!”
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Oni ga sprijeda ušutkivali, ali on je još jače vikao: “Sine Davidov, smiluj mi se!”
40 Standing still, Jesus commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Isus se zaustavi i zapovjedi da ga dovedu k njemu. Kad se on približi, upita ga:
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
“Što hoćeš da ti učinim?” A on će: “Gospodine, da progledam.”
42 Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Isus će mu: “Progledaj! Vjera te tvoja spasila.”
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
I umah progleda i uputi se za njim slaveći Boga. I sav narod koji to vidje dade hvalu Bogu.
