Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
I kad svrši Isus zapovijesti dvanaestorici uèenika svojijeh, otide odande dalje da uèi i da propovijeda po gradovima njihovijem.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
A Jovan èuvši u tamnici djela Hristova posla dvojicu uèenika svojijeh,
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
I reèe mu: jesi li ti onaj što æe doæi, ili drugoga da èekamo?
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
A Isus odgovarajuæi reèe im: idite i kažite Jovanu što èujete i vidite:
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
Slijepi progledaju i hromi hode, gubavi èiste se i gluhi èuju, mrtvi ustaju i siromašnima propovijeda se jevanðelje.
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
I blago onome koji se ne sablazni o mene.
7 As these went their way, 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?
A kad ovi otidoše, poèe Isus ljudima govoriti o Jovanu: šta ste izišli u pustinji da vidite? Trsku, koju ljulja vjetar?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Ili šta ste izišli da vidite? Èovjeka u meke haljine obuèena? Eto, koji meke haljine nose po carskijem su dvorovima.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Ili šta ste izišli da vidite? Proroka? Da, ja vam kažem, i više od proroka.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Jer je ovo onaj za koga je pisano: eto, ja šaljem anðela svojega pred licem tvojijem, koji æe pripraviti put tvoj pred tobom.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Zaista vam kažem: nijedan izmeðu roðenijeh od žena nije izišao veæi od Jovana krstitelja; a najmanji u carstvu nebeskome veæi je od njega.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
A od vremena Jovana krstitelja dosad carstvo nebesko na silu se uzima, i siledžije dobijaju ga.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Jer su svi proroci i zakon proricali do Jovana.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
I ako hoæete vjerovati, on je Ilija što æe doæi.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Koji ima uši da èuje neka èuje.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Ali kakav æu kazati da je ovaj rod? On je kao djeca koja sjede po ulicama i vièu svojijem drugovima,
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
I govore: svirasmo vam, i ne igraste; žalismo vam se, i ne jaukaste.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Jer Jovan doðe, koji ni jede ni pije, a oni kažu: ðavo je u njemu.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Doðe sin èovjeèij, koji i jede i pije, a oni kažu: gle èovjeka izjelice i pijanice, druga carinicima i grješnicima. I opravdaše premudrost djeca njezina.
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Tada poèe Isus vikati na gradove u kojima su se dogodila najveæa èudesa njegova, pa se nijesu pokajali:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
Teško tebi, Horazine! Teško tebi, Vitsaido! Jer da su u Tiru i Sidonu bila èudesa koja su bila u vama, davno bi se u vreæi i pepelu pokajali.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Ali vam kažem: Tiru i Sidonu lakše æe biti u dan strašnoga suda nego vama.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
I ti, Kapernaume! koji si se do nebesa podigao do pakla æeš propasti: jer da su u Sodomu bila èudesa što su u tebi bila, ostao bi do današnjeg dana. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Ali vam kažem da æe zemlji Sodomskoj lakše biti u dan strašnoga suda nego tebi.
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
U to vrijeme odgovori Isus, i reèe: hvalim te, oèe, Gospode neba i zemlje, što si ovo sakrio od premudrijeh i razumnijeh a kazao si prostima.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Da, oèe, jer je tako bila volja tvoja.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Sve je meni predao otac moj, i niko ne zna sina do otac; niti oca ko zna do sin i ako kome sin hoæe kazati.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Hodite k meni svi koji ste umorni i natovareni, i ja æu vas odmoriti.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Uzmite jaram moj na sebe, i nauèite se od mene; jer sam ja krotak i smjeran u srcu, i naæi æete pokoj dušama svojijem.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Jer je jaram moj blag, i breme je moje lako.
