Luka 16
1 Govoraše i svojim učenicima: “Bijaše neki bogat čovjek koji je imao upravitelja.
Jesus said to his disciples: “There was a rich man who had a steward; and this steward was maliciously accused to him of wasting his estate.
2 Ovaj je bio optužen pred njim kao da mu rasipa imanje. On ga pozva pa mu reče: 'Što to čujem o tebi? Položi račun o svom upravljanju jer više ne možeš biti upravitelj!'
So the master called him and said ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give in your accounts, for you cannot act as steward any longer.’
3 Nato upravitelj reče u sebi: 'Što da učinim kad mi gospodar moj oduzima upravu? Kopati? Nemam snage. Prositi? Stidim se.
‘What am I to do,’ the steward asked himself, ‘now that my master is taking the steward’s place away from me? I have not strength to dig, and I am ashamed to beg.
4 Znam što ću da me prime u svoje kuće kad budem maknut s uprave.'”
I know what I will do, so that, as soon as I am turned out of my stewardship, people may welcome me into their homes.’
5 “I pozva dužnike svoga gospodara, jednog po jednog. Upita prvoga: 'Koliko duguješ gospodaru mojemu?' On reče: 'Sto bata ulja.'
One by one he called up his master’s debtors. ‘How much do you owe my master?’ he asked of the first.
6 A on će mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu, sjedni brzo, napiši pedeset.'
‘Four hundred and forty gallons of oil,’ answered the man. ‘Here is your agreement,’ he said; ‘sit down at once and make it two hundred and twenty.’
7 Zatim reče drugomu: 'A ti, koliko ti duguješ?' On odgovori: 'Sto kora pšenice.' Kaže mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu i napiši osamdeset.'”
And you, the steward said to the next, ‘how much do you owe?’ ‘Seventy quarters of wheat,’ he replied. ‘Here is your agreement,’ the steward said; ‘make it fifty-six.’
8 “I pohvali gospodar nepoštenog upravitelja što snalažljivo postupi jer sinovi su ovoga svijeta snalažljiviji prema svojima od sinova svjetlosti.” (aiōn g165)
His master complimented this dishonest steward on the shrewdness of his action. And indeed men of the world are shrewder in dealing with their fellow-men than those who have the Light. (aiōn g165)
9 “I ja vama kažem: napravite sebi prijatelje od nepoštena bogatstva pa kad ga nestane da vas prime u vječne šatore.” (aiōnios g166)
And I say to you ‘Win friends for yourselves with your dishonest money,’ so that, when it comes to an end, there may be a welcome for you into the Eternal Home. (aiōnios g166)
10 “Tko je vjeran u najmanjem, i u najvećem je vjeran; a tko je u najmanjem nepošten, i u najvećem je nepošten.
He who is trustworthy in the smallest matter is trustworthy in a great one also; and he who is dishonest in the smallest matter is dishonest in a great one also.
11 Ako dakle ne bijaste vjerni u nepoštenom bogatstvu, tko li će vam istinsko povjeriti?
So, if you have proved untrustworthy with the ‘dishonest money,’ who will trust you with the true?
12 I ako u tuđem ne bijaste vjerni, tko li će vam vaše dati?”
And, if you have proved untrustworthy with what does not belong to us, who will give you what is really our own?
13 “Nijedan sluga ne može služiti dvojici gospodara. Ili će jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili će uz jednoga prianjati, a drugoga prezirati. Ne možete služiti Bogu i bogatstvu.”
No servant can serve two masters, for, either he will hate one and love the other, or else he will attach himself to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.”
14 Sve su to slušali farizeji, srebroljupci, i rugali mu se.
All this was said within hearing of the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, and they began to sneer at Jesus.
15 On im reče: “Vi se pravite pravedni pred ljudima, ali zna Bog srca vaša. Jer što je ljudima uzvišeno, odvratnost je pred Bogom.”
“You,” said Jesus, “are the men who justify themselves before the world, but God can read your hearts; and what is highly esteemed among men may be an abomination in the sight of God.
16 “Zakon i Proroci do Ivana su, a otada se navješćuje kraljevstvo Božje i svatko se u nj silom probija.
The Law and the Prophets sufficed until the time of John. Since then the Good News of the Kingdom of God has been told, and everybody has been forcing his way into it.
17 Lakše će nebo i zemlja proći, negoli propasti i jedan potezić Zakona.”
It would be easier for the heavens and the earth to disappear than for one stroke of a letter in the Law to be lost.
18 “Tko god otpusti svoju ženu pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub. I tko se god oženi otpuštenom, čini preljub.”
Every one who divorces his wife and marries another woman is an adulterer, and the man who marries a divorced woman is an adulterer.
19 “Bijaše neki bogataš. Odijevao se u grimiz i tanani lan i danomice se sjajno gostio.
There was once a rich man, who dressed in purple robes and fine linen, and feasted every day in great splendour.
20 A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je sav u čirevima pred njegovim vratima
Near his gateway there had been laid a beggar named Lazarus, who was covered with sores,
21 i priželjkivao nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Čak su i psi dolazili i lizali mu čireve.”
and who longed to satisfy his hunger with what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the very dogs came and licked his sores.
22 “Kad umrije siromah, odnesoše ga anđeli u krilo Abrahamovo. Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan.
After a time the beggar died, and was taken by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried.
23 Tada u teškim mukama u paklu, podiže svoje oči te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i u krilu mu Lazara (Hadēs g86)
In the Place of Death he looked up in his torment, and saw Abraham at a distance and Lazarus at his side. (Hadēs g86)
24 pa zavapi: 'Oče Abrahame, smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da umoči vršak svoga prsta u vodu i rashladi mi jezik jer se strašno mučim u ovom plamenu.'
So he called out ‘Pity me, Father Abraham, and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am suffering agony in this flame.’
25 Reče nato Abraham: 'Sinko! Sjeti se da si za života primio dobra svoja, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti se mučiš.
‘Child,’ answered Abraham, ‘remember that you in your lifetime received what you thought desirable, just as Lazarus received what was not desirable; but now he has his consolation here, while you are suffering agony.
26 K tome između nas i vas zjapi provalija golema te koji bi i htjeli prijeći odavde k vama, ne mogu, a ni odatle k nama prijelaza nema.'”
And not only that, but between you and us there lies a great chasm, so that those who wish to pass from here to you cannot, nor can they cross from there to us.’
27 “Nato će bogataš: 'Molim te onda, oče, pošalji Lazara u kuću oca moga.
‘Then, Father,’ he said, ‘I beg you to send Lazarus to my father’s house —
28 Imam petero braće pa neka im posvjedoči da i oni ne dođu u ovo mjesto muka.'
For I have five brothers to warn them, so that they may not come to this place of torture also.’
29 Kaže Abraham: 'Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!'
‘They have the writings of Moses and the Prophets,’ replied Abraham; ‘let them listen to them.’
30 A on će: 'O ne, oče Abrahame! Nego dođe li tko od mrtvih k njima, obratit će se.'
‘But, Father Abraham,’ he urged, ‘if some one from the dead were to go to them, they would repent.’
31 Reče mu: 'Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Proroka, neće povjerovati sve da i od mrtvih tko ustane.'”
‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets,’ answered Abraham, ‘they will not be persuaded, even if some one were to rise from the dead.’”
