Matthew 11
1 After Jesus had finished giving directions to his twelve Disciples, he left that place in order to teach and preach in their towns.
In pripetilo se je, ko je Jezus končal z naročanjem svojim dvanajsterim učencem, [da] je odšel od tam, da uči in oznanja v njihovih mestih.
2 Now John had heard in prison what the Christ was doing, and he sent a message by his disciples,
Potem ko je Janez v ječi slišal Kristusova dela, je poslal dva izmed svojih učencev
3 and asked – ‘Are you “the coming one,” or are we to look for someone else?’
in [ta dva] sta mu rekla: »Ali si ti tisti, ki naj bi prišel ali naj pričakujemo drugega?«
4 The answer of Jesus to the question was – ‘Go and report to John what you hear and see –
Jezus je odgovoril in jima rekel: »Pojdita in Janezu ponovno izpričajta te stvari, ki jih slišita in vidita:
5 the blind recover their sight and the lame walk, the lepers are made clean and the deaf hear, the dead, too, are raised to life, and the good news is told to the poor.
›Slepi prejemajo svoj vid in hromi hodijo, gobavi so očiščeni in gluhi slišijo, mrtvi so obujeni in revnim se oznanja evangelij.
6 Blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.’
In blagoslovljen je tisti, ki v meni ne bo pohujšan.‹«
7 While John’s disciples were going back, Jesus began to say to the crowds with reference to John,
Ko sta odšla, je Jezus začel množicam govoriti glede Janeza: »Kaj ste odšli gledat ven v divjino? Trst, ki se maje z vetrom?«
8 ‘What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man richly dressed? Why, those who wear rich things are to be found in the courts of kings!
Toda kaj ste šli ven, da bi videli? Moža, oblečenega v mehka oblačila? Glejte, tisti, ki nosijo mehka oblačila, so v kraljevih hišah.
9 What, then, did you go for? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
Toda kaj ste šli ven, da bi videli? Preroka? Da, povem vam in več kakor preroka.
10 This is the man of whom scripture says – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.”
Kajti ta je tisti, o katerem je pisano: ›Glejte, pošljem svojega poslanca pred tvojim obrazom, ki bo pripravil tvojo pot pred teboj.‹
11 I tell you, no one born of a woman has yet appeared who is greater than John the Baptist; and yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Resnično, povem vam: ›Med temi, ki so rojeni iz žensk, ni bil obujen večji kakor Janez Krstnik, vendar kdor je v nebeškem kraljestvu najmanjši, je večji kakor on.‹
12 From the time of John the Baptist to this very hour, the kingdom of heaven has been taken by force, and people using force have been seizing it.
In od dni Janeza Krstnika do sedaj nebeško kraljestvo trpi nasilje in nasilni ga zavzemajo s silo.
13 For the teaching of all the prophets and of the Law continued until the time of John;
Kajti vsi preroki in postava so prerokovali do Janeza.
14 and – if you are ready to accept it – John is himself the Elijah who was destined to come.
In če boste to sprejeli, to je Elija, ki je moral priti.
15 If you have ears, listen.
Kdor ima ušesa, da sliši, naj posluša.
16 But to what will I compare the present generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-places and calling out to their playmates –
Toda s kom bom primerjal ta rod? Podoben je otrokom, ki sedijo po trgih in kličejo svojim rojakom
17 We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not mourned.
ter govorijo: ›Piskali smo vam, pa niste plesali; objokovali smo vam, pa niste žalovali.‹
18 For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, people said “He has a demon in him”;
Kajti Janez je prišel, niti ni jedel, niti ni pil, pa pravijo: ›Hudiča ima.‹
19 and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying “Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts!” And yet wisdom is vindicated by her actions.’
Sin človekov je prišel in jé in pije, pa pravijo: ›Glejte, požrešen človek in vinski bratec, prijatelj davkarjev in grešnikov.‹ Toda modrost je opravičena po svojih otrocih.«
20 Then Jesus began to reproach the towns in which most of his miracles had been done, because they had not repented,
Tedaj je začel oštevati mesta, v katerih je bila storjena večina njegovih mogočnih del, ker se nista pokesala:
21 ‘Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
»›Gorje ti, Horazín! Gorje ti, Betsajda! Kajti če bi se mogočna dela, ki so bila storjena v vama, storila v Tiru in Sidónu, bi se že davno pokesala v vrečevini in pepelu.‹
22 Yet, I tell you, the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable in the day of judgment than yours.
Toda povem vam: ›Bolj znosno bo na dan sodbe za Tir in Sidón, kakor vama.
23 And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have been standing to this day. (Hadēs g86)
In ti, Kafarnáum, ki si bil vzvišen do neba, boš priveden navzdol do pekla; kajti če bi se mogočna dela, ki so bila storjena v tebi, zgodila v Sódomi, bi preostala do današnjega dne.‹ (Hadēs g86)
24 Yet, I tell you, the doom of Sodom will be more bearable in the day of judgment than yours.’
Toda povem ti: ›Da bo na dan sodbe bolj znosno za sódomsko deželo kakor zate.‹«
25 At that same time Jesus uttered the words, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike!
Ob tistem času je Jezus odgovoril in rekel: »Zahvaljujem se tebi, oh Oče, Gospodar neba in zemlje, ker si te stvari skril pred modrimi in razsodnimi, razodel pa si jih otročičem.
26 Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
Točno tako, Oče, kajti tako se je zdelo dobro v tvojih očeh.
27 Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone fully know the Son, except the Father, or fully know the Father, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.
Vse stvari so mi izročene od mojega Očeta in noben človek ne pozna Sina, razen Očeta, niti noben človek ne pozna Očeta, razen Sina in tega komurkoli ga bo Sin razodel.
28 Come to me, all you who toil and are burdened, and I will give you rest!
Pridite k meni vsi vi, ki se trudite in ste težko obremenjeni in dal vam bom počitek.
29 Take my yoke on you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble, and you will find rest for your souls;
Vzemite nase moj jarem in se učite od mene, ker sem krotak in ponižen v srcu, in našli boste počitek svojim dušam.
30 for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’
Kajti moj jarem je udoben in moje breme je lahko.«
