Luke 18
1 Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and never despair.
In povedal jim je priliko zato, da morajo ljudje vedno moliti in ne izgubiti poguma,
2 “There was,” he said, “in a certain town a judge, who had no fear of God nor regard for people.
rekoč: »V mestu je bil sodnik, ki se ni bal Boga niti se ni oziral na človeka.
3 In the same town there was a widow who went to him again and again, and said ‘Grant me justice against my opponent.’
In v tistem mestu je bila vdova in prišla je k njemu, rekoč: ›Maščuj me pred mojim nasprotnikom.‹
4 For a time the judge refused, but afterward he said to himself ‘Although I am without fear of God or regard for people,
On pa nekaj časa ni hotel, toda kasneje si je sam pri sebi rekel: ›Čeprav se ne bojim Boga niti se ne oziram na človeka,
5 yet, as this widow is so troublesome, I will grant her justice, to stop her from plaguing me with her endless visits.’”
vendarle, ker me ta vdova nadleguje, ji bom izvršil pravico, da me s svojim nenehnim prihajanjem ne bi izmučila.‹«
6 Then the Master added, “Listen to what this iniquitous judge says!
Gospod pa je rekel: »Poslušajte, kaj pravi nepravični sodnik.
7 And God – won’t he see that his own people, who cry to him night and day, have justice done them – though he holds his hand?
In ali ne bo Bog maščeval svojih lastnih izvoljenih, ki dan in noč vpijejo k njemu, čeprav jih dolgo prenaša?
8 He will, I tell you, give them justice soon enough! Yet, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
Povem vam, da jih bo naglo maščeval. Vendar ko pride Sin človekov, ali bo našel vero na zemlji?«
9 Another time, speaking to people who were satisfied that they were religious, and who regarded everyone else with scorn, Jesus told this parable –
Nekaterim pa, ki so zaupali sami vase, da so bili pravični in so prezirali druge, je povedal to prispodobo:
10 “Two men went up into the Temple Courts to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other a tax-gatherer.
»Dva človeka sta šla gor v tempelj molit: en farizej, drugi pa davkar.
11 The Pharisee stood forward and began praying to himself in this way – ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men – thieves, rogues, adulterers – or even like this tax-gatherer.
Farizej je stal in sam s seboj takole molil: ›Bog, zahvaljujem se ti, ker nisem kakor so drugi ljudje, izsiljevalci, nepravični, zakonolomci ali celó kakor ta davkar.
12 I fast twice a week, and give a tenth of everything I get to God.’
Postim se dvakrat tedensko, desetine dajem od vsega, kar imam.
13 Meanwhile the tax-gatherer stood at a distance, not venturing even to raise his eyes to heaven, but he kept striking his breast and saying ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’
Davkar pa, ki je stal daleč stran, ni hotel niti svojih oči povzdigniti k nebu, temveč se je udarjal po svojih prsih, rekoč: ›Bog bodi usmiljen meni grešniku.‹
14 This man, I tell you, went home pardoned, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, while everyone who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Povem vam, ta človek je odšel dol k svoji hiši toliko bolj opravičen kakor drugi, kajti vsak, kdor sebe povišuje, bo ponižan; kdor pa sebe ponižuje, bo povišan.«
15 Some of the people were bringing even their babies to Jesus, for him to touch them; but, when the disciples saw it, they began to find fault with those who had brought them.
K njemu pa so privedli tudi otročiče, da bi se jih dotaknil, toda ko so njegovi učenci to videli, so jih ošteli.
16 Jesus, however, called the little children to him. “Let the little children come to me,” he said, “and do not hinder them, for it is to the childlike that the kingdom of God belongs.
Toda Jezus jih je poklical k sebi in rekel: »Dovolite majhnim otrokom prihajati k meni in ne prepovejte jim, kajti takšnih je Božje kraljestvo.
17 I tell you, unless a man receives the kingdom of God like a child, he will not enter it at all.”
Resnično, povem vam: ›Kdorkoli ne bo sprejel Božjega kraljestva kakor majhen otrok, nikakor ne bo vstopil vanj.‹«
18 And one of the leaders asked Jesus this question – “Good teacher, what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
In nek vladar ga je vprašal, rekoč: »Dobri Učitelj, kaj naj storim, da bom podedoval večno življenje?« (aiōnios g166)
19 “Why do you call me good?” answered Jesus. “No one is good but God.
Jezus pa mu je rekel: »Zakaj me kličeš dober? Nihče ni dober, razen enega, to je Boga.
20 You know the commandments – Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not say what is false about others, Honor your father and your mother.”
Zapovedi poznaš: ›Ne zagreši zakonolomstva, ‹ ›Ne ubijaj, ‹ ›Ne kradi, ‹ ›Ne pričaj po krivem, ‹ ›Spoštuj svojega očeta in svojo mater.‹«
21 “I have observed all these,” he replied, “from childhood.”
On pa je rekel: »Vsega tega sem se držal od svoje mladosti dalje.«
22 Hearing this, Jesus said to him, “There is one thing still lacking in you; sell everything that you have, and distribute to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; then come and follow me.”
Torej ko je Jezus slišal te besede, mu je rekel: »Vendarle ti manjka ena stvar. Prodaj vse, kar imaš in razdeli revnim in imel boš zaklad v nebesih in pridi, hodi za menoj.«
23 But the man became greatly distressed on hearing this, for he was extremely rich.
In ko je oni to slišal, je bil zelo žalosten, kajti bil je zelo bogat.
24 Seeing this, Jesus said to his disciples, “How hard it is for the wealthy to enter the kingdom of God!
In ko je Jezus videl, da je bil zelo žalosten, je rekel: »Kako težko bodo tisti, ki imajo bogastva, vstopili v Božje kraljestvo!
25 It is easier, indeed, for a camel to get through a needle’s eye than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!”
Kajti lažje je za kamelo, da gre skozi šivankino uho, kakor za bogataša vstopiti v Božje kraljestvo.«
26 “Then who can be saved?” asked those who heard this.
Tisti pa, ki so to slišali, so rekli: »Kdo je potem lahko rešen?«
27 But Jesus said, “What is impossible with people is possible with God.”
In rekel je: »Stvari, ki so nemogoče z ljudmi, so mogoče z Bogom.«
28 “But we,” said Peter, “we left what belonged to us and followed you.”
Potem je Peter rekel: »Glej! Vse smo zapustili in ti sledili.«
29 “I tell you,” he answered, “that there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
In rekel jim je: »Resnično, povem vam: ›Ni človeka, ki je zapustil hišo ali starše ali brate ali ženo ali otroke zaradi Božjega kraljestva,
31 Gathering the Twelve around him, Jesus said to them, “Listen! We are going up to Jerusalem; and there everything that is written in the prophets will be done to the Son of Man.
Potem je k sebi vzel dvanajstere in jim rekel: »Glejte, mi gremo gor v Jeruzalem in vse besede, ki so glede Sina človekovega napisane po prerokih, se bodo dovršile.
32 For he will be given up to the Gentiles, mocked, insulted and spat on;
Kajti izročen bo poganom in bo zasmehovan in hudobno tretiran ter opljuvan,
33 they will scourge him, and then put him to death; and on the third day he will rise again.”
pa tudi bičali ga bodo in usmrtili in tretji dan bo ponovno vstal.«
34 The apostles did not comprehend any of this. His meaning was unintelligible to them and they did not understand what he was saying.
Oni pa niso razumeli nobene od teh besed in ta govor je bil skrit pred njimi niti niso razumeli besed, ki so bile izgovorjene.
35 As Jesus was getting near Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside, begging.
In pripetilo se je, da ko je prišel blizu Jerihe, da je ob poti sedèl nek slepi mož ter beračil.
36 Hearing a crowd going by, the man asked what was the matter;
In ko je slišal iti mimo množico, je vprašal, kaj je to pomenilo.
37 and, when people told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing,
In povedali so mu, da gre mimo Jezus Nazarečan.
38 he shouted out, “Jesus, Son of David, take pity on me!”
In ta je zavpil, rekoč: »Jezus, ti Davidov Sin, usmili se me.«
39 Those who were in front kept telling him to be quiet, but he continued to call out the louder, “Son of David, take pity on me!”
Tisti pa, ki so hodili spredaj, so ga ošteli, da naj molči, toda on je bolj in bolj vpil: » Ti, Davidov Sin, usmili se me.«
40 Then Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. And, when he had come close up to him, Jesus asked him,
In Jezus se je ustavil ter ukazal, naj bo priveden k njemu in ko je ta prišel bliže, ga je vprašal,
41 “What do you want me to do for you?” “Master,” he said, “I want to recover my sight.”
rekoč: »Kaj hočeš, da naj ti storim?« On pa je rekel: »Gospod, da lahko prejmem svoj vid.«
42 And Jesus said, “Recover your sight, your faith has delivered you.”
Jezus mu je rekel: »Prejmi svoj vid, tvoja vera te je rešila.«
43 Instantly he recovered his sight, and began to follow Jesus, praising God. And all the people, on seeing it, gave glory to God.
In takoj je prejel svoj vid in mu sledil ter proslavljal Boga. In ko so vsi ljudje to videli, so dali hvalo Bogu.
