Matthew 5
1 On seeing the crowds of people, Jesus went up the hill; and, when he had taken his seat, his disciples came up to him;
In ko je zagledal množice, se je povzpel na goro, in ko se je usedel, so k njemu prišli njegovi učenci
2 and he began to teach them, saying:
in odprl je svoja usta ter jih učil, rekoč:
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
»Blagoslovljeni so ubogi v duhu, kajti njihovo je nebeško kraljestvo.
4 Blessed are the mourners, for they will be comforted.
Blagoslovljeni so tisti, ki žalujejo, kajti potolaženi bodo.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Blagoslovljeni so krotki, kajti podedovali bodo zemljo.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blagoslovljeni so tisti, ki so lačni in žejni pravičnosti, kajti nasičeni bodo.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will find mercy.
Blagoslovljeni so usmiljeni, kajti dosegli bodo usmiljenje.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blagoslovljeni so čisti v srcu, kajti videli bodo Boga.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blagoslovljeni so miritelji, kajti imenovani bodo Božji otroci.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted in the cause of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blagoslovljeni so tisti, ki so preganjani zaradi pravičnosti, kajti njihovo je nebeško kraljestvo.
11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil lies about you because of me.
Blagoslovljeni ste vi, ko vas bodo ljudje zasramovali in vas preganjali in bodo zaradi mene proti vam lažno govorili vse vrste zla.
12 Be glad and rejoice, because your reward in heaven will be great; this is the way they persecuted the prophets who lived before you.
Veselite se in bodite silno veseli, kajti velika je vaša nagrada v nebesih, kajti tako so preganjali preroke, ki so bili pred vami.
13 “You are salt for the world. But if salt becomes tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, but is thrown away, and trampled underfoot.
Vi ste sol zemlje, toda če je sol izgubila svoj okus, s čim bo osoljena? Odslej ni dobra za nič, razen da je vržena proč in da jo ljudje pomendrajo.
14 It is you who are the light of the world. A town that stands on a hill cannot be hidden.
Vi ste svetloba svetu. Mesto, ki je postavljeno na hribu, ne more biti skrito.
15 People do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on the lamp-stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.
Niti ljudje ne prižgejo sveče in je ne postavijo pod mernik, temveč na svečnik in ta daje svetlobo vsem, ki so v hiši.
16 Let your light so shine before the eyes of others so that, seeing your good actions, they will praise your Father who is in heaven.
Naj vaša svetloba takó sveti pred ljudmi, da bodo lahko videli vaša dobra dela in proslavljali vašega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.
17 “Do not think that I have come to do away with the Law or the prophets; I have not come to do away with them, but to complete them.
Ne mislite, da sem prišel uničit postavo ali preroke; nisem prišel uničit, temveč izpolnit.
18 For I tell you, until the heavens and the earth disappear, not even the smallest letter, nor one stroke of a letter, will disappear from the Law until all is done.
Kajti resnično, povem vam: ›Dokler nebo in zemlja ne preideta, ena pika ali en delček nikakor ne bosta izpuščena iz postave, dokler se vsa ne izpolni.‹
19 Whoever, therefore, breaks one of these commandments, even the least of them, and teaches others to do so, will be the least esteemed in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps them, and teaches others to do so, will be esteemed great in the kingdom of heaven.
Kdorkoli bo torej prekršil eno od teh najmanjših zapovedi in bo tako učil ljudi, bo v nebeškem kraljestvu imenovan najmanjši, toda kdorkoli jih bo izpolnjeval in jih učil, isti bo v nebeškem kraljestvu imenovan velik.
20 Indeed I tell you that, unless you obey God’s commands better than of the teachers of the Law, and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Kajti povem vam: ›Razen če vaša pravičnost ne bo presegla pravičnosti pisarjev in farizejev, v nobenem primeru ne boste vstopili v nebeško kraljestvo.‹
21 “You have heard that to our ancestors it was said – ‘You must not commit murder,’ and ‘Whoever commits murder will be brought to trial.’
Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno po teh iz starih časov: ›Ne boš ubil. Kdorkoli pa ubije, bo v nevarnosti sodbe.‹
22 But I say to you that anyone who is angry at their brother or sister will be brought to trial; and whoever insults their brother or sister will be brought before the High Council, while whoever calls them a fool will be in danger of the fires of Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Toda povem vam: ›Da kdorkoli je brez razloga jezen na svojega brata, bo v nevarnosti sodbe, ‹ in kdorkoli bo svojemu bratu rekel: ›Raka, ‹ bo v nevarnosti pred vélikim zborom. Toda kdorkoli bo rekel: ›Ti bedak, ‹ bo v nevarnosti peklenskega ognja. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore, when presenting your gift at the altar, if even there you remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
Zatorej, če prineseš svoj dar k oltarju in se tam spomniš, da ima tvoj brat zoper tebe dolg,
24 leave your gift there, before the altar, go and be reconciled to them, first, then come and present your gift.
pusti svoj dar tam pred oltarjem in pojdi svojo pot; najprej se pobotaj s svojim bratom in potem pridi ter daruj svoj dar.
25 Be ready to make friends with your opponent, even when you meet them on your way to the court; otherwise they might hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the judicial officer, and you will be thrown into prison.
Hitro se dogovori s svojim nasprotnikom, medtem ko si z njim na poti, da te ne bi kadarkoli nasprotnik izročil sodniku, sodnik pa te izroči častniku in boš vržen v ječo.
26 I tell you, you will not come out until you have paid the last cent.
Resnično, povem ti: ›Nikakor ne prideš od tam, dokler ne odplačaš zadnjega novčiča.‹
27 “You have heard that it was said – ‘You must not commit adultery.’
Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno po teh iz starih časov: ›Ne boš zagrešil zakonolomstva.‹
28 But I say to you that anyone who looks at a woman and desires her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Toda povem vam: ›Da kdorkoli s poželenjem pogleda na žensko, je v svojem srcu z njo že zagrešil zakonolomstvo.‹
29 If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it thrown into Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
In če te tvoje desno oko pohujšuje, ga iztakni in ga vrzi od sebe; kajti zate je koristno, da bi eden izmed tvojih udov propadel in ne, da bi tvoje celó telo moralo biti vrženo v pekel. (Geenna g1067)
30 And, if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It would be best for you to lose one part of your body, and not to have the whole of it go down to Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
In če te tvoja desnica pohujšuje, jo odsekaj in jo vrzi od sebe; kajti zate je koristno, da bi eden izmed tvojih udov propadel, ne pa da bi tvoje celó telo moralo biti vrženo v pekel. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It was also said – ‘Let anyone who divorces his wife serve her with a notice of separation.’
Rečeno je bilo: ›Kdorkoli bo odslovil svojo ženo, naj ji dá pisanje o ločitvi.‹
32 But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of some serious sexual sin, leads to her committing adultery; while anyone who marries her after her divorce is guilty of adultery.
Toda povem vam: ›Da kdorkoli bo odslovil svojo ženo, razen zaradi razloga prešuštva, ji povzroči, da ona zagreši zakonolomstvo; in kdorkoli bo poročil tisto, ki je ločena, zagreši zakonolomstvo.‹
33 Again, you have heard that our ancestors were told – ‘Do not break your oaths, keep your vows to the Lord.’
Ponovno, slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno po teh iz starih časov: ›Sebi ne boš prisegal krivo, temveč svoje prisege izpolni Gospodu.‹
34 But I say to you that you must not swear at all, either by heaven, since that is God’s throne,
Toda povem vam: ›Sploh ne prisegajte; niti pri nebesih, kajti to je Božji prestol,
35 or by the earth, since that is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, since that is the city of the Great King.
niti pri zemlji, kajti ta je njegova pručka, niti pri Jeruzalemu, kajti to je mesto vélikega Kralja.
36 Nor should you swear by your head, since you cannot make a single hair either white or black.
Niti ne prisegaj pri svoji glavi, ker niti enega lasu ne moreš narediti belega ali črnega.
37 Let your words be simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from what is evil.
Toda vaš govor naj bo: ›Da, da; ‹ ›Ne, ne.‹ Kajti karkoli je več kakor to, prihaja od zla.
38 “You have heard that it was said – ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’
Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno: ›Oko za oko in zob za zob.‹
39 But I say to you that you must not resist those who wrong you; but, if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the other to them also.
Toda povem vam: ›Da se ne upirajte zlu, temveč kdorkoli te bo udaril na tvoje desno lice, obrni k njemu tudi drugo.
40 If someone sues you for your shirt, let them have your cloak as well.
In če se hoče katerikoli človek pravdati s teboj na sodišču in ti odvzeti tvoj plašč, naj ima tudi tvoje ogrinjalo.
41 If you are forced to carry a soldier’s pack for one mile, carry it two.
In kdorkoli te prisili, da greš miljo, pojdi z njim dve.
42 Give to anyone who asks and, if someone wants to borrow from you, do not turn them away.
Daj tistemu, ki te prosi in pred tistim, ki bi si izposodil od tebe, se ne obrni proč.‹
43 You have heard that it was said – ‘You must love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
Slišali ste, da je bilo rečeno: ›Ljubil boš svojega bližnjega in sovražil svojega sovražnika.‹
44 But what I tell you is this: love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you,
Toda jaz vam povem: ›Ljubíte svoje sovražnike, blagoslavljajte te, ki vas preklinjajo, delajte dobro tem, ki vas sovražijo in molíte za tiste, ki vas kruto izkoriščajo in vas preganjajo, ‹
45 so that you may become children of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on bad and good alike, and sends rain on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
da boste lahko otroci svojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih, kajti on daje svojemu soncu, da vzhaja na zle in na dobre, ter pošilja dež na pravične in na nepravične.
46 For, if you love only those who love you, what reward will you have? Even the tax collectors do this!
Kajti če ljubite te, ki vas ljubijo, kakšno nagrado imate? Ne delajo celó davkarji tako?
47 And, if you only welcome your brothers and sisters, what are you doing more than others? Even the Gentiles do this!
In če pozdravljate samo svoje brate, kaj delate več kakor drugi? Ne delajo celó davkarji tako?
48 You, then, must become perfect – as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Bodite zato popolni, prav tako, kakor je popoln vaš Oče, ki je v nebesih.«
