Matthew 6
1 “Take care not to perform your religious duties in public in order to be seen by others; if you do, your Father who is in heaven has no reward for you.
»Pazite se, da svoje miloščine ne izkazujete pred ljudmi, da bi jo le-ti videli, sicer nimate nobene nagrade od svojega Očeta, ki je v nebesih.
2 Therefore, when you do acts of charity, do not have a trumpet blown in front of you, as hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that people will praise them. There, I tell you, is their reward!
Zato kadar daješ svojo miloščino, ne trobi pred seboj, kakor počno hinavci v sinagogah in na ulicah, da bi lahko imeli slavo od ljudi. Resnično, povem vam: ›Imajo svojo nagrado.‹
3 But, when you do acts of charity, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
Toda kadar ti daješ miloščino, naj tvoja levica ne ve kaj počne tvoja desnica,
4 so that your charity may be secret; and your Father, who sees what is in secret, will reward you.
da bo tvoja miloščina lahko na skrivnem in tvoj Oče, ki sam vidi na skrivnem, te bo javno nagradil.
5 “And, when you pray, you are not to behave as hypocrites do. They like to pray standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the streets, so that people will see them. There, I tell you, is their reward!
In kadar moliš, ne bodi kakor so hinavci, kajti ti radi molijo, stoječ v sinagogah in na vogalih ulic, da jih ljudje lahko vidijo. Resnično, povem vam: ›Imajo svojo nagrado.‹
6 But, when one of you prays, they should go into their own room, shut the door, and pray to their Father who dwells in secret; and their Father, who sees what is secret, will reward them.
Toda ti, kadar ti moliš, vstopi v svojo sobico in ko si zaprl svoja vrata, moli k svojemu Očetu, ki je na skrivnem; in tvoj Oče, ki vidi na skrivnem, te bo nagradil javno.
7 When praying, do not repeat the same words over and over again, as is done by the Gentiles, who think that by using many words they will obtain a hearing.
Toda ko molite, ne uporabljajte jalovih ponavljanj, kakor to počno pogani, kajti mislijo, da bodo uslišani zaradi svojega mnogega govorjenja.
8 Do not imitate them; for God, your Father, knows what you need before you ask him.
Ne bodite jim zato podobni, kajti vaš Oče ve, katere stvari potrebujete, preden ga prosite.
9 You, therefore, should pray like this – ‘Our Father, who is in heaven, may your name be held holy,
Zatorej molíte na ta način: ›Oče naš, ki si v nebesih: ›Posvečuje naj se tvoje ime.
10 your kingdom come, your will be done – on earth, as in heaven.
Pridi tvoje kraljestvo. Zgôdi se tvoja volja na zemlji, kakor je v nebesih.
11 Give us today the bread that we will need;
Daj nam danes naš vsakdanji kruh.
12 and forgive us our wrongdoings, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us;
In odpusti nam naše dolge, kakor mi odpuščamo svojim dolžnikom.
13 and take us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.’
In ne vôdi nas v skušnjavo, temveč nas osvobodi pred zlom, kajti tvoje je kraljestvo in moč in slava, na veke. Amen.‹
14 For, if you forgive others their offenses, your heavenly Father will forgive you also;
Kajti če ljudem odpustite njihove prekrške, bo prav tako vaš nebeški Oče odpustil vam.
15 but, if you do not forgive others their offenses, not even your Father will forgive your offenses.
Toda če ljudem ne odpustite njihovih prekrškov, tudi vaš Oče ne bo odpustil vaših prekrškov.
16 “And, when you fast, do not put on gloomy looks, as hypocrites do who disfigure their faces so that they may be seen by people to be fasting. That, I tell you, is their reward!
Poleg tega, kadar se postite, ne bodite kakor hinavci, potrtega obličja; kajti kazijo svoje obraze, da bi bilo ljudem videti, da se postijo. Resnično, povem vam: ›Imajo svojo nagrado.‹
17 But, when one of you fasts, they should anoint their head and wash their face,
Toda kadar se ti postiš, mazili svojo glavo in umij svoj obraz,
18 so that they may not be seen by people to be fasting, but by their Father who dwells in secret; and their Father, who sees what is secret, will reward them.
da ne bo videti ljudem, da se postiš, temveč tvojemu Očetu, ki je na skrivnem, in tvoj Oče, ki vidi na skrivnem, te bo nagradil javno.
19 “Do not store up treasures for yourselves on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
Ne shranjujte si zakladov na zemlji, kjer molj in rja delata razkroj in kjer tatovi vlamljajo in kradejo,
20 But store up treasures for yourselves in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal.
temveč si zase shranjujte zaklade v nebesih, kjer niti molj niti rja ne delata razkroja in kjer tatovi ne vlamljajo niti ne kradejo,
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
kajti kjer je tvoj zaklad, tam bo tudi tvoje srce.
22 The lamp of the body is the eye. If your eye is unclouded, your whole body will be lit up;
Svetloba telesa je oko; če je torej tvoje oko enovito, bo tvoje celotno telo polno svetlobe.
23 but, if your eye is diseased, your whole body will be darkened. And, if the inner light is darkness, how intense must that darkness be!
Toda če bo tvoje oko hudobno, bo tvoje celotno telo polno teme. Če bo torej svetloba, ki je v tebi, tema, kako velika je ta tema!
24 No one can serve two masters, for either they will hate one and love the other, or else they will attach themselves to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Nihče ne more služiti dvema gospodarjema; kajti ali bo enega sovražil in drugega ljubil, ali pa se bo držal k enemu in preziral drugega. Ne morete služiti Bogu in mamonu.
25 “This is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about your life – what you can get to eat or drink, or about your body – what you can get to wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Zatorej vam pravim: ›Ne vznemirjajte se in ne skrbite glede svojega življenja, kaj boste jedli ali kaj boste pili niti za svoje telo, kaj boste oblekli. Kaj ni življenje več kot hrana in telo več kot oblačilo?
26 Look at the wild birds – they neither sow, nor reap, nor gather into barns; and yet your heavenly Father feeds them! Aren’t you more precious than they?
Poglejte perjad neba, kajti ne seje niti ne žanje niti ne zbira v skednje, vendar jih vaš nebeški Oče hrani. Ali niste mnogo boljši kakor one?
27 But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong their life a single moment?
Kdo izmed vas lahko z vznemirjanjem in skrbmi svoji postavi doda en komolec?
28 And why be anxious about clothing? Study the wild lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin;
In zakaj se vznemirjate in skrbite za oblačilo? Preudarite o lilijah travnika, kako rastejo; ne garajo niti ne predejo.‹
29 yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his splendor was not robed like one of these.
In vendar vam povem: ›Da celó Salomon, v vsej svoji slavi, ni bil oblečen tako kakor ena izmed teh.‹
30 If God so clothes even the grass of the field, which is living today and tomorrow will be thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
Zatorej, če Bog tako oblači travo polja, ki danes je, jutri pa je vržena v peč, ali ne bo mnogo bolj oblačil vas, oh vi, maloverni?
31 Do not then ask anxiously ‘What can we get to eat?’ or ‘What can we get to drink?’ or ‘What can we get to wear?’
Zato se ne vznemirjate in ne skrbite, rekoč: ›Kaj bomo jedli?‹ ali: ›Kaj bomo pili?‹ ali: ›S čim bomo oblečeni?‹
32 All these are the things for which the nations are seeking, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
(Kajti za vsemi temi stvarmi povprašujejo pogani), kajti vaš nebeški Oče ve, da potrebujete vse te stvari.
33 But first seek his kingdom and the righteousness that he requires, and then all these things will be added for you.
Toda iščite najprej Božje kraljestvo in njegovo pravičnost in vse te stvari vam bodo dodane.
34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own anxieties. Every day has trouble enough of its own.
Zato se ne vznemirjate in ne skrbite za jutrišnji dan, kajti jutrišnji dan bo sam poskrbel za stvari. Zadostno je dnevu le tega zlo.«
