Matthew 18
1 In that hour came, the disciples unto Jesus, saying—Who then is, greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens?
U taj èas pristupiše uèenici k Isusu govoreæi: ko je dakle najveæi u carstvu nebeskome?
2 And, calling near a child, he set it in the midst of them,
I dozva Isus dijete, i postavi ga meðu njih,
3 and said—Verily, I say unto you, Except ye turn and become as the children, in nowise, shall ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
I reèe im: zaista vam kažem, ako se ne povratite i ne budete kao djeca, neæete uæi u carstvo nebesko.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this child, the same, is the greatest, in the kingdom of the heavens;
Koji se dakle ponizi kao dijete ovo, onaj je najveæi u carstvu nebeskome.
5 And, whosoever shall give welcome unto one such child as this, upon my name, unto me, giveth welcome.
I koji primi takovo dijete u ime moje, mene prima.
6 And, whosoever shall cause to stumble one of these little ones who believe in me, it profiteth him, that there be hung a large mill-stone about his neck, and he be sunk in the wide main of the sea.
A koji sablazni jednoga od ovijeh malijeh koji vjeruju mene, bolje bi mu bilo da se objesi kamen vodenièni o vratu njegovu, i da potone u dubinu morsku.
7 Alas for the world! by reason of the causes of stumbling; for it is, necessary, that the causes of stumbling come, —nevertheless, alas for the man through whom the cause of stumbling cometh!
Teško svijetu od sablazni! jer je potrebno da doðu sablazni; ali teško onom èovjeku kroz koga dolazi sablazan.
8 But, if, thy hand or thy foot, be causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly for thee, to enter into life, maimed or lame, rather than, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-abiding fire. (aiōnios g166)
Ako li te ruka tvoja ili noga tvoja sablažnjava, otsijeci je i baci od sebe: bolje ti je uæi u život hromu ili kljastu, negoli s dvije ruke i dvije noge da te bace u oganj vjeèni. (aiōnios g166)
9 And, if, thine eye, causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: It is, seemly, for thee, one-eyed, into life, to enter, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
I ako te oko tvoje sablažnjava, izvadi ga i baci od sebe: bolje ti je s jednijem okom u život uæi, nego s dva oka da te bace u pakao ognjeni. (Geenna g1067)
10 Beware! do not despise one of these little ones; For I say unto you—that, their messengers in the heavens, do, continually, behold the face of my Father in the heavens.
Gledajte da ne prezrete jednoga od malijeh ovijeh; jer vam kažem da anðeli njihovi na nebesima jednako gledaju lice oca mojega nebeskoga.
Jer sin èovjeèij doðe da iznaðe i spase izgubljeno.
12 How, to you, doth it seem? If a certain man come to have a hundred sheep and one from among them go astray, Will he not leave the ninety-nine upon the mountains, and going, seek the straying one?
Što vam se èini? Kad ima jedan èovjek sto ovaca pa zaðe jedna od njih, ne ostavi li on devedeset i devet u planini, i ide da traži onu što je zašla?
13 And, if it should be that he find it, Verily, I say unto you—He rejoiceth over it, more than over the ninety-nine that have not gone astray.
I ako se dogodi da je naðe, zaista vam kažem da se njoj više raduje nego onima devedeset i devet što nijesu zašle.
14 Thus, there is no desire, in the presence of my Father who is in the heavens, that, one of these little ones, should be lost.
Tako nije volja oca vašega nebeskoga da pogine jedan od ovijeh malijeh.
15 But, if thy brother sin, withdraw, convince him, betwixt thee and him, alone, —If unto thee he hearken, thou hast gained thy brother;
Ako li ti sagriješi brat tvoj, idi i pokaraj ga meðu sobom i njim samijem; ako te posluša, dobio si brata svojega.
16 But, if he do not hearken, take with thee, yet one or two, that, at the mouth of two witnesses or three, every declaration, maybe established;
Ako li te ne posluša, uzmi sa sobom još jednoga ili dvojicu da sve rijeèi ostanu na ustima dva ili tri svjedoka.
17 But, if he hear them amiss, tell it to the assembly, —And, if, even the assembly, he hear amiss, Let him be unto thee, just as the man of the nations and the tax-collector.
Ako li njih ne posluša, kaži crkvi; a ako li ne posluša ni crkve, da ti bude kao neznabožac i carinik.
18 Verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever things ye shall bind on the earth, shall be bound in heaven; and, whatsoever things ye shall loose on the earth, shall be loosed in heaven.
Jer vam kažem zaista: što god svežete na zemlji biæe svezano na nebu, i što god razdriješite na zemlji biæe razdriješeno na nebu.
19 Again, [verily] I say unto you—If two from among you shall agree upon the earth concerning any matter, whatsoever they shall ask, it shall be brought to pass for them, from my Father who is in the heavens;
Još vam kažem zaista: ako se dva od vas slože na zemlji u èemu mu drago, za što se uzmole, daæe im otac moj koji je na nebesima.
20 For, where there are two or three, gathered together into my name, there, am I, in their midst.
Jer gdje su dva ili tri sabrani u ime moje ondje sam ja meðu njima.
21 Then, coming near, Peter said [to him]—Lord! how many times, shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until, seven, times?
Tada pristupi k njemu Petar i reèe: Gospode! koliko puta ako mi sagriješi brat moj da mu oprostim? do sedam puta?
22 Jesus saith to him—I say not unto thee, unto, seven, times, but, until seventy times seven.
Reèe njemu Isus: ne velim ti do sedam puta, nego do sedam puta sedamdeset.
23 For this cause, hath the kingdom of the heavens become like unto a man, a king, who wished to settle an account with his servants;
Zato je carstvo nebesko kao èovjek car koji namisli da se proraèuni sa svojijem slugama.
24 And, when he, began, to settle, there was brought unto him a, certain, debtor, of a thousand talents;
I kad se poèe raèuniti, dovedoše mu jednoga dužnika od deset hiljada talanata.
25 and, he, not having, wherewith to pay, the master ordered him to be sold, and the wife, and the children, and whatsoever he had, —and payment to be made.
I buduæi da nemaše èim platiti, zapovjedi gospodar njegov da ga prodadu, i ženu njegovu i djecu, i sve što ima; i da mu se plati.
26 The servant therefore, falling down, began to do homage unto him, saying—Have patience with me, and, all, will I pay thee.
No sluga taj pade i klanjaše mu se govoreæi: gospodaru! prièekaj me, i sve æu ti platiti.
27 And, moved with compassion, the master of that servant released him, and, the loan, he, forgave, him.
A gospodaru se sažali za tijem slugom, pusti ga i dug oprosti mu.
28 But that servant, going out, found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him, a hundred denaries, and, laying hold of him, he began seizing him by the throat, saying, Pay! if anything thou owest.
A kad iziðe sluga taj, naðe jednoga od svojijeh drugara koji mu je dužan sto groša, i uhvativši ga davljaše govoreæi: daj mi što si dužan.
29 His fellow servant, therefore, falling down, began beseeching him, saying, Have patience with me! And I will pay thee.
Pade drugar njegov pred noge njegove i moljaše ga govoreæi: prièekaj me, i sve æu ti platiti.
30 He, however, would not, but went away and cast him into prison, —until he should pay what was owing.
A on ne htje, nego ga odvede i baci u tamnicu dok ne plati duga.
31 His fellow-servants, therefore, seeing, the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, —and went and made quite plain to their master all the things which had been done.
Vidjevši pak drugari njegovi taj dogaðaj žao im bi vrlo, i otišavši kazaše gospodaru svojemu sav dogaðaj.
32 Then, calling him near, his master saith unto him—O wicked servant! All that debt, forgave I thee, because thou didst beseech me.
Tada ga dozva gospodar njegov, i reèe mu: zli slugo! sav dug onaj oprostih tebi, jer si me molio.
33 Was it not binding, upon thee also, to have mercy upon thy fellow-servant, as, I also, on thee, had mercy?
Nije li trebalo da se i ti smiluješ na svog drugara, kao i ja na te što se smilovah?
34 And, provoked to anger, his master delivered him up to the torturers, until he should pay all that was owing.
I razgnjevi se gospodar njegov, i predade ga muèiteljima dok ne plati sav dug svoj.
35 Thus, my heavenly Father also, will do unto you, if ye forgive not each one his brother, from your hearts.
Tako æe i otac moj nebeski uèiniti vama, ako ne oprostite svaki bratu svojemu od srca svojijeh.
