Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
I kad se moljaše Bogu na jednom mjestu pa presta, reèe mu neki od uèenika njegovijeh: Gospode! nauèi nas moliti se Bogu, kao što i Jovan nauèi svoje uèenike.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
A on im reèe: kad se molite Bogu govorite: oèe naš koji si na nebesima, da se sveti ime tvoje; da doðe carstvo tvoje; da bude volja tvoja i na zemlji kao na nebu;
3 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
Hljeb naš potrebni daji nam svaki dan;
4 Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
I oprosti nam grijehe naše, jer i mi opraštamo svakome dužniku svojemu; i ne navedi nas u napast; nego nas izbavi oda zla.
5 Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
I reèe im: koji od vas ima prijatelja, i otide mu u ponoæi i reèe mu: prijatelju! daj mi tri hljeba u zajam;
6 Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
Jer mi doðe prijatelj s puta, i nemam mu šta postaviti;
7 Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
A on iznutra odgovarajuæi da reèe: ne uznemiruj me; veæ su vrata zatvorena i djeca su moja sa mnom u postelji, i ne mogu ustati da ti dam.
8 I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
I kažem vam: ako i ne ustane da mu da zato što mu je prijatelj, ali za njegovo bezobrazno iskanje ustaæe i daæe mu koliko treba.
9 So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
I ja vama kažem: ištite i daæe vam se: tražite i naæi æete; kucajte i otvoriæe vam se.
10 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
Jer svaki koji ište, prima; i koji traži, nalazi; i koji kuca, otvora mu se.
11 If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
Koji je meðu vama otac u koga ako sin zaište hljeba da mu da kamen? Ili ako zaište ribe da mu da mjesto ribe zmiju?
12 If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
Ili ako zaište jaje da mu da skorpiju?
13 Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
Kad dakle vi, zli buduæi, umijete dobre dare davati djeci svojoj, koliko æe više otac nebeski dati Duha svetoga onima koji ištu u njega?
14 [One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
I jednom izgna ðavola koji bješe nijem; kad ðavo iziðe progovori nijemi; i diviše se ljudi.
15 But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
A neki od njih rekoše: pomoæu Veelzevula kneza ðavolskoga izgoni ðavole.
16 Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
A drugi kušajuæi ga iskahu od njega znak s neba.
17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
A on znajuæi pomisli njihove reèe im: svako carstvo koje se razdijeli samo po sebi, opustjeæe, i dom koji se razdijeli sam po sebi, propašæe.
18 [Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
Tako i sotona ako se razdijeli sam po sebi, kako æe ostati njegovo carstvo? kao što kažete da pomoæu Veelzevula izgonim ðavole.
19 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
Ako li ja pomoæu Veelzevula izgonim ðavole, sinovi vaši èijom pomoæu izgone? Zato æe vam oni biti sudije.
20 But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
A ako li ja prstom Božijim izgonim ðavole, dakle je došlo k vama carstvo Božije.
21 Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
Kad se jaki naoruža i èuva svoj dvor, imanje je njegovo na miru;
22 But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
A kad doðe jaèi od njega i nadvlada ga, uzme sve oružje njegovo u koje se uzdao, i razdijeli što otme od njega.
23 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
Koji nije sa mnom, protiv mene je; i koji sa mnom ne sabira, prosipa.
24 [Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
Kad neèisti duh iziðe iz èovjeka, ide kroz bezvodna mjesta tražeæi pokoja, i ne našavši reèe: da se vratim u dom svoj otkuda sam izišao;
25 So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
I došavši naðe pometen i ukrašen.
26 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
Tada otide i uzme sedam drugijeh duhova gorijeh od sebe, i ušavši žive ondje; i bude potonje èovjeku onome gore od prvoga.
27 When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
A kad to govoraše, podiže glas jedna žena iz naroda i reèe mu: blago utrobi koja te je nosila, i sisama koje si sao!
28 But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
A on reèe: blago i onima koji slušaju rijeè Božiju, i drže je.
29 When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
A narodu koji se skupljaše stade govoriti: rod je ovaj zao; ište znak, i neæe mu se dati znak osim znaka Jone proroka;
30 [After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
Jer kako što Jona bi znak Ninevljanima, tako æe i sin èovjeèij biti rodu ovome.
31 [Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
Carica južna iziæi æe na sud s ljudima roda ovoga, i osudiæe ih; jer ona doðe s kraja zemlje da sluša premudrost Solomunovu: a gle, ovdje je veæi od Solomuna.
32 The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
Ninevljani iziæi æe na sud s rodom ovijem, i osudiæe ga; jer se pokajaše pouèenjem Joninijem: a gle, ovdje je veæi od Jone.
33 [Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
Niko ne meæe zapaljene svijeæe na sakriveno mjesto, niti pod sud, nego na svijeænjak da vide svjetlost koji ulaze.
34 Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
Svijeæa je tijelu oko. Ako dakle oko tvoje bude zdravo, sve æe tijelo tvoje biti svijetlo; ako li oko tvoje bude kvarno, i tijelo je tvoje tamno.
35 Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
Gledaj dakle da vidjelo koje je u tebi ne bude tama.
36 If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
Jer ako je sve tijelo tvoje svijetlo da nema nikakvoga uda tamna, biæe svijetlo kao kad te svijeæa obasjava svjetlošæu.
37 While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
A kad govoraše, moljaše ga nekakav farisej da objeduje u njega. A on ušavši sjede za trpezu.
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
A farisej se zaèudi kad vidje da se najprije ne umi prije objeda.
39 The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
A Gospod reèe mu: sad vi fariseji spolja èistite èašu i zdjelu, a iznutra vam je puno grabeža i zlobe.
40 You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
Bezumni! nije li onaj naèinio i iznutra koji je spolja naèinio?
41 Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
Ali dajite milostinju od onoga što je unutra; i gle, sve æe vam biti èisto.
42 But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
Ali teško vama farisejima što dajete desetak od metvice i od rute i od svakoga povræa, a prolazite pravdu i ljubav Božiju: ovo je trebalo èiniti, i ono ne ostavljati.
43 There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
Teško vama farisejima što tražite zaèelja po zbornicama i da vam se klanja po ulicama.
44 There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
Teško vama književnici i fariseji, licemjeri, što ste kao sakriveni grobovi po kojima ljudi idu i ne znadu ih.
45 One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
A neki od zakonika odgovarajuæi reèe: uèitelju! govoreæi to i nas sramotiš.
46 Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
A on reèe: teško i vama zakonicima što tovarite na ljude bremena preteška za nošenje, a vi jednijem prstom svojijem neæete da ih prihvatite.
47 There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
Teško vama što zidate grobove prorocima, a vaši su ih ocevi pobili.
48 So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
Vi dakle svjedoèite i odobravate djela otaca svojijeh; jer ih oni pobiše, a vi im grobove zidate.
49 So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
Zato i premudrost Božija reèe: poslaæu im proroke i apostole, i od njih æe jedne pobiti, a druge protjerati;
50 [As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
Da se ište od roda ovoga krv sviju proroka koja je prolivena od postanja svijeta,
51 starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
Od krvi Aveljeve tja do krvi Zarijne, koji pogibe meðu oltarom i crkvom. Da, kažem vam, iskaæe se od roda ovoga.
52 There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
Teško vama zakonici što uzeste kljuè od znanja: sami ne uðoste, a koji šæadijahu da uðu, zabraniste im.
53 After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
A kad im on ovo govoraše, poèeše književnici i fariseji vrlo navaljivati k njemu i mnogijem pitanjem zabunjivati ga,
54 They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
Vrebajuæi i pazeæi na njega ne bi li što ulovili iz usta njegovijeh da ga okrive.
