Luke 12
1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
Кад се на њих скупише хиљаде народа да стадоше газити један другог, онда поче најпре говорити ученицима својим: Чувајте се квасца фарисејског, који је лицемерје.
2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
Јер ништа није сакривено што се неће открити, ни тајно што се неће дознати;
3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
Јер шта у мраку рекосте, чуће се на виделу; и шта на ухо шаптасте у клетима, проповедаће се на крововима.
4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
Али вам кажем, пријатељима својим: не бојте се од оних који убијају тело и потом не могу ништа више учинити.
5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
Него ћу вам казати кога да се бојите: бојте се Оног који има власт пошто убије бацити у пакао; да, кажем вам, Оног се бојте. (Geenna g1067)
6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
Не продаје ли се пет врабаца за два динара? И ниједан од њих није заборављен пред Богом.
7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
А у вас је и коса на глави избројана. Не бојте се дакле; ви сте бољи од много врабаца.
8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
Него вам кажем: који год призна мене пред људима признаће и Син човечији њега пред анђелима Божијим;
9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
А који се одрече мене пред људима њега ће се одрећи пред анђелима Божијим.
10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
И сваки који рече реч на Сина човечијег опростиће му се, а који хули на Светог Духа неће му се опростити.
11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
А кад вас доведу у зборнице и на судове и пред поглаваре, не брините се како ћете или шта одговорити, или шта ћете казати;
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
Јер ће вас Свети Дух научити у онај час шта треба рећи.
13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
Рече Му пак неки из народа: Учитељу! Реци брату мом да подели са мном достојање.
14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
А Он му рече: Човече! Ко је мене поставио судијом или кметом над вама?
15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
А њима рече: Гледајте и чувајте се од лакомства; јер нико не живи оним што је сувише богат.
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
Каза им, пак, причу говорећи: У једног богатог човека роди њива.
17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
И мишљаше у себи говорећи: Шта ћу чинити? Немам у шта сабрати своју летину.
18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
И рече: Ево ово ћу чинити: покварићу житнице своје и начинићу веће; и онде ћу сабрати сва своја жита и добро своје;
19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
И казаћу души својој: Душо! Имаш много имање на много година; почивај, једи, пиј, весели се.
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
А Бог њему рече: Безумниче! Ову ноћ узеће душу твоју од тебе; а шта си приправио чије ће бити?
21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
Тако бива ономе који себи тече благо, а не богати се у Бога.
22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
А ученицима својим рече: Зато вам кажем: не брините се душом својом шта ћете јести; ни телом у шта ћете се обући:
23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
Душа је претежнија од јела и тело од одела.
24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
Погледајте гавране како не сеју ни жању, који немају подруме ни житнице, и Бог их храни: а колико сте ви претежнији од птица?
25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
А ко од вас бринући се може примакнути расту свом лакат један?
26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
А кад ни најмање шта не можете, зашто се бринете за остало?
27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
Погледајте љиљане како расту: не труде се, нити преду; али ја вам кажем да ни Соломун у свој слави својој не обуче се као један од њих.
28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
А кад траву по пољу, која данас јесте, а сутра се у пећ баца, Бог тако одева, а камоли вас, маловерни!
29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
И ви не иштите шта ћете јести или шта ћете пити, и не брините се;
30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
Јер ово све ишту и незнабошци овог света; а Отац ваш зна да вама треба ово.
31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
Него иштите царство Божије, и ово ће вам се све додати.
32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
Не бој се мало стадо! Јер би воља вашег Оца да вам да царство.
33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
Продајте шта имате и дајте милостињу; начините себи торбе које неће оветшати, хазну која се никад неће испразнити, на небесима, где се лупеж не прикучује нити мољац једе.
34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
Јер где је ваше благо онде ће бити и срце ваше.
35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
Нека буду ваша бедра запрегнута и свеће запаљене;
36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
И ви као људи који чекају господара свог кад се врати са свадбе да му одмах отворе како дође и куцне.
37 If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
Благо оним слугама које нађе господар кад дође, а они страже. Заиста вам кажем да ће се запрегнути, и посадиће их, и приступиће, те ће им служити.
38 [Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
И ако дође у другу стражу, и у трећу стражу дође, и нађе их тако, благо оним слугама.
39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
Али ово знајте: кад би знао домаћин у који ће час доћи лупеж, чувао би и не би дао поткопати кућу своју.
40 Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
И ви, дакле, будите готови: јер у који час не мислите доћи ће Син човечији.
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
А Петар Му рече: Господе! Говориш ли нама ову причу или свима?
42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
А Господ рече: Ко је дакле тај верни и мудри пристав ког постави господар над чељади својом да им даје храну на оброк?
43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
Благо том слузи ког дошавши господар његов нађе да извршује тако.
44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
Заиста вам кажем: над свим својим имањем поставиће га.
45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
Ако ли каже слуга у срцу свом: Неће мој господар још задуго доћи; и стане бити слуге и слушкиње, и јести и пити, и опијати се;
46 [If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
Доћи ће господар тога слуге у дан кад се не нада, и у час кад не мисли, и расећи ће га, и део његов метнуће с невернима.
47 Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
А онај слуга који зна вољу господара свог, и није се приправио, нити учинио по вољи његовој, биће врло бијен;
48 But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
А који не зна па заслужи бој, биће мало бијен. Коме је год много дано много ће се искати од њега; а коме предаше највише највише ће искати од њега.
49 “I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
Ја сам дошао да бацим огањ на земљу; и како би ми се хтело да се већ запалио!
50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
Али се мени ваља крстити крштењем, и како ми је тешко док се не сврши!
51 Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
Мислите ли да сам ја дошао да дам мир на земљу? Не, кажем вам, него раздор.
52 Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
Јер ће, одселе, пет у једној кући бити раздељени, устаће три на два, и два на три.
53 A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
Устаће отац на сина и син на оца; мати на кћер и кћи на матер; свекрва на снаху своју и снаха на свекрву своју.
54 He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
А народу говораше: Кад видите облак где се диже од запада одмах кажете: Биће дажд; и бива тако.
55 [In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
И кад видите југ где дува кажете: Биће врућина; и бива.
56 You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
Лицемери! Лице неба и земље умете познавати, а време ово како не познајете?
57 (Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
Зашто пак и сами од себе не судите праведно?
58 [If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
Јер кад идеш са својим супарником кнезу, гледај не би ли се на путу с њим поравнао да те не притегне судији, и судија да те не преда слузи, и слуга да те не баци у тамницу.
59 I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Кажем ти: нећеш оданде изићи док не даш и последњи динар.
