Luke 13
1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
Upravo u taj čas dođoše neki te mu javiše što se dogodilo s Galilejcima kojih je krv Pilat pomiješao s krvlju njihovih žrtava.
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
Isus im odgovori: “Mislite li da ti Galilejci, jer tako postradaše, bijahu grešniji od drugih Galilejaca?
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
Nipošto, kažem vam, nego ako se ne obratite, svi ćete slično propasti!
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
Ili onih osamnaest na koje se srušila kula u Siloamu i ubila ih, zar mislite da su oni bili veći dužnici od svih Jeruzalemaca?
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
Nipošto, kažem vam, nego ako se ne obratite, svi ćete tako propasti.”
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
Nato im pripovjedi ovu prispodobu: “Imao netko smokvu zasađenu u svom vinogradu. Dođe tražeć ploda na njoj i ne nađe
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
pa reče vinogradaru: 'Evo, već tri godine dolazim i tražim ploda na ovoj smokvi i ne nalazim. Posijeci je. Zašto da iscrpljuje zemlju?'
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
A on mu odgovori: 'Gospodaru, ostavi je još ove godine dok je ne okopam i ne pognojim.
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
Možda će ubuduće ipak uroditi. Ako li ne, posjeći ćeš je.'”
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Jedne je subote naučavao u nekoj sinagogi.
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
Kad eto žene koja je osamnaest godina imala duha bolesti. Bila je zgrbljena i nikako se nije mogla uspraviti.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
Kad je Isus opazi, dozva je i reče joj: “Ženo, oslobođena si svoje bolesti!”
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
I položi na nju ruke, a ona se umah uspravi i poče slaviti Boga.
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
Nadstojnik sinagoge - ozlovoljen što je Isus u subotu izliječio - govoraše mnoštvu: “Šest je dana u koje treba raditi! U te dakle dane dolazite i liječite se, a ne u dan subotni!”
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
Odgovori mu Gospodin: “Licemjeri! Ne driješi li svaki od vas u subotu svoga vola ili magarca od jasala da ga vodi na vodu?
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
Nije li dakle i ovu kćer Abrahamovu, koju Sotona sveza evo osamnaest je već godina, trebalo odriješiti od tih spona u dan subotni?”
17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
Na te njegove riječi postidješe se svi protivnici njegovi, a sav se narod radovaše zbog svega čime se on proslavio.
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
Govoraše dakle: “Čemu je slično kraljevstvo Božje? Čemu da ga prispodobim?
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
Ono je kao kad čovjek uze gorušičino zrno i baci ga u svoj vrt. Uzraste i razvi se u stablo te mu se ptice nebeske gnijezde po granama.”
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
I opet im reče: “Čemu da prispodobim kraljevstvo Božje?
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Ono je kao kad žena uze kvasac i zamijesi ga u tri mjere brašna dok sve ne uskisne.”
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
Putujući tako u Jeruzalem, prolazio je i naučavao gradovima i selima.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
Reče mu tada netko: “Gospodine, je li malo onih koji se spasavaju?” A on im reče:
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
“Borite se da uđete na uska vrata jer mnogi će, velim vam, tražiti da uđu, ali neće moći.”
25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
“Kada gospodar kuće ustane i zaključa vrata, a vi stojeći vani počnete kucati na vrata: 'Gospodine, otvori nam!', on će vam odgovoriti: 'Ne znam vas odakle ste!'
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
Tada ćete početi govoriti: 'Pa mi smo s tobom jeli i pili, po našim si trgovima naučavao!'
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
A on će vam reći: 'Kažem vam: ne znam odakle ste. Odstupite od mene, svi zlotvori!'”
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
“Ondje će biti plač i škrgut zubi kad ugledate Abrahama i Izaka i Jakova i sve proroke u kraljevstvu Božjem, a sebe vani, izbačene.
29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
I doći će s istoka i zapada, sa sjevera i juga i sjesti za stol u kraljevstvu Božjem.
30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
Evo, ima posljednjih koji će biti prvi, ima i prvih koji će biti posljednji.”
31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
U taj čas pristupe neki farizeji i reknu mu: “Otiđi, otputuj odavde jer te Herod hoće ubiti.”
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
A on će njima: “Idite i kažite toj lisici: 'Evo, izgonim đavle i liječim danas i sutra, a treći dan dovršujem.
33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
Ali danas, sutra i prekosutra moram nastaviti put jer ne priliči da prorok pogine izvan Jeruzalema.'”
34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
“Jeruzaleme, Jeruzaleme, koji ubijaš proroke i kamenuješ one što su tebi poslani! Koliko li puta htjedoh skupiti djecu tvoju kao kvočka piliće pod krila i ne htjedoste!
35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
Evo, napuštena vam kuća. A kažem vam, nećete me vidjeti dok ne dođe čas te reknete: “Blagoslovljen Onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje!”
