Matthew 5
1 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
А кад Он виде народ, попе се на гору, и седе, и приступише Му ученици Његови.
2 Then he began to teach them by saying,
И отворивши уста своја учаше их говорећи:
3 [God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
Благо сиромашнима духом, јер је њихово царство небеско;
4 [God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
Благо онима који плачу, јер ће се утешити;
5 [God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
Благо кроткима, јер ће наследити земљу;
6 [God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
Благо гладнима и жеднима правде, јер ће се наситити;
7 [God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
Благо милостивима, јер ће бити помиловани;
8 [God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
Благо онима који су чистог срца, јер ће Бога видети;
9 [God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
Благо онима који мир граде, јер ће се синови Божји назвати;
10 [God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
Благо прогнанима правде ради, јер је њихово царство небеско.
11 [God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
Благо вама ако вас узасрамоте и успрогоне и кажу на вас свакојаке рђаве речи лажући, мене ради.
12 [When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
Радујте се и веселите се, јер је велика плата ваша на небесима, јер су тако прогонили пророке пре вас.
13 “You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
Ви сте со земљи; ако со обљутави, чим ће се осолити? Она већ неће бити низашта, осим да се проспе напоље и да је људи погазе.
14 You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
Ви сте видело свету; не може се град сакрити кад на гори стоји.
15 After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
Нити се ужиже свећа и меће под суд него на свећњак, те светли свима који су у кући.
16 [Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
Тако да се светли ваше видело пред људима, да виде ваша добра дела, и славе Оца вашег који је на небесима.
17 “I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
Не мислите да сам ја дошао да покварим закон или пророке: нисам дошао да покварим, него да испуним.
18 Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
Јер вам заиста кажем: докле небо и земља стоји, неће нестати ни најмање словце или једна титла из закона док се све не изврши.
19 Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
Ако ко поквари једну од ових најмањих заповести и научи тако људе, најмањи назваће се у царству небеском; а ко изврши и научи, тај ће се велики назвати у царству небеском.
20 Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
Јер вам кажем да ако не буде већа правда ваша него књижевника и фарисеја, нећете ући у царство небеско.
21 “You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
Чули сте како је казано старима: Не убиј; јер ко убије, биће крив суду.
22 But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
А ја вам кажем да ће сваки који се гневи на брата свог низашта, бити крив суду; а ако ли ко рече брату свом: Рака! Биће крив скупштини; а ко рече: Будало! Биће крив паклу огњеном. (Geenna g1067)
23 So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
Зато дакле ако принесеш дар свој к олтару, и онде се опоменеш да брат твој има нешто на те,
24 leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
Остави онде дар свој пред олтаром, и иди пре те се помири с братом својим, па онда дођи и принеси дар свој.
25 [Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
Мири се са супарником својим брзо, док си на путу с њим, да те супарник не преда судији, а судија да те не преда слузи и у тамницу да те не ставе.
26 Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Заиста ти кажем: нећеш изаћи оданде док не даш до последњег динара.
27 “You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
Чули сте како је казано старима: Не чини прељубе.
28 But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
А ја вам кажем да сваки који погледа на жену са жељом, већ је учинио прељубу у срцу свом.
29 If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
А ако те око твоје десно саблажњава, ископај га и баци од себе: јер ти је боље да погине један од удова твојих неголи све тело твоје да буде бачено у пакао. (Geenna g1067)
30 If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
И ако те десна рука твоја саблажњава, одсеци је и баци од себе: јер ти је боље да погине један од удова твојих неголи све тело твоје да буде бачено у пакао. (Geenna g1067)
31 “It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
Тако је казано: Ако ко пусти жену своју, да јој да књигу распусну.
32 But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
А ја вам кажем да сваки који пусти жену своју, осим за прељубу, наводи је те чини прељубу; и који пуштеницу узме прељубу чини.
33 “You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
Још сте чули како је казано старима: Не куни се криво, а испуни шта си се Господу заклео.
34 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
А ја вам кажем: не куните се никако: ни небом, јер је престо Божји;
35 [Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
Ни земљом, јер је подножје ногама Његовим; ни Јерусалимом, јер је град великог Цара.
36 [Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
Ни главом својом не куни се, јер не можеш длаке једне беле или црне учинити.
37 [If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
Дакле нека буде ваша реч: да - да; не - не; а шта је више од овог, ода зла је.
38 “You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
Чули сте да је казано: Око за око, и зуб за зуб.
39 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
А ја вам кажем да се не браните ода зла, него ако те ко удари по десном твом образу, обрни му и други;
40 If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
И који хоће да се суди с тобом и кошуљу твоју да узме, подај му и хаљину.
41 If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
И ако те потера ко један сат, иди с њиме два.
42 Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
Који иште у тебе, подај му; и који хоће да му узајмиш, не одреци му.
43 “You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
Чули сте да је казано: Љуби ближњег свог, и мрзи на непријатеља свог.
44 But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
А ја вам кажем: љубите непријатеље своје, благосиљајте оне који вас куну, чините добро онима који на вас мрзе и молите се Богу за оне који вас гоне;
45 Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
Да будете синови Оца свог који је на небесима; јер Он заповеда свом сунцу, те обасјава и зле и добре, и даје дажд праведнима и неправеднима.
46 If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
Јер ако љубите оне који вас љубе, какву плату имате? Не чине ли то и цариници?
47 If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
И ако Бога називате само својој браћи, шта одвише чините? Не чине ли тако и незнабошци?
48 [You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
Будите ви дакле савршени, као што је савршен Отац ваш небески.
