Luke 14
1 On one occasion, as Jesus was going, on a Sabbath into the house of one of the leading Pharisees to dine, they were watching him closely.
I dogodi mu se da doðe u subotu u kuæu jednoga kneza farisejskoga da jede hljeb; i oni motrahu na njega.
2 There he saw before him a man who was suffering from dropsy.
I gle, bješe pred njim nekakav èovjek na kome bješe debela bolest.
3 “Is it allowable,” said Jesus, addressing the Students of the Law and the Pharisees, “to work a cure on the Sabbath, or is it not?”
I odgovarajuæi Isus reèe zakonicima i farisejima govoreæi: je li slobodno u subotu iscjeljivati?
4 They remained silent. Jesus took hold of the man and cured him, and sent him away.
A oni oæutješe. I dohvativši ga se iscijeli ga i otpusti.
5 And he said to them: “Which of you, finding that his son or his ox has fallen into a well, will not immediately pull him out on the Sabbath Day?”
I odgovarajuæi reèe im: koji od vas ne bi svojega magarca ili vola da mu padne u bunar odmah izvadio u dan subotni?
6 And they could not make any answer to that.
I ne mogoše mu odgovoriti na to.
7 Observing that the guests were choosing the best places for themselves, Jesus told them this parable —
A gostima kaza prièu, kad opazi kako izbirahu zaèelja, i reèe im:
8 “When you are invited by any one to a wedding banquet, do not seat yourself in the best place, for fear that some one of higher rank should have been invited by your host;
Kad te ko pozove na svadbu, ne sjedaj u zaèelje, da ne bude meðu gostima ko stariji od tebe;
9 and he who invited you both will come and say to you ‘Make room for this man,’ and then you will begin in confusion to take the lowest place.
I da ne bi došao onaj koji je pozvao tebe i njega, i rekao ti: podaj mjesto ovome: i onda æeš sa stidom sjesti na niže mjesto.
10 No, when you are invited, go and take the lowest place, so that, when he who has invited you comes, he may say to you ‘Friend, come higher up’; and then you will be honoured in the eyes of all your fellow-guests.
Nego kad te ko pozove, došavši sjedi na pošljednje mjesto, da ti reèe kad doðe onaj koji te pozva: prijatelju! pomakni se više; tada æe tebi biti èast pred onima koji sjede s tobom za trpezom.
11 For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jer svaki koji se podiže, poniziæe se; a koji se ponižuje, podignuæe se.
12 Then Jesus went on to say to the man who had invited him: “When you give a breakfast or a dinner, do not ask your friends, or your brothers, or your relations, or rich neighbours, for fear that they should invite you in return, and so you should be repaid.
A i onome što ih je pozvao reèe: kad daješ objed ili veèeru, ne zovi prijatelja svojijeh, ni braæe svoje, ni roðaka svojijeh, ni susjeda bogatijeh, da ne bi i oni tebe kad pozvali i vratili ti;
13 No, when you entertain, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind;
Nego kad èiniš gozbu, zovi siromahe, kljaste, hrome, slijepe;
14 and then you will be happy indeed, since they cannot recompense you; for you shall be recompensed at the resurrection of the good.”
I blago æe ti biti što ti oni ne mogu vratiti; nego æe ti se vratiti o vaskrseniju pravednijeh.
15 One of the guests heard what he said and exclaimed: “Happy will he be who shall eat bread in the Kingdom of God!”
A kad èu to neki od onijeh što sjeðahu s njim za trpezom reèe mu: blago onome koji jede hljeba u carstvu Božijemu!
16 But Jesus said to him: “A man was once giving a great dinner. He invited many people,
A on mu reèe: jedan èovjek zgotovi veliku veèeru, i pozva mnoge;
17 and sent his servant, when it was time for the dinner, to say to those who had been invited ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’
I kad bi vrijeme veèeri, posla slugu svojega da kaže zvanima: hajdete, jer je veæ sve gotovo.
18 They all with one accord began to ask to be excused. The first man said to the servant ‘I have bought a field and am obliged to go and look at it. I must ask you to consider me excused.’
I poèeše se izgovarati svi redom; prvi mu reèe: kupih njivu, i valja mi iæi da je vidim; molim te izgovori me.
19 The next said ‘I have bought five pairs of bullocks, and I am on my way to try them. I must ask you to consider me excused’;
I drugi reèe: kupih pet jarmova volova, i idem da ih ogledam; molim te, izgovori me.
20 while the next said ‘I am just married, and for that reason I am unable to come.’
I treæi reèe: oženih se, i zato ne mogu doæi.
21 On his return the servant told his master all these answers. Then in anger the owner of the house said to his servant ‘Go out at once into the streets and alleys of the town, and bring in here the poor, and the crippled, and the blind, and the lame.’
I došavši sluga taj kaza ovo gospodaru svome. Tada se rasrdi domaæin i reèe sluzi svome: idi brzo na raskršæa i ulice gradske, i dovedi amo siromahe, i kljaste, i bogaljaste, i slijepe.
22 Presently the servant said ‘Sir, your order has been carried out, and still there is room.’
I reèe sluga: gospodaru, uèinio sam kako si zapovjedio, i još mjesta ima.
23 ‘Go out,’ the master said, ‘into the roads and hedgerows, and make people come in, so that my house may be filled;
I reèe gospodar sluzi: iziði na putove i meðu ograde, te natjeraj da doðu da mi se napuni kuæa.
24 for I tell you all that not one of those men who were invited will taste my dinner.’”
Jer vam kažem da nijedan od onijeh zvanijeh ljudi neæe okusiti moje veèere. Jer je mnogo zvanijeh, ali je malo izbranijeh.
25 One day, when great crowds of people were walking with Jesus, he turned and said to them:
Iðaše pak s njim mnoštvo naroda, i obazrevši se reèe im:
26 “If any man comes to me and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, yes and his very life, he can be no disciple of mine.
Ako ko doðe k meni a ne mrzi na svojega oca, i na mater, i na ženu, i na djecu, i na braæu, i na sestre i na samu dušu svoju, ne može biti moj uèenik.
27 Whoever does not carry his own cross, and walk in my steps, can be no disciple of mine.
I ko ne nosi krsta svojega i za mnom ne ide, ne može biti moj uèenik.
28 Why, which of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and reckon the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it? —
I koji od vas kad hoæe da zida kulu ne sjede najprije i ne proraèuni šta æe ga stati, da vidi ima li da može dovršiti?
29 For fear that, if he has laid the foundation and is not able to finish it, every one who sees it should begin to laugh at him,
Da ne bi, kad postavi temelj i ne uzmože dovršiti, svi koji gledaju stali mu se rugati
30 and say ‘Here is a man who began to build and was not able to finish!’
Govoreæi: ovaj èovjek poèe zidati, i ne može da dovrši.
31 Or what king, when he is setting out to fight another king, does not first sit down and consider if with ten thousand men he is able to meet one who is coming against him with twenty thousand?
Ili koji car kad poðe s vojskom da se pobije s drugijem carem ne sjede najprije i ne drži vijeæu može li s deset hiljada sresti onoga što ide na njega sa dvadeset hiljada?
32 And if he cannot, then, while the other is still at a distance, he sends envoys and asks for terms of peace.
Ako li ne može, a on pošlje poslanike dok je onaj još daleko i moli da se pomire.
33 And so with every one of you who does not bid farewell to all he has — he cannot be a disciple of mine.
Tako dakle svaki od vas koji se ne odreèe svega što ima ne može biti moj uèenik.
34 Yes, salt is good; but, if the salt itself should lose its strength, what shall be used to season it?
So je dobra, ali ako so obljutavi, èim æe se osoliti?
35 It is not fit either for the land or for the manure heap. Men throw it away. Let him who has ears to hear with hear!”
Niti je potrebna u zemlju ni u gnoj; nego je prospu napolje. Ko ima uši da èuje neka èuje.
