Luka 12
1 Medtem ko je bila tam skupaj zbrana brezštevilna množica ljudstva, do take mere, da so stopali drug po drugem, je najprej začel govoriti svojim učencem: »Pazite se kvasa farizejev, ki je hinavščina.
Meanwhile the people had gathered in thousands, so that they trod upon one another, when Jesus, addressing himself to his disciples, began by saying to them: “Be on your guard against the leaven — that is, the hypocrisy — of the Pharisees.
2 Kajti nič ni prikrito, kar ne bo razkrito niti skrito, kar se ne bo izvedelo.
There is nothing, however covered up, which will not be uncovered, nor anything kept secret which will not become known.
3 Zatorej karkoli ste govorili v temi, bo slišano na svetlobi; in to, kar ste govorili v sobicah na ušesa, bo razglašeno na hišnih strehah.
Hence all that you have said in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear, within closed doors, will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Vam, svojim prijateljem, pa pravim: ›Ne bojte se teh, ki ubijejo telo in nató ne morejo nič več storiti.‹
To you who are my friends I say, Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but after that can do no more.
5 Toda posvaril vas bom, koga se bojte: ›Bojte se njega, ki ima, potem ko je ubil, oblast, da vrže v pekel.‹ Da, pravim vam: ›Bojte se ga.‹ (Geenna g1067)
I will show you of whom you should be afraid. Be afraid of him who, after killing you, has the power to fling you into the Pit. Yes, I say, be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Ali ni pet vrabcev prodanih za dva novčiča, pa niti eden izmed njih ni pozabljen pred Bogom?
Are not five sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them has escaped God’s notice.
7 Toda celó vsi lasje vaše glave so prešteti. Ne bojte se torej, vredni ste več kakor mnogo vrabcev.
No, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Prav tako vam pravim: ›Kdorkoli me bo priznal pred ljudmi, njega bo prav tako Sin človekov priznal pred Božjimi angeli, ‹
Every one, I tell you, who shall acknowledge me before his fellow men, the Son of Man, also, will acknowledge before God’s angels;
9 toda kdor me zanika pred ljudmi, bo zanikan pred Božjimi angeli.
but he, who disowns me before his fellow men, will be altogether disowned before God’s angels.
10 In kdorkoli bo govoril besedo zoper Sina človekovega, mu bo odpuščeno, toda tistemu, ki preklinja zoper Svetega Duha, ne bo odpuščeno.
Every one who shall say anything against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but for him who slanders the Holy Spirit there will be no forgiveness.
11 In ko vas privedejo v sinagoge in k sodnikom in oblastem, se ne vznemirjajte in ne skrbite kakšno ali katero besedo boste odgovorili ali kaj boste rekli,
Whenever they take you before the Synagogue Courts or the magistrates or other authorities, do not be anxious as to how you will defend yourselves, or what your defence will be, or what you will say;
12 kajti Sveti Duh vas bo v tej isti uri poučil, kaj morate reči.«
for the Holy Spirit will show you at the moment what you ought to say.”
13 Eden iz skupine pa mu je rekel: »Učitelj, spregovori mojemu bratu, naj dediščino deli z menoj.«
“Teacher,” a man in the crowd said to Jesus, “tell my brother to share the property with me.”
14 Rekel mu je: »Človek, kdo me je naredil sodnika ali delivca nad vama?«
But Jesus said to him: “Man, who made me a judge or an arbiter between you?”
15 In rekel jim je: »Pazite in čuvajte se pohlepnosti, kajti bistvo človeškega življenja ni v obilju stvari, ki jih poseduje.«
And then he added: “Take care to keep yourselves free from every form of covetousness; for even in the height of his prosperity a man’s true Life does not depend on what he has.”
16 In povedal jim je prispodobo, rekoč: »Zemlja nekega bogataša je obilno obrodila
Then Jesus told them this parable — “There was once a rich man whose land was very fertile;
17 in mislil si je sam pri sebi, rekoč: ›Kaj bom storil, ker nimam prostora, kamor bi spravil svoje sadove?‹
and he began to ask himself ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?
18 Pa je rekel: ›To bom storil, podrl bom svoje skednje in zgradil večje in tja bom spravil vse svoje sadove in svoje dobrine.‹
This is what I will do,’ he said; ‘I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and store all my grain and my goods in them;
19 Svoji duši pa bom rekel: ›Duša, veliko dobrin imaš spravljenih za mnogo let; vzemi si počitek, jej, pij in bodi vesela.‹
and I will say to myself, Now you have plenty of good things put by for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.’
20 Toda Bog mu je rekel: ›Ti bedak, to noč bo tvoja duša zahtevana od tebe. Čigave bodo potem te stvari, ki si jih priskrbel?‹
But God said to the man ‘Fool! This very night your life is being demanded; and as for all you have prepared — who will have it?’
21 Tak je, kdor zaklade shranjuje zase, ni pa bogat pred Bogom.«
So it is with those who lay by wealth for themselves and are not rich to the glory of God.”
22 Svojim učencem pa je rekel: »Zatorej vam pravim: ›Ne vznemirjajte se in ne skrbite za svoje življenje, kaj boste jedli; niti za telo, kaj boste oblekli.
And Jesus said to his disciples: “That is why I say to you, Do not be anxious about the life here — what you can get to eat; nor yet about your body — what you can get to wear.
23 Življenje je več kakor hrana in telo je več kakor oblačilo.
For life is more than food, and the body than its clothes.
24 Preudarite o krokarjih, kajti niti ne sejejo niti ne žanjejo; ki nimajo niti skladišča niti skednja, pa jih Bog hrani. Kako silno ste vi boljši kakor perjad?
Think of the ravens — they neither sow nor reap; they have neither storehouse nor barn; and yet God feeds them! And how much more precious are you than birds!
25 In kdo izmed vas lahko z vznemirjanjem in skrbmi svoji postavi doda en komolec?
But which of you, by being anxious, can prolong his life a moment?
26 Če torej niste zmožni storiti te stvari, ki je najmanj pomembna, zakaj se vznemirjate in skrbite za ostalo?
And, if you cannot do even the smallest thing, why be anxious about other things?
27 Preudarite lilije, kako rastejo; ne garajo, ne predejo in vendar vam jaz pravim, da Salomon v vsej svoji slavi ni bil oblečen kakor ena izmed teh.
Think of the lilies, and how they grow. They neither toil nor spin; yet, I tell you, even Solomon in all his splendour was not robed like one of these.
28 Če torej Bog tako oblači travo, ki je danes na polju in je jutri vržena v peč; kako mnogo bolj bo oblačil vas, oh vi maloverni?
If, even in the field, God so clothes the grass which is living to-day and to-morrow will be thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O men of little faith!
29 In ne iščite, kaj boste jedli ali kaj boste pili niti ne bodite dvomljivega mišljenja.
And you — do not be always seeking what you can get to eat or what you can get to drink; and do not waver.
30 Kajti za vsemi temi stvarmi povprašujejo narodi sveta in vaš Oče ve, da imate potrebo za temi stvarmi.
These are the things for which all the nations of the world are seeking, and your Father knows that you need them.
31 Toda raje iščite Božje kraljestvo in vse te stvari vam bodo dodane.
No, seek his Kingdom, and these things shall be added for you.
32 Ne bojte se, mali trop, kajti dobra volja vašega Očeta je, da vam da kraljestvo.
So do not be afraid, my little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the Kingdom.
33 Prodajte, kar imate in dajte miloščino. Priskrbite si mošnje, ki ne ostarijo, zaklad v nebesih, ki ne izneveri, kjer se noben tat ne približa niti molj ne razkraja.
Sell what belongs to you, and give in charity. Make yourselves purses that will not wear out — an inexhaustible treasure in Heaven, where no thief comes near, or moth works ruin.
34 Kajti kjer je vaš zaklad, tam bo tudi vaše srce.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 Naj bodo vaša ledja opasana in vaše svetilke prižgane,
Make yourselves ready, with your lamps alight;
36 vi sami pa podobni ljudem, ki čakajo na svojega gospodarja, kdaj se bo vrnil s poroke, da kadar pride in potrka, mu lahko takoj odprejo.
and be like men who are waiting for their Master’s return from his wedding, so that, when he comes and knocks, they may open the door for him at once.
37 Blagoslovljeni so tisti služabniki, ki jih bo gospodar, ko pride, našel čuječe. Resnično, pravim vam, da se bo opasal in jih primoral, da se usedejo k obedu in bo prišel naprej ter jim stregel.
Happy are those servants whom, on his return, the Master will find watching. I tell you that he will make himself ready, and bid them take their places at table, and will come and wait upon them.
38 In če bo prišel ob drugi straži ali če pride ob tretji straži in jih najde takó, blagoslovljeni so tisti služabniki.
Whether it is late at night, or in the early morning that he comes, if he finds all as it should be, then happy are they.
39 In vedite to, da če bi hišni oče vedel, katero uro bi prišel tat, bi stražil in ne bi dovolil, da bi bila njegova hiša vlomljena.
This you do know, that, had the owner of the house known at what time the thief was coming, he would have been on the watch, and would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Bodite torej tudi vi pripravljeni, kajti Sin človekov prihaja ob uri, za katero ne mislite.‹«
Do you also prepare, for when you are least expecting him the Son of Man will come.”
41 Potem mu je Peter rekel: »Gospod, govoriš to prispodobo nam ali celó vsem?«
“Master,” said Peter, “are you telling this parable with reference to us or to every one?”
42 Gospod pa je rekel: »Kdo je potem tisti zvesti in modri oskrbnik, ki ga bo njegov gospodar naredil za vladarja nad njegovo družino, da jim ob pravšnjem obdobju da njihove deleže hrane?
“Who, then,” replied the Master, “is that trustworthy steward, the careful man, who will be placed by his master over his establishment, to give them their rations at the proper time?
43 Blagoslovljen je tisti služabnik, ki ga bo njegov gospodar, ko pride, našel tako početi.
Happy will that servant be whom his master, when he comes home, shall find doing this.
44 Resnično vam povem, da ga bo naredil za vladarja nad vsem, kar ima.
His master, I tell you, will put him in charge of the whole of his property.
45 Toda če pa ta služabnik v svojem srcu reče: ›Moj gospodar odlaša svoj prihod‹ in bo začel pretepati sluge in dekle, jesti in piti ter biti pijan,
But should that servant say to himself ‘My master is a long time coming,’ and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
46 bo gospodar tega služabnika prišel na dan, ko ga ne pričakuje in ob uri, ki se je ne zaveda in ga bo razsekal narazen ter mu določil njegov delež z neverniki.
that servant’s master will come on a day when he does not expect him, and at an hour of which he is unaware, and will flog him severely and assign him his place among the untrustworthy.
47 Ta služabnik pa, ki je poznal voljo svojega gospodarja in se ni pripravil niti ni storil glede na njegovo voljo, bo pretepen z mnogimi udarci biča.
The servant who knows his master’s wishes and yet does not prepare and act accordingly will receive many lashes;
48 Toda kdor ni vedel, pa je zagrešil stvari, vredne bičanja, bo pretepen z malo udarci biča. Kajti komurkoli je mnogo dano, se bo od njega mnogo zahtevalo, in komur so ljudje mnogo izročili, bodo od njega terjali tem več.
while one who does not know his master’s wishes, but acts so as to deserve a flogging, will receive but few. From every one to whom much has been given much will be expected, and from the man to whom much has been entrusted the more will be demanded.
49 Prišel sem, da pošljem ogenj na zemljo in kako si želim, da bi bil ta prižgan?
I came to cast fire upon the earth; and what more can I wish, if it is already kindled?
50 Toda imam krst, da bom z njim krščen in kako sem omejen, dokler se to ne dovrši!
There is a baptism that I must undergo, and how great is my distress until it is over!
51 Mislite, da sem prišel, da dam mir na zemljo? Povem vam: ›Ne, temveč prej razkol,
Do you think that I am here to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but to cause division.
52 kajti odslej jih bo v eni hiši pet razdeljenih, trije proti dvema in dva proti trem.
For from this time, if there are five people in a house, they will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 Oče bo razdeljen proti sinu in sin proti očetu; mati proti hčeri in hči proti materi; tašča proti snahi in snaha proti svoji tašči.‹
‘Father will be opposed to son and son to father, mother to daughter and daughter to mother, mother-in-law to her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law to her mother-in-law.’”
54 Množici pa je rekel tudi: ›Ko vidite oblak dvigati se iz zahoda, nemudoma pravite: ›Dež prihaja, ‹ in tako se zgodi.
And to the people Jesus said: “When you see a cloud rising in the west, you say at once ‘There is a storm coming,’ and come it does.
55 In ko vidite pihati južni veter, pravite: ›Vroče bo, ‹ in tako se pripeti.
And when you see that the wind is in the south, you say ‘It will be burning hot,’ and so it proves.
56 Vi hinavci, lahko razpoznate obličje neba in zemlje, toda kako to, da ne razpoznate tega časa?
Hypocrites! You know how to judge of the earth and the sky; how is it, then, that you cannot judge of this time?
57 Da, in zakaj celó sami od sebe ne sodite, kar je prav?
Why do not you yourselves decide what is right?
58 Ko greš s svojim nasprotnikom k oblastniku, ko si še na poti, se posveti prizadevanju, da boš lahko osvobojen pred njim; da te ta ne bi privlekel k sodniku in sodnik te izroči častniku, častnik pa te vrže v ječo.
When, for instance, you are going with your opponent before a magistrate, on your way to the court do your best to be quit of him; for fear that he should drag you before the judge, then the judge will hand you over to the bailiff of the court, and the bailiff throw you into prison.
59 Povem ti; ne boš odšel od tam, dokler ne odplačaš tudi zadnjega kovanca.«
You will not, I tell you, come out until you have paid the very last farthing.”
