Luka 9
1 Potem je sklical skupaj svoje dvanajstere učence in jim dal moč in oblast nad vsemi hudiči in za ozdravljanje bolezni.
[One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
2 In poslal jih je, da oznanjajo Božje kraljestvo in da ozdravljajo bolne.
[Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
3 Rekel jim je: »Za svoje potovanje ne vzemite ničesar, niti palic, prav tako ne malhe, niti kruha, niti denarja, niti ne imejte vsak po dva plašča.
he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
4 In v katerokoli hišo vstopite, tam ostanite in od tam odidite.
Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
5 Kdorkoli vas ne bo sprejel, kadar greste iz tega mesta, si iz svojih stopal otresite prav [ta] prah, v pričevanje proti njim.«
[In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
6 In odpravili so se in šli skozi mesta in oznanjali evangelij in povsod ozdravljali.
Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
7 Torej Herod, vladar četrtinskega dela province, je slišal o vsem, kar je bilo storjeno po njem; in bil je zmeden, zato ker so nekateri rekli, da je bil Janez obujen od mrtvih,
Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
8 in od nekaterih, da se je pojavil Elija in od drugih, da je vstal eden izmed starih prerokov.
Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
9 Herod pa je rekel: »Janeza sem jaz obglavil, toda kdo je ta, o katerem slišim takšne stvari?« In želel si je, da bi ga videl.
But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
10 In apostoli, ko so se vrnili, so mu povedali vse, kar so storili. In vzel jih je in odšel stran, na samo, v zapuščen kraj, ki je pripadal mestu z imenom Betsajda.
When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Ko je množica to izvedela, mu je sledila in sprejel jih je ter jim govoril o Božjem kraljestvu in ozdravil te, ki so imeli potrebo po ozdravljenju.
But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
12 In ko je dan začel minevati, potem so prišli dvanajsteri ter mu rekli: »Pošlji množico proč, da lahko gredo v mesta in naokoli po deželi ter prenočijo in si preskrbijo živeža, kajti tukaj smo na samotnem kraju.«
Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
13 Toda rekel jim je: »Vi jim dajte jesti.« Oni pa so rekli: »Nimamo več kot pet hlebov in dve ribi, razen, če bi šli in za vse te ljudi kupili hrano.«
But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
14 Kajti bilo jih je okoli pet tisoč mož. In svojim učencem je rekel: »Primorajte jih, da se usedejo v skupine po petdeset.«
There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
15 In storili so tako in vse so primorali sesti.
After they told the people that, they all sat down.
16 Tedaj je vzel pet hlebov in dve ribi in jih, zroč k nebu, blagoslovil in razlomil in dal učencem, da jih postavijo pred množico.
Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
17 In jedli so in vsi so bili nasičeni. In od odlomkov, ki so jim ostali, je bilo nabranih dvanajst košar.
All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
18 In pripetilo se je, ko je bil sam in molil, [da] so bili z njim njegovi učenci. In vprašal jih je, rekoč: »Kdo pravi množica, da sem jaz?«
[One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
19 Rekli so in odgovorili: »›Janez Krstnik, ‹ toda nekateri pravijo: ›Elija‹ in drugi pravijo, da je vstal eden izmed starih prerokov.«
They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
20 Rekel jim je: »Toda kdo vi pravite, da sem jaz?« Peter mu reče in odgovori: »Kristus od Boga.«
He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
21 In strogo jim je naročil in jim ukazal, da te besede ne povedo nobenemu človeku,
Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
22 rekoč: »Sin človekov mora pretrpeti mnoge stvari in biti zavrnjen od starešin in visokih duhovnikov in pisarjev in umorjen bo in tretji dan bo obujen.«
Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
23 Njim vsem pa je rekel: »Če hoče katerikoli človek priti za menoj, naj se odpove samemu sebi in vsak dan vzame svoj križ ter mi sledi.
Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
24 Kajti kdorkoli hoče rešiti svoje življenje, ga bo izgubil, toda kdorkoli hoče izgubiti svoje življenje zaradi mene, ta isti ga bo rešil.
You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
25 Kajti kaj človeku koristi, če si pridobi ves svet, pa izgubi samega sebe ali je zavržen?
People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
26 Kajti kdorkoli se bo sramoval mene in mojih besed, njega se bo sramoval Sin človekov, ko bo prišel v svoji lastni slavi in v [slavi] svojega Očeta in svetih angelov.
Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
27 Toda povem vam po resnici, tam bo nekaj tukaj navzočih, ki ne bodo okusili smrti, dokler ne bodo videli Božjega kraljestva.«
But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
28 In pripetilo se je okoli osmega dne po teh govorih, da je vzel Petra in Janeza in Jakoba ter odšel gor na goro, da moli.
About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
29 In medtem ko je molil, je bil videz njegovega obličja predrugačen in njegova oblačila so bila bela in sijoča.
As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
30 In glej, z njim sta govorila dva moža, ki sta bila Mojzes in Elija.
Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
31 Prikazala sta se v slavi in govorila o njegovem odhodu, ki naj bi ga dovršil v Jeruzalemu.
32 Toda Peter in ta dva, ki sta bila z njim, so bili obteženi s spanjem. Ko so se zbudili, so videli njegovo slavo in dva moža, ki sta stala z njim.
Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
33 In pripetilo se je, ko sta odšla od njega, da je Peter rekel Jezusu: »Učitelj, dobro je za nas, da smo tukaj. Naredimo tri šotore: enega zate in enega za Mojzesa in enega za Elija, « pa ni vedel, kaj je govoril.
As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
34 Medtem ko je tako govoril, je prišel oblak in jih zasenčil in ko so vstopili v oblak, so se prestrašili.
As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
35 In iz oblaka je prišel glas, rekoč: »Ta je moj ljubljeni Sin, njega poslušajte.«
[God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
36 In ko je glas minil, se je Jezus znašel sam. Oni pa so [to] obdržali zase in v tistih dneh nobenemu človeku niso povedali o teh stvareh, ki so jih videli.
After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
37 In pripetilo se je, da ga je naslednji dan, ko so prišli dol s hriba, srečalo mnogo ljudi.
The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
38 In glej, mož iz skupine je zavpil, rekoč: »Učitelj, rotim te, poglej na mojega sina, kajti on je moj edini otrok.
Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
39 In glej, duh ga napada in nenadoma vpije in trga ga, da se ponovno peni in ko ga močno udari, odide od njega.
At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
40 In rotil sem tvoje učence, da ga izženejo iz njega, pa niso mogli.«
I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
41 Jezus pa odgovori in reče: »O neverni in sprevrženi rod, kako dolgo bom še z vami in vas prenašal? Privedi svojega sina sèm.«
Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
42 In ko je šele prihajal, ga je hudič vrgel dol ter ga trgal. In Jezus je oštel nečistega duha in ozdravil otroka ter ga ponovno izročil njegovemu očetu.
While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
43 In vsi so bili osupli nad mogočno Božjo močjo. Toda medtem ko so se vsi čudili ob vseh stvareh, ki jih je Jezus storil, je svojim učencem rekel:
All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 »Naj te besede prodrejo v vaša ušesa, kajti Sin človekov bo izročen v človeške roke.«
“Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
45 Toda tega govora niso razumeli in ta je bil skrit pred njimi, da ga niso zaznali in bali so se ga vprašati o tem govoru.
But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
46 Potem je med njimi nastalo razmišljanje, kdo izmed njih naj bi bil največji.
The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
47 In Jezus, zaznavajoč misel njihovega srca, je vzel otroka ter ga postavil poleg sebe
But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
48 ter jim rekel: »Kdorkoli bo tega otroka sprejel v mojem imenu, sprejema mene in kdorkoli bo sprejel mene, sprejema tistega, ki me je poslal, kajti kdor je najmanjši med vami vsemi, ta isti bo velik.«
He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
49 In Janez je odgovoril ter rekel: »Učitelj, nekoga smo videli v tvojem imenu izganjati hudiče in smo mu prepovedali, ker ne hodi skupaj z nami.«
John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
50 Toda Jezus mu je rekel: »Ne prepovejte mu, kajti kdor ni proti nam, je za nas.«
But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
51 In pripetilo se je, ko je prišel čas, da naj bi bil sprejet gor, se je on neomajno odločil, da gre v Jeruzalem
When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
52 in pred svojim obrazom je poslal poslance in ti so šli ter vstopili v vas Samarijanov, da pripravijo zanj.
He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
53 Oni pa ga niso sprejeli, ker je bil njegov obraz, kakor da hoče iti v Jeruzalem.
But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
54 In ko sta njegova učenca, Jakob in Janez, to videla, sta rekla: »Gospod, hočeš, da ukaževa ognju, da pride dol z neba in jih pogoltne, kakor je storil Elija?«
When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
55 Toda on se je obrnil in ju oštel ter rekel: »Vidva ne vesta, iz kakšne vrste duha sta.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
56 Kajti Sin človekov ni prišel, da pokonča človeška življenja, temveč, da jih reši.« In odšli so v drugo vas.
So they went to a different village.
57 In pripetilo se je, ko so šli po poti, da mu je nek človek rekel: »Gospod, sledil ti bom, kamorkoli greš.«
As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
58 In Jezus mu je rekel: »Lisice imajo luknje in ptice neba imajo gnezda, toda Sin človekov nima kam nasloniti svoje glave.«
[In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
59 In drugemu je rekel: »Sledi mi.« Vendar je ta rekel: »Gospod, dovoli mi najprej, da grem in pokopljem svojega očeta.«
Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
60 Jezus mu je rekel: »Naj mrtvi pokopljejo svoje mrtve, ti pa pojdi in oznanjaj Božje kraljestvo.«
But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
61 Prav tako je rekel drugi: »Gospod, sledil ti bom, toda naj grem najprej in se poslovim od teh, ki so doma v moji hiši.«
Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
62 In Jezus mu je rekel: »Nihče, ki svojo roko položi na plug in gleda nazaj, ni primeren za Božje kraljestvo.«
Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
