Luke, 12

1. Then, as great crowds were standing so close that they were stepping on one another, he began to say to his disciples: “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

1. Kad se uto skupilo mnoštvo, tisuæe i tisuæe, te su jedni druge gazili, poèe Isus govoriti najprije svojim uèenicima: "Èuvajte se kvasca farizejskoga, to jest licemjerja.

2. For there is nothing covered, which will not be revealed, nor anything hidden, which will not be known.

2. Ništa nije skriveno što se neæe otkriti ni tajno što se neæe saznati.

3. For the things that you have spoken in darkness will be declared in the light. And what you have said in the ear in bedrooms will be proclaimed from the housetops.

3. Naprotiv, sve što u tami rekoste, na svjetlu æe se èuti; i što ste po skrovištima u uho šaptali, propovijedat æe se po krovovima."

4. So I say to you, my friends: Do not be fearful of those who kill the body, and afterwards have no more that they can do.

4. "A kažem vama, prijateljima svojim: ne bojte se onih koji ubijaju tijelo, a nakon toga nemaju više što uèiniti.

5. But I will reveal to you whom you should fear. Fear him who, after he will have killed, has the power to cast into Hell. So I say to you: Fear him.

5. Pokazat æu vam koga vam se bojati: onoga se bojte koji pošto ubije, ima moæ baciti u pakao. Da, velim vam, njega se bojte!

6. Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? And yet not one of these is forgotten in the sight of God.

6. Ne prodaje li se pet vrapèiæa za dva novèiæa? Pa ipak ni jednoga od njih Bog ne zaboravlja.

7. But even the very hairs of your head have all been numbered. Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.

7. A vama su i vlasi na glavi sve izbrojene. Ne bojte se! Vredniji ste nego mnogo vrabaca!"

8. But I say to you: Everyone who will have confessed me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the Angels of God.

8. "A kažem vam: tko se god prizna mojim pred ljudima, i Sin Èovjeèji priznat æe se njegovim pred anðelima Božjim.

9. But everyone who will have denied me before men, he will be denied before the Angels of God.

9. A tko mene zanijeèe pred ljudima, bit æe zanijekan pred anðelima Božjim."

10. And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven of him. But of him who will have blasphemed against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven.

10. "I tko god rekne rijeè na Sina Èovjeèjega, oprostit æe mu se. Ali tko pohuli protiv Duha Svetoga, neæe mu se oprostiti."

11. And when they will lead you to the synagogues, and to magistrates and authorities, do not choose to be worried about how or what you will answer, or about what you might say.

11. "Nadalje, kad vas budu dovodili pred sinagoge i poglavarstva i vlasti, ne budite zabrinuti kako æete se ili èime braniti, što li reæi!

12. For the Holy Spirit will teach you, in the same hour, what you must say.”

12. Ta Duh Sveti pouèit æe vas u taj èas što valja reæi."

13. And someone from the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to share the inheritance with me.”

13. Tada mu netko iz mnoštva reèe: "Uèitelju, reci mome bratu da podijeli sa mnom baštinu."

14. But he said to him, “Man, who has appointed me as judge or arbitrator over you?”

14. Nato mu on reèe: "Èovjeèe, tko me postavio sucem ili djeliocem nad vama?"

15. So he said to them: “Be cautious and wary of all avarice. For a person’s life is not found in the abundance of the things that he possesses.”

15. I dometnu im: "Klonite se i èuvajte svake pohlepe: koliko god netko obilovao, život mu nije u onom što posjeduje."

16. Then he spoke to them using a comparison, saying: “The fertile land of a certain wealthy man produced crops.

16. Kaza im i prispodobu: "Nekomu bogatu èovjeku obilno urodi zemlja

17. And he thought within himself, saying: ‘What should I do? For I have nowhere to gather together my crops.’

17. pa u sebi razmišljaše: 'Što da uèinim? Nemam gdje skupiti svoju ljetinu.'

18. And he said: ‘This is what I will do. I will tear down my barns and build larger ones. And into these, I will gather all the things that have been grown for me, as well as my goods.

18. I reèe: 'Evo što æu uèiniti! Srušit æu svoje žitnice i podignuti veæe pa æu ondje zgrnuti sve žito i dobra svoja.

19. And I will say to my soul: Soul, you have many goods, stored up for many years. Relax, eat, drink, and be cheerful.’

19. Tada æu reæi duši svojoj: dušo, evo imaš u zalihi mnogo dobara za godine mnoge. Poèivaj, jedi, pij, uživaj!'

20. But God said to him: ‘Foolish one, this very night they require your soul of you. To whom, then, will those things belong, which you have prepared?’

20. Ali Bog mu reèe: 'Bezumnièe! Veæ noæas duša æe se tvoja zaiskati od tebe! A što si pripravio, èije æe biti?'

21. So it is with him who stores up for himself, and is not wealthy with God.”

21. Tako biva s onim koji sebi zgræe blago, a ne bogati se u Bogu."

22. And he said to his disciples: “And so I say to you: Do not choose to be anxious about your life, as to what you may eat, nor about your body, as to what you will wear.

22. Zatim reèe svojim uèenicima: "Zato vam kažem: ne budite zabrinuti za život: što æete jesti; ni za tijelo: u što æete se obuæi.

23. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

23. Ta život je vredniji od jela i tijelo od odijela.

24. Consider the ravens. For they neither sow nor reap; there is no storehouse or barn for them. And yet God pastures them. How much more are you, compared to them?

24. Promotrite gavrane! Ne siju niti žanju, nemaju spremišta ni žitnice, pa ipak ih Bog hrani. Koliko li ste vi vredniji od ptica!

25. But which of you, by thinking, is able to add one cubit to his stature?

25. A tko od vas zabrinutošæu može svojemu stasu dodati lakat?

26. Therefore, if you are not capable, in what is so little, why be anxious about the rest?

26. Ako dakle ni ono najmanje ne možete, što ste onda za ostalo zabrinuti?

27. Consider the lilies, how they grow. They neither work nor weave. But I say to you, not even Solomon, in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.

27. Promotrite ljiljane, kako niti predu niti tkaju, a kažem vam: ni Salomon se u svoj svojoj slavi ne zaodjenu kao jedan od njih.

28. Therefore, if God so clothes the grass, which is in the field today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, how much more you, O little in faith?

28. Pa ako travu koja je danas u polju, a sutra se u peæ baca Bog tako odijeva, koliko li æe više vas, malovjerni!"

29. And so, do not choose to inquire as to what you will eat, or what you will drink. And do not choose to be lifted up on high.

29. "Zato i vi: ne tražite što æete jesti, što piti. Ne uznemirujte se!

30. For all these things are sought by the Gentiles of the world. And your Father knows that you have need of these things.

30. Ta sve to traže pogani ovoga svijeta. Otac vaš zna da vam je sve to potrebno.

31. Yet truly, seek first the kingdom of God, and his justice, and all these things shall be added to you.

31. Nego, tražite kraljevstvo njegovo, a to æe vam se nadodati!"

32. Do not be afraid, little flock; for it has pleased your Father to give you the kingdom.

32. "Ne boj se, stado malo: svidjelo se Ocu vašemu dati vam Kraljevstvo."

33. Sell what you possess, and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that will not wear out, a treasure that will not fall short, in heaven, where no thief approaches, and no moth corrupts.

33. "Prodajte što god imate i dajte za milostinju! Naèinite sebi kese koje ne stare, blago nepropadljivo na nebesima, kamo se kradljivac ne približava i gdje moljac ne rastaèe.

34. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

34. Doista, gdje vam je blago, ondje æe vam i srce biti."

35. Let your waists be girded, and let lamps be burning in your hands.

35. "Neka vam bokovi budu opasani i svjetiljke upaljene,

36. And let you yourselves be like men awaiting their lord, when he will return from the wedding; so that, when he arrives and knocks, they may open to him promptly.

36. a vi slièni ljudima što èekaju gospodara kad se vraæa sa svadbe da mu odmah otvore èim stigne i pokuca.

37. Blessed are those servants whom the Lord, when he returns, will find being vigilant. Amen I say to you, that he will gird himself and have them sit down to eat, while he, continuing on, will minister to them.

37. Blago onim slugama koje gospodar, kada doðe, naðe budne! Zaista, kažem vam, pripasat æe se, posaditi ih za stol pa æe pristupiti i posluživati ih.

38. And if he will return in the second watch, or if in the third watch, and if he will find them to be so: then blessed are those servants.

38. Pa doðe li o drugoj ili o treæoj straži i naðe ih tako, blago njima!"

39. But know this: that if the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly stand watch, and he would not permit his house to be broken into.

39. "A ovo znajte: kad bi domaæin znao u koji èas kradljivac dolazi, ne bi dao prokopati kuæe.

40. You also must be prepared. For the Son of man will return at an hour that you will not realize.”

40. I vi budite pripravni jer u èas kad i ne mislite Sin Èovjeèji dolazi."

41. Then Peter said to him, “Lord, are you telling this parable to us, or also to everyone?”

41. Nato æe Petar: "Gospodine, govoriš li tu prispodobu samo za nas ili i za sve?"

42. So the Lord said: “Who do you think is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his Lord has appointed over his family, in order to give them their measure of wheat in due time?

42. Reèe Gospodin: "Tko li je onaj vjerni i razumni upravitelj što æe ga gospodar postaviti nad svojom poslugom da im u pravo vrijeme daje obrok?

43. Blessed is that servant if, when his Lord will return, he will find him acting in this manner.

43. Blago onome sluzi kojega gospodar kada doðe, naðe da tako radi.

44. Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over all that he possesses.

44. Uistinu, kažem vam, postavit æe ga nad svim imanjem svojim."

45. But if that servant will have said in his heart, ‘My Lord has made a delay in his return,’ and if he has begun to strike the men and women servants, and to eat and drink, and to be inebriated,

45. "No rekne li taj sluga u srcu: 'Okasnit æe gospodar moj' pa stane tuæi sluge i sluškinje, jesti, piti i opijati se,

46. then the Lord of that servant will return on a day which he hoped not, and at an hour which he knew not. And he will separate him, and he will place his portion with that of the unfaithful.

46. doæi æe gospodar toga sluge u dan u koji mu se ne nada i u èas u koji i ne sluti; rasjeæi æe ga i dodijeliti mu udes meðu nevjernicima."

47. And that servant, who knew the will of his Lord, and who did not prepare and did not act according to his will, will be beaten many times over.

47. "I onaj sluga što je znao volju gospodara svoga, a nije bio spreman ili nije uèinio po volji njegovoj, dobit æe mnogo udaraca.

48. Yet he who did not know, and who acted in a way that deserves a beating, will be beaten fewer times. So then, of all to whom much has been given, much will be required. And of those to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be asked.

48. A onaj koji nije znao, ali je uèinio što zaslužuje udarce, dobit æe malo udaraca. Kome je god mnogo dano, od njega æe se mnogo iskati. Kome je mnogo povjereno, više æe se od njega iskati."

49. I have come to cast a fire upon the earth. And what should I desire, except that it may be kindled?

49. "Oganj doðoh baciti na zemlju pa što hoæu ako je veæ planuo!

50. And I have a baptism, with which I am to be baptized. And how I am constrained, even until it may be accomplished!

50. Ali krstom mi se krstiti i kakve li muke za me dok se to ne izvrši!"

51. Do you think that I have come to give peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.

51. "Mislite li da sam došao mir dati na zemlji? Nipošto, kažem vam, nego razdjeljenje.

52. For from this time on, there will be five in one house: divided as three against two, and as two against three.

52. Ta bit æe odsada petorica u jednoj kuæi razdijeljena: razdijelit æe se trojica protiv dvojice i dvojica protiv trojice -

53. A father will be divided against a son, and a son against his father; a mother against a daughter and a daughter against a mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”

53. otac protiv sina i sin protiv oca, mati protiv kæeri i kæi protiv matere, svekrva protiv snahe i snaha protiv svekrve."

54. And he also said to the crowds: “When you see a cloud rising from the setting of the sun, immediately you say, ‘A rain cloud is coming.’ And so it does.

54. Zatim je govorio mnoštvu: "Kad opazite da se oblak diže na zapadu, odmah kažete: 'Kiša æe!' I bude tako.

55. And when a south wind is blowing, you say, ‘It will be hot.’ And so it is.

55. Kad zapuše južnjak, kažete: 'Bit æe vruæine!' I bude.

56. You hypocrites! You discern the face of the heavens, and of the earth, yet how is it that you do not discern this time?

56. Licemjeri! Lice zemlje i neba umijete rasuditi, kako onda ovo vrijeme ne rasuðujete?"

57. And why do you not, even among yourselves, judge what is just?

57. "Zašto sami od sebe ne sudite što je pravo?

58. So, when you are going with your adversary to the ruler, while you are on the way, make an effort to be freed from him, lest perhaps he may lead you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison.

58. Kad s protivnikom ideš glavaru, na putu sve uloži da ga se oslobodiš pa te ne odvuèe k sucu. Sudac æe te predati izvršitelju, a izvršitelj baciti u tamnicu.

59. I tell you, you will not depart from there, until you have paid the very last coin.”

59. Kažem ti: neæeš iziæi odande dok ne isplatiš do posljednjega novèiæa."
