Matthew, 21

1. And when they had drawn near to Jerusalem, and had arrived at Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

1. Kad se približiše Jeruzalemu te doðoše u Betfagu, na Maslinskoj gori, posla Isus dvojicu uèenika

2. saying to them: “Go into the town that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Release them, and lead them to me.

2. govoreæi: "Poðite u selo pred vama i odmah æete naæi privezanu magaricu i uz nju magare. Odriješite ih i dovedite k meni.

3. And if anyone will have said anything to you, say that the Lord has need of them. And he will promptly dismiss them.”

3. Ako vam tko što rekne, recite: 'Gospodinu trebaju', i odmah æe ih pustiti."

4. Now all this was done in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying,

4. To se dogodi da se ispuni što je reèeno po proroku:

5. “Tell the daughter of Zion: Behold, your king comes to you meekly, sitting on a donkey and on a colt, the son of one accustomed to the yoke.”

5. Recite kæeri Sionskoj: Evo kralj ti tvoj dolazi, krotak, jašuæ na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magarièinu.

6. Then the disciples, going out, did just as Jesus instructed them.

6. Uèenici odu i uèine kako im naredi Isus.

7. And they brought the donkey and the colt, and they laid their garments on them, and they helped him sit upon them.

7. Dovedu magaricu i magare te stave na njih haljine i Isus uzjaha na njih.

8. Then a very numerous crowd spread their garments on the way. But others cut branches from the trees and scattered them on the way.

8. Silan svijet prostrije svoje haljine po putu, a drugi rezahu grane sa stabala i sterahu ih po putu.

9. And the crowds that preceded him, and those that followed, cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!”

9. Mnoštvo pak pred njim i za njim klicaše: "Hosana Sinu Davidovu! Blagoslovljen Onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje! Hosana u visinama!"

10. And when he had entered into Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”

10. Kad uðe u Jeruzalem, uskomešao se sav grad i govorio: "Tko je ovaj?"

11. But the people were saying, “This is Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”

11. A mnoštvo odgovaraše: "To je Prorok, Isus iz Nazareta galilejskoga."

12. And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and he cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of the vendors of doves.

12. Isus uðe u Hram i izagna sve koji su prodavali i kupovali u Hramu. Mjenjaèima isprevrta stolove i prodavaèima golubova klupe.

13. And he said to them: “It is written: ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer. But you have made it into a den of robbers.’ ”

13. Kaže im: "Pisamo je: Dom æe se moj zvati Dom molitve, a vi od njega èinite peæinu razbojnièku."

14. And the blind and the lame drew near to him in the temple; and he healed them.

14. U Hramu mu priðoše slijepi i hromi i on ih ozdravi.

15. Then the leaders of the priests and the scribes became indignant, seeing the miracles that he wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”

15. A kad glavari sveæenièki i pismoznanci vidješe èudesa koja uèini i djecu što vièu Hramom: "Hosana Sinu Davidovu!", gnjevni

16. And they said to him, “Do you hear what these ones are saying?” But Jesus said to them, “Certainly. Have you never read: For out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have perfected praise?”

16. mu rekoše: "Èuješ li što ovi govore?" Kaže im Isus: "Da! A niste li èitali: Iz usta djece i dojenèadi sebi si pripravio hvalu?"

17. And leaving them behind, he went out, beyond the city, into Bethania, and he lodged here.

17. On ih ostavi, poðe iz grada u Betaniju te ondje prenoæi.

18. Then, as he was returning to the city in the morning, he was hungry.

18. Ujutro se vraæao u grad i ogladnje.

19. And seeing a certain fig tree beside the way, he approached it. And he found nothing on it, except only leaves. And he said to it, “May fruit never spring forth from you, for all time.” And immediately the fig tree was dried up.

19. Ugleda smokvu kraj puta i priðe k njoj, ali ne naðe na njoj ništa osim lišæa pa joj kaže: "Ne bilo više ploda s tebe dovijeka!" I smokva umah usahnu.

20. And seeing this, the disciples wondered, saying, “How did it dry up so quickly?”

20. Vidjevši to, uèenici se zaèude: "Kako umah smokva usahnu!"

21. And Jesus responded to them by saying: “Amen I say to you, if you have faith and do not hesitate, not only shall you do this, concerning the fig tree, but even if you would say to this mountain, ‘Take and cast yourself into the sea,’ it shall be done.

21. Isus im odvrati: "Zaista, kažem vam, ako budete imali vjeru i ne posumnjate, èinit æete ne samo ovo sa smokvom, nego - reknete li i ovoj gori: 'Digni se i baci u more!', bit æe tako.

22. And all things whatsoever that you shall ask for in prayer: believing, you shall receive.”

22. I sve što zaištete u molitvi vjerujuæi, primit æete."

23. And when he had arrived at the temple, as he was teaching, the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people approached him, saying: “By what authority do you do these things? And who has given this authority to you?”

23. I uðe u Hram. Dok je nauèavao, pristupiše mu glavari sveæenièki i starješine narodne te ga upitaše: "Kojom vlašæu to èiniš? Tko ti dade tu vlast?"

24. In response, Jesus said to them: “I also will question you with one word: if you tell me this, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.

24. Isus im odgovori: "I ja æu vas jedno upitati. Ako mi na to odgovorite, ja æu vama kazati kojom vlašæu ovo èinim.

25. The baptism of John, where was it from? Was it from heaven, or from men?” But they thought within themselves, saying:

25. Krst Ivanov odakle li bijaše? Od Neba ili od ljudi?" A oni umovahu meðu sobom: "Reknemo li 'Od Neba', odvratit æe nam: 'Zašto mu, dakle, ne povjerovaste?'

26. “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we have the crowd to fear, for they all hold John to be a prophet.”

26. A reknemo li 'Od ljudi', strah nas je mnoštva. Ta svi Ivana smatraju prorokom."

27. And so, they answered Jesus by saying, “We do not know.” So he also said to them: “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

27. Zato odgovore Isusu: "Ne znamo." I on njima reèe: "Ni ja vama neæu kazati kojom vlašæu ovo èinim."

28. But how does it seem to you? A certain man had two sons. And approaching the first, he said: ‘Son, go out today to work in my vineyard.’

28. "A što vam se èini? Èovjek neki imao dva sina. Priðe prvomu i reèe: 'Sinko, hajde danas na posao u vinograd!'

29. And responding, he said, ‘I am not willing.’ But afterwards, being moved by repentance, he went.

29. On odgovori: 'Neæu!' No poslije se predomisli i ode.

30. And approaching the other, he spoke similarly. And answering, he said, ‘I am going, lord.’ And he did not go.

30. Priðe i drugomu pa mu reèe isto tako. A on odgovori: 'Evo me, gospodaru!' i ne ode.

31. Which of the two did the will of the father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that tax collectors and prostitutes shall precede you, into the kingdom of God.

31. Koji od te dvojice izvrši volju oèevu?" Kažu: "Onaj prvi." Nato æe im Isus: "Zaista, kažem vam, carinici i bludnice pretekoše vas u kraljevstvo Božje!

32. For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Yet even after seeing this, you did not repent, so as to believe him.

32. Doista, Ivan doðe k vama putom pravednosti i vi mu ne povjerovaste, a carinici mu i bludnice povjerovaše. Vi pak, makar to vidjeste, ni kasnije se ne predomisliste da mu povjerujete."

33. Listen to another parable. There was a man, the father of a family, who planted a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a press in it, and built a tower. And he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out to sojourn abroad.

33. "Drugu prispodobu èujte! Bijaše neki domaæin koji posadi vinograd, ogradi ga ogradom, iskopa u njemu tijesak i podiže kulu pa ga iznajmi vinogradarima i otputova.

34. Then, when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, so that they might receive its fruits.

34. Kad se približilo vrijeme plodova, posla svoje sluge vinogradarima da uzmu njegov urod.

35. And the farmers apprehended his servants; they struck one, and killed another, and stoned yet another.

35. A vinogradari pograbe njegove sluge pa jednoga istukoše, drugog ubiše, a treæega kamenovaše.

36. Again, he sent other servants, more than before; and they treated them similarly.

36. I opet posla druge sluge, više njih nego prije, ali oni i s njima postupiše jednako."

37. Then, at the very end, he sent his son to them, saying: ‘They will revere my son.’

37. "Naposljetku posla k njima sina svoga misleæi: 'Poštovat æe mog sina.'

38. But the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves: ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and then we will have his inheritance.’

38. Ali kad vinogradari ugledaju sina, rekoše meðu sobom: 'Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i imat æemo baštinu njegovu!'

39. And apprehending him, they cast him outside the vineyard, and they killed him.

39. I pograbe ga, izbace iz vinograda i ubiju."

40. Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those farmers?”

40. "Kada dakle doðe gospodar vinograda, što æe uèiniti s tim vinogradarima?"

41. They said to him, “He will bring those evil men to an evil end, and he will loan out his vineyard to other farmers, who shall repay to him the fruit in its time.”

41. Kažu mu: "Opake æe nemilo pogubiti, a vinograd iznajmiti drugim vinogradarima što æe mu davati urod u svoje vrijeme."

42. Jesus said to them: “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders have rejected has become the cornerstone. By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?’

42. Kaže im Isus: "Zar nikada niste èitali u Pismima: Kamen što ga odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavni. Gospodnje je to djelo - kakvo èudo u oèima našim!

43. Therefore, I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and it shall be given to a people who shall produce its fruits.

43. Zato æe se - kažem vam - oduzeti od vas kraljevstvo Božje i dat æe se narodu koji donosi njegove plodove! (

44. And whoever will have fallen on this stone shall be broken, yet truly, on whomever it shall fall, it will crush him.”

44. I tko padne na taj kamen, smrskat æe se, a na koga on padne, satrt æe ga.)"

45. And when the leaders of the priests, and the Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them.

45. Kad su glavari sveæenièki i farizeji èuli te njegove prispodobe, razumjeli su da govori o njima.

46. And though they sought to take hold of him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.

46. I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva jer ga je smatralo prorokom.
