Matthew, 11

1. And it happened that, when Jesus had completed instructing his twelve disciples, he went away from there in order to teach and to preach in their cities.

1. Pošto Isus završi upuæivati dvanaestoricu uèenika, ode odande nauèavati i propovijedati po njihovim gradovima.

2. Now when John had heard, in prison, about the works of Christ, sending two of his disciples, he said to him,

2. A kad Ivan u tamnici doèu za djela Kristova, posla svoje uèenike

3. “Are you he who is to come, or should we expect another?”

3. da ga upitaju: "Jesi li ti Onaj koji ima doæi ili drugoga da èekamo?"

4. And Jesus, responding, said to them: “Go and report to John what you have heard and seen.

4. Isus im odgovori: "Poðite i javite Ivanu što ste èuli i vidjeli:

5. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead rise again, the poor are evangelized.

5. Slijepi progledaju, hromi hode, gubavi se èiste, gluhi èuju, mrtvi ustaju, siromasima se navješæuje Evanðelje.

6. And blessed is he who has found no offense in me.”

6. I blago onom tko se ne sablazni o mene."

7. Then, after they departed, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the desert to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

7. Kad oni odoše, poèe Isus govoriti mnoštvu o Ivanu: "Što ste izišli u pustinju gledati? Trsku koju vjetar ljulja?

8. So what did you go out to see? A man in soft garments? Behold, those who are clothed in soft garments are in the houses of kings.

8. Ili što ste izišli vidjeti? Èovjeka u mekušasto odjevena? Eno, oni što se mekušasto nose po kraljevskim su dvorima.

9. Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet.

9. Ili što ste izišli? Vidjeti proroka? Da, kažem vam, i više nego proroka.

10. For this is he, of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my Angel before your face, who shall prepare your way before you.’

10. On je onaj o kome je pisano: Evo, ja šaljem glasnika svoga pred licem tvojim da pripravi put pred tobom.

11. Amen I say to you, among those born of women, there has arisen no one greater than John the Baptist. Yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

11. Zaista, kažem vam, izmeðu roðenih od žene ne usta veæi od Ivana Krstitelja. A ipak, i najmanji u kraljevstvu nebeskom veæi je od njega!

12. But from the days of John the Baptist, even until now, the kingdom of heaven has endured violence, and the violent carry it away.

12. A od dana Ivana Krstitelja do sada kraljevstvo nebesko silom se probija i siloviti ga grabe.

13. For all the prophets and the law prophesied, even until John.

13. Uistinu, svi proroci i Zakon prorokovahu do Ivana.

14. And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah, who is to come.

14. Zapravo ako hoæete: on je Ilija koji ima doæi."

15. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.

15. "Tko ima uši, neka èuje."

16. But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplace,

16. "A komu da prispodobim ovaj naraštaj? Nalik je djeci što sjede na trgovima pa jedni drugima dovikuju:

17. who, calling out to their companions, say: ‘We played music for you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not mourn.’

17. 'Zasvirasmo vam i ne zaigraste, zakukasmo i ne zaplakaste.'"

18. For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

18. "Doista, doðe Ivan. Nije jeo ni pio, a govori se: 'Ðavla ima.'

19. The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, ‘Behold, a man who eats voraciously and who drinks wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is justified by her sons.”

19. Doðe Sin Èovjeèji koji jede i pije, a govori se: 'Gle, izjelice i vinopije, prijatelja carinika i grešnika!' Ali opravda se Mudrost djelima svojim."

20. Then he began to rebuke the cities in which many of his miracles were accomplished, for they still had not repented.

20. Tada stane prekoravati gradove u kojima se dogodilo najviše njegovih èudesa, a oni se ne obratiše:

21. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in haircloth and ashes.

21. "Jao tebi, Korozaine! Jao tebi, Betsaido! Da su se u Tiru i Sidonu zbila èudesa koja su se dogodila u vama, odavna bi se veæ oni u kostrijeti i pepelu bili obratili.

22. Yet truly, I say to you, Tyre and Sidon shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.

22. Ali kažem vam: Tiru i Sidonu bit æe na Dan sudnji lakše negoli vama."

23. And you, Capernaum, would you be exalted all the way to heaven? You shall descend all the way to Hell. For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Sodom, perhaps it would have remained, even to this day.

23. "I ti, Kafarnaume! Zar æeš se do neba uzvisiti? Do u Podzemlje æeš se strovaliti! Doista, da su se u Sodomi zbila èudesa koja su se dogodila u tebi, ostala bi ona do danas.

24. Yet truly, I say to you, that the land of Sodom shall be forgiven more than you, on the day of judgment.”

24. Ali kažem vam: Zemlji æe sodomskoj biti na Dan sudnji lakše nego tebi."

25. At that time, Jesus responded and said: “I acknowledge you, Father, Lord of Heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the prudent, and have revealed them to little ones.

25. U ono vrijeme reèe Isus: "Slavim te, Oèe, Gospodaru neba i zemlje, što si ovo sakrio od mudrih i umnih, a objavio malenima.

26. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.

26. Da, Oèe, tako se tebi svidjelo.

27. All things have been delivered to me by my Father. And no one knows the Son except the Father, nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and those to whom the Son is willing to reveal him.

27. Sve je meni predao Otac moj i nitko ne pozna Sina doli Otac niti tko pozna Oca doli Sin i onaj kome Sin hoæe objaviti."

28. Come to me, all you who labor and have been burdened, and I will refresh you.

28. "Doðite k meni svi koji ste izmoreni i optereæeni i ja æu vas odmoriti.

29. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you shall find rest for your souls.

29. Uzmite jaram moj na sebe, uèite se od mene jer sam krotka i ponizna srca i naæi æete spokoj dušama svojim.

30. For my yoke is sweet and my burden is light.”

30. Uistinu, jaram je moj sladak i breme moje lako."
