Matthew, 22

1. And responding, Jesus again spoke to them in parables, saying:

1. Isus im ponovno prozbori u prispodobama:

2. “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who was king, who celebrated a wedding for his son.

2. "Kraljevstvo je nebesko kao kad neki kralj pripravi svadbu sinu svomu.

3. And he sent his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding. But they were not willing to come.

3. Posla sluge da pozovu uzvanike na svadbu. No oni ne htjedoše doæi.

4. Again, he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell the invited: Behold, I have prepared my meal. My bulls and fatlings have been killed, and all is ready. Come to the wedding.’

4. Opet posla druge sluge govoreæi: 'Recite uzvanicima: Evo, objed sam ugotovio. Junci su moji i tovljenici poklani i sve pripravljeno. Doðite na svadbu!'"

5. But they ignored this and they went away: one to his country estate, and another to his business.

5. "Ali oni ne mareæi odoše - jedan na svoju njivu, drugi za svojom trgovinom.

6. Yet truly, the rest took hold of his servants and, having treated them with contempt, killed them.

6. Ostali uhvate njegove sluge, zlostave ih i ubiju.

7. But when the king heard this, he was angry. And sending out his armies, he destroyed those murderers, and he burned their city.

7. Nato se kralj razgnjevi, posla svoju vojsku i pogubi one ubojice, a grad im spali."

8. Then he said to his servants: ‘The wedding, indeed, has been prepared. But those who were invited were not worthy.

8. "Tada kaže slugama: 'Svadba je, evo, pripravljena ali uzvanici ne bijahu dostojni.

9. Therefore, go out to the ways, and call whomever you will find to the wedding.’

9. Poðite stoga na raskršæa i koga god naðete, pozovite na svadbu!'"

10. And his servants, departing into the ways, gathered all those whom they found, bad and good, and the wedding was filled with guests.

10. "Sluge iziðoše na putove i sabraše sve koje naðoše - i zle i dobre. I svadbena se dvorana napuni gostiju.

11. Then the king entered to see the guests. And he saw a man there who was not clothed in a wedding garment.

11. Kad kralj uðe pogledati goste, spazi ondje èovjeka koji ne bijaše odjeven u svadbeno ruho.

12. And he said to him, ‘Friend, how is it that you have entered here without having a wedding garment?’ But he was dumbstruck.

12. Kaže mu: 'Prijatelju, kako si ovamo ušao bez svadbenoga ruha?' A on zanijemi.

13. Then the king said to the ministers: ‘Bind his hands and feet, and cast him into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

13. Tada kralj reèe poslužiteljima: 'Svežite mu ruke i noge i bacite ga van u tamu, gdje æe biti plaè i škrgut zubi.'

14. For many are called, but few are chosen.’ ”

14. Doista, mnogo je zvanih, malo izabranih."

15. Then the Pharisees, going out, took counsel as to how they might entrap him in speech.

15. Tada farizeji odoše i održaše vijeæe kako da Isusa uhvate u rijeèi.

16. And they sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying: “Teacher, we know that you are truthful, and that you teach the way of God in truth, and that the influence of others is nothing to you. For you do not consider the reputation of men.

16. Pošalju k njemu svoje uèenike s herodovcima da ga upitaju: "Uèitelju! Znamo da si istinit te po istini putu Božjem uèiš i ne mariš tko je tko jer nisi pristran.

17. Therefore, tell us, how does it seem to you? Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar, or not?”

17. Reci nam, dakle, što ti se èini: je li dopušteno dati porez caru ili nije?"

18. But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: “Why do you test me, you hypocrites?

18. Znajuæi njihovu opakost, reèe Isus: "Zašto me iskušavate, licemjeri?

19. Show me the coin of the census tax.” And they offered him a denarius.

19. Pokažite mi porezni novac!" Pružiše mu denar.

20. And Jesus said to them, “Whose image is this, and whose inscription?”

20. On ih upita: "Èija je ovo slika i natpis?"

21. They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Then render to Caesar what is of Caesar; and to God what is of God.”

21. Odgovore: "Carev." Kaže im: "Podajte dakle caru carevo, a Bogu Božje."

22. And hearing this, they wondered. And having left him behind, they went away.

22. Èuvši to, zadive se pa ga ostave i odu.

23. In that day, the Sadducees, who say there is to be no resurrection, approached him. And they questioned him,

23. Toga dana pristupiše k njemu saduceji, koji vele da nema uskrsnuæa, i upitaše ga:

24. saying: “Teacher, Moses said: If anyone will have died, having no son, his brother shall marry his wife, and he shall raise up offspring to his brother.

24. "Uèitelju, Mojsije reèe: Umre li tko bez djece, neka se njegov brat oženi njegovom ženom te podigne porod bratu svomu.

25. Now there were seven brothers with us. And the first, having taken a wife, died. And having no offspring, he left his wife to his brother:

25. Bijaše tako u nas sedmero braæe. Prvi se oženi i umrije bez poroda ostavivši ženu svom bratu.

26. similarly with the second, and the third, even to the seventh.

26. Tako i drugi i treæi, sve do sedmoga.

27. And last of all, the woman also passed away.

27. A nakon svih umrije i žena.

28. In the resurrection, then, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.”

28. Kojemu æe dakle od te sedmorice biti žena o uskrsnuæu? Jer sva su je sedmorica imala."

29. But Jesus responded to them by saying: “You have gone astray by knowing neither the Scriptures, nor the power of God.

29. Odgovori im Isus: "U zabludi ste jer ne razumijete Pisama ni sile Božje.

30. For in the resurrection, they shall neither marry, nor be given in marriage. Instead, they shall be like the Angels of God in heaven.

30. Ta u uskrsnuæu niti se žene niti udavaju, nego su kao anðeli na nebu.

31. But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken by God, saying to you:

31. A što se tièe uskrsnuæa mrtvih, zar niste èitali što vam reèe Bog:

32. ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?’ He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.”

32. Ja sam Bog Abrahamov, Bog Izakov i Bog Jakovljev? Nije on Bog mrtvih, nego živih!"

33. And when the crowds heard this, they wondered at his doctrine.

33. Èuvši to, mnoštvo osta zaneseno njegovim naukom.

34. But the Pharisees, hearing that he had caused the Sadducees to be silent, came together as one.

34. A kad su farizeji èuli kako ušutka saduceje, okupiše se,

35. And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him:

35. a jedan od njih, zakonoznanac, da ga iskuša, upita:

36. “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

36. "Uèitelju, koja ja zapovijed najveæa u Zakonu?"

37. Jesus said to him: “ ‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’

37. A on mu reèe: "Ljubi Gospodina Boga svojega svim srcem svojim, i svom dušom svojom, i svim umom svojim.

38. This is the greatest and first commandment.

38. To je najveæa i prva zapovijed.

39. But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’

39. Druga, ovoj slièna: Ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga.

40. On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.”

40. O tim dvjema zapovijedima visi sav Zakon i Proroci."

41. Then, when the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus questioned them,

41. Kad se farizeji skupiše, upita ih Isus:

42. saying: “What do you think about the Christ? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “David’s.”

42. "Što mislite o Kristu? Èiji je on sin?" Kažu mu: "Davidov."

43. He said to them: “Then how can David, in the Spirit, call him Lord, saying:

43. A on æe njima: "Kako ga onda David u Duhu naziva Gospodinom, kad veli:

44. ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool?’

44. Reèe Gospod Gospodinu mojemu: 'Sjedi mi zdesna dok ne položim neprijatelje tvoje za podnožje nogama tvojim?'

45. So then, if David calls him Lord, how can he be his son?”

45. Ako ga dakle David naziva Gospodinom, kako mu je sin?"

46. And no one was able to respond to him a word. And neither did anyone dare, from that day forward, to question him.

46. I nitko mu nije mogao odgovoriti ni rijeèi, niti se od toga dana tko usudio upitati ga bilo što.
