Luke, 16

1. And he also said to his disciples: “A certain man was wealthy, and he had a steward of his estate. And this man was accused to him of having dissipated his goods.

1. Govoraše i svojim uèenicima: "Bijaše neki bogat èovjek koji je imao upravitelja.

2. And he called him and said to him: ‘What is this that I hear about you? Give an account of your stewardship. For you can no longer be my steward.’

2. Ovaj je bio optužen pred njim kao da mu rasipa imanje. On ga pozva pa mu reèe: 'Što to èujem o tebi? Položi raèun o svom upravljanju jer više ne možeš biti upravitelj!'

3. And the steward said within himself: ‘What shall I do? For my lord is taking the stewardship away from me. I am not strong enough to dig. I am too ashamed to beg.

3. Nato upravitelj reèe u sebi: 'Što da uèinim kad mi gospodar moj oduzima upravu? Kopati? Nemam snage. Prositi? Stidim se.

4. I know what I will do so that, when I have been removed from the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses.’

4. Znam što æu da me prime u svoje kuæe kad budem maknut s uprave.'"

5. And so, calling together each one of his lord’s debtors, he said to the first, ‘How much do you owe my lord?’

5. "I pozva dužnike svoga gospodara, jednog po jednog. Upita prvoga: 'Koliko duguješ gospodaru mojemu?' On reèe: 'Sto bata ulja.'

6. So he said, ‘One hundred jars of oil.’ And he said to him, ‘Take your invoice, and quickly, sit down and write fifty.’

6. A on æe mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu, sjedni brzo, napiši pedeset.'

7. Next, he said to another, ‘In truth, how much do you owe?’ And he said, ‘One hundred measures of wheat.’ He said to him, ‘Take your record books, and write eighty.’

7. Zatim reèe drugomu: 'A ti, koliko ti duguješ?' On odgovori: 'Sto kora pšenice.' Kaže mu: 'Uzmi svoju zadužnicu i napiši osamdeset.'"

8. And the lord praised the iniquitous steward, in that he had acted prudently. For the sons of this age are more prudent with their generation than are the sons of light.

8. "I pohvali gospodar nepoštenog upravitelja što snalažljivo postupi jer sinovi su ovoga svijeta snalažljiviji prema svojima od sinova svjetlosti."

9. And so I say to you, make friends for yourself using iniquitous mammon, so that, when you will have passed away, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles.

9. "I ja vama kažem: napravite sebi prijatelje od nepoštena bogatstva pa kad ga nestane da vas prime u vjeène šatore."

10. Whoever is faithful in what is least, is also faithful in what is greater. And whoever is unjust in what is small, is also unjust in what is greater.

10. "Tko je vjeran u najmanjem, i u najveæem je vjeran; a tko je u najmanjem nepošten, i u najveæem je nepošten.

11. So then, if you have not been faithful with iniquitous mammon, who will trust you with what is true?

11. Ako dakle ne bijaste vjerni u nepoštenom bogatstvu, tko li æe vam istinsko povjeriti?

12. And if you have not been faithful with what belongs to another, who will give you what is yours?

12. I ako u tuðem ne bijaste vjerni, tko li æe vam vaše dati?"

13. No servant is able to serve two lords. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will cling to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.”

13. "Nijedan sluga ne može služiti dvojici gospodara. Ili æe jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili æe uz jednoga prianjati, a drugoga prezirati. Ne možete služiti Bogu i bogatstvu."

14. But the Pharisees, who were greedy, were listening to all these things. And they ridiculed him.

14. Sve su to slušali farizeji, srebroljupci, i rugali mu se.

15. And he said to them: “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of men. But God knows your hearts. For what is lifted up by men is an abomination in the sight of God.

15. On im reèe: "Vi se pravite pravedni pred ljudima, ali zna Bog srca vaša. Jer što je ljudima uzvišeno, odvratnost je pred Bogom."

16. The law and the prophets were until John. Since then, the kingdom of God is being evangelized, and everyone acts with violence toward it.

16. "Zakon i Proroci do Ivana su, a otada se navješæuje kraljevstvo Božje i svatko se u nj silom probija.

17. But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one dot of the law to fall away.

17. Lakše æe nebo i zemlja proæi, negoli propasti i jedan poteziæ Zakona."

18. Everyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And whoever marries her who has been divorced by her husband commits adultery.

18. "Tko god otpusti svoju ženu pa se oženi drugom, èini preljub. I tko se god oženi otpuštenom, èini preljub."

19. A certain man was wealthy, and he was clothed in purple and in fine linen. And he feasted splendidly every day.

19. "Bijaše neki bogataš. Odijevao se u grimiz i tanani lan i danomice se sjajno gostio.

20. And there was a certain beggar, named Lazarus, who lay at his gate, covered with sores,

20. A neki siromah, imenom Lazar, ležao je sav u èirevima pred njegovim vratima

21. wanting to be filled with the crumbs which were falling from the wealthy man’s table. But no one gave it to him. And even the dogs came and licked his sores.

21. i priželjkivao nasititi se onim što je padalo s bogataševa stola. Èak su i psi dolazili i lizali mu èireve."

22. Then it happened that the beggar died, and he was carried by the Angels into the bosom of Abraham. Now the wealthy man also died, and he was entombed in Hell.

22. "Kad umrije siromah, odnesoše ga anðeli u krilo Abrahamovo. Umrije i bogataš te bude pokopan.

23. Then lifting up his eyes, while he was in torments, he saw Abraham far away, and Lazarus in his bosom.

23. Tada u teškim mukama u paklu, podiže svoje oèi te izdaleka ugleda Abrahama i u krilu mu Lazara

24. And crying out, he said: ‘Father Abraham, take pity on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water to refresh my tongue. For I am tortured in this fire.’

24. pa zavapi: 'Oèe Abrahame, smiluj mi se i pošalji Lazara da umoèi vršak svoga prsta u vodu i rashladi mi jezik jer se strašno muèim u ovom plamenu.'

25. And Abraham said to him: ‘Son, recall that you received good things in your life, and in comparison, Lazarus received bad things. But now he is consoled, and truly you are tormented.

25. Reèe nato Abraham: 'Sinko! Sjeti se da si za života primio dobra svoja, a tako i Lazar zla. Sada se on ovdje tješi, a ti se muèiš.

26. And besides all this, between us and you a great chaos has been established, so that those who might want to cross from here to you are not able, nor can someone cross from there to here.’

26. K tome izmeðu nas i vas zjapi provalija golema te koji bi i htjeli prijeæi odavde k vama, ne mogu, a ni odatle k nama prijelaza nema.'"

27. And he said: ‘Then, father, I beg you to send him to my father’s house, for I have five brothers,

27. "Nato æe bogataš: 'Molim te onda, oèe, pošalji Lazara u kuæu oca moga.

28. so that he may testify to them, lest they also come into this place of torments.’

28. Imam petero braæe pa neka im posvjedoèi da i oni ne doðu u ovo mjesto muka.'

29. And Abraham said to him: ‘They have Moses and the prophets. Let them listen to them.’

29. Kaže Abraham: 'Imaju Mojsija i Proroke! Njih neka poslušaju!'

30. So he said: ‘No, father Abraham. But if someone were to go to them from the dead, they would repent.’

30. A on æe: 'O ne, oèe Abrahame! Nego doðe li tko od mrtvih k njima, obratit æe se.'

31. But he said to him: ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets, neither will they believe even if someone has resurrected from the dead.’ ”

31. Reèe mu: 'Ako ne slušaju Mojsija i Proroka, neæe povjerovati sve da i od mrtvih tko ustane.'"
