Matthew, 10

1. And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to cure every sickness and every infirmity.

1. Dozva dvanaestoricu svojih uèenika i dade im vlast nad neèistim dusima: da ih izgone i da lijeèe svaku bolest i svaku nemoæ.

2. Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these: the First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

2. A ovo su imena dvanaestorice apostola: prvi Šimun, zvani Petar, i Andrija, brat njegov; i Jakov, sin Zebedejev, i Ivan brat njegov;

3. James of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,

3. Filip i Bartolomej; Toma i Matej carinik; Jakov Alfejev i Tadej;

4. Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

4. Šimun Kananaj i Juda Iškariotski, koji ga izda.

5. Jesus sent these twelve, instructing them, saying: “Do not travel by the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into the city of the Samaritans,

5. Tu dvanaestoricu posla Isus uputivši ih: "K poganima ne idite i ni u koji samarijski grad ne ulazite!

6. but instead go to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.

6. Poðite radije k izgubljenim ovcama doma Izraelova!

7. And going forth, preach, saying: ‘For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.’

7. Putom propovijedajte: 'Približilo se kraljevstvo nebesko!'

8. Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.

8. Bolesne lijeèite, mrtve uskrisujte, gubave èistite, zloduhe izgonite! Besplatno primiste, besplatno dajte!

9. Do not choose to possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your belts,

9. Ne stjeèite zlata, ni srebra, ni mjedi sebi u pojase,

10. nor provisions for the journey, nor two tunics, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer deserves his portion.

10. ni putne torbe, ni dviju haljina, ni obuæe, ni štapa. Ta vrijedan je radnik hrane svoje."

11. Now, into whatever city or town you will enter, inquire as to who is worthy within it. And stay there until you depart.

11. "U koji god grad ili selo uðete, razvidite tko je u njemu dostojan: ondje ostanite sve dok ne odete.

12. Then, when you enter into the house, greet it, saying, ‘Peace to this house.’

12. Ulazeæi u kuæu, zaželite joj mir.

13. And if, indeed, that house is worthy, your peace will rest upon it. But if it is not worthy, your peace will return to you.

13. Bude li kuæa dostojna, neka mir vaš siðe na nju. Ne bude li dostojna, neka se mir vaš k vama vrati.

14. And whoever has neither received you, nor listened to your words, departing from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

14. Gdje vas ne prime i ne poslušaju rijeèi vaših, iziðite iz kuæe ili grada toga i prašinu otresite sa svojih nogu.

15. Amen I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

15. Zaista, kažem vam, lakše æe biti zemlji sodomskoj i gomorskoj na Dan sudnji negoli gradu tomu."

16. Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be as prudent as serpents and as simple as doves.

16. "Evo, ja vas šaljem kao ovce meðu vukove. Budite dakle mudri kao zmije, a bezazleni kao golubovi!

17. But beware of men. For they will hand you over to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

17. Èuvajte se ljudi, jer æe vas predavati vijeæima i po svojim æe vas sinagogama bièevati.

18. And you shall be led before both rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

18. Pred upravitelje i kraljeve vodit æe vas poradi mene, za svjedoèanstvo njima i poganima.

19. But when they hand you over, do not choose to think about how or what to speak. For what to speak shall be given to you in that hour.

19. Kad vas predadu, ne budite zabrinuti kako ili što æete govoriti. Dat æe vam se u onaj èas što æete govoriti.

20. For it is not you who will be speaking, but the Spirit of your Father, who will speak in you.

20. Ta ne govorite to vi, nego Duh Oca vašega govori u vama!"

21. And brother will hand over brother to death, and father will hand over son. And children will rise up against parents and bring about their deaths.

21. "Brat æe brata predavati na smrt i otac dijete. Djeca æe ustajati na roditelje i ubijati ih.

22. And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered, even to the end, the same shall be saved.

22. Svi æe vas zamrziti zbog imena moga. Ali tko ustraje do svršetka, bit æe spašen."

23. Now when they persecute you in one city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you will not have exhausted all the cities of Israel, before the Son of man returns.

23. "Kad vas stanu progoniti u jednom gradu, bježite u drugi. Zaista, kažem vam, neæete obiæi gradova izraelskih prije nego što doðe Sin Èovjeèji."

24. The disciple is not above the teacher, nor is the servant above his master.

24. "Nije uèenik nad uèiteljem niti sluga nad gospodarom svojim.

25. It is sufficient for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant, like his master. If they have called the Father of the family, ‘Beelzebub,’ how much more those of his household?

25. Dosta je da uèenik bude kao njegov uèitelj i sluga kao njegov gospodar. Ako su domaæina Beelzebulom nazvali, koliko æe više njegove ukuæane?"

26. Therefore, do not fear them. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known.

26. "Ne bojte ih se dakle. Ta ništa nije skriveno što se neæe otkriti ni tajno što se neæe doznati.

27. What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light. And what you hear whispered in the ear, preach above the rooftops.

27. Što vam govorim u tami, recite na svjetlu; i što na uho èujete, propovijedajte na krovovima."

28. And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But instead fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell.

28. "Ne bojte se onih koji ubijaju tijelo, ali duše ne mogu ubiti. Bojte se više onoga koji može i dušu i tijelo pogubiti u paklu."

29. Are not two sparrows sold for one small coin? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father.

29. "Ne prodaju li se dva vrapca za novèiæ? Pa ipak ni jedan od njih ne pada na zemlju bez Oca vašega.

30. For even the hairs of your head have all been numbered.

30. A vama su i vlasi na glavi sve izbrojene.

31. Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.

31. Ne bojte se dakle! Vredniji ste nego mnogo vrabaca."

32. Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.

32. "Tko god se, dakle, prizna mojim pred ljudima, priznat æu se i ja njegovim pred Ocem, koji je na nebesima.

33. But whoever will have denied me before men, I also will deny before my Father, who is in heaven.

33. A tko se odreèe mene pred ljudima, odreæi æu se i ja njega pred svojim Ocem, koji je na nebesima."

34. Do not think that I came to send peace upon the earth. I came, not to send peace, but the sword.

34. "Ne mislite da sam došao mir donijeti na zemlju. Ne, nisam došao donijeti mir, nego maè.

35. For I came to divide a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

35. Ta došao sam rastaviti èovjeka od oca njegova i kæer od majke njezine i snahu od svekrve njezine;

36. And the enemies of a man will be those of his own household.

36. i neprijatelji æe èovjeku biti ukuæani njegovi.

37. Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

37. "Tko ljubi oca ili majku više nego mene, nije mene dostojan. Tko ljubi sina ili kæer više nego mene, nije mene dostojan.

38. And whoever does not take up his cross, and follow me is not worthy of me.

38. Tko ne uzme svoga križa i ne poðe za mnom, nije mene dostojan.

39. Whoever finds his life, will lose it. And whoever will have lost his life because of me, shall find it.

39. Tko naðe život svoj, izgubit æe ga, a tko izgubi svoj život poradi mene, naæi æe ga."

40. Whoever receives you, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me.

40. "Tko vas prima, mene prima; a tko prima mene, prima onoga koji je mene poslao.

41. Whoever receives a prophet, in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet. And whoever receives the just in the name of the just shall receive the reward of the just.

41. Tko prima proroka jer je prorok, primit æe plaæu proroèku; tko prima pravednika jer je pravednik, primit æe plaæu pravednièku.

42. And whoever shall give, even to one of the least of these, a cup of cold water to drink, solely in the name of a disciple: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”

42. Tko napoji jednoga od ovih najmanjih samo èašom hladne vode zato što je moj uèenik, zaista, kažem vam, neæe mu propasti plaæa."
