Matthew, 24

1. And Jesus departed from the temple and went away. And his disciples approached him, so as to show him the buildings of the temple.

1. Isus iziðe iz Hrama. Putom mu pristupiše uèenici pokazujuæi mu hramsko zdanje.

2. But he said to them in response: “Do you see all these things? Amen I say to you, there shall not remain here stone upon stone, which is not torn down.”

2. A on im reèe: "Ne vidite li sve ovo? Zaista, kažem vam, ne, neæe se ovdje ostaviti ni kamen na kamenu nerazvaljen."

3. Then, when he was seated at the Mount of Olives, the disciples drew near to him privately, saying: “Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of your advent and of the consummation of the age?”

3. Dok je zatim na Maslinskoj gori sjedio, pristupiše k njemu uèenici nasamo govoreæi: "Reci nam kada æe to biti i koji æe biti znak tvojega Dolaska i svršetka svijeta?"

4. And answering, Jesus said to them: “Pay attention, lest someone lead you astray.

4. Isus im odgovori: "Pazite da vas tko ne zavede!

5. For many will come in my name saying, ‘I am the Christ.’ And they will lead many astray.

5. Mnogi æe doista doæi u moje ime i govoriti: 'Ja sam Krist!' I mnoge æe zavesti."

6. For you will hear of battles and rumors of battles. Take care not to be disturbed. For these things must be, but the end is not so soon.

6. "A èut æete za ratove i za glasove o ratovima. Pazite, ne uznemirujte se. Doista treba da se to dogodi, ali to još nije svršetak.

7. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be pestilences, and famines, and earthquakes in places.

7. Narod æe ustati protiv naroda i kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva; bit æe gladi i potresa po raznim mjestima.

8. But all these things are just the beginning of the sorrows.

8. Ali sve je to samo poèetak trudova."

9. Then they will hand you over to tribulation, and they will kill you. And you will be hated by all nations for the sake of my name.

9. "Tada æe vas predavati na muke i ubijati vas. I svi æe vas narodi zamrziti zbog imena moga.

10. And then many will be led into sin, and will betray one another, and will have hatred for one another.

10. Mnogi æe se tada sablazniti, izdavat æe jedni druge i mrziti se meðu sobom.

11. And many false prophets will arise, and they will lead many astray.

11. Ustat æe mnogi lažni proroci i mnoge zavesti.

12. And because iniquity has abounded, the charity of many will grow cold.

12. Razmahat æe se bezakonje i ohladnjeti ljubav mnogih.

13. But whoever will have persevered until the end, the same shall be saved.

13. Ali tko ustraje do svršetka, bit æe spašen."

14. And this Gospel of the kingdom shall be preached throughout the entire world, as a testimony to all nations. And then the consummation will occur.

14. "I propovijedat æe se ovo evanðelje Kraljevstva po svem svijetu za svjedoèanstvo svim narodima. Tada æe doæi svršetak."

15. Therefore, when you will have seen the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place, may he who reads understand,

15. "Kada dakle vidite da grozota pustoši, po proroštvu Daniela proroka, stoluje na svetome mjestu - tko èita, neka razumije:

16. then those who are in Judea, let them flee to the mountains.

16. koji se tada zateknu u Judeji, neka bježe u gore;

17. And whoever is on the roof, let him not descend to take anything from his house.

17. tko bude na krovu, neka ne silazi uzeti što iz kuæe;

18. And whoever is in the field, let him not turn back to take his tunic.

18. i tko bude u polju, neka se ne okreæe natrag da uzme haljinu!"

19. So then, woe to those who are pregnant or nursing in those days.

19. "A jao trudnicama i dojiljama u one dane!"

20. But pray that your flight may not be in winter, or on the Sabbath.

20. "I molite da bijeg vaš ne bude zimi ili subotom

21. For then there will be a great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until the present, and such as will not be.

21. jer tada æe biti velika tjeskoba kakve ne bijaše od poèetka svijeta sve do sada, a neæe je ni biti."

22. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh would be saved. But for the sake of the elect, those days shall be shortened.

22. "I kad se ne bi skratili dani oni, nitko se ne bi spasio. No poradi izabranih skratit æe se dani oni."

23. Then if anyone will have said to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘he is there,’ do not be willing to believe it.

23. "Ako vam tada tko rekne: 'Gle, evo Krista!' ili: 'Eno ga!' - ne povjerujte!

24. For there will arise false Christs and false prophets. And they will produce great signs and wonders, so much so as to lead into error even the elect (if this could be).

24. Ustat æe, doista, lažni kristi i lažni proroci i iznijeti znamenja velika i èudesa da, bude li moguæe, zavedu i izabrane."

25. Behold, I have warned you beforehand.

25. "Eto, prorekao sam vam."

26. Therefore, if they will have said to you, ‘Behold, he is in the desert,’ do not choose to go out, or, ‘Behold, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not be willing to believe it.

26. "Reknu li vam dakle: 'Evo, u pustinji je!', ne izlazite; 'Evo ga u ložnicama!', ne vjerujte.

27. For just as lightning goes out from the east, and appears even in the west, so shall it be also at the advent of the Son of man.

27. Jer kao što munja izlazi od istoka i bljesne do zapada, tako æe biti i s dolaskom Sina Èovjeèjega."

28. Wherever the body shall be, there also will the eagles be gathered together.

28. "Gdje bude strvine, ondje æe se skupljati orlovi."

29. And immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

29. "A odmah nakon nevolje onih dana sunce æe pomrèati i mjesec neæe više svijetljeti i zvijezde æe s neba padati i sile æe se nebeske poljuljati."

30. And then the sign of the Son of man shall appear in heaven. And then all tribes of the earth shall mourn. And they shall see the Son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with great power and majesty.

30. "I tada æe se pojaviti znak Sina Èovjeèjega na nebu. I tada æe proplakati sva plemena zemlje. I ugledat æe Sina Èovjeèjega gdje dolazi na oblacima nebeskim s velikom moæi i slavom.

31. And he shall send out his Angels with a trumpet and a great voice. And they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from the heights of the heavens, even to their furthest limits.

31. I razaslat æe anðele svoje s trubljom velikom i sabrat æe mu izabranike s èetiri vjetra, s jednoga kraja neba do drugoga."

32. So, from the fig tree learn a parable. When its branch has now become tender and the leaves have sprung forth, you know that summer is near.

32. "A od smokve se nauèite prispodobi! Kad joj grana veæ omekša i lišæe potjera, znate: blizu je ljeto.

33. So also, when you will have seen all these things, know that it is near, even at the threshold.

33. Tako i vi kad sve to ugledate, znajte: blizu je, na vratima!"

34. Amen I say to you, that this lineage shall not pass away, until all these things have been done.

34. "Zaista, kažem vam, ne, neæe uminuti naraštaj ovaj dok se sve to ne zbude.

35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

35. Nebo æe i zemlja uminuti, ali rijeèi moje ne, neæe uminuti."

36. But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the Angels of the heavens, but only the Father.

36. "A o onom danu i èasu nitko ne zna, pa ni anðeli nebeski, ni Sin, nego samo Otac.

37. And just as in the days of Noah, so also will be the advent of the Son of man.

37. Kao u dane Noine, tako æe biti i Dolazak Sina Èovjeèjega.

38. For it will be just as it was in the days before the flood: eating and drinking, marrying and being given in marriage, even until that day when Noah entered into the ark.

38. Kao što su u dane one - prije potopa - jeli i pili, ženili se i udavali do dana kad Noa uðe u korablju

39. And they did not realize it, until the flood came and took them all away. So also will the advent of the Son of man be.

39. i ništa nisu ni slutili dok ne doðe potop i sve odnije - tako æe biti i Dolazak Sina Èovjeèjega.

40. Then two men will be in a field: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.

40. Dvojica æe tada biti u polju: jedan æe se uzeti, drugi ostaviti.

41. Two women will be grinding at a millstone: one will be taken up, and one will be left behind.

41. Dvije æe mljeti u mlinu: jedna æe se uzeti, druga ostaviti."

42. Therefore, be vigilant. For you do not know at what hour your Lord will return.

42. "Bdijte dakle jer ne znate u koji dan Gospodin vaš dolazi.

43. But know this: if only the father of the family knew at what hour the thief would arrive, he would certainly keep vigil and not permit his house to be broken into.

43. A ovo znajte: kad bi domaæin znao o kojoj straži kradljivac dolazi, bdio bi i ne bi dopustio potkopati kuæe.

44. For this reason, you also must be prepared, for you do not know at what hour the Son of man will return.

44. Zato i vi budite pripravni jer u èas kad i ne mislite Sin Èovjeèji dolazi."

45. Consider this: who is a faithful and prudent servant, who has been appointed by his lord over his family, to give them their portion in due time?

45. "Tko li je onaj vjerni i razumni sluga što ga gospodar postavi nad svojim ukuæanima da im izda hranu u pravo vrijeme?

46. Blessed is that servant, if, when his lord has arrived, he shall find him doing so.

46. Blago onome sluzi kojega gospodar kada doðe naðe da tako radi!

47. Amen I say to you, he shall appoint him over all of his goods.

47. Zaista, kažem vam, postavit æe ga nad svim imanjem svojim."

48. But if that evil servant has said in his heart, ‘My lord has been delayed in returning,’

48. "No rekne li taj zli sluga u srcu: 'Okasnit æe gospodar moj'

49. and so, he begins to strike his fellow servants, and he eats and drinks with the inebriated:

49. pa stane tuæi sudrugove, jesti i piti s pijanicama,

50. then the lord of that servant will arrive on a day that he does not expect, and at an hour that he does not know.

50. doæi æe gospodar toga sluge u dan u koji mu se ne nada i u èas u koji i ne sluti;

51. And he shall separate him, and he shall place his portion with the hypocrites, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

51. rasjeæi æe ga i dodijeliti mu udes meðu licemjerima. Ondje æe biti plaè i škrgut zubi."
