Matthew, 5

1. Then, seeing the crowds, he ascended the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples drew near to him,

1. Ugledavši mnoštvo, uziðe na goru. I kad sjede, pristupe mu uèenici.

2. and opening his mouth, he taught them, saying:

2. On progovori i stane ih nauèavati:

3. “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

3. "Blago siromasima duhom: njihovo je kraljevstvo nebesko!

4. Blessed are the meek, for they shall possess the earth.

4. Blago ožalošæenima: oni æe se utješiti!

5. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be consoled.

5. Blago krotkima: oni æe baštiniti zemlju!

6. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for justice, for they shall be satisfied.

6. Blago gladnima i žednima pravednosti: oni æe se nasititi!

7. Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

7. Blago milosrdnima: oni æe zadobiti milosrðe!

8. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

8. Blago èistima srcem: oni æe Boga gledati!

9. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

9. Blago mirotvorcima: oni æe se sinovima Božjim zvati!

10. Blessed are those who endure persecution for the sake of justice, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

10. Blago progonjenima zbog pravednosti: njihovo je kraljevstvo nebesko!"

11. Blessed are you when they have slandered you, and persecuted you, and spoken all kinds of evil against you, falsely, for my sake:

11. "Blago vama kad vas - zbog mene - pogrde i prognaju i sve zlo slažu protiv vas!

12. be glad and exult, for your reward in heaven is plentiful. For so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

12. Radujte se i klièite: velika je plaæa vaša na nebesima! Ta progonili su tako proroke prije vas!"

13. You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its saltiness, with what will it be salted? It is no longer useful at all, except to be cast out and trampled under by men.

13. "Vi ste sol zemlje. Ali ako sol obljutavi, èime æe se ona osoliti? Nije više ni za što, nego da se baci van i da ljudi po njoj gaze."

14. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.

14. "Vi ste svjetlost svijeta. Ne može se sakriti grad što leži na gori.

15. And they do not light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, so that it may shine to all who are in the house.

15. Niti se užiže svjetiljka da se stavi pod posudu, nego na svijeænjak da svijetli svima u kuæi.

16. So then, let your light shine in the sight of men, so that they may see your good works, and may glorify your Father, who is in heaven.

16. Tako neka svijetli vaša svjetlost pred ljudima da vide vaša dobra djela i slave Oca vašega koji je na nebesima."

17. Do not think that I have come to loosen the law or the prophets. I have not come to loosen, but to fulfill.

17. "Ne mislite da sam došao ukinuti Zakon ili Proroke. Nisam došao ukinuti, nego ispuniti.

18. Amen I say to you, certainly, until heaven and earth pass away, not one iota, not one dot shall pass away from the law, until all is done.

18. Zaista, kažem vam, dok ne proðe nebo i zemlja, ne, ni jedno slovce, ni jedan poteziæ iz Zakona neæe proæi, dok se sve ne zbude.

19. Therefore, whoever will have loosened one of the least of these commandments, and have taught men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But whoever will have done and taught these, such a one shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

19. Tko dakle ukine jednu od tih, pa i najmanjih zapovijedi i tako nauèi ljude, najmanji æe biti u kraljevstvu nebeskom. A tko ih bude vršio i druge uèio, taj æe biti velik u kraljevstvu nebeskom."

20. For I say to you, that unless your justice has surpassed that of the scribes and the Pharisees you shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.

20. "Uistinu kažem vam: ne bude li pravednost vaša veæa od pravednosti pismoznanaca i farizeja, ne, neæete uæi u kraljevstvo nebesko."

21. You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not murder; whoever will have murdered shall be liable to judgment.’

21. "Èuli ste da je reèeno starima: Ne ubij! Tko ubije, bit æe podvrgnut sudu.

22. But I say to you, that anyone who becomes angry with his brother shall be liable to judgment. But whoever will have called his brother, ‘Idiot,’ shall be liable to the council. Then, whoever will have called him, ‘Worthless,’ shall be liable to the fires of Hell.

22. A ja vam kažem: Svaki koji se srdi na brata svoga, bit æe podvrgnut sudu. A tko bratu rekne 'Glupane!', bit æe podvrgnut Vijeæu. A tko reèe: 'Luðaèe!', bit æe podvrgnut ognju paklenomu."

23. Therefore, if you offer your gift at the altar, and there you remember that your brother has something against you,

23. "Ako dakle prinosiš dar na žrtvenik pa se ondje sjetiš da tvoj brat ima nešto protiv tebe,

24. leave your gift there, before the altar, and go first to be reconciled to your brother, and then you may approach and offer your gift.

24. ostavi dar ondje pred žrtvenikom, idi i najprije se izmiri s bratom, a onda doði i prinesi dar."

25. Be reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are still on the way with him, lest perhaps the adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you will be thrown in prison.

25. "Nagodi se brzo s protivnikom dok si još s njim na putu, da te protivnik ne preda sucu, a sudac tamnièaru, pa da te ne bace u tamnicu.

26. Amen I say to you, that you shall not go forth from there, until you have repaid the last quarter.

26. Zaita, kažem ti, neæeš iziæi odande dok ne isplatiš do posljednjeg novèiæa."

27. You have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not commit adultery.’

27. "Èuli ste da je reèeno: Ne èini preljuba!

28. But I say to you, that anyone who will have looked at a woman, so as to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

28. A ja vam kažem: Tko god s požudom pogleda ženu, veæ je s njome uèinio preljub u srcu.

29. And if your right eye causes you to sin, root it out and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body be cast into Hell.

29. Ako te desno oko sablažnjava, iskopaj ga i baci od sebe. Ta bolje je da ti propadne jedan od udova, nego da ti cijelo tijelo bude baèeno u pakao.

30. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it away from you. For it is better for you that one of your members perish, than that your whole body go into Hell.

30. Ako te desnica tvoja sablažnjava, odsijeci je i baci od sebe. Ta bolje je da ti propadne jedan od udova, nego da ti cijelo tijelo ode u pakao."

31. And it has been said: ‘Whoever would dismiss his wife, let him give her a bill of divorce.’

31. "Reèeno je takoðer: Tko otpusti svoju ženu, neka joj dade otpusnicu.

32. But I say to you, that anyone who will have dismissed his wife, except in the case of fornication, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever will have married her who has been dismissed commits adultery.

32. A ja vam kažem: Tko god otpusti svoju ženu - osim zbog bludništva - navodi je na preljub i tko se god otpuštenom oženi, èini preljub."

33. Again, you have heard that it was said to the ancients: ‘You shall not swear falsely. For you shall repay your oaths to the Lord.’

33. "Èuli ste još da je reèeno starima: Ne zaklinji se krivo, nego izvrši Gospodinu svoje zakletve.

34. But I say to you, do not swear an oath at all, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God,

34. A ja vam kažem: Ne kunite se nikako! Ni nebom jer je prijestolje Božje.

35. nor by earth, for it is his footstool, nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great king.

35. Ni zemljom jer je podnožje njegovim nogama. Ni Jeruzalemom jer grad je Kralja velikoga!

36. Neither shall you swear an oath by your own head, because you are not able to cause one hair to become white or black.

36. Ni svojom se glavom ne zaklinji jer ni jedne vlasi ne možeš uèiniti bijelom ili crnom.

37. But let your word ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ For anything beyond that is of evil.

37. Vaša rijeè neka bude: 'Da, da, - ne, ne!' Što je više od toga, od Zloga je."

38. You have heard that it was said: ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’

38. "Èuli ste da je reèeno: Oko za oko, zub za zub!

39. But I say to you, do not resist one who is evil, but if anyone will have struck you on your right cheek, offer to him the other also.

39. A ja vam kažem: Ne opirite se Zlomu! Naprotiv, pljusne li te tko po desnom obrazu, okreni mu i drugi.

40. And anyone who wishes to contend with you in judgment, and to take away your tunic, release to him your cloak also.

40. Onomu tko bi se htio s tobom parnièiti da bi se domogao tvoje donje haljine prepusti i gornju.

41. And whoever will have compelled you for one thousand steps, go with him even for two thousand steps.

41. Ako te tko prisili jednu milju, poði s njim dvije.

42. Whoever asks of you, give to him. And if anyone would borrow from you, do not turn away from him.

42. Tko od tebe što zaište, podaj mu! I ne okreni se od onoga koji hoæe da mu pozajmiš."

43. You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor, and you shall have hatred for your enemy.’

43. "Èuli ste da je reèeno: Ljubi svoga bližnjega, a mrzi neprijatelja.

44. But I say to you: Love your enemies. Do good to those who hate you. And pray for those who persecute and slander you.

44. A ja vam kažem: Ljubite neprijatelje, molite za one koji vas progone

45. In this way, you shall be sons of your Father, who is in heaven. He causes his sun to rise upon the good and the bad, and he causes it to rain upon the just and the unjust.

45. da budete sinovi svoga oca koji je na nebesima, jer on daje da sunce njegovo izlazi nad zlima i dobrima i da kiša pada pravednicima i nepravednicima.

46. For if you love those who love you, what reward will you have? Do not even tax collectors behave this way?

46. Jer ako ljubite one koji vas ljube, kakva li vam plaæa? Zar to isto ne èine i carinici?

47. And if you greet only your brothers, what more have you done? Do not even the pagans behave this way?

47. I ako pozdravljate samo braæu, što osobito èinite? Zar to isto ne èine i pogani?"

48. Therefore, be perfect, even as your heavenly Father is perfect.”

48. "Budite dakle savršeni kao što je savršen Otac vaš nebeski!"
