Luke, 14

1. And it happened that, when Jesus entered the house of a certain leader of the Pharisees on the Sabbath to eat bread, they were observing him.

1. Jedne subote doðe on u kuæu nekoga prvaka farizejskog na objed. A oni ga vrebahu.

2. And behold, a certain man before him was afflicted with edema.

2. Kad evo: pred njim neki èovjek koji je imao vodenu bolest.

3. And responding, Jesus spoke to the experts in the law and to the Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to cure on the Sabbath?”

3. Nato Isus upita zakonoznance i farizeje: "Je li dopušteno subotom lijeèiti ili nije?"

4. But they kept silent. Yet truly, taking hold of him, he healed him and sent him away.

4. A oni mukom ponikoše. On ga dotaknu, izlijeèi i otpusti.

5. And responding to them, he said, “Which of you will have a donkey or an ox fall into a pit, and will not promptly pull him out, on the day of the Sabbath?”

5. A njima reèe: "Ako komu od vas sin ili vol padne u bunar, neæe li ga brže bolje izvuæi i u dan subotni?"

6. And they were unable to respond to him about these things.

6. I ne mogoše mu na to odgovoriti.

7. Then he also told a parable, to those who were invited, noticing how they chose the first seats at the table, saying to them:

7. Promatrajuæi kako uzvanici biraju prva mjesta, kaza im prispodobu:

8. “When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him.

8. "Kada te tko pozove na svadbu, ne sjedaj na prvo mjesto da ne bi možda bio pozvan koji èasniji od tebe,

9. And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, ‘Give this place to him.’ And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place.

9. te ne doðe onaj koji je pozvao tebe i njega i ne rekne ti: 'Ustupi mjesto ovome.' Tada æeš, postiðen, morati zauzeti posljednje mjesto.

10. But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you.

10. Nego kad budeš pozvan, idi i sjedni na posljednje mjesto pa, kada doðe onaj koji te pozvao, da ti rekne: 'Prijatelju, pomakni se naviše!' Bit æe ti to tada na èast pred svim sustolnicima,

11. For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”

11. jer - svaki koji se uzvisuje, bit æe ponižen, a koji se ponizuje, bit æe uzvišen."

12. Then he also said to the one who had invited him: “When you prepare a lunch or dinner, do not choose to call your friends, or your brothers, or your relatives, or your wealthy neighbors, lest perhaps they might then invite you in return and repayment would made to you.

12. A i onome koji ga pozva, kaza: "Kad prireðuješ objed ili veèeru, ne pozivaj svojih prijatelja, ni braæe, ni rodbine, ni bogatih susjeda, da ne bi možda i oni tebe pozvali i tako ti uzvratili.

13. But when you prepare a feast, call the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind.

13. Nego kad prireðuješ gozbu, pozovi siromahe, sakate, hrome, slijepe.

14. And you will be blessed because they do not have a way to repay you. So then, your recompense will be in the resurrection of the just.”

14. Blago tebi jer oni ti nemaju èime uzvratiti. Uzvratit æe ti se doista o uskrsnuæu pravednih."

15. When someone sitting at table with him had heard these things, he said to him, “Blessed is he who will eat bread in the kingdom of God.”

15. Kad je to èuo jedan od sustolnika, reèe mu: "Blago onome koji bude blagovao u kraljevstvu Božjem!"

16. So he said to him: “A certain man prepared a great feast, and he invited many.

16. A on mu reèe: "Èovjek neki priredi veliku veèeru i pozva mnoge.

17. And he sent his servant, at the hour of the feast, to tell the invited to come; for now everything was ready.

17. I posla slugu u vrijeme veèere da rekne uzvanicima: 'Doðite! Veæ je pripravljeno!'

18. And at once they all began to make excuses. The first said to him: ‘I bought a farm, and I need to go out and see it. I ask you to excuse me.’

18. A oni se odreda poèeli isprièavati. Prvi mu reèe: 'Njivu sam kupio i valja mi poæi pogledati je. Molim te, isprièaj me.'

19. And another said: ‘I bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine them. I ask you to excuse me.’

19. Drugi reèe: 'Kupio sam pet jarmova volova pa idem okušati ih. Molim te, isprièaj me.'

20. And another said, ‘I have taken a wife, and therefore I am not able to go.’

20. Treæi reèe: 'Oženio sam se i zato ne mogu doæi.'"

21. And returning, the servant reported these things to his lord. Then the father of the family, becoming angry, said to his servant: ‘Go out quickly into the streets and neighborhoods of the city. And lead here the poor, and the disabled, and the blind, and the lame.’

21. "Sluga se vrati i javi to domaæinu. Tada domaæin, gnjevan, reèe sluzi: 'Iziði brzo na trgove gradske i ulice pa dovedi ovamo prosjake, sakate, slijepe i hrome.'

22. And the servant said: ‘It has been done, just as you ordered, lord, and there is still room.’

22. I sluga reèe: 'Gospodaru, uèinjeno je što si naredio i još ima mjesta.'

23. And the lord said to the servant: ‘Go out to the highways and hedges, and compel them to enter, so that my house may be filled.

23. Reèe gospodar sluzi: 'Iziði na putove i meðu ograde i prisili neka uðu da mi se napuni kuæa.'

24. For I tell you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my feast.’ ”

24. A kažem vam: nijedan od onih pozvanih neæe okusiti moje veèere."

25. Now great crowds traveled with him. And turning around, he said to them:

25. S njim je zajedno putovalo silno mnoštvo. On se okrene i reèe im:

26. “If anyone comes to me, and does not hate his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yes, even his own life, he is not able to be my disciple.

26. "Doðe li tko k meni, a ne mrzi svog oca i majku, ženu i djecu, braæu i sestre, pa i sam svoj život, ne može biti moj uèenik!

27. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after me, is not able to be my disciple.

27. I tko ne nosi svoga križa i ne ide za mnom, ne može biti moj uèenik!"

28. For who among you, wanting to build a tower, would not first sit down and determine the costs that are required, to see if he has the means to complete it?

28. "Tko od vas, nakan graditi kulu, neæe prije sjesti i proraèunati troškove ima li èime dovršiti:

29. Otherwise, after he will have laid the foundation and not been able to finish it, everyone who sees it may begin to mock him,

29. da ga ne bi - pošto veæ postavi temelj, a ne mogne dovršiti - poèeli ismjehivati svi koji to vide:

30. saying: ‘This man began to build what he was not able to finish.’

30. 'Ovaj èovjek poèe graditi, a ne može dovršiti!'

31. Or, what king, advancing to engage in war against another king, would not first sit down and consider whether he may be able, with ten thousand, to meet one who comes against him with twenty thousand?

31. Ili koji kralj kad polazi da se zarati s drugim kraljem, neæe prije sjesti i promisliti da li s deset tisuæa može presresti onoga koji na nj dolazi s dvadeset tisuæa?

32. If not, then while the other is still far away, sending a delegation, he would ask him for terms of peace.

32. Ako ne može, dok je onaj još daleko, poslat æe poslanstvo da zaište mir."

33. Therefore, everyone of you who does not renounce all that he possesses is not able to be my disciple.

33. "Tako dakle nijedan od vas koji se ne odrekne svega što posjeduje, ne može biti moj uèenik."

34. Salt is good. But if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be seasoned?

34. "Dobra je sol. Ali ako i sol obljutavi, èime æe se ona zaèiniti?

35. It is useful neither in soil, nor in manure, so instead, it shall be thrown away. Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.”

35. Nije prikladna ni za zemlju ni za gnojište. Van se baca. Tko ima uši da èuje, neka èuje!"
