Matej 6
1 “Pazite da svoje pravednosti ne činite pred ljudima da vas oni vide. Inače, nema vam plaće u vašeg Oca koji je na nebesima.
'Take heed your kindness not to do before men, to be seen by them, and if not — reward ye have not from your Father who [is] in the heavens;
2 Kada dakle dijeliš milostinju, ne trubi pred sobom, kako to u sinagogama i na ulicama čine licemjeri da bi ih ljudi hvalili. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you — they have their reward!
3 Ti naprotiv, kada daješ milostinju - neka ti ne zna ljevica što čini desnica,
'But thou, doing kindness, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doth,
4 da tvoja milostinja bude u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti!”
that thy kindness may be in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret Himself shall reward thee manifestly.
5 “Tako i kad molite, ne budite kao licemjeri. Vole moliti stojeći u sinagogama i na raskršćima ulica da se pokažu ljudima. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
'And when thou mayest pray, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites, because they love in the synagogues, and in the corners of the broad places — standing — to pray, that they may be seen of men; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.
6 Ti naprotiv, kad moliš, uđi u svoju sobu, zatvori vrata i pomoli se svomu Ocu, koji je u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti.”
'But thou, when thou mayest pray, go into thy chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
7 “Kad molite, ne blebećite kao pogani. Misle da će s mnoštva riječi biti uslišani.
'And — praying — ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,
8 Ne nalikujte na njih. Ta zna vaš Otac što vam treba i prije negoli ga zaištete.
be ye not therefore like to them, for your Father doth know those things that ye have need of before your asking him;
9 Vi, dakle, ovako molite: 'Oče naš, koji jesi na nebesima! Sveti se ime tvoje!
thus therefore pray ye: 'Our Father who [art] in the heavens! hallowed be Thy name.
10 Dođi kraljevstvo tvoje! Budi volja tvoja kako na nebu tako i na zemlji!
'Thy reign come: Thy will come to pass, as in heaven also on the earth.
11 Kruh naš svagdanji daj nam danas!
'Our appointed bread give us to-day.
12 I opusti nam duge naše kako i mi otpustismo dužnicima svojim!
'And forgive us our debts, as also we forgive our debtors.
13 I ne uvedi nas u napast, nego izbavi nas od Zloga!'”
'And mayest Thou not lead us to temptation, but deliver us from the evil, because Thine is the reign, and the power, and the glory — to the ages. Amen.
14 “Doista, ako vi otpustite ljudima njihove prijestupke, otpustit će i vama Otac vaš nebeski.
'For, if ye may forgive men their trespasses He also will forgive you — your Father who [is] in the heavens;
15 Ako li vi ne otpustite ljudima, ni Otac vaš neće otpustiti vaših prijestupaka.”
but if ye may not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 “I kad postite, ne budite smrknuti kao licemjeri. Izobličuju lica da pokažu ljudima kako poste. Zaista, kažem vam, primili su svoju plaću.
'And when ye may fast, be ye not as the hypocrites, of sour countenances, for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear to men fasting; verily I say to you, that they have their reward.
17 Ti naprotiv, kad postiš, pomaži glavu i umij lice
'But thou, fasting, anoint thy head, and wash thy face,
18 da ne zapaze ljudi kako postiš, nego Otac tvoj, koji je u skrovitosti. I Otac tvoj, koji vidi u skrovitosti, uzvratit će ti.”
that thou mayest not appear to men fasting, but to thy Father who [is] in secret, and thy Father, who is seeing in secret, shall reward thee manifestly.
19 “Ne zgrćite sebi blago na zemlji, gdje ga moljac i rđa nagrizaju i gdje ga kradljivci potkapaju i kradu.
'Treasure not up to yourselves treasures on the earth, where moth and rust disfigure, and where thieves break through and steal,
20 Zgrćite sebi blago na nebu, gdje ga ni moljac ni rđa ne nagrizaju i gdje kradljivci ne potkapaju niti kradu.
but treasure up to yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth disfigure, and where thieves do not break through nor steal,
21 Doista, gdje ti je blago, ondje će ti biti i srce.”
for where your treasure is, there will be also your heart.
22 “Oko je tijelu svjetiljka. Ako ti je dakle oko bistro, sve će tijelo tvoje biti svijetlo.
'The lamp of the body is the eye, if, therefore, thine eye may be perfect, all thy body shall be enlightened,
23 Ako ti je pak oko nevaljalo, sve će tijelo tvoje biti tamno. Ako je dakle svjetlost koja je u tebi - tamna, kolika će istom tama biti?”
but if thine eye may be evil, all thy body shall be dark; if, therefore, the light that [is] in thee is darkness — the darkness, how great!
24 “Nitko ne može služiti dvojici gospodara. Ili će jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili će uz jednoga prianjati, a drugoga prezirati. Ne možete služiti Bogu i bogatstvu.”
'None is able to serve two lords, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one, and despise the other; ye are not able to serve God and Mammon.
25 “Zato vam kažem: Ne budite zabrinuti za život svoj: što ćete jesti, što ćete piti; ni za tijelo svoje: u što ćete se obući. Zar život nije vredniji od jela i tijelo od odijela?”
'Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, nor for your body, what ye may put on. Is not the life more than the nourishment, and the body than the clothing?
26 “Pogledajte ptice nebeske! Ne siju, ne žanju niti sabiru u žitnice, pa ipak ih hrani vaš nebeski Otac. Zar niste vi vredniji od njih?
look to the fowls of the heaven, for they do not sow, nor reap, nor gather into storehouses, and your heavenly Father doth nourish them; are not ye much better than they?
27 A tko od vas zabrinutošću može svome stasu dodati jedan lakat?
'And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
28 I za odijelo što ste zabrinuti? Promotrite poljske ljiljane, kako rastu! Ne muče se niti predu.
and about clothing why are ye anxious? consider well the lilies of the field; how do they grow? they do not labour, nor do they spin;
29 A kažem vam: ni Salomon se u svoj svojoj slavi ne zaodjenu kao jedan od njih.
and I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed as one of these.
30 Pa ako travu poljsku, koja danas jest a sutra se u peć baca, Bog tako odijeva, neće li još više vas, malovjerni?”
'And if the herb of the field, that to-day is, and to-morrow is cast to the furnace, God doth so clothe — not much more you, O ye of little faith?
31 “Nemojte dakle zabrinuto govoriti: 'Što ćemo jesti?' ili: 'Što ćemo piti?' ili: 'U što ćemo se obući?'
therefore ye may not be anxious, saying, What may we eat? or, What may we drink? or, What may we put round?
32 Ta sve to pogani ištu. Zna Otac vaš nebeski da vam je sve to potrebno.
for all these do the nations seek for, for your heavenly Father doth know that ye have need of all these;
33 Tražite stoga najprije Kraljevstvo i pravednost njegovu, a sve će vam se ostalo dodati.
but seek ye first the reign of God and His righteousness, and all these shall be added to you.
34 Ne budite dakle zabrinuti za sutra. Sutra će se samo brinuti za se. Dosta je svakom danu zla njegova.”
Be not therefore anxious for the morrow, for the morrow shall be anxious for its own things; sufficient for the day [is] the evil of it.
