Mateju 6
1 Pazite da pravdu svoju ne èinite pred ljudima da vas oni vide; inaèe plate nemate od oca svojega koji je na nebesima.
“Be careful that you don’t do your charitable giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
2 Kad dakle daješ milostinju, ne trubi pred sobom, kao što èine licemjeri po zbornicama i po ulicama da ih hvale ljudi. Zaisto vam kažem: primili su platu svoju.
Therefore, when you do merciful deeds, don’t sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may get glory from men. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3 A ti kad èiniš milostinju, da ne zna ljevaka tvoja što èini desnica tvoja.
But when you do merciful deeds, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand does,
4 Tako da bude milostinja tvoja tajna; i otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiæe tebi javno.
so that your merciful deeds may be in secret, then your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
5 I kad se moliš Bogu, ne budi kao licemjeri, koji rado po zbornicama i na raskršæu po ulicama stoje i mole se da ih vide ljudi. Zaisto vam kažem da su primili platu svoju.
“When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Most certainly, I tell you, they have received their reward.
6 A ti kad se moliš, uði u klijet svoju, i zatvorivši vrata svoja, pomoli se ocu svojemu koji je u tajnosti; i otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiæe tebi javno.
But you, when you pray, enter into your inner room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.
7 A kad se molite, ne govorite mnogo, kao neznabošci; jer oni misle da æe za mnoge rijeèi svoje biti uslišeni.
In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.
8 Vi dakle ne budite kao oni; jer zna otac vaš šta vam treba prije molitve vaše;
Therefore don’t be like them, for your Father knows what things you need before you ask him.
9 Ovako dakle molite se vi: Oèe naš koji si na nebesima, da se sveti ime tvoje;
Pray like this: “‘Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
10 Da doðe carstvo tvoje; da bude volja tvoja i na zemlji kao na nebu;
Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Hljeb naš potrebni daj nam danas;
Give us today our daily bread.
12 I oprosti nam dugove naše kao i mi što opraštamo dužnicima svojijem;
Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors.
13 I ne navedi nas u napast; no izbavi nas oda zla. Jer je tvoje carstvo, i sila, i slava vavijek. Amin.
Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’
14 Jer ako opraštate ljudima grijehe njihove, oprostiæe i vama otac vaš nebeski.
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
15 Ako li ne opraštate ljudima grijeha njihovijeh, ni otac vaš neæe oprostiti vama grijeha vašijeh.
But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16 A kad postite, ne budite žalosni kao licemjeri; jer oni naèine blijeda lica svoja da ih vide ljudi gdje poste. Zaisto vam kažem da su primili platu svoju.
“Moreover when you fast, don’t be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward.
17 A ti kad postiš, namaži glavu svoju, i lice svoje umij,
But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face,
18 Da te ne vide ljudi gdje postiš, nego otac tvoj koji je u tajnosti; i otac tvoj koji vidi tajno, platiæe tebi javno.
so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you.
19 Ne sabirajte sebi blaga na zemlji, gdje moljac i rða kvari, i gdje lupeži potkopavaju i kradu;
“Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal;
20 Nego sabirajte sebi blago na nebu, gdje ni moljac ni rða ne kvari, i gdje lupeži ne potkopavaju i ne kradu.
but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal;
21 Jer gdje je vaše blago, ondje æe biti i srce vaše.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22 Svijeæa je tijelu oko. Ako dakle bude oko tvoje zdravo, sve æe tijelo tvoje svijetlo biti.
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is sound, your whole body will be full of light.
23 Ako li oko tvoje kvarno bude, sve æe tijelo tvoje tamno biti. Ako je dakle vidjelo što je u tebi tama, akamoli tama?
But if your eye is evil, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!
24 Niko ne može dva gospodara služiti: jer ili æe na jednoga mrziti, a drugoga ljubiti; ili jednome voljeti, a za drugog ne mariti. Ne možete Bogu služiti i mamoni.
“No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and Mammon.
25 Zato vam kažem: ne brinite se za život svoj, šta æete jesti, ili šta æete piti; ni za tijelo svoje, u što æete se obuæi. Nije li život pretežniji od hrane, i tijelo od odijela?
Therefore I tell you, don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26 Pogledajte na ptice nebeske kako ne siju, niti žnju, ni sabiraju u žitnice; pa otac vaš nebeski hrani ih. Nijeste li vi mnogo pretežniji od njih?
See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?
27 A ko od vas brinuæi se može primaknuti rastu svojemu lakat jedan?
“Which of you by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?
28 I za odijelo što se brinete? Pogledajte na ljiljane u polju kako rastu; ne trude se niti predu.
Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,
29 Ali ja vam kažem da ni Solomun u svoj svojoj slavi ne obuèe se kao jedan od njih.
yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.
30 A kad travu po polju, koja danas jest a sjutra se u peæ baca, Bog tako odijeva; akamoli vas, malovjerni?
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?
31 Ne brinite se dakle govoreæi: šta æemo jesti, ili, šta æemo piti, ili, èim æemo se odjenuti?
“Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’
32 Jer sve ovo neznabošci ištu; a zna i otac vaš nebeski da vama treba sve ovo.
For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
33 Nego ištite najprije carstva Božijega, i pravde njegove, i ovo æe vam se sve dodati.
But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 Ne brinite se dakle za sjutra; jer sjutra brinuæe se za se. Dosta je svakom danu zla svoga.
Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient.
