Marko 2
1 In zopet vnide v Kapernaum črez nekoliko dnî; in zasliši se, da je v hiši.
[Jesus and his disciples] returned to Capernaum [town]. A few days later, because it was {people} heard that Jesus was in [his] house,
2 In precej se jih zbere mnogo, toliko, da niso imeli prostora tudi pred vratmi ne; in govoril jim je besedo.
many people gathered there. As a result, [after the people filled the house], there was no longer space to stand [in the house or outside] around the doorway. Jesus preached [God’s] message to them.
3 Pa pridejo k njemu in prinesó mrtvoudnega, kterega so štirje nosili.
Some people came to the house bringing to Jesus a man who was paralyzed. He was carried by four men {Four men carried [him]} [on a sleeping pad].
4 In ko mu se niso mogli približati za voljo ljudstva, odkrijejo streho, kjer je bil, in ko so jo predrli, spusté oder, na kterem je mrtvoudni ležal.
They were not able to bring the man to Jesus because there was a crowd there. So they [went up the steps to the flat roof and] removed [some of] the tiles [above] where Jesus was. Then, after they made a [big] hole in the roof, they lowered [by ropes] the sleeping pad on which the paralyzed man lay. They lowered [it through the hole, down in front of Jesus].
5 Videvši pa Jezus njih vero, reče mrtvoudnemu: Sin, odpuščajo ti se grehi tvoji.
After Jesus perceived that the men believed [that he could heal this man], he said to the paralyzed man, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
6 Bili so pa tam nekteri od pismarjev, kteri so sedeli in premišljevali v srcih svojih:
There were some men who taught [the Jewish] laws sitting there. They started thinking like this:
7 Kaj ta tako Boga preklinja? Kdo more odpuščati grehe, razen eden, Bog?
“(Who does this man think he is, talking like that/This man shouldn’t talk like that!) [RHQ]? (He is insulting God!/Does he think he is God?) [RHQ] (No person can forgive sins!/Who can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can forgive sins!”
8 In spoznavši Jezus precej z duhom svojim, da tako premišljujejo sami s seboj, reče jim: Kaj to premišljujete v srcih svojih?
Jesus sensed that they were deliberating like that within themselves. So he said to them, “(You should not question within yourselves [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]!/Why do you question [whether I have the right to forgive this man’s sins]?) [RHQ]
9 Kaj je laže, reči mrtvoudnemu: Odpuščajo ti se grehi? ali reči: Vstani in vzemi oder svoj, in hodi?
It is [not risky] [RHQ] for someone to tell the man who is paralyzed, ‘Your sins are forgiven {[I] forgive your sins},’ [because no one can prove that it has happened]. But no one would say to him, ‘Get up, pick up your stretcher, and then walk away’, [unless he really had the power to heal him, because people can easily see whether it happens or not].
10 Da boste pa vedeli, da ima oblast sin človečji odpuščati na zemlji grehe, (velí mrtvoudnemu: )
So I [will do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized me, the one who came from heaven, to forgive sins on earth [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man,
11 Tebi pravim: Vstani in vzemi oder svoj, in pojdi na dom svoj.
“To you I say, ‘Get up! Pick up your sleeping pad! And then go home!’”
12 In precej vstane in vzeme oder, in izide pred vsemi, da so se vsi čudili in Boga hvalili, govoreč: Nikoli nismo kaj takega videli.
The man stood up immediately! He picked up the sleeping pad, and then he went away, while all the people [there] were watching. They were all amazed, and they praised God and said, “We have never before seen anything like [what happened] just now!”
13 In zopet izide k morju. In vse ljudstvo je prihajalo k njemu, in učil jih je.
Jesus left [Capernaum town again and walked with his disciples] alongside [Galilee] lake. A large crowd came to him. Then he taught them.
14 In mimo gredé ugleda Levija sina Alfejevega, da sedí na mitnici, in reče mu: Pojdi za menoj. Pa vstane in odide za njim.
As he walked on further, he saw a man named Levi, whose other name was Matthew, and whose father’s name was Alpheus. He was sitting in his office where he collected taxes [for the Roman government]. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So he got up and went with Jesus.
15 In zgodí se, ko je sedel za mizo v hiši njegovej, da je tudi mnogo mitarjev in grešnikov sedelo z Jezusom in učenci njegovimi; kajti bilo jih je veliko, kteri so šli za njim.
[Later], Jesus was eating a meal in Levi’s house. Many men who collected taxes and [other] people who were [considered to be] sinning regularly were eating with Jesus and his disciples. [This was not surprising], for there were many people like this who were going [everywhere] with Jesus.
16 Pismarji pa in Farizeji, videvši ga, da jé z mitarji in grešniki, govorili so učencem njegovim; Kaj je to, da z mitarji in grešniki jé in pije?
The [men who taught the Jewish] laws [who were there] and who were members of the Pharisee [sect] saw that Jesus was eating with men who collected taxes and [others who were considered] {[whom they considered]} [to be] sinners. So they said to his disciples, “(It is disgusting that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners!/Why is it that he eats with [such disgusting] men as those who collect taxes, and with [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
17 In slišavši to Jezus, reče jim: Ne potrebujejo zdravi zdravnika, nego bolni. Nisem prišel klicat pravičnih, nego grešnike na pokoro.
After Jesus heard [what they were saying], he said to the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, “People who [consider that they] are well do not seek a doctor. On the contrary, it is those who are sick [who seek a doctor] [MET]!” [This he said to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him in order that he might help them spiritually]. And he said, “I did not come to invite people [who think that] [IRO] they are righteous [to come to me and turn from their sinful behavior]. On the contrary, I came [from heaven to invite] people who [know that they] are sinners, [in order that they might turn from their sins and come to me].”
18 A učenci Janezovi in Farizejski so se postili; ter pridejo in mu rekó: Za kaj se učenci Janezovi in Farizejski postijo, tvoji se pa učenci ne postijo?
The disciples of John [the Baptizer] and some men who belonged to the Pharisee [sect] used to abstain from food [to show that they wanted to please God]. One day, some people came [to Jesus] and asked him [critically], “The disciples of John and the Pharisees (fast/abstain from food) [from time to time], but your disciples do not. [We think they should abstain from food also. What do you say about that] [RHQ]?”
19 Pa jim Jezus reče: Morejo li se svatje, kedar je ženin ž njimi, postiti? Dokler imajo s seboj ženina, ne morejo se postiti.
[Jesus wanted them to understand that it was not appropriate for his disciples to show sorrow by abstaining from food while he was still with them]. So he said to them, “When a man is marrying a woman, his friends will certainly not abstain from food while he is still with them, will they [RHQ]? No. During the time that he is with them, they will not abstain from food [because they are happy together].
20 Prišli bodo pa dnevi, ko jim se bo ženin odvzel, in tedaj se bodo postili tiste dní.
But some day, he will be taken away {his [enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, in those days, they will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
21 In nikdor zaplate iz novega sukna ne prišiva na staro obleko, sicer odtrga nova njena zaplata od starega še nekaj, in luknja bo veča.
[Jesus wanted to show that those who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like fasting. So he also said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [in order to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment, the patch would shrink] and the new [piece of cloth] would tear off more of the old cloth. As a result, the hole would become bigger!
22 In nikdor ne deva novega vina v stare mehove; sicer predere vino novo mehove, in vino se izlije, in mehovi se pokazé; nego novo vino je treba v nove mehove vlijati.
[Similarly], people do not put newly [squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If they did that, that juice will burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the wine ferments and expands]. As a result both the wine and the skin bags would be ruined! On the contrary, people must put new wine into new skin bags!” [MET]
23 In zgodí se, da je šel v soboto skozi setve, in jeli so učenci njegovi po poti gredé trgati klasje.
On one (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) Jesus was walking through some grain fields with his disciples. As they were walking along [through the grain fields], the disciples were plucking some of the heads of grain. [They rubbed them in their hands to remove the chaff, and were eating the grain. The laws of Moses permitted people to do that if they were hungry].
24 Pa mu rekó Farizeji: Glej, kaj delajo v soboto, kar se ne smé?
[Some of] the Pharisees [saw them doing what they considered to be work. So they] said to him, “Look! (They should not be doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid!/Why are they doing on our (Sabbath day/day of rest) [work] that our laws forbid?) [RHQ]”
25 In on jim reče: Niste li nikoli brali, kaj je storil David, ko je bil v sili in se je ulakotil, on in kteri so bili ž njim?
[Jesus wanted to show them that the record in the Scriptures indicated that God permitted people to disobey certain religious laws when they needed food]. So he said to them, “[It is written in the Scriptures] what [our revered ancestor, King] David, did when he needed food, and both he and the men with him were hungry. You have read about that, but ([you do not think about what it implies./why do you not think about what it implies]?) [RHQ]
26 Kako je šel v hišo Božjo, ko je bil Abijatar véliki duhoven, ter je snedel postavljene kruhe, kterih ni smel nikdor jesti, razen duhovni, in dal je tudi tistim, kteri so bili ž njim?
During the time Abiathar was high priest, David entered the big tent [where people worshipped] God [and asked for some bread. The high priest gave him some] of the loaves of bread. That bread was the bread he had presented to God. It was permitted in one of Moses’ laws that only the priests could eat that bread! But David ate some of it. Then he also gave some of it to the men who were with him. [But God did not consider that was wrong!]”
27 In reče jim: Sobota je ustvarjena za voljo človeka, a ne človek za voljo sobote.
Jesus said to them further, “[God] established (the day of rest/the Sabbath day) [to help] people! He did not create people to [obey rules about] (the Sabbath/the day of rest)!
28 Za to je sin človečji gospodar tudi sobote.
And [think about this]: I am the one who came from heaven. So I have the authority [to determine what is right for my disciples to do] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day)!”
