¹In se odpravi odtod in pride v Judejsko pokrajino in za Jordan. In snidejo se zopet množice k njemu, in kakor je imel navado, jih je zopet učil.

¹He arose from there and came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan. Multitudes came together to him again. As he usually did, he was again teaching them.

²In pristopijo k njemu farizeji in ga vprašajo, izkušajoč ga: Ali je dovoljeno možu, ločiti se od žene?

²Pharisees came to him testing him, and asked him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

³On pa odgovori in jim reče: Kaj vam je zapovedal Mojzes?

³He answered, “What did Moses command you?”

⁴Oni pa reko: Mojzes je dopustil ločitni list napisati in jo pustiti.

⁴They said, “Moses allowed a certificate of divorce to be written, and to divorce her.”

⁵Jezus pa jim reče: Zavoljo trdosrčnosti vaše vam je napisal to zapoved.

⁵But Jesus said to them, “For your hardness of heart, he wrote you this commandment.

⁶Od začetka stvarjenja pa ju je kot moža in ženo ustvaril Bog.

⁶ But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. Genesis 1:27

⁷„Zato zapusti človek očeta svojega in mater svojo in se pridruži ženi svoji,

⁷ For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife,

⁸in ta dva bodeta eno meso.“ Tako nista več dva, temuč eno meso.

⁸ and the two will become one flesh, Genesis 2:24 so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

⁹Kar je torej Bog združil, naj človek ne razdružuje.

⁹ What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate.”

¹⁰In v hiši ga zopet učenci vprašajo o tej reči.

¹⁰In the house, his disciples asked him again about the same matter.

¹¹Pa jim reče: Kdor se loči od žene svoje in se oženi z drugo, prešeštvuje zoper njo;

¹¹He said to them, “Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery against her.

¹²in ako se žena loči od moža svojega in se omoži z drugim, prešeštvuje.

¹² If a woman herself divorces her husband, and marries another, she commits adultery.”

¹³In prinašali so k njemu otročiče, da bi se jih dotaknil; učenci pa jih okarajo.

¹³They were bringing to him little children, that he should touch them, but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.

¹⁴Videč pa to Jezus, se razhudi in jim reče: Pustite otročiče, naj pridejo k meni, ne branite jim; zakaj takih je kraljestvo Božje.

¹⁴But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

¹⁵Resnično vam pravim: Kdor ne sprejme kraljestva Božjega kakor otrok, nikakor ne pride vanj.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, whoever will not receive the Kingdom of God like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”

¹⁶In jemlje jih v naročje ter polagajoč nanje roke, jih blagoslavlja.

¹⁶He took them in his arms, and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

¹⁷In ko gre ven na cesto, pribeži eden k njemu, poklekne pred njim in ga vpraša: Dobri učenik, kaj naj storim, da podedujem večno življenje?

¹⁷As he was going out into the way, one ran to him, knelt before him, and asked him, “Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?”

¹⁸Jezus pa mu reče: Kaj me imenuješ dobrega? Nihče ni dober razen eden, Bog.

¹⁸Jesus said to him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good except one—God.

¹⁹Zapovedi znaš: „Ne ubijaj, ne prešeštvuj, ne kradi, ne pričaj po krivem, ne goljufaj, spoštuj očeta svojega in mater“.

¹⁹ You know the commandments: ‘Do not murder,’ ‘Do not commit adultery,’ ‘Do not steal,’ ‘Do not give false testimony,’ ‘Do not defraud,’ ‘Honor your father and mother.’” Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20

²⁰On pa odgovori in mu reče: Učenik, vse to sem izpolnjeval od mladosti svoje.

²⁰He said to him, “Teacher, I have observed all these things from my youth.”

²¹Jezus pa pogleda nanj, in ker ga je ljubil, mu reče: Enega ti je še treba. Pojdi, prodaj, karkoli imaš, in daj ubogim, in imel boš zaklad v nebesih; ter pridi in hodi za menoj.

²¹Jesus looking at him loved him, and said to him, “One thing you lack. Go, sell whatever you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me, taking up the cross.”

²²Njemu pa zagreni ta beseda in odide žalosten, zakaj imel je mnogo premoženja.

²²But his face fell at that saying, and he went away sorrowful, for he was one who had great possessions.

²³In Jezus pogleda okoli in reče učencem svojim: Kako težko pridejo tisti, ki imajo bogastvo, v kraljestvo Božje!

²³Jesus looked around, and said to his disciples, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!”

²⁴Učenci pa so se zavzeli ob besedah njegovih. Jezus pa zopet odgovori in jim reče: Otroci, kako težko je tistim, ki stavijo svoje upanje v bogastvo, priti v kraljestvo Božje!

²⁴The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus answered again, “Children, how hard is it for those who trust in riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!

²⁵Laže je velblodu iti igli skozi ušesce nego bogatemu priti v kraljestvo Božje!

²⁵ It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”

²⁶Oni pa se zelo zgroze in govore med seboj: Kdo se potem more zveličati?

²⁶They were exceedingly astonished, saying to him, “Then who can be saved?”

²⁷Jezus pa pogleda nanje in reče: Pri ljudeh je nemogoče, ali ne pri Bogu; kajti vse je mogoče pri Bogu.

²⁷Jesus, looking at them, said, “With men it is impossible, but not with God, for all things are possible with God.”

²⁸Peter mu začne praviti: Glej, mi smo zapustili vse in smo šli za teboj.

²⁸Peter began to tell him, “Behold, we have left all, and have followed you.”

²⁹Jezus reče: Resnično vam pravim, nikogar ni, ki je zapustil hišo, ali brate, ali sestre, ali očeta, ali mater, ali ženo, ali otroke, ali njive zavoljo mene in evangelija,

²⁹Jesus said, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or land, for my sake, and for the sake of the Good News,

³⁰da ne bi prejel sedaj v tem času stokrat toliko: hiš in bratov in sester in mater in otrok in njiv s preganjanjem, in v prihodnjem svetu večnega življenja.

³⁰ but he will receive one hundred times more now in this time, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children, and land, with persecutions; and in the age to come eternal life.

³¹Mnogi pa, ki so prvi, bodo zadnji, in ki so zadnji, prvi.

³¹ But many who are first will be last; and the last first.”

³²Bili pa so na poti, grede v Jeruzalem; in Jezus je šel pred učenci, in oni so se čudili. Tisti pa, ki so šli za njim, so se bali. In vzame zopet dvanajstere k sebi in jim začne praviti, kaj se mu ima zgoditi:

³²They were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going in front of them, and they were amazed; and those who followed were afraid. He again took the twelve, and began to tell them the things that were going to happen to him.

³³Glejte, gori v Jeruzalem gremo, in Sin človekov bo izdan višjim duhovnikom in pismarjem, in obsodijo ga na smrt in izroče poganom,

³³ “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem. The Son of Man will be delivered to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn him to death, and will deliver him to the Gentiles.

³⁴in zasramovali ga bodo in pljuvali nanj in ga bičali in umorili; a tretji dan vstane od smrti.

³⁴ They will mock him, spit on him, scourge him, and kill him. On the third day he will rise again.”

³⁵In pristopita k njemu Jakob in Janez, sina Zebedejeva, ter mu rečeta: Učenik, hočeva, da nama storiš, kar bova prosila.

³⁵James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came near to him, saying, “Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we will ask.”

³⁶On pa ju vpraša: Kaj hočeta, da naj vama storim?

³⁶He said to them, “What do you want me to do for you?”

³⁷Ona pa mu rečeta: Daj nama, da bova sedela eden tebi na desnici in eden na levici v slavi tvoji.

³⁷They said to him, “Grant to us that we may sit, one at your right hand, and one at your left hand, in your glory.”

³⁸Jezus pa jima reče: Ne vesta, kaj prosita. Moreta li piti kelih, ki ga pijem jaz, in se krstiti s krstom, ki se jaz krstim ž njim?

³⁸But Jesus said to them, “You don’t know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?”

³⁹Ona pa rečeta: Moreva. A Jezus jima veli: Kelih, ki ga jaz pijem, bosta pila, in s krstom, ki se jaz krstim ž njim, se bosta krstila.

³⁹They said to him, “We are able.” Jesus said to them, “You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and you shall be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with;

⁴⁰Da bi pa sedela meni na desnici in na levici, ne morem dati jaz, a dá se to tistim, katerim je pripravljeno.

⁴⁰ but to sit at my right hand and at my left hand is not mine to give, but for whom it has been prepared.”

⁴¹In ko slišijo to deseteri, se začno jeziti nad Jakobom in Janezom.

⁴¹When the ten heard it, they began to be indignant towards James and John.

⁴²Jezus jih pa pokliče in jim reče: Veste, da tisti, ki veljajo za vladarje narodov, nad njimi gospodujejo, in njih velikaši jih siloma vladajo.

⁴²Jesus summoned them, and said to them, “You know that they who are recognized as rulers over the nations lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.

⁴³Ni pa tako med vami: ampak kdorkoli hoče postati velik med vami, naj vam bode služabnik,

⁴³ But it shall not be so among you, but whoever wants to become great among you shall be your servant.

⁴⁴in kdorkoli hoče med vami biti prvi, bodi vsem hlapec.

⁴⁴ Whoever of you wants to become first among you, shall be bondservant of all.

⁴⁵Kajti tudi Sin človekov ni prišel, da njemu služijo, ampak da služi in dá življenje svoje v odkupnino za mnoge.

⁴⁵ For the Son of Man also came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

⁴⁶In pridejo v Jeriho. In ko so šli iz Jeriha, on in učenci njegovi in obilna množica, je sedel kraj poti slep berač, Bartimej, sin Timejev.

⁴⁶They came to Jericho. As he went out from Jericho, with his disciples and a great multitude, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the road.

⁴⁷In ko sliši, da je Jezus Nazarečan, začne vpiti in govoriti: Sin Davidov, Jezus, usmili se me!

⁴⁷When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out, and say, “Jesus, you son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁸In mnogi mu prete, naj umolkne; a on le še bolj kriči: Sin Davidov, usmili se me!

⁴⁸Many rebuked him, that he should be quiet, but he cried out much more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”

⁴⁹In Jezus se ustavi in veli: Pokličite ga! In pokličejo slepca in mu reko: Srčen bodi, vstani, kliče te.

⁴⁹Jesus stood still, and said, “Call him.” They called the blind man, saying to him, “Cheer up! Get up. He is calling you!”

⁵⁰On pa vrže s sebe plašč svoj, poskoči in pride k Jezusu.

⁵⁰He, casting away his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus.

⁵¹In Jezus mu odgovori in reče: Kaj hočeš, da naj ti storim? Slepec pa mu reče: Rabuni [T. j. moj učenik.], da izpregledam!In Jezus mu veli: Pojdi, vera tvoja te je rešila. In precej je izpregledal, in za Jezusom je šel po poti.

⁵¹Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him, “Rabboni, Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.” that I may see again.”

⁵²In Jezus mu veli: Pojdi, vera tvoja te je rešila. In precej je izpregledal, in za Jezusom je šel po poti.

⁵²Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Immediately he received his sight, and followed Jesus in the way.
