¹It happened when Jesus had finished these words, he departed from Galilee, and came into the borders of Judea beyond the Jordan.

¹Kad Isus završi ove besjede, ode iz Galileje i dođe u judejski kraj s onu stranu Jordana.

²Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them there.

²Za njim je išao silan svijet. Ondje ih izliječi.

³Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?”

³Pristupe mu tada farizeji pa, da ga iskušaju, kažu: "Je li dopušteno otpustiti ženu s kojega god razloga?"

⁴He answered, “Haven’t you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, Genesis 1:27

⁴On odgovori: "Zar niste čitali: Stvoritelj od početka muško i žensko stvori ih

⁵ and said, ‘For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall join to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?’ Genesis 2:24

⁵i reče: Stoga će čovjek ostaviti oca i majku da prione uza svoju ženu; i dvoje njih bit će jedno tijelo?

⁶ So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don’t let man tear apart.”

⁶Tako više nisu dvoje, nego jedno tijelo. Što, dakle, Bog združi, čovjek neka ne rastavlja."

⁷They asked him, “Why then did Moses command us to give her a bill of divorce, and divorce her?”

⁷Kažu mu: "Zašto onda Mojsije zapovjedi dati otpusno pismo i - otpustiti?"

⁸He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.

⁸Odgovori im: "Zbog tvrdoće srca vašega dopusti vam Mojsije otpustiti žene, ali od početka ne bijaše tako.

⁹ I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and he who marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.”

⁹A ja vam kažem: Tko otpusti svoju ženu - osim zbog bludništva - pa se oženi drugom, čini preljub."

¹⁰His disciples said to him, “If this is the case of the man with his wife, it is not expedient to marry.”

¹⁰Kažu mu učenici: "Ako je tako između muža i žene, bolje je ne ženiti se."

¹¹But he said to them, “Not all men can receive this saying, but those to whom it is given.

¹¹A on im reče: "Ne shvaćaju toga svi, nego samo oni kojima je dano.

¹² For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the Kingdom of Heaven’s sake. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.”

¹²Doista, ima za ženidbu nesposobnih koji se takvi iz utrobe materine rodiše. Ima nesposobnih koje ljudi onesposobiše. A ima nesposobnih koji sami sebe onesposobiše poradi kraljevstva nebeskoga. Tko može shvatiti, neka shvati."

¹³Then little children were brought to him, that he should lay his hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

¹³Tada mu doniješe dječicu da na njih stavi ruke i pomoli se. A učenici im branili.

¹⁴But Jesus said, “Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.”

¹⁴Nato će im Isus: "Pustite dječicu i ne priječite im k meni jer takvih je kraljevstvo nebesko!"

¹⁵He laid his hands on them, and departed from there.

¹⁵I položi ruke na njih pa krene odande.

¹⁶Behold, one came to him and said, “Good teacher, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?”

¹⁶I gle, pristupi mu netko i reče: "Učitelju, koje mi je dobro činiti da imam život vječni?"

¹⁷He said to him, “Why do you call me good? So MT and TR. NU reads “Why do you ask me about what is good?” No one is good but one, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

¹⁷A on mu reče: "Što me pitaš o dobrome? Jedan je samo dobar! Ali ako hoćeš u život ući, čuvaj zapovijedi."

¹⁸He said to him, “Which ones?” Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder.’ ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ ‘You shall not steal.’ ‘You shall not offer false testimony.’

¹⁸Upita ga: "Koje?" A Isus reče: Ne ubij! Ne čini preljuba! Ne ukradi! Ne svjedoči lažno!

¹⁹ ‘Honor your father and mother.’ Exodus 20:12-16; Deuteronomy 5:16-20 And, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’” Leviticus 19:18

¹⁹Poštuj oca i majku! I ljubi svoga bližnjega kao sebe samoga!"

²⁰The young man said to him, “All these things I have observed from my youth. What do I still lack?”

²⁰Kaže mu mladić: "Sve sam to čuvao. Što mi još nedostaje?"

²¹Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have, and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”

²¹Reče mu Isus: "Hoćeš li biti savršen, idi, prodaj što imaš i podaj siromasima pa ćeš imati blago na nebu. A onda dođi i idi za mnom."

²²But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sad, for he was one who had great possessions.

²²Na tu riječ ode mladić žalostan jer imaše velik imetak.

²³Jesus said to his disciples, “Most certainly I say to you, a rich man will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with difficulty.

²³A Isus reče svojim učenicima: "Zaista, kažem vas, teško će bogataš u kraljevstvo nebesko.

²⁴ Again I tell you, 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.”

²⁴Ponovno vam velim: Lakše je devi kroz uši iglene nego bogatašu u kraljevstvo Božje."

²⁵When the disciples heard it, they were exceedingly astonished, saying, “Who then can be saved?”

²⁵Čuvši to, učenici se silno snebivahu govoreći: "Tko se onda može spasiti?"

²⁶Looking at them, Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

²⁶A Isus upre u njih pogled pa im reče: "Ljudima je to nemoguće, ali Bogu je sve moguće."

²⁷Then Peter answered, “Behold, we have left everything, and followed you. What then will we have?”

²⁷Tada Petar prihvati pa upita: "Evo, mi sve ostavismo i pođosmo za tobom. Što ćemo za to dobiti?"

²⁸Jesus said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

²⁸Reče im Isus: "Zaista, kažem vam, vi koji pođoste za mnom, o preporodu, kad Sin Čovječji sjedne na prijestolje svoje slave, i vi ćete sjediti na dvanaest prijestolja i suditi dvanaest plemena Izraelovih.

²⁹ Everyone who has left houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive one hundred times, and will inherit eternal life.

²⁹I tko god ostavi kuće, ili braću, ili sestre, ili oca, ili majku, ili ženu, ili djecu, ili polja poradi imena mojega, stostruko će primiti i život vječni baštiniti."

³⁰ But many will be last who are first; and first who are last.

³⁰"A mnogi prvi bit će posljednji, i posljednji prvi."
