Mark 4 (SAR) · Opened

1I poče opet poučavati uz more. I zgrnu se k njemu silan svijet te on uđe u lađu i sjede na moru, a sve ono mnoštvo bijaše uz more, na kopnu.Once again Jesus began to teach beside the sea, and such a large crowd gathered around Him that He got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people crowded along the shore.

2Poučavao ih je u prispodobama mnogočemu. Govorio im u pouci:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3“Poslušajte! Gle, iziđe sijač sijati.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4I dok je sijao, poneko zrno pade uz put, dođoše ptice i pozobaše ga.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Neko opet pade na kamenito tlo gdje nemaše dosta zemlje. Odmah izniknu jer nemaše duboke zemlje.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ali kad ogranu sunce, izgorje; i jer nemaše korijenja, osuši se.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Neko opet pade u trnje i trnje uzraste i uguši ga te ploda ne donese.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Neko napokon pade u dobru zemlju i dade plod, razraste se i razmnoži, te donese: jedno tridesetostruko, jedno šezdesetostruko, jedno stostruko.”Still other seed fell on good soil, where it sprouted, grew up, and produced a crop—one bearing thirtyfold, another sixtyfold, and another a hundredfold.”

9I doda: “Tko ima uši da čuje, neka čuje!”Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Kad bijaše nasamo, oni oko njega zajedno s dvanaestoricom pitahu ga o prispodobama.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11I govoraše im: “Vama je dano otajstvo kraljevstva Božjega, a onima vani sve biva u prispodobama:He replied, “The mystery of the kingdom of God has been given to you, but to those on the outside everything is expressed in parables,

12da gledaju, gledaju - i ne vide, slušaju, slušaju - i ne razumiju, da se ne obrate pa da im se otpusti.”so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13I kaže im: “Zar ne znate tu prispodobu? Kako ćete onda razumjeti prispodobe uopće?Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Sijač sije Riječ.The farmer sows the word.

15Oni uz put, gdje je Riječ posijana, jesu oni kojima, netom čuju, odmah dolazi Sotona i odnosi Riječ u njih posijanu.Some are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

16Zasijani na tlo kamenito jesu oni koji kad čuju Riječ, odmah je s radošću prime,Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17ali nemaju u sebi korijena, nego su nestalni: kad nastane nevolja ili progonstvo zbog Riječi, odmah se sablazne.But they themselves have no root, and they remain for only a season. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away.

18A drugi su oni u trnje zasijani. To su oni koji poslušaju Riječ,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ali nadošle brige vremenite, zavodljivost bogatstva i ostale požude uguše Riječ te ona ostane bez ploda.but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth, and the desire for other things come in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

20A zasijani na dobru zemlju jesu oni koji čuju i prime Riječ te urode: tridesetostruko, šezdesetostruko, stostruko.Still others are like the seeds sown on good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and produce a crop—thirtyfold, sixtyfold, or a hundredfold.”

21I govoraše im: “Unosi li se svjetiljka da se pod posudu stavi ili pod postelju? Zar ne da se stavi na svijećnjak?Jesus also said to them, “Does anyone bring in a lamp to put it under a basket or under a bed? Doesn’t he set it on a stand?

22Ta ništa nije zastrto, osim zato da se očituje; i ništa skriveno, osim zato da dođe na vidjelo!For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Ima li tko uši da čuje, neka čuje.”If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24I govoraše im: “Pazite što slušate. Mjerom kojom mjerite mjerit će vam se. I nadodat će vam se.He went on to say, “Pay attention to what you hear. With the measure you use, it will be measured to you, and even more will be added to you.

25Doista, onomu tko ima dat će se, a onomu tko nema oduzet će se i ono što ima.”For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26I govoraše im: “Kraljevstvo je Božje kao kad čovjek baci sjeme u zemlju.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27Spavao on ili bdio, noću i danju sjeme klija i raste - sam ne zna kako;Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28zemlja sama od sebe donosi plod: najprije stabljiku, onda klas i napokon puno zrnja na klasu.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29A čim plod dopusti, brže se on laća srpa jer eto žetve.”And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30I govoraše: “Kako da prispodobimo kraljevstvo nebesko ili u kojoj da ga prispodobi iznesemo?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Kao kad se gorušičino zrno posije u zemlju. Manje od svega sjemenja na zemlji,It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32jednoć posijano, naraste i postane veće od svega povrća pa potjera velike grane te se pod sjenom njegovom gnijezde ptice nebeske.”But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”

33Mnogim takvim prispodobama navješćivaše im Riječ, kako već mogahu slušati.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Bez prispodobe im ne govoraše, a nasamo bi svojim učenicima sve razjašnjavao.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Uvečer istoga dana kaže im: “Prijeđimo prijeko!”When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Oni otpuste mnoštvo i povezu Isusa kako već bijaše u lađi. A pratile su ga i druge lađe.After they had dismissed the crowd, they took Jesus with them, since He was already in the boat. And there were other boats with Him.

37Najednom nasta žestoka oluja, na lađu navale valovi te su je već gotovo napunili.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38A on na krmi spavaše na uzglavku. Probude ga i kažu mu: “Učitelju! Zar ne mariš što ginemo?”But Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on the cushion. So they woke Him and said, “Teacher, don’t You care that we are perishing?”

39On se probudi, zaprijeti vjetru i reče moru: “Utihni! Umukni!” I smiri se vjetar i nasta velika utiha.Then Jesus got up and rebuked the wind and the sea. “Silence!” He commanded. “Be still!” And the wind died down, and it was perfectly calm.

40Tada im reče: “Što ste bojažljivi? Kako nemate vjere?”“Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Oni se silno prestrašiše pa se zapitkivahu: “Tko li je ovaj da mu se i vjetar i more pokoravaju?”Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
