Luke 14 (SRPONSTL)

1Jedne subote je Isus došao u kuću jednog od vodećih fariseja na obed. Okupljeni su pažljivo motrili na njega.One Sabbath, Jesus went to eat in the home of a leading Pharisee, and those in attendance were watching Him closely.

2Uto neki čovek koji je patio od vodene bolesti stade pred Isusa.Right there before Him was a man with dropsy.

3Isus upita znalce Svetog pisma i fariseje: „Da li je dopušteno lečiti subotom ili ne?“So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

4Oni su ćutali. Isus prihvati čoveka, isceli ga i pusti ga da ide.But they remained silent. Then Jesus took hold of the man, healed him, and sent him on his way.

5A njima reče: „Ako nekome od vas sin ili vo upadne u bunar, zar ga neće odmah izvaditi i u subotu?“And He asked them, “Which of you whose son or ox falls into a pit on the Sabbath day will not immediately pull him out?”

6Na to nisu mogli da mu odgovore.And they were unable to answer these questions.

7Isus je primetio da su neki gosti birali počasna mesta, pa im je ispričao priču:When Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, He told them a parable:

8„Kad te neko pozove na svadbu, nemoj da sedneš u pročelje, jer domaćin može da pozove nekog ko je ugledniji od tebe.“When you are invited to a wedding banquet, do not sit in the place of honor, in case someone more distinguished than you has been invited.

9Tada će on, koji je pozvao i tebe i njega, doći i reći: ’Ustupi mu mesto.’ Onda ćeš postiđen zauzeti poslednje mesto.Then the host who invited both of you will come and tell you, ‘Give this man your seat.’ And in humiliation, you will have to take the last place.

10Nego, ako te pozovu, idi i zauzmi poslednje mesto. Tada će onaj koji te je pozvao, doći i reći: ’Prijatelju, pomakni se na više.’ Tako ćeš biti počašćen pred svima koji s tobom sede za stolom.But when you are invited, go and sit in the last place, so that your host will come and tell you, ‘Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of everyone at the table with you.

11Jer, svako ko se uznosi, biće ponižen, a ko se ponizi, biće uzvišen.“For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

12A domaćinu reče: „Kad priređuješ ručak ili večeru, ne pozivaj prijatelje, ni braću, ni rodbinu, ni bogate susede, jer bi oni mogli da pozovu tebe i tako ti uzvrate.Then Jesus said to the man who had invited Him, “When you host a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or brothers or relatives or rich neighbors. Otherwise, they may invite you in return, and you will be repaid.

13Nego, kad priređuješ gozbu, pozovi siromahe, bogalje, hrome, slepe.But when you host a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the blind,

14Tada ćeš biti blažen, jer ne mogu da ti uzvrate, a Bog će ti uzvratiti prilikom vaskrsenja pravednih.“and you will be blessed. Since they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous.”

15A jedan od gostiju, kada je to čuo, reče mu: „Blaženi su oni koji će biti za trpezom u Carstvu Božijem!“When one of those reclining with Him heard this, he said to Jesus, “Blessed is everyone who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of God.”

16Isus mu reče: „Neki čovek je priredio veliku gozbu i pozvao mnogo ljudi.But Jesus replied, “A certain man prepared a great banquet and invited many guests.

17Kad je bilo vreme da gozba počne, poslao je svoga slugu da kaže zvanicama: ’Dođite, sve je već pripravljeno.’When it was time for the banquet, he sent his servant to tell those who had been invited, ‘Come, for everything is now ready.’

18Ali, svi od reda počnu da se izgovaraju. Prvi mu reče: ’Kupio sam njivu, pa moram da idem da je vidim. Molim te, primi moje izvinjenje.’But one after another they all began to make excuses. The first one said, ‘I have bought a field, and I need to go see it. Please excuse me.’

19Drugi reče: ’Kupio sam pet jarmova volova, pa idem da vidim valjaju li. Molim te, primi moje izvinjenje.’Another said, ‘I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out. Please excuse me.’

20Treći reče: ’Oženio sam se, te zato ne mogu da dođem.’Still another said, ‘I have married a wife, so I cannot come.’

21Sluga se vrati i javi to svome gospodaru. Gospodar se na to razgnevi i reče svome sluzi: ’Brzo idi na gradske ulice i prolaze i dovedi ovamo siromahe, bogalje, slepe i hrome.’The servant returned and reported all this to his master. Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his servant, ‘Go out quickly into the streets and alleys of the city, and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’

22Sluga se uskoro vrati i reče: ’Gospodaru, tvoja naredba je izvršena, ali još uvek ima mesta.’‘Sir,’ the servant replied, ‘what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’

23Tada gospodar reče sluzi: ’Izađi na puteve i međe, pa nateraj ljude da dođu, da mi se napuni kuća.So the master told his servant, ‘Go out to the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, so that my house will be full.

24Kažem vam da nijedan od onih ljudi koji su bili pozvani neće okusiti moje večere.’“For I tell you, not one of those men who were invited will taste my banquet.’”

25Jednom, dok je veliko mnoštvo naroda putovalo s Isusom, on se okrenu prema njima i reče im:Now large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and He turned and said to them,

26„Ko dolazi k meni, a nije mu omrzao njegov otac i majka, žena i deca, braća i sestre, pa i sopstveni život, ne može da bude moj učenik.“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters—yes, even his own life—he cannot be My disciple.

27Ko ne nosi svoj krst i ne sledi me, ne može da bude moj učenik.And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.

28Ako neko od vas hoće da zida kulu, on prvo sedne i proračuna koliki će biti trošak, da vidi ima li dovoljno da završi.Which of you, wishing to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost to see if he has the resources to complete it?

29U protivnom, postaviće temelj, a neće moći da dovrši gradnju. Svi koji to vide, rugaće mu seOtherwise, if he lays the foundation and is unable to finish the work, everyone who sees it will ridicule him,

30i govoriti: ’Ovaj čovek je počeo da zida, a nije mogao da završi!’saying, ‘This man could not finish what he started to build.’

31Ili koji car ide u rat protiv drugog cara, a da prvo ne sedne i razmotri može li da se sa deset hiljada vojnika odupre onome koji ide na njega sa dvadeset hiljada?Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

32Ako ne može, poslaće izaslanike moćnijem caru dok je ovaj još daleko, da razgovaraju o miru.And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.

33Prema tome, svaki od vas ko se ne odrekne svega što ima, ne može da bude moj učenik.In the same way, any one of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be My disciple.

34So je dobra, ali ako izgubi slanoću, čime li će je povratiti?Salt is good, but if the salt loses its savor, with what will it be seasoned?

35Nije ni za zemlju, ni za đubrivo, nego je izbacuju napolje. Ko ima uši, neka sluša!“It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile, and it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
