Mark 4 (SRPONSTL)

1Isus je ponovo počeo da poučava pored jezera. Oko njega se okupilo toliko sveta, da je morao da uđe u jednu lađicu sedeći na jezeru, dok je sav onaj svet bio na obali, uz jezero.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.

2On ih je onda poučavao mnogim stvarima služeći se pričama. Ovako im je izlagao svoje učenje:And He taught them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said,

3„Slušajte! Izađe sejač da seje.“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed.

4Ali, kako je sejao, neka zrna su pala kraj puta. No, došle su ptice i pozobale ih.And as he was sowing, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it.

5Druga zrna su pala na kamenito tle, gde nisu imala mnogo zemlje. Brzo su iznikla, jer zemlja nije bila duboka.Some fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly because the soil was shallow.

6Ali kada je sunce sinulo, spržilo je biljke, i pošto nisu imale koren, posušile su se.But when the sun rose, the seedlings were scorched, and they withered because they had no root.

7Neka zrna su, opet, pala među trnje. Trnje naraste i poguši biljke, te one nisu donele rod.Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the seedlings, and they yielded no crop.

8Ipak, neka zrna su pala na dobru zemlju, pa su isklijala, uzrasla i donela rod: neka zrna tridesetostruko, neka šezdesetostruko, a neka 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.”

9Onda Isus reče: „Ko ima uši, neka sluša!“Then Jesus said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

10Kada je Isus ostao sam, Dvanaestorica i oni oko njega, su zatražili od njega da im protumači priče.As soon as Jesus was alone with the Twelve and those around Him, they asked Him about the parable.

11On im reče: „Vama je dano da saznate tajnu Carstva Božijeg, a ostalima se sve govori u pričama: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,

12’Da gledajući ne vide, da slušajući ne razumeju, da se ne obrate da bi im Bog oprostio.’“so that, ‘they may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven.’”

13Isus ih zatim upita: „Zar ne razumete ovu priču? Kako ćete razumeti sve ostale priče?“Then Jesus said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? Then how will you understand any of the parables?

14Sejač seje Božiju reč.The farmer sows the word.

15Neki ljudi su kao zrnevlje posejano kraj puta; tek što čuju reč, istog trena dolazi Satana i odnosi reč koja je posejana u njima.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.

16Drugi su opet kao zrnevlje posejano na kamenitom tlu. Oni, kada čuju reč, odmah je sa radošću prihvataju,Some are like the seeds sown on rocky ground. They hear the word and at once receive it with joy.

17ali pošto reč nije uhvatila korena u njima, bivaju nepostojani. Kad nastane nevolja ili progonstvo zbog reči, oni odmah otpadaju.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.

18Neki su kao zrnevlje posejano u trnje. To su oni koji slušaju reč,Others are like the seeds sown among the thorns. They hear the word,

19ali brige za ovozemaljske stvari, zavodljivost bogatstva i žudnje za drugim stvarima dolaze i uguše reč, te ostaje 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 zrnevlje koje je posejano na dobro tle, to su oni koji slušaju reč, prihvataju je i donose plod: jedni tridesetostruko, drugi šezdesetostruko, a neki 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.”

21Isus nastavi: „Ko bi od vas doneo svetiljku i stavio je pod mericu ili ispod kreveta? Zar se svetiljka ne stavlja na svećnjak?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?

22Što je skriveno, to će se otkriti, i obelodaniće se ono što je tajno.For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be brought to light.

23Ko ima uši, neka sluša!“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.”

24Isus im zatim reče: „Pazite kako slušate. Jer kakvom merom merite, takvom merom će vama biti mereno.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.

25Jer ko ima, njemu će se dodati, a onome koji nema, oduzeće se i to što ima.“For whoever has will be given more. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”

26Isus je takođe rekao: „Carstvo Božije je slično čoveku koji je posejao seme na svojoj njivi.Jesus also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.

27On leže noću i ustaje danju, a seme niče i raste ni sam ne zna kako.Night and day he sleeps and wakes, and the seed sprouts and grows, though he knows not how.

28Zemlja sama po sebi čini da donosi rod. Prvo se pojavi stabljika, zatim klas, onda klas pun žita.All by itself the earth produces a crop—first the stalk, then the head, then grain that ripens within.

29A kada usev sasvim dozri, čovek brže-bolje uzima srp u ruke, jer je žetva prispela.“And as soon as the grain is ripe, he swings the sickle, because the harvest has come.”

30Isus ponovo prozbori: „S čim ćemo uporediti Carstvo Božije? Kakvom pričom da ga objasnimo?Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it?

31Ono je slično gorušičinom zrnu, najmanjem od svih koja se seju u zemlju.It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth.

32Ali kada se poseje, izrasta i postaje veće od sveg ostalog rastinja, pa razvija toliko velike grane da se pod njegovom senkom gnezde 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.”

33Isus je narodu pripovedao mnogo ovakvih priča, onoliko koliko su mogli da razumeju.With many such parables Jesus spoke the word to them, to the extent that they could understand.

34Bez priča im ništa nije govorio. Ipak, svojim učenicima je sve objašnjavao kada su bili sami.He did not tell them anything without using a parable. But privately He explained everything to His own disciples.

35Istog dana uveče, Isus im reče: „Pređimo na drugu stranu jezera.“When that evening came, He said to His disciples, “Let us cross to the other side.”

36Raspustivši narod, učenici su ga poveli brodićem u kome je on već bio. Pratili su ga i drugi brodići.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.

37Međutim, podiže se velika bura, tako da su talasi plavili lađicu, te je bila skoro pod vodom.Soon a violent windstorm came up, and the waves were breaking over the boat, so that it was being swamped.

38A Isus je spavao na krmi, na uzglavlju. Oni ga probudiše govoreći: „Učitelju, zar ne mariš što propadamo?!“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?”

39Isus ustade i zapreti vetru: „Prestani!“ Onda reče talasima: „Umirite se!“ Vetar prestade i nasta velika tišina.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.

40Onda im Isus reče: „Zašto ste se uplašili? Zar nemate vere?““Why are you so afraid?” He asked. “Do you still have no faith?”

41Obuzeti silnim strahom, učenici su počeli da pitaju jedni druge: „Pa ko je, onda, ovaj da mu se i vetar i jezero pokoravaju?“Overwhelmed with fear, they asked one another, “Who is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
