PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 A kad On vide narod, pope se na goru, i sede, i pristupiše Mu učenici Njegovi.
1 Seeing the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. When he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
1 Ἰδὼν δὲ τοὺς ὄχλους ἀνέβη εἰς τὸ ὄρος, καὶ καθίσαντος αὐτοῦ προσῆλθον αὐτῷ οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ,
2 I otvorivši usta svoja učaše ih govoreći:
2 He opened his mouth and taught them, saying,
2 καὶ ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκεν αὐτοὺς λέγων·
3 Blago siromašnima duhom, jer je njihovo carstvo nebesko.
3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
3 μακάριοι οἱ πτωχοὶ τῷ πνεύματι, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
4 Blago onima koji plaču, jer će se utešiti.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
4 μακάριοι οἱ πενθοῦντες, ὅτι αὐτοὶ παρακληθήσονται.
5 Blago krotkima, jer će naslediti zemlju.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit the earth.
5 μακάριοι οἱ πραεῖς, ὅτι αὐτοὶ κληρονομήσουσι τὴν γῆν.
6 Blago gladnima i žednima pravde, jer će se nasititi.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.
6 μακάριοι οἱ πεινῶντες καὶ διψῶντες τὴν δικαιοσύνην, ὅτι αὐτοὶ χορτασθήσονται.
7 Blago milostivima, jer će biti pomilovani.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
7 μακάριοι οἱ ἐλεήμονες, ὅτι αὐτοὶ ἐλεηθήσονται.
8 Blago onima koji su čistog srca, jer će Boga videti.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
8 μακάριοι οἱ καθαροὶ τῇ καρδίᾳ, ὅτι αὐτοὶ τὸν Θεὸν ὄψονται.
9 Blago onima koji mir grade, jer će se sinovi Božji nazvati.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.
9 μακάριοι οἱ εἰρηνοποιοί, ὅτι αὐτοὶ υἱοὶ Θεοῦ κληθήσονται.
10 Blago prognanima pravde radi, jer je njihovo carstvo nebesko.
10 Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven.
10 μακάριοι οἱ δεδιωγμένοι ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης, ὅτι αὐτῶν ἐστιν ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.
11 Blago vama ako vas uzasramote i usprogone i kažu na vas svakojake rđave reči lažući, mene radi.
11 “Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
11 μακάριοί ἐστε ὅταν ὀνειδίσωσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ διώξωσι καὶ εἴπωσι πᾶν πονηρὸν ῥῆμα καθ᾽ ὑμῶν ψευδόμενοι ἕνεκεν ἐμοῦ.
12 Radujte se i veselite se, jer je velika plata vaša na nebesima, jer su tako progonili proroke pre vas.
12 Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
12 χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε, ὅτι ὁ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς· οὕτω γὰρ ἐδίωξαν τοὺς προφήτας τοὺς πρὸ ὑμῶν.
13 Vi ste so zemlji; ako so obljutavi, čim će se osoliti? Ona već neće biti nizašta, osim da se prospe napolje i da je ljudi pogaze.
13 “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.
13 Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ ἅλας τῆς γῆς· ἐὰν δὲ τὸ ἅλας μωρανθῇ, ἐν τίνι ἁλισθήσεται; εἰς οὐδὲν ἰσχύει ἔτι εἰ μὴ βληθῆναι ἔξω καὶ καταπατεῖσθαι ὑπὸ τῶν ἀνθρώπων.
14 Vi ste videlo svetu; ne može se grad sakriti kad na gori stoji.
14 “You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.
14 Ὑμεῖς ἐστε τὸ φῶς τοῦ κόσμου. οὐ δύναται πόλις κρυβῆναι ἐπάνω ὄρους κειμένη·
15 Niti se užiže sveća i meće pod sud nego na svećnjak, te svetli svima koji su u kući.
15 Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house.
15 οὐδὲ καίουσι λύχνον καὶ τιθέασιν αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τὸν μόδιον, ἀλλ᾽ ἐπὶ τὴν λυχνίαν, καὶ λάμπει πᾶσι τοῖς ἐν τῇ οἰκίᾳ.
16 Tako da se svetli vaše videlo pred ljudima, da vide vaša dobra dela, i slave Oca vašeg koji je na nebesima.
16 Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.
16 οὕτω λαμψάτω τὸ φῶς ὑμῶν ἔμπροσθεν τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ὅπως ἴδωσιν ὑμῶν τὰ καλὰ ἔργα καὶ δοξάσωσι τὸν πατέρα ὑμῶν τὸν ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς.
17 Ne mislite da sam ja došao da pokvarim zakon ili proroke: nisam došao da pokvarim, nego da ispunim.
17 “Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill.
17 Μὴ νομίσητε ὅτι ἦλθον καταλῦσαι τὸν νόμον ἢ τοὺς προφήτας· οὐκ ἦλθον καταλῦσαι, ἀλλὰ πληρῶσαι.
18 Jer vam zaista kažem: dokle nebo i zemlja stoji, neće nestati ni najmanje slovce ili jedna titla iz zakona dok se sve ne izvrši.
18 For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.
18 ἀμὴν γὰρ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἕως ἂν παρέλθῃ ὁ οὐρανὸς καὶ ἡ γῆ, ἰῶτα ἓν ἢ μία κεραία οὐ μὴ παρέλθῃ ἀπὸ τοῦ νόμου ἕως ἂν πάντα γένηται.
19 Ako ko pokvari jednu od ovih najmanjih zapovesti i nauči tako ljude, najmanji nazvaće se u carstvu nebeskom; a ko izvrši i nauči, taj će se veliki nazvati u carstvu nebeskom.
19 Therefore, whoever shall break one of these least commandments and teach others to do so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven.
19 ὃς ἐὰν οὖν λύσῃ μίαν τῶν ἐντολῶν τούτων τῶν ἐλαχίστων καὶ διδάξῃ οὕτω τοὺς ἀνθρώπους, ἐλάχιστος κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν ποιήσῃ καὶ διδάξῃ, οὗτος μέγας κληθήσεται ἐν τῇ βασιλείᾳ τῶν οὐρανῶν.
20 Jer vam kažem da ako ne bude veća pravda vaša nego književnika i fariseja, nećete ući u carstvo nebesko.
20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.
20 λέγω γὰρ ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν μὴ περισσεύσῃ ἡ δικαιοσύνη ὑμῶν πλεῖον τῶν γραμματέων καὶ Φαρισαίων, οὐ μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς τὴν βασιλείαν τῶν οὐρανῶν.
21 Čuli ste kako je kazano starima: Ne ubij; jer ko ubije, biće kriv sudu.
21 “You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not murder;’ and ‘Whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’
21 Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, οὐ φονεύσεις· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν φονεύσῃ, ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει.
22 A ja vam kažem da će svaki koji se gnevi na brata svog nizašta, biti kriv sudu; a ako li ko reče bratu svom: Raka! Biće kriv skupštini; a ko reče: Budalo! Biće kriv paklu ognjenom.
22 But I tell you that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be in danger of the judgment. Whoever says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ will be in danger of the council. Whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of Gehenna.
22 Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὀργιζόμενος τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ εἰκῆ ἔνοχος ἔσται τῇ κρίσει· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν εἴπῃ τῷ ἀδελφῷ αὐτοῦ ῥακά, ἔνοχος ἔσται τῷ συνεδρίῳ· ὃς δ᾽ ἂν εἴπῃ μωρέ, ἔνοχος ἔσται εἰς τὴν γέενναν τοῦ πυρός.
23 Zato dakle ako prineseš dar svoj k oltaru, i onde se opomeneš da brat tvoj ima nešto na te,
23 “If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
23 Ἐὰν οὖν προσφέρῃς τὸ δῶρόν σου ἐπὶ τὸ θυσιαστήριον κἀκεῖ μνησθῇς ὅτι ὁ ἀδελφός σου ἔχει τι κατὰ σοῦ,
24 ostavi onde dar svoj pred oltarom, i idi pre te se pomiri s bratom svojim, pa onda dođi i prinesi dar svoj.
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.
24 ἄφες ἐκεῖ τὸ δῶρόν σου ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ θυσιαστηρίου, καὶ ὕπαγε πρῶτον διαλλάγηθι τῷ ἀδελφῷ σου, καὶ τότε ἐλθὼν πρόσφερε τὸ δῶρόν σου.
25 Miri se sa suparnikom svojim brzo, dok si na putu s njim, da te suparnik ne preda sudiji, a sudija da te ne preda sluzi i u tamnicu da te ne stave.
25 Agree with your adversary quickly while you are with him on the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and you be cast into prison.
25 Ἴσθι εὐνοῶν τῷ ἀντιδίκῳ σου ταχὺ ἕως ὅτου εἶ ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, μήποτέ σε παραδῷ ὁ ἀντίδικος τῷ κριτῇ καὶ ὁ κριτής σε παραδῷ τῷ ὑπηρέτῃ, καὶ εἰς φυλακὴν βληθήσῃ·
26 Zaista ti kažem: nećeš izaći odande dok ne daš do poslednjeg dinara.
26 Most certainly I tell you, you shall by no means get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
26 ἀμὴν λέγω σοι, οὐ μὴ ἐξέλθῃς ἐκεῖθεν ἕως οὗ ἀποδῷς τὸν ἔσχατον κοδράντην.
27 Čuli ste kako je kazano starima: Ne čini preljube.
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery;’
27 Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, οὐ μοιχεύσεις.
28 A ja vam kažem da svaki koji pogleda na ženu sa željom, već je učinio preljubu u srcu svom.
28 but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart.
28 Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι πᾶς ὁ βλέπων γυναῖκα πρὸς τὸ ἐπιθυμῆσαι αὐτὴν ἤδη ἐμοίχευσεν αὐτὴν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ.
29 A ako te oko tvoje desno sablažnjava, iskopaj ga i baci od sebe: jer ti je bolje da pogine jedan od udova tvojih negoli sve telo tvoje da bude bačeno u pakao.
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
29 εἰ δὲ ὁ ὀφθαλμός σου ὁ δεξιὸς σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔξελε αὐτὸν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου βληθῇ εἰς γέενναν.
30 I ako te desna ruka tvoja sablažnjava, odseci je i baci od sebe: jer ti je bolje da pogine jedan od udova tvojih negoli sve telo tvoje da bude bačeno u pakao.
30 If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.
30 καὶ εἰ ἡ δεξιά σου χεὶρ σκανδαλίζει σε, ἔκκοψον αὐτὴν καὶ βάλε ἀπὸ σοῦ· συμφέρει γάρ σοι ἵνα ἀπόληται ἓν τῶν μελῶν σου καὶ μὴ ὅλον τὸ σῶμά σου βληθῇ εἰς γέενναν.
31 Tako je kazano: Ako ko pusti ženu svoju, da joj da knjigu raspusnu.
31 “It was also said, ‘Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorce,’
31 Ἐρρέθη δέ· ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ, δότω αὐτῇ ἀποστάσιον.
32 A ja vam kažem da svaki koji pusti ženu svoju, osim za preljubu, navodi je te čini preljubu; i koji puštenicu uzme preljubu čini.
32 but I tell you that whoever puts away his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is put away commits adultery.
32 Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ὃς ἂν ἀπολύσῃ τὴν γυναῖκα αὐτοῦ παρεκτὸς λόγου πορνείας, ποιεῖ αὐτὴν μοιχᾶσθαι, καὶ ὃς ἐὰν ἀπολελυμένην γαμήσῃ, μοιχᾶται.
33 Još ste čuli kako je kazano starima: Ne kuni se krivo, a ispuni šta si se Gospodu zakleo.
33 “Again you have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, ‘You shall not make false vows, but shall perform to the Lord your vows,’
33 Πάλιν ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη τοῖς ἀρχαίοις, οὐκ ἐπιορκήσεις, ἀποδώσεις δὲ τῷ Κυρίῳ τοὺς ὅρκους σου.
34 A ja vam kažem: ne kunite se nikako: ni nebom, jer je presto Božji;
34 but I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
34 Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ὀμόσαι ὅλως· μήτε ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ, ὅτι θρόνος ἐστὶ τοῦ Θεοῦ·
35 ni zemljom, jer je podnožje nogama Njegovim; ni Jerusalimom, jer je grad velikog Cara.
35 nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.
35 μήτε ἐν τῇ γῇ, ὅτι ὑποπόδιόν ἐστι τῶν ποδῶν αὐτοῦ· μήτε εἰς Ἱεροσόλυμα, ὅτι πόλις ἐστὶ τοῦ μεγάλου βασιλέως·
36 Ni glavom svojom ne kuni se, jer ne možeš dlake jedne bele ili crne učiniti.
36 Neither shall you swear by your head, for you can’t make one hair white or black.
36 μήτε ἐν τῇ κεφαλῇ σου ὀμόσῃς, ὅτι οὐ δύνασαι μίαν τρίχα λευκὴν ἢ μέλαιναν ποιῆσαι.
37 Dakle neka bude vaša reč: da - da; ne - ne; a šta je više od ovog, oda zla je.
37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
37 ἔστω δὲ ὁ λόγος ὑμῶν ναὶ ναί, οὒ οὔ· τὸ δὲ περισσὸν τούτων ἐκ τοῦ πονηροῦ ἐστιν.
38 Čuli ste da je kazano: Oko za oko, i zub za zub.
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
38 Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, ὀφθαλμὸν ἀντὶ ὀφθαλμοῦ καὶ ὀδόντα ἀντὶ ὀδόντος·
39 A ja vam kažem da se ne branite oda zla, nego ako te ko udari po desnom tvom obrazu, obrni mu i drugi;
39 But I tell you, don’t resist him who is evil; but whoever strikes you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.
39 Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν μὴ ἀντιστῆναι τῷ πονηρῷ· ἀλλ᾽ ὅστις σε ῥαπίσει ἐπὶ τὴν δεξιὰν σιαγόνα, στρέψον αὐτῷ καὶ τὴν ἄλλην·
40 i koji hoće da se sudi s tobom i košulju tvoju da uzme, podaj mu i haljinu.
40 If anyone sues you to take away your coat, let him have your cloak also.
40 καὶ τῷ θέλοντί σοι κριθῆναι καὶ τὸν χιτῶνά σου λαβεῖν, ἄφες αὐτῷ καὶ τὸ ἱμάτιον·
41 I ako te potera ko jedan sat, idi s njime dva.
41 Whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
41 καὶ ὅστις σε ἀγγαρεύσει μίλιον ἕν, ὕπαγε μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ δύο·
42 Koji ište u tebe, podaj mu; i koji hoće da mu uzajmiš, ne odreci mu.
42 Give to him who asks you, and don’t turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
42 τῷ αἰτοῦντί σε δίδου καὶ τὸν θέλοντα ἀπὸ σοῦ δανείσασθαι μὴ ἀποστραφῇς.
43 Čuli ste da je kazano: Ljubi bližnjeg svog, i mrzi na neprijatelja svog.
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
43 Ἠκούσατε ὅτι ἐρρέθη, ἀγαπήσεις τὸν πλησίον σου καὶ μισήσεις τὸν ἐχθρόν σου.
44 A ja vam kažem: ljubite neprijatelje svoje, blagosiljajte one koji vas kunu, činite dobro onima koji na vas mrze i molite se Bogu za one koji vas gone;
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
44 Ἐγὼ δὲ λέγω ὑμῖν, ἀγαπᾶτε τοὺς ἐχθροὺς ὑμῶν, εὐλογεῖτε τοὺς καταρωμένους ὑμᾶς, καλῶς ποιεῖτε τοῖς μισοῦσιν ὑμᾶς καὶ προσεύχεσθε ὑπὲρ τῶν ἐπηρεαζόντων ὑμᾶς καὶ διωκόντων ὑμᾶς,
45 da budete sinovi Oca svog koji je na nebesima; jer On zapoveda svom suncu, te obasjava i zle i dobre, i daje dažd pravednima i nepravednima.
45 that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.
45 ὅπως γένησθε υἱοὶ τοῦ πατρὸς ὑμῶν τοῦ ἐν οὐρανοῖς, ὅτι τὸν ἥλιον αὐτοῦ ἀνατέλλει ἐπὶ πονηροὺς καὶ ἀγαθοὺς καὶ βρέχει ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ἀδίκους.
46 Jer ako ljubite one koji vas ljube, kakvu platu imate? Ne čine li to i carinici?
46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
46 ἐὰν γὰρ ἀγαπήσητε τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας ὑμᾶς, τίνα μισθὸν ἔχετε; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι τὸ αὐτὸ ποιοῦσι;
47 I ako Boga nazivate samo svojoj braći, šta odviše činite? Ne čine li tako i neznabošci?
47 If you only greet your friends, what more do you do than others? Don’t even the tax collectors do the same?
47 καὶ ἐὰν ἀσπάσησθε τοὺς φίλους ὑμῶν μόνον, τί περισσὸν ποιεῖτε; οὐχὶ καὶ οἱ τελῶναι οὕτω ποιοῦσιν;
48 Budite vi dakle savršeni, kao što je savršen Otac vaš nebeski.
48 Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.
48 Ἔσεσθε οὖν ὑμεῖς τέλειοι, ὥσπερ ὁ πατὴρ ὑμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς τέλειός ἐστιν.
