Biblija Hrvatski	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Kad se približiše Jeruzalemu te dođoše u Betfagu, na Maslinskoj gori, posla Isus dvojicu učenika	1 And when they had drawn near to Jerusalem, and had arrived at Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 govoreći: »Pođite u selo pred vama i odmah ćete naći privezanu magaricu i uz nju magare. Odriješite ih i dovedite k meni.	2 saying to them: “Go into the town that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Release them, and lead them to me.
3 Ako vam tko što rekne, recite: ‘Gospodinu trebaju’, i odmah će ih pustiti.«	3 And if anyone will have said anything to you, say that the Lord has need of them. And he will promptly dismiss them.”
4 To se dogodi da se ispuni što je rečeno po proroku:	4 Now all this was done in order to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 Recite kćeri Sionskoj: Evo kralj ti tvoj dolazi, krotak, jašuć na magarcu, na magaretu, mladetu magaričinu.	5 “Tell the daughter of Zion: Behold, your king comes to you meekly, sitting on a donkey and on a colt, the son of one accustomed to the yoke.”
6 Učenici odu i učine kako im naredi Isus.	6 Then the disciples, going out, did just as Jesus instructed them.
7 Dovedu magaricu i magare te stave na njih haljine i Isus uzjaha na njih.	7 And they brought the donkey and the colt, and they laid their garments on them, and they helped him sit upon them.
8 Silan svijet prostrije svoje haljine po putu, a drugi rezahu grane sa stabala i sterahu ih po putu.	8 Then a very numerous crowd spread their garments on the way. But others cut branches from the trees and scattered them on the way.
9 Mnoštvo pak pred njim i za njim klicaše: »Hosana Sinu Davidovu! Blagoslovljen Onaj koji dolazi u ime Gospodnje! Hosana u visinama!«	9 And the crowds that preceded him, and those that followed, cried out, saying: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Kad uđe u Jeruzalem, uskomešao se sav grad i govorio: »Tko je ovaj?«	10 And when he had entered into Jerusalem, the entire city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 A mnoštvo odgovaraše: »To je Prorok, Isus iz Nazareta galilejskoga.«	11 But the people were saying, “This is Jesus, the Prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 Isus uđe u Hram i izagna sve koji su prodavali i kupovali u Hramu. Mjenjačima isprevrta stolove i prodavačima golubova klupe.	12 And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and he cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the chairs of the vendors of doves.
13 Kaže im: »Pisano je: Dom će se moj zvati Dom molitve, a vi od njega činite pećinu razbojničku.«	13 And he said to them: “It is written: ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer. But you have made it into a den of robbers.’ ”
14 U Hramu mu priđoše slijepi i hromi i on ih ozdravi.	14 And the blind and the lame drew near to him in the temple; and he healed them.
15 A kad glavari svećenički i pismoznanci vidješe čudesa koja učini i djecu što viču Hramom: »Hosana Sinu Davidovu!«, gnjevni	15 Then the leaders of the priests and the scribes became indignant, seeing the miracles that he wrought, and the children crying out in the temple, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David!”
16 mu rekoše: »Čuješ li što ovi govore?« Kaže im Isus: »Da! A niste li čitali: Iz usta djece i dojenčadi sebi si pripravio hvalu?«	16 And they said to him, “Do you hear what these ones are saying?” But Jesus said to them, “Certainly. Have you never read: For out of the mouth of babes and infants, you have perfected praise?”
17 On ih ostavi, pođe iz grada u Betaniju te ondje prenoći.	17 And leaving them behind, he went out, beyond the city, into Bethania, and he lodged here.
18 Ujutro se vraćao u grad i ogladnje.	18 Then, as he was returning to the city in the morning, he was hungry.
19 Ugleda smokvu kraj puta i priđe k njoj, ali ne nađe na njoj ništa osim lišća pa joj kaže: »Ne bilo više ploda s tebe dovijeka!« I smokva umah usahnu.	19 And seeing a certain fig tree beside the way, he approached it. And he found nothing on it, except only leaves. And he said to it, “May fruit never spring forth from you, for all time.” And immediately the fig tree was dried up.
20 Vidjevši to, učenici se začude: »Kako umah smokva usahnu!«	20 And seeing this, the disciples wondered, saying, “How did it dry up so quickly?”
21 Isus im odvrati: »Zaista, kažem vam, ako budete imali vjeru i ne posumnjate, činit ćete ne samo ovo sa smokvom, nego – reknete li i ovoj gori: ‘Digni se i baci u more!’, bit će tako.	21 And Jesus responded to them by saying: “Amen I say to you, if you have faith and do not hesitate, not only shall you do this, concerning the fig tree, but even if you would say to this mountain, ‘Take and cast yourself into the sea,’ it shall be done.
22 I sve što zaištete u molitvi vjerujući, primit ćete.«	22 And all things whatsoever that you shall ask for in prayer: believing, you shall receive.”
23 I uđe u Hram. Dok je naučavao, pristupiše mu glavari svećenički i starješine narodne te ga upitaše: »Kojom vlašću to činiš? Tko ti dade tu vlast?«	23 And when he had arrived at the temple, as he was teaching, the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people approached him, saying: “By what authority do you do these things? And who has given this authority to you?”
24 Isus im odgovori: »I ja ću vas jedno upitati. Ako mi na to odgovorite, ja ću vama kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.	24 In response, Jesus said to them: “I also will question you with one word: if you tell me this, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Krst Ivanov odakle li bijaše? Od Neba ili od ljudi?« A oni umovahu među sobom: »Reknemo li ‘Od Neba’, odvratit će nam: ‘Zašto mu, dakle, ne povjerovaste?’	25 The baptism of John, where was it from? Was it from heaven, or from men?” But they thought within themselves, saying:
26 A reknemo li ‘Od ljudi’, strah nas je mnoštva. Ta svi Ivana smatraju prorokom.«	26 “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will say to us, ‘Then why did you not believe him?’ But if we say, ‘From men,’ we have the crowd to fear, for they all hold John to be a prophet.”
27 Zato odgovore Isusu: »Ne znamo.« I on njima reče: »Ni ja vama neću kazati kojom vlašću ovo činim.«	27 And so, they answered Jesus by saying, “We do not know.” So he also said to them: “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 »A što vam se čini? Čovjek neki imao dva sina. Priđe prvomu i reče: ‘Sinko, hajde danas na posao u vinograd!’	28 But how does it seem to you? A certain man had two sons. And approaching the first, he said: ‘Son, go out today to work in my vineyard.’
29 On odgovori: ‘Neću!’ No poslije se predomisli i ode.	29 And responding, he said, ‘I am not willing.’ But afterwards, being moved by repentance, he went.
30 Priđe i drugomu pa mu reče isto tako. A on odgovori: ‘Evo me, gospodaru!’ i ne ode.	30 And approaching the other, he spoke similarly. And answering, he said, ‘I am going, lord.’ And he did not go.
31 Koji od te dvojice izvrši volju očevu?« Kažu: »Onaj prvi.« Nato će im Isus: »Zaista, kažem vam, carinici i bludnice pretekoše vas u kraljevstvo Božje!	31 Which of the two did the will of the father?” They said to him, “The first.” Jesus said to them: “Amen I say to you, that tax collectors and prostitutes shall precede you, into the kingdom of God.
32 Doista, Ivan dođe k vama putom pravednosti i vi mu ne povjerovaste, a carinici mu i bludnice povjerovaše. Vi pak, makar to vidjeste, ni kasnije se ne predomisliste da mu povjerujete.«	32 For John came to you in the way of justice, and you did not believe him. But the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. Yet even after seeing this, you did not repent, so as to believe him.
33 »Drugu prispodobu čujte! Bijaše neki domaćin koji posadi vinograd, ogradi ga ogradom, iskopa u njemu tijesak i podiže kulu pa ga iznajmi vinogradarima i otputova.	33 Listen to another parable. There was a man, the father of a family, who planted a vineyard, and surrounded it with a hedge, and dug a press in it, and built a tower. And he loaned it out to farmers, and he set out to sojourn abroad.
34 Kad se približilo vrijeme plodova, posla svoje sluge vinogradarima da uzmu njegov urod.	34 Then, when the time of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, so that they might receive its fruits.
35 A vinogradari pograbe njegove sluge pa jednoga istukoše, drugog ubiše, a trećega kamenovaše.	35 And the farmers apprehended his servants; they struck one, and killed another, and stoned yet another.
36 I opet posla druge sluge, više njih nego prije, ali oni i s njima postupiše jednako.«	36 Again, he sent other servants, more than before; and they treated them similarly.
37 »Naposljetku posla k njima sina svoga misleći: ‘Poštovat će mog sina.’	37 Then, at the very end, he sent his son to them, saying: ‘They will revere my son.’
38 Ali kad vinogradari ugledaju sina, rekoše među sobom: ‘Ovo je baštinik! Hajde da ga ubijemo i imat ćemo baštinu njegovu!’	38 But the farmers, seeing the son, said among themselves: ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and then we will have his inheritance.’
39 I pograbe ga, izbace iz vinograda i ubiju.«	39 And apprehending him, they cast him outside the vineyard, and they killed him.
40 »Kada dakle dođe gospodar vinograda, što će učiniti s tim vinogradarima?«	40 Therefore, when the lord of the vineyard arrives, what will he do to those farmers?”
41 Kažu mu: »Opake će nemilo pogubiti, a vinograd iznajmiti drugim vinogradarima što će mu davati urod u svoje vrijeme.«	41 They said to him, “He will bring those evil men to an evil end, and he will loan out his vineyard to other farmers, who shall repay to him the fruit in its time.”
42 Kaže im Isus: »Zar nikada niste čitali u Pismima: Kamen što ga odbaciše graditelji postade kamen zaglavni. Gospodnje je to djelo – kakvo čudo u očima našim!	42 Jesus said to them: “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone that the builders have rejected has become the cornerstone. By the Lord has this been done, and it is wonderful in our eyes?’
43 Zato će se – kažem vam – oduzeti od vas kraljevstvo Božje i dat će se narodu koji donosi njegove plodove! (	43 Therefore, I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and it shall be given to a people who shall produce its fruits.
44 I tko padne na taj kamen, smrskat će se, a na koga on padne, satrt će ga.)«	44 And whoever will have fallen on this stone shall be broken, yet truly, on whomever it shall fall, it will crush him.”
45 Kad su glavari svećenički i farizeji čuli te njegove prispodobe, razumjeli su da govori o njima.	45 And when the leaders of the priests, and the Pharisees had heard his parables, they knew that he was speaking about them.
46 I tražili su da ga uhvate, ali se pobojaše mnoštva jer ga je smatralo prorokom.	46 And though they sought to take hold of him, they feared the crowds, because they held him to be a prophet.
