| 1 Pogleda i vidje kako bogataši bacaju u riznicu svoje darove. | 1 When he looked up he saw some wealthy people putting their offerings into the treasury |
| 2 A ugleda i neku ubogu udovicu kako baca onamo dva novčića. | 2 and he noticed a poor widow putting in two small coins. |
| 3 I reče: »Uistinu, kažem vam: ova je sirota udovica ubacila više od sviju. | 3 He said, "I tell you truly, this poor widow put in more than all the rest; |
| 4 Svi su oni zapravo među darove ubacili od svog suviška, a ona je od svoje sirotinje ubacila sav žitak što ga imaše.« | 4 for those others have all made offerings from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood." |
| 5 I dok su neki razgovarali o Hramu, kako ga resi divno kamenje i zavjetni darovi, reče: | 5 While some people were speaking about how the temple was adorned with costly stones and votive offerings, he said, |
| 6 »Doći će dani u kojima se od ovoga što motrite neće ostaviti ni kamen na kamenu nerazvaljen.« | 6 "All that you see here--the days will come when there will not be left a stone upon another stone that will not be thrown down." |
| 7 Upitaše ga: »Učitelju, a kada će to biti? I na koji se znak to ima dogoditi?« | 7 Then they asked him, "Teacher, when will this happen? And what sign will there be when all these things are about to happen?" |
| 8 A on reče: »Pazite, ne dajte se zavesti. Mnogi će doista doći u moje ime i govoriti: ‘Ja sam’ i: ‘Vrijeme se približilo!’ Ne idite za njima. | 8 He answered, "See that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying, 'I am he,' and 'The time has come.' Do not follow them! |
| 9 A kad čujete za ratove i pobune, ne prestrašite se. Doista treba da se to prije dogodi, ali to još nije odmah svršetak.« | 9 When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for such things must happen first, but it will not immediately be the end." |
| 10 Tada im kaza: »Narod će ustati protiv naroda i kraljevstvo protiv kraljevstva. | 10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. |
| 11 I bit će velikih potresa i po raznim mjestima gladi i pošasti; bit će strahota i velikih znakova s neba.« | 11 There will be powerful earthquakes, famines, and plagues from place to place; and awesome sights and mighty signs will come from the sky. |
| 12 »No prije svega toga podignut će na vas ruke i progoniti vas, predavati vas u sinagoge i tamnice. Vući će vas pred kraljeve i upravitelje zbog imena mojega. | 12 "Before all this happens, however, they will seize and persecute you, they will hand you over to the synagogues and to prisons, and they will have you led before kings and governors because of my name. |
| 13 Zadesit će vas to radi svjedočenja.« | 13 It will lead to your giving testimony. |
| 14 »Stoga uzmite k srcu: nemojte unaprijed smišljati obranu! | 14 Remember, you are not to prepare your defense beforehand, |
| 15 Ta ja ću vam dati usta i mudrost kojoj se neće moći suprotstaviti niti oduprijeti nijedan vaš protivnik. | 15 for I myself shall give you a wisdom in speaking that all your adversaries will be powerless to resist or refute. |
| 16 A predavat će vas čak i vaši roditelji i braća, rođaci i prijatelji. Neke će od vas i ubiti.« | 16 You will even be handed over by parents, brothers, relatives, and friends, and they will put some of you to death. |
| 17 »Svi će vas zamrziti zbog imena mojega. | 17 You will be hated by all because of my name, |
| 18 Ali ni vlas vam s glave neće propasti. | 18 but not a hair on your head will be destroyed. |
| 19 Svojom ćete se postojanošću spasiti.« | 19 By your perseverance you will secure your lives. |
| 20 »Kad ugledate da vojska opkoljuje Jeruzalem, tada znajte: približilo se njegovo opustošenje. | 20 "When you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, know that its desolation is at hand. |
| 21 Koji se tada zateknu u Judeji, neka bježe u gore; a koji u Gradu, neka ga napuste; koji pak po poljima, neka se u nj ne vraćaju | 21 Then those in Judea must flee to the mountains. Let those within the city escape from it, and let those in the countryside not enter the city, |
| 22 jer to su dani odmazde, da se ispuni sve što je pisano.« | 22 for these days are the time of punishment when all the scriptures are fulfilled. |
| 23 »Jao trudnicama i dojiljama u one dane jer bit će jad velik na zemlji i gnjev nad ovim narodom. | 23 Woe to pregnant women and nursing mothers in those days, for a terrible calamity will come upon the earth and a wrathful judgment upon this people. |
| 24 Padat će od oštrice mača, odvodit će ih kao roblje po svim narodima. I Jeruzalem će gaziti pogani sve dok se ne navrše vremena pogana.« | 24 They will fall by the edge of the sword and be taken as captives to all the Gentiles; and Jerusalem will be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. |
| 25 »I bit će znaci na suncu, mjesecu i zvijezdama, a na zemlji bezizlazna tjeskoba naroda zbog huke mora i valovlja. | 25 "There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea and the waves. |
| 26 Izdisat će ljudi od straha i iščekivanja onoga što prijeti svijetu. Doista, sile će se nebeske poljuljati. | 26 People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. |
| 27 Tada će ugledati Sina Čovječjega gdje dolazi u oblaku s velikom moći i slavom. | 27 And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. |
| 28 Kad se sve to stane zbivati, uspravite se i podignite glave jer se približuje vaše otkupljenje.« | 28 But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand." |
| 29 I reče im prispodobu: »Pogledajte smokvu i sva stabla. | 29 He taught them a lesson. "Consider the fig tree and all the other trees. |
| 30 Kad već propupaju, i sami vidite i znate: blizu je već ljeto. | 30 When their buds burst open, you see for yourselves and know that summer is now near; |
| 31 Tako i vi kad vidite da se to zbiva, znajte: blizu je kraljevstvo Božje. | 31 in the same way, when you see these things happening, know that the kingdom of God is near. |
| 32 Zaista, kažem vam, ne, neće uminuti naraštaj ovaj dok se sve ne zbude. | 32 Amen, I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all these things have taken place. |
| 33 Nebo će i zemlja uminuti, ali moje riječi ne, neće uminuti.« | 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away. |
| 34 »Pazite na se da vam srca ne otežaju u proždrljivosti, pijanstvu i u životnim brigama te vas iznenada ne zatekne onaj Dan | 34 "Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise |
| 35 jer će kao zamka doći na sve žitelje po svoj zemlji.« | 35 like a trap. For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. |
| 36 »Stoga budni budite i u svako doba molite da uzmognete umaći svemu tomu što se ima zbiti i stati pred Sina Čovječjega.« | 36 Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man." |
| 37 Danju je učio u Hramu, a noću bi izlazio i noćio na gori zvanoj Maslinska. | 37 During the day, Jesus was teaching in the temple area, but at night he would leave and stay at the place called the Mount of Olives. |
| 38 A sav bi narod rano hrlio k njemu u Hram da ga sluša. | 38 And all the people would get up early each morning to listen to him in the temple area. |
