Matouš 17
1 A po šesti dnech pojal Ježíš Petra a Jakuba a Jana bratra jeho, i uvedl je na horu vysokou soukromí,
A week after Jesus [said that], he took Peter, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James, and led them up a high mountain where they were away from other people.
2 A proměnil se před nimi. I zastkvěla se tvář jeho jako slunce, roucho pak jeho učiněno bílé jako světlo.
[While they were there, the three disciples] saw that Jesus’ appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun, and his clothing [shone and] became as brilliant as light.
3 A aj, ukázali se jim Mojžíš a Eliáš, rozmlouvající s ním.
Suddenly Moses and Elijah, [who were important prophets many years ago], appeared and started talking with him.
4 A odpověděv Petr, řekl Ježíšovi: Pane, dobré jest nám tuto býti. Chceš-li, uděláme tuto tři stánky, tobě jeden a Mojžíšovi jeden a Eliášovi jeden.
Peter [saw them and] said to Jesus, “Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here! If you want [me to], I will make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Když pak on ještě mluvil, aj, oblak světlý zastínil je. A aj, hlas z toho oblaku řkoucí: Tentoť jest ten můj milý Syn, v němž mi se dobře zalíbilo, toho poslouchejte.
While Peter was speaking, a bright cloud [appeared and] covered them. [They heard God] speaking [about Jesus from] inside the cloud. He said [to them], “This is my Son. I love him. He pleases me very much. [So] you must listen to him!”
6 To uslyšavše učedlníci, padli na tváři své a báli se velmi.
When the three disciples heard [God speaking], they were terrified. [As a result], they fell prostrate on the ground.
7 A přistoupiv Ježíš, dotekl se jich, řka: Vstaňte a nebojte se.
But Jesus went to them and touched them [and] said [to them], “Stand up! Do not be afraid any more!”
8 Pozdvihše pak očí svých, žádného neviděli, než samého Ježíše.
And when they looked up [MTY], they saw that Jesus was the only one [who was still there].
9 Když pak sstupovali s té hory, přikázal jim Ježíš, řka: Žádnému nepravte tohoto vidění, dokudž by Syn člověka nevstal z mrtvých.
When they were walking down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you saw [on the mountain top] until [God has caused me], the one who has come from heaven, to become alive again after I die.”
10 I otázali se ho učedlníci jeho, řkouce: Což to pak zákonníci praví, že má Eliáš prvé přijíti?
[Those three disciples had just seen Elijah and he did not do anything to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah], so they asked Jesus, “If [what you say is true], why do the men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that it is necessary for Elijah to come [back to earth] before [the Messiah comes]?”
11 Ježíš pak odpovídaje, řekl jim: Eliáš zajisté přijde prvé, a napraví všecky věci.
Jesus answered [them], “It is true that [God promised that] Elijah would come to prepare many [HYP] [people for the Messiah’s coming].
12 Ale pravím vám, že Eliáš již přišel, a však nepoznali ho, ale učinili mu, což chtěli. Takť i Syn člověka trpěti bude od nich.
But note this: Elijah’s [representative] has already come, [and our leaders have seen him], but they did not recognize him [as the one who would come before the Messiah]. Instead, they treated him [badly], just like they desired. And those same rulers will soon treat [me], the one who came from heaven, in the same manner.”
13 Tedy srozuměli učedlníci, že jim to pravil o Janovi Křtiteli.
Then the three disciples understood that [when he was talking about Elijah], he was referring to John the Baptizer.
14 A když přišli k zástupu, přistoupil k němu člověk, a poklekl před ním na kolena,
When [Jesus and the three disciples] returned to the [rest of us disciples] and to the crowd [that had gathered], a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
15 A řekl: Pane, smiluj se nad synem mým, nebo náměsičník jest, a těžce se trápí. Často zajisté padá do ohně a častokrát do vody.
He said [to him], “Sir/Lord, have mercy on my son and [heal him]! He has epilepsy and suffers very much. [Because of this illness], he has fallen in the fire and in the water many times.
16 I přivedl jsem ho učedlníkům tvým, ale nemohli ho uzdraviti.
I brought him to your disciples [in order that they might heal him], but they were not able to heal him.”
17 Odpovídaje pak Ježíš, řekl: Ó národe nevěrný a převrácený, dokud budu s vámi? Dokudž vás snášeti budu? Přiveďte mi jej sem.
Jesus responded [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything! Your minds] are distorted! How long do I have to be with you [before you] are [able to do what I do] [RHQ]? How long [do] I have to endure your [not believing] [RHQ]? Bring the boy here to me!”
18 I přimluvil tomu ďábelství Ježíš. I vyšlo od něho; a uzdraven jest ten mládenec v tu hodinu.
When [they brought the boy to Jesus], Jesus rebuked the demon [that was causing the epilepsy]. [As a result], the demon came out of the boy, and right then the boy was healed.
19 Tedy přistoupivše učedlníci k Ježíšovi soukromí, řekli: Proč jsme my ho nemohli vyvrci?
[Later, some of us] disciples approached Jesus. We asked him privately, “Why were we [(exc)] not able to expel the demon?”
20 Ježíš pak řekl jim: Pro nevěru svou. Amen zajisté pravím vám: Budete-li míti víru jako zrno horčičné, díte hoře této: Přejdi odsud tam, i přejde, a nebudeť vám nic nemožného.
He answered us, “It is because you did not believe very much [in God’s power]. Think about this: Mustard seeds [are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe [that God will do what you ask him to], you will be able to do anything [LIT]! You [could even] say to this hill, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it would go [where you told it to go].”
21 Toto pak pokolení nevychází, jediné skrze modlitbu a půst.
22 A když byli v Galilei, řekl jim Ježíš: Syn člověka bude vydán v ruce lidské,
When [we disciples] had gathered together in Galilee [district], Jesus said to us, “[I], the one who came from heaven, will soon be handed over {[Someone] will soon hand me, the one who came from heaven, over} to the authorities [SYN].
23 A zamordujíť jej, ale třetího dne z mrtvých vstane. I zarmoutili se náramně.
They will kill me. But [God] will cause me to become alive again on the third day [after I am killed].” [When we heard that], we became very sad.
24 A když přišli do Kafarnaum, přistoupili ku Petrovi ti, kteříž plat vybírali, a řekli: Což mistr váš nedává platu?
When we came to Capernaum [city], the men who collect taxes [for the Temple approached Peter and said to him], “Your teacher pays the [Temple tax], does he not?”
25 A on řekl: Dává. A když přišel domů, předšel jej Ježíš, řka: Co se tobě zdá, Šimone? Králové zemští od kterých berou daň aneb plat? Od synů-li svých, čili od cizích?
He answered [them], “Yes, [he does pay it].” When we came into the house [where Jesus was saying], [before Peter began to talk about paying taxes], Jesus said [to him], “Simon, from whom do you think rulers collect revenue or taxes? [Do they collect taxes] from the citizens of their own [country], or from citizens of countries [they have conquered]?”
26 Dí jemu Petr: Od cizích. I řekl mu Ježíš: Tedy synové jsou svobodní.
Peter answered [him], “From [citizens of] other [countries].” Then Jesus said to him, “So citizens of their own [country] do not need to [pay taxes].
27 Ale abychom jich nepohoršili, jda k moři, vrz udici, a tu rybu, kteráž nejprvé uvázne, vezmi, a otevra ústa její, nalezneš groš. Ten vezma, dej jim za mne i za sebe.
But [even though the Temple is mine, pay the tax for us so that the Temple tax collectors will not become angry with us. In order to get the money to pay it], go to the lake. Cast your [fish line and] hook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a silver coin [that is worth enough to pay the tax] for you and me. Take that coin and give [it] to the Temple tax collectors.”
