Matouš 5
1 Vida pak Ježíš zástupy, vstoupil na horu; a když se posadil, přistoupili k němu učedlníci jeho.
When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a hillside. He sat down [in order to teach] his disciples. They came near to him [to listen to him].
2 I otevřev ústa svá, učil je, řka:
Then he began to teach them by saying,
3 Blahoslavení chudí duchem, nebo jejich jest království nebeské.
[God] is pleased with people who recognize that they have a spiritual [need]; he will allow them to be the people whose lives he rules over.
4 Blahoslavení lkající, nebo oni potěšeni budou.
[God] is pleased with people who mourn [because they have sinned; ] they will be encouraged {he will encourage them.}
5 Blahoslavení tiší, nebo oni dědictví obdrží na zemi.
[God] is pleased with people who are meek; they will inherit the earth [that God will recreate].
6 Blahoslavení, kteříž lačnějí a žíznějí spravedlnosti, nebo oni nasyceni budou.
[God] is pleased with people who sincerely [desire to live] righteously [just like they] desire to eat and drink [MET]; they will be enabled {he will enable them} to do all that he desires [MET].
7 Blahoslavení milosrdní, nebo oni milosrdenství důjdou.
[God] is pleased with people who act mercifully; he will act mercifully to them.
8 Blahoslavení čistého srdce, nebo oni Boha viděti budou.
[God] is pleased with people who think only about that which pleases him; [some day] they will [be where] God is and will see him.
9 Blahoslavení pokojní, nebo oni synové Boží slouti budou.
[God] is pleased with people who help other people to live peacefully; they will be considered to be {he will consider that they are} his children [MET].
10 Blahoslavení, kteříž protivenství trpí pro spravedlnost, nebo jejich jest království nebeské.
[God is pleased with] people to whom evil things are done {to whom [other people] do evil things} because they [conducted themselves] righteously; he will allow them to be where he rules over people.
11 Blahoslavení budete, když vám zlořečiti budou a protivenství činiti, a mluviti všecko zlé o vás, lhouce, pro mne.
[God is pleased with] you when [other] people insult you, when [other people] do evil things to you and when [other people] say falsely [that] you are evil because [you believe in] me.
12 Radujte se a veselte se, nebo odplata vaše hojná jest v nebesích. Takť zajisté protivili se prorokům, kteříž byli před vámi.
[When that happens], rejoice and be glad [DOU], because [God will give] you a great reward in heaven. [God will think highly of you], just like [he thought highly of] the prophets whom your [ancestors persecuted] long ago.
13 Vy jste sůl země. Jestliže sůl zmařena bude, čím bude osolena? K ničemuž se nehodí více, než aby byla ven vyvržena a od lidí pošlapána.
“You are [able to influence] evil [people] [MTY] [and improve the way they live in order that they do not become more evil, just like] salt [is able to improve the flavor of food and to preserve it] [MET] [from spoiling]. Salt that no longer tastes salty cannot become salty again [RHQ]. As a result, that salt becomes useless. It is rejected by people, thrown on the ground, and walked on {People reject it, throw it on the ground and walk on it} [MET]. [Similarly, if the way you live no longer influences people to live in a godly manner, God will reject you].
14 Vy jste světlo světa. Nemůžeť město na hoře ležící skryto býti.
You [enable] evil [people] [MTY] [to perceive God’s truth as] a light [enables people to perceive what is around them. Just like] everyone can see [LIT] [the lights of] a city on a hill [MET], [other people can see what you do].
15 Aniž rozsvěcují svíce a stavějí ji pod kbelec, ale na svícen; i svítí všechněm, kteříž jsou v domě.
After people light a lamp, they never put it under a basket. Instead, [they put it] on a lampstand in their houses in order that it can shine on everyone there.
16 Tak svěť světlo vaše před lidmi, ať vidí skutky vaše dobré, a slaví Otce vašeho, kterýž jest v nebesích.
[Similarly], you need to do [what is right] [MET] in such a manner that other people can see the good deeds that you do, and as a result they will praise your Father [who is] in heaven.”
17 Nedomnívejte se, že bych přišel rušiti zákona aneb proroků. Nepřišelť jsem rušiti, ale naplniti.
“I came to earth, not to annul the laws [that God gave Moses] or [what] the prophets [MTY] [wrote]. Instead, I [came] to cause to happen [what the authors of those books predicted would happen]. So do not think any longer that I have come [to earth] in order that I might annul [what they wrote].
18 Amen zajisté pravím vám: Dokudž nepomine nebe i země, jediná literka aneb jeden puňktík nepomine z zákona, až se všecky věci stanou.
Keep this in mind: [Every] point of those laws, [including those points that seem] least important, and even the smallest details of the laws [MTY] will surely be in effect [HYP, LIT] until the heavens and the earth disappear and until all [that God told their authors to write] happens.
19 Protož zrušil-li by kdo jedno z přikázaní těchto nejmenších, a učil by tak lidi, nejmenší slouti bude v království nebeském. Kdož by pak koli činil i učil, ten veliký slouti bude v království nebeském.
Since [all God’s laws are important], if anyone disobeys any of those commandments, [even if it would be] one of the least [important ones], and if that person teaches people [to disobey any of those commandments], it will be said {[God] will say} that that person is the least [important] of those in the place where [EUP] God rules. But those who obey [those commandments] and teach [other people to obey them, it will be said] {[God] will say} that they are very important among those that God rules.
20 Nebo pravím vám: Nebude-liť hojnější spravedlivost vaše nežli zákonníků a farizeů, nikoli nevejdete do království nebeského.
Keep this in mind: [You assume that] the Pharisees and the men who teach our laws [faithfully obey] what God commands. But if you do not obey those laws better than they obey them, you will by no means enter the place where God rules.”
21 Slyšeli jste, že říkáno jest starým: Nezabiješ. Pakli by kdo zabil, povinen trpěti soud.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that it was said {that [Moses] said} to your ancestors, ‘Do not murder [anyone.’ This implied that] if someone murders [another person], the judge will condemn that person [and] sentence him to be [executed] {[say that someone must execute him]}.
22 Ale jáť pravím vám: Že každý, kdož se hněvá na bratra svého bez příčiny, musí trpěti soud. Kdož by pak řekl bratru svému: Rácha, povinen bude před radou státi; a kdož by řekl: Blázne, musí pekelný oheň trpěti. (Geenna g1067)
But what I say to you is this: [If you are] angry with someone, [God] will judge you. If you say to someone, ‘[You are worthless],’ the Jewish Council will judge you. If you [hate someone], and say to them 'You fool!' you. yourself, will be in danger of being thrown into the fires in hell. (Geenna g1067)
23 Protož obětoval-li bys dar svůj na oltář, a tu bys se rozpomenul, že bratr tvůj má něco proti tobě:
So, when you take your gift [for God] to the altar, if you remember that you have offended someone,
24 Nechejž tu daru svého před oltářem a odejdi; prvé smiř se s bratrem svým, a potom přijda, obětuj dar svůj.
leave your gift by the altar, and first go [to the person you have offended]. Tell that person that you are sorry for what you have done, and ask that person to forgive you. Then go back and offer your gift [to God].
25 Vejdi v dobrou vůli s protivníkem svým rychle, dokudž jsi s ním na cestě, aťby snad nedal tebe protivník tvůj soudci, a soudce dal by tě služebníku, a byl bys uvržen do žaláře.
[Also], when a fellow citizen [takes you to court in order to] accuse you, settle accounts with that person quickly while you are walking with that person [to court]. Do that [while there still is time to do so] in order that he will not take you to the judge, [because if] the judge [favors the person who is accusing you, he will declare that you are guilty and send you] to the prison guard, and the prison guard will put you in prison.
26 Amen pravím tobě: Nevyjdeš odtud, dokudž i posledního haléře nenavrátíš.
Keep this in mind: [If you go to prison], you will never get out [because you will never be able to] pay all that the judge says that you owe [MET]. [And remember also that] you [ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
27 Slyšeli jste, že říkáno bylo starým: Nezcizoložíš.
“You have heard [God’s] commandment, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
28 Ale jáť pravím vám: Že každý, kdož by pohleděl na ženu ku požádání jí, již zcizoložil s ní v srdci svém.
But what I say to you is this: If a man only looks at a woman desiring to have sex with her, [God considers that] his doing that [MET] is sin.
29 Jestliže pak oko tvé pravé horší tě, vylup je a vrz od sebe; neboť jest užitečněji tobě, aby zahynul jeden oud tvůj, než by celé tělo tvé uvrženo bylo do ohně pekelného. (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY] you [are tempted to] sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it!] It is good [that you not sin and] as a result [go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both of] your eyes. But it is not good [that you continue to have two eyes and sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 A pakli ruka tvá pravá horší tě, utni ji a vrz od sebe; nebo užitečněji jest tobě, aby zahynul jeden oud tvůj, než by všecko tělo tvé uvrženo bylo do pekelného ohně. (Geenna g1067)
If you are [tempted to] use one of your hands to sin [MTY], [stop using your hand. Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you do not sin and as a result you go to heaven, even though while you are still here on earth] you lack one [or both] of your [hands]. But it is not good [that you sin and, as a result, God] sends your whole body to hell.” (Geenna g1067)
31 Též řečeno jest: Kdož by koli propustil manželku svou, aby jí dal lístek rozloučení.
“It is written {[Moses] wrote}, ‘If a man is divorcing his wife, he should write a document [on which he states that he is] divorcing her.’
32 Jáť pak pravím vám: Že kdožkoli propustil by manželku svou, kromě příčiny cizoložstva, uvodí ji v cizoložstvo, a kdož propuštěnou pojme, cizoloží.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: [A man] may [divorce his wife] only if she has committed adultery, [and not for any other reason]. If a man divorces his wife [for any other reason, and he has sex with another woman], he makes his wife become one against whom he has committed adultery, [because in God’s estimation she still is his wife]. Also, if a man marries a woman who is divorced {whose husband has divorced her}, [God considers] him [guilty of] committing adultery.”
33 Opět slyšeli jste, že říkáno bylo starým: Nebudeš křivě přisahati, ale splníš Pánu přísahy své.
“You have also heard [your religious teachers say] that it was written {that [Moses] wrote} to your ancestors, ‘Make sure that you do what you promised the Lord that you would do!’ [DOU]
34 Ale jáť pravím vám: Abyste nepřisahali všelijak, ani skrze nebe, nebo trůn Boží jest;
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Never promise to do anything and then ask a superior being to affirm [that what you are saying will happen. For example, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings in] heaven [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because heaven is where God [sits] on his throne [MTY] [to rule over people].
35 Ani skrze zemi, nebo podnož jeho jest; ani skrze Jeruzalém, nebo město velikého toho Krále jest.
[Also, do] not [promise that you will give something and then ask spiritual beings] on earth [MTY] [to affirm that you will do it], because the earth is where God rests his feet [MET]. [Also, do] not [promise that you will do something and ask religious authorities] in Jerusalem [to affirm that you will do it], because Jerusalem is the city where [God], the great King [rules].
36 Ani skrze hlavu svou budeš přisahati, nebo nemůžeš jednoho vlasu učiniti bílého aneb černého.
[Also, do not promise that you will do something and then say that] your head [should be cut off] {[someone should cut off] your head} [if you do not do it]. You are not [even] able to [change the color of the hair of your head by] making one [black] hair white or one [white] hair black.
37 Ale buď řeč vaše: Jistě, jistě; nikoli, nikoli. Což pak nad to více jest, to od zlého jest.
[If you talk about doing something], just say ‘Yes, I [will do it],’ or ‘No, I [will not do it].’ [If you say] anything more than that, it is from [Satan], the Evil One.”
38 Slyšeli jste, že říkáno bylo: Oko za oko, a zub za zub.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say] that [it is written] {[Moses wrote]}, ‘[Retaliate like this]: [If someone damages] one of your eyes, [someone should damage] one of that person’s eyes. [If someone damages] one of your teeth, [someone should damage] one of that person’s teeth.’
39 Jáť pak pravím vám: Abyste neodpírali zlému. Ale udeří-li tě kdo v pravé líce tvé, nasaď jemu i druhého.
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Do not take revenge for evil [deeds done] {[that other people do]} [to you]. Instead, if someone [insults you by] striking you on one cheek, turn your other cheek toward that person [in order that he can strike it also].
40 A tomu, kdož se s tebou chce souditi a sukni tvou vzíti, nech mu i pláště.
If someone wants to sue you and take your (inner garment/shirt), give him your (outer garment/coat) also.
41 A nutil-li by tě kdo míli jednu, jdi s ním dvě.
If a [military authority] compels you to go with him one mile [and carry his gear], go with him two miles [and carry his gear].
42 A prosícímu tebe dej, a od toho, kdo by chtěl vypůjčiti od tebe, neodvracuj se.
Also, if someone asks you for [something], give [him what he is asking for]. If someone requests you to lend him [something], do not refuse [to lend it to him].”
43 Slyšeli jste, že říkáno bylo: Milovati budeš bližního svého, a nenáviděti budeš nepřítele svého.
“You have heard [your religious teachers say that it is written that Moses wrote], ‘Love the citizens of your country and hate your enemies.’
44 Ale jáť vám pravím: Milujte nepřátely své, dobrořečte těm, kteříž vás proklínají, dobře čiňte nenávidícím vás, a modlte se za ty, kteříž vás utiskují a vám se protiví,
But [now listen to what] I say to you: Love your enemies [as well as your friends], and pray for those who cause you to suffer.
45 Abyste byli synové Otce svého, kterýž jest v nebesích; nebo slunci svému velí vzchoditi na dobré i na zlé, a déšť dává na spravedlivé i na nespravedlivé.
Do that in order to imitate what [God], your Father [who is] in heaven, does. He desires that you [MET] do [like he does]. [He acts kindly to all people. For example, he causes] the sun to shine [equally] on wicked [people] and on good [people], and [he sends] rain [both] on righteous [people] and on unrighteous [people].
46 Nebo milujete-li ty, kdož vás milují, jakou odplatu máte? Zdaliž i publikáni téhož nečiní?
If you love [only] the people who love you, ([do not expect God to] reward you [in heaven]!/will [God] reward you [in heaven]?) [RHQ] [This is based on the fact that everyone], even the tax collectors, [who you think are very great sinners], love [RHQ] those who love them. [If you act like them], ([you are not any different from tax collectors!/in what way are you different from tax collectors]?) [RHQ]
47 A budete-li pozdravovati toliko bratří svých, což více činíte? Však i publikáni to činí.
If you want [God] to bless only your friends, (you are not acting any better than other people!/are you acting any better than other people?) [RHQ] Even the non-Jews, [who you think sin very much] (OR, [you think are unacceptable to God]), want God to bless their friends [RHQ], [but God does not reward them for that].
48 Buďtež vy tedy dokonalí, jako i Otec váš, kterýž jest v nebesích, dokonalý jest.
[You need to love those who do not love you], and in that way become perfect as [God] your Father, [who is] in heaven, is perfect.”
