Jan 12
1 Tedy Ježíš šestý den před velikonocí přišel do Betany, kdežto byl Lazar, ten kterýž byl umřel, jehož vzkřísil z mrtvých.
Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
2 I připravili jemu tu večeři, a Marta posluhovala, Lazar pak byl jeden z stolících s nimi.
There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
3 Maria pak vzavši libru masti drahé z nardu výborného, pomazala noh Ježíšových, a vytřela vlasy svými nohy jeho. I naplněn jest dům vůní té masti.
Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
4 Tedy řekl jeden z učedlníků jeho, Jidáš, syn Šimona Iškariotského, kterýž jej měl zraditi:
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
5 Proč tato mast není prodána za tři sta peněz, a není dáno chudým?
He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
6 To pak řekl, ne že by měl péči o chudé, ale že zloděj byl, a měšec měl, a to, což do něho kladeno bylo, nosil.
He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
7 Tedy řekl Ježíš: Nech jí, ke dni pohřebu mého zachovala to.
Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
8 Chudé zajisté vždycky máte s sebou, ale mne ne vždycky míti budete.
There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
9 Zvěděl pak zástup veliký z Židů o něm, že by tu byl. I přišli tam, ne pro Ježíše toliko, ale také, aby Lazara viděli, kteréhož byl vzkřísil z mrtvých.
A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
10 Radili se pak přední kněží, aby i Lazara zamordovali.
So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
11 Nebo mnozí z Židů odcházeli pro něho, a uvěřili v Ježíše.
because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
12 Potom nazejtří mnohý zástup, kterýž byl přišel k svátku velikonočnímu, když uslyšeli, že Ježíš jde do Jeruzaléma,
The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 Nabrali ratolestí palmových, a vyšli proti němu, a volali: Spas nás! Požehnaný, jenž se béře ve jménu Páně, Král Izraelský.
So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
14 I dostav Ježíš oslátka, vsedl na ně, jakož psáno jest:
When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
15 Neboj se, dcero Sionská, aj, Král tvůj béře se, na oslátku sedě.
You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
16 Tomu pak nesrozuměli učedlníci jeho zprvu, ale když oslaven byl Ježíš, tedy se rozpomenuli, že jest to psáno bylo o něm a že jemu to učinili.
At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
17 Vydával pak o něm svědectví zástup, kterýž byl s ním, že Lazara povolal z hrobu a vzkřísil jej z mrtvých.
The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
18 Protož i v cestu vyšel jemu zástup, když slyšeli, že by ten div učinil.
Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
19 Tedy farizeové pravili mezi sebou: Vidíte, že nic neprospíváte? Aj, všecken svět postoupil po něm.
So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
20 Byli pak někteří Řekové z těch, kteříž přicházívali, aby se modlili v svátek.
Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
21 Ti také přistoupili k Filipovi, kterýž byl od Betsaidy Galilejské, a prosili ho, řkouce: Pane, chtěli bychom Ježíše viděti.
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
22 Přišel Filip a pověděl Ondřejovi, Ondřej pak a Filip pověděli Ježíšovi.
So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
23 A Ježíš odpověděl jim, řka: Přišlať jest hodina, aby oslaven byl Syn člověka.
Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
24 Amen, amen pravím vám: Zrno pšeničné padna v zemi, neumře-li, onoť samo zůstane, a pakliť umře, mnohý užitek přinese.
Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
25 Kdož miluje duši svou, ztratíť ji; a kdož nenávidí duše své na tomto světě, k životu věčnému ostříhá jí. (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Slouží-li mi kdo, následujž mne; a kdež jsem já, tuť i můj služebník bude. A bude-li mi kdo sloužiti, poctíť ho Otec můj.
If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
27 Nyní duše má zkormoucena jest, a což dím? Otče, vysvoboď mne z této hodiny. Ale proto jsem přišel k hodině této.
Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
28 Otče, oslaviž jméno své. Tedy přišel hlas s nebe řkoucí: I oslavil jsem, i ještě oslavím.
My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
29 Ten pak zástup, kterýž tu stál a to slyšel, pravil: Zahřmělo. Jiní pravili: Anděl k němu mluvil.
The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Odpověděl Ježíš a řekl: Ne pro mneť hlas tento se stal, ale pro vás.
Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
31 Nyníť jest soud světa tohoto, nyní kníže světa tohoto vyvrženo bude ven.
Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
32 A já budu-liť povýšen od země, všecky potáhnu k sobě.
But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
33 (To pak pověděl, znamenaje, kterou by smrtí měl umříti.)
He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
34 Odpověděl jemu zástup: My jsme slyšeli z Zákona, že Kristus zůstává na věky, a kterakž ty pravíš, že musí býti povýšen Syn člověka? Kdo jest to Syn člověka? (aiōn g165)
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
35 Tedy řekl jim Ježíš: Ještě na malý čas Světlo s vámi jest. Choďte, dokud Světlo máte, ať vás tma nezachvátí; nebo kdo chodí ve tmách, neví, kam jde.
Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
36 Dokud Světlo máte, věřte v Světlo, abyste synové Světla byli. Toto pověděl Ježíš, a odšed, skryl se před nimi.
Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
37 A ačkoli tak mnohá znamení činil před nimi, však jsou neuvěřili v něho,
Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
38 Aby se naplnila řeč Izaiáše proroka, kterouž pověděl: Pane, kdo uvěřil kázaní našemu a rámě Páně komu jest zjeveno?
[Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
39 Ale protoť jsou nemohli věřiti, neb opět Izaiáš řekl:
That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
40 Oslepil oči jejich a zatvrdil srdce jejich, aby očima neviděli a srdcem nerozuměli a neobrátili se, abych jich neuzdravil.
They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
41 To pověděl Izaiáš, když viděl slávu jeho a mluvil o něm.
Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
42 A ačkoli mnozí z knížat uvěřili v něho, však pro farizee nevyznávali ho, aby ze školy nebyli vyobcováni.
Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
43 Nebo milovali slávu lidskou více než slávu Boží.
They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
44 Ježíš pak zvolal a řekl: Kdo věří ve mne, ne ve mneť věří, ale v toho, jenž mne poslal.
[Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
45 A kdož vidí mne, vidí toho, kterýž mne poslal.
When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
46 Já Světlo na svět jsem přišel, aby žádný, kdož věří ve mne, ve tmě nezůstal.
I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
47 A slyšel-liť by kdo slova má, a nevěřil by, jáť ho nesoudím; nebo nepřišel jsem, abych soudil svět, ale abych spasen učinil svět.
As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
48 Kdož mnou pohrdá a nepřijímá slov mých, máť, kdo by jej soudil. Slova, kteráž jsem mluvil, tať jej souditi budou v nejposlednější den.
There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
49 Nebo já sám od sebe jsem nemluvil, ale ten, jenž mne poslal, Otec, on mi přikázaní dal, co bych měl praviti a mluviti.
I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
