Lukáš 1
1 Poněvadž mnozí usilovali sepsati pořádně vypravování těch věcí, kteréž jsou u nás jisté,
My noble [friend] Theophilus, many people saw the things that [Jesus] did while he was with us, from the time when he started [MTY] [his ministry]. They served God [by teaching people] the message [about the Lord Jesus]. Many of those who heard what they taught wrote down for us accounts of the things that [Jesus did from the time when] he began [his ministry].
2 Jakž jsou nám vydali ti, kteřížto od počátku sami viděli, a služebníci toho Slova byli,
3 Vidělo se i mně, kterýž jsem toho všeho pravé povědomosti došel, tobě z gruntu o tom pořádně vypsati, výborný Theofile,
I myself have studied these accounts carefully. So I decided that it would be good for me also to write for you [(sg)] an accurate account of these matters.
4 Abys zvěděl jistotu těch věcí, jimž jsi vyučován.
I want you to know the truth about what you have been taught {what others have taught you}.
5 Byl za dnů Herodesa krále Judského kněz nějaký, jménem Zachariáš, z třídy Abiášovy, a manželka jeho ze dcer Aronových, a jméno její Alžběta.
When King Herod [the Great ruled] Judea [district], there was a [Jewish] priest named Zechariah. He belonged to the [group of priests called] the Abijah group. He and his wife Elizabeth were both descended from the [first priest of Israel], Aaron.
6 Byli pak oba spravedliví před obličejem Božím, chodíce ve všech přikázáních a spravedlnostech Páně bez úhony.
[God considered that] both of them were righteous, because they constantly completely obeyed everything that God had commanded.
7 A neměli plodu, protože Alžběta byla neplodná, a oba se byli zstarali ve dnech svých.
But they had no children, because Elizabeth had been unable to bear children. Furthermore, she and her husband were very old.
8 I stalo se, když on úřad kněžský konal v pořádku třídy své před Bohem,
One day [Zechariah’s] group was doing their work [in the Temple in Jerusalem], and he was serving as a priest in God’s presence.
9 Že vedle obyčeje úřadu kněžského los naň přišel, aby položil zápal, vejda do chrámu Páně.
Following their custom, [the other priests] chose him by lot to enter the Lord’s temple and burn incense.
10 A všecko množství lidu bylo vně, modlíce se v hodinu zápalu.
While he was burning the incense, many people were outside [in the courtyard], praying.
11 Tedy ukázal se jemu anděl Páně, stoje na pravé straně oltáře zápalu.
Then an angel whom God had [sent] appeared to him. The angel was standing at the right side of the place [where the priests burned] incense.
12 A uzřev jej Zachariáš, zstrašil se, a bázeň připadla na něj.
When Zechariah saw the angel, he was startled and became very afraid.
13 I řekl jemu anděl: Neboj se, Zachariáši, neboť jest uslyšána modlitba tvá, a Alžběta manželka tvá porodí tobě syna, a nazůveš jméno jeho Jan.
But the angel said to him, “Zechariah, do not be afraid! When you [(sg)] prayed [asking God for a son] (OR, [that God would send the Messiah]), God heard what you prayed. [So] your wife Elizabeth shall bear a son. You must name him John.
14 Z čehož budeš míti radost a veselé, a mnozí z jeho narození budou se radovati.
He will cause you to be very happy, and many other people will also be happy because he is born.
15 Bude zajisté veliký před obličejem Páně, a vína i nápoje opojného nebudeť píti, a Duchem svatým bude naplněn hned od života matky své.
God will consider him to be very important. He must never drink wine or any other alcoholic drink, [in order that he will be completely dedicated to God]. He will be controlled by the Holy Spirit {The Holy Spirit will control him} from before he is born.
16 A mnohé z synů Izraelských obrátí ku Pánu Bohu jejich.
He will [persuade] many people in Israel to turn away [from their sins and please] the Lord their God.
17 Neboť, on předejde před obličejem jeho v duchu a v moci Eliášově, aby obrátil srdce otců k synům, a nevěřící k opatrnosti spravedlivých, aby tak připravil Pánu lid hotový.
As [God’s] Spirit enables him [to preach] powerfully as [the prophet] Elijah did, he will precede [the Messiah]. He will cause parents [SYN] to act [peacefully] toward their children [again]. He will cause [many] people who do not obey [God to hear and obey] the wise things that righteous people [tell them]. He will do this in order to help [many] people to be ready when the Lord [comes].”
18 I řekl Zachariáš k andělu: Po čemž to poznám? Nebo já starý jsem, a manželka má zstarala se ve dnech svých.
Then Zechariah said to the angel, “I am very old, and my wife is also so old [that she cannot bear a child. So] (I cannot [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]!/how can I [believe] that what you [(sg)] said [will happen]?) [RHQ]”
19 Odpověděv anděl, řekl jemu: Jáť jsem Gabriel, kterýž stojím před obličejem Božím, a poslán jsem, abych mluvil s tebou, a tyto věci veselé tobě zvěstoval.
Then the angel said to him, “I am [God’s chief angel], Gabriel! [I do what God tells me, because] I constantly am in God’s presence! I was sent {[He] sent me} to tell you [(sg)] something good [that is going to happen to you].
20 A aj, budeš němý, a nebudeš moci mluviti až do toho dne, v kterémž se tyto věci stanou, protože jsi neuvěřil řečem mým, kteréž se naplní časem svým.
What I have told you will certainly happen at the time [God decides], but you did not believe what I told you. So now [God will make] you will be unable to talk until the day [your son is born]”!
21 Lid pak očekával Zachariáše, a divili se, že on tak prodléval v chrámě.
While [Zechariah and the angel] were talking, the people [in the courtyard] were waiting for Zechariah [to come out]. They wondered, “Why is he staying in the Temple for such a long time?”
22 Vyšed pak, nemohl mluviti k nim. I srozuměli, že vidění viděl v chrámě. Nebo on návěští jim dával, a zůstal němý.
When Zechariah came out, he was not able to speak to the people. Because he could not talk, he made motions with his hands [to try to convey what had happened]. Then they realized that he had seen (a vision [from God]/something that [God] showed him) while he was in the Temple.
23 I stalo se, když se vyplnili dnové konání úřadu jeho, odšel do domu svého.
When Zechariah’s time to work [as a priest in the Temple] was finished, he [left Jerusalem and] returned to his home.
24 A po těch dnech počala Alžběta manželka jeho, a tajila se za pět měsíců, řkuci:
Some time later his wife Elizabeth became pregnant [EUP]. She did not leave their house for five months, [because she knew that people would laugh at her if she told them that she was pregnant].
25 Že tak mi učinil Pán ve dnech, v nichžto vzezřel, aby odjal mé pohanění mezi lidmi.
But she thought, “God has enabled me to become pregnant. He has pitied me and I will no longer be ashamed [because I have no children]!”
26 V měsíci pak šestém poslán jest anděl Gabriel od Boha do města Galilejského, kterémuž jméno Nazarét,
When Elizabeth had been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, the angel Gabriel was sent by God {God sent the angel Gabriel} [again].
27 Ku panně zasnoubené muži, kterémuž jméno bylo Jozef, z domu Davidova, a jméno panny Maria.
[This time] he went to Nazareth [town] in Galilee [district], to a virgin whose name was Mary. It had been {[Her parents] had} promised that she would marry a man named Joseph, who was descended from [King] David.
28 I všed k ní anděl, dí: Zdráva milosti došlá, Pán Bůh s tebou, požehnaná ty mezi ženami.
The angel greeted her and said, “(The Lord/God) is with you [(sg)] and you will be greatly blessed {[has decided to] greatly bless you}!”
29 Ona pak uzřevši ho, zarmoutila se nad řečí jeho, a myslila, jaké by to bylo pozdravení.
But Mary was very confused [when she heard] that. She wondered what [the angel meant] by these words.
30 I řekl jí anděl: Neboj se, Maria, nebo jsi nalezla milost u Boha.
Then the angel said to her, “Mary, God is very pleased with you [(sg)], so do not be afraid.
31 A počneš v životě a porodíš syna, a nazůveš jméno jeho Ježíš.
You will become pregnant and bear a son, and you must name him Jesus.
32 Tenť bude veliký, a Syn Nejvyššího slouti bude, a dáť jemu Pán Bůh stolici Davida otce jeho.
He will become great. He will be called {[People will] call him} (the Son of God/the man who is also God). God, the Lord, will make him a king [MTY] as his ancestor [King] David was.
He will be the King of [the] Jews, the descendants [MTY] of [your ancestor] Jacob, forever. He will rule as king forever!” (aiōn g165)
34 I řekla Maria k andělu: Kterak se to stane, poněvadž já muže nepoznávám?
Then Mary said to the angel, “I am a virgin, so how can I [have a baby]?”
35 A odpověděv anděl, řekl jí: Duch svatý sstoupí v tě, a moc Nejvyššího zastíní tobě; a protož, což se z tebe svatého narodí, slouti bude Syn Boží.
The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come to you; the power of God [MTY/EUP] will overshadow you [and enable you to become pregnant]. So the child [you will] bear will be completely set apart {give himself completely} to obey God, and he will be called {[people] will say that he is} (the Son of God/the man who is also God).
36 A aj, Alžběta, příbuzná tvá, i ona počala syna v starosti své, a tento jest jí šestý měsíc, kteráž sloula neplodná.
[I also need to tell you something else]. Your cousin Elizabeth is very old, and it was thought {[people] said} that she could not bear any children. But she has been [pregnant] [EUP] [for almost] six months, and will bear a son!
37 Neboť nebude nemožné u Boha všeliké slovo.
[You should not be surprised at that], because God can do everything!”
38 I řekla Maria: Aj, služebnice Páně, staniž mi se podle slova tvého. I odšel od ní anděl.
Then Mary said, “All right, I want to serve (the Lord/God), so may what you [(sg)] have said about me come true!” Then the angel left her.
39 Tedy povstavši Maria v těch dnech, odešla na hory s chvátáním do města Judova.
Very soon after that, Mary got ready and went quickly to a town in the highlands of Judea [district] where Zechariah lived.
40 I vešla do domu Zachariášova, a pozdravila Alžběty.
She entered his house and greeted [his wife] Elizabeth.
41 I stalo se, jakž uslyšela pozdravení Marie Alžběta, zplésalo nemluvňátko v životě jejím, a naplněna jest Duchem svatým Alžběta.
As soon as Elizabeth heard Mary greet her, the baby moved inside [Elizabeth’s] womb. The Holy Spirit took complete control of Elizabeth,
42 I zvolala hlasem velikým a řekla: Požehnaná ty mezi ženami, a požehnaný plod života tvého.
and she said loudly [to Mary], “[God] has blessed you [more than] he has blessed [any other] woman, and [he has] blessed the child you will bear!
43 A odkud mi to, aby přišla matka Pána mého ke mně?
(I am not worthy that [God would allow you] to visit me!/Why is [God allowing you] to visit me?) [RHQ] You will be the mother of my Lord!
44 Nebo aj, jakž se stal hlas pozdravení tvého v uších mých, zplésalo radostně nemluvňátko v životě mém.
[I realize this because] as soon as I heard you greet me, the baby inside my womb moved because he was so happy [that you had come].
45 A blahoslavená, kteráž uvěřila, neboť dokonány budou ty věci, kteréž jsou povědíny jí ode Pána.
[God] is pleased with you [because] you believed that what (the Lord/God) told you would come true.”
46 Tedy řekla Maria: Velebí duše má Hospodina,
Then Mary [praised God by] saying/singing: “, how I [SYN] praise (the Lord/God)!
47 A veselí se duch můj v Bohu, Spasiteli mém,
I am happy because God is the one who saves me.
48 Že jest vzezřel na ponížení služebnice své; neb aj, od této chvíle blahoslaviti mne budou všickni národové.
I was only his lowly servant girl, but he did not forget me. So from now on, everyone will say that God was pleased with me,
49 Neboť mi učinil veliké věci ten, jenž mocný jest, a svaté jméno jeho,
because they will hear about the things that God [MTY], the mighty one, has done for me. He [MTY] is awesome!
50 A jehož milosrdenství od pokolení až do pokolení bojícím se jeho.
He acts mercifully toward all those who respect him.
51 Dokázal moci ramenem svým, rozptýlil pyšné myšlením srdce jejich.
He shows people that he [MTY] is very powerful. He scatters those who think proudly.
52 Sházel mocné s stolic, a povýšil ponížených.
He does not let mighty kings rule [MTY] any more, but he honors people who are oppressed (OR, humble).
53 Lačné nakrmil dobrými věcmi, a bohaté pustil prázdné.
He gives good things to eat to those who are hungry, but he sends away the rich people without giving them anything.
54 Přijal Izraele, služebníka svého, pamětliv jsa na milosrdenství své
And now he has remembered what he promised. So he has helped me and all the other people of [MTY] Israel who serve him.
He promised to Abraham and all our other ancestors who descended from him that he would act mercifully toward them forever.” (aiōn g165)
56 I zůstala Maria s ní asi za tři měsíce, a potom navrátila se do domu svého.
Mary stayed with Elizabeth for about three months. Then she returned to her home.
57 Alžbětě pak naplnil se čas, aby porodila; i porodila syna.
When it was time for Elizabeth to give birth to her child, she bore a son.
58 A uslyšeli sousedé a přátelé její, že Hospodin veliké učinil s ní milosrdenství své, i radovali se spolu s ní.
Her neighbors and relatives heard how (the Lord/God) had greatly blessed her [by enabling her to bear a child], so they were happy along with [Elizabeth].
59 Stalo se pak v den osmý, přišli obřezovati dítěte, a nazývali jej jménem otce jeho Zachariášem.
Seven days later they gathered together for the [ceremony for] circumcising the baby [to show that he belonged to God]. They wanted to give the baby the same name as his father, Zechariah.
60 Ale odpověděvši matka jeho, řekla: Nikoli, ale slouti bude Jan.
But his mother said, “No, [his name will not be Zechariah]. His name will be John!”
61 I řekli k ní: Však nižádného není v rodu tvém, kterýž by sloul jménem tím.
[So] they said to her, “[John] is not the name of any of your [(dl)] relatives, [so you(dl) should not give him that name]!”
62 I dávali návěští otci jeho, jak by ho chtěl nazývati.
Then they made motions with their hands to Zechariah, [for him] to indicate what name [he] wanted to be given {to give} to his son.
63 A on požádav deštičky, napsal řka: Jan jest jméno jeho. I divili se všickni.
[So] he signaled that they [should give him] a tablet [to write on. When they gave him one], he wrote [on it], “His name is John.” All those [who were there] were surprised!
64 A ihned otevřela se ústa jeho a jazyk jeho, i mluvil, velebě Boha.
Immediately Zechariah was able to speak again [MTY], and he praised God.
65 Tedy přišla bázeň na všecky sousedy jejich, a po všech horách Judských rozhlásána jsou všecka ta slova.
All their neighbors were amazed/awestruck! They told other people who lived all over the highlands of Judea about what had happened.
66 A všickni, kteříž o tom slyšeli, skládali to v srdci svém, řkouce: I kteraké dítě toto bude? A ruka Páně byla s ním.
Everyone who heard about it kept thinking about it. They were saying, “We wonder what will this child do [for God when] he [grows up] [RHQ]!” They wondered that because [from what had happened they were sure that] God would be helping that child [SYN] [in a powerful way].
67 Zachariáš pak otec jeho naplněn jest Duchem svatým, a prorokoval řka:
[After] Zechariah’s [son was born], Zechariah was completely directed by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit completely directed Zechariah} as he spoke these words that came from God:
68 Požehnaný Pán Bůh Izraelský, že jest navštívil, a učinil vykoupení lidu svému,
“Praise the Lord, the God whom we(inc) people of Israel worship, because he has come to set us, his people, free from our enemies.
69 A vyzdvihl nám roh spasení v domu Davida, služebníka svého,
He is sending us someone who will powerfully [MTY] save us, someone who is descended from [MTY] King David, who served God well.
Long ago God caused his prophets to say that he would do that. (aiōn g165)
71 O vysvobození z nepřátel našich, a z ruky všech, kteříž nás nenáviděli,
He will rescue us from our enemies, and he will save us from the power of all those who hate us.
72 Aby učinil milosrdenství s otci našimi, a rozpomenul se na smlouvu svou svatou,
He will do this because he has not forgotten what he promised our ancestors; he made an agreement that he would act mercifully to us, their descendants.
73 Na přísahu, kterouž jest přisáhl Abrahamovi, otci našemu, že jistě nám to dá,
That is what he strongly promised our ancestor Abraham that he would do.
74 Abychom bez strachu, z ruky nepřátel našich jsouce vysvobozeni, sloužili jemu,
God told him that we would be rescued {he would rescue us} from the power of our enemies, that he would enable us to serve him without being afraid,
75 V svatosti a v spravedlnosti před obličejem jeho, po všecky dny života našeho.
that he would cause us to be completely dedicated to him, and enable us to live righteously all of our lives.”
76 Ty pak, dítě, prorokem Nejvyššího slouti budeš, nebo předejdeš před tváří Páně připravovati cesty jeho,
[Then Zechariah said this to] his little son: “My child, you will be called {people will say that you are} a prophet whom God [MTY/EUP] has sent; you will begin your work before (the Lord/Messiah) comes; you will prepare people so that they will be ready for him. (OR, you will begin your work before the Messiah comes).
77 Aby bylo dáno umění spasitelné lidu jeho na odpuštění hříchů jejich,
You will tell God’s people how he will forgive them and save them from being punished for their sins.
78 Skrze srdečné milosrdenství Boha našeho, v němžto navštívil nás, vyšed z výsosti,
Our God will do that because he is very kind to us. Just like a new day begins when the sun rises [MET], God will do that new thing for us when the Messiah comes to us from heaven.
79 Aby se ukázal sedícím v temnostech a v stínu smrti, k spravení noh našich na cestu pokoje.
People who do not know God [MET] are like those who sit in the darkness. They are afraid [MTY] that they will soon die. But when the Messiah tells us God’s message, it will be like causing such people to see a bright light. He will guide us [SYN] so that we will be living peacefully.”
80 Dítě pak rostlo a posilovalo se v duchu, a bylo na poušti až do dne zjevení svého lidu Izraelskému.
[Later], Zechariah’s son grew up and became spiritually strong. Then he lived in a desolate region until he began to preach to the Israeli people.
