Lukáš 7
1 A když vykonal všecka slova svá při přítomnosti lidu, všel do Kafarnaum.
After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
2 Setníka pak jednoho služebník nemocen jsa, k smrti se přibližoval, kteréhož on sobě mnoho vážil.
There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
3 I uslyšav o Ježíšovi, poslal k němu starší z Židů, prose ho, aby přišel a uzdravil služebníka jeho.
When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
4 A oni přišedše k Ježíšovi, prosili ho snažně, řkouce: Hoden jest, abys jemu to učinil.
When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
5 Nebo miluje národ náš, a školu on nám vystavěl.
because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
6 Tedy Ježíš šel s nimi. A když již nedaleko byl od domu, poslal k němu setník přátely, řka jemu: Pane, nepřidávej sobě práce. (Nejsem zajisté hoden, abys všel pod střechu mou.
So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
7 A protožť jsem i sebe samého za nehodného položil, abych přišel k tobě.) Ale rci slovem, a budeť uzdraven služebník můj.
I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
8 Nebo i já jsem člověk pod mocí postavený, maje pod sebou žoldnéře, a dím tomuto: Jdi, a jde, a jinému: Přijď, a přijde, a služebníku svému: Učiň toto, a učiní.
[I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
9 Tedy uslyšav to Ježíš, podivil se jemu, a obrátiv se k zástupu, kterýž za ním šel, řekl: Pravím vám, že ani v Izraeli nenalezl jsem tak veliké víry.
When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
10 Vrátivše se pak do domu ti, kteříž posláni byli, nalezli služebníka, kterýž nemocen byl, zdravého.
When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
11 I stalo se potom, šel Ježíš do města, kteréž slove Naim, a šli s ním učedlníci jeho mnozí a zástup veliký.
Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
12 A když se přiblížil k bráně města, aj, mrtvý byl nesen ven, syn jediný matky své, a ta vdova byla, a zástup města mnohý s ní.
As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
13 Kteroužto uzřev Pán, milosrdenstvím hnut jsa nad ní, řekl jí: Neplačiž.
When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
14 A přistoupiv, dotekl se már. (Ti pak, kteříž nesli, zastavili se.) I řekl: Mládenče, toběť pravím, vstaň.
Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
15 I pozdvih se mrtvý, sedl, a počal mluviti. I dal jej mateři jeho.
The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
16 Tedy podjala všecky bázeň, i velebili Boha, řkouce: Že prorok veliký povstal mezi námi, a že Bůh navštívil lid svůj.
Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
17 I vyšla řeč ta o něm po všem Judstvu i po vší okolní krajině.
[Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
18 I zvěstovali Janovi učedlníci jeho o všech těchto věcech. A zavolav kterýchs dvou z učedlníků svých Jan,
The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
19 Poslal k Ježíšovi, řka: Ty-li jsi ten, kterýž přijíti má, čili jiného čekati máme?
So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
20 Přišedše pak k němu muži ti, řekli: Jan Křtitel poslal nás k tobě, řka: Ty-li jsi ten, kterýž přijíti má, čili jiného čekati máme?
When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
21 A v touž hodinu mnohé uzdravil od neduhů, od nemocí a duchů zlých, a slepým mnohým zrak dal.
At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
22 Odpověděv pak Ježíš, řekl jim: Jdouce, povězte Janovi, co jste viděli a slyšeli, že slepí vidí, kulhaví chodí, malomocní očištění přijímají, hluší slyší, mrtví z mrtvých vstávají, chudým se zvěstuje evangelium.
So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
23 A blahoslavený jest, kdož by se na mně nezhoršil.
[Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
24 A když odešli poslové Janovi, počal praviti k zástupům o Janovi: Co jste vyšli na poušť spatřovati? Třtinu-li, kteráž se větrem klátí?
When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
25 Anebo nač jste hleděti vyšli? Na člověka-li měkkým rouchem oděného? Aj, kteříž v rouše slavném a v rozkoši jsou, v domích královských jsou.
Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
26 Aneb co jste vyšli viděti? Proroka-li? Ovšem pravím vám, i více nežli proroka.
Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
27 Tentoť jest, o kterémž jest psáno: Aj, já posílám anděla svého před tváří tvou, jenž připraví cestu tvou před tebou.
He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
28 Nebo pravím vám, většího proroka mezi syny ženskými nad Jana Křtitele není žádného, ale kdož jest menší v království Božím, většíť jest nežli on.
I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
29 Tedy všecken lid slyše to i publikáni, velebili Boha, byvše pokřtěni křtem Janovým.
When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
30 Ale farizeové a zákoníci pohrdli radou Boží sami proti sobě, nebyvše pokřtěni od něho.
But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
31 I řekl Pán: Komu tedy přirovnám lidi pokolení tohoto a čemu podobni jsou?
[Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
32 Podobni jsou dětem, jenž na rynku sedí a jedni na druhé volají, říkajíce: Pískali jsme vám, a neskákali jste; žalostně jsme naříkali vám, a neplakali jste.
You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
33 Nebo přišel Jan Křtitel, nejeda chleba, ani pije vína, a pravíte: Ïábelství má.
[Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
34 Přišel Syn člověka, jeda a pije, a pravíte: Aj, člověk žráč a pijan vína, přítel publikánů a hříšníků.
In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
35 Ale ospravedlněna jest moudrost ode všech synů svých.
But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
36 Prosil ho pak jeden z farizeů, aby jedl s ním. Pročež všed do domu toho farizea, posadil se za stůl.
[One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
37 A aj, žena jedna v městě, kteráž byla hříšnice, zvěděvši, že by seděl za stolem v domě farizea, přinesla nádobu alabastrovou masti.
There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
38 A stojeci zzadu u noh jeho, s pláčem počala slzami smáčeti nohy jeho, a vlasy hlavy své vytírala, a líbala nohy jeho, a mastí mazala.
[As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
39 Uzřev pak to farizeus, kterýž ho byl pozval, řekl sám v sobě: Byť tento byl prorok, vědělť by, která a jaká jest to žena, kteráž se ho dotýká; nebo hříšnice jest.
When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
40 I odpověděv Ježíš, dí k němu: Šimone, mámť něco povědíti. A on řekl: Mistře, pověz.
Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
41 I řekl Ježíš: Dva dlužníky měl jeden věřitel. Jeden dlužen byl pět set peněz, a druhý padesát.
Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
42 A když neměli, odkud by zaplatili, odpustil oběma. Pověziž tedy, který z nich více jej bude milovati?
Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
43 I odpověděv Šimon, řekl: Mám za to, že ten, kterémuž více odpustil. A on řekl jemu: Právě jsi rozsoudil.
Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
44 A obrátiv se k ženě, řekl Šimonovi: Vidíš tuto ženu? Všel jsem do domu tvého, vody nohám mým nepodal jsi, ale tato slzami smáčela nohy mé, a vlasy hlavy své vytřela.
Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
45 Nepolíbil jsi mne, ale tato, jakž jsem všel, nepřestala líbati noh mých.
You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
46 Olejem hlavy mé nepomazal jsi, ale tato mastí mazala nohy mé.
You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
47 Protož pravím tobě: Odpuštěniť jsou jí hříchové mnozí, neboť jest milovala mnoho. Komuť se pak málo odpouští, málo miluje.
So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
48 I řekl k ní: Odpuštěniť jsou tobě hříchové.
Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
49 Tedy počali, kteříž tu spolu seděli za stolem, říci sami mezi sebou: Kdo jest tento, kterýž i hříchy odpouští?
Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
50 I řekl k ženě: Víra tvá tebe k spasení přivedla. Jdiž u pokoji.
But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
