Marek 4
1 A opět počal Ježíš učiti u moře. I shromáždil se k němu zástup mnohý, takže vstoupiv na lodí, seděl na moři, a všecken zástup byl na zemi podle moře.
Another time Jesus began to teach [people] alongside Lake [Galilee. As he was doing that, a very large crowd gathered around him. Because people were jostling him], he got into a boat in the lake [so that he could speak to the crowd better. Then he sat in it and began to teach the crowd from the boat]. At the same time, the crowd was on the shore close to the lake.
2 I učil je mnohým věcem v podobenstvích, a pravil jim v učení svém:
Then he taught them many parables. While he was teaching them, he told them [this]:
3 Slyšte. Aj, vyšel rozsevač, aby rozsíval.
“Consider [well the meaning of this illustration]: A man/farmer went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
4 I stalo se v tom rozsívání, že jedno padlo podle cesty, a přiletělo ptactvo nebeské, i szobali je.
As he was scattering them [over the soil], some [of the] seeds fell on the path. Then some birds came and ate those seeds.
5 A jiné padlo na místo skalnaté, kdežto nemělo mnoho země, a hned vzešlo; neb nemělo hlubokosti země.
Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of] rock. Very soon the [seeds] sprouted because [the sun warmed] the moist soil quickly where it was not deep.
6 A když vyšlo slunce, uvadlo, a protože nemělo kořene, uschlo.
But after the sun shone [on those young plants], they became scorched. Then they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
7 A jiné padlo mezi trní; i zrostlo trní, a udusilo je. I nevydalo užitku.
As the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny plants. [The] seeds [grew, but] the thorny plants also grew up and crowded out [the] good [plants. So the plants] produced no grain.
8 Jiné pak padlo v zemi dobrou, a dalo užitek vzhůru vstupující a rostoucí; přineslo zajisté jedno třidcátý, a jiné šedesátý, a jiné pak stý.
But as the farmer sowed, other [seeds] fell on good soil. As a result, they sprouted, they grew well, and then they produced [plenty of] grain. [Some] plants bore 30 [grains]. [Some] bore 60 [grains]. [Some] bore 100 [grains].”
9 I pravil jim: Kdo má uši k slyšení, slyš.
Then Jesus said, “If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
10 A když pak byl sám, tázali se ho ti, kteříž při něm byli, se dvanácti, na to podobenství.
[Later], when only the twelve [disciples] and a few [other] people were with him, they asked him about the parables.
11 I řekl jim: Vámť jest dáno, znáti tajemství království Božího, ale těm, kteříž jsou vně, v podobenství všecko se děje,
He said to them, “People have not understood before [the new message] about how God wants to rule people’s lives. It is to you that this is being made known {that I am making this known}. But I tell about this [only] (in parables/figuratively) to those who have not [yet invited God to rule their lives].
12 Aby hledíce, hleděli, a neuzřeli, a slyšíce, slyšeli, a nesrozuměli, aby se snad neobrátili, a byli by jim odpuštěni hříchové.
As a result [it is true what a prophet has written], Although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means] [DOU]. Although they hear [what I say], they do not understand [what it means] [DOU]. So they do not (repent/turn away from their sinful behavior) in order that they would be forgiven {[God] would forgive them}.”
13 I dí jim: Neznáte podobenství tohoto? A kterakž pak jiná všecka podobenství poznáte?
He also said to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand this illustration!/Can you not understand this illustration?) [RHQ] [If you do not understand] this, (you will certainly not understand any of the [other] illustrations!/how will you understand any of the [other] illustrations?) [RHQ] [Nevertheless, I will explain it to you].
14 Rozsevač, ten slovo rozsívá.
[In the illustration that I told you], the man who sows [seeds represents someone who] declares God’s message [DOU].
15 Titoť pak jsou, ješto podle cesty símě přijímají, kdežto se rozsívá slovo, kteréž když oni slyší, ihned přichází satan a vynímá slovo, kteréž vsáto jest v srdcích jejich.
[Some people are like] the path on which [some of] the seeds fell. When they hear [the message], Satan comes at once and causes them to forget what they have heard.
16 A tak podobně ti, kteříž jako skalnatá země posáti jsou, kteřížto jakž uslyší slovo, hned s radostí přijímají je.
[Some people are like the ground where the soil was not very deep over] rock. When they hear [God’s] message, they immediately accept it with joy.
17 Než nemají kořene v sobě, ale jsou časní; potom když vznikne soužení a protivenství pro slovo Boží, hned se horší.
But, because [the message does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their hearts/inner beings, they] believe it for [only a short time. They are like the plants that] did not have deep roots. When others treat such people badly or cause them to suffer because [they believe], those people [who are suffering] soon stop believing God’s message.
18 A tito jsou, jenž mezi trní posáti jsou, kteříž ač slovo slyší,
[Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny weeds in it. [Although] those people hear [God’s] message,
19 Ale pečování tohoto světa a oklamání zboží, a jiné žádosti zlé k tomu přistupující, udušují slovo, takže bez užitku bývá. (aiōn g165)
they desire to be rich, and they desire to own many other things. So they worry [only] about material things. The result is that they forget [God’s] message and they do not do [the things that God wants them to do]. (aiōn g165)
20 Titoť pak jsou, jenž v zemi dobrou símě přijali, kteříž slyší slovo Boží, a přijímají, a užitek přinášejí, jedno třidcátý, a jiné šedesátý, a jiné stý.
[But some people] are like the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and they accept it [and they believe] it. [Then they do the things that God wants them to do. They are like the good plants that produced] 30, 60 or 100 [grains].”
21 Dále pravil jim: Zdali rozsvícena bývá svíce, aby postavena byla pod nádobu nebo pod postel? Však aby na svícen vstavena byla.
He also told them [another parable], saying, “(People certainly do not [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed./Would anyone [light] an oil lamp and then bring it [in the house] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} under a container or under a bed?) [RHQ] (No, [they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house].[/Wouldn’t they light it] in order that it may be put {someone may put it} in a place [where it lights the house]?) [RHQ]
22 Nebo nic není skrytého, co by nebylo zjeveno; aniž jest co tak ukrytého, aby najevo nevyšlo.
[Similarly], there are some [parts of God’s message] that people do not know. [But he intends that] people will understand all the things that they do not know [now].
23 Jestliže kdo má uši k slyšení, slyš.
If you want to understand this, you should consider [carefully] what you [have just heard].”
24 I mluvil k nim: Vizte, co slyšíte. Kterou měrou budete měřiti, touť vám bude odměřeno, a přidáno bude vám poslouchajícím.
Then he said to them, “Consider carefully what you hear [me say to you], for [God] will let you [understand] to the same degree that you [consider what I say]. [He] will let you [understand] even more than that.
25 Nebo kdožť má, tomu bude dáno; a kdo nemá, i to, což má, bude od něho odjato.
Those who [consider what I say] and understand it, [God] will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [consider carefully what I say], they will forget even what they already know.”
26 I pravil jim: Tak jest království Boží, jako kdyby člověk uvrhl símě v zemi.
Jesus also said, “God [has the power to change] people who let him rule their lives. I [will illustrate how that can happen] [MET]. A man planted seeds in the ground.
27 A spal by, a vstával by ve dne i v noci, a semeno by vzešlo a vzrostlo, jakž on neví.
Afterwards he slept each night and rose each day [without worrying about the seeds]. [During that time] the seeds sprouted and grew in a way that he did not understand, because by itself the soil [caused the plants to grow and produce grain].
28 Nebo sama od sebe země plodí, nejprv bylinu, potom klas, potom plné obilé v klasu.
First the stalks [appeared]. Then the heads [appeared]. Then the full kernels in the heads [appeared].
29 A když sezrá úroda, ihned přičiní srp; neboť jest nastala žeň.
As soon as the grain was ripe he sent [people] [MTY] to harvest it because it was time to harvest [the grain].”
30 I řekl opět: K čemu připodobníme království Boží? Aneb kterému podobenství je přirovnáme?
[Jesus told them] another [parable. He] said, “I will tell you [RHQ] how the [number of people] whose lives God rules in a new way [will continue to grow] (OR, each continue to have more and more influence in this world). I hope [RHQ] that this illustration will show this [to you].
31 Jest jako zrno horčičné, kteréžto, když vsáto bývá v zemi, menší jest ze všech semen, kteráž jsou na zemi.
[You know what happens to] mustard seeds when we plant them. Though mustard seeds are among the smallest of seeds, [here in Israel] they become large plants.
32 Ale když vsáto bývá, roste, a bývá větší než všecky byliny, a činíť ratolesti veliké, takže pod stínem jeho mohou sobě ptáci nebeští hnízda dělati.
After they are planted, they grow up and become larger than the other garden plants. They put out big branches so that birds are able to make nests in their shade.”
33 A takovými mnohými podobenstvími mluvil jim slovo, jakž mohli slyšeti.
Jesus used many such illustrations when he talked to the people about God. If they were able to understand [some, he kept telling them more].
34 A bez podobenství nemluvil jim, učedlníkům pak svým soukromí vykládal všecko.
He always used parables when he spoke to them. But he explained all [the illustrations] to his own disciples when he was alone with them.
35 I řekl jim v ten den, když již bylo večer: Plavme se na druhou stranu.
On that same day, when the sun was setting, Jesus said to [his disciples], “Let’s cross over to the opposite side of [Lake Galilee in the boat].”
36 A nechavše zástupu, pojali jej, tak jakž byl na lodičce. Ale i jiné lodičky byly s ním.
So they left the crowd, [got in] the boat where Jesus [already] was, and left. [Other people] went with them in other boats.
37 Tedy stala se bouře veliká od větru, až se vlny na lodí valily, takže se již naplňovala lodí.
A strong wind came up and the waves started coming into the boat! The boat was soon nearly full [of water]!
38 A on zzadu na lodí spal na podušce. I zbudili jej, a řekli jemu: Mistře, což pak nic nedbáš, že hyneme?
Jesus was in the back part of the boat. He was sleeping, [with his head] on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher! (You ought to be concerned that we are about to die!/Are you not concerned that we are about to die?) [RHQ]”
39 I probudiv se, přimluvil větru a řekl moři: Umlkni a upokoj se. I přestal vítr, a stalo se utišení veliké.
So Jesus got up and rebuked the wind. Then he said to the lake, “Be quiet! Be still! [DOU]” The wind [immediately] blowing and then [the lake] became very calm.
40 I řekl jim: Proč se tak bojíte? Což ještě nemáte víry?
He said to the disciples, “([I am disappointed that] you are afraid [like that]!/Why are you afraid [like that]?) [RHQ] Do you not yet believe [that I can protect you]?”
41 I báli se bázní velikou, a pravili jeden k druhému: Hle kdo jest tento, že i vítr i moře poslouchají jeho?
They were very awestruck. They said to one another, “[Not only do the demons obey this man, but] even the wind and the waves obey him! “(What kind of man is he?/This man is [not like ordinary] people!) [RHQ]”
