Matouš 13
1 A v ten den vyšed Ježíš z domu, sedl podle moře.
That same day Jesus, [along with us] disciples, left the house [where he was teaching and went] to [Galilee lake]. He sat down there,
2 I sešli se k němu zástupové mnozí, takže vstoupiv na lodí, seděl, všecken pak zástup stál na břehu.
and a very large crowd gathered around him to [listen to his teaching]. So, [in order that they would not jostle him] (OR, [to speak to the people better]), he got into a boat and sat down [to teach them]. The crowd stood on the shore [and was listening].
3 I mluvil jim mnoho v podobenstvích, řka: Aj, vyšel rozsevač, aby rozsíval.
He was telling them many parables. [One of the parables] that he told them was this: “Listen! A man went out [to his field] to sow [some seeds].
4 A když on rozsíval, některá seménka padla podle cesty, a přiletěli ptáci, 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 Jiná pak padla na místa skalnatá, kdežto neměla mnoho země; a rychle vzešla, protože neměla hlubokosti země.
Other [seeds] fell on ground where there was not much soil [on top of the] rock. Those seeds sprouted very soon, [because the sun quickly warmed] the shallow soil.
6 Ale když slunce vzešlo, uvadla, a že neměla kořene, uschla.
But when [the young plants came up], they were scorched by the sun, and they withered because they did not have [deep] roots.
7 Jiná pak padla v trní; i vzrostlo trní, a udusilo je.
Other seeds fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together with the young plants], and [they] crowded out [the plants].
8 A jiná padla v zemi dobrou; i vydalo užitek, některé stý, jiné šedesátý a jiné třidcátý.
[But] other seeds fell on good soil, and [the plants grew and] produced [a lot of] grain. Some [plants produced] 100 times [as many seeds as were planted]. Some [plants produced] 60 times [as much]. Some [plants produced] 30 times [as much].
9 Kdo má uši k slyšení, slyš.
If you want to understand this [MTY], you should consider [carefully what I have just said].”
10 Tedy přistoupivše učedlníci, řekli jemu: Proč jim v podobenstvích mluvíš?
[We] disciples approached Jesus and asked him, “Why do you use parables when you speak to the crowd?”
11 On pak odpověděv, řekl jim: Nebo vám dáno jest znáti tajemství království nebeského, ale jim není dáno.
He answered [us] saying, “God [EUP/MTY] is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [over people’s lives]. But he has not revealed it to others.
12 (Nebo kdož má, bude jemu dáno a rozhojníť se; ale kdož nemá, i to, což má, bude od něho odjato.)
Those who [think about what I say and] understand [it], God will enable them to understand more. But those who do not [think carefully about what I say] will forget even what they already know.
13 Protoť v podobenstvích mluvím jim, že vidouce nevidí, a slyšíce neslyší, ani rozumějí.
That is why I use parables when I speak to people, because although they see [what I do], they do not perceive [what it means], and although they hear [what I say], they do not really understand [what it means].
14 A plní se na nich proroctví Izaiáše, řkoucí: Ušima uslyšíte, ale nesrozumíte; a hledíce, hleděti budete, ale neuzříte.
What these people do completely fulfills what [God told] the prophet Isaiah [to say long ago to the people who did not] try to understand what he said, You will hear [what I say], but you will not understand it. You will keep seeing [what I do], but you will not understand [what it means] [DOU].
15 Nebo ztučnělo jest srdce lidu tohoto, a ušima těžce slyšeli a oči své zamhouřili, aby snad někdy neuzřeli očima a ušima neslyšeli a srdcem nesrozuměli, a neobrátili se, a já abych jich neuzdravil.
[God also said to Isaiah], These people have become unresponsive [MTY] [to what they see me do and to what they hear me say]. They listen unwillingly [MTY] [to what I say], and they do not pay attention to [MTY] [what I do]. If it were not so, they would perceive [MTY] [what I am doing], they would understand [MTY] [what I say to them], and they would turn [away from their sinful lives] and turn [to me], and I would save them [from being punished for their sins] [MET].
16 Ale oči vaše blahoslavené jsou, že vidí, i uši vaše, že slyší.
But as for you, God is pleased with you because you [SYN] have seen [what I have done] and because you [SYN] understand [what I say] [DOU].
17 Amen zajisté pravím vám, že mnozí proroci a spravedliví žádali viděti to, což vy vidíte, a neviděli, a slyšeti to, což vy slyšíte, a neslyšeli.
Note this: Many prophets and righteous people [who lived long ago] longed to see what you are seeing [me do], but they did not see it. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but they did not hear [what you hear me say].” [DOU]
18 Vy tedy slyšte podobenství rozsevače.
“[Since God wants] you [to understand what I am teaching you], listen as I [explain] the parable about the man who sowed [seeds in various kinds of soil].
19 Každý, kdož slyší slovo království a nerozumí, přichází ten zlý a uchvacuje to, což jest vsáto v srdce jeho. To jest ten, kterýž podle cesty vsát jest.
The people who hear about how God rules over people’s lives and do not understand [what they have heard] are [like] the path where [some of] the seeds fell. [Satan], the Evil One, comes and causes these people to forget [MET] what they have heard [MET].
20 Ale v skalnatou zemi vsátý, ten jest, kterýž slyší slovo, a hned je s radostí přijímá.
[Some people are like the] shallow soil on top of rock. When they hear God’s message, they immediately accept it joyfully.
21 Než nemá v sobě kořene, ale jest časný, a když přichází soužení nebo protivenství pro slovo, hned se horší.
[But because it does not penetrate deeply into their inner beings, they believe it for only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When they are treated badly and caused to suffer because they believe [God’s message], they soon stop believing [it].
22 Ale mezi trní vsátý, ten jest, kterýž slyší slovo Boží, ale pečování tohoto světa a oklamání zboží udušuje slovo, i bývá učiněno bez užitku. (aiōn g165)
[Some people are like the soil that had the roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They hear God’s message, but they desire to be rich, [so they] worry [only] about [MTY, PRS] material things. As a result, they [PRS] forget [God’s] message, and they do not do [IDM] the things that God wants them to do. (aiōn g165)
23 V dobrou pak zemi vsátý, ten jest, kterýž slyší slovo a rozumí, i ovoce nese a vydává, některé zajisté stý, a jiné šedesátý, jiné pak třidcátý.
But [some people are like the] good soil where [some of the seeds] fell. [Just like the plants that grew in this soil] produced a lot of grain, [these people] hear my message and understand it. [Some of them] do many things [IDM] [that please God, some do] even more [things that please God, and some do] very many [things that please God].”
24 Jiné podobenství předložil jim, řka: Podobno jest království nebeské člověku, rozsívajícímu dobré semeno na poli svém.
Jesus also told the crowd another parable, [by which he tried to explain that although] God [MTY/EUP] is a king, [he will not immediately judge and punish all the wicked people]. Jesus said, “[God] is like a landowner [who sent his servants] to sow good [wheat] seed in his field.
25 Když pak lidé zesnuli, přišel nepřítel jeho a nasál koukole mezi pšenici a odšel.
While those servants were sleeping [and not watching the field], an enemy of the landowner came and scattered weed [seeds] in the midst of the wheat. Then he left.
26 A když vzrostla bylina a užitek přinesla, tedy ukázal se i koukol.
After [the seeds] sprouted and the green plants [grew], the heads of grain began to form. But the weeds also grew.
27 I přistoupivše služebníci hospodáře toho, řekli jemu: Pane, všaks dobrého semene nasál na poli svém, kdeže se pak vzal koukol?
So the servants of the landowner came and said to him, ‘Sir, you [RHQ] [gave us good seeds and those are the ones we] [RHQ] [planted] in your field. So where did the weeds come from?’
28 A on řekl jim: Nepřítel člověk to učinil. Služebníci pak řekli mu: Chceš-liž, tedy půjdeme a vytrháme jej?
The landowner said to them, ‘[My] enemy did this.’ His servants said to him, ‘So, do you want us to pull up [the weeds and] put them in a pile?’
29 On pak odpověděl: Nikoli, abyste trhajíce koukol, spolu s ním nevytrhali pšenice.
He said [to them], ‘No, [do not do that, because] you might pull up [some of] the wheat at the same time.
30 Nechte, ať obé spolu roste až do žni. A v čas žni dím žencům: Vytrhejte nejprv koukol a svažte jej v snopky k spálení, ale pšenici shromažďte do stodoly mé.
Let the wheat and the weeds grow together until harvest [time].’ At that time I will say to the reapers, ‘First gather the weeds, tie them into bundles to be burned. Then gather the wheat [and put it] into my barns.’”
31 Jiné podobenství předložil jim, řka: Podobno jest království nebeské zrnu horčičnému, kteréž vzav člověk, vsál na poli svém.
Jesus also told this parable: “The [number of] (OR, [God’s influence in the lives of]) [people whose] lives God rules over [will continue to grow. It is very much] like mustard seeds grow after a man plants them in his field.
32 Kteréžto zajisté nejmenší jest mezi všemi semeny, když pak vzroste, větší jest všech bylin, a bývá strom, takže ptactvo nebeské přiletíce, hnízda sobě dělají na ratolestech jeho.
Although mustard seeds are among the smallest of all the seeds [that people plant, here in Israel they become large plants. When the plants have fully grown, they are larger than the other garden plants. They become shrubs that are large enough for birds to build nests in their branches.”]
33 Jiné podobenství mluvil jim, řka: Podobno jest království nebeské kvasu, kterýž vzavši žena, zadělala ve třech měřicích mouky, až by zkysalo všecko.
Jesus also told this parable: “[The way people who let] God [MTY/EUP] rule their lives [MET] [can influence the world] is like yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
34 Toto všecko mluvil Ježíš v podobenstvích k zástupům, a bez podobenství nemluvil jim,
Jesus told the crowd parables [to teach them] all these things. When he spoke [HYP] to them, he habitually used such illustrations.
35 Aby se naplnilo povědění skrze proroka, řkoucího: Otevru v podobenstvích ústa svá, vypravovati budu skryté věci od založení světa.
By doing that, [he] fulfilled what [God told one of] the prophets to write [long ago]: I will speak [MTY] in parables; I will tell [parables to teach] what I have kept secret since I created the world.
36 Tedy rozpustiv zástupy, šel do domu Ježíš. I přistoupili k němu učedlníci jeho, řkouce: Vylož nám podobenství o koukoli toho pole.
After Jesus dismissed the crowds, he went inside. Then [we] disciples approached him and said, “Explain to us the parable about the weeds [that grew] in the [wheat] field.”
37 On pak odpovídaje, řekl jim: Rozsevač dobrého semene jestiť Syn člověka.
He answered, “The one who sows the good seed represents [me], the one who came from heaven.
38 A pole jest tento svět, dobré pak símě jsouť synové království, ale koukol jsou synové toho zlostníka.
The field represents this world [MTY], [where people live]. The seeds [that grew] well represent the people who let God rule their lives [MET]. The weeds represent the people who do what [the devil], the Evil One, [tells them to do].
39 A nepřítel, kterýž jej rozsívá, jestiť ďábel, ale žeň jest skonání světa, a ženci jsou andělé. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed the weed seeds represents the devil. The [time when the reapers will] harvest [the grain] represents the time when the world will end. The reapers represent the angels. (aiōn g165)
The weeds are gathered and burned. {The reapers gather the weeds. Then they burn them.} That represents [the judging of people, which God will do] when the world will end. [It will be like this]: (aiōn g165)
41 Pošle Syn člověka anděly své, i vyberouť z království jeho všecka pohoršení, i ty, kteříž činí nepravost,
I, the one who came from heaven, will send my angels, and they will gather [from everywhere the people] who cause others to quit believing in me [MET] and all those who disobey [God’s] commands.
42 A uvrhouť je do peci ohnivé. Tamť bude pláč a škřipení zubů.
They will throw those people into the fires of [hell]. There those people will weep and grind their teeth [because of the great pain that they are suffering]. (questioned)
43 A tehdážť spravedliví stkvíti se budou jako slunce v království Otce svého. Kdo má uši k slyšení, slyš.
[God’s] brightness will shine [on] the people who have lived as he wants them to. It will shine [on them as brightly] as the sun [shines]. It will shine on them in the place where [God], their Father, rules over them. If you want to understand this [MTY], you should think [carefully] about what I have just said.”
44 Opět podobno jest království nebeské pokladu skrytému v poli, kterýž nalezna člověk, skrývá, a radostí pro něj odejde a prodá všecko, což má, a koupí pole to.
“[What people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what a certain man did to acquire a treasure]. A treasure was hidden in a field by someone {Someone hid a treasure in a field [and never dug it up again]}. When [another] man found it, he hid it [by burying it again in order that no one else would find it]. Being very happy [that he had found something very valuable, he went and] sold all his possessions [to obtain money to buy the field the treasure was in]. He then went and bought the field, [and so he was able to acquire that treasure].
45 Opět podobno jest království nebeské člověku kupci, hledajícímu dobrých perel.
Also, what [people do who begin to allow] God [MTY/EUP] to rule their lives is like [what] a merchant [did who was] looking for good quality pearls [to buy].
46 Kterýž nalezna jednu velmi drahou perlu, odšel a prodal všecko, což měl, a koupil ji.
When he found one very costly pearl [that was for sale], he sold all his possessions [to acquire enough money to buy that pearl]. Then he [went and] bought it.
47 Opět podobno jest království nebeské vrši puštěné do moře a ze všelikého plodu shromažďující;
What God [MTY/EUP] [will do to people who falsely say that they are letting him] rule their lives is like what certain [fishermen] did [with the fish they caught] in a lake, using a large net. They caught all classes [of fish, both useful and worthless fish].
48 Kteroužto, když naplněna byla, vytáhše na břeh a sedíce, vybírali, což dobrého bylo, v nádoby své, a což bylo zlého, preč zamítali.
When the net was full, the [fishermen] pulled it up onto the shore. Then they sat there and put the useful [fish] into buckets, and threw the worthless ones away.
[What they did in separating the good fish from the bad ones] is like [what will happen to people] when the world ends. The angels will come [to where God is judging people], and will separate the wicked [people] from the righteous [ones]. (aiōn g165)
50 A uvrhou je do peci ohnivé. Tamť bude pláč a škřipení zubů.
They will throw the wicked people into the fire [in hell]. And those wicked people will weep and gnash their teeth [because of the intense pain they are suffering].” (questioned)
51 Potom dí jim Ježíš: Srozuměli-li jste tomuto všemu? Řekli jemu: I ovšem, Pane.
[Then Jesus asked us], “Do you understand all these [parables I have told you]?” We said to him,
52 On pak řekl jim: Protož každý učitel umělý v království nebeském podoben jest člověku hospodáři, kterýž vynáší z pokladu svého nové i staré věci.
“Yes, [we understand them].” Then he said to us, “Because [you understand all these parables], [you will understand the following parable: You, along with] all others, will teach people what [you heard me say] about God ruling people’s lives. [You will add that to what you formerly learned. You will be] like a manager of a household who takes both new things and old things out of his storage room.”
53 I stalo se, když dokonal Ježíš podobenství tato, bral se odtud.
When Jesus had finished [telling] these parables, he took [us] and left that [area].
54 A přišed do vlasti své, učil je v školách jejich, takže se velmi divili, řkouce: Odkud má tento moudrost tuto a moc tuto?
We went to [Nazareth, his hometown. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day]) he began to teach the people in the Jewish worship house. The result was that the people there were astonished. But [some] said, “[This man is just an ordinary person like us. So] how is it that he knows so much and understands so much [RHQ]? And how is it that he is able to do [such] miracles [RHQ]?
55 Zdaliž tento není syn tesařův? a zdaliž matka jeho neslove Maria a bratří jeho Jakub a Jozes a Šimon a Judas?
(He is [just] the son of the carpenter!/Isn’t he [just] the son of the carpenter [that lived here]?) [RHQ] His mother is Mary, and his younger brothers are James, Joseph, Simon and Judas [RHQ]!
56 A sestry jeho zdaliž také všecky u nás nejsou? Odkudž tedy má tyto všecky věci?
(And his sisters [also live] here in our [town]./Do not his sisters [live] in our [town]?) [RHQ] So how is he able to do all these [miracles]?”
57 I zhoršili se na něm. A Ježíš řekl: Není prorok beze cti, než v své vlasti a v domu svém.
The people were unable to accept [that] he [was the Messiah. So] Jesus said to them, “[People] honor [me and other] prophets [everywhere else we go], but in [our] hometowns [we are] not [honored], and [even] our own families do not [honor us!]”
58 I neučinil tu mnoho divů, pro nevěru jejich.
Jesus did not perform many miracles there because the people did not believe [that he was the Messiah].
