Acts 13
1 Among [the people in] the congregation at Antioch there were (prophets/those who spoke messages from God) and those who taught [people about Jesus. They were] Barnabas; Simeon, who was also called Niger/Blackman; Lucius, from Cyrene [city]; Manaen, who had grown up with [King] Herod [Antipas]; and Saul.
A byli w Antyjochii we zborze, który tam był, niektórzy prorocy i nauczyciele, jako Barnabasz i Symeon, którego zwano Niger, i Lucyjus Cyrenejczyk, i Manahen, który był wychowany z Herodem Tetrarchą, i Saul.
2 While they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said [to them], “Appoint Barnabas and Saul to [serve] me and to [go and do] the work that I have chosen them [to do]!”
A gdy oni służbę Pańską jawnie odprawiali i pościli, rzekł im Duch Święty: Odłączcie mi Barnabasza i Saula do tej sprawy, do którejm ich powołał.
3 So they continued (to fast/to abstain from eating food) and pray. Then having put their hands on Barnabas and Saul and [praying that God would help them], they sent them off [to do what the Holy Spirit had commanded].
Tedy poszcząc i modląc się, i wkładając na nie ręce, odprawili je.
4 Barnabas and Saul, guided by the Holy Spirit, went down [from Antioch] to Seleucia [port]. From there they went by ship to Salamis [port on Cyprus Island].
Oni tedy wysłani będąc od Ducha Świętego, przyszli do Seleucyi, a stamtąd płynęli do Cypru.
5 While they were in Salamis, [they went] to the Jewish meeting places. There they proclaimed the message from God [about Jesus]. John [Mark went with them and] was helping them.
A gdy byli w Salaminie, opowiadali słowo Boże w bóżnicach żydowskich, a mieli z sobą i Jana do usługi.
6 [The three of] them went across the entire island to Paphos [city]. There they met a magician whose name was Bar-Jesus. He was a Jew who falsely [claimed] (to be a prophet/to speak messages from God).
A przeszedłszy onę wyspę aż do Pafu, znaleźli tam jakiegoś czarnoksiężnika, fałszywego proroka, Żyda, któremu imię było Barjezus.
7 He often accompanied the governor [of the island], Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. The governor sent [someone] to ask Barnabas and Saul to come to him, because he wanted to hear God’s message. [So Barnabas and Saul came and told him about Jesus].
Który był przy zacnym staroście, Sergijuszu Pawle, mężu roztropnym. Ten przyzwawszy Barnabasza i Saula, pragnął słuchać słowa Bożego.
8 However, the magician, whose name was Elymas [in the Greek language], was opposing them. He repeatedly tried to persuade the governor not to believe [in Jesus].
Lecz się im sprzeciwił Elimas, on czarnoksiężnik, (albowiem się tak wykłada imię jego), starając się, jakoby starostę od wiary odwrócił:
9 Then Saul, who now called himself Paul, empowered by the Holy Spirit, looked intently at the magician and said,
Tedy Saul, (którego zowią i Pawłem) napełniony będąc Ducha Świętego, a pilnie na niego patrząc,
10 “You [(sg)] are serving the devil and you oppose everything that is good! You are always lying [to people] and doing [other] evil things to them. (You must stop saying that the truth about the Lord [God is a lot of lies!]/When will you stop changing what is true about the Lord [God and saying] what is not true about him?) [RHQ]
Rzekł: O pełny wszelkiej zdrady i wszelkiej przewrotności, synu dyjabelski, nieprzyjacielu wszelkiej sprawiedliwości! nie przestanieszże podwracać prostych dróg Pańskich?
11 Right now the Lord [God] [MTY] is going to punish you! You will become blind and not [even] be able to see light for [some] time.” At once he became [blind, as though he was] in a dark mist, and he groped about, searching for someone [to hold him by the] hand and lead him.
A oto teraz ręka Pańska nad tobą: i będziesz ślepym, nie widząc słońca aż do czasu. A zarazem przypadła na niego chmura i ciemność, a błąkając się szukał, kto by go wiódł za rękę.
12 When the governor saw what had happened [to Elymas], he believed [in the Lord Jesus]. He was amazed by [what Paul and Barnabas] were teaching about the Lord [Jesus].
Tedy widząc starosta, co się stało, uwierzył, zdumiewając się nad nauką Pańską.
13 [After that], Paul and the two men with him went by ship from Paphos to Perga [port] in Pamphylia [province. At Perga] John [Mark] left them and returned to [his home in] Jerusalem.
A puściwszy się z Pafu Paweł i ci, którzy z nim byli, przyszli do Pergi Pamfiliejskiej. A Jan odszedłszy od nich, wrócił się do Jeruzalemu.
14 Then Paul and Barnabas traveled [by land] from Perga, and arrived in Antioch [city] near Pisidia [district in Galatia province]. (On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day) they entered the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place and sat down.
A oni odszedłszy z Pergi, przyszli do Antyjochii Pisydejskiej, a wszedłszy do bóżnicy w dzień sobotni, usiedli.
15 [Someone] read [aloud] from what [Moses had written. Then someone read from what the other] prophets [had written] [MTY]. Then the leaders of the Jewish meeting place gave [someone this] note [to take] to Paul and Barnabas: “Fellow Jews, if [one of] you wants to speak to the people [here] to encourage them, please speak [to us(exc) now].”
A po przeczytaniu zakonu i proroków, posłali do nich przełożeni bóżnicy, mówiąc: Mężowie bracia! macieli wolę jakie napominanie uczynić do ludu, mówcie.
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his right hand [so that the people would listen to him]. Then he said, “Fellow Israelis and you [non-Jewish people] who [also] worship God, [please] listen [to me]!
Tedy powstawszy Paweł, a ręką skinąwszy rzekł: Mężowie Izraelscy i którzy się boicie Boga! słuchajcie:
17 God, whom we [(inc)] Israelis worship, chose our ancestors [to be his people], and he caused them to become very numerous while they were foreigners living in Egypt. [Then after many years], God helped them [MTY] powerfully and led them out of there.
Bóg ludu tego Izraelskiego wybrał ojców naszych i wywyższył lud, gdy byli przychodniami w ziemi egipskiej, i w ramieniu wyciągnionem wywiódł je z niej.
18 [Even though they repeatedly disobeyed him, he] cared for them for about 40 years [while they were] in the desert.
I przez czas czterdziestu lat znosił obyczaje ich na puszczy.
19 He [enabled the Israelis] to conquer seven tribal groups [who were then living] in Canaan [region], and he gave their land to us Israelis for us to possess.
A wygładziwszy siedm narodów w ziemi Chananejskiej, losem rozdzielił między nie onę ziemię ich.
20 [Our ancestors began to possess Canaan] about 450 years after [their ancestors had arrived in Egypt].” Acts 13:20b-22 “After that, God appointed leaders [to rule the Israeli people. Those leaders continued to rule our people] until the time when the prophet Samuel [ruled them].
A potem około czterysta i pięćdziesiąt lat dawał im sędziów, aż do Samuela proroka.
21 Then, [while Samuel was still their leader], the people demanded that he [appoint] a king [to rule them. So] God appointed Saul, the son of Kish, from the tribe of Benjamin, [to be their king]. He [ruled them] for 40 years.
A od onego czasu prosili o króla. I dał im Bóg Saula, syna Cysowego, męża z pokolenia Benjaminowego, przez lat czterdzieści.
22 After God had rejected Saul [from being king], he appointed David to be their king. God said about him, ‘I have observed that David, son of Jesse, is exactly the kind of man that I desire [IDM]. He will do [everything that] I want [him to do].’”
A gdy go odrzucił, wzbudził im Dawida za króla, któremu też świadectwo wydawając powiedział: Znalazłem Dawida, syna Jessego, męża według serca mego, który będzie czynił wszystkę wolę moję.
23 “From [among] David’s descendants, God brought one of them, Jesus, to [us] Israeli people to save us, just like he had told [David and our other ancestors] that he would do.
Z jegoż nasienia Bóg według obietnicy wzbudził Izraelowi zbawiciela Jezusa.
24 Before Jesus began his work, John [the Baptizer] preached to all of our Israeli people [who came to him. He told them] that they should turn away from their sinful behavior [and ask God to forgive them. Then he] would baptize them.
Przed którego przyjściem kazał Jan chrzest pokuty wszystkiemu ludowi Izraelskiemu.
25 When John was about to finish the work [that God gave him to do], he frequently said [to the people], ‘Do you think [RHQ] that I am [the Messiah whom God promised to send]? No, I am not. But listen! The Messiah will [soon] come. [He is so much greater than I am that] I am not [even] important enough to be his slave [MET].’”
A gdy Jan dokonał biegu swego, rzekł: Kim mię być mniemacie? Nie jestem ja, ale oto idzie za mną, u którego nóg obuwia nie jestem godzien rozwiązać.
26 “Fellow Israelis, you who are descendants of Abraham, and [you non-Jewish people who] also worship God, [please listen! It is] to [all of] us that [God] has sent the message about [how he] saves people.
Mężowie bracia, synowie narodu Abrahamowego i którzy się między wami Boga boją! wamci słowo zbawienia tego posłane jest.
27 The people who were living in Jerusalem and their rulers did not realize that this man [Jesus was the one whom God had sent to save them]. Although messages from [MTY] the prophets have been read [aloud] {someone has read [aloud] messages from [MTY] the prophets} every (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), they did not understand [what the prophets wrote about the Messiah. So] the [Jewish leaders] condemned Jesus [to die], which was just like the prophets predicted.
Albowiem ci, co mieszkają w Jeruzalemie i przełożeni ich, nie znając tego Jezusa i głosów prorockich, które przez każdy sabat bywają czytane, wypełnili je, osądziwszy go.
28 [Many people accused Jesus of doing wicked things], but they could not prove that he had done anything for which he deserved to die. They insistently asked Pilate [the governor] to command that Jesus be executed {to command soldiers to execute Jesus}. [So Pilate did what they asked him to do].
A żadnej przyczyny śmierci w nim nie znalazłszy, prosili Piłata, aby był zabity.
29 They did [to Jesus] all the things that [the prophets long ago had] written [that people would do to] him. [They killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross. Then] his body was taken {[some people took] his body} down from the cross and placed it in a tomb.
A gdy wykonali wszystko, co o nim było napisane, zdjąwszy go z drzewa, włożyli go do grobu.
30 However, God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again after he had died)
Ale go Bóg wzbudził od umarłych.
31 and for many days he [repeatedly] appeared to [his followers] who had come along with him from Galilee [province] to Jerusalem. Those [who saw him] are telling the [Jewish] people about him now.”
Który widziany jest przez wiele dni od tych, którzy z nim pospołu przyszli z Galilei do Jeruzalemu, którzy są świadkami jego przed ludem.
32 “[Right] now we [two] are proclaiming to you this good message. We want to tell you that God has fulfilled what he promised to [our Jewish] ancestors!
I my wam opowiadamy tę obietnicę, która się ojcom stała, iż ją Bóg wypełnił nam, dziatkom ich, wzbudziwszy Jezusa.
33 He has now done that for us [(inc) who are] their descendants, [and also for you who are not Jews], by causing Jesus to live again. That is just like what [David] wrote in the second Psalm that [God said when he was sending his Son], You [(sg)] are my Son; Today I have shown everyone [that I really am] your Father.
Jako też w Psalmie wtórym napisane jest: Syn mój jesteś ty, jam ciebie dziś spłodził.
34 [God] has (raised [the Messiah] from the dead/caused [the Messiah] to live again after he had died) and will never let him die again. [Concerning that, God] said [to our Jewish ancestors], ‘I will surely help you, as I [promised] David [that I would do].’
A iż go wzbudził od umarłych, aby się więcej nie wrócił do skażenia, tak powiedział: Dam wam święte dobrodziejstwa Dawidowe wierne.
35 So [in writing] another [Psalm, David] said this [to God about the Messiah]: ‘Because I am devoted to you and always obey [you, when I die] you [(sg)] will not let my body decay.’
Przeto i indziej powiada: Nie dasz Świętemu twemu widzieć skażenia.
36 While David was living, he did what God wanted him to do. And when he died [EUP], his [body] was buried, [as] his ancestors’ [bodies had been buried], and his body decayed. [So he could not have been speaking about himself in this Psalm].
Albowiemci Dawid za wieku swego usłużywszy woli Bożej, zasnął i przyłączony jest do ojców swoich, a widział skażenie.
37 [Instead, he was speaking about Jesus. Jesus also died], but God (raised him from the dead/caused him to live again), and [therefore] his body did not decay.”
Lecz ten, którego Bóg wzbudził, nie widział skażenia.
38 “Therefore, [my] fellow Israelis [and other friends], it is important for you to know that [we(exc)] are declaring to you [that God] can forgive you for your sins as a result of [what] Jesus [has done]. Because of [what] Jesus [has done], [God] considers that everyone who believes [in Jesus] is no longer guilty (OR, the record has been erased {[God] has erased the record}) concerning everything that they [have done that displeased God. But] when [God] does [that for you], it is not as a result of [your obeying] the laws [that] Moses [wrote].
Niechże wam tedy będzie wiadomo, mężowie bracia, iż się wam przez tego opowiada odpuszczenie grzechów:
I od wszystkiego od czegoście nie mogli być przez zakon Mojżeszowy usprawiedliwieni, przez tego każdy wierzący usprawiedliwiony bywa.
40 Therefore be careful that [God] does not judge you [MTY], as one of the prophets said [MTY] that God would do!
A przetoż patrzcie, aby na was nie przyszło to, co powiedziano w prorokach:
41 [The prophet wrote that God said], You who ridicule [me], you will [certainly] be astonished [when you see what I am doing], and [then] you will be destroyed. You will be astonished because I will do something [terrible to you] while you are living. You would not believe [that I would do that] even though someone told you!”
Obaczcie wy wzgardziciele i dziwujcie się, a wniwecz się obróćcie; bo ja sprawuję sprawę za dni waszych, sprawę, której nie wierzycie, choćby wam kto o niej powiadał.
42 After Paul [finished speaking], while he and Barnabas were leaving the Jewish meeting place, [many of] the people there repeatedly requested that on the next (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest) [the two of them] should speak to them [again] about those things [that Paul had just told them].
A gdy oni wychodzili z bóżnicy żydowskiej, prosili ich poganie, aby i w drugi sabat mówili do nich też słowa.
43 After they began to leave [that meeting], many [of them] went along with Paul and Barnabas. They consisted of Jews and also of non-Jews who had accepted the things that the Jews believe. Paul and Barnabas continued talking to them, and were urging them to continue [believing the message that] God kindly [forgives people’s sins because of what Jesus did].
A po rozpuszczeniu zgromadzenia, poszło wiele Żydów i nabożnych nowowierników za Pawłem i Barnabaszem, którzy mówiąc do nich, radzili im, aby trwali w łasce Bożej.
44 On the next Jewish rest day, most of the [people in Antioch came to] the Jewish meeting place to hear [Paul and Barnabas] speak about the Lord [Jesus].
A w drugi sabat niemal wszystko miasto się zgromadziło na słuchanie słowa Bożego.
45 But [the leaders of] [SYN] the Jews became extremely jealous, because they saw that large crowds of [non-Jewish people were coming to hear Paul and Barnabas. So] they began to contradict the things that Paul was saying [and also] to insult [him].
Tedy Żydowie widząc lud, napełnieni są zazdrością i sprzeciwiali się temu, co Paweł powiadał, mówiąc przeciwko temu i bluźniąc.
46 Then, speaking very boldly, Paul and Barnabas said [to those Jewish leaders], “[We two] had to speak the message from God [about Jesus] to you [Jews] first [before we proclaim it to non-Jews, because God commanded us to do that. But] you are rejecting God’s message. [By doing that], you have shown that you are not worthy (to have eternal life/to live eternally [with God]). [Therefore], we are leaving [you, and now we] will go to the non-Jewish people [to tell them the message from God]. (aiōnios g166)
A Paweł i Barnabasz, bezpiecznie mówiąc, rzekli: Wamci najpierwej miało być opowiadane słowo Boże; ale ponieważ je odrzucacie, a sądzicie się być niegodnymi żywota wiecznego, oto się obracamy do pogan. (aiōnios g166)
47 [We are doing that also] because the Lord [God] has commanded us [to do it]. He said to us, ‘I have appointed you [to reveal things about me] to non-Jewish people [MET] that will be [like] a light to them. [I have appointed] you to tell people everywhere [MTY] in the world [about the one who came] to save [them].’”
Albowiem nam tak rozkazał Pan, mówiąc: Położyłem cię światłością poganom, abyś był zbawieniem aż do krajów ziemi.
48 While the non-Jewish people were listening [to those words], they began to rejoice, and they repeatedly said that the message about the Lord [Jesus] was wonderful. And all of the non-Jewish people whom [God] had chosen (to have eternal [life/to live eternally with God]) believed [the message about the Lord Jesus]. (aiōnios g166)
A słysząc to poganie, radowali się i wielbili słowo Pańskie, i uwierzyli, ilekolwiek ich było sporządzonych do żywota wiecznego. (aiōnios g166)
49 [At that time, many of the believers] traveled around throughout that region. As they did that, they were proclaiming the message about the Lord [Jesus] [MTY].
I roznosiło się słowo Pańskie po wszystkiej onej krainie.
50 However, [some leaders of] [SYN] the Jews incited the most important men in the city, and [some] important/influential women who had accepted what the Jews believe, to oppose [Paul and Barnabas. So those non-Jewish people] incited [other people also] to persecute Paul and Barnabas. As a result they expelled the two men from their region.
A Żydowie poduszczali niewiasty nabożne i uczciwe, i przedniejsze w mieście; a wzbudzili prześladowanie przeciwko Pawłowi i przeciwko Barnabaszowi, i wygnali je z granic swoich.
51 So, [as the two apostles were leaving, they] shook the dust from their feet [to show those Jewish leaders that God had rejected them and would punish them. They left Antioch] and went to Iconium [city].
A oni otrząsnąwszy proch z nóg swoich na nie, przyszli do Ikonii.
52 Meanwhile, the believers [in Antioch] continued to rejoice greatly, and they continued to be completely controlled by the Holy Spirit.
A uczniowie byli napełnieni radości i Ducha Świętego.
