John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Cestou Ježíš potkal člověka, který byl od narození slepý.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
„Mistře, “ptali se Ježíše učedníci, „proč se narodil slepý? Zhřešil on, nebo jeho rodiče?“
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
„Nehledejte vinu ani u něho, ani u jeho rodičů, “odpověděl Ježíš. „Jeho slepota dovolí Bohu, aby ukázal svoje dílo pro člověka.
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
Dílo spásy musí být vykonáno, pokud je k němu příležitost. Člověk pracuje ve dne, v noci jsme všichni jako slepí.
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
Dokud prosvětluji temnotu světa, je čas k Božímu dílu.“
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Pak Ježíš plivl na zem, ze sliny udělal bláto, potřel jím slepcovy oči
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
a přikázal: „Běž se umýt do rybníka Siloe.“Slepý Ježíše poslechl. Umyl si v rybníku obličej a pak si promnul oči. Náhle zjistil, že vidí.
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
Ti, kdo ho znali jako slepého, se divili:
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
„Je to ten slepý žebrák, nebo ne?“Někteří si mysleli, že je to on, jiní, že je to jeho dvojník. Ale on řekl: „Jsem to já!“
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
„A jak to, že teď vidíš?“ptali se ho.
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
Pověděl jim, jak se to stalo: „Nějaký Ježíš mi potřel oči blátem a řekl mi, abych se umyl v rybníku Siloe. Udělal jsem to a od té chvíle vidím.“
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
„Nevíš, kde bychom ho našli?“ptali se zvědavě. „To nevím, “odpověděl.
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
Slepec byl uzdraven v sobotu, a proto ho odvedli k farizejům a tam musel znovu vyprávět, jak se to přihodilo.
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
Některým z nich se to nelíbilo: „Ten člověk neuzdravuje z Božího pověření. Vždyť nezachovává sobotu.“Jiní ho zase bránili: „Takové zázraky přece nemůže dělat hříšný člověk.“A už byli v sobě.
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
Znovu se tedy obrátili na uzdraveného: „Co ty si o něm myslíš?“„Určitě je to Boží posel, “odpověděl jim.
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
Farizejové začali pochybovat o tom, že býval slepý. Zavolali si jeho rodiče
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
a zeptali se jich: „Je to váš slepý syn, který od narození neviděl?“
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Rodiče odpověděli: „Je to náš syn a býval vždycky slepý.
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
Ovšem nevíme, kdo ho uzdravil. Konečně, je už dospělý, ať vám to řekne sám.“
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Farizejové hrozili vyloučením z židovské obce každému, kdo by Ježíše prohlásil za Mesiáše.
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
Odpověděli vyhýbavě, protože se báli.
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
A tak si znovu zavolali toho bývalého slepce a přikázali mu: „Řekni pravdu! Bůh tě slyší! Víme, že Ježíš je špatný člověk.“
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
„Nevím, co je to za člověka, “odpověděl uzdravený, „ale vím, že jsem byl slepý a teď vidím!“
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
„Jak tě uzdravil, co s tebou dělal?“ptali se ho znovu.
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
„Už jsem vám to řekl jednou, “odpověděl, „proč se mne na to znovu ptáte? Chcete se snad stát jeho učedníky?“
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Farizejové mu spílali a osopili se na něj: „Ty jsi jeho učedník, my jsme učedníci Mojžíšovi.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
Víme, že Bůh mluvil k Mojžíšovi, ale o tomto člověku nevíme vůbec nic.“
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
„To je ale divné! Vy nevíte, kdo to je, a otevřel mi oči, “řekl uzdravený.
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
„Bůh by jistě nevyslyšel prosbu zlého člověka! Slyší jen toho, kdo ho poslouchá a ctí.
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Ještě jsem neslyšel, že by někdo uzdravil slepého od narození. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Proto si myslím, že by Ježíš nedokázal něco podobného, kdyby ho neposlal Bůh.“
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
„Ty mrzáku, ty nás budeš poučovat?“křičeli na něho farizejové a vyhodili ho.
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
Když se Ježíš dověděl, co se mu přihodilo, vyhledal ho a zeptal se: „Věříš v Božího Syna?“
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Uzdravený odpověděl: „Rád bych v něho věřil, ale neznám ho.“
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Ježíš řekl: „Vidíš ho a právě s tebou mluví.“
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
„Věřím, Pane!“vydechl a padl před Ježíšem na kolena.
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
Ježíš dodal: „Přišel jsem na svět proto, abych uvedl věci na pravou míru: slepí prohlédnou a ti, kdo vidí, oslepnou.“
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
Zaslechli to někteří farizejové a zeptali se: „Jsme my ti slepí?“
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
„Kdybyste byli opravdu slepí, byla by to polehčující okolnost pro váš hřích, “odpověděl jim Ježíš. „Vaše vina však zůstává, protože říkáte, že vidíte, a to znamená, že víte, co děláte.“
