Luke 3
1 When the Emperor Tiberius had been ruling [the Roman Empire] for 15 years, and while Pontius Pilate was the governor of Judea [district], and Herod [Antipas] was ruling Galilee [district], and his brother Philip was ruling Iturea and Trachonitis [districts], and Lysanius was ruling Abilene [district],
Léta pak patnáctého císařství Tiberia císaře, když Pontský Pilát spravoval Judstvo, a Herodes byl čtvrtákem v Galilei, Filip pak bratr jeho byl čtvrtákem Iturejské a Trachonitidské krajiny, a Lyzaniáš čtvrtákem Abilinským,
2 and while Annas and Caiaphas were the high priests [in Jerusalem], God gave messages to Zechariah’s son John while he was living in the desolate region.
Za nejvyššího kněze Annáše a Kaifáše, stalo se slovo Páně nad Janem synem Zachariášovým na poušti.
3 [So] John went all over the area close to the Jordan [River]. He kept telling people, “If you want [God] to forgive you for your sins, you must (repent/turn away from your sinful behavior) [before you ask me] to baptize [you]!”
I chodil po vší krajině ležící při Jordánu a kázal křest pokání na odpuštění hříchů,
4 John was the one who [fulfilled] these words that had [been written] by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had written} on a scroll [long ago]: In a desolate area, someone [SYN] will be heard shouting [to the people who pass by], “Prepare yourselves [to receive] the Lord when he comes! [Make yourselves ready so that you will be prepared when he comes], [just like people] straighten out the road [MET] [for an important official] [MET, DOU]!
Jakož psáno jest v knihách proroctví Izaiáše proroka, řkoucího: Hlas volajícího na poušti: Připravujte cestu Páně, přímé čiňte stezky jeho.
5 [Just like people] level off all the places where the land rises and [just like they] fill all the ravines, and [just like people] make the road straight wherever it is crooked, and [just like people] make smooth the bumps in the road, [similarly you need to remove all the obstacles which prevent God from blessing you]!
Každé údolí bude vyplněno, a každá hora a pahrbek bude ponížen; i budou křivé věci spraveny a ostré cesty budou hladké.
6 Then people [SYN] everywhere will understand how God can save [MTY] [people].”
A uzříť všeliké tělo spasení Boží.
7 Although large groups of people came to John to be baptized {in order that he would baptize them}, [he knew that many of them were not sincere]. So he kept saying to them, “You [people are evil] [MET] [like] poisonous snakes! [I] warn you that [God] will some day punish [MTY] [everyone] who sins. And (do not think that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior!/did someone tell you] that you can escape [from his punishing] [MTY] [you if you do not turn from your sinful behavior]?) [RHQ] (OR, Who told you that you could escape [God’s punishment?])
Pravil pak k zástupům vycházejícím, aby se křtili od něho: Plemeno ještěrčí, kdo je vám ukázal, abyste utekli před budoucím hněvem?
8 Do what is appropriate for people who have truly turned from their sinful behavior! [God promised to give Abraham many] descendants. In order to fulfill that promise, God does not need you! I tell you that he can change these stones to make them descendants of Abraham! So do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We [(exc)] are descendants of Abraham, [so God will not punish us, even though we have] sinned!’
Protož čiňte ovoce hodné pokání, a neříkejtež u sebe: Otce máme Abrahama. Neboť pravím vám, žeť jest mocen Bůh z kamení tohoto vzbuditi syny Abrahamovi.
9 [God is ready to punish you if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior, just like a man] [MET] lays his axe at the roots [of a fruit] tree [to chop it down and throw it into the fire if it does not produce good fruit] [MET].”
A jižť jest i sekera k kořenu stromů přiložena. Protož každý strom, jenž nenese ovoce dobrého, vyťat a na oheň uvržen bude.
10 [Then] various ones in the crowd asked John, “What shall we [(exc)] do [to escape God punishing us] (OR), [to show that we have repented]?”
I tázali se ho zástupové, řkouce: Což tedy činiti budeme?
11 He answered them, “If any of you has two shirts, you should give one of them to someone who has no shirt. If any of you has [plenty of] food, you should give some to those who have no food.”
A on odpovídaje, pravil jim: Kdo má dvě sukně, dej jednu nemajícímu, a kdo má pokrmy, tolikéž učiň.
12 [Some] tax collectors came [and asked] to be baptized ([asked him] to baptize them}. They asked him, “Teacher, what shall we [(exc)] do [to please God]?”
Přišli pak i celní křtíti se, i řekli jemu: Mistře, co budeme činiti?
13 He said to them, “Do not take from the people any more money than [the Roman government] tells you to take!”
A on řekl k nim: Nic více nevybírejte než to, což jest ustaveno.
14 Some soldiers asked him, “What about us? What should we [(exc)] do [to please God]?” He said to them, “Do not [say to anyone], ‘[If you(sg) do not give me] some money, I will hurt you,’ and do not take [people to court and] falsely accuse them of doing something wrong! And be content with your wages.”
I tázali se ho také i žoldnéři, řkouce: A my což činiti budeme? I řekl jim: Nižádného neutiskujte, ani podvodně čiňte, a dosti mějte na svých žoldích.
15 People were expecting [that the Messiah would come soon]. Because of that, many of them wondered about John. [Some of them asked him] if he was the Messiah.
A když pak lid očekával, a myslili všickni v srdcích svých o Janovi, nebyl-li by snad on Kristus,
16 John replied to them all, “No, [I am not]. I used [only] water when I baptized you. But [the Messiah] will soon come! He is far greater than I am. [He is so great that] I am not worthy to [be like his slave and] untie his sandals [MET] [like] a slave would do! He will put [his] Holy Spirit within [MTY] you [to truly change your lives], and [he will judge others of you and punish you in] the fire [MET] [in hell]. (questioned)
Odpověděl Jan všechněm, a řka: Jáť zajisté křtím vás vodou, ale jdeť silnější nežli já, kteréhožto nejsem hoden rozvázati řeménka u obuvi jeho. Tenť vás křtíti bude Duchem svatým a ohněm.
17 He [is like a man] [MET] [who wants to] clear away the grain on the ground where it has been threshed {they have threshed it}. That man [uses] a huge fork [to throw the grain into the air] to separate the wheat from the chaff [MET], and then he cleans up the threshing area. [Similarly, God] will [separate righteous people from the evil people, like a man who] gathers the wheat into his storage area, and then he will burn [those who are like] chaff with a fire (that will never be put out/that will burn forever).”
Jehožto věječka v ruce jeho, a vyčistíť humno své, a shromáždí pšenici do obilnice své, ale plevy páliti bude ohněm neuhasitelným.
18 John kept telling people many things to urge them [to turn to God], as he told them the good message [from God].
A tak mnohé jiné věci, napomínaje, zvěstoval lidu.
19 He also rebuked [the ruler of the district], Herod [Antipas. He rebuked him] for [marrying] Herodias, his brother’s wife, [while his brother was still alive], and for doing many other evil things.
Herodes pak čtvrták, když od něho byl trestán pro Herodiadu manželku Filipa bratra svého, i ze všech zlých věcí, kteréž činil Herodes,
20 But Herod [had his soldiers] put John in prison. That was another evil thing he did.
Přidal i toto nade všecko, že jest vsadil Jana do žaláře.
21 [But before John was put in prison], when many people were being baptized {when he was baptizing many people}, after Jesus was baptized {he baptized Jesus} and Jesus was praying, the sky opened.
I stalo se, když se křtil všecken lid, a když se pokřtil i Ježíš, a modlil se, že otevřelo se nebe,
22 Then the Holy Spirit, resembling a dove, descended upon [Jesus]. And [God] [SYN/EUP] spoke to Jesus from heaven, saying, “You [(sg)] are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you!”
A sstoupil Duch svatý v tělesné způsobě jako holubice na něj, a stal se hlas s nebe, řkoucí: Ty jsi Syn můj milý, v toběť mi se zalíbilo.
