Luke 7
1 After Jesus finished saying this to the people, he went [with his disciples] to Capernaum [town].
După ce a terminat de vorbit în auzul poporului, a intrat în Capernaum.
2 There was a Roman army officer there who had a slave whom he thought highly of. This slave was so sick that he was about to die.
Un slujitor al unui centurion, care îi era foarte drag, era bolnav și era la un pas de moarte.
3 When the officer heard about Jesus, he [summoned] some Jewish elders. He told them to go to Jesus and ask him to come and heal his slave.
Când a auzit despre Isus, a trimis la el pe bătrânii iudeilor, rugându-l să vină și să-i salveze slujitorul.
4 When they came to where Jesus was, they earnestly asked Jesus [to return with them]. They said, “This officer deserves that you [(sg)] do this [for him],
Când au ajuns la Isus, l-au rugat insistent, spunând: “Este vrednic ca tu să faci asta pentru el,
5 because he loves us [Jewish] people, and he [paid the money to] build a synagogue for us.”
pentru că el iubește neamul nostru și a zidit sinagoga noastră pentru noi”.
6 So Jesus went with them. When he was near the [officer’s] house, the officer [decided that it was not necessary for Jesus to come to his house. So he] summoned some friends. He [told them to] go to Jesus and tell him this: “Lord/Sir, do not bother to come. [Because I am a non-Jew], I am not worthy for you [(sg)], [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me].
Isus a mers cu ei. Când nu mai era acum departe de casă, centurionul a trimis la el niște prieteni, spunându-i: “Doamne, nu te îngrijora, căci nu sunt vrednic să intri sub acoperișul meu.
7 I did not feel worthy to come to you, [either]. But [please] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will become well!
De aceea nici eu nu m-am considerat vrednic să vin la tine; dar spune cuvântul și robul meu va fi vindecat.
8 [I believe this] because, as for me, there are people who have authority over me [and I obey them]. I also have soldiers under my [authority]. When I say to one of them, ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Căci și eu sunt un om pus sub autoritate, având sub mine soldați. Îi spun acestuia: “Du-te!” și el se duce; altuia: “Vino!” și vine; iar robului meu: “Fă aceasta” și el o face”.”
9 When [the officer’s friends arrived and] told that to Jesus, he marveled at what [the officer had said]. Then he turned and said to the crowd that was going with him, “I tell you, I have never before found anyone who trusted [in me like this non-Jewish man does]. No one from Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], has trusted in me like he has!”
Isus, auzind acestea, s-a mirat de el și, întorcându-se, a zis mulțimii care-L urma: “Vă spun că n-am găsit o credință atât de mare, nici în Israel.”
10 When those men returned to the officer’s house, they found that the slave was well.
Cei care fuseseră trimiși, întorcându-se la casă, au constatat că servitorul care fusese bolnav era sănătos.
11 Soon after that, Jesus went to a town called Nain. His disciples and a large crowd [of other people] went with him.
Curând după aceea, s-a dus într-o cetate numită Nain. Mulți dintre discipolii Săi, împreună cu o mare mulțime, au mers cu El.
12 As they approached the town gate, the corpse of a young man who had just died was being carried out [on a stretcher] {[people] were carrying out [on a stretcher] the corpse of a young man who had just died}. His mother was a widow, and he was her only son. A large group of people from the town were accompanying them.
Când s-a apropiat de poarta cetății, iată că a fost dus afară un mort, singurul fiu născut al mamei sale, care era văduvă. Mulți oameni din cetate erau cu ea.
13 When the Lord saw her, he pitied her. He said to her, “Do not cry!”
Domnul, când a văzut-o, i s-a făcut milă de ea și i-a zis: “Nu plânge!”
14 Then, [ignoring the Jewish laws about not coming near a corpse], he came close and touched the stretcher [on which the body was lying]. So the men carrying it stood still. He said, “Young man, I say to you, get up!”
S-a apropiat și s-a atins de sicriu, iar purtătorii s-au oprit. El a spus: “Tinere, îți spun: ridică-te!”.
15 The man sat up and began to talk! Jesus returned him to his mother [to care for her].
Cel care era mort s-a așezat și a început să vorbească. Apoi l-a dat mamei sale.
16 Then everyone [there] was amazed/awestruck. They praised God, saying, “A great prophet has come among us!” They also said, “God has come to help his people!”
Toți s-au temut și au slăvit pe Dumnezeu, zicând: “Un mare prooroc s-a ridicat printre noi!” și: “Dumnezeu a vizitat pe poporul Său!”.
17 [Then they] reported what Jesus [had done] throughout all of Judea [district] and other nearby areas.
Această veste s-a răspândit despre el în toată Iudeea și în toată regiunea înconjurătoare.
18 The disciples of John [the Baptizer went to the prison where John was and] told him about those things.
Ucenicii lui Ioan i-au povestit toate acestea.
19 So [one day] John summoned two [of his disciples] and [told them] to go to the Lord and ask him: “Are you [the Messiah who the prophets prophesied would come], or is it someone else that we should expect [to come]?”
Ioan, chemând la el doi dintre ucenicii săi, i-a trimis la Isus, zicând: “Tu ești Cel ce vine, sau trebuie să căutăm pe altul?”
20 When those two men came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptizer sent us to ask you [(sg)] this: Are you [the Messiah that] we are expecting [God] to send, or shall we [(exc)] expect someone else?”
După ce au venit la el, au spus: “Ioan Botezătorul ne-a trimis la tine, spunând: “Tu ești cel care vine, sau trebuie să căutăm pe altul?””
21 At that very time Jesus was healing many people of their diseases and [other] sicknesses, he was [casting out] evil spirits, and he was causing many blind people to be able to see.
În ceasul acela a vindecat pe mulți de boli, de molime și de duhuri rele, și multora dintre cei orbi le-a dat vederea.
22 So he answered those two men, “Go back and report to John what you have seen [me doing] and what you have heard [me telling people. I am enabling] blind people to see. [I am enabling] lame people to walk. [I am] healing people who have leprosy. [I am enabling] deaf people to hear. [I am causing] dead people to become alive again, [and I am] telling [God’s] good message to poor people.
Isus le-a răspuns: “Duceți-vă și spuneți lui Ioan lucrurile pe care le-ați văzut și le-ați auzit: că orbii își primesc vederea, șchiopii umblă, leproșii sunt curățiți, surzii aud, morții înviază și săracilor li se vestește o veste bună.
23 [Also tell John that God] is pleased with those who do not stop believing in me [because what I do is not what they expect the Messiah to do].”
Ferice de cel care nu găsește în mine nici un prilej de poticnire.”
24 When the men whom John had sent left, Jesus began to talk to the crowd of people about John. He said to them, “[Think about] what sort of person you went to see in the desolate area [when you went there to see John] [RHQ]. [You did not go there to listen to a man who constantly changed the nature of his message] [MET], [like] a reed that is blown back and forth by the wind [RHQ].
După ce au plecat trimișii lui Ioan, a început să spună mulțimii despre Ioan: “Ce ați ieșit în pustie ca să vedeți? O trestie scuturată de vânt?
25 Then what kind of man did you go there to see [RHQ]? Was he [RHQ] a man who wore expensive clothes? No! [You know very well that] people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are in kings’ palaces, [not in the desolate areas]!
Dar voi ce ați ieșit să vedeți? Un om îmbrăcat în haine moi? Iată, cei care sunt îmbrăcați frumos și trăiesc delicat sunt la curțile regilor.
26 Then what [kind of person] did you go to see? [Did you] [RHQ] [go there to see John because he was] a prophet? Yes! But I will tell you that [John is] more [important] than an [ordinary] prophet.
Dar tu ce ai ieșit să vezi? Un profet? Da, vă spun, și chiar mai mult decât un profet.
27 He is the one about whom [these words] that God said to the Messiah have been written {[the prophet Malachi] wrote [these words]} [in the Scriptures]: ‘Listen! I am going to send my messenger ahead of you [(sg)] [SYN]. He will prepare [people] for your coming.’
Acesta este cel despre care este scris, “Iată, trimit pe mesagerul Meu înaintea feței tale, care îți va pregăti calea înaintea ta.
28 I tell you that from among all the people who have ever lived, [God considers that] no one is greater than John. However, [God considers] everyone who has let God rule their [lives] [MET] to be greater than [John], [even if they are] insignificant [people].”
“Căci vă spun că, dintre cei născuți din femei, nu este un prooroc mai mare decât Ioan Botezătorul; dar cel mai mic în Împărăția lui Dumnezeu este mai mare decât el.”
29 When they heard [what Jesus said] (OR, [what John preached]), all the people, including tax collectors, [whom many people despised], agreed that God’s way was right. By being baptized by John {By [letting] John baptize them}, [they had agreed that what God required people to do in order to be saved was right].
Când a auzit aceasta, tot poporul și vameșii au declarat că Dumnezeu este drept, după ce a fost botezat cu botezul lui Ioan.
30 But the Pharisees and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws were not baptized by John {did not [let] John baptize them} because they rejected what God wanted them to do.
Dar fariseii și avocații au respins sfatul lui Dumnezeu, nefiind ei înșiși botezați de el.
31 [Then Jesus also said], “[Many of] you people have heard what [John and I] have taught. (I will illustrate what you are like./Do you know what [many of] you people who have heard what [John and I] have taught are like?) [RHQ]
Cu ce aș putea să compar pe oamenii acestui neam? Cu ce se aseamănă ei?
32 You are like children who are [playing games] in an open area. [Some of them] are calling to [the others], saying, ‘We [(exc)] played happy music for you on the flute, but you did not dance! Then we sang sad funeral songs for you, but you did not cry!’
Sunt ca niște copii care stau în piață și se strigă unii pe alții, zicând: “Noi v-am cântat la cimpoi, și voi n-ați dansat”. Noi am jelit, iar voi nu ați plâns'.
33 [Similarly, you people are dissatisfied with both John the Baptizer and me]! When John came and [preached to you], he did not eat [ordinary] food [SYN] or drink wine, [like most people do]. But you [rejected him], saying, ‘A demon is controlling him!’
Căci Ioan Botezătorul n-a venit nici mâncând pâine, nici bând vin, iar voi spuneți: 'Are un demon'.
34 In [contrast], [I], the one who came from heaven, eat [the same food] and drink [wine as others do]. But you [reject me], saying, ‘Look! [This man] eats too much food and drinks too much wine, and he associates with tax collectors and [other] sinners!’
Fiul Omului a venit mâncând și bând și voi ziceți: 'Iată un mâncăcios și un bețiv, un prieten al vameșilor și al păcătoșilor!'.
35 But those who are [truly God’s] children [PRS] realize that [what John and I do is truly] wise.”
Înțelepciunea este îndreptățită de toți copiii ei.”
36 [One day] one of the Pharisees [named Simon] invited Jesus to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to the man’s house and reclined [to eat].
Unul dintre farisei l-a invitat să mănânce cu el. El a intrat în casa fariseului și s-a așezat la masă.
37 There was a woman in that city [who many people knew had been] a prostitute [EUP]. She heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house. So she went there, taking a stone jar that contained perfume.
Iată că o femeie din cetate, care era păcătoasă, când a aflat că el se odihnește în casa fariseului, a adus un vas de alabastru cu unguent.
38 [As the people there were reclining to eat], the woman stood behind [Jesus, at his] feet. As she was crying [because she was sorry for her sins, her tears fell on Jesus’ feet]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the perfume.
Stând în spate la picioarele lui, plângând, a început să îi ude picioarele cu lacrimile ei, le-a șters cu părul capului, i-a sărutat picioarele și le-a uns cu mirul.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited [Jesus] saw that, he thought, “[Prophets know about other people’s lives], [so] if Jesus were a prophet, he would have known who this woman is who is touching him, and what kind of a person she is. He would have known that she is a prostitute! [EUP]”
Fariseul care îl invitase, văzând aceasta, și-a zis în sinea lui: “Omul acesta, dacă ar fi fost profet, și-ar fi dat seama cine și ce fel de femeie este cea care îl atinge, că este o păcătoasă.”
40 Jesus said to him, “Simon, there is something I want to tell you [(sg)].” He replied, “Teacher, what is it?”
Isus i-a răspuns: “Simon, am să-ți spun ceva.” El a spus: “Învățătorule, spune mai departe”.
41 Jesus replied, “Two people owed some money to a man who [earned money by] lending [it to others]. One owed him 500 silver coins, and the other owed him 50 silver coins.
“Un creditor avea doi datornici. Unul datora cinci sute de denari, iar celălalt cincizeci.
42 Neither of them was able to pay back [what he owed], so the man [very kindly] said that they did not have to pay back anything. So, which of those two men will love that man more?”
Când n-au putut plăti, i-a iertat pe amândoi. Așadar, care dintre ei îl va iubi mai mult?”
43 Simon replied, “I think that the one who owed the most money and did not have to pay it back [will love him more].” Jesus said to him, “That is correct.”
Simon a răspuns: “Cred că pe acela pe care l-a iertat cel mai mult.” El i-a spus: “Ai judecat corect”.
44 Then he turned toward the woman, and said to Simon, “(Think about [what] this woman [has done]!/Do you [(sg)] see [what] this woman [has done]?) [RHQ] When I entered your house, you [did not follow our custom of welcoming guests by] giving me any water [to wash] my feet, but this woman has wet my feet with her tears and then wiped them with her hair!
Și, întorcându-se spre femeie, i-a zis lui Simon: “Vezi tu pe femeia aceasta? Am intrat în casa ta și nu mi-ai dat apă pentru picioarele mele, dar ea mi-a udat picioarele cu lacrimile ei și le-a șters cu părul capului ei.
45 You did not [follow our custom of greeting by] kissing me, but since I came in, this woman has not stopped kissing my feet!
Tu nu mi-ai dat nici o sărutare, dar ea, de când am intrat, nu încetează să-mi sărute picioarele.
46 You did not [follow our custom of welcoming guests by] anointing my head with [olive] oil, but she has anointed my feet with fragrant perfume.
Tu nu mi-ai uns capul cu untdelemn, dar ea mi-a uns picioarele cu mir.
47 So I will tell you that even though this woman has sinned very much, she has been forgiven {[I] have forgiven her}. [By what she has done she has shown that] she loves [me] very much. But a person who has [sinned] just a little bit, but whom [I] have forgiven, will love [me just a little bit].”
De aceea vă spun că păcatele ei, care sunt multe, sunt iertate, pentru că a iubit mult. Dar cel căruia i se iartă puțin, iubește puțin.”
48 Then he said to the woman, “You have been forgiven {[I have] forgiven [you]} [for] your sins.”
El i-a zis: “Păcatele tale sunt iertate”.
49 Then those who were eating with him said among themselves, “(This man must [think that he is God]!/Who does this man [think that he] is [RHQ]), saying that he can forgive [people for] their sins?”
Și cei ce ședeau la masă cu El au început să se întrebe: “Cine este Acesta, care chiar iartă păcatele?”
50 But Jesus said to the woman, “Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me, God] has saved you [from the guilt of your sins]. May [God] give you inner peace as you go!”
El a zis femeii: “Credința ta te-a mântuit. Du-te în pace.”
