Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Pewnego dnia Jezus przywołał dwunastu uczniów i dał im władzę uwalniania ludzi od złych duchów i uzdrawiania wszelkich chorób i dolegliwości.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Byli to: Szymon (zwany też Piotrem) i Andrzej—jego brat, Jakub i Jan—synowie Zebedeusza,
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Filip, Bartłomiej, Tomasz, Mateusz (poborca podatkowy), Jakub—syn Alfeusza, Tadeusz,
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Szymon Gorliwy i Judasz z Kariotu—ten, który później wydał Jezusa.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Tych dwunastu uczniów Jezus posłał, dając im następujące wskazówki: —Nie chodźcie do pogan ani do miast Samarii.
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
Idźcie jedynie do Izraelitów, którzy jak zagubione owce odeszli od Boga.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Mówcie im: „Nadchodzi królestwo niebieskie!”.
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Uzdrawiajcie chorych, wskrzeszajcie zmarłych, leczcie trędowatych i uwalniajcie od demonów. Róbcie to za darmo, bo za darmo to otrzymaliście!
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Nie bierzcie ze sobą pieniędzy,
torby z zapasową odzieżą i obuwiem ani laski podróżnej. Ten bowiem, kto pracuje, powinien otrzymać to, co mu się należy.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Wchodząc do jakiegoś miasta lub wsi, dowiedzcie się, kto tam jest godnym człowiekiem. Pozostańcie u niego aż do opuszczenia tej miejscowości.
Wchodząc do jego domu, pozdrówcie tych, którzy w nim mieszkają.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Jeśli to pobożni ludzie, Bóg obdarzy ich pokojem. Jeśli nie—pokój pozostanie z wami.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Jeśli nie zostaniecie przyjęci i nie będą chcieli was słuchać, odchodząc z tego domu i miasta, strząśnijcie z nóg nawet tamtejszy kurz.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Zapewniam was: W dniu sądu złym mieszkańcom Sodomy i Gomory lżej będzie niż temu miastu.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Posyłam was jak owce między wilki. Bądźcie więc sprytni jak węże, ale nieskazitelni jak gołębie.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Uważajcie na siebie! Postawią was przed sądami, będą was biczować w synagogach
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
oraz oskarżać przed władzami za to, że Mnie naśladujecie. Będzie to dla was okazja do przedstawienia im dobrej nowiny. W ten sposób dotrze ona do wielu narodów.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Nie martwcie się jednak, co i jak macie mówić. We właściwym czasie otrzymacie stosowne słowa.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Bo to nie wy będziecie mówić, lecz Duch waszego Ojca będzie mówił przez was!
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Bracia będą wzajemnie się wydawać na śmierć, ojcowie zdradzą własne dzieci, a dzieci—rodziców.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Wszyscy was znienawidzą za to, że należycie do Mnie. Ale ci, którzy wytrwają do końca i nie zaprą się Mnie, zostaną uratowani!
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Gdy spotka was prześladowanie w jednym mieście, uciekajcie do drugiego! Zapewniam was: Nie zdążycie obejść wszystkich miast Izraela, a Ja, Syn Człowieczy powrócę.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Uczeń nie przewyższa nauczyciela, a sługa—swego pana.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Wystarczy, że będą jak ich nauczyciel lub pan. Skoro Mnie, pana domu, nazwano Belzebubem, władcą demonów, to tym bardziej spotka to domowników.
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Ale nie bójcie się ich! Nie ma bowiem niczego ukrytego, co by ostatecznie nie wyszło na jaw.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
To, co teraz mówię wam pod osłoną nocy, rozpowiadajcie z nastaniem dnia. To, co słyszycie na ucho, rozgłaszajcie publicznie!
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Nie bójcie się tych, którzy uśmiercają ciało, lecz nie mogą zabić duszy! Lękajcie się Boga, który i duszę, i ciało może zatracić w piekle. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Ile kosztuje para wróbli? Można ją kupić już za kilka drobnych monet. A jednak żaden z nich nie spadnie na ziemię bez wiedzy waszego Ojca w niebie.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Przecież On wie nawet ile macie włosów na głowie!
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Nie bójcie się więc! Jesteście dla Niego cenniejsi niż całe stado wróbli!
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Jeśli więc jakiś człowiek wyzna przed innymi ludźmi, że należy do Mnie, to i Ja przyznam się do Niego przed moim Ojcem w niebie.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Lecz jeśli ktoś wyprze się Mnie wobec ludzi, i Ja się go wyprę przed moim Ojcem w niebie.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Nie myślcie, że przyszedłem przynieść na ziemię pokój! Wręcz przeciwnie—miecz podziału!
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Przyszedłem poróżnić syna z ojcem, córkę—z matką, a synową—z teściową.
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
Nawet najbliżsi staną się wrogami!
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Kto kocha ojca lub matkę bardziej niż Mnie, nie jesteś Mnie godny. I kto kocha syna lub córkę bardziej niż Mnie, nie jest Mnie godny.
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
Kto nie bierze swojego krzyża i nie idzie ze Mną, nie jest Mnie godny.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Kto zabiega o swoje życie, utraci je. Lecz ten, kto poświęci życie dla Mnie, odnajdzie je.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Kto was przyjmuje, Mnie przyjmuje. A kto Mnie przyjmuje, przyjmuje Ojca, który Mnie posłał.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Kto przyjmuje proroka—dlatego, że jest on prorokiem—otrzyma nagrodę należną prorokowi. Kto przyjmuje prawego człowieka—dlatego, że jest on prawy—otrzyma nagrodę należną prawemu człowiekowi.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Nawet jeśli ktoś poda kubek wody najmniejszemu z moich uczniów—właśnie dlatego, że jest on moim uczniem—zapewniam was: nie ominie go nagroda!
