Matthew 18
1 About that time we disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who [among us will be] the most important when God [MTY/EUP] [makes you] king?”
Tehdy Ježíše obstoupili jeho učedníci a ptali se ho: „Kdo z lidí je v nebeském království nejpřednější?“
2 Jesus called a child to come, and he placed that child in our midst.
Zavolal malé dítě, postavil je mezi ně
3 He said, “Think about this: If you [(pl)] do not change [the way you(pl) think] and become [as humble] as little children, you [(pl)] will surely not go to the place where God [MTY/EUP] rules.
a řekl: „Dobře mne poslouchejte: Půjde-li vám o přední místa, do Božího království se vůbec nedostanete.
4 The people who become as humble as this child [or any child] is, will be the most important people among those over whom God rules.
Ujišťuji vás, že jen s pokornou myslí dítěte tam můžete vejít a něco znamenat.
5 Also, when those who, [because they love] me, welcome [a] child like this one, [God considers] that they are welcoming me.”
Kdo si umí vážit takového nepatrného člověka, prokazuje tím úctu mně.
6 “If you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [even if it is someone who is socially unimportant like] this little child, [God will severely punish you]. If a heavy stone were fastened around your neck and you were thrown into the deep waters of the sea, [people would consider that you had been severely punished. But God will punish] you more severely [than that if you cause someone to sin]
Na kom by ztroskotala víra jednoho z těchto maličkých ve mne, tomu by bylo lépe, kdyby ho hodili do moře s mlýnským kamenem na krku.
7 It will be terrible for those [MTY] who cause others to stop believing in me. [God will punish them eternally]. It is inevitable that there will be [those who] cause others to stop believing in me. But it will be horrible for everyone who does that.
Běda světu, že se tu dějí věci, pro které člověk ztrácí víru. Pokušení jsou sice nevyhnutelná, ale běda tomu, kdo je působí. Neváhej odložit všechno, co tě odvádí od Boha.
8 So, if you [are wanting to use] one of your hands or feet to sin, [stop using that hand or foot! Even if you have to] cut it off [to avoid sinning, do it] [MET]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you are maimed or lame and do not have a hand or a foot. But it is not good that you continue to have your two hands and two feet [and do] [MTY] [the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown into [hell], where there is eternal fire burning. (aiōnios g166, questioned)
I kdyby to měla být tvá ruka nebo noha, raději ji utni a zahoď. Lépe je vkulhat do Božího království než skočit oběma nohama do záhuby. (aiōnios g166)
9 If what you see you [makes you want] to sin, [stop looking at those things! Even if you have to] gouge out one of your eyes and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good [that you not sin and] go where you will live [with God eternally, even though while you are still here on earth] you have only one eye. But it is not good that you continue to have your two eyes [and do the sinful things you want to, and as a result], you are thrown {God throws you} into hell where there is eternal fire burning.” (Geenna g1067)
A kdyby tě tvé oko svádělo ke zlému, zbav se ho! Je lepší získat věčný život jednooký než přijít s oběma očima do věčného zatracení. (Geenna g1067)
10 “Make an effort that you [(pl)] do not despise [even] one of these children. I tell you [(pl)] truly that [since] the angels [live] in heaven [in the presence of] my Father, [they will report to him if you mistreat the children].
Dejte pozor, abyste nepohrdli ani tím nejprostším člověkem. Věřte tomu, každý z nich má anděla, který ho stále zastupuje před Bohem.
Přišel jsem zachránit ztracené.
12 What do you [(pl)] think [you would do in the following situation]? If you had 100 sheep and one of them got lost, you would surely leave the 99 sheep [that are] on the hill and go and search for the lost one [RHQ], would you not?
Když má někdo sto ovcí a jedna z nich se ztratí, co myslíte, že takový člověk udělá? Nenechá těch devadesát devět na pastvině a nepůjde hledat tu ztracenou?
13 If you found it, I affirm to you [(pl)] that you would rejoice very much. You would be happy that 99 sheep did not stray away, but you would rejoice even more [because you had found] the sheep that had strayed away.
A když ji najde, má z ní větší radost než z těch devadesáti devíti, které mu zůstaly.
14 In the same way [that shepherds do not want one of] their [sheep to stray away], so [God], your Father in heaven, does not want [even] one of these children to go to hell.” (questioned)
A právě tak můj Otec nechce, aby sebenepatrnější člověk zahynul.
15 “If a fellow believer sins [against you], go [to him], and when you two are alone, reprove him [for sinning against you]. If that person listens to you [and feels sorry that he has sinned against you], you will have restored [your friendship with] that person.
Proviní-li se proti tobě někdo z věřících, vyhledej ho a promluv si s ním mezi čtyřma očima. Přizná-li svoji chybu, udělal sis z nepřítele znovu bratra.
16 If that person will not listen to you [nor feel sorry that he has sinned against you], go get one or two other people [who will listen to what you both have to say]. Have them go with you so that [what is written] {[Moses wrote]} [in the Scriptures might happen: ] ‘[When one person accuses another in some matter], it should be confirmed by [at least] two or three people {[at least] two or three people should confirm it} [before that person can be declared] guilty {[before they declare that person guilty]}.’
Bude-li neústupný, přizvi ještě jednoho nebo dva z věřících, aby byli svědky rozhovoru.
17 If the one who has sinned against you will not listen to them [or does not feel sorry that he has sinned against you], tell that to the congregation [so that they can rebuke him]. If that person will not listen to the congregation [or feel sorry that he has sinned against you, exclude him from being a member of your congregation, just like] you [would exclude] pagans, tax collectors, [and others who do not believe in God and sin greatly].
Když si ani tak nedá říci, pověz to shromáždění věřících. Když neuposlechne ani je, ať je vyloučen.
18 Keep this in mind: Whatever you decide on earth [about punishing] or [not punishing a member of your congregation] is what has also been decided by [God] in heaven {what [God] in heaven has also decided}.
Mějte přitom na mysli, že co rozhodnete zde na zemi, bude platit i v nebi.
19 Also note this: If [at least] two of you [who live] here on earth agree together about something you ask [God] for [DOU], [God], my Father [who is] in heaven, will give you what you ask for.
A také platí: spojí-li se dva z vás k modlitbám za jakoukoliv záležitost, nebeský Otec je vyslyší.
20 [This is true], because wherever [at least] two or three of you assemble because you believe in me [MTY], I am [spiritually] present with you. I [will hear what you ask for and I will ask God to do it for you].”
Tam, kde se už dva nebo tři sejdou, aby jednali podle mé vůle, tam jsem já s nimi.“
21 Then Peter approached [Jesus] and said to him, “How many times must I forgive a fellow believer who [keeps on] sinning against me? [If he keeps asking me to forgive him, must I forgive him] as many as seven times?”
Potom mu Petr položil otázku: „Pane, když se proti mně můj bližní opakovaně prohřešuje, kolikrát mu mám odpustit? Sedmkrát?“
22 Jesus said to him, “I tell you [that the number of] times [you must forgive someone is] not just up to seven, but [you must] ([forgive him] 77 times/never stop forgiving him).
Ježíš mu odpověděl: „Ne sedmkrát, ale až sedmdesátkrát sedmkrát.
23 [In order to illustrate] why [you should do this], I [will tell you a story in which] God [MTY/EUP], [who cares for] the people whose lives he rules over, is compared {I compare God, [who cares for] the people whose lives he rules over} to a king [and his officials]. That king told [some of his servants that he wanted] his officials to pay what they owed him.
Pán Bůh s námi jedná jako král, který se rozhodl provést vyúčtování se svými podřízenými.
24 [So those officials were brought to the king to] settle [their accounts with him]. [One of the officials who were brought] owed the king several million dollars.
Mezi prvními mu přivedli jednoho, který měl u něj miliónový dluh.
25 But because he did not have [enough money] to pay [what he owed], the king demanded that he, his wife, his children and all he possessed be sold [to someone else, and that the king] be repaid [with] {receive} [the money that was paid for them].
Ten muž však neměl na zaplacení. Král tedy nařídil, aby ho s celou rodinou prodali do otroctví, rozprodali jeho majetek, a tak uhradili dluh.
26 Then that official, [knowing that he did not have the money to pay that huge debt], fell on his knees [in front of the king] and begged him saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you all of it, [eventually].’
On však před králem padl na kolena a prosil ho: ‚Pane, měj se mnou trpělivost a já všechno zaplatím!‘
27 The king, [knowing that the official could never pay all that huge debt], felt sorry for him. So he canceled his debt and released him.
Králi bylo líto toho člověka, propustil ho a dokonce mu celý dluh odpustil.
28 Then this official went to another one of the king’s officials who owed him a bit less than a year’s wages. He grabbed him [by the throat], started choking him, and said to him, ‘Pay back what you owe [me]!’
Sotva však ten muž vyšel od krále, potkal člověka, který mu dlužil nepatrnou částku. Popadl ho a křičel: ‚Hned mi vrať, co jsi dlužen!‘
29 That official fell on his knees and begged him saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you all of it, [eventually].’
Ten chudák si před něj klekl a zoufale ho prosil: ‚Měj strpení a já ti zaplatím!‘
30 But this official kept refusing [to cancel that small debt that the man owed him]. Instead, he [caused that official to be] put in prison [and to stay there] until he could pay back all the money that he owed him.
Ale věřitel stál na svém a dal ho zavřít do vězení, dokud dluh nezaplatí.
31 When the other officials [of the king] learned that this had happened, they felt very distressed. So they went to the king and reported in detail what had happened.
Svědky té události to pobouřilo a šli to oznámit králi.
32 Then the king summoned the official [who had owed him several million dollars]. He said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I canceled that huge debt [that you owed me] because you begged me [to do so]
Ten si předvolal nemilosrdného věřitele a řekl mu: ‚Ty ničemo! Jak velký dluh jsem ti odpustil, když jsi mne prosil!
33 You should have been merciful [and canceled your fellow official’s debt], just like I was merciful to you [and canceled your debt] [RHQ]!’
A tys nemohl odpustit svému druhovi tak směšnou částku?‘
34 The king was very angry. He handed this official over to some jailers who would torture him severely until he paid all of the debt that he owed.”
A rozhněvaný král jej potom dal zavřít, dokud svůj dluh do posledního haléře nezaplatí.
35 [Then Jesus continued by saying], “That is what my Father in heaven will do to you if you do not [feel merciful and] sincerely forgive a fellow believer [who sins against you].”
Tak bude jednat můj nebeský Otec s vámi, jestliže nebudete ochotně odpouštět druhým.“
