Matthew 20
1 “[In order to illustrate how God rewards people], I will compare [the way] God [MTY/EUP] rules his people with what the owner of an estate [did]. Early in the morning the owner of the estate went to [the market] where [people who wanted work gathered]. He went there to hire laborers to work in his vineyard.
Królestwo niebieskie bowiem podobne jest do gospodarza, który wyszedł wczesnym rankiem, aby nająć robotników do swojej winnicy.
2 He promised the men whom he hired that he would pay them the standard wage [for working] one day. Then he sent them to his vineyards.
I umówił się z robotnikami na grosz za dzień i posłał ich do winnicy.
3 At nine o’clock [that same morning] he went back [to the market]. There he saw more men who did not have work.
A wyszedłszy około godziny trzeciej, zobaczył innych, którzy stali bezczynnie na rynku;
4 He said to them, ‘Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there]. I will pay you whatever is a just [wage].’ [So they also went to his vineyard and began to work].
I powiedział do nich: Idźcie i wy do winnicy, a co będzie słuszne, dam wam. I poszli.
5 At noon and at three o’clock he again went [to the market] and found [other laborers whom he promised to pay a fair wage].
Około godziny szóstej i dziewiątej wyszedł znowu i zrobił tak samo.
6 At five o’clock he went [to the market again] and saw other [men] standing [there who were not working]. He said to them, ‘Why are you standing here all day and not working?’
Potem wyszedł około godziny jedenastej i znalazł innych, którzy stali bez zajęcia, i zapytał ich: Dlaczego tu bezczynnie stoicie cały dzień?
7 They said to him, ‘Because no one has hired us.’ He said to them, ‘[I will hire you]. Go to my vineyard as other men have done, [and work there.’ So they went].
Odpowiedzieli mu: Bo nikt nas nie najął. I powiedział im: Idźcie i wy do winnicy, a co będzie słuszne, otrzymacie.
8 When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, ‘Tell the men to come so that you can give them their wages. First, pay the men who started working last, and pay the men last who started working first.’
A gdy nastał wieczór, pan winnicy powiedział do swego zarządcy: Zwołaj robotników i wypłać im należność, zaczynając od ostatnich aż do pierwszych.
9 The [manager] paid the standard daily wage to each of the men who did not start working until five o’clock [in the afternoon].
Kiedy przyszli ci, którzy [byli najęci] około godziny jedenastej, każdy z nich otrzymał po groszu.
10 When the men who had begun working early [in the morning] went [to get their wages], they thought that they would receive more than the standard wage. But they also received only the standard wage.
Gdy przyszli pierwsi, sądzili, że dostaną więcej, ale również każdy z nich otrzymał po groszu.
11 So they complained to the owner of the vineyard [because they thought their payment was unfair].
A otrzymawszy, szemrali przeciwko gospodarzowi;
12 They said [to him], ‘[You are not being fair!] The men who started working after [all of the rest of us started] worked for [only] one hour! You have [paid] them the same [wage] as [you paid] us! But we worked hard [all] day [IDM], [including working in the] hottest part of the day!’
Mówiąc: Ci ostatni jedną godzinę pracowali, a zrównałeś ich z nami, którzy znosiliśmy ciężar dnia i upał.
13 The owner of the vineyard said to one of those [who complained], ‘Friend, I did not treat you unfairly. You agreed with me [to work the whole day] for the standard wage [RHQ].
A on odpowiedział jednemu z nich: Przyjacielu, nie robię ci krzywdy. Czyż nie umówiłeś się ze mną na grosz?
14 [Stop complaining to me]! Take your wage and go! I desire to give the same wage that I gave you to the men who began working after all of you [had begun working].
Weź, co [jest] twoje, i odejdź. Chcę bowiem temu ostatniemu dać tyle, co tobie.
15 I certainly have a right to [spend my money] as I desire [RHQ], [including paying those laborers what I desire to pay them]. (You should not be envious about my being generous!/Are you angry [MET] because I am generous?) [RHQ]’”
Czyż z tym, co moje, nie wolno mi robić, co chcę? Czy twoje oko jest złe dlatego, że ja jestem dobry?
16 [Then Jesus said to us], “Similarly, [God will reward] well [some] people who [seem to be] less important now, and he will not reward [some] people who [seem to be] more important [now].”
Tak to ostatni będą pierwszymi, a pierwsi ostatnimi. Wielu bowiem jest wezwanych, ale mało wybranych.
17 When Jesus was walking [on the road] up to Jerusalem, [along with us] twelve [disciples], he took us to a place by ourselves [in order that he could talk to us privately]. Then he said to us,
A gdy Jezus szedł do Jerozolimy, w drodze wziął ze sobą na ubocze dwunastu uczniów i powiedział do nich:
18 “Listen carefully! We are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there, someone] will enable the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws to seize [me], the one who came from heaven, [and they will put me on trial]. They will condemn me [and say] that I should be killed {the authorities should kill me}.
Oto idziemy do Jerozolimy, a Syn Człowieczy zostanie wydany naczelnym kapłanom i uczonym w Piśmie, a oni skażą go na śmierć.
19 [Then they] will put me in the hands of non-Jews so that they can make fun of me, whip me, [and kill me by] nailing me to a cross. But on the third day [after that], [God] will cause me to live again.”
I wydadzą go poganom na pośmiewisko, ubiczowanie i ukrzyżowanie, ale trzeciego dnia zmartwychwstanie.
20 Then the mother of James and John brought her two sons to Jesus. She bowed down before Jesus and asked him to do her a favor.
Wtedy podeszła do niego matka synów Zebedeusza ze swoimi synami, oddając [mu] pokłon i prosząc go o coś.
21 Jesus said to her, “What do you want [me to do for you]?” She said to him, “Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you (OR, Permit these two sons of mine to sit next to you at your right side and at your left side) [and rule with you] [MTY] when you become king.”
A on ją zapytał: Czego chcesz? Odpowiedziała mu: Powiedz, aby ci dwaj moi synowie siedzieli jeden po twojej prawej, a drugi po lewej stronie w twoim królestwie.
22 Jesus said to [her and her sons], “You do not understand what you are asking for. Can you suffer like I am about to suffer [IDM]?” [James and John] answered him, “Yes, we are able [to do that].”
Ale Jezus odpowiedział: Nie wiecie, o co prosicie. Czy możecie pić kielich, który ja będę pił, i być ochrzczeni chrztem, którym ja się chrzczę? Odpowiedzieli mu: Możemy.
23 Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, you will suffer as I will suffer [IDM]. But I am not the one who chooses the ones who [will] sit next to me [and rule with me]. [God], my Father, will give those places [MTY] to the ones whom he appoints.”
Wtedy im powiedział: Mój kielich będziecie pić i chrztem, którym ja się chrzczę, będziecie ochrzczeni, ale nie do mnie należy danie miejsca po mojej prawej i lewej stronie, lecz [będzie dane tym], którym zostało przygotowane przez mojego Ojca.
24 When we ten [other disciples] heard [what James and John had requested], we became angry with them [because we also wanted to rule with Jesus in the highest positions].
A gdy owych dziesięciu [to] usłyszało, oburzyli się na tych dwóch braci.
25 [So] Jesus called all of us together and said [to us], “You know that those who rule the non-Jews [enjoy] showing them that they are powerful. Their chief rulers [enjoy] commanding the people under them.
Ale Jezus przywołał ich [do siebie] i powiedział: Wiecie, że władcy narodów panują nad nimi, a ci, którzy [są] wielcy, sprawują swą władzę nad nimi.
26 You [should] not be like them. On the contrary, everyone among you who wants [God to consider] him great must become [like] a servant for [the rest of] you.
Lecz nie tak ma być wśród was, ale kto między wami chce być wielki, niech będzie waszym sługą.
27 And everyone among you who wants [God to consider him] to be the most important must become [like] a slave for [the rest of] you.
I kto wśród was chce być pierwszy, niech będzie waszym sługą.
28 [You should imitate me]. [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I did not come to be served {in order that people would serve me}. On the contrary, I [came in order] to serve [others] and to [IDM] allow myself to be killed {other people to kill me}, so that [my dying would be like] a payment to rescue many [people from being punished for their sins].” [MTY]
Tak jak Syn Człowieczy nie przyszedł, aby mu służono, ale aby służyć i oddać swoje życie na okup za wielu.
29 As we were leaving Jericho [city], a large crowd of people followed [us].
A gdy wychodzili z Jerycha, szedł za nim wielki tłum.
30 [As we walked along, we saw] two blind men sitting alongside the road. When they heard that Jesus was passing by, they yelled [to him], “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Take pity on us!”
A oto dwaj ślepi, siedzący przy drodze, usłyszawszy, że Jezus przechodzi, zawołali: Zmiłuj się nad nami, Panie, Synu Dawida!
31 [People in] the crowd scolded them [and] told them to be quiet. But the blind men yelled even louder, “Lord, Descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah] Have pity on us!”
Tłum surowo nakazywał im milczeć, lecz oni tym bardziej wołali: Zmiłuj się nad nami, Panie, Synu Dawida!
32 Jesus stopped and called them [to come to him]. [Then] he said [to them], “What do you want me to do for you?”
Wtedy Jezus zatrzymał się, zawołał ich i zapytał: Co chcecie, abym dla was zrobił?
33 They said to him, “Lord, heal our eyes [IDM] [so that we can see]!”
Odpowiedzieli mu: Panie, aby się otworzyły nasze oczy.
34 Jesus [felt] sorry [for them and] touched their eyes. Immediately they were able to see, and they went with Jesus.
Wtedy Jezus ulitował się [nad nimi], dotknął ich oczu, a natychmiast odzyskali wzrok i poszli za nim.
