John 18
1 After offering this prayer Jesus went out with His disciples to a place on the further side of the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden which He entered--Himself and His disciples.
Po této modlitbě odešel Ježíš se svými učedníky do olivového háje za potok Kidrón.
2 Now Judas also, who at that very time was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often resorted there with His disciples.
Zrádce Jidáš toto místo dobře znal, protože tam s Ježíšem a učedníky často chodíval.
3 So Judas, followed by the battalion and by a detachment of the Temple police sent by the High Priests and Pharisees, came there with torches and lamps and weapons.
Teď tam vedl chrámovou stráž posílenou vojenskou jednotkou; byli ozbrojení a svítili si na cestu kahany a pochodněmi.
4 Jesus therefore, knowing all that was about to befall Him, went out to meet them. "Who are you looking for?" He asked them.
Ježíš věděl, co ho čeká. Vyšel jim naproti a zeptal se: „Koho hledáte?“
5 "For Jesus the Nazarene," was the answer. "I am he," He replied. (Now Judas who was betraying Him was also standing with them.)
„Ježíše z Nazaretu, “odpověděli. „To jsem já, “řekl jim.
6 As soon then as He said to them, "I am he," they went backwards and fell to the ground.
Když to uslyšeli, ustoupili zpět a padli na zem.
7 Again therefore He asked them, "Who are you looking for?" "For Jesus the Nazarene," they said.
„Koho hledáte?“zeptal se jich Ježíš znovu. „Ježíše Nazaretského, “opakovali.
8 "I have told you," replied Jesus, "that I am he. If therefore you are looking for me, let these my disciples go their way."
„Vždyť jsem vám již řekl, že jsem to já. Tady mne máte, ale tyhle nechte odejít.“
9 He made this request in order that the words He had spoken might be fulfilled, "As for those whom Thou hast given me, I have not lost one."
Tak se splnil jeho slib, že neztratí žádného z těch, které mu Otec svěřil.
10 Simon Peter, however, having a sword, drew it, and, aiming at the High Priest's servant, cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus.
Šimon Petr vytasil meč, napadl jednoho z nich a uťal mu pravé ucho. Byl to Malchos, sluha nejvyššího kněze.
11 Jesus therefore said to Peter, "Put back your sword. Shall I refuse to drink the cup of sorrow which the Father has given me to drink?"
Ale Ježíš řekl Petrovi: „Schovej svůj meč! Otec určil, abych trpěl.“
12 So the battalion and their tribune and the Jewish police closed in, and took Jesus and bound Him.
V té chvíli se ozbrojenci Ježíše zmocnili a spoutali ho.
13 They then brought Him to Annas first; for Annas was the father-in-law of Caiaphas who was High Priest that year.
Vedli ho nejprve k Annášovi, tchánovi úřadujícího velekněze Kaifáše.
14 (It was this Caiaphas who had advised the Jews, saying, "It is to your interest that one man should die for the People.")
Byl to právě Kaifáš, který zastával ve veleradě názor, že je prospěšnější, aby zemřel jeden člověk, než aby byl vydán všanc národ.
15 Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so also was another disciple. The latter was known to the High Priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the High Priest's palace.
Petr Ježíše neopustil a sledoval ho s jiným učedníkem. Ten byl známým nejvyššího kněze, a tak se dostali za Ježíšem až na nádvoří veleknězova paláce.
16 But Peter remained standing outside the door, till the disciple who was acquainted with the High Priest came out and induced the portress to let Peter in.
Petr zůstal před vraty. Jeho společník se přimluvil u vrátné, aby Petra pustila dovnitř.
17 This led the girl, the portress, to ask Peter, "Are you also one of this man's disciples?" "No, I am not," he replied.
Ta se Petra zeptala: „Nepatříš i ty mezi společníky toho člověka?“„Co tě nemá!“ohradil se Petr.
18 Now because it was cold the servants and the police had lighted a charcoal fire, and were standing and warming themselves; and Peter too remained with them, standing and warming himself.
Protože bylo sychravo, zapálili si sluhové a strážci oheň a hřáli se kolem něho. Petr se šel také hřát.
19 So the High Priest questioned Jesus about His disciples and His teaching.
Mezitím Annáš zahájil výslech: „Kdo s tebou chodil? Čemu jsi učil?“
20 "As for me," replied Jesus, "I have spoken openly to the world. I have continually taught in some synagogue or in the Temple where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and I have said nothing in secret.
„Mé učení je obecně známé, “odpověděl Ježíš. „Mluvíval jsem veřejně v synagogách i v chrámu. Tam má každý Žid přístup. Potají jsem nemluvil nic.
21 Why do you question me? Question those who heard what it was I said to them: these witnesses here know what I said."
Co se vyptáváš mne? Ptej se mých posluchačů, ti vědí, co jsem říkal.“
22 Upon His saying this, one of the officers standing by struck Him with his open hand, asking Him as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the High Priest?"
„Jak to mluvíš s veleknězem?“obořil se na Ježíše jeden ze strážných a udeřil ho.
23 "If I have spoken wrongly," replied Jesus, "bear witness to it as wrong; but if rightly, why that blow?"
Ježíš se ohradil: „Jestli nemám pravdu, tak to dokaž. Jsem-li v právu, proč mne biješ?“
24 So Annas sent Him bound to Caiaphas the High Priest.
Annáš potom předal spoutaného vězně Kaifášovi.
25 But Simon Peter remained standing and warming himself, and this led to their asking him, "Are you also one of his disciples?" He denied it, and said, "No, I am not."
Jak se tak Petr hřál u ohně, kdosi se ho zeptal: „Nejsi také jeden z Ježíšových učedníků?“Petr to popřel.
26 One of the High Priest's servants, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did I not see you in the garden with him?"
Jeden z veleknězových sluhů, příbuzný Malchose, kterého Petr poranil, ho obvinil: „Vždyť jsem tě s ním viděl tam v zahradě!“
27 Once more Peter denied it, and immediately a cock crowed.
Petr to opět popřel a vtom zakokrhal kohout.
28 So they brought Jesus from Caiaphas's house to the Praetorium. It was the early morning, and they would not enter the Praetorium themselves for fear of defilement, and in order that they might be able to eat the Passover.
Ráno odvedli Ježíše od Kaifáše k římskému místodržiteli. Židovští žalobci do jeho domu nevstoupili, aby se neposkvrnili v den svátku a nebyli tak vyloučeni z účasti na velikonoční večeři.
29 Accordingly Pilate came out to them and inquired, "What accusation have you to bring against this man?"
Pilát tedy vyšel k nim a ptal se: „Z čeho toho člověka obviňujete?“
30 "If the man were not a criminal," they replied, "we would not have handed him over to you."
„Je to zločinec! Proč bychom ho sem jinak vodili, “odpověděli.
31 "Take him yourselves," said Pilate, "and judge him by your Law." "We have no power," replied the Jews, "to put any man to death."
„Tak si ho nechte a suďte podle svých zákonů, “odsekl Pilát. „Vždyť víš, že nemáme právo nikoho popravit, “bránili se Židé.
32 They said this that the words might be fulfilled in which Jesus predicted the kind of death He was to die.
Tak se naplnila Ježíšova slova, kterými předpověděl způsob své smrti.
33 Re-entering the Praetorium, therefore, Pilate called Jesus and asked Him, "Are you the King of the Jews?"
Pilát se vrátil dovnitř, nechal si Ježíše předvolat a zeptal se ho: „Ty jsi král Židů?“
34 "Do you say this of yourself, or have others told it you about me?" replied Jesus.
„Zajímá tě to osobně, nebo v souvislosti s žalobou?“otázal se Ježíš.
35 "Am I a Jew?" exclaimed Pilate; "it is your own nation and the High Priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
„Jsem snad Žid, abys mohl být mým králem?“ohradil se Pilát. „Tvůj vlastní národ a tvoji představení tě sem předvedli. Čeho ses dopustil?“
36 "My kingdom," replied Jesus, "does not belong to this world. If my kingdom did belong to this world, my subjects would have resolutely fought to save me from being delivered up to the Jews. But, as a matter of fact, my kingdom has not this origin."
Ježíš odpověděl: „Jsem král, ale nejde mi o politickou moc. Kdyby moje království bylo pozemské, moji poddaní by mne proti Židům ubránili. Má říše je jiného druhu.“
37 "So then you are a king!" rejoined Pilate. "Yes," said Jesus, "you say truly that I am a king. For this purpose I was born, and for this purpose I have come into the world--to give testimony for the truth. Every one who is a friend of the truth listens to my voice."
„Přece jsi tedy král, “konstatoval Pilát. „Sám to připouštíš, “odpověděl Ježíš. „Narodil jsem se proto, abych oznámil pravdu o tomto království. Kdo miluje pravdu, ten mne poslouchá.“
38 "What is truth?" said Pilate. But no sooner had he spoken the words than he went out again to the Jews and told them, "I find no crime in him.
„Co je pravda?“ukončil Pilát rozhovor a vyšel opět k Židům. „Ten člověk je nevinný, “prohlásil.
39 But you have a custom that I should release one prisoner to you at the Passover. So shall I release to you the King of the Jews?"
„Jestli ho vy považujete za zločince, udělím mu velikonoční amnestii, jak je tady zvykem. Chcete, abych vám propustil židovského krále?“
40 With a roar of voices they again cried out, saying, "Not this man, but Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
Oni však křičeli: „Toho ne! Propusť Barabáše!“Ten Barabáš byl buřič.
