Jana 4
1 Wkrótce Jezus otrzymał wiadomość, że faryzeusze już wiedzą, iż pozyskuje i chrzci więcej uczniów niż Jan
[At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
2 (chociaż Jezus osobiście nikogo nie chrzcił, ale czynili to Jego uczniowie).
3 Dlatego opuścił Judeę i skierował się do Galilei.
When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
4 Chciał jednak przejść przez Samarię.
[He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
5 Zbliżył się więc do samarytańskiego miasteczka Sychar, położonego w pobliżu terenów, które dawno temu patriarcha Jakub przekazał swojemu synowi, Józefowi.
So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
6 Znajdowała się tam studnia Jakuba. Zmęczony drogą, Jezus usiadł przy niej, a było to samo południe.
The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
7 Wtedy właśnie przyszła tam po wodę pewna Samarytanka. Jezus poprosił ją: —Możesz dać Mi się napić?
8 Uczniowie w tym czasie poszli do miasteczka kupić coś do jedzenia.
9 Kobieta odrzekła: —Prosisz mnie o wodę?! Przecież Żydzi i Samarytanie nawet z sobą nie rozmawiają.
so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
10 —Gdybyś wiedziała, jak wspaniały dar przygotował Bóg dla ludzi oraz kto do ciebie mówi, prosiłabyś Go, a dałby ci wodę życia—odpowiedział Jezus.
Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
11 —Panie, przecież nie masz nawet czym zaczerpnąć wody, a studnia jest głęboka. Skąd więc weźmiesz tę wodę życia?
She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
12 Czyżbyś był większy od naszego przodka Jakuba, który dał nam tę studnię? On sam pił z niej wodę, a także jego dzieci oraz całe jego stada.
Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
13 —Każdy, kto pije tę wodę, po jakimś czasie znowu będzie mieć pragnienie—odrzekł Jezus.
Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
15 —Panie, daj mi więc tej wody—poprosiła kobieta—abym już nie była spragniona i nie musiała przychodzić do tej studni.
The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
16 —Idź najpierw i przyprowadź męża—rzekł do niej Jezus.
[Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
17 —Nie mam męża—odparła. —Słusznie mówisz: „Nie mam męża”.
She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
18 Miałaś bowiem pięciu mężów, a mężczyzna, z którym teraz żyjesz, nie jest twoim mężem. Powiedziałaś więc prawdę.
It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
19 —Panie, widzę, że jesteś prorokiem!—powiedziała.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
20 —Nasi przodkowie czcili Boga na tej górze. A wy, Żydzi, twierdzicie, że Jerozolima jest właściwym miejscem oddawania Mu czci.
But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
21 —Uwierz Mi, kobieto, że nadchodzi czas, gdy ani na tej górze, ani w Jerozolimie nie będziecie czcili Ojca.
Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
22 Wy nie wiecie, kim jest Ten, komu oddajecie cześć. My znamy Go, bo zbawienie wywodzi się od Żydów.
You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
23 Nadchodzi jednak czas—właściwie już nadszedł—gdy prawdziwi czciciele Ojca będą oddawać Mu cześć w duchu i w prawdzie. Właśnie takich czcicieli On pragnie.
However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
24 Bóg jest duchem. Dlatego ci, którzy oddają Mu cześć, mają to robić w duchu i w prawdzie.
God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
25 —Wiem, że pewnego dnia ma przyjść Mesjasz (to znaczy: „Chrystus”)—odrzekła kobieta. —A gdy On nadejdzie, wszystko nam wyjaśni.
The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
26 —Właśnie z Nim rozmawiasz! To Ja Nim jestem—odpowiedział Jezus.
Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
27 W tym momencie nadeszli uczniowie i zdziwili się, że Jezus rozmawia z samarytańską kobietą. Żaden z nich jednak nie zapytał: „Po co z nią rozmawiasz?”.
Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Ona zaś zostawiła dzban i pobiegła do miasteczka, wołając:
The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
29 —Chodźcie zobaczyć człowieka, który powiedział mi wszystko, co zrobiłam w życiu! To musi być Mesjasz!
“Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
30 Mieszkańcy wyszli więc z miasteczka i szli zobaczyć Jezusa.
So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
31 Tymczasem uczniowie zachęcali Go: —Nauczycielu! Zjedz coś.
Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
32 —Ja mam pokarm, o którym nie wiecie—odpowiedział.
But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
33 —Czyżby ktoś przyniósł Mu jedzenie?—zastanawiali się między sobą.
So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
34 —Moim pokarmem jest wypełnianie woli Tego, który Mnie posłał, i wykonywanie Jego dzieła—odparł Jezus.
Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
35 —Czy nie mówicie: Już za cztery miesiące zaczną się żniwa? Ja wam mówię: Rozejrzyjcie się dookoła i zobaczcie, że pola już teraz są gotowe do żniw.
[At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
36 Żniwiarz odbiera zapłatę za pracę i zbiera wieczny plon. A ten, który siał, cieszy się razem z nim. (aiōnios g166)
[If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
37 Prawdziwe jest powiedzenie: „Jeden sieje, drugi zbiera”.
As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
38 Oto posłałem was do zbierania tego, czego nie sialiście. Inni się przy tym napracowali, a wy zbieracie plon ich pracy.
I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
39 Wielu Samarytan z tego miasteczka uwierzyło Jezusowi dzięki słowom kobiety: „Powiedział mi wszystko, co zrobiłam w życiu!”.
Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
40 Gdy więc przyszli do Niego, prosili, żeby się u nich zatrzymał. Został więc tam dwa dni.
So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
41 Oni zaś słuchali Jego nauki i jeszcze więcej z nich uwierzyło Mu.
Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 Kobiecie zaś mówili: „Wierzymy teraz nie tylko dzięki twoim słowom. Sami bowiem Go słyszeliśmy i wiemy, że to właśnie On jest Zbawicielem świata”.
They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
43 Po upływie dwóch dni Jezus udał się do Galilei,
Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
44 mówił bowiem, że prorok nie może znaleźć szacunku we własnej ojczyźnie.
45 Mieszkańcy Galilei przyjęli Go z otwartymi ramionami. Byli bowiem w Jerozolimie na święcie Paschy i widzieli wszystko, czego tam dokonał.
However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
46 Jezus ponownie poszedł do Kany Galilejskiej, gdzie poprzednio przemienił wodę w wino. W pobliskim Kafarnaum mieszkał pewien urzędnik państwowy, którego syn akurat poważnie chorował.
Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
47 Usłyszał on wcześniej, że Jezus zmierza z Judei do Galilei. Przyszedł więc do Kany i błagał Go, aby udał się do Kafarnaum i uzdrowił jego umierającego syna.
When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
48 Jezus rzekł do niego: —Jeśli nie zobaczycie cudów, nie uwierzycie Mi.
Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
49 —Panie, zechciej przyjść, zanim moje dziecko umrze—błagał urzędnik.
But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
50 —Wracaj do domu! Twój syn będzie żył—odpowiedział Jezus. Urzędnik uwierzył Jezusowi na słowo i odszedł.
Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
51 Gdy był jeszcze w drodze, wybiegli mu na spotkanie słudzy z wieścią, że jego syn wyzdrowiał.
[The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
52 Zapytał więc, o której godzinie poczuł się lepiej. —Wczoraj o pierwszej po południu spadła mu gorączka—odpowiedzieli.
He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
53 Ojciec uświadomił sobie wówczas, że właśnie o tej godzinie Jezus powiedział mu: „Twój syn będzie żył”. Wtedy on sam i cały jego dom uwierzył Jezusowi.
Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
54 Był to drugi cud Jezusa od Jego powrotu z Judei do Galilei.
That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
