Łukasza 10
1 Potem Pan wybrał siedemdziesięciu uczniów i wysłał ich po dwóch do miast i wiosek, które zamierzał odwiedzić.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 —Żniwo jest wielkie—mówił im—a tak mało pracujących! Proście więc gospodarza, aby posłał więcej pracowników na żniwa.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Idźcie! Posyłam was jak owce między wilki.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Nie bierzcie ze sobą pieniędzy ani torby podróżnej, ani nawet zapasowego obuwia. Wędrując, nie traćcie ani chwili, nawet na tradycyjne przywitanie się z napotkanymi ludźmi.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 Gdy odwiedzicie jakiś dom, życzcie wszystkim pokoju.
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 Jeśli to pobożni ludzie, odpowiedzą wam tym samym. Jeśli nie—pokój pozostanie z wami.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 Nie zmieniajcie miejsca pobytu, ale pozostańcie w jednym domu aż do opuszczenia tej miejscowości. Jedzcie tam i pijcie bez skrępowania, gdyż jako robotnicy macie prawo do zapłaty.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [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].
8 W jakimkolwiek mieście was przyjmą, korzystajcie z ich gościnności.
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 Uzdrawiajcie chorych i mówcie: „Nadchodzi królestwo Boże!”.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 Lecz jeśli gdzieś nie zostaniecie przyjęci, stańcie na rynku i powiedzcie:
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 „Nawet kurz waszego miasta strząsamy z naszych stóp. Wiedzcie, że odrzucacie królestwo Boże, które było tak blisko was”.
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 Mówię wam, że w dniu sądu grzesznym mieszkańcom Sodomy i Gomory będzie lżej niż temu miastu.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 Następnie Jezus dodał: —Marny wasz los, Korozain i Betsaido! Gdyby cuda, których u was dokonałem, wydarzyły się wśród grzesznych mieszkańców Tyru i Sydonu, już dawno by się opamiętali, siedząc w worze pokutnym i popiele.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Wiedzcie, że w dniu sądu mieszkańcom Tyru i Sydonu będzie łatwiej niż wam!
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 Potem powiedział do uczniów: —Kto was słucha, Mnie słucha. A kto się od was odwraca, odrzuca także Mnie, a tym samym Ojca, który Mnie posłał.
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 Po pewnym czasie powróciło siedemdziesięciu uczniów i z radością oznajmiło: —Panie, ze względu na Ciebie nawet złe duchy były nam posłuszne!
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 —Tak, widziałem szatana spadającego z nieba z szybkością błyskawicy!—rzekł Jezus.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 —Dałem wam władzę nad wszelką jego mocą, abyście mogli chodzić po wężach i skorpionach, nie doznając żadnej krzywdy.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Nie fascynujcie się jednak tym, że złe duchy są wam posłuszne. Cieszcie się raczej z tego, że wasze imiona wpisane są do księgi obywateli nieba.
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 Następnie, napełniony radością Ducha Świętego, Jezus powiedział: —Uwielbiam Cię, Ojcze, Panie nieba i ziemi! Ty ukryłeś swoją prawdę przed mędrcami i znawcami, a objawiłeś ją prostym ludziom. Tego właśnie pragnąłeś!
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 —Ojciec powierzył Mi całą prawdę—wyjaśniał Jezus zebranym. —Nikt nie zna Mnie, Syna, tylko mój Ojciec. I nikt nie zna mojego Ojca, tylko Ja, Syn oraz ten, komu zechcę Go objawić.
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Jakiś czas później, gdy byli już sami, rzekł do uczniów: —Bóg was ogromnie wyróżnił, pozwalając wam to wszystko widzieć.
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 W przeszłości wielu proroków i władców pragnęło zobaczyć i usłyszeć to, co wy, ale nie mogli.
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 Pewien przywódca religijny przyszedł do Jezusa i zadał Mu podchwytliwe pytanie: —Nauczycielu, co mam czynić, aby otrzymać życie wieczne? (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 —Co na ten temat mówi Prawo Mojżesza? Co w nim czytasz?—zapytał Jezus.
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 —„Kochaj twojego Pana i Boga całym sercem, całą duszą, z całych swoich sił oraz całym umysłem, a bliźnich kochaj tak, jak kochasz samego siebie!”—odpowiedział.
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 —Dobrze powiedziałeś—odrzekł Jezus. —Tak postępuj, a będziesz żył wiecznie!
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 —A kto jest moim bliźnim?—zapytał rozmówca, chcąc się usprawiedliwić.
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Wtedy Jezus opowiedział mu następującą historię: —Pewnego człowieka, idącego z Jerozolimy do Jerycha, napadli bandyci. Zdarli z niego odzież, pobili, okradli i bliskiego śmierci zostawili przy drodze.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 Przypadkiem przechodził tamtędy kapłan. Zauważył biedaka, lecz przeszedł na drugą stronę drogi i ominął go.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Tak samo postąpił lewita, dozorca świątyni—po prostu minął go.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Przejeżdżał też tamtędy człowiek z pogardzanej przez wszystkich Samarii. Podszedł do rannego, popatrzył i zrobiło mu się go żal.
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 Obmył jego rany winem i oliwą, przewiązał je, a potem posadził rannego na swojego osła i przewiózł go do zajazdu, gdzie dalej się nim zajmował.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 Następnego dnia wręczył gospodarzowi sporą sumę pieniędzy i poprosił: „Zaopiekuj się nim, a jeśli wydasz więcej—pokryję to w drodze powrotnej”.
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 Kończąc opowieść, Jezus zwrócił się do rozmówcy: —Który z tych trzech, twoim zdaniem, okazał się bliźnim napadniętego przez bandytów?
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 —Ten, który mu pomógł. —Więc i ty postępuj podobnie—odpowiedział Jezus.
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 Kontynuując podróż do Jerozolimy, Jezus zatrzymał się w pewnej wiosce. Skorzystał z zaproszenia niejakiej Marty.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Jej siostra, Maria, usiadła u stóp Jezusa i słuchała Go.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Marta zaś była bardzo zajęta przygotowaniem posiłku. W końcu podeszła do Niego i zapytała: —Czy nie razi Cię to, Panie, że moja siostra siedzi bezczynnie, podczas gdy ja mam tyle pracy? Powiedz jej, żeby mi pomogła!
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 —Droga Marto, zabiegasz o tak wiele rzeczy—rzekł do niej
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 —a przecież tak naprawdę liczy się tylko jedno. To właśnie wybrała Maria i nie zostanie jej to odebrane.
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
