Łukasza 11
1 I stało się, gdy on był na niektórem miejscu, modląc się, że gdy przestał, rzekł do niego jeden z uczniów jego, Panie! naucz nas modlić się, tak jako i Jan nauczył uczniów swoich.
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
2 I rzekł im: Gdy się modlicie, mówcie: Ojcze nasz, któryś jest w niebiesiech! Święć się imię twoje; przyjdź królestwo twoje; bądź wola twoja, jako w niebie tak i na ziemi.
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 Chleba naszego powszedniego daj nam na każdy dzień.
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
4 I odpuść nam grzechy nasze; bo też i my odpuszczamy każdemu winowajcy naszemu. A nie wwódź nas na pokuszenie, ale nas zbaw od złego.
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
5 Zatem rzekł do nich: Któż z was mieć będzie przyjaciela, i pójdzie do niego o północy i rzecze mu: Przyjacielu! pożycz mi trzech chlebów;
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
6 Albowiem przyjaciel mój przyszedł z drogi do mnie, a nie mam, co przed niego położyć.
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
7 A on będąc w domu, odpowiedziałby mówiąc: Nie uprzykrzaj mi się; już są drzwi zamknięte, a dziatki moje są ze mną w pokoju; nie mogę wstać, abym ci dał.
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
8 Powiadam wam: Chociażby mu nie dał wstawszy, przeto że jest przyjacielem jego, wszakże dla niewstydliwego nalegania jego wstawszy, da mu, ile potrzebuje.
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
9 I jać wam powiadam: Proście, a będzie wam dano; szukajcie, a znajdziecie; kołaczcie, a będzie wam otworzono.
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
10 Każdy bowiem, kto prosi, bierze, a kto szuka, znajduje, a temu, co kołacze, będzie otworzono.
Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
11 A któryż jest z was ojciec, którego gdyby prosił syn o chleb, izali mu da kamień? Albo prosiłby o rybę, izali mu zamiast ryby da węża?
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 Albo prosiłliby o jaje, izali mu da niedźwiadka?
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
13 Ponieważ tedy wy, będąc złymi, umiecie dobre dary dawać dzieciom waszym: jakoż daleko więcej Ojciec wasz niebieski da Ducha Świętego tym, którzy go oń proszą?
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
14 Tedy wyganiał dyjabła, który był niemy. I stało się, gdy wyszedł on dyjabeł, przemówił niemy; i dziwował się lud.
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
15 Ale niektórzy z nich mówili: Przez Beelzebuba, książęcia dyjabelskiego, wygania dyjabły.
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
16 Drudzy zasię kusząc go, żądali znamienia od niego z nieba.
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
17 Ale on widząc myśli ich, rzekł im: Każde królestwo rozdzielone samo przeciwko sobie pustoszeje, a dom na dom upada.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
18 A jeźliżeć i szatan rozdzielony jest przeciwko sobie, jakoż się ostoi królestwo jego? albowiem powiadacie, iż ja przez Beelzebuba wyganiam dyjabły.
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
19 A jeźliż ja przez Beelzebuba wyganiam dyjabły, synowie wasi przez kogoż wyganiają? Przetoż oni będą sędziami waszymi.
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
20 Ale jeźliż ja palcem Bożym wyganiam dyjabły, zaisteć przyszło do was królestwo Boże.
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 Gdy mocarz uzbrojony strzeże pałacu swego, w pokoju są majętności jego;
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
22 Ale gdy mocniejszy nadeń nadszedłszy, zwycięży go, odejmuje wszystko oręże jego, w którem ufał, a łupy jego rozdaje.
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
23 Kto nie jest ze mną, przeciwko mnie jest; a kto nie zbiera ze mną, rozprasza.
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
24 Gdy duch nieczysty wychodzi od człowieka, przechadza się po miejscach suchych, szukając odpocznienia, a nie znalazłszy, mówi: Wrócę się do domu mego, skądem wyszedł.
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 A przyszedłszy znajduje umieciony i ochędożony.
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
26 Tedy idzie i bierze z sobą siedm innych duchów gorszych niżeli sam, a wszedłszy mieszkają tam, i bywają rzeczy ostatnie człowieka onego gorsze, niżeli pierwsze.
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
27 I stało się, gdy on to mówił, że wyniósłszy głos niektóra niewiasta z ludu, rzekła mu: Błogosławiony żywot, który cię nosił, i piersi, któreś ssał!
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
28 Ale on rzekł: Owszem błogosławieni są, którzy słuchają słowa Bożego i strzegą go.
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
29 A gdy się lud gromadził, począł mówić: Rodzaj ten rodzaj zły jest; znamienia szuka, ale mu znamię nie będzie dane, tylko ono znamię Jonasza proroka.
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
30 Albowiem jako Jonasz był za znamię Niniwczykom, tak będzie i Syn człowieczy temu rodzajowi.
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
31 Królowa z południa stanie na sądzie z mężami rodzaju tego, i potępi je; bo przyjechała od kończyn ziemi, aby słuchała mądrości Salomonowej; a oto tu więcej, niżeli Salomon.
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
32 Mężowie Niniwiccy staną na sądzie z tym rodzajem i potępią go, przeto że pokutowali na kazanie Jonaszowe; a oto tu więcej, niżeli Jonasz.
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
33 A nikt świecę zapaliwszy, nie stawia jej w skrytości, ani pod korzec, ale na świecznik, aby ci, którzy wchodzą, światło widzieli.
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
34 Świecą ciała jest oko; jeźliby tedy oko twoje było szczere, i ciało twoje wszystko będzie jasne; a jeźliby złe było, i ciało twoje ciemne będzie.
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
35 Patrzajże tedy, aby światło, które jest w tobie, nie było ciemnością.
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
36 Jeźli tedy wszystko ciało twoje jasne będzie, nie mając jakiej cząstki zaćmionej, będzieć wszystko tak jasne, że cię jako świeca blaskiem oświeci.
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
37 A gdy to mówił, prosił go niektóry Faryzeusz, aby jadł obiad u niego; wszedłszy tedy, usiadł za stołem.
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
38 A widząc to Faryzeusz, dziwował się, że się nie umył przed obiadem.
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
39 I rzekł Pan do niego: Teraz wy, Faryzeuszowie! to, co jest zewnątrz kubka i misy, ochędażacie, ale to, co jest wewnątrz w was, pełne jest drapiestwa i złości.
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 Szaleni! izaż ten, który uczynił to, co jest zewnątrz, nie uczynił też tego, co jest wewnątrz?
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 Wszakże i z tego, co jest wewnątrz, dawajcie jałmużnę, a oto wszystkie rzeczy będą wam czyste.
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
42 Ale biada wam, Faryzeuszowie! że dajecie dziesięcinę z mięty, i z ruty, i z każdego ziela, lecz opuszczacie sąd i miłość Bożą: teć rzeczy trzeba czynić, a onych nie opuszczać.
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
43 Biada wam Faryzeuszowie! że miłujecie pierwsze miejsca w bóżnicach i pozdrawiania na rynkach.
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
44 Biada wam, nauczeni w Piśmie i Faryzeuszowie obłudni! bo jesteście jako groby, których nie widać, a ludzie, którzy chodzą po nich, nie wiedzą o nich.
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
45 A odpowiadając niektóry z zakonników, rzekł mu: Nauczycielu! to mówiąc i nas hańbisz.
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
46 A on rzekł: I wam zakonnikom biada! albowiem obciążacie ludzi brzemiony nieznośnemi, a sami się i jednym palcem swoim tych brzemion nie dotykacie.
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
47 Biada wam! że budujecie groby proroków, a ojcowie wasi pozabijali je.
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
48 Zaiste świadczycie, iż się kochacie w uczynkach ojców waszych; albowiem oni je pozabijali, a wy budujecie groby ich.
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
49 Dlategoż też mądrość Boża rzekła: Poślę do nich proroki i Apostoły, a z nich niektóre zabijać i prześladować będą;
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
50 Aby szukano od tego rodzaju krwi wszystkich proroków, która wylana jest od założenia świata,
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
51 Od krwi Abla aż do krwi Zacharyjasza, który zginął między ołtarzem, i kościołem; zaiste powiadam wam, będą jej szukać od rodzaju tego.
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
52 Biada wam zakonnikom! boście wzięli klucz umiejętności; samiście nie weszli, a tym, którzy wnijść chcieli, zabranialiście.
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
53 A gdy im to mówił, poczęli nań nauczeni w Piśmie i Faryzeuszowie bardzo nacierać, i przyczynę mu dawać do mówienia o wielu rzeczach;
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
54 Czyhając nań i szukając, aby co uchwycili z ust jego, żeby go oskarżyli.
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
