Marka 8
1 A w oneż dni, gdy nader wielki lud był, a nie mieli, co by jedli, zwoławszy Jezus uczniów swoich, rzekł im:
During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
2 Żal mi tego ludu; bo już trzy dni trwają przy mnie, a nie mają, co by jedli;
“This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
3 A jeźli je rozpuszczę głodne do domów ich, pomdleją na drodze; albowiem niektórzy z nich z daleka przyszli.
Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
4 Tedy mu odpowiedzieli uczniowie jego: Skądże te kto będzie mógł nasycić chlebem tu na puszczy?
[Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
5 I spytał ich: Wieleż macie chlebów? A oni rzekli: Siedm.
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 I rozkazał ludowi, żeby usiadł na ziemi; a wziąwszy one siedm chlebów, podziękowawszy łamał, i dawał uczniom swoim, aby przed lud kładli; i kładli przed lud.
Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
7 Mieli też trochę rybek, które pobłogosławiwszy, kazał i one przed lud kłaść.
[They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
8 Jedli tedy i nasyceni są, i zebrali, co zbyło ułomków, siedm koszów.
the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
9 A było tych, co jedli, około czterech tysięcy; i rozpuścił je.
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
10 A wnet wstąpiwszy w łódź z uczniami swoimi, przyszedł w strony Dalmanutskie.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
11 I wyszli Faryzeuszowie, a poczęli z nim spór wieść, szukając od niego znamienia z nieba, a kusząc go.
[In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
12 Tedy westchnąwszy serdecznie w duchu swym, rzekł: Przeczże ten rodzaj znamienia szuka? Zaprawdę powiadam wam, że nie będzie dane znamię temu rodzajowi.
Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
13 I opuściwszy ich, wstąpił zasię w łódź, i przeprawił się na drugą stronę.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 A zapomnieli byli uczniowie wziąć z sobą chleba, i nie mieli z sobą nic więcej, tylko jeden chleb w łodzi.
The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
15 Tedy im przykazał, mówiąc: Baczcież, a strzeżcie się kwasu Faryzeuszów i kwasu Herodowego.
[As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 I rozmawiali między sobą i rzekli: O tem snać mówi, że nie mamy chleba.
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 Co poznawszy Jezus, rzekł im: O czemże rozmawiacie, iż nie macie chleba? Jeszczeż nie baczycie i nie zrozumiewacie? Jeszczeż macie serce swoje zdrętwiałe?
Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
18 Oczy mając nie widzicie, i uszy mając nie słyszycie, i nie pamiętacie?
(I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
19 Gdym onych pięć chlebów łamał między pięć tysięcy ludzi, wiele żeście pełnych koszów ułomków zebrali? Rzekli mu: Dwanaście;
when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
20 A gdym onych siedm chlebów łamał między cztery tysiące ludzi, wieleście koszów pełnych ułomków zebrali? A oni rzekli: Siedm.
Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
21 A on im rzekł: Jakoż tedy nie rozumiecie?
Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
22 Potem przyszedł do Betsaidy; i przywiedli do niego ślepego, prosząc go, aby się go dotknął.
They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
23 A ująwszy onego ślepego za rękę, wywiódł go precz za miasteczko, i plunąwszy na oczy jego, włożył na niego ręce, i pytał go, jeźliby co widział.
Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 A on spojrzawszy w górę, rzekł: Widzę ludzi; bo widzę, że chodzą jako drzewa.
The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
25 Potem zasię włożył ręce na oczy jego, i rozkazał mu w górę spojrzeć; i uzdrowiony jest na wzroku, tak że i z daleka wszystkich jasno widział.
Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
26 I odesłał go do domu jego, mówiąc: I do tego miasteczka nie wchodź, i nikomu z miasteczka nie powiadaj.
Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
27 Tedy wyszedł Jezus i uczniowie jego do miasteczek należących do Cezaryi Filipowej, a w drodze pytał uczniów swoich, mówiąc im: Kimże mię powiadają być ludzie?
Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
28 A oni mu odpowiedzieli: Jedni Janem Chrzcicielem, a drudzy Elijaszem, a drudzy jednym z proroków.
They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
29 Ale on im rzekł: A wy kim mię być powiadacie? A odpowiadając Piotr, rzekł mu: Tyś jest on Chrystus.
He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
30 I przygroził im, aby o nim nikomu nie powiadali.
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 I począł je nauczać, że Syn człowieczy musi wiele ucierpieć, i odrzuconym być od starszych ludu, i od przedniejszych kapłanów i nauczonych w Piśmie, i być zabity, a po trzech dniach zmartwychwstać.
Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
32 A to mówił jawnie. Tedy go Piotr wziąwszy na stronę, począł go strofować.
He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
33 Ale on obróciwszy się, a wejrzawszy na ucznie swoje, zgromił Piotra, mówiąc: Idź ode mnie, szatanie; albowiem nie pojmujesz tego, co jest Bożego, ale co jest ludzkiego.
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
34 A zwoławszy ludu z uczniami swoimi, rzekł im: Ktokolwiek chce za mną iść, niech samego siebie zaprze, a weźmie krzyż swój, i naśladuje mię.
Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
35 Albowiem kto by chciał zachować duszę swą, straci ją; a kto by stracił duszę swą dla mnie i dla Ewangielii, ten ją zachowa.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
36 Bo cóż pomoże człowiekowi, choćby wszystek świat pozyskał, a szkodowałby na duszy swojej?
People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
37 Albo co za zamianę da człowiek za duszę swoję?
([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
38 Albowiem kto by się wstydził za mię i za słowa moje między tym rodzajem cudzołożnym i grzesznym, i Syn człowieczy wstydzić się za niego będzie, gdy przyjdzie w chwale Ojca swego z Anioły świętymi.
And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
