Mateusza 10
1 A zwoławszy dwunastu uczniów swoich, dał im moc nad duchy nieczystymi, aby je wyganiali, i uzdrawiali wszelką chorobę i wszelką niemoc.
He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
2 A dwunastu Apostołów te są imiona: Pierwszy Szymon, którego zowią Piotr, i Andrzej, brat jego; Jakób, syn Zebedeusza, i Jan, brat jego;
[Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
3 Filip i Bartłomiej, Tomasz i Mateusz on celnik, Jakób, syn Alfeusza, i Lebeusz, nazwany Tadeusz;
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
4 Szymon Kananejczyk, i Judasz Iszkaryjot, który go też wydał.
Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
5 Tych dwunastu posłał Jezus, rozkazując im i mówiąc: Na drogę poganów nie zachodźcie, i do miasta Samarytańczyków nie wchodźcie;
When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
6 Ale raczej idźcie do owiec, które zginęły z domu Izraelskiego;
Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
7 A idąc każcie, mówiąc: Przybliżyło się królestwo niebieskie.
When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
8 Chore uzdrawiajcie, trędowate oczyszczajcie, umarłe wskrzeszajcie, dyjabły wyganiajcie; darmoście wzięli, darmo dawajcie.
Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
9 Nie bierzcie z sobą złota, ani srebra, ani miedzi w trzosy wasze;
Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [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].
10 Ani taistry na drogę, ani dwóch sukien, ani butów, ani laski; albowiem godzien jest robotnik żywności swojej.
11 A do któregokolwiek miasta albo miasteczka wnijdziecie, wywiadujcie się, kto by w niem tego był godzien, a tamże mieszkajcie, póki nie wynijdziecie;
In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
12 A wszedłszy w dom, pozdrówcie go.
13 A jeźliby on dom tego był godny, niech na niego przyjdzie pokój wasz; a jeźliby nie był godny, pokój wasz niech się wróci do was.
If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
14 A kto by was nie przyjął, ani słuchał słów waszych, wychodząc z domu albo z miasta onego, otrząśnijcie proch z nóg waszych.
If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
15 Zaprawdę wam powiadam: Lżej będzie ziemi Sodomskiej i Gomorskiej w dzień sądny, niżeli miastu onemu.
Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
16 Oto Ja was posyłam jako owce między wilki; bądźcież tedy roztropnymi jako węże, a szczerymi jako gołębice,
“Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
17 A strzeżcie się ludzi; albowiem was będą wydawać do rady, i w zgromadzeniach swoich was biczować będą.
Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
18 Także przed starosty i przed króle wodzeni będziecie dla mnie, na świadectwo przeciwko nim i poganom.
[And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
19 Ale gdy was podadzą, nie troszczcie się, jako i co byście mówili; albowiem wam dano będzie onejże godziny, co byście mówili;
When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
20 Bo wy nie jesteście, którzy mówicie, ale duch Ojca waszego, który mówi w was.
It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
21 I wyda brat brata na śmierć, i ojciec syna, i powstaną dzieci przeciwko rodzicom, i będą je zabijać.
[You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
22 I będziecie w nienawiści u wszystkich dla imienia mego; ale kto wytrwa do końca, ten będzie zbawion.
Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
23 A gdy was prześladować będą w tem mieście, uciekajcie do drugiego; bo zaprawdę powiadam wam, że nie obejdziecie miast Izraelskich, aż przyjdzie Syn człowieczy.
When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
24 Nie jestci uczeń nad mistrza, ani sługa nad Pana swego;
A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
25 Dosyć uczniowi, aby był jako mistrz jego, a sługa jako Pan jego; jeźlić gospodarza Beelzebubem nazywali, czem więcej domowniki jego nazywać będą.
You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
26 Przetoż nie bójcie się ich; albowiem nic nie jest skrytego, co by nie miało być objawiono, i nic tajemnego, czego by się dowiedzieć nie miano.
“Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
27 Co wam w ciemności mówię, powiadajcie na świetle; a co w ucho słyszycie, obwoływajcie na dachach;
[So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
28 A nie bójcie się tych, którzy zabijają ciało, lecz duszy zabić nie mogą; ale raczej bójcie się tego, który może i duszę i ciało zatracić w piekielnym ogniu. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Izali dwóch wróbelków za pieniążek nie sprzedają, a wżdy jeden z nich nie upadnie na ziemię oprócz woli Ojca waszego.
[Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
30 Nawet i włosy wszystkie na głowie waszej policzone są.
[He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
31 Nie bójcie się tedy; nad wiele wróbelków wy zacniejszymi jesteście.
[God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
32 Wszelki tedy, który by mię wyznał przed ludźmi, wyznam go Ja też przed Ojcem moim, który jest w niebiesiech;
If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
33 A kto by się mnie zaparł przed ludźmi, zaprę się go i Ja przed Ojcem moim, który jest w niebiesiech.
But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
34 Nie mniemajcie, żem przyszedł dawać pokój na ziemię; nie przyszedłem dawać pokoju, ale miecz.
“Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
35 Bom przyszedł, abym rozerwanie uczynił między synem a ojcem jego, i między córką a matką jej, także między synową i świekrą jej;
Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
36 I nieprzyjaciołmi będą człowiekowi domownicy jego.
[This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
37 Kto miłuje ojca albo matkę nad mię, nie jest mię godzien; a kto miłuje syna albo córkę nad mię, nie jest mię godzien;
People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
38 A kto nie bierze krzyża swego, i nie idzie za mną, nie jest mię godzien.
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
39 Kto by znalazł duszę swoję, straci ją; a kto by stracił duszę swoję dla mnie, znajdzie ją.
People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
40 Kto was przyjmuje, mnie przyjmuje; a kto mnie przyjmuje, przyjmuje tego, który mię posłał.
“[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
41 Kto przyjmuje proroka w imieniu proroka, zapłatę proroka weźmie; a kto przyjmuje sprawiedliwego w imieniu sprawiedliwego, sprawiedliwego zapłatę weźmie.
Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
42 Kto by też napoił jednego z tych to małych tylko kubkiem zimnej wody w imię ucznia, zaprawdę powiadam wam, nie straci zapłaty swojej.
[Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
