Mateusza 14
1 W on czas usłyszał Herod Tetrarcha, wieść o Jezusie.
During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
2 I rzekł sługom swoim: Tenci jest Jan Chrzciciel; on to zmartwychwstał, i dlatego się cuda przez niego dzieją.
He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
3 Albowiem Herod pojmawszy Jana, związał go był i wsadził do więzienia dla Herodyjady, żony Filipa, brata swego.
The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
4 Bo mu Jan mówił: Nie godzi ci się jej mieć.
5 Ale gdy go on chciał zabić, bał się ludu: albowiem go za proroka mieli.
Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
6 Gdy tedy obchodzono dzień narodzenia Herodowego, tańcowała córka Herodyjady w pośrodku gości, i podobała się Herodowi.
But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
7 Skąd pod przysięgą obiecał jej dać, czegobykolwiek żądała.
So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
8 A ona przedtem będąc naprawiona od matki swojej, rzekła: Daj mi tu na misie głowę Jana Chrzciciela.
[So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
9 I zasmucił się król; ale dla przysięgi i dla spółsiedzących kazał jej dać.
The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
10 A posławszy kata, ściął Jana w więzieniu.
He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
11 I przyniesiono głowę jego na misie, i oddano dzieweczce, i odniosła ją matce swojej.
[The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
12 A przyszedłszy uczniowie jego wzięli ciało i pogrzebli je, a szedłszy powiedzieli Jezusowi.
John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
13 To usłyszawszy Jezus, ustąpił stamtąd w łodzi na miejsce puste osobno; a usłyszawszy lud, szli za nim z miast pieszo.
After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
14 Wyszedłszy tedy Jezus ujrzał wielki lud, i użalił się ich, a uzdrawiał chore ich.
When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
15 A gdy nadchodził wieczór, przystąpili do niego uczniowie jego, mówiąc: Puste jest to miejsce, a czas już przeminął; rozpuść ten lud, aby odszedłszy do miasteczek, kupili sobie żywności.
When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
16 A Jezus im rzekł: Nie potrzeba im odchodzić, dajcie wy im co jeść.
But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
17 Ale mu oni rzekli: Nie mamy tu, tylko pięć chlebów i dwie ryby.
We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
18 A on rzekł: Przynieście mi je tu.
He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
19 I rozkazawszy ludowi usiąść na trawie, wziął onych pięć chlebów i dwie ryby, a wejrzawszy w niebo, błogosławił, a łamiąc dawał uczniom chleby, a uczniowie ludowi.
He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
20 I jedli wszyscy, a nasyceni byli; i zebrali, co zbywało ułomków, dwanaście koszów pełnych.
All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
21 A tych, którzy jedli, było około pięciu tysięcy mężów, oprócz niewiast i dziatek.
Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
22 A wnetże przymusił Jezus uczniów swoich, aby wstąpili w łódź, i uprzedzili go na drugą stronę, ażby rozpuścił lud.
Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
23 A rozpuściwszy lud, wstąpił na górę z osobna, aby się modlił; a gdy był wieczór, sam tam był.
After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
24 A łódź już w pośrodku morza będąc, miotana była od wałów; albowiem był wiatr przeciwny.
[By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
25 Lecz o czwartej straży nocnej szedł do nich Jezus, chodząc po morzu.
[Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
26 A ujrzawszy go uczniowie po morzu chodzącego, zatrwożyli się, mówiąc: Obłuda to jest! i od bojaźni krzyknęli.
When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
27 Lecz wnet rzekł do nich Jezus, mówiąc: Ufajcie! Jam ci to jest; nie bójcie się.
Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
28 A odpowiadając mu Piotr rzekł: Panie! Jeźliżeś ty jest, każ mi przyjść do ciebie po wodzie.
Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
29 A on rzekł: Pójdź! A Piotr, wystąpiwszy z łodzi, szedł po wodzie, aby przyszedł do Jezusa;
Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
30 Ale widząc wiatr gwałtowny, zląkł się; a gdy począł tonąć, zakrzyknął, mówiąc: Panie, ratuj mię!
But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 A Jezus zaraz wyciągnąwszy rękę, uchwycił go i rzekł mu: O małowierny! przeczżeś wątpił?
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
32 A gdy oni wstąpili w łódź, uciszył się wiatr.
Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
33 A ci, którzy byli w łodzi, przystąpiwszy pokłonili mu się, mówiąc: Prawdziwie jesteś Synem Bożym.
All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
34 I przeprawiwszy się, przyszli do ziemi Gienezaret.
When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
35 A poznawszy go mężowie miejsca onego, posłali do wszystkiej onej okolicznej krainy; i przyniesiono do niego wszystkie, którzy się źle mieli.
The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
36 I prosili go, aby się tylko podołku szaty jego dotykali; a którzykolwiek się dotknęli, uzdrowieni są.
[The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
