< Mateusza 21 >

1 A gdy się przybliżyli do Jeruzalemu, i przyszli do Betfagie, do góry oliwnej, tedy Jezus posłał dwóch uczniów,
As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
2 Mówiąc im: Idźcie do miasteczka, które jest przeciwko wam, a zaraz znajdziecie oślicę uwiązaną i oślę z nią; odwiążcież je, a przywiedźcie do mnie.
3 A jeźliby wam co kto rzekł, powiedzcie, iż Pan ich potrzebuje; a zarazem puści je.
If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
4 A to się wszystko stało, aby się wypełniło, co powiedziano przez proroka, mówiącego:
When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
5 Powiedzcie córce Syońskiej: Oto król twój idzie tobie cichy, a siedzący na oślicy, i na oślęciu, synu oślicy pod jarzmem będącej.
6 Szedłszy tedy uczniowie, a uczyniwszy tak, jako im był rozkazał Jezus,
So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
7 Przywiedli oślicę i oślę, i włożyli na nie szaty swoje, i wsadzili go na nie.
They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
8 A wielki lud słał szaty swoje na drodze, a drudzy obcinali gałązki z drzew, i słali na drodze.
Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
9 A lud wprzód i pozad idący wołał, mówiąc: Hosanna synowi Dawidowemu! błogosławiony, który idzie w imieniu Pańskiem, Hosanna na wysokościach!
The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
10 A gdy on wjechał do Jeruzalemu, wzruszyło się wszystko miasto, mówiąc: Któż ten jest?
As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
11 A lud mówił: Tenci jest Jezus, on prorok z Nazaretu Galilejskiego.
The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
12 Tedy wszedł Jezus do kościoła Bożego, i wygnał wszystkie sprzedawające i kupujące w kościele, a stoły tych, co pieniędzmi handlowali, i stołki sprzedawających gołębie poprzewracał,
Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
13 I rzekł im: Napisano: Dom mój dom modlitwy nazwany będzie; aleście wy uczynili z niego jaskinię zbójców.
Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
14 Tedy przystąpili do niego ślepi i chromi w kościele, i uzdrowił je.
After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
15 A obaczywszy przedniejsi kapłani i nauczeni w Piśmie cuda, które czynił, i dzieci wołające w kościele, i mówiące: Hosanna synowi Dawidowemu: rozgniewali się.
The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
16 I rzekli mu: Słyszyszże, co ci mówią? A Jezus im rzekł: I owszem. Nigdyścież nie czytali, iż z ust niemowlątek i ssących wykonałeś chwałę?
[They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
17 A opuściwszy je, wyszedł z miasta do Betanii, i tam został;
Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
18 A rano wracając się do miasta, łaknął.
Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
19 I ujrzawszy jedno figowe drzewo przy drodze, przyszedł do niego, i nie znalazł nic na niem, tylko same liście, i rzekł mu: Niechaj się więcej z ciebie owoc nie rodzi na wieki. I uschło zarazem one figowe drzewo. (aiōn g165)
He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
20 A ujrzawszy to uczniowie, dziwowali się, mówiąc: Jakoć prędko uschło to figowe drzewo!
[The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
21 Tedy odpowiadając Jezus, rzekł im: Zaprawdę powiadam wam: Jeźlibyście mieli wiarę, a nie wątpilibyście, nie tylko to, co się stało z figowem drzewem, uczynicie, ale gdybyście i tej górze rzekli: Podnieś się, a rzuć się w morze, stanie się.
Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
22 I wszystko, o cobyściekolwiek prosili w modlitwie wierząc, weźmiecie.
In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
23 A gdy on przyszedł do kościoła, przystąpili do niego, gdy uczył, przedniejsi kapłani i starsi ludu, mówiąc: Którąż mocą to czynisz? a kto ci dał tę moc?
After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
24 A odpowiadając Jezus, rzekł im: Spytam i ja was o jednę rzecz, którą jeźli mi powiecie, i ja wam powiem, którą mocą to czynię.
Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
25 Chrzest Jana skąd był? z nieba czyli z ludzi? A oni myśleli sami w sobie, mówiąc: Jeźli powiemy z nieba, rzecze nam: Czemużeście mu tedy nie uwierzyli?
Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
26 Jeźli zaś powiemy z ludzi, boimy się ludu; bo Jana wszyscy mają za proroka.
If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
27 A odpowiadając Jezusowi rzekli: Nie wiemy. Rzekł im i on: I ja wam nie powiem, którą mocą to czynię.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
28 Ale cóż się wam zda? Człowiek niektóry miał dwóch synów; a przystąpiwszy do pierwszego, rzekł: Synu! idź, rób dziś na winnicy mojej.
[Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
29 Ale on odpowiadając rzekł: Nie chcę, a potem obaczywszy się, poszedł.
But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
30 A przystąpiwszy do drugiego, rzekł także; a on odpowiadając rzekł: Ja idę, panie! ale nie szedł.
Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
31 Któryż z tych dwóch uczynił wolę ojcowską? Rzekli mu: On pierwszy. Rzekł im Jezus: Zaprawdę powiadam wam, że was celnicy i wszetecznice uprzedzają do królestwa Bożego.
So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
32 Albowiem przyszedł do was Jan drogą sprawiedliwości, a nie uwierzyliście mu, ale celnicy i wszetecznice uwierzyli mu: a wy widząc to, przecież się nie obaczyliście, abyście mu uwierzyli.
I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
33 Drugiego podobieństwa słuchajcie: Człowiek niektóry był gospodarzem, który nasadził winnicę, i płotem ją ogrodził, i wkopał w niej prasę, i zbudował wieżę, i najął ją winiarzom, i odjechał precz.
“Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
34 A gdy się przybliżył czas odbierania pożytków, posłał sługi swoje do onych winiarzy, aby odebrali pożytki jej.
When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
35 Ale winiarze pojmawszy sługi jego, jednego ubili, a drugiego zabili, a drugiego ukamionowali.
But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
36 Zasię posłał inszych sług, więcej niż pierwszych; i także im uczynili.
[So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
37 Ale na ostatek posłał syna swego, mówiąc: Będą się wstydzić syna mego.
Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
38 Lecz winiarze, ujrzawszy onego syna, rzekli między sobą: Tenci jest dziedzic; pójdźcie, zabijmy go, a otrzymamy dziedzictwo jego.
But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
39 Tedy porwawszy go, wyrzucili go precz z winnicy i zabili.
So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Gdy tedy pan winnicy przyjdzie, cóż uczyni onym winiarzom?
[Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
41 Rzekli mu: Złe, źle potraci, a winnicę najmie inszym winiarzom, którzy mu oddawać będą pożytki czasów swoich.
[The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
42 Rzekł im Jezus: Nie czytaliścież nigdy w Pismach: Kamień, który odrzucili budujący, ten się stał głową węgielną: od Panać się to stało, i dziwne jest w oczach naszych?
Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
43 Przetoż powiadam wam: Iż od was odjęte będzie królestwo Boże, i będzie dane narodowi czyniącemu pożytki jego.
So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
44 A kto by padł na ten kamień, roztrąci się, a na kogo by on upadł, zetrze go.
[The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
45 A usłyszawszy przedniejsi kapłani i Faryzeuszowie podobieństwa jego, domyślili się, iż o nich mówił;
When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
46 A chcąc go pojmać, bali się ludu, ponieważ go mieli za proroka.
They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
