Mateusza 22
1 A odpowiadając Jezus, zasię im rzekł w podobieństwach, mówiąc:
Then Jesus told [the Jewish leaders] other parables [in order to illustrate what will happen to the people who do not accept him as the King God promised to send]. [This is one of those parables: ]
2 Podobne jest królestwo niebieskie człowiekowi królowi, który sprawił wesele synowi swemu;
“[God] [MTY/EUP] [is like] a king [SIM] who [told his servants that they should] make a wedding feast for his son.
3 I posłał sługi swe, aby wezwali zaproszonych na wesele; ale nie chcieli przyjść.
[When] the feast [was ready], the king sent his servants to tell the people who had been {whom he had} invited that it was time for them to come to the wedding feast. [The servants did that]. But the people who had been invited did not want to come.
4 Znowu posłał insze sługi, mówiąc: Powiedzcie zaproszonym: Otom obiad mój nagotował, woły moje i co było karmnego, pobito, i wszystko gotowe, pójdźcież na wesele.
So he sent other servants [to] again [tell the people whom he had invited that they should come to the feast]. He said [to those servants], ‘Say to the people whom I invited [to come to the feast], “The king says that he has prepared the food. The oxen and the fattened calves have been butchered [and cooked]. Everything is ready. It is time [now for you to] come to the wedding feast!’”’
5 Ale oni zaniedbawszy odeszli, jeden do roli swojej, a drugi do kupiectwa swego;
[But when the servants told them that, they] disregarded [what the servants said]. Some of them went to their own fields. Others went to their places of business.
6 A drudzy pojmawszy sługi jego, zelżyli i pobili je.
The rest of them seized the king’s servants, mistreated them, and killed them.
7 Co gdy król usłyszał, rozgniewał się, a posławszy wojska swoje, wytracił one morderce, i miasto ich zapalił.
[When the king heard what had happened], he became furious. He commanded his soldiers to go and kill those murderers and burn their cities.
8 Tedy rzekł sługom swoim: Weseleć wprawdzie jest gotowe; lecz zaproszeni nie byli godni.
[After his soldiers had done that], the king said to his other servants, ‘I have prepared the [wedding] feast, but the people who were {whom I} invited do not deserve to [come to it because they did not consider it an honor to have been invited].
9 Przetoż idźcie na rozstania dróg, kogokolwiek znajdziecie, wezwijcie na wesele.
So, go to the intersections of the main streets. Tell whomever you find that they should come to the [wedding] feast.’
10 Tedy wyszedłszy oni słudzy na drogi, zgromadzili wszystkie, którekolwiek znaleźli, złe i dobre, i napełnione jest wesele gośćmi.
So the servants went there, and they gathered everyone they saw [who wanted to come to the feast]. They gathered [both people that were considered] to be evil and [those that were considered to be] good. They brought them into the hall where the wedding [feast took place]. The hall was filled with people.
11 A wszedłszy król, aby oglądał goście, obaczył tam człowieka nie odzianego szatą weselną;
But when the king went [into the hall] to see the guests who were there, he saw someone who was not wearing clothes [that had been provided for the guests to wear] at a wedding [feast].
12 I rzekł mu: Przyjacielu! jakoś tu wszedł, nie mając szaty weselnej? A on zamilknął.
The king said to him, ‘Friend, (you should never have entered this hall, because you are not wearing the clothes [that guests wear] at wedding [feasts]!/how did you enter this hall, because you are not wearing the clothes [that are appropriate for guests to wear] at a wedding [feast]?) [RHQ]’ The man did not say anything, [because he did not know what to say].
13 Tedy rzekł król sługom: Związawszy nogi i ręce jego, weźmijcie go, a wrzućcie do ciemności zewnętrznych, tam będzie płacz i zgrzytanie zębów.
Then the king said to his attendants, ‘Tie this person’s feet and hands and throw him outside where there is total darkness. People who are there cry out [because they are suffering] and they gnash their teeth [because of their severe pain].’”
14 Albowiem wiele jest wezwanych, ale mało wybranych.
[Then Jesus said, “The point of this story is that God] has invited many [to come to him], but only a few people are the ones whom he has chosen [to be there].”
15 Tedy odszedłszy Faryzeuszowie uczynili radę, jako by go usidlili w mowie.
After Jesus said that, the Pharisees met together in order to plan how they could cause him to say something that would enable them to accuse him.
16 I posłali do niego ucznie swoje z Herodyjany, mówiąc: Nauczycielu! wiemy, żeś jest prawdziwy, i drogi Bożej w prawdzie uczysz, a nie dbasz na nikogo; albowiem nie patrzysz na osobę ludzką.
They sent to him some of their disciples, [who thought that the Israelites should pay only the tax that the Jewish authorities required them to pay]. They also sent some members of the party that supported Herod. [The members of that party thought that the Israelites should pay only the tax that the Roman government required them to pay]. [Those who were sent came and] said to Jesus, “Teacher, we know that you are truthful and that you teach the truth about what God wants [us to do]. We also know that you do not change what you teach because of what someone says about you, even if it is an important person who does not like what you [IDM] teach.
17 Przetoż powiedz nam, co ci się zda? Godzili się dać czynsz cesarzowi, czyli nie?
So tell us what you think [RHQ] [about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
18 Ale Jezus poznawszy złość ich, rzekł im: Czemuż mię kusicie, obłudnicy?
But Jesus knew that what they really wanted to do was evil. [They were wanting him to say something that would get him in trouble with either the Jewish authorities or the Roman authorities. So he said to them], “You are (hypocrites/pretending to ask a legitimate question), but you are just wanting [RHQ] me to say something for which you can accuse me.
19 Pokażcie mi monetę czynszową; a oni mu podali grosz.
Show me [one of] the coins with [which people pay] the [Roman] tax.” So they showed him [a coin called] a denarius.
20 I rzekł im: Czyjże to obraz i napis?
He said to them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?”
21 Rzekli mu: Cesarski. Tedy im rzekł: Oddawajcież tedy, co jest cesarskiego, cesarzowi, a co jest Bożego, Bogu.
They answered, “[It has the picture and name of] Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].” Then he said to them, “Okay, give to the government what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
22 To usłyszawszy, zadziwili się, a opuściwszy go, odeszli.
When those men heard Jesus say that, they marveled [that his answer did not enable anyone to accuse him]. Then they left Jesus.
23 Dnia onego przyszli do niego Saduceuszowie, którzy mówią, iż nie masz zmartwychwstania, i pytali go,
During that same day, some Sadducees came to Jesus. [They are a Jewish sect who do not] believe that people will become alive again after they die. They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question.
24 Mówiąc: Nauczycielu! Mojżesz powiedział: Jeźliby kto umarł, nie mając dzieci, aby brat jego prawem powinowactwa pojął żonę jego, i wzbudził nasienie bratu swemu.
[In order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again], they said [to him], “Teacher, Moses wrote [in the Scriptures], ‘If a man dies who did not have any children, his brother must marry the [dead man’s] widow in order that she can have a child by him. The child [will be considered] the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].’
25 Było tedy u nas siedm braci; a pierwszy pojąwszy żonę, umarł, a nie mając nasienia, zostawił żonę swoję bratu swemu.
Well, there were seven boys in a family [living] near us. The oldest one married someone. He [and his wife] did not have any children, and he died. So the second brother married the widow. [But he also died without having a child].
26 Także też wtóry i trzeci, aż do siódmego.
The same thing [happened to] the third [brother], and also to the other four [brothers, who one by one married this same woman].
27 A na ostatek po wszystkich umarła i ona niewiasta.
Last of all, the widow also died.
28 Przetoż przy zmartwychwstaniu, któregoż z tych siedmiu będzie żoną, gdyż ją wszyscy mieli?
So, at the time when people are raised from the dead, which of the seven [brothers do you think] will be her husband? Keep in mind that they had all been married to her.”
29 A odpowiadając Jezus rzekł im: Błądzicie, nie będąc powiadomieni Pisma, ani mocy Bożej.
Jesus replied to them, “You are certainly wrong [in what you are thinking]. You do not know [what is written in] the Scriptures. [You] also do not know [that] God has [the] power [to make people alive again].
30 Albowiem przy zmartwychwstaniu ani się żenić, ani za mąż chodzić nie będą, ale będą jako Aniołowie Boży w niebie.
The fact is that [the woman will not be the wife of any of them, because] after [God causes all dead] people [to] live again, no one will be married. Instead, [people] will be like the angels in heaven. [They do not marry].
31 A o powstaniu umarłych nie czytaliście, co wam powiedziano od Boga mówiącego:
But as for dead people becoming alive again, God said something about that. (I’m sure you have read it./Have you not read it?) [RHQ] [Long after Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob had died, God said to Moses],
32 Jam jest Bóg Abrahama, i Bóg Izaaka, i Bóg Jakóba? Bóg nie jestci Bogiem umarłych, ale żywych.
‘I am the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob worships.’ It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we know their spirits were still alive]!”
33 A usłyszawszy to lud, zdumiał się nad nauką jego.
When the crowds of people heard [Jesus teach] that, they were amazed.
34 Lecz gdy usłyszeli Faryzeuszowie, że zawarł usta Saduceuszom, zeszli się wespół.
But when the Pharisees heard that Jesus had answered the Sadducees in such a way that the Sadducees could not [think of anything that they might say to] respond to him, the Pharisees gathered together to [plan what they would say to him]. [Then they approached him].
35 I spytał go jeden z nich, zakonnik, kusząc go i mówiąc:
One of them was a man who had studied well the laws [that God gave Moses]. He wanted to see if Jesus [could answer] his question well [or if he would say something wrong]. He asked him,
36 Nauczycielu! które jest największe przykazanie w zakonie?
“Teacher, which commandment in the laws [that God gave Moses] is the most important?”
37 A Jezus mu rzekł: Będziesz miłował Pana, Boga twego, ze wszystkiego serca twego, i ze wszystkiej duszy twojej i ze wszystkiej myśli twojej.
Jesus [quoted the Scriptures as he replied], “‘You must love the Lord your God with all [IDM] your (inner being/heart). [Show that you love him] in all that you desire, in all that you feel, and in all that you think.’
38 To jest pierwsze i największe przykazanie.
That is the most important commandment [in the laws that God gave Moses].
39 A wtóre podobne jest temuż: Będziesz miłował bliźniego twego, jako samego siebie.
The next most important commandment [that everyone must surely obey] is: ‘You must love the people you come in contact with as much as [you love] yourself.’
40 Na tych dwóch przykazaniach wszystek zakon i prorocy zawisnęli.
These two commandments are the basis of every law [that Moses wrote in the Scriptures] and also of all that the prophets [wrote].”
41 A gdy się Faryzeuszowie zebrali, spytał ich Jezus,
While the Pharisees were still gathered together [near] Jesus, he asked them,
42 Mówiąc: Co się wam zda o Chrystusie? Czyim jest synem? Rzekli mu: Dawidowym.
“What do you think about the Messiah? Whose descendant is he?” They said to him, “[He is] the descendant of [King] David.”
43 I rzekł im: Jakoż tedy Dawid w duchu nazywa go Panem? mówiąc:
Jesus said to them, “[If the Messiah is King David’s descendant], then (David should not have called him ‘Lord’ when David was saying [what] the [Holy] Spirit [prompted him to] say./Why did David call the Messiah ‘Lord’ when David was speaking [what] the [Holy] Spirit [prompted him to] say?) [RHQ]
44 Rzekł Pan Panu memu: Siądź po prawicy mojej, aż położę nieprzyjacioły twoje podnóżkiem nóg twoich.
[David wrote this in the Scriptures about the Messiah]: ‘God said to my Lord, “Sit [here beside me] on my right, [the place of greatest honor you] [MTY]. [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies [MTY].”’
45 Ponieważ go tedy Dawid nazywa Panem, jakoż jest synem jego?
So, since [King] David called [the Messiah] ‘my Lord’, ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from David!/how can he be [only] the descendant of [King] David?) [RHQ] [He must be much greater than David]!”
46 A żaden mu nie mógł odpowiedzieć i słowa, i nie śmiał go nikt więcej od onego dnia pytać.
No one [who heard what Jesus said] was able to think of even one word to say to him [in response]. And after that, no one else ever dared to ask him another question [to try to trap him].
