Łukasza 10
1 A potem Pan wyznaczył jeszcze innych siedemdziesięciu i rozesłał ich po dwóch przed sobą do każdego miasta i miejsca, do którego [sam] miał przyjść.
After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
2 I mówił im: Żniwo wprawdzie wielkie, ale robotników mało. Proście więc Pana żniwa, aby wysłał robotników na swoje żniwo.
He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
3 Idźcie! Oto posyłam was jak baranki między wilki.
Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
4 Nie noście [ze sobą] sakiewki ani torby, ani obuwia. Nikogo też w drodze nie pozdrawiajcie.
Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
5 A gdy wejdziecie do jakiegoś domu, najpierw mówcie: Pokój temu domowi.
Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
6 Jeśli tam będzie syn pokoju, wasz pokój spocznie na nim, a jeśli nie – wróci do was.
If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
7 W tym domu zostańcie, jedząc i pijąc, co mają. Godny jest bowiem robotnik swojej zapłaty. Nie przenoście się z domu do domu.
[If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [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].
8 A gdy wejdziecie do jakiegoś miasta i przyjmą was, jedzcie, co przed wami położą;
Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
9 I uzdrawiajcie chorych, którzy w nim są, i mówcie im: Przybliżyło się do was królestwo Boże.
Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
10 A jeśli wejdziecie do jakiegoś miasta, a nie przyjmą was, wyjdźcie na jego ulice i mówcie:
But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
11 Nawet pył z waszego miasta, który przylgnął do nas, strząsamy na was. Jednak wiedzcie, że przybliżyło się do was królestwo Boże.
‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
12 A mówię wam, że w ten dzień lżej będzie Sodomie niż temu miastu.
I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
13 Biada tobie, Korozain! Biada tobie, Betsaido! Bo gdyby w Tyrze i Sydonie działy się te cuda, które się u was dokonały, dawno by pokutowały, siedząc w worze i popiele.
“There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
14 Dlatego Tyrowi i Sydonowi lżej będzie na sądzie niż wam.
[But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
15 A ty, Kafarnaum, które jesteś aż do nieba wywyższone, aż do piekła będziesz strącone. (Hadēs g86)
[I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
16 Kto was słucha, mnie słucha, a kto wami gardzi, mną gardzi. Kto zaś mną gardzi, gardzi tym, który mnie posłał.
[Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
17 I siedemdziesięciu wróciło z radością, mówiąc: Panie, nawet demony nam się poddają ze względu na twoje imię.
The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
18 Wtedy powiedział do nich: Widziałem szatana spadającego z nieba jak błyskawica.
Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
19 Oto daję wam moc stąpania po wężach, skorpionach i po wszelkiej mocy nieprzyjaciela, a nic wam nie zaszkodzi.
Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
20 Jednak nie z tego się cieszcie, że duchy się wam poddają, ale cieszcie się raczej, że wasze imiona są zapisane w niebie.
But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
21 W tej godzinie Jezus rozradował się w duchu i powiedział: Wysławiam cię, Ojcze, Panie nieba i ziemi, że zakryłeś te sprawy przed mądrymi i roztropnymi, a objawiłeś je niemowlętom. Tak, Ojcze, bo tak się tobie upodobało.
At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
22 Wszystko zostało mi przekazane od mego Ojca i nikt nie wie, kim jest Syn, tylko Ojciec, ani kim jest Ojciec, tylko Syn i ten, komu Syn zechce objawić.
[Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
23 Wtedy odwrócił się do uczniów i powiedział [do nich] na osobności: Błogosławione oczy, które widzą to, co [wy] widzicie.
Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
24 Bo mówię wam, że wielu proroków i królów pragnęło widzieć to, co wy widzicie, a nie zobaczyli, i słyszeć to, co [wy] słyszycie, a nie usłyszeli.
I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
25 A oto powstał pewien znawca prawa i wystawiając go na próbę, zapytał: Nauczycielu, co mam czynić, aby odziedziczyć życie wieczne? (aiōnios g166)
[One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
26 A on powiedział do niego: Co jest napisane w Prawie? Jak czytasz?
Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
27 A on odpowiedział: Będziesz miłował Pana, swego Boga, całym swym sercem, całą swą duszą, z całej swojej siły i całym swym umysłem, a swego bliźniego jak samego siebie.
The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
28 I powiedział mu: Dobrze odpowiedziałeś. Czyń to, a będziesz żył.
Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
29 On zaś, chcąc się usprawiedliwić, powiedział do Jezusa: A kto jest moim bliźnim?
But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
30 Lecz Jezus odpowiedział: Pewien człowiek schodził z Jerozolimy do Jerycha i wpadł w ręce bandytów, którzy go obrabowali, poranili i odeszli, zostawiając na pół umarłego.
Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
31 A przypadkiem szedł tą drogą pewien kapłan; zobaczył go i ominął.
It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
32 Podobnie i Lewita, gdy dotarł na to miejsce, podszedł, zobaczył [go] i ominął.
Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
33 Lecz pewien Samarytanin, będąc w podróży, zbliżył się do niego. A gdy go zobaczył, ulitował się nad nim.
Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
34 A podszedłszy, opatrzył mu rany, zalewając [je] oliwą i winem; potem wsadził go na swoje zwierzę, zawiózł do gospody i opiekował się nim.
He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
35 A nazajutrz, odjeżdżając, wyjął dwa grosze, dał gospodarzowi i powiedział: Opiekuj się nim, a wszystko, co wydasz ponad to, oddam ci, gdy wrócę.
The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
36 Który z tych trzech, twoim zdaniem, był bliźnim tego, który wpadł w ręce bandytów?
Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
37 A on odpowiedział: Ten, który okazał mu miłosierdzie. Wtedy Jezus mu powiedział: Idź i ty czyń podobnie.
The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
38 A gdy szli, wszedł do jednej wsi. Tam pewna kobieta, imieniem Marta, przyjęła go do swego domu.
As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
39 Miała ona siostrę, zwaną Marią, która usiadła u nóg Jezusa i słuchała jego słów.
Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
40 Ale Marta krzątała się koło rozmaitych posług, a podszedłszy, powiedziała: Panie, czy nie obchodzi cię, że moja siostra zostawiła mnie samą przy usługiwaniu? Powiedz jej, aby mi pomogła.
But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
41 A Jezus jej odpowiedział: Marto, Marto, troszczysz się i martwisz o wiele spraw;
But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
42 Ale jedno jest potrzebne. Maria wybrała dobrą cząstkę, która nie będzie jej odebrana.
But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
