Łukasza 17
1 I powiedział do uczniów: Nie jest możliwe, żeby nie przyszły zgorszenia, lecz biada temu, przez którego przychodzą!
[One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
2 Lepiej byłoby dla niego, gdyby zawieszono mu u szyi kamień młyński i wrzucono go do morza, niż żeby miał zgorszyć jednego z tych małych.
Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
3 Miejcie się na baczności. Jeśli twój brat zgrzeszy przeciwko tobie, strofuj go, a jeśli żałuje, przebacz mu.
Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
4 A jeśli siedem razy na dzień zgrzeszy przeciwko tobie i siedem razy w ciągu dnia zwróci się do ciebie, mówiąc: Żałuję tego – przebacz mu.
Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
5 I powiedzieli apostołowie do Pana: Dodaj nam wiary.
[One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
6 A Pan odpowiedział: Gdybyście mieli wiarę jak ziarno gorczycy i powiedzielibyście temu drzewu morwy: Wyrwij się z korzeniem i przesadź się do morza, usłuchałoby was.
The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
7 Kto z was, mając sługę, który orze albo pasie, powie mu, gdy wróci [z pola]: Chodź i usiądź za stołem?
[Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
8 Czy nie powie mu raczej: Przygotuj mi kolację, przepasz się i usługuj mi, aż się najem i napiję, a potem i ty będziesz jadł i pił?
Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
9 Czy dziękuje słudze, że zrobił to, co mu nakazano? Nie wydaje mi się.
(You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
10 Także i wy, gdy zrobicie wszystko, co wam nakazano, mówcie: Sługami nieużytecznymi jesteśmy. Zrobiliśmy to, co powinniśmy byli zrobić.
Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
11 A w drodze do Jerozolimy przechodził przez pogranicze Samarii i Galilei.
As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
12 Gdy wchodził do pewnej wioski, wyszło mu naprzeciw dziesięciu trędowatych mężczyzn, którzy stanęli z daleka.
As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
13 I donośnym głosem zawołali: Jezusie, Mistrzu, zmiłuj się nad nami!
and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
14 Kiedy ich zobaczył, powiedział do nich: Idźcie, pokażcie się kapłanom. A gdy szli, zostali oczyszczeni.
When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
15 Lecz jeden z nich, widząc, że został uzdrowiony, wrócił, chwaląc Boga donośnym głosem.
Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
16 I upadł na twarz do jego nóg, dziękując mu. A był to Samarytanin.
He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
17 Jezus zaś odezwał się: Czyż nie dziesięciu zostało oczyszczonych? Gdzie [jest] dziewięciu?
Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
18 Nie znalazł się nikt, kto by wrócił i oddał chwałę Bogu, tylko ten cudzoziemiec.
I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
19 I powiedział do niego: Wstań, idź! Twoja wiara cię uzdrowiła.
Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
20 Zapytany zaś przez faryzeuszy, kiedy przyjdzie królestwo Boże, odpowiedział im: Królestwo Boże nie przyjdzie dostrzegalnie.
[One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
21 I nie powiedzą: Oto tu, albo: Oto tam [jest]. Królestwo Boże bowiem jest wewnątrz was.
And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
22 A do uczniów powiedział: Przyjdzie czas, kiedy będziecie pragnęli zobaczyć jeden z dni Syna Człowieczego, ale nie zobaczycie.
[Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
23 I powiedzą wam: Oto tu, albo: Oto tam [jest]. Nie chodźcie [tam] ani nie idźcie [za nimi].
[Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
24 Bo jak błyskawica, gdy zabłyśnie, świeci od [jednego] krańca nieba aż po [drugi], tak będzie i z Synem Człowieczym w jego dniu.
Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
25 Ale najpierw musi wiele cierpieć i zostać odrzucony przez to pokolenie.
But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
26 A jak było za dni Noego, tak będzie i za dni Syna Człowieczego:
But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
27 Jedli, pili, żenili się i za mąż wychodziły aż do dnia, w którym Noe wszedł do arki; i nastał potop, i wszystkich wytracił.
[At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
28 Podobnie jak działo się za dni Lota: jedli, pili, kupowali, sprzedawali, sadzili, budowali;
Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
29 Lecz tego dnia, gdy Lot wyszedł z Sodomy, spadł z nieba deszcz ognia i siarki i wszystkich wytracił.
But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
30 Tak też będzie w dniu, kiedy Syn Człowieczy się objawi.
Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
31 Tego dnia, jeśli ktoś będzie na dachu, a jego rzeczy w domu, niech nie schodzi, aby je zabrać, a kto będzie na polu, niech również nie wraca.
On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
32 Pamiętajcie żonę Lota.
Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
33 Kto chce zachować swoje życie, straci je, a kto je straci, zachowa je.
Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
34 Mówię wam: Tej nocy dwóch będzie w jednym łóżku, jeden będzie wzięty, a drugi zostawiony.
I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
35 Dwie będą mleć razem, jedna będzie wzięta, a druga zostawiona.
Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
36 Dwaj będą na polu, jeden będzie wzięty, a drugi zostawiony.
37 I pytali go: Gdzie, Panie? A on im powiedział: Gdzie jest ciało, tam zgromadzą się i orły.
[His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
