Łukasza 9
1 A [Jezus], przywoławszy swoich dwunastu uczniów, dał im moc i władzę nad wszystkimi demonami i [moc], aby uzdrawiali choroby.
[One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
2 I rozesłał ich, żeby głosili królestwo Boże i uzdrawiali chorych.
[Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
3 Powiedział też do nich: Nie bierzcie nic na drogę: ani laski, ani torby, ani chleba, ani pieniędzy i nie miejcie dwóch szat.
he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
4 A gdy wejdziecie do jakiegoś domu, tam pozostańcie i stamtąd wychodźcie.
Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
5 A jeśli was nie przyjmą, wychodząc z tego miasta, strząśnijcie pył z waszych nóg na świadectwo przeciwko nim.
[In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
6 Wyszedłszy więc, obchodzili wszystkie miasteczka, głosząc ewangelię i uzdrawiając wszędzie.
Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
7 A o wszystkim, co się przez niego dokonywało, usłyszał tetrarcha Herod i zaniepokoił się, ponieważ niektórzy mówili, że Jan zmartwychwstał;
Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
8 Inni zaś, że Eliasz się pojawił, a jeszcze inni, że zmartwychwstał któryś z dawnych proroków.
Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
9 A Herod powiedział: Jana ściąłem. Kim więc jest ten, o którym słyszę takie rzeczy? I chciał go zobaczyć.
But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
10 Kiedy apostołowie wrócili, opowiedzieli mu wszystko, co uczynili. A on, wziąwszy ich ze sobą, odszedł osobno na odludne miejsce koło miasta zwanego Betsaidą.
When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Gdy ludzie się o tym dowiedzieli, poszli za nim. On ich przyjął i mówił im o królestwie Bożym, i uzdrawiał tych, którzy potrzebowali uzdrowienia.
But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
12 A gdy dzień zaczął się chylić [ku wieczorowi], podeszło do niego dwunastu, mówiąc: Odpraw tłum, aby poszli do okolicznych miasteczek i wsi i znaleźli żywność oraz schronienie, bo jesteśmy tu na pustkowiu.
Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
13 Ale on powiedział do nich: Wy dajcie im jeść. A oni odpowiedzieli: Nie mamy nic więcej oprócz pięciu chlebów i dwóch ryb; chyba że pójdziemy i kupimy jedzenie dla tych wszystkich ludzi.
But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
14 Mężczyzn bowiem było około pięciu tysięcy. I powiedział do swoich uczniów: Rozkażcie im usiąść w grupach po pięćdziesięciu.
There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
15 Uczynili tak i usadowili wszystkich.
After they told the people that, they all sat down.
16 A [on], wziąwszy te pięć chlebów i dwie ryby, spojrzał w niebo, pobłogosławił je, łamał i dawał uczniom, aby kładli przed ludźmi.
Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
17 I jedli wszyscy do syta. A z kawałków, które im pozostały, zebrano dwanaście koszy.
All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
18 I stało się tak, że kiedy modlił się na osobności, a byli z nim uczniowie, zapytał ich: Za kogo mnie ludzie uważają?
[One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
19 A oni odpowiedzieli: Za Jana Chrzciciela, inni za Eliasza, a jeszcze inni [mówią], że zmartwychwstał któryś z dawnych proroków.
They replied, “[Some people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say that you are [the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
20 I powiedział do nich: A wy za kogo mnie uważacie? A Piotr odpowiedział: Za Chrystusa Bożego.
He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
21 Ale on surowo [ich] napomniał i nakazał, aby nikomu tego nie mówili.
Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
22 I powiedział: Syn Człowieczy musi wiele cierpieć i zostać odrzucony przez starszych, naczelnych kapłanów i uczonych w Piśmie, i być zabity, a trzeciego dnia zmartwychwstać.
Then he said, “[Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
23 Mówił też do wszystkich: Jeśli ktoś chce pójść za mną, niech się wyprze samego siebie, niech bierze swój krzyż każdego dnia i idzie za mną.
Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
24 Kto bowiem chce zachować swoje życie, straci je, a kto straci swe życie z mojego powodu, ten je zachowa.
You must do that, because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] will live [forever with me].
25 Bo cóż pomoże człowiekowi, choćby cały świat pozyskał, jeśli samego siebie zatraci lub szkodę poniesie?
People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
26 Kto bowiem wstydzi się mnie i moich słów, tego Syn Człowieczy będzie się wstydził, gdy przyjdzie w chwale swojej, Ojca i świętych aniołów.
Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [I], the one who came from heaven, will also refuse to say that [they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels, and have the glorious brightness that my Father has.
27 Ale zapewniam was: Niektórzy z tych, co tu stoją, nie zakosztują śmierci, dopóki nie ujrzą królestwa Bożego.
But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
28 W jakieś osiem dni po tych mowach wziął ze sobą Piotra, Jana i Jakuba i wszedł na górę, aby się modlić.
About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
29 A gdy się modlił, zmienił się wygląd jego oblicza, a jego szaty [stały się] białe i lśniące.
As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
30 A oto rozmawiało z nim dwóch mężów. Byli to Mojżesz i Eliasz.
Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
31 Ukazali się oni w chwale i mówili o jego odejściu, którego miał dokonać w Jerozolimie.
32 A Piotra i tych, którzy z nim byli, zmógł sen. Gdy się obudzili, ujrzeli jego chwałę i tych dwóch mężów, którzy z nim stali.
Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
33 Kiedy oni od niego odeszli, Piotr powiedział do Jezusa: Mistrzu, dobrze nam tu być. Postawmy więc trzy namioty: jeden dla ciebie, jeden dla Mojżesza i jeden dla Eliasza. Nie wiedział bowiem, co mówi.
As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
34 A gdy on to mówił, pojawił się obłok i zacienił ich. I zlękli się, kiedy oni wchodzili w obłok.
As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
35 I rozległ się głos z obłoku: To jest mój umiłowany Syn, jego słuchajcie.
[God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
36 Gdy zaś ten głos się rozległ, okazało się, że Jezus jest sam. A oni milczeli i w tych dniach nikomu nie mówili nic o tym, co widzieli.
After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
37 Nazajutrz, gdy zeszli z góry, mnóstwo ludzi wyszło mu naprzeciw.
The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
38 Nagle [jakiś] człowiek z tłumu zawołał: Nauczycielu, proszę cię, spójrz na mego syna, bo to mój jedynak.
Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
39 I oto duch dopada go, a on nagle krzyczy. Szarpie nim tak, że się pieni i potłukłszy go, niechętnie od niego odchodzi.
At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
40 I prosiłem twoich uczniów, aby go wypędzili, ale nie mogli.
I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
41 Wtedy Jezus odpowiedział: O pokolenie bez wiary i przewrotne! Jak długo będę z wami i [jak długo] mam was znosić? Przyprowadź tu swego syna.
Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
42 A gdy on jeszcze podchodził, powalił go demon i zaczął nim targać. Lecz Jezus zgromił ducha nieczystego, uzdrowił chłopca i oddał go jego ojcu.
While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
43 I zdumieli się wszyscy potęgą Boga. A gdy się dziwili wszystkiemu, co czynił Jezus, on powiedział do swoich uczniów:
All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
44 Przyjmijcie te słowa do waszych uszu, Syn Człowieczy bowiem będzie wydany w ręce ludzi.
“Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
45 Lecz oni nie zrozumieli tych słów i były one zakryte przed nimi, tak że ich nie pojęli, a bali się go o nie zapytać.
But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
46 Wszczęła się też między nimi dyskusja [o tym], kto z nich jest największy.
The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
47 A Jezus, znając [tę] myśl ich serca, wziął dziecko, postawił je przy sobie;
But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
48 I powiedział do nich: Kto przyjmie to dziecko w moje imię, mnie przyjmuje, a kto mnie przyjmie, przyjmuje tego, który mnie posłał. Kto bowiem jest najmniejszy wśród was wszystkich, ten będzie wielki.
He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
49 Wtedy odezwał się Jan: Mistrzu, widzieliśmy kogoś, kto w twoim imieniu wypędzał demony i zabranialiśmy mu, bo nie chodzi z nami [za tobą].
John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
50 I powiedział do niego Jezus: Nie zabraniajcie [mu], bo kto nie jest przeciwko nam, ten jest z nami.
But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
51 A gdy wypełniły się dni, aby został wzięty w górę, [mocno] postanowił udać się do Jerozolimy.
When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
52 I wysłał przed sobą posłańców. [Poszli więc] i weszli do wioski Samarytan, aby przygotować dla niego [miejsce].
He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
53 Lecz nie przyjęto go, ponieważ zmierzał do Jerozolimy.
But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
54 A jego uczniowie Jakub i Jan, widząc to, powiedzieli: Panie, czy chcesz, żebyśmy rozkazali, aby ogień zstąpił z nieba i pochłonął ich, jak [to] uczynił Eliasz?
When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
55 Lecz [Jezus], odwróciwszy się, zgromił ich i powiedział: Nie wiecie, jakiego jesteście ducha.
But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
56 Syn Człowieczy bowiem nie przyszedł zatracać dusz ludzkich, ale [je] zbawić. I poszli do innej wioski.
So they went to a different village.
57 Kiedy byli w drodze, ktoś powiedział do niego: Panie, pójdę za tobą, dokądkolwiek się udasz.
As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
58 Jezus mu odpowiedział: Lisy mają nory, a ptaki niebieskie – gniazda, ale Syn Człowieczy nie ma gdzie położyć głowy.
[In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
59 Do innego zaś powiedział: Pójdź za mną! Ale on rzekł: Panie, pozwól mi najpierw odejść i pogrzebać mego ojca.
Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
60 Lecz Jezus mu odpowiedział: Niech umarli grzebią swoich umarłych, a ty idź i głoś królestwo Boże.
But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
61 Jeszcze inny powiedział: Pójdę za tobą, Panie, ale pozwól mi najpierw pożegnać się z tymi, którzy są w moim domu.
Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
62 Jezus mu odpowiedział: Nikt, kto przykłada swoją rękę do pługa i ogląda się wstecz, nie nadaje się do królestwa Bożego.
Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
