Marka 15
1 Wczesnym rankiem naczelni kapłani, naradziwszy się razem ze starszymi, uczonymi w Piśmie i całą Radą, związali Jezusa, odprowadzili go i wydali Piłatowi.
Very early in the morning the chief priests met together with [the rest of] the Jewish council, [in order to decide how to accuse Jesus before the Roman governor. Their guards] tied Jesus’ hands [again]. They took him to [the house of] Pilate, [the governor, and they started to accuse him, saying] “[Jesus is claiming that he is a king!]!”
2 A Piłat zapytał go: Czy ty jesteś królem Żydów? On mu odpowiedział: Ty [sam to] mówisz.
Pilate asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “You yourself have said so.”
3 I oskarżali go naczelni kapłani o wiele rzeczy, ale on nic nie odpowiedział.
Then the chief priests claimed that Jesus had done many bad things.
4 Wtedy Piłat znowu go zapytał: Nic nie odpowiadasz? Zobacz, jak wiele zeznają przeciwko tobie.
So Pilate asked him again, “Don’t you have anything to say? Listen to how many bad things they are saying that you [have done]!”
5 Jezus jednak nic nie odpowiedział, tak że Piłat się dziwił.
But [even though Jesus was not guilty], he did not say anything more. The result was that Pilate was very much surprised.
6 Na święto miał on zwyczaj wypuszczać im jednego więźnia, o którego prosili.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison. He customarily released] whichever prisoner the people requested.
7 A był [jeden], zwany Barabaszem, więziony wraz z buntownikami, którzy podczas rozruchów popełnili zabójstwo.
[At that time] there was a man called Barabbas who had been {whom [the soldiers had]} [put in prison with some other men]. Those men had murdered [some soldiers] when they rebelled [against the Roman government].
8 I tłum zaczął wołać i prosić, [żeby zrobił] to, co zawsze dla nich robił.
A crowd approached [Pilate] and asked him [to release someone], just like he customarily did for them [during the Passover celebration].
9 Lecz Piłat im odpowiedział: Chcecie, abym wam wypuścił króla Żydów?
Pilate answered them, “Would you like me to release for you the [man whom you] Jewish [people say is your] king?”
10 Wiedział bowiem, że naczelni kapłani wydali go z zawiści.
[He asked this] because he realized what the chief priests were wanting to do. They were accusing Jesus because they were jealous of him [because many people were becoming his disciples].
11 Ale naczelni kapłani podburzyli tłum, żeby raczej wypuścił im Barabasza.
But the chief priests urged the crowd [to request] that Pilate release Barabbas for them instead [of Jesus].
12 A Piłat znowu im odpowiedział: Cóż więc chcecie, abym uczynił [z tym], którego nazywacie królem Żydów?
Pilate said to them again, “[If I release Barabbas], what do you want me to do with the man whom [some of] you Jews say is [your] king?”
13 A oni znowu zawołali: Ukrzyżuj go!
Then they shouted again, “[Command that your soldiers] crucify him!”
14 Wtedy Piłat zapytał: Cóż on złego uczynił? Lecz oni jeszcze głośniej wołali: Ukrzyżuj go!
Then Pilate said to them, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Command your soldiers to] crucify him!”
15 Piłat więc, chcąc zadowolić tłum, wypuścił im Barabasza, a Jezusa ubiczował i wydał im na ukrzyżowanie.
So, because Pilate wanted to please the crowd, he released Barabbas for them. Then, after [his soldiers] had whipped Jesus with leather straps into which they had fastened metal pieces, [Pilate told the soldiers to take him away] in order that he would be crucified {they would crucify him}.
16 Żołnierze wprowadzili go do sali, czyli do ratusza, i zwołali cały oddział.
The soldiers took Jesus into the [courtyard of the] palace [where Pilate lived]. That place was the government headquarters. Then they summoned the whole (cohort/group of soldiers) [who were on duty there].
17 Potem ubrali go w purpurę, a uplótłszy koronę z cierni, włożyli mu na [głowę].
[After the soldiers gathered together], they put a purple robe on Jesus. Then they placed on his head a crown that they made from [branches of] thornbushes. [They did those things in order to ridicule him by pretending that he was a king].
18 I zaczęli go pozdrawiać: Witaj, królu Żydów!
Then they greeted him [like they would greet a king, in order to ridicule him], saying, “Hooray for the King [who rules] the Jews!”
19 Bili go trzciną po głowie i pluli na niego, a upadając na kolana, oddawali mu pokłon.
They repeatedly struck his head with a reed and spat on him. By kneeling down, they [pretended to honor] him.
20 A gdy go wyszydzili, zdjęli z niego purpurę, ubrali go w [jego] własne szaty i wyprowadzili na ukrzyżowanie.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the purple robe. They put his own clothes on him, and then they led him outside [of the city] in order to nail him to a cross.
21 I przymusili przechodzącego obok niejakiego Szymona z Cyreny, który szedł z pola, ojca Aleksandra i Rufusa, aby niósł jego krzyż.
[After Jesus carried his cross a short distance], a man named Simon from Cyrene [city came along]. He was the father of Alexander and Rufus. He was passing by while he was returning [home] from outside [the city. The soldiers] compelled Simon to carry the cross [for Jesus].
22 I przyprowadzili go na miejsce [zwane] Golgotą, co się tłumaczy: Miejsce Czaszki.
They brought them both to a place that they [call] Golgotha. That name means, ‘a place [like] a skull’.
23 Dawali mu do picia wino z mirrą, ale go nie przyjął.
Then they tried to give Jesus wine that was {that they} mixed with [medicine called] myrrh. [They wanted him to drink it so that he would not feel so much pain when they crucified him]. But he did not drink it.
24 A gdy go ukrzyżowali, rozdzielili jego szaty, rzucając o nie losy, [by rozstrzygnąć], co kto ma wziąć.
[Some] of the [soldiers took his clothes]. Then they nailed him to a cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with [something like] dice. They did this [in order to determine] which [piece of clothing] each one would get.
25 A była godzina trzecia, gdy go ukrzyżowali.
It was nine o’clock in the morning when they crucified him.
26 Był też napis z podaniem jego winy: Król Żydów.
They [attached to the cross above Jesus’ head] a sign on which it had been written {someone had written} the reason why [they were nailing him to the cross]. [But all] that it said was, “The King of the Jews.”
27 I ukrzyżowali z nim dwóch bandytów, jednego po prawej, a drugiego po jego lewej stronie.
They also nailed to crosses two men who were bandits. They nailed one to a cross at the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross at the left side [of Jesus].
28 Tak wypełniło się Pismo, które mówi: Zaliczono go w poczet złoczyńców.
29 A ci, którzy przechodzili obok, bluźnili mu, kiwając głowami i mówiąc: Ej! Ty, który burzysz świątynię i w trzy dni [ją] odbudowujesz;
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads as [if here were an evil man]. They said, “Aha! You said that you would destroy the Temple and then you would build it again within three days.
30 Ratuj samego siebie i zejdź z krzyża!
[If you could do that, then] rescue yourself by coming down from the cross!”
31 Podobnie naczelni kapłani wraz z uczonymi w Piśmie, naśmiewając się, mówili między sobą: Innych ratował, a samego siebie uratować nie może.
The chief priests, along with the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, also [wanted to] make fun of Jesus. So they said to each other, “He [claims to have] saved others [from their sicknesses] [IRO] but he cannot save himself!
32 Niech Chrystus, król Izraela, zejdzie teraz z krzyża, żebyśmy ujrzeli i uwierzyli. Urągali mu także ci, którzy byli z nim ukrzyżowani.
He said, ‘I am the Messiah, I am the King who [rules the people of] Israel.’ [If his words are true], he should come down now from the cross! Then we will believe [him]!” The [two] men who were crucified beside him also insulted him.
33 A gdy była szósta godzina, ciemność ogarnęła całą ziemię aż do godziny dziewiątej.
At noon the whole land became dark, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
34 O godzinie dziewiątej Jezus zawołał donośnym głosem: Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? – co się tłumaczy: Boże mój, Boże mój, czemu mnie opuściłeś?
At three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” That means, “My God, my God, why have you deserted me?”
35 A niektórzy ze stojących tam [ludzi], usłyszawszy to, mówili: Woła Eliasza.
When some of the people who were standing there heard [the word ‘Eloi’, misunderstanding it], they said, “Listen! He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
36 Wtedy ktoś podbiegł, napełnił gąbkę octem i włożywszy na trzcinę, dał mu pić, mówiąc: Przestańcie, zobaczymy, czy przyjdzie Eliasz, aby go zdjąć.
One of them ran and filled a sponge with sour wine. He placed it on [the tip of] a reed, and then he [held it] up for [Jesus] to suck out [the wine that was in] it. [While he was doing that, someone] said, “Wait! Let’s see whether Elijah will come to take him down [from the cross]!”
37 A Jezus zawołał donośnym głosem i oddał ducha.
And then, after Jesus shouted loudly, he stopped breathing [and died].
38 I rozerwała się na pół zasłona świątyni, od góry aż do dołu.
[At that moment] the [heavy thick] curtain that closed off [the most holy place in] the Temple split into two pieces from top to bottom. [That showed that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
39 A setnik, który stał naprzeciw, widząc, że tak wołając, oddał ducha, powiedział: Ten człowiek prawdziwie był Synem Bożym.
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross] was standing in front of Jesus. When he saw how Jesus died, he exclaimed, “Truly, this man was the man who was also God!”
40 Były [tam] też kobiety, które przypatrywały się z daleka, a wśród nich Maria Magdalena i Maria, matka Jakuba Mniejszego i Józefa, oraz Salome.
There were also some women there, watching these events from a distance. They had accompanied Jesus when he was in Galilee [district], and they had provided what he needed. They had come with him to Jerusalem. Among those women was Mary from Magdala [town]. There was [another] Mary, who was the mother of the younger James and of Joses. There was also Salome.
41 One to, gdy jeszcze był w Galilei, chodziły za nim i usługiwały mu. [Było] też wiele innych, które wraz z nim przyszły do Jerozolimy.
42 A ponieważ był [dzień] przygotowania, który jest przed szabatem, i nastał już wieczór;
When evening was near, [a man named] Joseph from Arimathea [town came there]. He was a member of the [Jewish] council, one whom everyone respected. He was also one of those who had been waiting expectantly for the [time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule. [He knew that, according to Jewish law, people’s bodies had to be buried] {[someone had to bury people’s bodies]} [on the day they died. He also realized that] it was the day when [people] prepared [things for] ([the Jewish day of rest/the Sabbath]), [and that the Sabbath would start when the sun set]. So he became courageous and went to Pilate and asked Pilate [to permit him to take] the body of Jesus [down from the cross and bury it immediately].
43 Przyszedł Józef z Arymatei, ważny członek Rady, który sam też oczekiwał królestwa Bożego, śmiało wszedł do Piłata i poprosił o ciało Jezusa.
44 A Piłat zdziwił się, że już nie żyje, i zawoławszy setnika, zapytał go, czy dawno umarł.
Pilate was surprised [when he heard that] Jesus was already dead. So he summoned the officer who was in charge of the soldiers [who crucified Jesus], and he asked him if [Jesus] had already died.
45 I upewniony przez setnika, wydał ciało Józefowi.
When the officer told [Pilate that Jesus was dead], Pilate allowed Joseph [to take away] the body.
46 Ten kupił płótno, zdjął go, owinął płótnem i złożył w grobowcu, który był wykuty w skale, a przed wejście do grobowca zatoczył kamień.
After Joseph bought a linen cloth, he [and others] took [Jesus’ body down from the cross]. They wrapped it in the linen cloth and laid it in a tomb that [previously] had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. Then they rolled a [huge flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb.
47 A Maria Magdalena i Maria, [matka] Józefa, patrzyły, gdzie go złożono.
Mary [from] Magdala and Mary the mother of Joses were watching where Jesus’ [body] was placed {where they placed Jesus’ [body]}.
