Mateusza 14
1 W tym czasie tetrarcha Herod usłyszał wieść o Jezusie.
During that time Herod [Antipas], the ruler, heard reports about Jesus [performing miracles].
2 I powiedział swoim sługom: To jest Jan Chrzciciel. On zmartwychwstał i dlatego cuda dokonują się przez niego.
He said to his servants: “That must be John the Baptizer. He must have risen from the dead, and that is why he has power to perform miracles.”
3 Herod bowiem schwytał Jana, związał go i wtrącił do więzienia z powodu Herodiady, żony swego brata Filipa.
The reason [Herod thought that was this: Herod had married] Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, [while Philip was still living. So] John had been saying to him, “[What] you [did by] marrying [your brother’s wife while your brother is still alive is against God’s] law!” Then, to [please] Herodias, Herod [told his soldiers] to arrest John. They bound him with chains and put him in prison.
4 Bo Jan mówił mu: Nie wolno ci jej mieć.
5 I chciał go zabić, ale bał się ludu, bo uważano go za proroka.
Herod wanted to have John executed, but he was afraid that the people [who had accepted what John taught would riot if he did that], because they believed that John was a prophet.
6 A gdy obchodzono dzień urodzin Heroda, córka Herodiady tańczyła wśród [gości] i spodobała się Herodowi.
But when Herod [gave a party to celebrate] his birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for [his guests]. This pleased Herod.
7 Dlatego pod przysięgą obiecał jej dać, o cokolwiek poprosi.
So he promised to give her whatever she asked, and he asked God to punish him if he did not do what he had promised.
8 A ona, namówiona przedtem przez swoją matkę, powiedziała: Daj mi tu na misie głowę Jana Chrzciciela.
[So Herodias’ daughter went and asked her mother what to ask for]. Her mother told her to ask for John the Baptizer’s head. [So] her daughter [went back and] said [to Herod]: “[Cut off] the head of John the Baptizer and [please] bring it here on a platter [so that my mother can know for sure that he is dead!]”
9 I zasmucił się król, ale ze względu na przysięgę i współbiesiadników kazał [jej] dać.
The king was distressed because he now knew he should not have made that promise to her. [But] because he had made an oath [in front of] his guests [when he made that promise], and [he did not want] them [to think that he would not do what he had promised], he commanded that [the girl] be given [what she requested].
10 A posławszy [kata], ściął Jana w więzieniu.
He sent [the executioner to go to] the prison and to cut off John’s head.
11 I przyniesiono jego głowę na misie, i dano dziewczynie, a ona zaniosła ją swojej matce.
[The executioner did that, and] put John’s head on a platter and gave it to the girl. Then the girl took it to her mother.
12 Potem przyszli jego uczniowie, zabrali ciało i pogrzebali je, a poszedłszy, powiedzieli [o tym] Jezusowi.
John’s disciples then went [to the prison], took John’s body and buried it, and they reported to Jesus [what had happened].
13 A Jezus, usłyszawszy to, oddalił się stamtąd łodzią na miejsce odludne, [żeby być] na osobności. Kiedy ludzie o tym usłyszeli, pieszo poszli za nim z miast.
After Jesus heard that, he took [just us disciples] with him and we went by boat [on Galilee Lake to an uninhabited place]. Matthew 14:13-21 After the crowds heard [that we had gone to an uninhabited place], they [left their towns and] followed Jesus, walking along the shore.
14 Gdy Jezus wyszedł [z łodzi], zobaczył wielki tłum, ulitował się nad nimi i uzdrawiał ich chorych.
When Jesus came [to the shore], he saw a large crowd of people [who had gathered there, waiting for him]. He felt sorry for them, and he healed those [among them who were] sick.
15 A gdy nastał wieczór, podeszli do niego jego uczniowie i powiedzieli: Miejsce to jest puste, a pora już późna. Odpraw tych ludzi, aby poszli do wiosek i kupili sobie żywności.
When it was [nearly] evening, we disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, and it is very late. Dismiss the crowds so that they can go into the [nearby] towns. [Have them do that so that they can] buy food for themselves.”
16 Lecz Jezus im odpowiedział: Nie muszą odchodzić, wy dajcie im jeść.
But Jesus said to us, “They do not need to leave [to get food. Instead], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!”
17 A oni mu powiedzieli: Nie mamy tu nic prócz pięciu chlebów i dwóch ryb.
We said to him, “But we have only five loaves of bread and two [cooked] fish here!”
18 On powiedział: Przynieście mi je tutaj.
He said [to us], “Bring them to me!”
19 Wtedy nakazał ludziom usiąść na trawie, wziął te pięć chlebów i dwie ryby, a spojrzawszy w niebo, pobłogosławił i łamiąc chleby, dawał uczniom, a uczniowie ludziom.
He told the people [who had gathered there] to sit on the grass. Then he took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up toward heaven, thanked [God for them], and broke [them into pieces]. Then he gave them to us disciples, and we distributed them to the crowd.
20 I jedli wszyscy do syta. I zebrali z pozostałych kawałków dwanaście pełnych koszy.
All [the people in the crowd] ate until they had enough to eat. Then we [disciples] gathered the pieces that were left over, [and we] filled twelve baskets with them.
21 A tych, którzy jedli, było około pięciu tysięcy mężczyzn, nie licząc kobiet i dzieci.
Those who ate were about 5,000 men. [We did] not [count the] women and children!
22 Zaraz też Jezus przymusił swoich uczniów, aby wsiedli do łodzi i wyprzedzili go na drugi brzeg, a on tymczasem odprawi tłumy.
Right after that happened, Jesus told us disciples to get in the boat and to go ahead of him further around [the lake] while he dismissed the crowds.
23 A odprawiwszy je, wszedł sam na górę, aby się modlić. A gdy nastał wieczór, [nadal] był tam sam.
After he dismissed them, he went up into the hills to pray by himself. When it was evening, he was [still] there alone.
24 Łódź tymczasem była już na środku morza, miotana przez fale, bo wiatr był przeciwny.
[By this time] we were already many hundred meters from the shore. The boat was being severely tossed around by the waves {The waves were severely tossing the boat} because the wind was [blowing] against [it].
25 Lecz o czwartej straży nocnej przyszedł do nich Jezus, idąc po morzu.
[Then Jesus came down from the hills to the lake]. Some time between three and six o’clock in the morning he walked on the water toward our [boat].
26 A uczniowie, gdy ujrzeli go idącego po morzu, przerazili się i powiedzieli: [To] zjawa! I krzyknęli ze strachu.
When we disciples saw someone walking on the water, we thought that [we must be seeing] a ghost. We were terrified, and we screamed out because we were afraid.
27 Ale Jezus zaraz do nich powiedział: Ufajcie, [to] ja jestem! Nie bójcie się!
Immediately Jesus said to us, “Cheer up! It is I. Do not be afraid!”
28 Piotr odezwał się do niego: Panie, jeśli to jesteś ty, każ mi przyjść do siebie po wodzie.
Peter said to him, “Lord, if it is you, tell me to walk on the water to you!”
29 A on powiedział: Przyjdź! I Piotr, wyszedłszy z łodzi, szedł po wodzie, aby przyjść do Jezusa.
Then Jesus said, “Come!” So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus.
30 Lecz widząc gwałtowny wiatr, zląkł się, a gdy zaczął tonąć, krzyknął: Panie, ratuj mnie!
But when Peter looked at the [tossing waves which] the strong wind [caused], he became afraid. He began to sink, and cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Jezus natychmiast wyciągnął rękę, uchwycił go i powiedział: Człowieku małej wiary, dlaczego zwątpiłeś?
Immediately Jesus stretched out his hand and grabbed him. He said to Peter, “You only trust a little bit [in my power] (Why did you doubt [that I could keep you from sinking]?/You should not have doubted [that I could keep you from sinking]!) [RHQ]”
32 A gdy wsiedli do łodzi, wiatr się uciszył.
Then Jesus and Peter got in the boat, and the wind [immediately] stopped blowing.
33 Ci zaś, którzy byli w łodzi, podeszli i oddali mu pokłon, mówiąc: Naprawdę jesteś Synem Bożym.
All [of us disciples] who were in the boat worshipped Jesus and said, “Truly you are the (Son of/man two is also) God!”
34 I przeprawiwszy się, przybyli do ziemi Genezaret.
When we had gone further around [the lake in the boat], we came ashore at Gennesaret [town].
35 A ludzie z tamtych okolic, poznawszy go, rozesłali [wiadomość] po całej okolicy i przyniesiono do niego wszystkich chorych.
The men of that area recognized Jesus. So they sent [people to inform those who lived] in that whole surrounding region [MTY] [that Jesus was in their area]. [So the people] brought to Jesus all the sick people [who lived in that region].
36 I prosili go, aby mogli dotknąć tylko brzegu jego szaty, a ci, którzy dotknęli, zostali uzdrowieni.
[The sick people] kept begging him to allow them to touch [him or] just to touch the edge of his robe [so that they would be healed]. And all who touched [him or his robe] were healed {he healed all who touched [him or his clothing]}.
