Mateusza 27
1 A gdy nastał ranek, wszyscy naczelni kapłani i starsi ludu naradzili się przeciwko Jezusowi, aby go zabić.
Very early the next morning all the chief priests and Jewish elders decided how [to arrange for the Romans] to execute Jesus.
2 Związali go, odprowadzili i wydali namiestnikowi Poncjuszowi Piłatowi.
They tied his hands and took him to Pilate, the [Roman] governor.
3 Wtedy Judasz, który go wydał, widząc, że został skazany, żałował [tego] i zwrócił trzydzieści srebrników naczelnym kapłanom i starszym;
When Judas, the one who had (betrayed/enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize) him, realized that they had decided to have Jesus executed, he was very sorry [about what he had done]. He took the 30 coins back to the chief priests and elders.
4 Mówiąc: Zgrzeszyłem, wydając krew niewinną. A oni powiedzieli: Cóż nam do tego? To twoja sprawa.
He said, “I have sinned. I have (betrayed/enabled you to seize) a man who (is innocent/has not done anything wrong).” They replied, “(That means nothing to us!/What does that mean to us?) [RHQ] That is your problem!”
5 Wtedy rzucił te srebrniki w świątyni i oddalił się, a [potem] poszedł i powiesił się.
So Judas [took] the money [and] threw it inside the Temple. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6 A naczelni kapłani wzięli srebrniki i mówili: Nie wolno ich kłaść do skarbca świątynnego, gdyż jest to zapłata za krew.
[Later] the high priests [found] the coins. They picked them up and said, “This is money that we paid [to have a man killed] [MTY], and our law does not allow [such money] to be put {us to put [such money]} into the [Temple treasury].”
7 I naradziwszy się, kupili za nie pole garncarza, aby grzebać [na nim] cudzoziemców.
So they decided to use that money to buy the field where clay was dug for making pots {men dug ground for making pots}. [They made that field] a place where they buried strangers [who died in Jerusalem].
8 Dlatego to pole aż do dziś nazywa się Polem Krwi.
That is why that place is still called {why they still call that place} ‘The field of blood’.
9 Wtedy się wypełniło, co zostało powiedziane przez proroka Jeremiasza: I wzięli trzydzieści srebrników, zapłatę [za] oszacowanego, którego oszacowali synowie Izraela;
[By buying that field], they fulfilled these words that the prophet Jeremiah wrote [long ago]: They took the 30 silver coins; That was what the leaders of Israel decided [that he was worth];
10 I dali je za pole garncarza, jak mi nakazał Pan.
and with that money they bought the field where clay was dug for potters. They did that as the Lord had commanded me.
11 Jezus stał przed namiestnikiem. I zapytał go namiestnik: Czy ty jesteś królem Żydów? Jezus mu odpowiedział: Ty [sam to] mówisz.
Jesus stood in front of [Pilate], the governor. The governor asked Jesus, “Do you [claim to be] the king of the Jews?” Jesus replied, “[It is] as you have [just] said.”
12 A gdy oskarżali go naczelni kapłani i starsi, nic nie odpowiedział.
When he was accused by the chief priests and elders {When the chief priests and elders accused him} about various things, he did not answer.
13 Wtedy Piłat zapytał go: Nie słyszysz, jak wiele zeznają przeciwko tobie?
So Pilate said to him, “You hear how many things they are saying to accuse you; [are you not going to reply]?”
14 Lecz mu nie odpowiedział na żadne słowo, tak że namiestnik bardzo się dziwił.
But [even though he was not guilty], Jesus did not say anything. He did not reply to any of the things about which they were accusing him. As a result, the governor was very surprised.
15 A na święto namiestnik miał zwyczaj wypuszczać ludowi jednego więźnia, [tego], którego chcieli.
It was the governor’s custom [each year] during the [Passover] celebration to release [one person who was in prison]. [He released] whichever prisoner the people wanted.
16 Trzymano zaś w tym czasie osławionego więźnia, zwanego Barabaszem.
At that time there was [in Jerusalem] a well-known prisoner whose name was Barabbas.
17 Gdy więc się zebrali, zapytał ich Piłat: Którego chcecie, abym wam wypuścił? Barabasza czy Jezusa, zwanego Chrystusem?
So when the crowd gathered, Pilate asked them, “Which [prisoner] would you like me to release for you: Barabbas, or Jesus, whom [some of you] claim to be the Messiah?”
18 Wiedział bowiem, że wydali go z zawiści.
[He asked that question] because he realized that the chief priests [wanted to have Jesus executed]. They had brought Jesus to him [only] because they were jealous of Jesus. [And Pilate thought that the crowd would prefer that he release Jesus].
19 A gdy on siedział na krześle [sędziowskim], jego żona posłała [wiadomość] do niego: Nie miej nic do czynienia z tym sprawiedliwym, bo dzisiaj we śnie wiele wycierpiałam z jego powodu.
While Pilate was sitting on the platform [where he made] judicial [decisions], his wife sent him [this message]: “Early this morning I had a bad dream because of that man. So do not condemn that righteous man!”
20 Tymczasem naczelni kapłani i starsi namówili tłumy, aby prosiły o Barabasza, a [domagały się] stracenia Jezusa.
But the chief priests and elders persuaded the crowd to ask [Pilate to] release Barabbas, and to [order] that Jesus be executed {that [his soldiers] execute Jesus}.
21 Namiestnik zapytał ich: Którego z tych dwóch chcecie, abym wam wypuścił? A oni odpowiedzieli: Barabasza.
So when the governor asked them, “Which of the two men do you want me to release for you?” They replied, “Barabbas!”
22 Piłat zapytał ich: Cóż więc mam zrobić z Jezusem, którego nazywają Chrystusem? Odpowiedzieli mu wszyscy: Niech będzie ukrzyżowany!
Pilate, [very astonished], asked, “So what shall I do with Jesus who [some of you] say is the Messiah?” They all answered, “[Command that] he be crucified! {[Command your soldiers] (to crucify him/to nail him to a cross)}!”
23 Namiestnik zaś zapytał: Cóż właściwie złego uczynił? Lecz oni jeszcze głośniej wołali: Niech będzie ukrzyżowany!
Pilate replied, “Why? What crime has he committed?” But they shouted even louder, “[Have] him crucified {[Command that your soldiers] crucify him}!”
24 Gdy Piłat zobaczył, że nic nie osiąga, ale [przeciwnie], zamieszanie staje się większe, wziął wodę i umył ręce przed tłumem, mówiąc: Nie jestem winny krwi tego sprawiedliwego. To wasza sprawa.
Pilate realized that he was accomplishing nothing. He saw that instead, the people were starting to riot. So he took [a basin of] water and washed his hands as the crowd was watching. He said, “[By washing my hands I am showing you that] if this man dies [MTY], it is [your] fault, [not mine]!”
25 A cały lud odpowiedział: Krew jego na nas i na nasze dzieci.
And all the people answered, “The guilt for causing him to die [MTY] will be on us, and it will be on our children, too!”
26 Wtedy wypuścił im Barabasza, a Jezusa, po ubiczowaniu, wydał na ukrzyżowanie.
Then he [ordered the soldiers to] release Barabbas for them. But he [ordered that his soldiers] flog Jesus. And then he turned Jesus over to the soldiers for them (to nail Jesus to a cross/to crucify him).
27 Wówczas żołnierze namiestnika zaprowadzili Jezusa na ratusz i zebrali wokół niego cały oddział.
Then the governor’s soldiers took Jesus into the government headquarters. The whole (cohort/group of soldiers) gathered around him.
28 A rozebrawszy go, ubrali go w szkarłatny płaszcz.
They pulled off [his clothes], and [pretending he was a king, they] put a purple robe on him.
29 Upletli koronę z cierni i włożyli mu na głowę, a w prawą rękę [dali] trzcinę. I padając przed nim na kolana, naśmiewali się z niego, mówiąc: Witaj, królu Żydów!
They [took some branches with] thorns and wove them to make a crown and put it on his head. They put in his right hand a reed [like a staff that a king would hold]. Then they knelt in front of him and made fun of him, saying, “Hooray for the king of the Jews [IRO]!”
30 A plując na niego, brali tę trzcinę i bili go po głowie.
They kept spitting on him. They took the staff and kept striking him on the head with it.
31 Kiedy go wyszydzili, zdjęli z niego płaszcz, ubrali go w jego szaty i odprowadzili na ukrzyżowanie.
When they had finished ridiculing him, they pulled off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to [the place where they] would nail him to a cross.
32 A wychodząc, spotkali człowieka z Cyreny, imieniem Szymon. Tego przymusili, aby niósł jego krzyż.
[After Jesus carried his cross] a short distance, [the soldiers] saw a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city]. They forced him to carry the cross for Jesus.
33 Gdy przyszli na miejsce zwane Golgotą, czyli Miejscem Czaszki;
They came to a place called Golgotha. That name means ‘the place [like] a skull’.
34 Dali mu do picia ocet zmieszany z żółcią. Skosztował, ale nie chciał pić.
When [they got there], they mixed with wine something that tasted very bitter. They gave it to [Jesus] to drink [so that he would not feel so much pain when they nailed him on the cross]. But when he tasted it, he refused to drink it. [Some soldiers took his clothes].
35 A gdy go ukrzyżowali, rozdzielili jego szaty i rzucali losy, aby się wypełniło, co zostało powiedziane przez proroka: Rozdzielili między siebie moje szaty, a o moje ubranie rzucali losy.
Then they nailed him to the cross. Afterwards, they divided his clothes among themselves by gambling with something like dice [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
36 A siedząc, tam go pilnowali.
Then the soldiers sat down there to guard him, [to prevent anyone from trying to rescue him].
37 I umieścili nad jego głową napis z podaniem jego winy: To jest Jezus, król Żydów.
They fastened [to the cross] above Jesus’ head a [sign on which had been] {[they had]} written why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all] it said was, ‘This is Jesus, the King of the Jews’.
38 Ukrzyżowano też z nim dwóch bandytów, jednego po prawej, a drugiego po lewej stronie.
Two bandits were also nailed {They also nailed two bandits} on crosses. One was nailed to a cross on the right side [of Jesus] and one to a cross on the left side.
39 A ci, którzy przechodzili obok, bluźnili mu, kiwając głowami;
The people who were passing by insulted him by shaking their heads [as if he were an evil man].
40 I mówiąc: Ty, który burzysz świątynię i w trzy dni [ją] odbudowujesz, ratuj samego siebie. Jeśli jesteś Synem Bożym, zejdź z krzyża.
They said, “You [said you] would destroy the Temple, and then you would build it again within three days! [So if you could do that], you [should be able to] save yourself! If you are the man who is also God (OR, If you are the Son of God), come down from the cross!”
41 Podobnie naczelni kapłani z uczonymi w Piśmie i starszymi, naśmiewając się, mówili:
Similarly, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the elders made fun of him. [Various ones of them] said things like,
42 Innych ratował, a samego siebie uratować nie może. Jeśli jest królem Izraela, niech teraz zejdzie z krzyża, a uwierzymy mu.
“He [claims that he] saved others [IRO] [from their sicknesses], but he cannot help himself!” “He [says that he] is [IRO] the King of Israel. So he should come down from the cross. Then we would believe him!”
43 Ufał Bogu, niech go teraz wybawi, jeśli go sobie upodobał. Przecież powiedział: Jestem Synem Bożym.
“He [says that he] trusts in God, and that he is the man who is also God. So if God is pleased with him, God should rescue him now!”
44 Tak samo urągali mu też bandyci, którzy byli z nim ukrzyżowani.
And the [two] bandits who had been crucified with him also insulted him, saying similar things.
45 A od godziny szóstej aż do dziewiątej ciemność ogarnęła całą ziemię.
At noon it became dark over the whole land. [It stayed dark] until three o’clock [in the afternoon].
46 Około godziny dziewiątej Jezus zawołał donośnym głosem: Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? To znaczy: Boże mój, Boże mój, czemu mnie opuściłeś?
At about three o’clock Jesus shouted loudly, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?” That means, ‘My God, my God, why have you deserted me?’
47 Wtedy niektórzy z tych, co tam stali, usłyszawszy to, mówili: On woła Eliasza.
When some of the people standing there heard [the word ‘Eli’, misunderstanding it], they said, “He is calling for [the prophet] Elijah!”
48 I zaraz jeden z nich podbiegł, wziął gąbkę i napełnił ją octem, a włożywszy na trzcinę, dał mu pić.
Immediately one of them ran and got a sponge. He filled it with sour wine. Then he put the sponge on [the tip of] a reed and [held it up in order that Jesus] could suck out [the wine that was in it].
49 Lecz inni mówili: Przestań, zobaczmy, czy przyjdzie Eliasz, aby go wybawić.
But the other [people there] said, “Wait! Let’s see if Elijah comes to save him!”
50 Jezus zaś zawołał ponownie donośnym głosem i oddał ducha.
Then after Jesus shouted out loudly again, he died, giving his spirit over [to God].
51 A oto zasłona świątyni rozerwała się na pół, od góry aż do dołu, ziemia się zatrzęsła i skały popękały.
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 signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God]. The earth shook, and [some large] rocks split open.
52 Grobowce się otworzyły, a wiele ciał świętych, którzy zasnęli, powstało.
[Some] tombs opened up, and the bodies of many godly people who had died became alive again.
53 I wyszli z grobów po jego zmartwychwstaniu, weszli do miasta świętego i ukazali się wielu.
They came out of the tombs, and after Jesus became alive again, they went into Jerusalem and appeared to many people [there].
54 Wtedy setnik i ci, którzy z nim pilnowali Jezusa, widząc trzęsienie ziemi i to, co się działo, bardzo się zlękli i powiedzieli: On prawdziwie był Synem Bożym.
The officer who supervised the soldiers [who nailed Jesus to the cross was standing nearby]. His soldiers who had been on guard [so that no one would rescue] Jesus [were also there]. When they [felt] the earthquake and saw all the [other] things that happened, they were terrified. They exclaimed, “Truly he was both man and God! (OR, a Son of God).”
55 A było tam wiele kobiet, które przypatrywały się z daleka. Szły one za Jezusem od Galilei i usługiwały mu.
Many women were there, watching from a distance. They were women who had accompanied Jesus from Galilee [district] in order to provide the things he needed.
56 Wśród nich były: Maria Magdalena, Maria, matka Jakuba i Józefa, oraz matka synów Zebedeusza.
Among these women were Mary from Magdala [town], [another] Mary who was the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John.
57 A gdy nastał wieczór, przyszedł bogaty człowiek z Arymatei, imieniem Józef, który też był uczniem Jezusa.
When it was [almost] evening, a rich man named Joseph came [there]. He was from Arimathea [town]. He also was a disciple of Jesus.
58 Udał się on do Piłata i poprosił o ciało Jezusa. Wtedy Piłat rozkazał, aby [mu] je wydano.
He then went to Pilate and asked Pilate to [allow him to take] the body of Jesus [and bury it]. Pilate ordered that [he] be allowed to {[his soldiers] let [Joseph]} take [the body].
59 A Józef zabrał ciało, owinął je w czyste płótno;
So Joseph [and others] took the body and wrapped it in a clean white cloth.
60 I złożył w swoim nowym grobowcu, który wykuł w skale. Przed wejście do grobowca zatoczył wielki kamień i odszedł.
Then they placed it in Joseph’s own new tomb that had been dug out of the rock [cliff]. They rolled a huge [circular flat] stone in front of the entrance to the tomb. Then they left.
61 A Maria Magdalena i druga Maria siedziały tam naprzeciw grobowca.
Mary from Magdala and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb, [watching].
62 Następnego dnia, [pierwszego] po [dniu] przygotowania, naczelni kapłani i faryzeusze zebrali się u Piłata;
The next day was Saturday, the Jewish day of rest. The chief priests and [some of] the Pharisees went to Pilate.
63 I oznajmili: Panie, przypomnieliśmy sobie, że ten zwodziciel powiedział, gdy jeszcze żył: Po trzech dniach zmartwychwstanę.
They said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive, he said, ‘Three days after I [die I] will become alive again.’
64 Rozkaż więc zabezpieczyć grobowiec aż do trzeciego dnia, by przypadkiem jego uczniowie nie przyszli w nocy, nie wykradli go i nie powiedzieli ludowi: Powstał z martwych. I ostatni błąd będzie gorszy niż pierwszy.
So we ask you to order that the tomb be guarded {that [soldiers] guard the tomb} for three days. If you do not do that, his disciples may come and steal the body. Then they will tell people that he has risen from the dead. If they deceive [people by saying that], it will be worse than the way he deceived people before [by saying that he was the Messiah].”
65 Piłat powiedział im: Macie straż. Idźcie, zabezpieczcie, jak umiecie.
Pilate replied, “You [can] take some soldiers. Go to the tomb and make it as secure as you know how.”
66 Poszli więc i zabezpieczyli grobowiec, pieczętując kamień i stawiając straż.
So they went and made the tomb secure by [fastening a cord from] the stone [that was in front of the entrance to the rock cliff on each side] and sealing it. They also [left some soldiers there to] guard [the tomb].
