Mateusza 8
1 A gdy zszedł z góry, poszło za nim mnóstwo ludzi.
When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
2 A oto trędowaty podszedł i oddał mu pokłon, mówiąc: Panie, jeśli chcesz, możesz mnie oczyścić.
[After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
3 Jezus wyciągnął rękę i dotknął go, mówiąc: Chcę, bądź oczyszczony. I natychmiast został oczyszczony z trądu.
Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
4 Wtedy Jezus powiedział do niego: Uważaj, abyś nikomu nie mówił, ale idź, pokaż się kapłanowi i ofiaruj dar, który nakazał Mojżesz, na świadectwo [dla] nich.
Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
5 A gdy Jezus wszedł do Kafarnaum, przyszedł do niego setnik i prosił go:
When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
6 Panie, mój sługa leży w domu sparaliżowany i bardzo cierpi.
He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
7 I powiedział mu Jezus: Przyjdę i uzdrowię go.
Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
8 Lecz setnik odpowiedział: Panie, nie jestem godny, abyś wszedł pod mój dach, ale powiedz tylko słowo, a mój sługa będzie uzdrowiony.
But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
9 Bo i ja jestem człowiekiem podległym władzy i mam pod sobą żołnierzy. Mówię jednemu: Idź, a idzie; a drugiemu: Chodź tu, a przychodzi; a memu słudze: Zrób to, a robi.
I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
10 A gdy Jezus to usłyszał, zdziwił się i powiedział do tych, którzy szli za nim: Zaprawdę powiadam wam: Nawet w Izraelu nie znalazłem tak wielkiej wiary.
When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
11 A mówię wam: Wielu przyjdzie ze wschodu i z zachodu i zasiądą za stołem z Abrahamem, Izaakiem i Jakubem w królestwie niebieskim.
I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
12 Lecz synowie królestwa będą wyrzuceni do ciemności zewnętrznych. Tam będzie płacz i zgrzytanie zębów.
But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
13 I powiedział Jezus setnikowi: Idź, a jak uwierzyłeś, tak niech ci się stanie. I o tej godzinie jego sługa został uzdrowiony.
Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
14 A gdy Jezus przyszedł do domu Piotra, zobaczył jego teściową, która leżała w gorączce.
When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
15 Dotknął więc jej ręki i opuściła ją gorączka. Ona zaś wstała i usługiwała im.
He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
16 Kiedy nastał wieczór, przyprowadzono do niego wielu opętanych. A on wypędził duchy słowem i uzdrowił wszystkich chorych;
That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
17 Aby się wypełniło, co zostało powiedziane przez proroka Izajasza: On nasze słabości wziął [na siebie] i nosił nasze choroby.
By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
18 A Jezus, widząc wokół siebie mnóstwo ludzi, kazał przeprawić się na drugi brzeg.
Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
19 Wtedy podszedł pewien uczony w Piśmie i powiedział do niego: Mistrzu, pójdę za tobą, dokądkolwiek pójdziesz.
[As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
20 I powiedział mu Jezus: 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 him], 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 [MTY].”
21 A inny spośród jego uczniów powiedział do niego: Panie, pozwól mi najpierw pójść i pogrzebać mego ojca.
Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
22 Ale Jezus mu odpowiedział: Pójdź za mną, a umarli niech grzebią swoich umarłych.
But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
23 Gdy wsiadł do łodzi, weszli za nim i jego uczniowie.
Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
24 A oto zerwała się na morzu wielka burza, tak że fale zalewały łódź. On zaś spał.
Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
25 A jego uczniowie, podszedłszy, obudzili go, mówiąc: Panie, ratuj nas! Giniemy!
They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
26 I powiedział do nich: Czemu się boicie, ludzie małej wiary? Potem wstał, zgromił wichry i morze i nastała wielka cisza.
He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
27 A ludzie dziwili się i mówili: Cóż to za człowiek, że nawet wichry i morze są mu posłuszne?
[As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
28 Kiedy przeprawił się na drugą stronę do krainy Gerazeńczyków, zabiegli mu [drogę] dwaj opętani, którzy wyszli z grobowców, tak bardzo groźni, że nikt nie mógł przechodzić tą drogą.
When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
29 I zaczęli krzyczeć: Cóż my mamy z tobą, Jezusie, Synu Boży? Przyszedłeś tu przed czasem dręczyć nas?
Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
30 Z dala od nich pasło się wielkie stado świń.
There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
31 Demony więc prosiły go: Jeśli nas wypędzasz, pozwól nam wejść w to stado świń.
So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
32 I powiedział im: Idźcie. A one, wyszedłszy, weszły w to stado świń. Naraz całe stado ruszyło pędem po urwisku do morza i zginęło w wodach.
Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
33 A pasterze uciekli i poszedłszy do miasta, opowiedzieli wszystko, także to, [co się stało] z opętanymi.
The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
34 Wówczas całe miasto wyszło Jezusowi na spotkanie, a ujrzawszy go, prosili, aby odszedł z ich granic.
Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
