Jan 12
1 Tedy Ježíš šestý den před velikonocí přišel do Betany, kdež byl Lazar ten, kterýž byl umřel, jehož vzkřísil z mrtvých.
Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead, was living.
2 I připravili jemu tu večeři, a Marta posluhovala, Lazar pak byl jeden z stolících s ním.
There a supper was given in his honour at which Martha waited, while Lazarus was one of those present at the table.
3 Maria pak vzavši libru masti drahé z nardu výborného, pomazala noh Ježíšových, a vytřela vlasy svými nohy jeho. I naplněn jest dům vůní té masti.
So Mary took a pound of choice spikenard perfume of great value, and anointed the feet of Jesus with it, and then wiped them with her hair. The whole house was filled with the scent of the perfume.
4 Tedy řekl jeden z učedlníků jeho, Jidáš Šimona Iškariotského, kterýž jej měl zraditi:
One of the disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was about to betray Jesus, asked,
5 Proč tato mast není prodána za tři sta peněz, a není dáno chudým?
‘Why was not this perfume sold for a year’s wages, and the money given to poor people?’
6 To pak řekl, ne že by měl péči o chudé, ale že zloděj byl, a měšec měl, a to, což do něho kladeno bylo, nosil.
He said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and, being in charge of the purse, used to take what was put in it.
7 Tedy řekl Ježíš: Nech jí, ke dni pohřbu mého zachovala to.
‘Leave her alone,’ said Jesus, ‘so that she may keep it until the day when my body is being prepared for burial.
8 Nebo chudé vždycky máte s sebou, ale mne ne vždycky míti budete.
The poor you always have with you, but you will not always have me.’
9 Zvěděl pak zástup veliký z Židů, že by tu byl. I přišli, ne pro Ježíše toliko, ale také aby Lazara viděli, kteréhož byl vzkřísil z mrtvých.
Now great numbers of people found out that Jesus was at Bethany; and they came there, not only because of him, but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Radili se pak přední kněží, aby i Lazara zamordovali.
The chief priests, however, plotted to put Lazarus, as well as Jesus, to death,
11 Nebo mnozí z Židů odcházeli pro něho, a uvěřili v Ježíše.
because it was owing to him that many of the people had left them, and were becoming believers in Jesus.
12 Nazejtří mnohý zástup, kterýž byl přišel k svátku, když uslyšeli, že Ježíš jde do Jeruzaléma,
On the following day great numbers of people who had come to the Festival, hearing that Jesus was on his way to Jerusalem, took palm branches,
13 Nabrali ratolestí palmových, a vyšli proti němu, a volali: Hosanna, požehnaný, kterýž se béře ve jménu Páně, král Izraelský.
and went out to meet him, shouting as they went, ‘God save him! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord – the king of Israel!’
14 I dostav Ježíš oslátka, vsedl na ně, jakož psáno jest:
Having found a young donkey, Jesus seated himself on it, in accordance with the passage of scripture –
15 Neboj se, dcero Sionská, aj, král tvůj béře se, na oslátku sedě.
“Fear not, people of Zion. Your king is coming to you, sitting on the foal of a donkey.”
16 Tomu pak nesrozuměli učedlníci jeho sprvu, ale když oslaven byl Ježíš, tedy se rozpomenuli, že to psáno bylo o něm, a že jemu to učinili.
His disciples did not understand all this at first; but, when Jesus had been exalted, then they remembered that these things had been said of him in scripture, and that they had done these things for him.
17 Vydával pak svědectví zástup, kterýž byl s ním, že Lazara povolal z hrobu, a vzkřísil jej z mrtvých.
Meanwhile the people who were with him, when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead, were telling what they had seen.
18 Protož i v cestu vyšel jemu zástup, když slyšeli, že by ten div učinil.
This, indeed, was why the crowd met him – because people had heard that he had given this sign of his mission.
19 Tedy farizeové pravili mezi sebou: Vidíte-li, že nic neprospíváte? Aj, svět postoupil po něm.
So the Pharisees said to one another, ‘You see that you are gaining nothing! Why, all the world has run after him!’
20 Byli pak někteří Řekové z těch, kteříž přicházívali, aby se modlili v svátek.
Among those who were going up to worship at the Festival were some Greeks,
21 Ti tedy přistoupili k Filipovi, kterýž byl od Betsaidy Galilejské, a prosili ho, řkouce: Pane, chtěli bychom Ježíše viděti.
who went to Philip of Bethsaida in Galilee, and said, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’
22 Přišel Filip a pověděl Ondřejovi, Ondřej pak zase a Filip pověděli Ježíšovi.
Philip went and told Andrew, and then together they went and told Jesus.
23 A Ježíš odpověděl jim, řka: Přišlať hodina, aby oslaven byl Syn člověka.
This was his reply – ‘The time has come for the Son of Man to be exalted.
24 Amen, amen pravím vám: Zrno pšeničné padna v zemi, neumře-li, onoť samo zůstane, a pakliť umře, mnohý užitek přinese.
In truth I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains solitary; but, if it dies, it becomes fruitful.
25 Kdož miluje duši svou, ztratíť ji; a kdož nenávidí duše své na tomto světě, k životu věčnému ostříhá jí. (aiōnios g166)
A person who loves their life loses it; while someone who hates their life in the present world will preserve it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Slouží-li mi kdo, následujž mne; a kdež jsem já, tuť i můj služebník bude. A bude-li mi kdo sloužiti, poctíť ho Otec.
If someone is ready to serve me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If a person is ready to serve me, my Father will honour them.
27 Nyní duše má zkormoucena jest, a což dím? Otče, vysvoboď mne z této hodiny. Ale proto jsem přišel k hodině této.
Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour – yet it was for this reason that I came to this hour –
28 Otče, oslaviž jméno své. Tedy přišel hlas s nebe: I oslavil jsem, i ještě oslavím.
Father, honour your own name.’ At this there came a voice from heaven, which said, ‘I have already honoured it, and I will honour it again.’
29 Ten pak zástup, kterýž tu stál a slyšel, pravil: Zahřmělo. Jiní pravili: Anděl k němu mluvil.
The crowd of bystanders, who heard the sound, said that it was thundering. Others said, ‘An angel has been speaking to him.’
30 Odpověděl Ježíš a řekl: Ne pro mneť hlas tento se stal, ale pro vás.
‘It was not for my sake that the voice came,’ said Jesus, ‘but for yours.
31 Nyníť jest soud světa tohoto, nyní kníže světa tohoto vyvrženo bude ven.
Now this world is on its trial. Now the Spirit that is ruling this world will be driven out;
32 A já budu-liť povýšen od země, všecky potáhnu k sobě.
and I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.’
33 (To pak pověděl, znamenaje, kterou by smrtí měl umříti.)
By these words he indicated what death he was destined to die.
34 Odpověděl jemu zástup: My jsme slýchali z zákona, že Kristus zůstává na věky, a kterakž ty pravíš, že musí býti povýšen Syn člověka? Kdo jest to Syn člověka? (aiōn g165)
‘We,’ replied the people, ‘have learned from the Law that the Christ is to remain for ever; how is it, then, that you say that the Son of Man must be “lifted up” Who is this “Son of Man”?’ (aiōn g165)
35 Tedy řekl jim Ježíš: Ještě na malý čas světlo s vámi jest. Choďte, dokud světlo máte, ať vás tma nezachvátí; nebo kdo chodí ve tmách, neví, kam jde.
‘Only a little while longer,’ answered Jesus, ‘will you have the light among you. Travel on while you have the light, so that darkness may not overtake you; he who travels in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Dokud světlo máte, věřte v světlo, abyste synové světla byli. Toto pověděl Ježíš, a odšed, skryl se před nimi.
While you still have the light, believe in the light, so that you may be children of light.’ After he had said this, Jesus went away, and hid himself from them.
37 A ačkoli tak mnohá znamení činil před nimi, však neuvěřili v něho,
But, though Jesus had given so many signs of his mission before their eyes, they still did not believe in him,
38 Aby se naplnila řeč Izaiáše proroka, kterouž pověděl: Pane, kdo uvěřil kázaní našemu, a rámě Páně komu jest zjeveno?
in fulfilment of the words of the prophet Isaiah, where he says – “Lord, who has believed our teaching? And to whom has the might of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Protoť nemohli věřiti, že opět Izaiáš řekl:
The reason why they were unable to believe is given by Isaiah elsewhere, in these words –
40 Oslepil oči jejich, a zatvrdil srdce jejich, aby očima neviděli, a srdcem nerozuměli, a neobrátili se, abych jich neuzdravil.
“He has blinded their eyes, and blunted their mind, so that they should not see with their eyes, and perceive with their mind, and turn – And I should heal them.”
41 To pověděl Izaiáš, když viděl slávu jeho, a mluvil o něm.
Isaiah said this, because he saw Christ’s glory; and it was of him that he spoke.
42 A ačkoli mnozí i z knížat uvěřili v něho, však pro farizee nevyznávali, aby ze školy nebyli vyobcování.
Yet for all this, even among the leading men there were many who came to believe in Jesus; but, because of the Pharisees, they did not acknowledge it, because they were afraid that they should be expelled from their synagogues;
43 Nebo milovali slávu lidskou více než slávu Boží.
for they valued honour from people more than honour from God.
44 Ježíš pak zvolal a řekl: Kdo věří ve mne, ne ve mneť věří, ale v toho, kterýž mne poslal.
But Jesus had proclaimed, ‘He who believes in me believes, not in me, but in him who sent me;
45 A kdož vidí mne, vidí toho, kterýž mne poslal.
and he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Já světlo na svět jsem přišel, aby žádný, kdož věří ve mne, ve tmě nezůstal.
I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who believes in me should remain in the darkness.
47 A slyšel-liť by kdo slova má, a nevěřil by, jáť ho nesoudím; nebo nepřišel jsem, abych soudil svět, ale abych spasil svět.
When anyone hears my teaching and pays no heed to it, I am not his judge; for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Kdož mnou pohrdá, a nepřijímá slov mých, máť, kdo by jej soudil. Slova, kteráž jsem mluvil, tať jej souditi budou v nejposlednější den.
He who rejects me, and disregards my teaching, has a judge already – the message which I have delivered will itself be his judge at the Last day.
49 Nebo já sám od sebe jsem nemluvil, ale ten, kterýž mne poslal, Otec, on mi přikázaní dal, co bych měl praviti a mluviti.
For I have not delivered it on my own authority; but the Father, who sent me, has himself given me his command as to what I should say, and what message I should deliver.
