Ephesians 5
1 (Imitate/Behave like) God, because he loves you who are [as though you were] [SIM] his children.
Jednejte podle Božího příkladu a jako milované děti napodobujte svého Otce.
2 Do everything in a way that shows that you love [people], just like Christ loved us and willingly died for us. He offered himself [to God as a sacrifice] that was very pleasing to God, [just like Jewish priests offered] sweet-smelling [animal] sacrifices to God [MET].
Mějte k lidem takovou lásku, jakou má Kristus k vám: sám sebe obětoval Bohu za vaše hříchy. Z takové lásky se Bůh těší.
3 Do not commit any kind of immoral act [DOU], and do not desire more things than you need. Do not [act in such a way that others could] even (spread rumors/talk) about your acting in such ways, because it is not appropriate/fitting for God’s people to do such things.
Chamtivost, jakékoliv výstřednosti – a pohlavní zvlášť – ať vám nepřijdou ani na mysl, jak se sluší na Boží děti.
4 Do not use obscene/shameful language when you talk to people. Do not talk foolishly. Do not use vulgar/indecent language, because it is not appropriate/fitting that God’s people should talk like that. Instead, tell people how much you thank [God for all he does for you].
Stejně tak oplzlé vtipy, vulgární řeči a sprosté historky křesťanovi nesluší; naše ústa mají chválit Boha!
5 You can be sure of this: No person who is sexually immoral or who acts indecently/shamefully will be among those people whom God rules over [MET] [in heaven]. Neither will those who desire more things than they need. Such people worship their possessions [instead of worshipping God].
Pamatujte si, že do nového světa, kde vládne Bůh, nevstoupí žádný sprosťák ani nemrava, ba ani lakomec, který je ve své podstatě modlář, protože věcem dává přednost před Bohem.
6 Do not let anyone deceive you by suggesting that [God will really] not [punish people who commit such sins], because God certainly will punish [MTY] those who habitually disobey him [by doing such things].
Nenechte si namluvit, že to není nic tak strašného. Boží hněv proti lidem tohoto druhu je a bude hrozný!
7 So, do not commit the same kinds of deeds that such people do,
Proto se od nich držte co nejdál.
8 because formerly you [did not know God’s truth] [MET], [as those who] are in darkness [do not know what is around them]. But now [it is as though] you are in the light [MET] [because you know God’s truth] because of your relationship with the Lord [Jesus]. So do those things that those who know God’s truth [MET] should do.
Kdysi byla i ve vašem srdci tma, ale teď tam září Boží světlo
9 Keep in mind that [as] light [MET] causes [good things to grow], those who know God’s truth should do those things that are good, righteous, and honest.
a vaše vystupování to musí dokazovat. To světlo vás přece vede k dobrotě, spravedlnosti a pravdě.
10 And as [you do that], try (to find out/to discover) what pleases the Lord.
Zkoumejte, co se líbí Pánu,
11 Do not do the worthless deeds that the people (who are in [spiritual] darkness/who do not know God’s truth) [MET] do. Instead, let others know that those people’s deeds are worthless.
a nepodílejte se na činech zplozených tmou, naopak – pranýřujte je.
12 It is shameful for God’s people to even talk [among themselves about] those evil deeds that evil people do secretly and habitually.
Vždyť člověku je hanba o tom i mluvit, co všechno se potají páchá.
13 But when [God’s people rebuke those evil people about their deeds, it will be clear/evident how evil their deeds really are, just like] everything exposed to the light becomes visible {as light [MET] reveals everything [that we cannot see in the darkness]}.
Ale když se na ty věci veřejně posvítí, jejich pravá podstata se ozřejmí.
14 [Just like something on which a light shines reflects that light] [MET], [whoever has learned God’s truth reveals that truth to others]. That is why [we believers] say this: You who are not aware of your sins, become aware of them [MET]! It is as though you are sound asleep, so wake up! Be like dead people who are becoming alive again! Christ will cause you to know God’s truth, just like a light [MET] that shines causes people to know what is in the darkness.
Proto se říká: „Probuď se, ospalče, vstaň z mrtvých a zazáří ti Kristus.“
15 So be very careful how you behave. Do not behave as foolish people do. Instead, behave as wise people do.
Dávejte si dobrý pozor na to, jak žijete. Nebuďte lehkomyslní, ale moudří.
16 Use your time carefully, because these days [MTY] [people do] extremely evil [deeds].
Doba je vážná, a proto nejednejte bezmyšlenkovitě, ale ve všem se snažte rozpoznat a vyplnit Boží vůli.
17 So do not be foolish. Instead, understand what the Lord [Jesus] wants you to do, [and do it]!
18 Do not become drunk by drinking alcoholic drinks, since people are unable to control their behavior when they are drunk. Instead, let [God’s] Spirit control your [behavior] at all times [MTY].
Neholdujte alkoholu, číhá v něm mnohé nebezpečí,
19 Sing to each other (Psalms/songs [with words from the] Scriptures), sing [other] songs [that the congregation knows], and songs [that God’s] Spirit [gives you]. Sing these Psalms and other songs sincerely to [praise] the Lord [Jesus].
raději se nechte naplnit Duchem Božím. Ve vzájemných rozhovorech si připomínejte slova žalmů, chvalozpěvů a duchovních písní.
20 At all times thank God, who is our [heavenly] Father, for everything, especially for what the Lord Jesus Christ [MTY] [has done for you].
Zpívejte Pánu, chvalte ho z celého srdce a za všechno děkujte Bohu Otci, jak to činil Ježíš Kristus, náš Pán.
21 [Humbly] submit yourselves to each other because you reverence Christ, [who is our example].
Podvolujte se jeden druhému, to dělá Kristu čest. Manželky, vy se svým mužům podřizujte stejně, jako by to byl Kristus;
22 Because husbands have authority over [MET] their wives, just as all of us believers form one group [under the authority of] Christ, you women should submit yourselves to [the authority of your] husbands just as you submit yourselves to the Lord [Jesus]. He is the one who saves all his people [from the guilt of their sins].
muž totiž vede ženu, jako Kristus vede své tělo – církev, pro jejíž záchranu sám zemřel. Proto má žena svého muže poslouchat, jako církev poslouchá Krista.
24 Just like all believers submit themselves to [the authority of] Christ, the women must submit themselves completely to the [authority of] their husbands.
25 Each of you husbands, love your wife as Christ loved all of [us who would become] believers, with the result that he willingly died for our sake,
A vy, manželé, mějte své ženy rádi tak, jako Kristus miloval svou církev,
26 in order that he might (set us apart for himself/cause us to belong to him). That is, by [revealing his] message [to us], he wanted to [remove the guilt of our sin, just like people remove dirt from something] by washing it [MET].
když pro ni obětoval život,
27 [Christ did that] in order that he might cause all of us believers to be a glorious group of people that belong to him, people that do not have any moral flaws/imperfections, but instead might be completely pure [DOU] when he gathers us (to his presence/to himself).
aby ji učinil svatou a čistou Božím slovem a vodou při křtu. Tím si ji připravil slavnou, bez poskvrny a vrásky, svatou a bez kazu.
28 In the same way, each man should love his wife as he loves his own body. Men who love their wives, [it is as though] they love themselves.
Tak by měl zacházet i muž se svou manželkou a milovat ji jako vlastní tělo. Protože oba jsou teď jedním tělem, prokazuje milující manžel lásku sám sobě!
29 This is shown by the fact that no one ever hated his own body. Instead, he feeds his own body and cares for it, just like Christ also cares for all us believers. We have become one group of believers that belongs to him [MET].
Nikdo přece nemá své tělo v nenávisti, ale s láskou o ně pečuje, stejně jako Kristus pečuje o tělo církve, jehož jsme údy.
31 [What someone has written in the Scriptures about people who marry is this], [When] a man and [a] woman [marry], they should ([permanently] leave/no longer live with) their fathers and mothers. They should be joined [as husband and] wife, and the two of them shall become [as though they were] one [MET] person.
Že muž a jeho manželka tvoří jedno tělo, říká jasně Písmo: „Proto muž, když se ožení, připojí se ke své ženě a stanou se jednou bytostí.“
32 It is very difficult to understand the meaning of these things that God has now revealed to me, but [I am telling you that] those words [also] refer to [the relationship between] Christ and all those who belong to him.
Je to snad těžké k pochopení ale takovým způsobem jsme i my částmi Kristova těla.
33 However, as for you(pl), each man must love his wife just as he loves himself, and each woman must respect her husband.
Proto znovu říkám: muž má svou ženu milovat jako sebe sama a žena má svého manžela mít v úctě.
