John 15
1 [Jesus talked to us as we were walking along. Speaking figuratively of the need for us to live in a way that God wants us to, he said], “I am like [MET] a genuine vine, [not like those Jewish leaders who do not teach the truth]. My father is like [MET] a gardener who [works to] take care of a vineyard.
„Jsem kmen vinné révy a můj Otec je vinařem.
2 [Just like a gardener] cuts off the branches that bear no grapes [MET], [God gets rid of those who do not please him even though they say that they belong to him]. Those branches that bear fruit, [the gardener] trims so that they may bear more grapes. [Similarly, my Father disciplines/corrects those who live as he wants them to live].
Odřezává plané výhonky a plodné očišťuje, aby nesly větší úrodu.
3 You are already [like] the branches [that a gardener] trims because [you have believed] the message that I have told you.
I vás očistil, a to mým poselstvím.
4 Remain having a close relationship with me. [If you do that], I will remain having a close relationship with you. A branch [of a vine] cannot bear fruit [if it is cut off and left] by itself. To bear fruit, it must remain attached to the vine. Similarly, you cannot [live the way that God wants you to] if you do not remain united to me [MET].
Zůstaňte ve spojení se mnou. Vždyť výhonek oddělený od kmene nemůže nést žádné ovoce; právě tak je to i s vámi.
5 I am [like] [MET] a vine. You are [like] [MET] the branches. All those who have a close relationship with me and with whom I have a close relationship will [do much that pleases God, like] [MET] [a vine that] bears much fruit. [Remember that] you can do nothing [HYP] [that truly pleases God] without my [help].
Já jsem vinný kmen a vy jste výhonky. Proto jen v těsném spojení se mnou prožijete plodný život. Beze mne to nedokážete.
6 [A gardener cuts off and] throws away useless branches. Then, after they dry up, [he] picks them up and throws them into a fire and burns them [SIM]. Similarly, everyone who does not remain having a close relationship with me, [God] will get rid of.
Kdo žije beze mne, bude jako planý výhonek odříznut, uschne a bude spálen.
7 If you remain having a close relationship with me and you keep [living in accordance with] my message, you can ask [God to do] anything for you, and he will do it.
Zůstanete-li se mnou spojeni a nepřestane-li na vás působit mé poselství, pak dostanete všechno, o co v modlitbě požádáte.
8 The way my Father is honored is by your {The way you honor my Father is by} doing much that pleases him [MET], and by doing that, you will show that you are my disciples.
Když povedete plodný život jako moji učedníci, vzdáte tím čest Bohu.
9 I have loved you just as [my] Father has loved me. Now keep living in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] I love.
Miluji vás tak, jako mne miluje Otec.
10 If you obey what I have commanded you, you will be acting in [a way that is appropriate for those whom] I love, just like I have obeyed what my Father has commanded me and I act [in a way that is appropriate for someone] whom he loves.
Jste-li se mnou spojeni poslušností mých příkazů, proudí do vás Boží láska jako životodárná míza. Právě tak jsem já spojen poslušností s Otcem a naplněn jeho láskou.
11 I have told you these things so that you may be joyful as I [am joyful], and that you may be completely joyful.
Raduji se z toho a chci, abyste se i vy mohli vždycky plně radovat.
12 What I am commanding you is this: Love each other just like I have loved you.
Přikazuji vám, abyste se vzájemně milovali tak, jako jsem já miloval vás.
13 The best way that people can show that they love someone is to die for that person. There is no way that you can love someone in a greater way than that.
Největší lásku přátelům prokáže ten, kdo za ně položí vlastní život.
14 You [show that you] are my friends if you keep doing what I have commanded you.
Zůstanete mými přáteli, budete-li jednat v souladu se mnou.
15 I will no longer call you my servants, because servants do not know [why] their masters [want them to] do things. Instead, I have said that you are my friends, because I, [acting like a friend], have revealed to you everything that my Father told me.
Nejste už mými sluhy, protože sluha se nevyzná v úmyslu svého pána. Řekl jsem vám s důvěrou vše, co vím od Otce, a proto jste se stali mými přáteli.
16 You did not decide to become my [disciples]. Instead, I chose you, so that you would do many things that please him [MET]. The results of what you do will last [forever]. I also chose you so that [my] Father will do for you whatever you, using my authority, ask him to do [MTY].
Já jsem si vybral vás, ne vy mne. Vybavil jsem vás k tomu, abyste žili plodný život, který by před Bohem obstál. Proste a Otec vám to dá.
17 [I repeat what] I have commanded you: Love each other.”
Usilujte především o vzájemnou lásku.
18 “The people who are opposed to God will hate you. When that happens, remember that they hated me first.
Lidé vás budou nenávidět, ale vzpomeňte si, že mne nenáviděli dříve než vás.
19 If you belonged to those who are opposed to God [MTY], they would love [you like they love] those who belong to them. But you do not belong to those who are opposed to God [MTY]. Instead, I chose you so that you would separate yourselves from [MTY] them. That is why those who are opposed to God [MTY] hate you.
Milovali by vás, kdybyste se přizpůsobili. Vy mezi ně ale nepatříte, protože já jsem si vás vyvolil. Vyvedl jsem vás ze světa a oni vás za to nenávidí.
20 Remember these words that I told you: ‘No servant is greater than his master.’ [That means that you, who are like my servants, cannot expect people to treat you better than they treat me]. So, since they have (persecuted me/caused me to suffer), they will (persecute you/cause you to suffer) also. If they had paid attention to the things I taught them, they would pay attention to what you teach them.
Připomeňte si slova, která jsem vám už jednou řekl: sluha není větší než jeho pán. Jestliže pronásledují mne, jak by nepronásledovali vás! Když chytali za slovo mne, budou číhat i na vás.
21 They will treat you like that because you [belong to] me [MTY], and because they do not know the one who sent me.
To všechno vám budou dělat proto, že nevěří, že za mnou i za vámi stojí Bůh.
22 If I had not come and spoken [God’s message] to them, they would not be guilty [of rejecting me and my message]. But now [I have come and told them God’s message, so] they will have no excuse [when God judges them] for their sin.
Kdybych byl nepřišel a nemluvil k nim, byli by bez viny. Teď jsou však bez výmluvy.
23 All those who hate me, [it is as though] they hate my Father as well.
Ti, kdo mnou pohrdají, pohrdají Bohem.
24 If I had not done among them the [miracles] that no one else ever did, they would not be guilty of the sin [of rejecting me]. But now, [although] they have seen [those miracles], they have hated both me and my Father.
Usvědčuje je moje dílo, které nemá obdoby. Mají je před očima, a přece se zatvrdili proti mně i Otci. Však je o nich psáno v Písmu: ‚Nenáviděli mne bez důvodu.‘
25 But this has happened in order that these words that have been written in their Scriptures might be fulfilled {to fulfill this that [(someone/the Psalmist]) wrote in their Scriptures}: ‘They hated me for no reason.’
26 [Later] I will send to you from [my] Father the one who will (encourage/be like a legal counsel for) you. He is the Spirit [who will teach you God’s] truth. He will come from my Father. He will tell people about me.
Pošlu vám zastánce od Otce – Ducha pravdy, který pochází z Otce. Ten dosvědčí, co vám říkám.
27 But you [disciples] must also tell people [about me], because you have been with me from the time when I started [my ministry] [MTY].”
Ale i vy budete mými svědky, protože mne všude provázíte.
