John 4
1 [At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
Stále více lidí se připojovalo k Ježíšovi a jeho učedníci je křtili.
3 When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
Aby zabránil případnému střetnutí s náboženskými vůdci, opustil Ježíš Judsko a vrátil se do Galileje.
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
Šel skrze Samařsko.
5 So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
Kolem poledne přišel k Jákobově studni u městečka Sychar.
6 The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
Jeho učedníci odešli do města nakoupit něco k jídlu. Ježíš si chtěl u studny odpočinout. Sotva usedl, jedna z místních žen přišla pro vodu. „Prosím tě, dej mi napít, “obrátil se na ni Ježíš.
9 so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
„Jak to, že žádáš službu od Samařanky, když jsi Žid?“(Mezi Židy a Samařany vládlo totiž napětí.)
10 Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
Ježíš jí odpověděl: „Kdybys věděla, kdo jsem a co ti nabízím, prosila bys ty mne, abych ti dal napít té životodárné vody.“
11 She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
„Vždyť nemáš žádnou nádobu! Jak chceš nabrat vodu z tak hluboké studny?“namítla žena.
12 Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
„Jsi snad mocnější, než byl náš praotec Jákob, který ji vyhloubil? Čerpal z ní vodu pro sebe, svou rodinu i svůj dobytek.“
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
Nato jí Ježíš odpověděl:
15 The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
„Pane, tu vodu mi dej ať už sem nemusím chodit, “prosila ho žena.
16 [Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
„Jdi a přiveď svého muže, “přikázal jí Ježíš.
17 She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
„Nemám muže, “odpověděla žena. „To máš pravdu, “řekl jí Ježíš.
18 It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
„Vystřídala jsi jich pět a ani ten, se kterým žiješ nyní, není tvůj muž.“
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
„Pane, vidím, že jsi prorok, “vyhrkla s údivem.
20 But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
„To bys mi mohl odpovědět, proč vy Židé považujete jen Jeruzalém za místo vhodné k uctívání Boha. Naši předkové se od nepaměti modlili na této hoře.“
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
Ježíš jí odpověděl: „Věř mi, blíží se doba, kdy lidé nebudou uctívat Boha ani v Jeruzalémě, ani na této hoře.
22 You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
My známe smysl naší bohoslužby, ale vy ho neznáte, protože Mesiáš vyjde ze Židů.
23 However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
Nastává však doba, kdy nebude záležet na tom, kde se kdo modlí, ale jak se modlí. Skuteční vyznavači budou ctít Otce upřímně a neformálně. O takové vyznavače Otci jde.
24 God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
Bůh je duchovní bytost a ti, kdo ho vzývají, mají tak činit opravdově a pod vedením Ducha svatého.“
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
„Vím, že přijde Mesiáš, “pravila žena, „ten nám všechno vysvětlí.“
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
„Ten Mesiáš jsem já, “řekl jí nato Ježíš.
27 Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
V té chvíli se učedníci vrátili z města a byli překvapeni, když Ježíše zastihli v rozhovoru se ženou. Neodvážili se však zeptat, proč s ní mluví.
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
Žena nechala své vědro ležet u studny a spěchala do města, kde řekla lidem:
29 “Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
„Pojďte se podívat na člověka, s nímž jsem se dosud nesetkala, a přesto o mně všechno ví. Není to snad Mesiáš?“
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
Lidé z města se tedy vydali za Ježíšem.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
Učedníci ho zatím pobízeli, aby se najedl.
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
On však odmítl: „Nebudu jíst. Mám jiný pokrm, který neznáte.“
33 So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
„Kdo mu přinesl jídlo?“říkali si.
34 Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
Ježíš je hned vyvedl z nejistoty: „Sytím se tím, že konám Boží vůli. Dokončit jeho dílo – to je můj pokrm.
35 [At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
Obilí bude zralé za čtyři měsíce, ale lidé jsou již zralí ke žni.
36 [If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
Ten, kdo bude sklízet a shromažďovat tuto úrodu pro věčnost, dostane za svou práci odměnu. A ten, kdo rozséval, bude se radovat spolu s ním. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
Neříká se nadarmo, že jeden zasévá a druhý žne.
38 I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
Já vás posílám sklízet pole, které jste neosévali. Jiní se před vámi lopotili a vy sbíráte výsledky jejich práce.“
39 Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
Na základě svědectví té ženy uvěřilo v Ježíše mnoho Samařanů ze Sychar.
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
Prosili ho, aby u nich zůstal. Zdržel se tam dva dny, mluvil k nim a jejich víra rostla.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
42 They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
Ženě řekli: „Teď už věříme ne pro to, co jsi o něm pověděla, ale slyšeli jsme ho a víme, že je opravdu Spasitel světa.“
43 Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
Po dvou dnech pokračoval Ježíš v cestě do Galileje.
I když doma nebývá nikdo ve vážnosti, přijali ho Galilejští velmi srdečně. I oni byli totiž o Velikonocích v Jeruzalémě a stali se tam svědky některých jeho zázraků.
45 However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
Když Ježíš procházel Galileou, zastavil se také v Káni, kde před nedávnem při svatbě proměnil vodu ve víno. Nedaleko odtud leželo město Kafarnaum. Zde žil jeden královský úředník, jehož syn těžce onemocněl.
47 When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
Jakmile se dověděl o Ježíšově návratu, hned ho vyhledal a prosil o pomoc. Žádal ho, aby s ním šel domů a vrátil zdraví umírajícímu synovi.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
Ježíš mu odpověděl: „Cožpak mi neuvěříte, pokud neuvidíte zázraky?“
49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
Královský úředník úpěnlivě prosil: „Pane, pojď hned se mnou, vždyť mi doma umírá syn.“
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
Ježíš mu však jen krátce řekl: „Vrať se domů. Tvůj syn je zdráv.“Úředník jeho slovům uvěřil a rychle spěchal domů.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
Již cestou potkal své sluhy, kteří mu běželi naproti se zprávou o synově uzdravení.
52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
Ten se jich dychtivě zeptal, v kterou dobu se jeho syn uzdravil. „Včera v jednu hodinu odpoledne mu přestala horečka, “odpověděli.
53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
Radostí naplněný otec si uvědomil, že právě v tu chvíli mu Ježíš řekl: „Tvůj syn je zdráv.“Po této události královský úředník uvěřil, že Ježíš je pravý Mesiáš. A uvěřila tomu i jeho rodina a všechno služebnictvo.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
Tak Ježíš učinil druhý zázrak v Galileji po svém návratu z Judska.
