Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
A gdy przebywał w jakimś miejscu na modlitwie i skończył [ją], jeden z jego uczniów powiedział do niego: Panie, naucz nas się modlić, tak jak i Jan nauczył swoich uczniów.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
I powiedział do nich: Gdy się modlicie, mówcie: Ojcze nasz, który jesteś w niebie, niech będzie uświęcone twoje imię. Niech przyjdzie twoje królestwo. Niech się dzieje twoja wola na ziemi, tak jak w niebie.
3 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
Dawaj nam każdego dnia naszego powszedniego chleba.
4 Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
Przebacz nam nasze grzechy, bo i my przebaczamy każdemu, kto przeciwko nam zawinił. I nie wystawiaj nas na pokusę, ale wybaw nas od złego.
5 Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
I powiedział do nich: Któż z was, mając przyjaciela, pójdzie do niego o północy i powie mu: Przyjacielu, pożycz mi trzy chleby;
6 Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
Mój przyjaciel bowiem przyszedł do mnie z drogi, a nie mam mu co podać?
7 Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
A on z wewnątrz odpowie: Nie naprzykrzaj mi się. Drzwi są już zamknięte i moje dzieci są ze mną w łóżku. Nie mogę wstać i dać ci.
8 I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
Mówię wam: Chociażby nie wstał i nie dał mu dlatego, że jest jego przyjacielem, jednak z powodu jego natarczywości wstanie i da mu, ile potrzebuje.
9 So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
I ja wam mówię: Proście, a będzie wam dane, szukajcie, a znajdziecie, pukajcie, a będzie wam otworzone.
10 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
Każdy bowiem, kto prosi, otrzymuje, a kto szuka, znajduje, a temu, kto puka, będzie otworzone.
11 If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
I czy jest wśród was ojciec, który, gdy syn prosi go o chleb, da mu kamień? Albo [gdy prosi] o rybę, czy zamiast ryby da mu węża?
12 If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
Albo gdy prosi o jajko, czy da mu skorpiona?
13 Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
Jeśli więc wy, będąc złymi, umiecie dawać dobre dary waszym dzieciom, o ileż bardziej wasz Ojciec niebieski da Ducha Świętego tym, którzy go proszą?
14 [One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
I wypędzał demona, który był niemy. A gdy demon wyszedł, niemy przemówił, a ludzie się dziwili.
15 But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
Lecz niektórzy z nich mówili: Przez Belzebuba, władcę demonów, wypędza demony.
16 Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
Inni zaś, wystawiając [go] na próbę, żądali od niego znaku z nieba.
17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
Ale on, znając ich myśli, powiedział do nich: Każde królestwo podzielone wewnętrznie pustoszeje, a dom [skłócony] sam ze sobą upada.
18 [Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
Jeśli i szatan jest wewnętrznie podzielony, jakże przetrwa jego królestwo? Mówicie bowiem, że ja przez Belzebuba wypędzam demony.
19 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
A jeśli ja przez Belzebuba wypędzam demony, to przez kogo wypędzają wasi synowie? Dlatego oni będą waszymi sędziami.
20 But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
Ale jeśli ja palcem Bożym wypędzam demony, to istotnie przyszło do was królestwo Boże.
21 Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
Gdy uzbrojony mocarz strzeże swego pałacu, bezpieczne jest jego mienie.
22 But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
Lecz gdy mocniejszy od niego nadejdzie i zwycięży go, zabiera całą jego broń, na której polegał, i rozdaje jego łupy.
23 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
Kto nie jest ze mną, jest przeciwko mnie, a kto nie zbiera ze mną, rozprasza.
24 [Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
Gdy duch nieczysty wychodzi z człowieka, przechadza się po miejscach bezwodnych, szukając odpoczynku, a gdy nie znajduje, mówi: Wrócę do mego domu, skąd wyszedłem.
25 So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
A przyszedłszy, zastaje [go] zamiecionym i przyozdobionym.
26 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
Wtedy idzie i bierze ze sobą siedem innych duchów, gorszych niż on sam, i wszedłszy, mieszkają tam. I końcowy [stan] tego człowieka staje się gorszy niż pierwszy.
27 When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
A gdy on to mówił, pewna kobieta spośród zgromadzonych powiedziała do niego donośnym głosem: Błogosławione łono, które cię nosiło, i piersi, które ssałeś!
28 But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
On zaś odpowiedział: Błogosławieni [są] raczej ci, którzy słuchają słowa Bożego i strzegą go.
29 When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
A gdy ludzie się gromadzili, zaczął mówić: Pokolenie to jest złe. Żąda znaku, ale [żaden] znak nie będzie mu dany, oprócz znaku proroka Jonasza.
30 [After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
Jak bowiem Jonasz [był] znakiem dla mieszkańców Niniwy, tak będzie i Syn Człowieczy dla tego pokolenia.
31 [Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
Królowa z południa stanie na sądzie z ludźmi tego pokolenia i potępi ich, bo przybyła z krańców ziemi, aby słuchać mądrości Salomona, a oto tu [ktoś] więcej niż Salomon.
32 The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
Ludzie z Niniwy staną na sądzie z tym pokoleniem i potępią je, ponieważ pokutowali na skutek głoszenia Jonasza, a oto tu [ktoś] więcej niż Jonasz.
33 [Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
Nikt nie zapala świecy i nie stawia jej w ukryciu ani pod naczyniem, ale na świeczniku, aby ci, którzy wchodzą, widzieli światło.
34 Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
Światłem ciała jest oko. Jeśli więc twoje oko jest szczere, to i całe twoje ciało będzie pełne światła, a jeśli jest złe, to i twoje ciało będzie pełne ciemności.
35 Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
Uważaj więc, aby światło, które jest w tobie, nie było ciemnością.
36 If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
Jeśli zatem całe twoje ciało będzie pełne światła, nie mając [w sobie] żadnej ciemnej cząstki, całe będzie [tak] pełne światła, jak gdy świeca oświetla cię swoim blaskiem.
37 While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
Kiedy to mówił, pewien faryzeusz poprosił go, aby zjadł u niego obiad. Wszedł więc i usiadł [za stołem].
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
A faryzeusz, widząc to, dziwił się, że nie umył się przed obiadem.
39 The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
Wtedy Pan powiedział do niego: Teraz wy, faryzeusze, oczyszczacie to, co jest na zewnątrz kubka i misy, ale to, co jest wewnątrz was, pełne jest zdzierstwa i nieprawości.
40 You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
Głupcy, czyż ten, który uczynił to, co jest na zewnątrz, nie uczynił też tego, co jest wewnątrz?
41 Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
Raczej z tego, co jest wewnątrz, dawajcie jałmużnę, a wszystko będzie dla was czyste.
42 But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
Ale biada wam, faryzeusze, bo dajecie dziesięcinę z mięty, ruty i z każdego ziela, lecz opuszczacie sąd i miłość Boga. To należało czynić i tamtego nie opuszczać.
43 There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
Biada wam, faryzeusze, bo kochacie pierwsze miejsca w synagogach i pozdrowienia na rynkach.
44 There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
Biada wam, uczeni w Piśmie i faryzeusze, obłudnicy, bo jesteście jak groby, których nie widać, a ludzie, którzy chodzą po nich, nie wiedzą [o tym].
45 One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
I odezwał się jeden ze znawców prawa: Nauczycielu, mówiąc to, i nas znieważasz.
46 Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
A on powiedział: I wam, znawcom prawa, biada, bo obciążacie ludzi brzemionami nie do uniesienia, a sami nawet jednym palcem tych brzemion nie dotykacie.
47 There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
Biada wam, bo budujecie grobowce proroków, a wasi ojcowie ich pozabijali.
48 So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
Doprawdy świadczycie, że pochwalacie uczynki waszych ojców. Oni bowiem ich pozabijali, a wy budujecie ich grobowce.
49 So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
Dlatego też mądrość Boża powiedziała: Poślę do nich proroków i apostołów, a [niektórych] z nich będą zabijać i prześladować;
50 [As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
Aby dopominano się od tego pokolenia krwi wszystkich proroków, która została przelana od założenia świata;
51 starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
Od krwi Abla aż do krwi Zachariasza, który zginął między ołtarzem a świątynią. Doprawdy, mówię wam, dopominać się jej będą od tego pokolenia.
52 There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
Biada wam, znawcom prawa, bo zabraliście klucz poznania. Sami nie weszliście i tym, którzy chcieli wejść, przeszkodziliście.
53 After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
A gdy im to mówił, uczeni w Piśmie i faryzeusze zaczęli bardzo na niego nastawać i prowokować go do mówienia o wielu [rzeczach];
54 They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
Czyhając na niego i próbując wychwycić coś z jego słów, żeby go oskarżyć.
