Luke 18
1 [Jesus] told [his disciples] a parable to teach them that they always ought to pray confidently and not be discouraged [if God does not immediately answer their prayers].
Egy példázatot is mondott nekik arról, hogy mindig imádkozni kell, és nem szabad belefáradni.
2 He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who did not revere God, and did not care about people, either.
Ezt mondta: „Volt egy bíró egy városban, aki Istent nem félte, az embereket nem becsülte.
3 There was a widow in that city who kept coming to him, saying, ‘Please decide what is just [in the dispute between me and] the man who is opposing me [in court!’]
Abban a városban volt egy özvegyasszony is, aki elment hozzá, és ezt mondta: Szolgáltass nekem igazságot ellenfelemmel szemben.
4 For a long time the judge refused [to help her]. But later he thought to himself, ‘I do not revere God and I do not care about people,
Az egy ideig nem akarta, de azután ezt mondta magában: Noha Istent nem félem, az embereket sem becsülöm,
5 but this widow keeps bothering me! So I will make sure that she is treated justly. [If I do not do that], she will exhaust me by continually coming to me!’”
mégis mivel terhemre van nekem ez az özvegyasszony, igazságot szolgáltatok neki, hogy ne járjon ide, és ne gyötörjön engem.“
6 Then the Lord [Jesus] said, “[Even though] the judge was not a righteous man, think carefully about what he said!
Ezt mondta az Úr: „Halljátok, mit mond a hamis bíró?
7 [Similarly], (God will certainly show that [what you] have done has been right!/will God not show that [what you] have done has been right?) [RHQ] He will do this for you whom he has chosen. [He will do this for you] who pray earnestly to him night and day, asking him to [help you]. He may delay [helping you].
Vajon Isten nem szolgáltat-e igazságot az ő választottainak, akik hozzá kiáltanak éjjel és nappal? És várakoztatja-e őket?
8 But I tell you, [some day] he will show that what you did was right, and he will do it quickly. But when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, (there may not be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)./will there be [many people who will still] be trusting [that I will vindicate them] (OR, who will still be trusting in me)?) [RHQ]”
Mondom néktek, hogy igazságot szolgáltat nekik hamar. De amikor eljön az Emberfia, talál-e hitet a földön?“
9 [Jesus] also told a parable [to warn] people who mistakenly thought that they were doing things that made them acceptable to God. Besides, they also despised other people.
Némelyeknek, akik elbizakodtak, hogy ők igazak, és a többieket semmibe se vették, ezt a példázatot mondta:
10 [He said this]: “Two men went up to the Temple [in Jerusalem] to pray. One was a Pharisee. The other was a tax collector.
„Két ember ment a templomba imádkozni. Az egyik farizeus, és a másik vámszedő.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed silently, ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men. [Some] extort money [from others]; some treat others unjustly; some commit adultery. [I do not do such things. And I am certainly not] like this tax collector [who cheats people]!
A farizeus megállt, és így imádkozott magában: Isten! Hálát adok neked, hogy nem vagyok olyan, mint a többi ember, rabló, gonosz, parázna, vagy mint ez a vámszedő is.
12 [Our law says that we(exc) should] (fast/abstain from food) [once a week], [but I do more than that. I] fast twice a week! I give [you] ten percent of all that I earn!’
Böjtölök kétszer egy héten, tizedet adok mindenből, amit szerzek.
13 But the tax collector stood far [from the other people in the Temple courtyard because he felt very unworthy]. He would not even look up toward heaven. Instead, he beat on his chest [to show that he was sorry for his sin]. He said, ‘God, I am a sinner; be merciful to me [and forgive me]!’”
A vámszedő pedig távol állva, még szemét sem akarta az égre emelni, hanem mellét verte, és ezt mondta: Isten, légy irgalmas nekem, bűnösnek.
14 [Then Jesus said], “I tell you [(pl)] that as the tax collector went home, the record of his sins was erased {[God] erased the record of his sins}, not that of the Pharisee. [Remember this]: Those who exalt themselves will be humbled {[God] will humble all those who exalt themselves}, but those who humble themselves will be exalted {[he] will exalt those who humble themselves}.”
Mondom nektek, ez megigazulva ment haza, nem úgy, mint amaz. Mert aki felmagasztalja magát, megaláztatik, aki pedig megalázza magát, felmagasztaltatik.“
15 [One day when many people were coming to Jesus], they were also bringing small children. They wanted him to put his hands on [the children and bless them]. When the disciples saw that, they rebuked [those who were bringing those children].
Kisgyermekeket is vittek hozzá, hogy kezét rájuk tegye. Amikor a tanítványok ezt látták, rájuk szóltak.
16 But Jesus called the children [to come to him]. He said to his disciples, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are who can experience God ruling [their lives].
De Jézus magához hívta őket, és ezt mondta: „Engedjétek, hogy a kisgyermekek hozzám jöjjenek, és ne tiltsátok el őket, mert ilyeneké az Isten országa.
17 Note this: Those who do not [trust God and] allow him to direct [their lives], as children [do], will not enter the [MET] place where God rules.”
Bizony mondom néktek, aki nem úgy fogadja Isten országát, mint gyermek, semmiképpen nem megy be abba.“
18 A [Jewish] leader asked [Jesus], “Good teacher, what shall I do in order to have eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Egy előkelő ember megkérdezte őt: Jó Mester, mit cselekedjem, hogy az örök életet elnyerjem? (aiōnios g166)
19 Jesus said to him, “Only God is good! No one [else] is good! (So you(sg) should consider carefully what [you are implying by] calling me good!/[Do you realize that you are implying that I am God by] calling me good?) [RHQ]
Jézus ezt mondta neki: „Miért mondasz engem jónak? Senki sem jó, csak egy, az Isten.
20 [But to answer your question], you [(sg)] know the commandments that [God gave Moses. He commanded such things as] ‘do not commit adultery, do not commit murder, do not steal, do not testify falsely [about what you have seen or heard], honor your father and mother.’”
A parancsolatokat tudod: »Ne paráználkodj, ne ölj, ne lopj, hamis tanúbizonyságot ne tégy, tiszteld atyádat, anyádat!«“
21 The man said, “I have obeyed all those [commandments] ever since I was young. [So] ([there must be something else I have not done./is that enough]?)”
Ő pedig ezt mondta: „Mindezeket ifjúságomtól fogva megtartottam.“
22 When Jesus heard [him say] that, he replied to him, “There is one thing that you [(sg)] have not [done] yet. Sell all that you own. Then give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jézus ezt hallva, ezt mondta neki: „Még egy fogyatkozásod van: Add el minden vagyonodat, oszd szét a szegényeknek, és kincsed lesz a mennyben, jöjj, és kövess engem.“
23 The man became sad when he heard that, because he was very rich [and he did not want to give everything away].
Az pedig, amikor ezt meghallotta, elszomorodott, mert igen gazdag volt.
24 Jesus looked at the man [as he left], and said, “It is very difficult for those who are wealthy [to decide] to let God rule [MET] their [lives].
Amikor Jézus látta, hogy elszomorodott, ezt mondta: „Milyen nehezen mennek be Isten országába azok, akik gazdagok.
25 [You would say] that it is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Mert könnyebb a tevének a tű fokán átmenni, mint a gazdagnak Isten országába bejutni.“
26 [The Jews thought that God favored rich people, so they thought that if God did not save rich people, he would not save others, either]. So [one of the disciples] who heard him say that replied, “If that is so, it seems that no one will be saved {[that God] will not save anyone} [RHQ]!”
Akik pedig ezt hallották, ezt mondták: „Ki üdvözülhet akkor?“
27 But Jesus said, “It is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God can do anything!”
Ő pedig ezt mondta: „Ami embereknél lehetetlen, Istennél lehetséges!“
28 Then Peter said, “[You know that we(exc) have left] everything we had and have become your disciples [RHQ]. [So what about us?] (OR, [So will God accept/save us?]”)
Ekkor Péter így szólt: „Íme, mi mindent elhagytunk, és követtünk Téged!“
29 He said to them, “Keep this in mind: Those who have left [their] homes, [their] wives, [their] brothers, [their] parents, [their] children, [or any other family members], [to tell others] about how God wants to rule [MET] [people’s lives],
Ő pedig ezt mondta nekik: „Bizony mondom nektek, hogy senki sincs, aki elhagyta házát vagy szüleit, vagy testvéreit, vagy feleségét, vagy gyermekeit az Isten országáért,
31 [Jesus] took the twelve [disciples] to a place by themselves and said to them, “Listen carefully! We [(inc)] are [now] going up to Jerusalem. [While we are there], everything that has been written by the prophets {that the prophets have written} about [me], the one who came from heaven, will be fulfilled {will occur}.
Maga mellé vette a tizenkettőt, és ezt mondta nekik: „Íme, felmegyünk Jeruzsálembe, és beteljesedik minden az Emberfián, amit a próféták megírtak.
32 I will be put into the hands of {[My enemies] will hand me over to} non-Jews. [The non-Jews] will make fun of me and mistreat me and spit on me.
Mert a pogányok kezébe adják, megcsúfolják, meggyalázzák és megköpdösik,
33 They will whip me, and [then] they will kill me. But on the third day [after that] I will become alive again.”
és miután megostorozták, megölik, de harmadnap feltámad.“
34 But [the disciples] did not understand any of those things that [he said]. They were prevented {[Something] prevented them} from understanding the meaning of what [he] was telling [them].
Ők azonban ezekből semmit sem értettek. Ez a beszéd rejtve maradt előttük, és nem fogták fel a mondottakat.
35 As [Jesus and his disciples] came near to Jericho [city], a blind man was sitting beside the road. [He was] begging [for money].
Történt pedig, hogy amikor Jerikóhoz közeledett, egy vak ült az út mellett, és koldult.
36 When he heard the crowd [of people] passing by, he asked someone, “What is happening?”
És amikor hallotta a mellette elmenő sokaságot, kérdezősködött, hogy mi az.
37 They told him, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth [town], is passing by.”
Megmondták neki, hogy a názáreti Jézus megy arra.
38 He shouted, “Jesus, [you who are] descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Ekkor így kiáltott: „Jézus, Dávid Fia, könyörülj rajtam!“
39 Those who were [walking] at the front [of the crowd] scolded the man [and] told him to be quiet. But he shouted more loudly, “You who are descended from [King] David, [the Messiah], pity me!”
Akik pedig elől mentek, rászóltak, hogy hallgasson. De ő annál inkább kiáltott: „Dávid Fia, könyörülj rajtam!“
40 Jesus stopped and told [people] to bring the man to him. When [the blind man] came near, Jesus asked him,
Jézus megállt, és megparancsolta, hogy vigyék hozzá. Amikor közelébe ért, megkérdezte tőle:
41 “What do you [(sg)] want me to do for you?” He replied, “Lord, enable me to see [again]!”
„Mit akarsz, mit tegyek veled?“Az így szólt: „Uram, hogy a szemem világa megjöjjön.“
42 Jesus said to him, “[Then] see! Because you have trusted [PRS] [in me], [I] have healed you!”
Jézus ezt mondta neki: „Láss, a te hited téged megtartott!“
43 Immediately he was able to see! And he went with [Jesus], praising God. And when all the people who were [going with Jesus] saw it, they also praised God.
És azonnal megjött szeme világa, és követte őt, dicsőítve Istent. Az egész sokaság ezt látva dicsőséget adott Istennek.
