Mark 12
1 Then Jesus told [those Jewish leaders] a parable. [He wanted to show what God would do to those who rejected the former prophets and himself. He said], “A certain man planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it [in order to protect it]. He made a stone tank [to collect the juice that] they would press [out of the grapes]. He also built a tower [for someone to sit in to guard his vineyard]. Then he leased the vineyard to some men to care for it and [to] give him some of the [grapes] in return. Then he went away to another country.
Wtedy zaczął do nich mówić w przypowieściach: [Pewien] człowiek założył winnicę, ogrodził ją płotem, wykopał prasę, zbudował wieżę i wydzierżawił ją rolnikom, i wyjechał.
2 When the time came to harvest the [grapes], he sent a servant to the men [who were taking care of the vineyard] in order to receive from them his share of the grapes that the vineyard had produced.
A gdy nadszedł czas, posłał do rolników sługę, aby odebrał od nich plony winnicy.
3 But [after the servant arrived], they grabbed him and beat him, and they did not give him any fruit. Then they sent him away.
Lecz oni schwytali go, pobili i odesłali z niczym.
4 Later the one who owned the vineyard sent another servant to them. But they beat that one on his head, and they insulted him.
I znowu posłał do nich innego sługę, którego ukamienowali, zranili w głowę i odesłali znieważonego.
5 Later he sent another servant. That man they killed. They mistreated many other servants [whom he sent]. Some they beat and some they killed.
Ponownie posłał innego [sługę], lecz i tego zabili. I wielu innych, z których jednych pobili, a innych pozabijali.
6 The man still had one other [person with him]. It was his son. He loved him very much. So, finally he sent his son to them because he thought that they would respect him [and give him some of the grapes].
A mając jeszcze jednego, swego umiłowanego syna, posłał do nich na koniec i jego, mówiąc: Uszanują mego syna.
7 But [when they saw his son coming], those men who were looking after the vineyard said to each other, ‘Look! Here comes the man who will some day inherit the vineyard! So let’s kill him in order that this vineyard will be ours!’
Ale rolnicy mówili między sobą: To jest dziedzic. Chodźmy, zabijmy go, a dziedzictwo będzie nasze.
8 They seized him and killed him. Then they threw his body outside the vineyard.
I schwytawszy go, zabili i wyrzucili z winnicy.
9 So (do you know what the man who owns the vineyard will do?/I will tell you what the man who owns the vineyard will do [RHQ]). He will come, and he will kill those evil men who were taking care of his vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.
Cóż więc zrobi pan winnicy? Przyjdzie i wytraci tych rolników, a winnicę odda innym.
10 [Now think carefully about these words], which you have read [in] the Scriptures: The men who were building the building rejected one stone. But others [put that same stone in its proper place, and] it has become the most important stone in the building [MET]!
Czy nie czytaliście tych [słów] Pisma: Kamień, który odrzucili budujący, stał się kamieniem węgielnym;
11 The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.”
Pan to sprawił i jest to cudowne w naszych oczach?
12 Then [the Jewish leaders] realized that he was accusing them when he told this story [about what those wicked people did]. So they wanted to seize him. But they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that]. So they left him and went away.
Starali się więc go schwytać, ale bali się ludu. Wiedzieli bowiem, że przeciwko nim powiedział tę przypowieść. Zostawili go więc i odeszli.
13 The [Jewish leaders] sent to [Jesus] some Pharisees [who thought that the Jews should pay only the tax that their own Jewish authorities required people to pay]. They also sent some members of the party that supported Herod [Antipas and the Roman government]. They wanted to make Jesus say something wrong [that would make one of those groups very angry with him].
Potem posłali do niego niektórych z faryzeuszy i herodianów, aby go pochwycili w mowie.
14 After they arrived, they said to him [deceivingly], “Teacher, we know that you [teach] the truth. We also know that you are not concerned about [what] people [say about you, even if an important person does not like what you say]. Instead, you teach truthfully what God wants [us to do]. So [tell us what you think about this matter: ] Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government, or not [MTY]? Should we pay the taxes, or should we not pay them?”
Gdy przyszli, powiedzieli mu: Nauczycielu, wiemy, że jesteś prawdziwy i nie zważasz na nikogo. Nie oglądasz się bowiem na osobę ludzką, ale drogi Bożej w prawdzie uczysz. Czy wolno płacić podatek cesarzowi, czy nie? Mamy go płacić czy nie płacić?
15 Jesus knew that they did not really want to know [what God wanted them to do]. So he said to them, “(I [know that] you are [just] trying to make me say something wrong for which you can arrest me./Why are you [just] trying to make me say something wrong for which you can arrest me?) [RHQ] [But I will answer your question anyway]. Bring me a coin so that I might [ask you something after] I look at it.”
A on poznał ich obłudę i powiedział do nich: Czemu wystawiacie mnie na próbę? Przynieście mi grosz, żebym [mógł] go zobaczyć.
16 After they brought him a coin, he asked them, “Whose picture is [on] this [coin]? And [whose] name [is on it]?” They replied, “It is a picture and the name of Caesar, [the man who rules the Roman government].”
I przynieśli [mu]. A on ich zapytał: Czyj to wizerunek i napis? Odpowiedzieli mu: Cesarza.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “[That is correct, so] give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].” They were [frustrated at his answer but] amazed at what he said, [because they were not able to accuse him of anything because of what he said].
Wtedy Jezus im powiedział: Oddawajcie więc cesarzowi to, co [należy do] cesarza, a co [należy do] Boga – Bogu. I podziwiali go.
18 [Men who belong to the] Sadducee [sect] deny that people become alive again after they die. [In order to discredit] Jesus [by ridiculing the idea that people will live again, some of] them came to him and asked him,
Potem przyszli do niego saduceusze, którzy mówią, że nie ma zmartwychwstania, i pytali go:
19 “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] that if a man who has no children dies, his brother should marry the dead man’s widow. [Then if those two bear children, everyone will consider that those children are the] children of the man who died, [and in that way the dead man will continue to have descendants].
Nauczycielu, Mojżesz nam napisał, że jeśli czyjś brat umrze i pozostawi żonę, a nie pozostawi dzieci, to jego brat ma ożenić się z jego żoną i wzbudzić potomstwo swemu bratu.
20 [So here is an example]. There were seven boys [in one family]. The oldest one married [a woman], but [he and his wife] did not bear any children. Then he [later] died.
Otóż było siedmiu braci. Pierwszy ożenił się i umarł, nie zostawiwszy potomstwa.
21 The second [brother followed this law and] married that woman and he, too, did not bear any children. Then he [later] died. The third [brother did] like [his other brothers did. But he also did not bear any children, and later died].
Potem ożenił się z nią drugi i umarł, lecz i ten nie zostawił potomstwa, tak samo trzeci.
22 Eventually all seven [brothers married that woman, one by one], but they had no children, and one by one they died. Afterwards the woman died, too.
I tak pojęło ją siedmiu braci, ale nie zostawili potomstwa. Na koniec, po wszystkich umarła i ta kobieta.
23 Therefore, [if it were true what some people say, that people will become alive again after they die], whose wife do you think that woman will be when people become alive again? ([Keep in mind that] she was married to all seven [brothers]!/She was married to all seven [brothers, so how can anyone decide] [RHQ]?)”
Przy zmartwychwstaniu więc, gdy powstaną, którego z nich będzie żoną? Bo siedmiu miało ją za żonę.
24 Jesus replied to them, “You are certainly wrong [RHQ]. You do not know [what they have written in] the Scriptures [about this]. You also do not understand God’s power [to make people alive again].
Na to Jezus im odpowiedział: Czyż nie dlatego błądzicie, że nie znacie Pisma ani mocy Boga?
25 [That woman will not be the wife of any of them], because when people have become alive again, instead of men having wives and women having husbands, they will be like the angels in heaven, [who do not marry].
Gdy bowiem zmartwychwstaną, ani się żenić nie będą, ani za mąż wychodzić, ale będą jak aniołowie w niebie.
26 But as to people becoming alive again after they die, in the book that Moses [wrote, he said something about people who have died] that I am sure that you have read [RHQ]. When Moses [was looking at] the bush [that was burning], God said to him, ‘I am the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].’
A o umarłych, że będą wskrzeszeni, nie czytaliście w księdze Mojżesza, jak Bóg do niego z krzaka przemówił: Ja jestem Bogiem Abrahama, Bogiem Izaaka i Bogiem Jakuba?
27 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we know their spirits were still alive]! So your [claim that dead people do not become alive again] is very wrong.”
Bóg nie jest Bogiem umarłych, ale Bogiem żywych. Wy więc bardzo błądzicie.
28 A man who taught the [Jewish] laws heard their discussion. He knew that Jesus answered the question well. So he stepped forward and asked Jesus, “Which commandment is the most important?”
Podszedł jeden z uczonych w Piśmie i słysząc, że ze sobą rozmawiali [oraz] widząc, że im dobrze odpowiedział, zapytał go: Które przykazanie jest pierwsze ze wszystkich?
29 Jesus answered, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, [you people of] Israel! [You must worship] the Lord, our God, our only Lord.
A Jezus mu odpowiedział: Pierwsze przykazanie ze wszystkich [jest to]: Słuchaj, Izraelu! Pan, nasz Bóg, Pan jest jeden.
30 [You must show that you love him in all the ways that you live] Show it in all that you want and feel, in all that you think, and in all that you do!’
Będziesz więc miłował Pana, swego Boga, całym swym sercem, całą swą duszą, całym swym umysłem i z całej swojej siły. [To jest] pierwsze przykazanie.
31 The next [most important commandment] is: ‘You must love people you come in contact with as much as you love yourself.’ No other commandment is more important than these two!”
A drugie [jest do niego] podobne: Będziesz miłował swego bliźniego jak samego siebie. Nie ma innego przykazania większego od tych.
32 The man said to Jesus, “Teacher, [you have answered] well. You correctly said that he is the only [God] and that there is no other God [we must worship/obey].
Wtedy powiedział mu uczony w Piśmie: Nauczycielu, zaprawdę dobrze powiedziałeś, że jeden jest Bóg i nie ma innego oprócz niego.
33 You have also said correctly that we ([should/must show that we]) love God by all that we are, by all that we think, and by the way that we live. And you have said correctly that we must love (people with whom we come in contact/others) as much as we love ourselves. And you have also implied that doing these things [pleases God] more than offering/giving animals to him or burning [other] sacrifices.”
Miłować go całym sercem, całym umysłem, całą duszą i z całej siły i miłować bliźniego jak samego siebie znaczy więcej niż wszystkie całopalenia i ofiary.
34 Jesus realized that this man had answered wisely. So he said to him, “[I perceive that] you will soon [decide to let] God rule your life.” After that, [the Jewish leaders] were afraid to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
A Jezus, widząc, że mądrze odpowiedział, rzekł do niego: Niedaleko jesteś od królestwa Bożego. I nikt nie śmiał go więcej pytać.
35 [Later], while he was teaching in the Temple [courtyard], Jesus said [to the people], “These men who teach the [Jewish] laws, (they must be wrong when they say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David!/why do they say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David?) [RHQ]
Nauczając w świątyni, Jezus zapytał: Jak [to jest], że uczeni w Piśmie mówią, że Chrystus jest Synem Dawida?
36 The Holy Spirit caused David himself to say [about the Messiah], God said to my Lord, ‘Sit here beside me at the place where I will highly honor you! Sit here while I completely defeat your enemies! [MTY]’
Sam Dawid bowiem powiedział przez Ducha Świętego: Rzekł Pan memu Panu: Siądź po mojej prawicy, aż położę twoich nieprzyjaciół jako podnóżek pod twoje stopy.
37 Therefore, [because] David himself calls [the Messiah] ‘my Lord,’ (the Messiah cannot be [just] a man who descended [from King David!]/how can the Messiah be [just] a man who descended [from King David]?) [RHQ] [He must be much greater than David]”! Many people listened to him gladly [as he taught those things].
[Skoro] sam Dawid nazywa go Panem, [to] jak [może] być jego synem? A wielki tłum chętnie go słuchał.
38 While Jesus was teaching [the people], he said to them, “Beware that you [do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They [like people to honor them, so] they put on long robes and walk around [in order to show people how important they are]. They also like people to greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
I mówił do nich w swoim nauczaniu: Strzeżcie się uczonych w Piśmie, którzy lubią chodzić w długich szatach i lubią pozdrowienia na rynkach;
39 [They like to sit] in the most important seats in our (synagogue/Jewish meeting place). At festivals, [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
I pierwsze krzesła w synagogach, i pierwsze miejsca na ucztach.
40 They (swindle/take for themselves) the houses [and property] of widows by cheating them. [Then] they pretend [that they are good] by praying long prayers [publicly. God] will certainly punish them severely!”
Pożerają oni domy wdów i dla pozoru odprawiają długie modlitwy. Ci otrzymają surowszy wyrok.
41 [Later], Jesus sat down [in the Temple courtyard opposite the boxes in which people put offerings. As he was sitting there], he watched as all the people put money in the box. Many rich people put in large amounts [of money].
A siedząc naprzeciw skarbony, Jezus przypatrywał się, jak ludzie wrzucali do niej pieniądze. Wielu bogaczy wrzucało wiele.
42 Then a poor widow came along and put in two small copper coins, which had a very small value.
Przyszła też pewna uboga wdowa i wrzuciła dwie drobne monety, czyli kwartnik.
43 He gathered his disciples around him and said to them, “The truth is that these other people have a lot of money, [but] they gave [only a small part of it]. But this woman, who is very poor, has put in all the money that she had to pay for the things she needs. [So God considers that] this poor widow has put more money into the box than all the other people!”
Wtedy zawołał swoich uczniów i powiedział im: Zaprawdę powiadam wam, że ta uboga wdowa wrzuciła więcej niż wszyscy, którzy wrzucali do skarbony.
Wszyscy bowiem wrzucali z tego, co im zbywało, ale ona ze swego ubóstwa wrzuciła wszystko, co miała, całe swoje utrzymanie.
