Der Artikel betrifft das sogenannte Konzil von Jerusalem, das in der Anfangszeit des Christentums mit einer Streitfrage befaßte, die in dem Augenblick entstanden war, als die ersten Heiden in die Kirche aufgenommen wurden. Das Konzil äußerste sich nicht nur in der Frage der Beschneidung zugunsten der Heideenchristen, sondern erließ auch ein Dekret mit vier Bedingungen, das zum einträchtigen Miteinander von Judenchristen und Heidenchristen beitragen sollte. Das Dekret mit den vier Bedingungen ist Ausdruck einer Übereinkuft, das das Wohl des jüdischen Teils der Kirche im Sinne hatte. Das Jerusalemer Konzil in Apg 15 erkennt einerseits die Freiheit der Heiden vom mosaischen Gesetz an und schützt andererseits die jüdische religiöse Tradition. Es ist ein Ausdruck der Sorge um die Einheit der Urkirche.

The article examines the problems of interpretation and, connected with this, of translation of the Parable of the Dishonest Steward (Luke 16:1-10). It concentrates in particular on comparing the Czech Ecumenical Translation from the 1980s with the Bible for the Twenty-First Century which was published last year. It concludes that the Czech Ecumenical Translation has some very positive aspects, and also some specific weaknesses, but that the Bible for the Twenty-First Century fails to occupy a clear position in relation to the older translation: it uses the same method of translation (dynamic equivalence), and in its choice of words it circles round the Ecumenical version, selecting terms that are 'left over' - in some cases more colloquial, in others slightly more archaic.

The present article discusses Sirach’s original concept of wisdom as presented in the first pericope of his book. It is argued that Sir 1:1-10 functions as the opening pericope that introduces the subject matter to be developed later in the book. The structure of the original version of Sir 1:1-10 (G-I) is lucid: the pericope can be divided into two halves of exactly the same length (verses 1-4 and 6-10). The textual additions in G-II recension disrupted the symmetry of the pericope but did not alter its meaning. The first part of the pericope focuses on the origins of wisdom and its relation to the created world, while the second part shows wisdom to be inaccessible in any other way than as God’s gift for his creatures, especially the people who love him. Sir 1:1-4 emphasizes the distance between wisdom and people, which is gradually reduced in the second part of the pericope (vv. 6-10). Due to God’s intervention wisdom is transformed from a distant and inaccessible entity to one close to human beings. As an intermediary between God and people, it brings people closer to God, yet it is not an inherent part of their nature, but rather Yahweh’s gift to them.

Sir 42:15–43:33 constitutes a hymn celebrating the Creator and his creations. There the sage expresses his fascination with the created world, which stands as a testimony to God’s greatness, might and beauty. In the passage 43:1-10 Sirach depicts the sky and its celestial bodies: the sun, moon and stars, focusing primarily on their extraordinary greatness and beauty. When the Greek version of the text is read more carefully, however, it is clear that the section mentions also the harmony and order of the universe, which are manifestations of God’s wisdom. The depictions of the moon (43:6-8) and the stars (43:9-10) express these truths explicitly. In the poetic descriptions of the firmament (43:1) and the sun (43:2-5), however, they are conveyed implicitly, through the meaning of words such as e.g. stereōma, and in the functions assigned to the heavenly bodies by God.
PL
Syr 42,15 – 43,33 jest hymnem na cześć Stwórcy i Jego dzieła. Mędrzec wyraża w nim zachwyt nad stworzonym światem, który jest świadectwem wielkości, wszechmocy i piękna Boga. W 43,1-10 Syrach opisuje nieboskłon i ciała niebieskie (słońce, księżyc i gwiazdy). Tekst ten wyraża przede wszystkim ich niezwykłą wielkość i piękno. Jednak gdy wczytamy się dokładnie i wnikniemy głębiej w jego grecką wersję, to odkryjemy, że mówi on również o harmonii i ładzie w makrokosmosie, które z kolei świadczą o mądrości Stwórcy. Prezentacja księżyca (43,6-8) i gwiazd (43,9-10) wyraża wprost (explicite) powyższe prawdy. Natomiast w poetyckiej prezentacji firmamentu (43,1) i słońca (43,2-5) zawarte są one implicite, tzn. w znaczeniu słów takich, jak np. stereōma, oraz w zadaniach (funkcjach w świecie) przypisanych im przez Boga.

The second part of Sir 14:20–15:10, that is 15:1-10, consists of five sections: 15:1 functions as an introduction, vv. 2-3 focus on wisdom’s actions towards the one who seeks it, vv. 4-6 contain promises made to the person who has acquired wisdom, vv. in turn 7-8 constitute a warning for the fool – that is the sinner, while in the concluding part of the pericope analyzed in the present article (vv. 9-10) Sirach speaks of God’s worship as the culmination of the efforts made in order to acquire wisdom. Mere intellectual efforts do not suffice to acquire wisdom. It is wisdom itself that helps those who seek to attain it (vv. 2-3; the metaphors of the mother and wife, of being fed the bread of knowledge and the water of wisdom). Wisdom is personified as the guide in the process while at the same time remaining the object being sought. Its actions towards the man who strives to acquire it are akin to God’s actions towards Israel and all the believers. The promises made in 15:4-6 pertain both to the wisdom-seeker’s earthly existence (he will never fall nor will he be disgraced; on the contrary, he will be elevated and awarded with joy) and his afterlife (his descendants will remember him forever). In 15:7-8 Sirach expresses a warning directed to fools, that is sinners. They will never attain wisdom for their conduct defies wisdom’s requirements for those who seek it (fear of God, knowledge of the Law and contemplation both of wisdom and the commandments). The author concludes by saying that God’s worship constitutes the apex of attaining wisdom, a sign that one has actually acquired it. Fools and sinners cannot worship God for they do not submit to God’s command and hence will never acquire wisdom. The article also compares the theological message of 14:20–15:10 concerning wisdom with other fragments of the Book of Sirach that refer to the seeking and finding of wisdom (1:1-10; 4:11-19 and 6:18-37).
