< Luke 10 >

1 After that, the Lord Jesus appointed 72 other [people]. He [prepared to] send them out, two-by-two, to every town and village where he [SYN] intended to go.
Після того Господь призначив інших сімдесятьох[учнів] і надіслав їх по двоє перед Собою в усі міста та місцевості, куди Він мав іти.
2 He said to them, “The [people who are ready to receive my message] are like a field [of] [MET] [grain] that is ready for [people] to harvest {to be harvested}. But there are not many people [to bring them to God]. So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his fields [to gather the] harvest.
І сказав їм: «Жнива насправді великі, а робітників мало, тож просіть Господа жнив, щоб послав робітників на жнива Свої.
3 Start going; but [remember that] I am sending you [(pl)] out [to tell my message to people who will try to get rid of you. You will be] like lambs among wolves.
Ідіть! Ось Я посилаю вас, як ягнят між вовків.
4 Do not take along [any money in] a purse. Do not take a traveler’s bag. Do not take [extra] sandals. Do not [spend a lot of time] greeting people along the way.
Не беріть ні гаманця, ні торбини, ні взуття й нікого в дорозі не вітайте.
5 Whenever you enter a house [to lodge there], first say to those people, ‘May [God give inner] peace to [you people] [MTY] [in] this house!’
Коли ж увійдете в якийсь дім, то спочатку скажіть: „Мир цьому дому!“
6 If people who [live] there [are (desiring to have]/worthy of receiving) [God’s] peace, they will experience the [inner] peace that you are [offering them]. If people who [live] there [are not desiring to have God’s] peace, you [will experience God’s inner] peace, [but they will not].
І якщо там є син миру, то спочине на ньому ваш мир, а коли ні, то повернеться до вас.
7 [If they welcome you], stay in that same house [until you leave that village]. Do not move around from one house to another. Eat and drink whatever they provide for you. A worker deserves to get pay [MET] [from the people for whom he works, so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Залишайтеся в тому ж домі, їжте та пийте те, що дадуть вам, бо робітник достойний своєї платні. Не переходьте з дому в дім.
8 Whenever you enter a town and the people [there] welcome you, eat what is provided {what [they] provide} for you.
А коли зайдете в якесь місто та приймуть вас, то їжте [все], що покладуть перед вами.
9 Heal the people there who are sick. Tell them, ‘It is almost [time for] God to send his king to rule [MET] [your lives].’
Зціляйте в ньому хворих і кажіть їм: „Наблизилось до вас Царство Боже!“
10 But if you enter a town whose [people] do not welcome you, go into its [main] streets and say,
А коли зайдете в якесь місто і не приймуть вас, то, виходячи на вулиці його, кажіть:
11 ‘[Because you have refused to hear our message, we(exc) will not only leave], we will also shake off the dust of your town that clings to our sandals, to warn you [that God will reject/punish you]. But [we want you to know that] it is almost [the time when] God will start to rule!’
„Навіть пил із вашого міста, який прилип до наших ніг, ми обтрушуємо на свідчення проти вас, але знайте, що наблизилось Царство Боже!“
12 I will tell you this: On the [MTY] [final] day when [God judges everyone], he will punish the wicked people [MTY] who long ago lived in Sodom, [the city that he destroyed because its people were so wicked]. But he will punish [even] more severely the people [MTY] of any town [whose people refused to hear your message]!”
Кажу вам: легше буде Содомові в той день [суду], ніж тому місту.
13 “There will be terrible [punishment] for [you people who live in] [MTY] Chorazin and Bethsaida [cities]. I did great miracles in your cities [to show God’s power, but you did not turn from your sinful behavior]. If the miracles that I performed in your [cities] had been done in Tyre and Sidon [cities], the wicked people who lived there would have long ago [shown that they were sorry for their sins by] sitting on the ground wearing coarse cloth and putting ashes on their heads.
Горе тобі, Хоразине! Горе тобі, Віфсаїдо! Бо якби в Тирі та Сидоні сталися ті чудеса, які були у вас, то вони давно би покаялися, сидячи в мішковині та попелі.
14 [But they did not have the opportunity that you have, so when God punishes people, he will punish the wicked people who lived in] Tyre and Sidon, but he will punish you more severely [because you did not pay attention to my message].
Проте Тиру та Сидону легше буде на суді, ніж вам.
15 [I also have something to say to] you [people who live in] Capernaum [city]. (Do not [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven!/Do you [think that you will be honored] {[that God] will honor you} in heaven?) [RHQ] [That will not happen! On the contrary], [after you die, God] will send you down to the place where [sinful people] will be punished [forever]!” (Hadēs g86)
І ти, Капернауме, чи будеш піднесений до неба? Ні, ти до пекла зійдеш! (Hadēs g86)
16 [Jesus also said to the disciples, “God will consider that] those who listen to your [message] are listening to me, and that those who reject your [message] are rejecting me. And [he will consider that] those who reject me are rejecting [God], the one who sent me.”
Той, хто слухає вас, той Мене слухає, і хто відмовляється від вас, від Мене відмовляється. Хто ж відмовляється від Мене, той відмовляється від Того, Хто надіслав Мене».
17 The 72 [people whom Jesus appointed went and did as he told them to]. When they returned, they were very joyful. They said, “Lord, [people did what we(exc) told them to do]! Demons also obeyed us when by your [(sg)] authority [MTY] [we commanded them to leave people]!”
Сімдесят [учнів] повернулися й радісно сказали: ―Господи, навіть демони підкоряються нам в ім’я Твоє.
18 Jesus replied, “[When those demons were obeying you, because God had enabled you to defeat them, it was as though] [MET] I saw Satan fall from heaven [as suddenly and quickly] as lightning [strikes].
А Він сказав їм: ―Я бачив сатану, котрий падав із неба, наче блискавка.
19 Listen! I have given you authority so that if you oppose evil spirits [MET] [they will not hurt you]. I have given you authority to defeat our enemy, [Satan]. Nothing shall hurt you.
Ось даю вам владу наступати на змій і скорпіонів, і на всяку силу ворожу, і ніщо вам не зашкодить.
20 But [although] you can rejoice that evil spirits obey you, you should rejoice [more] that your names have been written {that [God] has written your names} in heaven, [because you will be with God forever].”
Однак не радійте, що духи вам підкоряються, а радійте тому, що імена ваші записані на небесах.
21 At that time the Holy Spirit caused [Jesus] to be very happy. He said, “Father, you [(sg)] rule over [everything in] heaven and [on] the earth! Some [people think that they are] wise [because] they are well-educated. But I thank you that you have prevented them from [knowing] these things. [Instead], you have revealed them to [people who accept your truth as readily] [MET] [as] little children [do]. Yes, Father, [you have done that] because it seemed good to you [to do] so.”
У той час [Ісус] зрадів Святим Духом та промовив: «Славлю Тебе, Отче, Господи неба і землі, за те, що Ти приховав це від мудрих та розумних і відкрив дітям. Так, Отче, бо такою була Твоя добра воля.
22 [Jesus also said to the 72 disciples], “[God], my Father, has revealed to me all [I need to know and the power I need for my work]. Only my Father knows who I [really] am. Furthermore, only I and those [people] to whom I wish to reveal him know what [God] my Father is [like].”
Усе Мені було доручено Моїм Отцем. Ніхто не знає, Хто є Син, окрім Отця, і Хто є Отець, окрім Сина й того, кому Син хоче відкрити».
23 Then when Jesus’ disciples were alone with him, he turned toward them and said, “[God] is pleased with you [SYN] who have seen [the things that I have done]!
І, повернувшись до учнів, промовив тільки до них: ―Блаженні очі, які бачать те, що ви бачите.
24 I want you to know that many prophets and kings [who lived long ago] desired to see the things that you are seeing [me do], but these things did not [happen] then. They longed to hear the things that you have been hearing [me say], but these things were not [revealed to them] then.”
Бо кажу вам: багато пророків та царів бажали побачити те, що ви бачите, і не побачили, та почути те, що ви чуєте, і не почули.
25 [One day as Jesus was teaching people], a man was there who had studied carefully the laws that [God gave Moses]. He wanted to ask Jesus a difficult question. So he stood up and asked, “Teacher, what shall I do in order to live [with God] forever?” (aiōnios g166)
І ось один учитель Закону піднявся та, спокушаючи Його, сказав: ―Учителю, що мені робити, щоб успадкувати життя вічне? (aiōnios g166)
26 Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] have read [RHQ] what [Moses] has written in the laws that [God gave him]. What did Moses write about living forever?”
[Ісус] відповів йому: ―Що в Законі написано? Як читаєш?
27 The man replied, “[He wrote that] we [(inc)] must love the Lord our God. [We must show that] by what we feel and by what we do and by what we think. [He] also [wrote that we must love] people that we come in contact with as much as [we love] ourselves.”
Він відповів: ―«Люби Господа Бога свого всім серцем своїм, і всією своєю душею, і всією силою своєю, і всім розумом своїм» і «ближнього свого – як самого себе».
28 Jesus replied, “You [(sg)] have answered [your question] correctly. If you do all that [continually], you will live [with God forever].”
[Ісус] же сказав: ―Правильно ти відповів, роби так і будеш жити!
29 But the man wanted to defend [the way] he [acted toward people that he came in contact with] (OR, to defend why he [had asked a question that Jesus answered so simply]). So he said to Jesus, “Which people that I come in contact with [should I love]?”
Але той, бажаючи виправдати себе, сказав Ісусові: ―А хто мій ближній?
30 Jesus replied [by telling him this illustration]: “A [Jewish] man was once going down along the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Bandits attacked him. They took away [most of] the man’s clothes [and everything else that he had], and they beat him until he was almost dead. Then they left him.
Ісус відповів: ―Один чоловік ішов з Єрусалима в Єрихон та потрапив до рук розбійників, котрі роздягли його, побили та пішли далі, залишивши його напівмертвим.
31 It happened that a [Jewish] priest was going along that road. When he saw that man, [instead of helping him], he passed by on the other side [of the road].
Випадково тією ж дорогою проходив священник і, побачивши його, пройшов повз нього.
32 Similarly, a man who worked in the temple [in Jerusalem] came to that place and saw the man. But he also passed by on the other side [of the road].
Також і левіт, прийшовши на те місце, подивився й пішов далі.
33 Then a man from Samaria [province] came along that road to where the man was lying. [People from Samaria despise Jews. But] when he saw that man, he pitied him.
Але один самарянин, який був у подорожі, підійшов і, побачивши його, зглянувся над ним.
34 He went over to him and put some [olive] oil and wine on his wounds [to help heal them]. He wound strips of cloth [around the wounds]. He placed the man on his own donkey and took him to an inn and took care of him.
Він підійшов, перев’язав йому рани, намастивши їх олією та вином, поклав його на свою худобину та привіз до заїжджого двору, де доглядав за ним.
35 The next morning he gave two silver coins to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of this man. If you [(sg)] spend more than this amount [to care for him], I will pay you back when I return.’”
Наступного дня, від’їжджаючи, дав два динарії господареві та сказав: «Подбай про нього, а якщо витратиш на нього більше, я поверну тобі, коли вертатимусь».
36 Then Jesus said, “Three people [saw] the man whom bandits attacked. Which one of them [acted in a loving way toward] that man?”
Хто з цих трьох, на твою думку, був ближнім того, хто потрапив до рук розбійників?
37 The man who studied the Scriptures replied, “The one who acted mercifully toward him.” Jesus said to him, “You [(sg)] go and act like that [toward] everyone whom [you can help]!”
Він відповів: ―Той, хто зглянувся над ним. Ісус сказав: ―Іди та роби так само.
38 As Jesus and his disciples continued to travel, they entered a village [near Jerusalem]. A woman whose name was Martha invited them to come to her house.
Коли вони подорожували далі, то зайшли до одного села, де жінка, на ім’я Марта, прийняла Його у свій дім.
39 Her [younger] sister, whose name was Mary, sat near Jesus. She was listening to what he was teaching.
У неї була сестра, на ім’я Марія, яка сіла біля ніг Господа та слухала Його слова.
40 But Martha was very much concerned about preparing [a meal]. She went to Jesus and said, “Lord, (you do not seem to care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself!/do you not care that my sister has left me to prepare everything by myself?) [RHQ] Tell her that she should help me!”
Марта була зайнята багатьма приготуваннями й, підійшовши, сказала: ―Господи, чи Тобі байдуже, що моя сестра залишила мене саму служити? Скажи їй, щоб допомогла мені.
41 But the Lord replied, “Martha, Martha, you [(sg)] are very worried about many things.
Господь відповів їй: ―Марто, Марто, ти турбуєшся та клопочешся багатьма речами,
42 But only one thing is truly necessary, and that is, [to listen to what I am teaching]. Mary has decided to [do that], and that is better [than worrying]. [The blessing that she is receiving from listening to me] will not be taken away from her {No one will take away from her [the blessing that she is receiving from listening to me]}.”
але потрібне одне. Марія обрала кращу частку, яка не відбереться від неї.
