Luke 12
1 While they were doing that, many thousands of people gathered [around Jesus]. There were so many that they were stepping on each other. Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Beware of [becoming] hypocrites [like] the Pharisees. Their [evil influence] [MET] [spreads to others like] yeast [spreads its influence in dough].
Между това, като се събра едно многохилядно множество, дотолкова, че един други се тъпчеха, Той почна да говори на учениците Си: Преди всичко пазете се от фарисейския квас, който е лицемерие.
2 People will not be able to continue concealing the things that [they or other] people try to conceal now. [God] will [some day] cause the things that are hidden now to be known {[everyone] to know the things that they hide now}.
Няма нищо покрито, което не ще се открие, и тайно, което не ще се узнае.
3 All the things that you say in the dark [secretly, some day] will be heard {people will hear them} in the daylight. The things you have whispered [SYN] privately among yourselves in your rooms will be proclaimed {[people] will proclaim them} publicly.”
Затова, каквото сте говорили на тъмно, ще се чуе на видело; и каквото сте казали на ухо във вътрешните стаи, ще се разгласи от покрива.
4 “My friends, listen [carefully]. Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill you, but after they kill you, there is nothing more that they can do [to hurt you].
А на вас, Моите приятели, казвам: Не бойте се от тия, които убиват тялото, и след това не могат нищо повече да сторят.
5 But I will warn you about the one that you should truly be afraid of. You should be afraid of [God], because he not only has [the power to] cause people to die, he has the power to throw them into hell afterward! Yes, he is truly the one that you should be afraid of! (Geenna g1067)
Но ще ви предупредя от кого да се боите: Бойте се от онзи, който, след като е убил, има власт да хвърля в пъкъла. Да! Казвам ви, от него да се боите. (Geenna g1067)
6 [Think about] the sparrows. [They are worth so little] that [you] can [RHQ] buy five of them for only two small coins. But not one of them is ever forgotten by God {God never forgets one of them}!
Не продават ли се пет врабчета за два асария? И ни едно от тях не е забравено пред Бога.
7 You are worth more [to God] than many sparrows. So do not be afraid [of what people can do to you! God] even knows how many hairs there are on each of your heads, [so that if you(sg) lose one hair, he knows about it. So nothing bad can happen to you without his knowing it].
Но вам и космите на главата са всички преброени. Не бойте се; вие сте много по-скъпи от врабчетата.
8 I want to tell you also that if people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], [I], the one who came from heaven, will acknowledge before [God that they are my disciples]. [I will do that while] God’s angels listen.
И казвам ви: Всеки, който изповяда Мене пред човеците, ще го изповяда и Човешкият Син пред Божиите ангели;
9 But if people [are] afraid to say in front of others that they are [my disciples], [I] will say, while God’s angels listen, that they are not [my disciples].
но ако се отрече някой от Мене пред човеците, ще бъде отречен пред Божиите ангели.
10 [I will tell you] also that [God is willing to] forgive people who say bad things about me, the one who came from heaven, but [he] will not forgive anyone who says evil things about what the Holy Spirit [does].
И всекиму, който би казал дума против Човешкия Син, ще му се прости; но ако някой похули Святия Дух, няма да му се прости.
11 [So] when people ask you in Jewish worship houses and in the presence of rulers and other authorities [about your trusting in me], do not worry about how you will answer them [when they accuse you]. Do not worry about what you should say,
И когато ви заведат в синагогите и пред началствата и властите, не се безпокойте как или какво ще отговорите, или какво ще кажете.
12 because the Holy Spirit will tell you at that very time what you should say.”
Защото Святият Дух ще ви научи в същия час, какво трябва да кажете.
13 Then one of the people in the crowd said to [Jesus], “Teacher, tell my [older] brother to divide my father’s property and give me [the part that belongs] to me!”
И някой си от множеството Му рече: Учителю, кажи на брат ми да раздели с мене наследството.
14 But Jesus replied to him, “Man, (no one appointed me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property!/did anyone appoint me in order that I would settle [matters when people are] disputing about property?) [RHQ]”
А Той му каза: Човече, кой Ме е поставил съдия или делач над вас?
15 Then he said to the whole crowd, “Guard yourselves very carefully, in order that you do not desire other people’s things in any way! No one can make his life secure by [obtaining] many possessions.”
И каза им: Внимавайте и пазете се от всяко користолюбие; защото животът на човека не се състои в изобилието на имота му.
16 Then Jesus told the people this illustration: “There was a certain rich man whose crops grew very well.
И каза им притча, като рече: Нивите на един богаташ родиха много плод.
17 [So] he said [to himself], ‘I do not know what to do, because I do not have any place [big enough] to store all my crops!’
И той размишляваше в себе си, думайки: Какво да правя, защото нямам где да събера плодовете си.
18 Then he thought to himself, ‘[I know] what I will do! I will tear down my grain bins and build larger ones! Then I will store all my wheat and other goods in [the big new bins].
И рече: Ето какво ще направя: Ще съборя житниците си, и ще построя по-големи, и там ще събера всичките си жита и благата си.
19 [Then] I will say to myself [SYN], “Now I have plenty of goods stored up. [They will last] for many years. [So now] I will take life easy. I will eat and drink [all that I want to] and be happy [for a long time]!”’
И ще река на душата си: Душо, имаш много бла г ' а, натрупани за много години; успокой се, яж, пий, весели се.
20 But God said to him, ‘You foolish [man]! Tonight you will die! (Then all [the goods] you have saved up [for yourself] will [belong to someone else, not to] you!/Do you think that you [will benefit from] all that you have stored up for yourself?) [RHQ]’”
А Бог му рече: Глупецо! Тая нощ ще ти изискат душата; а това, което си приготвил, чие ще бъде?
21 [Then Jesus ended this illustration by saying], “That is what will happen to those who store up goods just for themselves, but who do not value the things [that] God [considers] valuable.”
Така става с този, който събира имот за себе си, и не богатее в Бога.
22 Then [Jesus] said to his disciples, “So I want to tell you this: Do not worry about [things you need] in order to live. Do not worry about [whether you will have enough food] to eat or [enough clothes] to wear.
Рече още на учениците Си: Затова ви казвам, не се безпокойте за живота си, какво ще ядете, нито за тялото си, какво ще облечете.
23 It is important to have sufficient food and clothing, but (the way you conduct your lives is more important./is not the way you conduct your lives more important?) [RHQ]
Защото животът е повече от храната, и тялото от облеклото.
24 Think about the birds: They do not plant [seeds], and they do not harvest [crops]. They do not have rooms or buildings in which to store crops. But God provides food for them. [And] you are certainly much more valuable than birds. [So God will certainly provide what you need]!
Разгледайте враните, че не сеят, нито жънат; те нямат нито скривалище, нито житница, но пак Бог ги храни. Колко по-скъпи сте вие от птиците!
25 (There is not a one of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it!/Is there any of you who can add a little bit to how long he lives by worrying about it?) [RHQ]
И кой от вас може с грижене да прибави един лакът на ръста си?
26 Worrying is a small thing to do. So since you cannot add to your life, (you certainly should not worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live!]/why do you worry about other things that [you need to have in order to live]?) [RHQ]
И тъй, ако и най-малкото нещо не можете стори, защо се безпокоите за друго?
27 Think about the way that flowers grow [in the fields]. They do not work [to earn money], and they do not make their own clothes. But I tell you that [even though King] Solomon, [who lived long ago, wore very beautiful clothes], his clothes were not as beautiful as one of those [flowers].
Разгледайте кремовете как растат; не се трудят, нито предат; но казвам ви, нито Соломон във всичката си слава не се е обличал както един от тях.
28 God makes the flowers beautiful, but they grow in the fields for only a short time. Then [they are cut at the same time that the grass] is cut, and thrown into an oven [to be burned to make heat for baking] bread. [So they really are not worth very much. But you are very precious to] God, [and he] will [care for you] much more [than he cares for the grass by filling it with beautiful flowers]. So he will certainly provide clothes for you, who [live much longer than the grass. Why] [RHQ] [do you] trust him so little?
И ако Бог така облича полската трева, която днес я има, а утре я хвърлят в пещ, колко повече ще облича вас, маловери!
29 Do not always be concerned about having enough to eat and drink, and do not be worrying about those things.
И тъй, не търсете какво да ядете и какво да пиете, и не се съмнявайте;
30 The people who do not know God are always worried about such things. But your Father [in heaven] knows that you need those things, [so you should not worry about them].
защото всичко това търсят народите на света; а Отец ви знае, че се нуждаете от това.
31 Instead, be concerned about letting [God] completely direct [your life]. Then [he] will also give you enough of the things [you need].
Но търсете [Божието] царство и [всичко] това ще ви се прибави.
32 [You who are my disciples are like a] small flock of sheep, [and I am like your shepherd]. So you should not be afraid. Your Father [in heaven] wants to let you rule with him [in heaven].
Не бой се, малко стадо, защото Отец ви благоволи да ви даде царството.
33 [So now] sell the things that you own. Give [the money that you get for those things] to poor people. [If you do that, it will be as though] you are providing for yourselves purses that will not wear out, and [God will give] you a treasure in heaven that will always be safe. There, no thief can come near [to steal it], and no termite can destroy it.
Продайте имота си и давайте милостиня; направете си кесии, които не овехтяват, неизчерпаемо съкровище на небесата, гдето крадец не се приближава, нито молец изяжда.
34 Remember that [the things] that you [think are the most] valuable are [the things] that you will be constantly concerned about.”
Защото гдето е съкровището ви, там ще бъде и сърцето ви.
35 “Be always ready [for doing God’s work] [MET], like [people] who have put on their work clothes and are ready [during the day], with their lamps burning all night.
Кръстът ви да бъде препасан и светилниците ви запалени;
36 Be [ready for me to return] [MET], like servants who are waiting for their master to return after being at a wedding feast [for several days]. They are [waiting to] open the door for him and [start working for him again] as soon as he arrives and knocks at the door.
и сами вие да приличате на човеци, които чакат господаря си, когато се върне от сватба, за да му отворят незабавно, щом дойде и похлопа.
37 If those servants are awake when he returns, [he will] be very pleased with them. I will tell you this: He will put on [the kind of clothes] that servants wear and tell them to sit down, and he will serve them a meal.
Блажени ония слуги, чийто господар ги намери будни, когато си дойде; истина ви казвам, че той ще се препаше, ще ги накара да седнат на трапезата и ще дойде да им прислужи.
38 [Even] if he comes between midnight and sunrise, if he finds that his servants are [awake and] ready [for him], he will be very pleased with them.
И ако дойде на втора стража, или на трета стража, и ги намери така, блажени са ония слуги.
39 But you must also remember this: If owners of a house knew what time a thief was coming, they [would stay awake and] would not allow their house to be broken into [and their goods to be stolen] {[the thief] to break into the house [and steal their goods]}.
Но това да знаете, че ако домакинът беше знаел в кой час щеше да дойде крадецът, бдял би и не би оставил да му подкопаят къщата.
40 Similarly, you must be ready [for me to return], because [I], the one who came from heaven, will come [again] at a time when you do not expect [me to come].”
Бъдете, прочее, и вие готови; защото в час, когато Го не мислите, Човешкият Син ще дойде.
41 Peter said, “Lord, are you [(sg)] speaking this illustration [only] for us or for everyone [else also]?”
Тогава Петър каза: Господи, само на нас ли казваш тая притча, или и на всичките?
42 The Lord replied, “[I am saying it for you and for anyone else] [MET, RHQ] who is like a faithful and wise manager in his master’s house. His master appoints him to [supervise affairs in his house] and to give all the [other] servants their food at the proper time. [Then he leaves on a long trip].
Господ каза: Кой е, прочее, онзи верен и благоразумен настойник, когото господаря му ще постави над домочадието си, да им дава на време определената храна?
43 If the servant is doing that work when his master returns, [his master] will be very pleased with him.
Блажен онзи слуга, чийто господар, когато си дойде, го намери, че прави така.
44 I tell you this: His master will appoint him to supervise all of his affairs [permanently].
Истина ви казвам, че ще го постави над целия си имот.
45 But that servant might think to himself, ‘My master [has been away] for a long time, [so he probably will] not return soon [and find out what I am doing].’ [Then he might] start to beat the [other] servants, both male and female ones. [He might also start] to eat [a lot of food] and get drunk.
Но ако онзи слуга рече в сърцето си: Господарят ми се забави, и почне да бие момчетата и момичетата, да яде, да пие и да се опива,
46 [If he does that, and if] his master returns on a day when the servant does not expect him, then his master will (cut him into two pieces/punish him severely) [HYP] and put him [in the place where he puts all] those who do not [serve him] faithfully.
то господарят на онзи слуга ще дойде в ден, когато той не го очаква и в час, който не знае, и, като го бие тежко, ще определи неговата участ с неверните.
47 Every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires will be beaten severely {[The master] will beat severely every servant who knows what his master wants him to do but who does not get himself ready and does not do what his master desires}.
И онзи слуга, като е знаел волята на господаря си, но не е приготвил, нито постъпил по волята му, ще бъде много бит.
48 But every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do, and who did things for which he deserved to be punished, will be beaten lightly {[the master] will beat lightly every [servant] who did not know [what his master wanted] him to do and did the things for which he deserved that [his master] would beat him}. [God will treat his people similarly, because he] expects a lot from those people whom [he] has allowed [to understand a lot]. People who entrust things [to others’ care] expect those people [to care for those things] very well. Similarly, [God] expects a lot from those people whom he has allowed [to understand a lot]. Furthermore, he expects the most from people to whom he has given the most [ability].”
А онзи, който не е знаел и е сторил нещо, което заслужава бой, малко ще бъде бит. И от всеки, комуто много е дадено, много и ще се изисква; и комуто са много поверили, от него повече ще изискват.
49 “I came to earth to cause [there to be trials] [MET], [which will purify you as] fire [purifies metal] (OR, to cause judgment/divisions among you). I wish that the time when [you] will be purified {when [God] will purify you} (OR, when divisions will be caused {to cause divisions among people}) had already begun.
Огън дойдох да хвърля на земята; и какво повече да искам, ако се е вече запалил?
50 I must soon suffer [IDM] greatly. I am distressed, and I will continue to be distressed until my suffering is finished.
Но имам кръщение, с което трябва да се кръстя; и колко се утеснявам докле се извърши!
51 Do you think that as a result of my coming to earth people will live together peacefully? No! I must tell you, [that is not what will happen! Instead, people] will be divided.
Мислите ли, че съм дошъл да дам мир на земята? Не, казвам ви, но по-скоро раздяла.
52 Because some people in one house [will believe in me and some will not], they will be divided. [For example], three people in one house [who do not believe in me] will oppose two [who do believe], or two [who do not believe in me] will oppose three [who do believe].
Защото отсега нататък петима в една къща ще бъдат разделени, трима против двама и двама против трима.
53 A man will oppose his son, or a son will oppose his father. A woman will oppose her daughter, or a woman will oppose her mother. A woman will oppose her daughter-in-law, or a woman will oppose her mother-in-law.”
Ще се разделят баща против син и син против баща; майка против дъщеря и дъщеря против майка; свекърва против снаха си и снаха против свекърва си.
54 He [also] said to the crowds, “[In this country], when you see a [dark] cloud forming in the west, you immediately say ‘It is going to rain!’ and that is what happens.
Казваше още на народа: Когато видите облак да се издига от запад, веднага казвате: Дъжд ще вали, и така става.
55 [In this region], when the wind blows from the south, you say, ‘It is going to be a very hot day!’ and that is what happens.
И когато духа южен вятър казвате: Ще стане жега, и става.
56 You hypocrites! By observing the clouds and the wind, you are able to discern what is happening regarding [the weather]. It is disgusting that you are not able to discern [what God is doing] at this present time [RHQ]!
Лицемери! Лицето на земята и на небето знаете да разтълкувате, а това време как не знаете да разтълкувате?
57 (Each of you ought to determine now what is the right thing for you to do, [while you still have time to do that]!/Why cannot each of you determine what is the right [thing for you to do now while you still have time to do that]?) [RHQ]
А защо и от само себе си не съдите що е право?
58 [If you do not do that, God will punish you] [MET]. [It will be like what happens when] someone takes one of you to court, saying that you [(sg)] have done something very bad. You should try to settle things with him while you are still on the way to the court. If he forces you to go to the judge, the judge will decide that you are guilty and put you into the hands of the court officer. Then that officer will put you in prison.
Защото, когато отиваш с противника си да се я явиш пред управителя, постарай се по пътя да се отървеш от него, да не би да те завлече при съдията и съдията да те предаде на служителя, и служителят да те хвърли в тъмница.
59 I tell you that if you go to prison, you will never get out, [because you will never be able to] pay every bit [of what the judge says you owe] [MET]. [Similarly, you ought to settle accounts with God before you die, too].”
Казвам ти, никак няма да излезеш от там, докле не изплатиш и най-последното петаче.
