< Matthew 8 >

1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Як же зійшов з гори, багато народу йшло слїдом за Ним.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Коли се приступив прокажений і вклонивсь Йому, кажучи: Господи, коли хочеш, то зможеш очистити мене,
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
І простяг Ісус руку, й приторкнувсь до него, й рече: Хочу, очистись. І зараз очистилась проказа його.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
І рече до него Ісус: Гледи ж, не кажи нїкому, а йди та покажись священикові, й принеси дар, який повелїв Мойсей на сьвідкуваннє їм.
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
А як увійшов Ісус у Капернаум, приступив до Него сотник, благаючи Його,
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
й говорячи: Господи, слуга мій лежить дома розслаблений, і тяжко мучить ся.
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
І рече до него Ісус: Я пійду та сцїлю його.
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
Озвав же ся сотник і сказав: Господи, не заслужив я того, щоб Ти ввійшов під мою стелю; а промов одно слово, то й одужає слуга мій.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Бо сам я чоловік під властю, і маю воїни під собою; і скажу сьому: Йди, то й іде; а другому: Прийди, то й прийде, а слузї моєму: Роби те, то й робить.
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Почувши се Ісус, дивував ся, і рече до тих, що йшли слїдом за Ним: Істино кажу вам: Навіть в Ізраїлї не знайшов я такої віри.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
І кажу вам: Що многі прийдуть од сходу й заходу, та й сядуть з Авраамом, з Ісааком і з Яковом у царстві небесному,
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
а сини царства будуть повикидані у темряву надвірню: там буде плач і скриготаннє зубів.
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
І рече Ісус до сотника: Йди, і, як вірував єси, станеть ся тобі. І одужав слуга його тієї самої години.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
І прийшов Ісус до Петрової господи, та й побачив, що теща його лежить у пропасниці.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
І приторкнувсь до руки її, й покинула пропасниця її, й вставши вона, послуговала їм.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Як же настав вечір, приведено до Него багато біснуватих; і повиганяв Він біси словом, і сцїлив усїх недужих;
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
щоб справдилось, що сказав Ісаїя пророк, глаголючи: Узяв Він на себе недуги наші, й понїс болещі наші.
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Як же побачив Ісус великий натовп кругом себе, то звелїв плисти на той бік.
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
І приступивши один письменник, каже до Него: Учителю, пійду слідом за Тобою, куди б Ти нї пійшов.
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Ісус же рече до него: Лисицї мають нори, й птаство небесне гнізда; Синові ж чоловічому нїде й голови прихилити.
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Другий же ученик Його каже до Него: Господи, дозволь менї перш пійти поховати батька мого.
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Ісус ж рече до него: Йди слїдом за мною; нехай мертві ховають мерці свої.
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
І, як увійшов у човен, поввіходили слїдом за Ним ученики Його.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Аж ось схопилась велика хуртовина на морі, така що филя заливала човна; Він же спав.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
І, приступивши ученики Його, розбудили Його, кажучи: Господи, спаси нас: погибаємо.
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
І рече до них: Чого ви злякались, маловірні? Тодї встав, і погрозив вітрам та морю; і настала велика тиша.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Люде ж дивувались, говорячи: Хто се такий, що й вітри й море слухають Його!
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
І як переплив на той бік у Гергесинську землю, зустріло Його два біснуватих, що вийшли з гробів, вельми злющі, так що ніхто не важив ся ходити дорогою тією.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
І ось, закричали, говорячи: Що нам і Тобі, Ісусе, Сину Божий? чи на те прийшов єси сюди, щоб нас заздалегідь мучити?
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Оддалеки ж од них пас ся великий гурт свиней.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
А біси благали Його, кажучи: Коли нас виженеш, то дозволь нам увійти в гурт свинячий.
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
І рече до них: Ійдїть. І, вийшовши вони, увійшли в стадо свиняче - коли се увесь гурт свинячий кинувсь із кручі в море, та й потонув у водї
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
А пастухи повтікали й, прибігши в город, росказали про все й про біснуватих.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
І ось увесь город вийшов назустріч Ісусові, а, побачивши Його благали, щоб вийшов геть із гряниць їх.
