Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
І ввійшов Він у човен, та й переплив, і прийшов у свій город
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Коли се принесено до Него розслабленого, лежачого на постелі; і бачивши Ісус віру їх, рече розслабленому: Бодрись, сину; одпускають ся тобі гріхи твої.
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Аж тут деякі письменники кажуть собі: Сей хулить.
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
І знаючи Ісус мислї їх, рече: На що ви думаєте лукаве в серцях ваших?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Що ж бо легше: сказати: Одпускають ся тобі гріхи, чи сказати: Устань, та й ходи?
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
От же, щоб знали ви, що Син чоловічий мав власть на землі прощати гріхи, рече до розслабленого: Устань, візьми постїль твою, та й іди до дому твого!
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
І, вставши, пійшов до дому свого!
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Народ же, бачивши се, дивував ся і прославляв Бога, що дав таку власть людям.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
І проходячи Ісус ізвідтіля, побачив чоловіка, на ймя Маттея, що сидїв на митниці: і рече донего: Йди слїдом за мною. І, вставши, дійшов слїдом за Ним.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
І сталось, як сидів Він за столом у господі, аж ось поприходило багато митників і грішників, та й посідали з Ним і з учениками його.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
І бачивши се Фарисеї, казали ученикам Його: Як се ваш учитель їсть із митниками та грішниками?
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Ісус же, почувши, рече до них: Дужим не треба лікаря, тільки недужим.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
От же йдїть та навчіть ся, що воно єсть: Милости хочу, а не жертви. Не прийшов бо я звати праведних а грішних до покаяння.
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Приступили тодї до Него ученики, Йоанові, говорячи: Чого ми та фарисеї постимо часто, а твої ученики не постять.
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
І рече їм Ісус: Чи можуть весільні синове сумувати, поки з ними жених? Прийдуть же дні, що візьмуть од них жениха, тоді й постити муть.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
Нїхто не пришивав шматка нового сукна до старої одежини, бо відодреть ся його латка від одежини, й дірка буде гірша.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
І не наливають нового вина у старі міхи, а то міхи прорвуть ся, і вино витече, й міхи пропадуть; а наливають нове вино в міхи нові, то й буде все ціле.
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Говорить Він їм се, аж ось приходить один старшина, і, вклонившись Йому, каже: Дочка моя тільки що скінчилась; та прийди положи на неї руку твою, то й оживе.
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
І вставиш Ісус, пійшов за ним, і ученики Його.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
І ось жінка, що нездужала кровотіччю дванайцять років, приступила ззаду й приторкнулась до краю одежі Його:
бо казала сама собі: Як тільки приторкнусь до краю одежі Його, то спасусь.
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
Ісус же, обернувшись і побачивши її, рече: Дочко, бодрись; віра твоя спасла тебе. І спаслась жінка з того часу.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
І ввійшовши Ісус у господу до старшини, та побачивши сопільників та голосїльників,
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
рече до них: Уступіть ся: не вмерло бо дївча, а спить. І насьміхались із Него.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
От же, як випроваджено людей, та ввійшов Він і взяв її за руку, то дівча і встало.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
І рознеслась про се чутка широко по всій землі тій.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
І як вийшов Ісус ізвідтіля, ійшліо слїдом за Ним двоє слїпих, і, порикуючи, казали: Сину Давидів, помилуй нас.
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
І, як увійшов у господу, приступили до Него слїпі; й рече їм Ісус: Чи вірувте ви, що я можу се зробити? Кажуть Йому: Так, Господи.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Тодї приторкнув ся Він до очей їх, і рече: По вірі вашій нехай станеть ся вам.
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
І відкрились їм очі. І заказав їм Ісус: Гледїть, щоб нїхто не довідавсь.
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Вони ж, вийшовши, розпустили про Него чутку по всїй землї тій.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Як же вони виходили, ось приведено до Него нїмого чоловіка біснуватого.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
І, як вигнав Він біса, почав нїмий говорити; й дивувались люде, кажучи: Ніколи не явилось такого в Ізраїлї.
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Фарисеї ж казали: Виганяв Він біси князем бісовським.
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
І ходив Ісус по всіх городах і селах, навчаючи по школах їх, і проповідуючи євангелию царства, й сцїляючи всяку болїсть і всяку неміч між людьми.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Поглядаючи ж на людей, жалкував над ними, що були потомлені й розпорошені, як вівцї без пастиря.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Рече тодї ученикам своїм: Жнива багато, робітника ж мало.
38 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 [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Просіть Господа жнива, щоб вислав женців на жниво своє.
