Від Луки 5
1 Одного разу, коли [Ісус] знаходився біля озера Генезарет і натовп людей тиснувся до Нього, аби слухати Слово Боже,
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 Він побачив два човни, що стояли біля берега. А рибалки, вийшовши з них, чистили сіті.
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 [Ісус] увійшов до одного з човнів, який належав Симонові, попросив його відплисти трохи від берега й, присівши, навчав людей із човна.
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 Коли ж закінчив говорити, сказав Симонові: ―Відпливи на глибину, та закиньте сіті для лову.
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 Симон сказав у відповідь: ―Наставнику, ми цілу ніч працювали та нічого не впіймали, але за Твоїм словом я закину сіті.
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 Зробивши це, піймали так багато риби, що сіті почали рватись.
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 Вони покликали й своїх товаришів з іншого човна, щоб прийшли допомогти їм. Ті прийшли й наповнили рибою обидва човни так, що вони стали потопати.
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 Побачивши це, Симон Петро припав до колін Ісуса та промовив: ―Господи, відійди від мене, бо я людина грішна!
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 Адже страх охопив його й усіх, хто був із ним, від такої кількості спійманої риби,
10 а також Якова та Івана, синів Зеведеєвих, котрі були спільниками Симона. І промовив Ісус до Симона: ―Не бійся, віднині будеш ловити людей.
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 Витягнувши човни на берег, вони залишили все та пішли за Ним.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 Коли [Ісус] перебував в одному місті, прийшов до нього чоловік, що був увесь покритий проказою. Побачивши Ісуса, він впав долілиць та просив Його, кажучи: ―Господи, якщо хочеш, Ти можеш мене очистити.
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 [Ісус] простягнув руку, доторкнувся до нього й промовив: ―Хочу, будь чистим! І вмить проказа залишила його.
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 [Ісус] наказав йому: ―Нікому не кажи про це, але йди, покажи себе священникові та принеси жертву за своє очищення, як наказав Мойсей, їм на свідчення.
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 Однак звістка про Ісуса розходилася ще більше, і багато людей приходило до Нього послухати та отримати зцілення від своїх хвороб.
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 Він же відходив у пустелю та молився там.
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 Одного дня, коли [Ісус] навчав людей, були там фарисеї та вчителі Закону, що прийшли з усіх сіл Галілеї та Юдеї, а також з Єрусалима; і сила Господня була з Ним, щоби зцілювати,
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 І ось декілька людей принесли на носилках паралізованого та хотіли внести його й поставити перед Ісусом.
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Не маючи можливості внести його через натовп, вони залізли на дах та спустили його разом із носилками через отвір у покрівлі на середину, прямо перед Ісусом.
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 Побачивши їхню віру, Він промовив: «Друже, прощаються тобі гріхи твої!»
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 Книжники та фарисеї почали розмірковувати кажучи: «Хто Він такий, що богохульствує? Хто може прощати гріхи, окрім Самого Бога?»
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 Але Ісус, знаючи їхні думки, відповів: «Чому ви так роздумуєте у ваших серцях?
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 Що легше сказати: „Прощаються тобі гріхи твої!“чи „Встань і ходи!“?
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 Але щоб ви знали: Син Людський має владу на землі прощати гріхи». І промовив до паралізованого: «Кажу тобі: встань, візьми свої носилки та йди додому!»
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will 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 man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 Той відразу ж встав перед ними, узяв те, на чому лежав, і пішов додому, прославляючи Бога.
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 Усіх охопив подив, і почали прославляти Бога. Сповнені страхом, вони говорили: «Дивовижні речі ми бачили сьогодні!»
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 Після цього [Ісус] вийшов та побачив митника, на ім’я Левій, що сидів при збиранні мита, і сказав йому: «Іди за Мною!»
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 Залишивши все, той піднявся й пішов за Ісусом.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 І влаштував Йому Левій у своєму домі велику гостину; там було багато митників та інших, що сиділи з Ісусом за столом.
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 А фарисеї та книжники нарікали, кажучи Його учням: ―Чому ви їсте та п’єте разом із митниками й грішниками?
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 Ісус же відповів їм: ―Не здорові потребують лікаря, а хворі.
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 Я прийшов покликати до покаяння не праведних, а грішників.
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 Тоді вони сказали Йому: ―Учні Івана часто постяться та моляться, так роблять і фарисеї, а Твої їдять і п’ють!
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 Ісус відповів: ―Чи можете друзів нареченого змусити постити, доки наречений з ними?
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 Але настануть дні, коли наречений забереться від них, і тоді поститимуть у ті дні.
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 Він розповів їм притчу: ―Ніхто не розриває нової одежі, щоби з неї пришити латку до старої одежі, бо й нову розірве, і до старої не пасує латка з нової.
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 Ніхто не вливає молодого вина в старі бурдюки, бо молоде вино розірве їх і виллється, а бурдюки пропадуть.
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 Але молоде вино треба вливати в нові бурдюки.
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 І ніхто, випивши старого вина, не захоче молодого, бо каже: «Старе краще!»
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
