Від Луки 20
1 І сталось одного з тих днів, як навчав Він народ у церкві та благовіствував, поприходили архиєреї та письменники з старшими,
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 і промовили до Него, кажучи: Скажи нам, якою властю се робиш? або хто дав Тобі власть сю?
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 Відказуючи ж рече до них: Спитаю вас і я про одну річ, і скажіть мені:
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 Хрещеннє Йоанове з неба було чи від людей?
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 Вони ж міркували в собі говорячи: Коли скажемо: З неба, казати ме: Чом же не поняли ви віри йому?
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 Коли ж скажемо: Від людей, то ввесь народ покаменує нас; певен бо він, що Йоан пророк.
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 І відказали, що не знають, звідкіля.
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 А Ісус Їм рече: То й я не скажу вам, якою властю я се роблю.
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 Почав же до народу глаголати приповість сю: Один чоловік насадив виноградник, та й дав його виноградарям, та й від'їхав на довгий час.
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 І післав у пору до виноградарів слугу, щоб з овощу винограднього дали йому; виноградарі ж, побивши його, відослали впорожні.
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 І післав ще другого слугу; вони ж і того, побивши та обезчестивши, відослали впорожні,
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 І післав ще третього; вони ж і сього, поранивши, прогнали.
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 Рече ж пан виноградинка: Що робити? пішлю сина мого любого: може, того побачивши, посоромлять ся.
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 Побачивши ж його виноградарі, казали між собою, говорячи: Се наслїдник; ходімо вбємо його, щоб наше було наслїддє.
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 І, викинувши його за виноградник, убили. Що ж робити ме пан виноградника?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 Прийде та й вигубить виноградарів сих, і дасть виноградник иншим. Почувши ж, сказали: Борони Боже!
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 Він же, поглянувши на них, рече: Що ж се написано? Камінь, що відкинули будівничі; сей став ся головою угла?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 Всякий, хто впаде на той камінь, розібєть ся, на кого ж він упаде, розітре його.
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 І шукали архиєреї та письменники наложити на Него руки тієї години, та боялись народу; зрозуміли бо що до них приповість сю сказав.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 І, назираючи Його, післали підглядників, що видавали себе за праведних, щоб схопити Його на слові та віддати старшині та власті игемоновій.
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 І питали вони Його, кажучи: Учителю, знаємо, що право говориш, і навчаєш, і не дивиш ся на лице, а по правді на путь Божий наставляєш.
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 Годить ся нам кесареві данину давати, чи нї?
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 Постерігши ж їх підступ, рече до них: Що мене спокутуєте?
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 Покажіть менї денария. Чиє мав обличчє і надпись? Озвавшися ж сказали: Кесареве.
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 Він же рече їм: Оддайте ж оце кесареве кесареві, а Боже Богові.
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 І не могли вони схопити Його на слові перед народом; і, дивуючись одповіддю Його, мовчали.
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 Приступивши ж тоді деякі з Садукеїв, котрі перечять, шо є воекресеннє, питали Його,
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 говорячи: Учителю, Мойсей написав нам: Коли чий брат умре, мавши жінку, й сей бездітний умре, щоб узяв брат його жінку й воскресив насїннє братові своєму.
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 Сім оце братів було; й первий, взявши жінку, умер бездітний.
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 І взяв другий жінку, та й сей умер бездітний.
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 І третій узяв її, та й не зоставили дітей, і повмирали.
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 Опісля ж усїх умерла й жінка.
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 Оце ж у воскресенню кому з них буде жінкою? сім бо мали її за жінку.
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 которі ж удостоють ся дождати віку того й воскресення з мертвих, ті нї женять ся анї віддають заміж: (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 бо ані вмерти не можуть, рівні бо ангелам і сини вони Божі, воскресення синами бувши.
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 А що встають мертві, то й Мойсей показав коло купини, як зве Господа Богом Авраама, й Богом Ісаака, й Богом Якова.
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 Бог же не мертвих а живих, всї бо Йому живуть.
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 Озвавши ся ж деякі з письменників, казали: Учителю, добре глаголав єси.
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 І більш не сьміли питати Його нї про що.
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 Рече ж до них: Як се кажуть, що Христос син Давидів?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 А сам Давид говорить у книзї псальм: Рече Господь Господеві моєму: Сиди по правиці в мене,
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 доки положу ворогів Твоїх підніжком ніг твоїх.
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 Давид оце Господом Його зве: як же Він син Його?
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 Як же слухав увесь народ, рече ученикам своїм:
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 Остерегайтесь письменників, що бажають ходити в шатах, та люблять витання на торгах, та перві сїдалища по школах, та перві місця на бенкетах;
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 що жеруть доми вдовиць, і для виду довго молять ся. Сї приймуть ще тяжчий осуд.
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
