Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Петр та Йоан ійшли вкупі до церкви на молитву о девятій годинї.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
І несено одного чоловіка, що був кривий від утроби матери своєї, котрого кладено що дня перед церковними дверима, званими Гарними, просити милостині в тих, що входили в церкву.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Побачивши він Петра та Йоана, що хотїли ввійти в церкву, просив милостині.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Споглянувши ж Петр на него з Йоаном, рече: Подивись на нас.
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Він же дивив ся пильно на них, сподіваючись що від них прийняти.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Рече ж Петр: Срібла та золота нема в мене; що ж маю, се тобі даю. В імя Ісуса Христа Назорея встань і ходи.
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
І, взявши його за праву руку, звів угору, і зараз його ноги й колїна окрепились,
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
і підскочивши, став та ходив, і ввійшов із ними в церкву, походжаючи, та скачучи, та хвалячи Бога.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
І видів його ввесь народ ходячого й хвалячого Бога.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
А знали його, що се той, що для милостинї сидїв коло Гарних дверей церковних, і сповнили ся страхом і дивом над тим, що сталось йому.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Як же держав ся сцїлений кривий коло Петра та Йоана, збіг ся до них увесь народ у ходник званий Соломонів, дивуючись.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
І вбачаючи се Петр, озвав ся до народу: Мужі Ізраїльскі, чого ви чудуєте ся сим? або чого так пильно до нас дивитись, мов би своєю силою або побожністю зробили ми, щоб ходив він?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Бог Авраамів, та Ісааків, та Яковів. Бог отцїв наших, прославив Сина свого Ісуса, що ви видали та відреклись Його перед Пилатом, як судив він відпустити Його.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Ви ні Сьвятого й Праведного відреклись, і просили дарувати вам чоловіка душогубця,
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
а Князя життя убили, котрого Бог воскресив з мертвих; Йому ми сьвідки.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
І через віру в імя Його, сього, що бачите й знаєте, окрепило імя Його, і віра, що через Него, дала йому се сцїленнє перед усїма вами.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
І тепер, брати, знаю, що через незнаннє зробили ви, як і князї ваші.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Бог же, що наперед звістив устами всїх пророків своїх про муки Христові, сповнив так.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Покайте ся ж і навернїть ся, щоб очистились од гріхів ваших, як прийде час покріплення від лиця Господнього,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
і пішле наперед проповіданого вам Ісуса Христа,
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
котрого мусїло небо прийняти аж до часу новонастання всього, що глаголав Бог устами всїх сьвятих своїх пророків од віку. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Мойсей бо до отцїв промовив: Що пророка підійме вам Господь Бог ваш із братів ваших, як мене. Сього слухайте у всьому, що глаголати ме вам.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Буде ж, що всяка душа, котра не слухати ме пророка того, погубить ся з народу.
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
І всї пророки від Самуїла й після сих, скільки їх промовляло, також наперед сповіщали про днї сесї.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
Ви ж сини пророків і завіту, що положив Бог з отцями нашими, глаголючи Авраамові: І в насїннї твоїм благословенні будуть усї народи землї.
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
Вам найперше, піднявши Бог Сина свого Ісуса, післав Його благословити вас, щоб кожен одвернувсь од лукавства свого.
