John 7
1 After those things happened, Jesus went around in Galilee [province]. He did not want to travel in Judea [province], because he knew that the Jewish [leaders there] were wanting to kill him.
І ходив Ісус після сього по Галилеї; не хотів бо по Юдеї ходити, що шукали Його Жиди вбити.
2 But when the time of the Jewish celebration [called] ‘Celebration of [Living in] Shelters’ was near,
Було ж близько Жидівське сьвято кучок.
3 Jesus’ [younger] brothers said to him, “[Since many people] here [have left you], you should leave and go to Judea [province and perform] some miracles there, so that your disciples may see them!
Казали ж до Него брати Його: Зійди звідсїля, та й іди в Юдею, щоб і ученики Твої виділи діла Твої, що робиш.
4 No one who wants to become famous does things secretly. [You say] you are doing these miracles, [so do some miracles there] so that everyone [MTY] can see them!”
Ніхто бо тайно нїчого не робить, шукаючи сам знаним бути. Коли таке робиш, то покажи себе сьвітові.
5 [They said this critically], because even [though they were] his own [younger] brothers, they did not believe he [was from God].
Бо й брати Його не вірували в Него.
6 So Jesus said to them, “It is not yet time for me [MTY] [to go to the celebration]. For you, any time is right [to go to the celebration].
Рече тодї їм Ісус: Пора моя ще не прийшла; ваша ж пора всякого часу готова.
7 [The people] [MTY] [who] ([do not believe in me/do not belong to God]) cannot hate you, but they hate me because I tell them that what they are doing is evil.
Не може сьвіт ненавидіти вас, мене ж ненавидить; бо я сьвідкую про него, що діла його лихі.
8 You [(pl)] go ahead to the celebration. I am not going up [to Jerusalem] to the celebration [yet], because now is not the right time for me [to go].”
Ви йдїть на се сьвято; я ще не пійду на те сьвято, бо пора моя ще не сповнилась.
9 After he said that, Jesus stayed [a little longer] in Galilee.
Се сказавши їм, зіставсь у Галилеї.
10 However, [a few days] after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with [us] disciples, but no others went with us.
Як же пійшли брати Його, тодї й Він пійшов на сьвято, не явно, а якби потай.
11 At the celebration, the Jewish [leaders] were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
Жиди ж шукали Його в сьвято, й казали: Де Він?
12 Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
І було багато говірки про Него в народі: инші казали, що Він добрий; инші ж казали: Ні, а зводить народ.
13 But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
Та ніхто явно не говорив про Него задля страху перед Жидами.
14 In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach people.
Як же було в половинї сьвята, ввійшов Ісус у церкву, та й навчав.
15 The Jewish [elders] were amazed [at what he was saying]. They said, “This man never studied [in one of our religious schools]! So (how can he have learned [so much about Scripture]?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned [so much about Scripture]!) [RHQ]”
І дивувались Жиди, кажучи: Як Він писання знає, не вчившись?
16 Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from [God], the one who sent me.
Озвав ся до них Ісус і рече: Моя наука не єсть моя, а Пославшого мене.
17 Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with [only] my own [authority].
Коли хто хоче волю Його чинити, знати ме про науку, чи від Бога вона, чи я від себе глаголи.
18 Those who speak with [only] their own [authority] do that [only] so that others will honor them. But I am [doing things so that others] will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
Хто від себе говорить, слави своєї шукає; хто ж шукає слави Пославшого Його, Той правдивий, і неправди нема в Йому.
19 [Think about] the laws that Moses gave you [RHQ]. None of you [completely] obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, [saying I do not obey the laws concerning] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest])?”
Хиба не Мойсей дав вам закон? а ніхто з вас не чинить закону. Чого шукаєте мене вбити?
20 Someone in the crowd answered, “[By saying this you show that] you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
Озвавсь народ і каже: Біса маєш; хто шукає вбити Тебе?
21 Jesus replied to them, “Because I did a miracle [of healing someone] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), you are all shocked.
Відказав Ісус і рече їм: Одно діло зробив я, і всі дивуєтесь.
22 Moses gave you [a law that you must] circumcise [the male children and that you must do that exactly seven days after they are born. Actually], it was your ancestors, [Abraham and Isaac and Jacob], not Moses, who [started that ritual]. But because of that law, you sometimes circumcise them (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), [but that is working, too]
Мойсей дав вам обрізаннє (не, що від Мойсея воно, а від батьків); то й у суботу обрізуєте чоловіка.
23 You [sometimes] circumcise boys (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) so that the law of Moses is not disobeyed {[you] do not disobey the law of Moses}, so (it is ridiculous that you are angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man!/why are you angry with me, saying [I worked] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) by healing a man?) [RHQ] [Healing someone is far more helpful than circumcising a baby boy]!
Коли обрізаннє приймає чоловік у суботу, щоб не був зламаний закон Мойсеїв, чого на мене ремствуєте, що всього чоловіка уздоровив у суботу?
24 Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action [to help people]”!
Не судіть по виду, а праведний суд судїть.
25 Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “(This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn’t this the man that they are trying to kill?) [RHQ]
Казали тодї деякі з Єрусалимців: Чи не се Той, що шукають убити Його?
26 He is saying these things (publicly/in front of many people), but our [Jewish] rulers are not saying anything to [oppose] him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly (the Messiah/God’s chosen king)?
ось явно говорить, і нїчого Йому не кажуть. Чи справді не взнали князі, що Він справді Христос?
27 But [he cannot be the Messiah, because] we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
Тільки ж ми Його знаємо, звідкіля Він; Христос же, як прийде, ніхто не знати ме, звідкіля Він.
28 [They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth]. So while Jesus was teaching [people] in the Temple [courtyard], he shouted, “Yes, [you say that] you know me, and [you think] you know [IRO] where I am from. But I have come here not (because I appointed myself/with my own authority). Instead, [God] is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.
Покликне тодї в церкві Ісус, навчаючи й глаголючи: І мене знаєте, й знаєте, звідкіля я! а від себе не прийшов я, єсть же правдивий Пославший мене, котрого ви не знаєте.
29 But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”
Я ж знаю Його, бо я від Него; й Той мене післав.
30 Then they tried to seize him [because he said that he had come from God]. But no one put their hands on him [to do that], because it was not yet the time [MTY] [for him to die].
Шукали тодї, щоб схопити Його, та ніхто не зняв на Него руки, бо ще не прийшла година Його.
31 But many of the crowd believed that he [had come from God]. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”
Многі ж з народу увірували в Него, й казали: Що, як прийде Христос, чи більші сих ознак робити ме, які Сей зробив?
32 The Pharisees heard them whispering these things about him. So they and the chief priests sent some Temple guards to seize him.
Почули Фарисеї, що народ поговорював таке про Него, й післали Фарисеї та архиєреї слуги, щоб схопили Його.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you for only a short time. Then I will return to the one who sent me.
Рече їм тодї Ісус: Ще малий час я з вами, й пійду до Пославшого мене.
34 Then you will search for me, but you will not find me. And you will not be able to come to the place where I am.”
Шукати мете мене, та й не знайдете; й де я, ви не зможете прийти.
35 So the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said to themselves, “Where is this man about to go with the result that we will not be able to find him? [Some Jewish people have] dispersed [and live] among Greek people. He is not intending to go [and live among them] and teach them, is he?
Казали тодї Жиди між собою: Куди Він хоче йти, що ми не знайдемо Його? Чи не між розсипаних Геленян хоче йти та навчати Геленян?
36 When he said ‘You will search for me, but you will not be able to find me,’ and when he said ‘You will not be able to come to the place where I am,’ what [did he mean]?”
Що се за слово, що каже: Шукати мете мене, та й не знайдете? і: Де я, ви не можете прийти?
37 [On each of the seven days of the celebration, the high priest poured out some water on the altar in the Temple to remember how God provided water for the people in the desolate area long ago. But the water he poured did not help anyone who was thirsty. So] on the last day of the festival, which was the most important day, Jesus stood up [in the Temple courtyard] and said with a loud voice, “Those who are thirsty should come to me to drink [what I will give them].
В останній же великий день сьвята став Ісус, та й покликнув, глаголючи: Коли хто жаждує, нехай прийде до мене, та й пє.
38 Just like the Scriptures teach, streams of water shall flow out from within those who believe in me, and that water will cause them to live [eternally].”
Хто вірує в мене, як рече писаннє, ріки води живої з черева його потечуть.
39 When Jesus said that, he was referring to [God’s] Spirit, whom those who believed in Jesus would receive later. Up to that time God had not sent the Spirit [to live within believers], because Jesus had not yet [died and returned to his] glorious [home in] heaven, [from where he would send the Spirit].
Се ж глаголав про Духа, що мають прийняти віруючі в Него; ще бо не був (на них) Дух сьвятий, бо Ісус ще не прославив ся.
40 When some of the crowd heard those words, they said, “Surely this man is the prophet [whom God promised to send who would be like Moses]!”
Многі ж з народу, почувши се слово, сказали: Се справді пророк,
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah!” But others, [thinking Jesus was born in Galilee], said, “The Messiah will not come from Galilee [province], will he?
инші казали: Чи з Галилеї ж Христу приходити?
42 (Did [a prophet] not write in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived?/[It is written] in the Scriptures that the Messiah will come from [King] David’s family, and be born in Bethlehem, where [King] David lived!) [RHQ]”
Чи не глаголе ж писаннє, що з насіння Давидового й з Витлеєма села, де був Давид, Христос прийде?
43 So the people were divided because of [what they thought about] Jesus.
Тодї повстало роздїленнє в народі через Него.
44 Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried [to do that].
Деякі ж з них хотіли схопити Його; тільки ж ніхто не зняв на Него рук.
45 So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, [the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus]. They said to the guards, “Why did you not [seize him and] bring him [here]?”
Прийшли тодї слуги до архиєреїв та Фарисеїв, і казали їм вони: Чом не привели Його?
46 They replied, “No one ever spoke such [amazing things] as this man does!”
Відказали слуги: Ніколи так не говорив чоловік, як Сей чоловік.
47 Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has [he] deceived you}, too?
Відказали тодї їм Фарисеї: Чи й вас не зведено?
48 (None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that (he [is the Messiah]!/he [came from God]!)/Have any of our [Jewish] rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that (he [is the Messiah]?/he [came from God]?)) [RHQ]
Хиба хто з князїв увірував у Него, або з Фарисеїв?
49 Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd [have believed in him]. They do not know [the true teachings of] our laws! They will go to hell [for listening to him]!” (questioned)
А сей народ, що не знає закону, проклятий.
50 Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus [at night]. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to [the rest of the Council members],
Каже Никодим до них, котрий приходив у ночі до Него, бувши один з них:
51 “[We] have not listened to what he says to find out what he is doing. (It is not permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him!/Is it permitted in our [Jewish] law [PRS] for us to say, before questioning someone, that we must punish him?) [RHQ]”
Чи закон наш судить чоловіка, коли не вислухає його перше й не знає, що робить?
52 They replied to him, “(Are you another [disgusting person] from Galilee?/[You talk like] another [disgusting person] from Galilee!) [RHQ] Read [what is written in the Scriptures] You will find that no prophet comes from Galilee [province, like he does]!”
Озвались вони й казали йому: Чи й ти з Галилеї єси? Пошукай і подивись, що пророк з Галилеї не встає.
53 [Then they all left and went to their own homes.
пійшов кожен до дому свого.
