Luke 11
1 One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
И когато Той се молеше на едно място, като престана, един от Неговите ученици Му рече: Господи, научи ни да се молим както и Иоан е научил своите ученици.
2 He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
А Той им каза: Когато се молите, думайте: Отче [наш, Който си на небесата], да се свети Твоето име; да дойде Твоето царство, [да бъде Твоята воля, както на небето, така и на земята];
3 Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
давай ни всеки ден ежедневния ни хляб;
4 Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
и прости греховете ни, защото и сами ние прощаваме на всеки наш длъжник; и не въвеждай ни в изкушение, [но избави ни от лукавия].
5 Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
И каза им: Ако някой от вас има приятел и отиде при него посред нощ, и му рече: Приятелю, дай ми на заем три хляба,
6 Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
понеже един мой приятел дойде у дома от път, и нямам какво да сложа пред него;
7 Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
и ако той отвътре в отговор рече: Не ме безпокой; вратата е вече заключена, и децата ми са с мене на легло; не мога да стана да ти дам;
8 I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
казвам ви, че даже ако не стане да му даде, защото му е приятел, то поради неговата настойчивост ще стане и ще му даде колкото му трябва.
9 So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
И аз ви казвам: Искайте, и ще ви се даде; търсете, и ще намерите; хлопайте и ще ви се отвори.
10 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep urgently praying for].
Защото всеки, който иска, получава; който търси, намира; и на онзи, който хлопа, ще се отвори.
11 If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
И кой е оня баща между вас, който, ако му поиска син му хляб, ще му даде камък? Или, ако му поиска риба, наместо риба, ще му даде змия?
12 If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
Или, ако поиска яйце, ще му даде скорпия?
13 Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
И тъй, ако вие, които сте зли знаете да давате блага на чадата си, колко повече Небесният Отец ще даде Святия Дух на ония, които искат от Него!
14 [One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
Еднаж Той изгонваше един ням бяс; и като излезе бясът, немият проговори, и народът се почуди.
15 But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
А някои от тях рекоха: Чрез началника на бесовете, Веелзевул, изгонва бесовете.
16 Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
А други, изпитвайки Го, искаха от Него знамение от небето.
17 But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
Но той, като знаеше техните помисли, каза им: Всяко царство, разделено против себе си, запустява, и дом, разделен против себе си, (Гръцки: Против дома.) пада.
18 [Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
Така също, ако Сатана се раздели против себе си, как ще устои царството му? Понеже казвате, че изгонвам бесовете, чрез Веелзевула,
19 Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
и ако Аз чрез Веелзевула изгонвам бесовете, вашите синове чрез кого ги изгонват? Затова, те ще ви бъдат съдии.
20 But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
Но ако Аз с Божия пръст изгонвам бесовете, то Божието царство е достигнало до вас.
21 Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
Когато силният въоръжен човек пази двора си, имотът му е в безопасност.
22 But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
Но когато един по-силен от него нападне и му надвие, взема му всичкото оръжие, на което се е надявал, и разподеля каквото грабне от него.
23 [No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
Който не е с Мене, той е против Мене; и който не събира заедно с Мене, той разпилява.
24 [Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
. Когато нечистият дух излезе от човека, той минава през безводни места и търси спокойствие; и като не намери, казва: Ще се върна в къщата си, отдето съм излязъл.
25 So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
И като дойде, намира я пометена и наредена.
26 Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
Тогава отива и взема със себе си седем други духове по-зли от него, и като влязат, живеят там; и последното състояние на оня човек става по-лошо от първото.
27 When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
Когато говореше това, една жена от множеството със силен глас Му рече: Блажена утробата, която Те е носила, и съсците, които си сукал.
28 But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
А Той рече: По-добре кажи: Блажени ония, които слушат Божието слово и го пазят.
29 When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
А когато народът се събираше около Него, почна да казва: Това поколение е нечестиво поколение; иска знамение, но друго знамение няма да му се даде, освен знамението на [пророка] Иона.
30 [After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
Защото както Иона стана знамение на ниневийците, така и Човешкият Син ще бъде на това поколение.
31 [Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
Южната царица ще се яви на съда с човеците от това поколение и ще ги осъди, защото дойде от краищата на земята да чуе Соломоновата мъдрост; а, ето, тук има повече от Соломона.
32 The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
Ниневийските мъже ще се явят на съда с това поколение и ще го осъдят, защото се покаяха чрез Ионовата проповед; а, ето, тук има повече от Иона.
33 [Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
Никой, като запали светило, не го туря в зимника, нито под шиника, но на светилника, за да виждат светлината ония, които влизат.
34 Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
Светило на тялото ти е твоето око; когато окото ти е здраво, то и цялото ти тяло е осветлено; а когато е болнаво, и тялото ти е в мрак.
35 Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
Затова, внимавай, да не би светлината в тебе да е тъмнина.
36 If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
Ако, прочее, цялото твое тяло бъде осветено, без да има тъмна част, то цяло ще бъде осветено, както кога светилото се осветява със сиянието си.
37 While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
Като говореше, един фарисей Го покани да обядва у него; и Той влезе и седна на трапезата.
38 The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
Фарисеят се почуди, като видя, че Той не се оми първо преди обеда.
39 The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
И Господ му каза: Сега вие фарисеите чистите външното на чашата и на паницата; а вашето вътрешно е пълно с грабеж и нечестие.
40 You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
Несмислени! Тоя, който е направил външното, не е ли направил и вътрешното?
41 Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
По-добре чистете вътрешното; и ето, всичко ще ви бъде чисто.
42 But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
Но горко на вас фарисеи, защото давате десетък от гьозума, от седефчето и от всякакъв зеленчук, и пренебрегвате правосъдието и Божията любов. Но тия трябваше да правите, а ония да не пренебрегвате.
43 There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
Горко вам фарисеи! Защото обичате първите столове в синагогите и поздравите по пазарите.
44 There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
Горко вам! Защото сте като гробове, които не личат, тъй щото човеците, които ходят по тях, не знаят.
45 One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
И един от законниците в отговор Му рече: Учителю, като казваш това, и нас кориш.
46 Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
А Той каза: Горко и на вас, законниците, защото товарите човеците с бремена, които тежко се носят; а сами вие нито с един пръст не се допирате до бремената.
47 There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
Горко вам! Защото градите гробниците на пророците, а бащите ви ги избиха.
48 So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
И тъй, вие свидетелствувате за делата на бащите си и се съгласявате с тях; защото те ги избиха, а вие им градите гробниците.
49 So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
Затова и Божията премъдрост рече: Ще им пращам пророци и апостоли и едни от тях ще убият и изгонят;
50 [As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
за да се изиска от това поколение кръвта на всичките пророци, която е проливана от създаването на света,
51 starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
от кръвта на Авела до кръвта на Захария, който загина между олтара и светилището. Да! Казвам ви, ще се изиска от това поколение.
52 There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
Горко но вас, законници! Защото отнехте ключа на знанието; сами вие не влязохте, и на влизащите попречихте.
53 After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
И като излезе оттам, книжниците и фарисеите почнаха яростно да Го преследват и да Го предизвикват да говори за още много неща,
54 They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
като Го дебнеха, за да уловят нещо от думите Му.
