Luke 17
1 [One day Jesus] said to his disciples, “Things that will tempt [people] to sin are certain to happen, but it will be terrible for anyone who causes them to happen!
Потім [Ісус] промовив до своїх учнів: ―Неможливо, щоб спокуси не приходили, але горе тому, через кого приходить [спокуса].
2 Suppose you caused one of these people who [do not believe in me very strongly] to sin. If a huge stone was fastened {someone fastened a huge stone} around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that a severe punishment, but God will punish] you even more severely [if you cause someone to sin!]
Для нього було б краще, якби йому повісили млинове жорно на шию й кинули в море, ніж щоб він спокусив одного з цих малих.
3 Be careful [how you act]. If you [know about] a fellow believer who sins, you [(sg)] should rebuke him. If he [says that he] is sorry for having sinned [and asks you to forgive him], forgive him.
Зважайте на себе! Якщо твій брат согрішить проти тебе, докори йому; а коли він покається, прости його.
4 Even if he sins against you [(sg)] seven times in one day, if he comes to you each time and says, ‘I am sorry for what I did’, you must continue forgiving him.”
І якщо він согрішить сім разів на день і сім разів прийде й скаже: «Я каюсь», – прости його.
5 [One day] the apostles said to the Lord, “Help us to trust [in you] (OR, [in God]) more strongly!”
Апостоли сказали Господеві: ―Додай нам віри!
6 The Lord replied, “Mustard [seeds are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe that God [will do what you ask him to, you will be able to do anything]. You could [even] say to this mulberry tree, ‘Pull yourself out [with your roots] and plant yourself in the sea!’ and it would obey you!”
Господь відповів: ―Якби ви мали віру, як гірчичне зерно, то сказали б цій шовковиці: «Вирвись із корінням і пересадись у море!», – і вона послухала б вас.
7 [Jesus also said], “Suppose that one of you had a servant who was plowing [your fields] or taking care of your sheep. After he comes into the house from the field, you [(sg)] would not say [RHQ], ‘Sit down and eat immediately!’
Хто з вас, маючи раба, який оре або пасе овець, скаже йому, коли він повернеться з поля: «Іди мерщій та сідай до столу?»
8 Instead, you would say to him, ‘Put on your apron and prepare a meal for me! Then serve it to me so that I can eat and drink! Afterwards you [(sg)] can eat and drink.’
А чи не скаже йому радше: «Приготуй мені вечерю та, підперезавшись, прислуговуй мені, поки я буду їсти та пити, а потім їж і пий сам?»
9 (You will not thank your servant for doing the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do!/Would you thank your servant because he did the work that he had been told {you had told him} to do?) [RHQ]
Чи дякує хазяїн рабу за те, що той виконав наказ?
10 Similarly, when you [(pl)] have done everything that [God] has told you to do, you should say, ‘We [(inc)] are not worthy [of God thanking us] {[being thanked]}. We are only God’s servants. We have only done the things that he told us to do.’”
Так само й ви, коли зробите все, що вам було доручено, кажіть: «Ми раби недостойні, котрі зробили тільки те, що повинні були зробити».
11 As [Jesus and his disciples] were walking along the road to Jerusalem, they were going through [the region] between Samaria and Galilee [districts].
Ідучи до Єрусалима, [Ісус] проходив між Самарією та Галілеєю.
12 As they entered one village, ten lepers came near the road. [Because lepers were not permitted to come near other people], they stood at some distance
І коли Він входив в одне село, зустріли Його десятеро прокажених. Вони зупинилися неподалік
13 and called out, “Jesus, Master, pity us [and heal us]!”
та голосно прокричали: ―Ісусе, Наставнику, змилуйся над нами!
14 When he saw them, he said [to them], “Each of you should go and show yourself to a priest [in Jerusalem so that he can see if you are healed].” As they were going [there], they were healed.
Побачивши їх, Він сказав: ―Ідіть та покажіться священникам! І, коли вони йшли, очистилися.
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, praising God loudly.
Один із них, побачивши, що зцілився, повернувся, голосно прославляючи Бога.
16 He [came to Jesus], prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet, and thanked him. This man was a Samaritan, [not a Jew].
І припав лицем до ніг [Ісуса], дякуючи Йому. Він був самарянином.
17 Then Jesus said, “[I] healed ten [lepers] (I am disappointed that the other nine did not come back!/Where are the other nine?) [RHQ]
Ісус промовив: ―Хіба не десять очистилося? Де ж дев’ять?
18 I am disappointed [RHQ] that this non-Jewish man was the only one who returned to thank God; none of the others came back to me!”
Невже жоден із них, окрім цього чужинця, не повернувся віддати славу Богові?
19 Then he said to the man, “Get up and continue on your journey. [God] [PRS] [has saved you and] healed you [(sg)] because you trusted [in me].”
Потім сказав йому: ―Встань та йди, твоя віра спасла тебе!
20 [One day] Jesus was asked by [some] Pharisees [SYN] {[some] Pharisees [SYN] asked [Jesus]}, “When is God [going] to rule as king?” He replied, “God’s ruling [MET] is not something people will be able to see with their eyes.
Фарисеї запитали Його, коли прийде Царство Боже. [Ісус] відповів: ―Царство Боже прийде непомітно.
21 And people will not be able to say, ‘Look! He is [ruling] here!’ Or ‘He is [ruling] over there!’ because, [contrary to what you think], God’s ruling is people’s inner beings (OR, is already happening among you).”
Ніхто не зможе сказати: «Ось воно тут!» або: «Воно там!», бо Царство Боже серед вас.
22 [Jesus] said to his disciples, “There will be a time when you will want to see [me] [MTY], the one who came from heaven, [ruling powerfully]. But you will not see that.
Потім Він промовив до учнів: ―Прийдуть дні, коли забажаєте побачити бодай один день Сина Людського, але не побачите.
23 [Some] people will say to you, ‘Look, [the Messiah] is over there!’ or [they will say] ‘Look, he is here!’ When they say that, do not believe them. Do not follow them [to go see the Messiah].
Скажуть вам: «Ось Він там!» або: «Ось Він тут!» – не ходіть і не біжіть за ними!
24 Because when the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, [everyone can see it. Similarly] [SIM], at the time [MTY] when [I], the one who came from heaven, come back again, [everyone will see me].
Бо як блискавка, блиснувши, освітлює небо від одного краю до іншого, так буде й Син Людський у день Свій.
25 But before that happens, I must suffer in many ways (OR, very much). And I will be rejected by people {people will reject me}, [even though] they [have observed me doing good for people].
Але перше Йому треба багато страждати та бути відкинутим цим поколінням.
26 But when [I], the one who came from heaven, [come again, people] will be doing things just like people were doing at the time when [MTY] Noah [lived].
Як було за днів Ноя, так буде й за днів Сина Людського:
27 [At that time] people ate and drank [as usual], and they got married [as usual], up until the day when Noah [and his family] entered the big boat. But then the flood came and destroyed all those [who were not in the boat].
[люди] їли, пили, одружувались, виходили заміж аж до дня, коли Ной увійшов у ковчег, і прийшов потоп та знищив усіх.
28 Similarly, when Lot lived [in Sodom city], people [there] ate and drank [as usual]. They bought things and they sold things. They planted [crops] and they built [houses as usual].
Так само, як було й за днів Лота: [люди] їли, пили, продавали, купували, садили, будували;
29 But on the day that Lot [and his family] left Sodom, fire and [burning] sulfur came down from the sky and destroyed all those [who stayed in the city].
але того дня, коли Лот вийшов із Содома, з неба випав дощ вогню й сірки та знищив їх.
30 Similarly, when [I], the one who came from heaven, return to earth, [people will be unprepared] (OR, [enjoying normal life]).
Так буде й того дня, коли Син Людський з’явиться.
31 On that day, those who are outside their houses, with all the things that they own inside [the houses], must not go [in] to take them away, [because there will not be enough time to do that]. Similarly, those who are working in a field must not go back home [to get anything]; [they must flee immediately].
Того дня, хто буде на даху, а речі його в домі, нехай не сходить за ними; і хто буде в полі, також нехай не вертається назад.
32 Remember Lot’s wife! [Because she turned back and wanted to get some of her things from Sodom, she died immediately and became a pillar of salt].
Пам’ятайте про дружину Лота.
33 Anyone who wants to hold onto his life [and his possessions] will not [receive eternal] life. But anyone who is [willing to] die [for my sake] will live [eternally].
Хто намагатиметься спасти своє життя, той загубить його; а хто втратить життя, той його збереже.
34 I tell you this: On the night [when I return], there will be two people [sleeping] in one bed. The one [who believes in me] will be taken {[God] will take the one [who believes in me]} [to heaven], and the other one will be left [behind and punished] {and [he] will leave the other one [behind and punish him]}.
Кажу вам, що тієї ночі будуть двоє на одному ліжку: одного буде взято, а другого залишено.
35 Two women will be grinding grain together; one will be taken and the other left {[God] will take one and leave the other} [behind].”
Дві жінки будуть молоти разом: одну буде взято, а другу залишено.
Двоє чоловіків будуть у полі: одного візьмуть, а другого залишать.
37 [His disciples] said to him, “Lord, where [will this happen]?” He replied to them, “Wherever there is an animal carcass, the vultures will gather [to eat it] [MET]. [Similarly, wherever there are people who are spiritually dead, God will punish them].”
Вони запитали: ―Де, Господи? Ісус відповів: ―Де буде тіло, там зберуться й орли.
