Luke 20
1 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.
Одного дня, коли [Ісус] навчав народ у Храмі, проповідуючи Добру Звістку, до Нього підійшли первосвященники, книжники та старійшини
2 They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
й запитали Його: ―Скажи нам, якою владою Ти це робиш? Або хто дав Тобі таку владу?
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
[Ісус] сказав їм у відповідь: ―Запитаю і Я вас про одне. Скажіть Мені:
4 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?”
Іванове хрещення було з Неба чи від людей?
5 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]’
Вони ж стали говорити між собою: ―Якщо скажемо: «З неба», Він запитає: «Чому ж ви не повірили йому?»
6 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].”
Якщо ж ми скажемо: «Від людей», то весь народ поб’є нас камінням, бо вони переконані, що Іван був пророком.
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
Тож вони відповіли, що не знають, звідки воно.
8 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].”
Ісус сказав: ―Тоді і Я не скажу, якою владою це роблю.
9 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.
І почав Він розповідати людям таку притчу: ―Один чоловік посадив виноградник, здав його в оренду виноградарям та вирушив у подорож на довгий час.
10 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.
Коли надійшов час, він надіслав одного раба до виноградарів, щоб вони віддали його частину врожаю. Однак виноградарі побили його й відіслали назад ні з чим.
11 [Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
Він надіслав іншого раба, але вони й того, побивши та зневаживши, відіслали ні з чим.
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
Він надіслав третього, але вони й цього поранили та викинули з [виноградника].
13 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].’
Тоді господар виноградника подумав: «Що ж мені робити? Надішлю [до них] мого улюбленого сина, може, його поважатимуть!»
14 [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!’
Але виноградарі, побачивши його, сказали один одному: «Це спадкоємець, ходімо та вб’ємо його, щоб спадщина дісталася нам!»
15 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]
Вони його вивели з виноградника та вбили. Що ж зробить із ними господар виноградника?
16 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!”
Він прийде та вб’є тих виноградарів, а виноградник віддасть іншим. Тоді ті, хто слухав, сказали: ―Нехай не станеться так!
17 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].
Але [Ісус], подивившись на них, запитав: ―Тоді що означає написане: «Камінь, який відкинули будівничі, став наріжним каменем»?
18 [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.”
Кожен, хто впаде на цей камінь, буде розбитий, а той, на кого він впаде, буде розчавлений.
19 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].
Книжники та первосвященники шукали нагоди схопити [Ісуса], але боялися народу. Вони зрозуміли, що Він про них сказав цю притчу.
20 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].
І почали вони уважно слідкувати за Ним, надіслали людей, які вдавали із себе праведних, щоб спіймати Його на слові й видати владі намісника.
21 [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.
Вони запитали Його: ―Учителю, ми знаємо, що Ти правдиво говориш та навчаєш. Ти не зважаєш на людське обличчя, а правдиво навчаєш Божого шляху.
22 [So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
Чи годиться нам платити податок Кесареві, чи ні?
23 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,
Зрозумівши їхню хитрість, [Ісус] сказав їм:
24 “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].”
―Покажіть Мені динарій! Чиє на ньому зображення та напис? Вони відповіли: ―Кесаря!
25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
Тоді Він сказав: ―Тож віддайте Кесареві Кесареве, а Богові – Боже!
26 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.
Вони не змогли впіймати Його на слові перед народом і, здивовані Його відповіддю, замовкли.
27 Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
Тоді підійшли [до Ісуса] деякі садукеї, які кажуть, що немає воскресіння [з мертвих], і запитали Його:
28 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].
―Учителю, Мойсей написав нам: «Якщо чийсь брат помре та залишить дружину бездітною, то нехай його брат візьме дружину померлого та підніме нащадка своєму братові».
29 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.
Було семеро братів. Перший одружився та помер бездітним.
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
Потім другий
31 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.
і третій одружувалися з вдовою, і так усі семеро. Вони померли, не залишивши дітей після себе.
32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
Після всіх померла й жінка.
33 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]”
Отже, при воскресінні чиєю дружиною вона буде? Адже всі семеро мали її за дружину.
34 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)
Ісус відповів їм: ―Люди цього віку одружуються та виходять заміж. (aiōn g165)
35 But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
Але ті, що будуть достойні того віку й воскресіння з мертвих, не будуть одружуватись і не виходитимуть заміж. (aiōn g165)
36 [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.
І померти вже не зможуть, а будуть як ангели, бо вони є синами Божими та синами воскресіння.
37 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].
А те, що мертві воскресають, показав Мойсей при полум’ї вогню тернового куща, коли назвав Господа Богом Авраама, Богом Ісаака і Богом Якова.
38 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]!”
Він є Богом не мертвих, а живих! Для Нього всі живі!
39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
Деякі з книжників сказали: ―Учителю, Ти добре сказав!
40 After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
І більше ніхто не наважувався ставити Йому запитання.
41 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]
Потім [Ісус] запитав їх: ―Чому вони кажуть, що Христос є сином Давида?
42 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].
Сам же Давид каже в книзі Псалмів: «Господь сказав Господеві моєму: „Сядь праворуч від Мене,
43 [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
доки Я не покладу ворогів Твоїх, як підніжок для Твоїх ніг“».
44 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]?”
Давид називає Його Господом, як Він може бути його Сином?
45 While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
Коли весь народ слухав, [Ісус] промовив до учнів:
46 “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.
«Стережіться книжників: їм подобається одягатись у довгі одежі, вони люблять привітання на ринках, перші місця в синагогах та почесні місця на бенкетах.
47 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.”
Вони з’їдають доми вдів, але прикриваються довгими молитвами. Вони отримають суворіше покарання».
