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.
І сталось одно́го з тих днів, як навчав Він у храмі людей, та Добру Нови́ну звіщав, прийшли первосвященики й книжники з старшими,
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]?”
та й до Нього промовили, кажучи: „Скажи нам, якою вла́дою Ти чиниш оце? Або хто Тобі вла́ду цю дав?“
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
І промовив до них Він у відповідь: „Запитаю й Я вас одну річ, — і відповідайте 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 хрищення з неба було́, 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 міркували собі й говорили: „Коли скажемо: „З неба“, відкаже: „Чого ж ви йому не повірили?“
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].”
А як скажемо: „Від людей“, то всі люди камінням поб'ють нас, бо були переко́нані, що Іван — то пророк“.
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
І вони відповіли, що не знають, ізвідки.
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].”
А Ісус відказав їм: „То й Я не скажу́ вам, якою вла́дою Я це чиню́“.
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 Він розповідати почав людям при́тчу оцю. „Один чоловік насадив виноградника, і віддав його винаря́м, та й відбув на час довший.
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.
А певного ча́су послав він раба до своїх винарі́в, щоб дали йому частку з плоді́в виноградника. Та побили його винарі, і відіслали 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.
І знову послав він до них раба і́ншого, а вони й того збили й знева́жили, — та й відіслали ні з чим.
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
І послав він ще третього, а вони й того зранили й вигнали.
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].’
Сказав тоді пан виноградника: „Що́ маю робити? Пошлю свого сина улю́бленого, — може його посоро́мляться“.
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!’
Винарі́ ж, як його вгледіли, міркували собі та казали: „Це спадкоє́мець; ходім, замордуймо його, щоб спа́дщина наша була́“.
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]
І вони його вивели за виноградника, та й убили... Що́ ж зробить їм пан 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 при́йде та й вигубить цих винарів, виноградника ж іншим віддасть“. Слухачі ж повіли́: „Нехай цього не станеться!“
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].
А Він глянув на них та й сказав: „Що ж оце, що написане: „Камінь, що його будівничі відкинули, той нарі́жним став 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 впаде́ на цей камінь — розі́б'ється, а на кого він сам упаде́, — то розчавить його́“.
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].
А книжники й первосвященики руки на Нього хотіли накласти тієї години, але побоялись наро́ду. Бо вони розуміли, що про них Він цю притчу сказав.
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 вони слідкували за Ним, і підіслали підгля́дачів, які праведних із себе вдавали, щоб зловити на слові Його, і Його видати урядові й вла́ді 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.
І вони запитали Його та сказали: „Учителю, знаємо ми, що Ти добре говориш і навчаєш, і не дивишся на обли́ччя, але наставляєш на Божу дорогу правдиво.
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 годи́ться давати податок для ке́саря, 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,
Знаючи ж їхню хитрість, сказав Він до них: „Чого ви Мене випробо́вуєте?
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].”
Покажіте дина́рія Мені. Чий образ і напис він має?“Вони відказали: „Кесарів“.
25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
А Він їм відказав: „Тож віддайте ке́сареве — ке́сареві, 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.
І не могли вони перед людьми́ зловити на слові Його. І дивува́лись вони з Його відповіді, та й 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.
І підійшли дехто із саддукеїв, що твердять, ніби немає воскресі́ння, 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].
та сказали: „Учителю, Мойсей написав нам: „Як умре кому брат, який має дружи́ну, а помре бездітний, — то нехай його брат візьме дружи́ну, і відно́вить насіння для брата свого“.
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 ж сім братів. І перший, узявши дружи́ну, бездітний умер.
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
І другий узяв був ту дружи́ну, та й той вмер бездітний.
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 узяв був її, так само й усі се́меро, — і вони дітей не позоставили, та й повмирали.
32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
А по всіх умерла 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]”
А в воскресі́нні котро́му із них вона дружи́ною буде? Бо семеро мали за дружину її“.
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 же промовив у відповідь їм: „Женяться й заміж виходять сини цього віку. (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)
А ті, що будуть достойні того віку й воскресі́ння з мертвих, — не будуть ні женитись, ні заміж вихо́дити, (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.
ні вмерти вже не можуть, бо рівні вони ангола́м, і вони сини Божі, синами воскресі́ння бувши.
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 що мертві встають, то й Мойсей показав — при кущі, — коли він назвав Господа „Богом Авраамовим, і Богом Ісаковим, і Богом Якововим“.
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]!”
Бог же не є Богом мертвих, а живих, бо всі в Нього живуть.“
39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
Дехто ж із книжників відповіли та 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 вже не насмілювалися питати Його ні про що́.
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]
І сказав Він до них: „Як то кажуть, що Христос син Давидів?
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].
Таж Давид сам говорить у книзі Псалмів: „Промовив Господь Господе́ві моєму: сядь право́руч Мене,
43 [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
поки не покладу́ Я Твоїх ворогів підніжком ногам Твоїм!“
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]?”
Отже, Давид Його Господом зве, — як же Він йому син?“
45 While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
І, як увесь наро́д слухав, Він промовив до учнів Своїх:
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, що хочуть у довгих одежах ходити, і люблять привіти на ринках, і перші лавки́ в синагогах, і перші місця на бенке́тах,
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.”
що вдови́ні хати́ поїдають, і моляться довго напо́каз, — вони тяжче осу́дження при́ймуть!“
