Luke 5
1 One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
І сталось, як народ товпивсь до Него слухати слово Боже, Він стояв коло озера Генисарецького.
2 He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
І побачив два човни, що стояли край озера, рибалки ж, одійшовши від них, полоскали неводи.
3 Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
Ввійшовши ж ув один з човнів, що був Симонів, просив його від землі відчалити трохи. І сівши, навчав народ із човна.
4 After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
Як же перестав глаголати, рече до Симона: Поступи на глибінь, та закиньте неводи ваші на ловитву.
5 Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
І озвавшись Симон, каже Йому: Наставниче, всю ніч трудившись, нїчого не піймали ми; тільки ж, по слову Твоєму, закину невода.
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
І, се зробивши, вловили пребагато риби; роздер ся ж невід їх,
7 They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
і махнули вони на товаришів своїх, що були в другому човні, щоб прийшли помогти їм. І прийшли вони, й сповнили обидва човни, так що потопали вони.
8 Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
Бачивши ж Симон Петр, припав до колїн Ісусових, кажучи: Йди від мене: бо я чоловік грішний. Господи.
Страх бо обняв його і всіх із ним од улову риби, що вловили.
10 But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
Так само й Якова і Йоана, синів Зеведеєвих, що були спільниками Симоновими. І рече до Симона Ісус: Не лякай ся, від нині людей ловити меш.
11 So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
І пригнавши вони човни свої до берега, та покинувши все, пійшли слідом за Ним.
12 While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
І сталось, як був Він ув однім городі, аж ось чоловік увесь у проказі. І, побачивши Ісуса, упавши на лице, благав Його, кажучи; Господи, коли хочеш, можеш мене очистити.
13 [Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
І простягши Він руку, приторкнувсь до него, глаголючи: Хочу, очистись. І зараз проказа покинула його.
14 Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
І наказав Він йому нікому не говорити, а, пійшовши, покажи себе священикові та принеси за очищеннє твоє, як звелїв Мойсей, на сьвідкуваннє їм.
15 But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
Та слово про Него розійшлось тим більш, і насходилось народу пребагато слухати й сцїлятись у Него від недуг своїх.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Він же виходив у пустиню та молив ся.
17 One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
І сталось одного дня, що Він учив, і сиділи Фарисеї та учителї закону, що; поприходили з усіх сїл Галилейських та Юдейських і з Єрусалиму, й сила Господня була на сцїленнє їх.
18 several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
І ось мужі принесли на постелї чоловіка, що був розслаблений, і шукали, як би внести його та положити перед Ним.
19 But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
І, не знайшовши, як би внести його кріз натовп, вилїзли на хату, й кріз черепяну стелю спустили його з постїллю в середину перед Ісуса.
20 When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
І, бачивши віру їх, рече йому: Чоловіче, оставляють ся тобі гріхи твої.
21 The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
І почали міркувати письменники та Фарисеї, кажучи: Хто сей, що говорить хулу? Хто може оставляти гріхи, як тільки один Бог?
22 Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
Постерігши ж Ісус думки їх і озвавшись, рече до них: Що ви говорите в серцях ваших?
23 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
Що легше? сказати: Оставляють ся тобі гріхи твої; або сказати: Встань та й ходи?
24 But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
От же, щоб знали ви, що власть має Син чоловічий на землі оставляти гріхи, розслабленому: Тобі глаголю: Устань, і, взявши постїль твою, йди до дому твого.
25 Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
І зараз уставши перед ними й узявши на чому лежав, пійшов до дому свого, прославляючи Бога.
26 All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
І острах обняв усїх, і прославляли Бога, й сповнили ся страхом, кажучи: Що бачили предивне сьогодні.
27 Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
А після сього вийшов, і побачив митника на ймя Левію, сидячого на митниці, і рече йому: Йди слідом за мною.
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
І, зоставивши все, уставши пійшов слїдом за Ним.
29 Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
і справив гостину велику Левій Йому у господі своїй, і було там багато митників і инших, що свдїли з ними.
30 The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
І нарікали письменники їх та Фарисеї на учеників Його, кажучи: На що з митниками та грішниками їсте й пете?
31 Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
І озвавшись Ісус, рече до них: Не треба здоровому лікаря, а недужому.
32 [Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
Не прийшов я кликати праведників, а грішників до покаяння.
33 [Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
Вони, ж казали до Него: Чого ж ученики Йоанові постять часто й молять ся, так само й Фарисейські, Твої ж їдять і пють?
34 [To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
Він же рече до них: Чи зможете синів весільних, поки жених з ними, заставити постити?
35 [But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
Прийдуть же днї, що візьмуть жениха від них, тоді постити муть у ті дні.
36 Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
Сказав же й приповість до них; Що ніхто латки з одежини нової не пришиває до одежини старої; коли ж нї, то й нову розідре, й старій не личить латка з нового.
37 Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
І ніхто не наливав вина нового в бурдюки старі; коли ж ні, порве нове вино бурдюки, й вино витече, й бурдюки пропадуть.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
А вино нове в бурдюки нові наливають, то й буде все ціле.
39 Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
Ніхто, пивши старе, не бажав зараз нового; каже бо: Старе лучче.
