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 ти́снувся на́товп до Нього, щоб почути Слово Боже, Він стояв біля озера Генісаре́тського.
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 Він побачив два чо́вни, що стояли край о́зера. А риба́лки, відійшовши від них, полоска́ли не́вода.
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].
І Він увійшов до одно́го з човні́в, що був Си́монів, і просив, щоб він тро́хи відплив від землі. І Він сів, та й навчав наро́д із чо́вна.
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]!”
А коли перестав Він навчати, промовив до Си́мона: „Попливи на глибі́нь, — і закиньте на по́лов свій не́від“.
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.”
А Си́мон сказав Йому в відповідь: „Наставнику, — цілу ніч ми працюва́ли, і не вловили нічо́го, — та за словом Твоїм укину не́вода“.
6 When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
А зробивши оце, вони бе́зліч риби набрали — і їхній не́від почав прорива́тись...
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 кива́ли вони до товаришів, що були в другім чо́вні, щоб прийшли помогти їм. Ті прийшли, та й напо́внили оби́два човни́, — аж стали вони потопа́ти.
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!”
А як Си́мон Петро це побачив, то припав до колін Ісусових, кажучи: „Господи, — вийди від мене, бо я грішна люди́на!“
Бо від по́лову риби, що зловили вони, обгорнув жах його та й усіх, хто з ним був,
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].”
також Якова й Івана, синів Зеведе́євих, що були спільника́ми Си́мона. І сказав Ісус Си́монові: „Не лякайсь, — від цього ча́су ти будеш ловити людей!“
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 вони повитяга́ли на землю човни́, покинули все, — та й пішли вслід 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!”
А як Він перебува́в в одно́му з міст, ось один чоловік, увесь укритий проказою, Ісуса побачивши, упав ницьма, та й благав Його, кажучи: „Господи, коли хочеш, — Ти можеш очи́стити мене!“
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]!
А Він руку простяг, доторкнувся до нього й сказав: „Хо́чу, — будь чистий!“І зараз із нього проказа зійшла.
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 звелів Він йому не казати ніко́му про це. „Але йди, покажися священикові, і принеси за своє очи́щення, як Мойсей наказав, на сві́дчення 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}.
А чутка про Нього ще більше пішла, і багато наро́ду прихо́дило слухати та вздоровлятись від Нього з неду́гів своїх.
16 But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
Він же відходив на місце самотнє й молився.
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 із днів, коли Він навчав, і сиділи фарисеї й законовчи́телі, що посхо́дилися зо всіх сіл Галілеї й Юдеї та з Єрусалиму, а сила Господня готова була вздоровляти 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 люди на ложі прине́сли чоловіка, що розсла́блений був, і намагалися вне́сти його, і перед Ним покла́сти.
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.
Не знайшовши ж кудою проне́сти його з-за наро́ду, злізли на дім, і крізь стелю спустили із ложем його на сере́дину 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, побачивши їхню віру, сказав Він йому: „Чоловіче, прощаються тобі гріхі 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!”
А книжники та фарисеї почали міркувати й казати: „Хто ж Оцей, що богознева́гу говорить? Хто може прощати гріхи, окрім Бога Самого?“
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]:
Відчувши ж Ісус думки́ їхні, промовив у відповідь їм: „Що́ міркуєте ви 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].
Що́ легше: сказати: „Прощаються тобі гріхи твої“, чи сказати: „Уставай 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!’”
Але́ щоб ви знали, що Син Лю́дський має вла́ду на землі прощати гріхи́“, — тож каже Він розсла́бленому: „Кажу́ Я тобі: Уставай, візьми ложе своє, та й іди у свій дім!“
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 той зараз устав перед ними, узявши те, на чому лежав, і пішов у свій дім, 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 всіх жах обгорнув, — і сла́вили Бога вони. І перепо́внились стра́хом, говорячи: „Дивні речі сьогодні ми бачили!“
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]!”
Після цього ж Він вийшов, і побачив ми́тника, на йме́ння Леві́я, що сидів на ми́тниці, та й промовив йому: „Іди за Мною!“
28 So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
І, покинувши все, той устав, і пішов услід 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 Леві́й у своїм домі велику гости́ну для Нього. І був на́товп великий ми́тників й інших, що сиділи з Ним при столі.
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]
Фарисеї ж та книжники їхні нарікали на Нього, та учням Його говорили: „Чому́ з ми́тниками та із грішниками ви їсте́ та п'єте́?“
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].
А Ісус відповів і промовив до них: „Лікаря не потребують здорові, а слабі.
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, щоб праведних кликати до покая́ння, а грішних“.
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 відказали до Нього: „ Чому́ учні Іванові часто по́стять та моляться, також і фарисейські, а Твої споживають та п'ють?“
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].
Ісус же промовив до них: „Чи ж ви можете змусити, щоб по́стили гості весільні, поки з ними ще є молоди́й?
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].”
Але при́йдуть ті дні, коли заберуть молодого від них, — тоді й по́стити будуть тих днів“.
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.
Розповів же і при́казку їм: „Ніхто ла́тки з одежі ново́ї в одежу стару не вставляє, а то подере́ й нову́, а латка з ново́ї старій не надасться.
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 вливає вина молодого в старі бурдюки́, а то попрорива́є вино молоде бурдюки́, — і вино розіллє́ться, і бурдюки́ пропадуть.
38 On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
Але треба вливати вино молоде до нови́х бурдюкі́в.
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!’”
І ніхто, старе пивши, молодого не схоче, бо каже: „Старе ліпше!“
