< Luke 8 >

1 Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
І сталось опісля, проходив Він городи й села, проповідуючи й благовіствуючи царство Боже; а дванайцять з ним,
2 Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
і деякі жінки, що були спїлені од духів лихих і недуг: Мария, на прізвище Магдалина, що з неї сїм бісів вийшло,
3 Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
і Йоанна, жінка Хузана, Іродового приставника, й Сусанна, й инших багато, що послугували Йому з добра свого.
4 A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
Як же зійшлось багато народу та з усяких городів поприходили до Него, промовив приповістю:
5 “A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
Вийшов сїяч сїяти насїннє своє; і, як він сїяв, инше впало край шляху; й попритоптувано його, й птаство небесне пожерло його.
6 Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
А инше впало на камінь; і посходивши, посохло, бо не мало вогкости.
7 Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
А инше впало між тернину; й розвившись тернина в ним, поглушила його.
8 But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
А инше впало на землю добру, й, зійшовши, дало овощ у сотеро. Се промовивши, покликнув: Хто має уші слухати, нехай слухає.
9 Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
Питали ж Його упеники Його, кажучи: Що се за приповість оця?
10 He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
Він же рече: Вам дано знати тайни царства Божого, другим же в приповістях, щоб дивлячись не бачили, й слухаючи не розуміли.
11 So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
Єсть же ся приповість: Насіннє, се слово Боже.
12 [Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
Ті, що край шляху, се, що слухають; опісля ж приходить диявол, та й забирав слово з серця їх, щоб віруючи не спасли ся.
13 [Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
Що ж на каменї, се, що, вислухавши, з радістю приймають слово, та сї кореня не мають; до часу вірують, а під час спокуси відпадають.
14 [Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
Що ж між тернину впало, се, ті, що вислухавши, відходять, і журбою, та багацтвом, та роскошами життя поглушені, не дають овощу.
15 But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
Що ж у добрій землї, се ті, що, вислухавши слово, в серцї щирому й доброму держять, і дають овощ у терпінню.
16 “After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
Нїхто ж, засьвітивши сьвічку, не покрива її посудиною, або під ліжко її ставить; тільки ж на сьвічнику ставлять, щоб входячі бачили сьвітло.
17 [God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
Нема бо нічого тайного, що не виявить ся, і нїчого втаєного, що не взнавть ся і на яв не вийде.
18 So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
Вважайте оце, як слухаєте: хто бо має, дасть ся тому; а хто не мав і що, здаєть ся, мав, візьметь ся від него.
19 [One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
Прийшла ж тодї до Него мати й брати Його, та й не могли зійтись із Ним за народом.
20 Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
І сповістили Його, кажучи: Мати Твоя та брати Твої стоять надворі: хочуть Тебе бачити.
21 He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
Він же, озвавшись, рече до них: Мати моя та брати мої ті, хто слово Боже слухав і чинить його.
22 One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
Стало ся ж одного дня, увійшов Він у човен, і ученики Його; й рече до них: Попливемо на той бік озера. І відчалили.
23 As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
Як же плилн, заснув Він; і найшла буря вітряна на озеро, й заливало їх, і були вони в опасностї.
24 Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
Приступивши ж розбудили Його, кажучи: Наставниче, наставниче, погибаємо! Він же вставши, погрозив вітрові та буянню води; й з'пинились, і настала тишина.
25 He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
Рече ж їм: Де ж віра ваша? Вони ж полякані дивувались, кажучи один до одного: Хто ж оце сей, що й вітрам повелівав, і водї, і слухають Його?
26 Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
І переплюш в землю Гадаринську, що по тім боцї Галилеї.
27 [There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
Як же вийшов Він на землю, зустрів Його один чоловік з города, що мав біса з давнього часу, й одежі не вдягав, і в хатї не пробував, тільки по гробах.
28 Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
Побачивши ж Ісуса і закричавши, припав до Него, й голосом великим промовив: Що менї і Тобі, Ісусе, Сину Бога Вишнього? благаю Тебе, щоб мене не мучив.
Повелів бо духові нечистому вийти з чоловіка: почасту бо схоплював його; й заковувано його в заліза та пута, й стережено; й, розбиваючи о-кови, бував гнаний од біса в пустиню.
30 [In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
Питав же його Ісус, глаголючи: Яке тобі імя? Він же каже: Легион; бо бісів багато ввійшло в него.
31 [The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
І благали Його, щоб Він не велїв їм ійти в безодню. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
Був же там великий гурт свиней, що пас ся на горі; і благали Його, щоб дозволив їм в них увійти. І дозволив їм.
33 The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Вийшовши ж біси з чоловіка, увійшли в свині; і кинув ся гурт із кручі в озеро, та й потонув.
34 When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
Побачивши ж пастухи, що сталось, повтікали, й, пійшовши, сповістили по городах і по селах.
35 So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
Повиходили ж дивитись, що сталось, і прийшли до Ісуса, й знайшли сидячого чоловіка, що з него біси вийшли, одягненого й при розумі, в ногах у Ісуса, й злякались.
36 The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
Сповістили ж їх і ті, що бачили, як спас ся біснуватий.
37 Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
І благав Його ввесь народ околиці Гадаринської вийти від них, бо страх великий обняв їх; Він же, ввійшовши в човен, вернув ся.
38 The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
Благав же Його чоловік, з котрого вийшли біси. Щоб бути з Ним; відпустив же його Ісус, глаголючи:
39 “[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
Вернись до дому твого та розкажи, скільки зробив тобі Господь. І пійшов він по всьому городу, проповідуючи, скільки зробив йому Ісус.
40 When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
Стало ся ж, як вернувсь Ісус, прийняв Його народ: всі бо дожидали Його.
41 Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
І ось прийшов чоловік, котрому ймя Яір (а сей був старшиною над школою), і, припавши до ніг Ісусові, благав Його, щоб увійшов у господу його.
42 my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
Бо дочка єдина була в него літ дванайцяти, і та вмирала. Як же йшов Він, народ тиснув ся до Него;
43 Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
і одна жінка, бувши в кровотічі років дванайцять, котра, на лїкарів витративши ввесь прожиток, не могла нї від кого вигоїтись,
44 She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
і, приступивши ззаду, приторкнулась до краю одежі Його, й зараз перестала кровотіч її.
45 Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
І рече Ісус: Хто приторкнув ся до мене? Як же всї відпирались, сказав Петр і ті, що з Ним: Наставниче, народ товпить ся та тиснеть ся до Тебе, а Ти кажеш: Хто приторкнувсь до мене?
46 But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
Ісус же рече: Приторкнув ся до мене хтось; я бо чув, що сила вийшла з мене.
47 When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
Бачивши ж жінка, що не втаїть ся, трясучись приступила й, припавши перед Ним, з якої причини приторкнулась до Него, сповістила Його перед усім народом, і як одужала зараз.
48 [Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
Він же рече їй: Бодрись, дочко: віра твоя спасла тебе; йди з упокоєм.
49 While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
Ще Він промовляв, приходить один від шкільного старшини, кажучи Мому: Вмерла дочка твоя; не труди учителя.
50 But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
Ісус же, дочувши, озвав ся до него, глаголючи: Не бійся; тільки віруй, то й спасеть ся.
51 When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
Увійшовши ж у господу, не пустив увійти нїкого, тільки Петра, та Якова, таЙоана, та батька дитини й матір.
52 All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
Плакали ж усї й голосили по нїй; Він же рече: Не плачте; не вмерла, а спить.
53 The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
І сьміялись вони з Него, знаючи, що вмерла.
54 But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
Він же, випровадивши надвір усїх, і взявши за руку її, покликнув, глаголючи: Дївчинко, встань.
55 At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
І вернув ся дух її, і встала зараз; і звелїв їй дати їсти.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
І дивувались родителї її; Він же заповів їм нікому не казати, що сталось.
