Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
І сказав Він до них: „Поправді кажу́ вам, що деякі з тут-о прия́вних не скушту́ють смерти, аж поки не ба́читимуть Царства Божого, що прийшло́ воно в силі“.
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
А через шість день забирає Ісус Петра, і Якова, і Івана, та й веде їх осібно на го́ру високу самих. І Він переобрази́всь перед ними.
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
І стала одежа Його осяйна́, дуже біла, як сніг, якої біли́льник не зміг би так ви́білити на землі!
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
І з'явивсь їм Ілля́ та Мойсей, і розмовляли з Ісусом.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
І озвався Петро та й сказав до Ісуса: „Учителю, до́бре бути нам тут! Поставмо ж собі три шатра: для Тебе одне, і одне для Мойсея, і одне для Іллі“.
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Бо не знав, що́ казати, бо були́ перелякані.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Та хмара ось їх заслони́ла, і голос почувся із хмари: „Це Син Мій Улю́блений, — Його слухайтеся!“
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
І зараз, звівши очі свої, вони вже ніко́го з собою не бачили, крім Самого Ісуса.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
А коли з гори схо́дили, Він їм наказав, щоб ніко́му того не казали, що́ бачили, аж поки Син Лю́дський із мертвих воскресне.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
І вони заховали те слово в собі, сперечаючися, що́ то є: „воскреснути з мертвих“.
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
І вони запитали Його та сказали: „Що́ це книжники кажуть, ніби треба Іллі перш прийти?“
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
А Він відказав їм: „Тож Ілля́, коли при́йде попе́реду, усе приготу́є. Та я́к же про Лю́дського Сина написано, що мусить багато Він ви́терпіти, і буде знева́жений?
Але вам кажу́, що й Ілля́ був прийшов, — та зробили йому, що́ тільки хотіли, як про нього написано“.
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
А коли поверну́лись до учнів, коло них вони вгле́діли бе́зліч наро́ду та книжників, що сперечалися з ними.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
І негайно ввесь на́товп, як побачив Його, сполохну́вся із дива, і назу́стріч побіг, і став вітати Його.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
І запитався Він їх: „Про що спереча́єтесь з ними?“
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
І Йому відповів один із на́товпу: „Учителю, привів я до Тебе ось сина свого́, що духа німого він має.
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
А як він де схо́пить його, то о́б землю кидає ним, — і він пі́ну пускає й зубами скрегоче та сохне. Я казав Твоїм у́чням, щоб прогнали його, — та вони не змогли“.
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
А Він їм у відповідь каже: „О, роде невірний, — доки буду Я з вами? Доки вас Я терпітиму? Приведіть до Мене його!“
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
І до Нього того привели́. І як тільки побачив Його, то дух зараз затряс ним. А той, повалившись на землю, став качатися та заливатися пі́ною.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
І Він запитав його ба́тька: „Як давно́ йому сталося це?“Той сказав: „Із дити́нства.
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
І по́часту кидав він ним і в огонь, і до води, щоб його погубити. Але коли можеш що Ти, то змилуйсь над нами, і нам поможи!“
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Ісус же йому відказав: „Щодо того твого „коли можеш“, — то тому́, хто вірує, все можливе!“
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Зараз ба́тько хлоп'я́ти з слізьми́ закричав і сказав: „Вірую, Господи, — поможи недовірству моє́му!“
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
А Ісус, як побачив, що на́товп збігається, то нечистому духові заказав, і сказав йому: „Ду́ше німий і глухий, тобі Я наказую: вийди з нього, і більше у нього не входь!“
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
І, закричавши та мі́цно затрясши, той вийшов. І він став, немов мертвий, — аж багато-хто стали казати, що помер він.
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
А Ісус узяв за руку його та й підвів його, — і той устав.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
Коли́ ж Він до дому прийшов, то учні питали Його самото́ю: „Чому ми́ не могли його вигнати?“
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
А Він їм сказав: „Цей рід не вихо́дить інакше, як тільки від молитви та по́сту“.
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
І вони вийшли звідти, і прохо́дили по Галілеї. А Він не хотів, щоб довідався хто.
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
Бо Він Своїх учнів навчав і казав їм: „Людський Син буде ви́даний лю́дям до рук, і вони Його вб'ють, але вбитий, — воскресне Він третього дня!“
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Вони ж не зрозуміли цього сло́ва, та боялись Його запитати.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
І прибули́ вони в Капернау́м. А як був Він у домі, то їх запитав: „Про що́ міркува́ли в дорозі?“
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
І мовчали вони, — сперечалися бо проміж себе в дорозі, хто́ найбільший.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
А як сів, то покликав Він Дванадцятьо́х, і промовив до них: „Коли хто бути першим бажає, — нехай буде найменшим із усіх і слуга всім!“
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
І взяв Він дитину, і поставив її серед них. І, обнявши її, Він промовив до них:
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
„Коли хто в Ім'я́ Моє при́йме одне з дітей таких, той приймає Мене. Хто ж приймає Мене, — не Мене він приймає, а Того, Хто послав Мене!“
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
Обізвався до нього Іван: „Учителю, ми бачили одно́го чоловіка, який з нами не ходить, що виганя́є Ім'я́м Твоїм де́монів; і ми заборонили йому, бо він із нами не ходить“.
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
А Ісус відказав: „Не забороняйте йому, бо немає такого, що Ім'я́м Моїм чудо зробив би, і зміг би неба́ром лихосло́вити Мене́.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Хто бо не супроти нас, — той за нас!
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
І коли хто напо́їть вас ку́хлем води в Ім'я́ Моє ради того, що ви Христові, поправді кажу́ вам: той не згубить своєї нагоро́ди!
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Хто ж споку́сить одно́го з мали́х цих, що вірять, то краще б такому було, коли б жо́рно млино́ве на шию йому почепити, та й кинути в море!
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
І коли рука твоя спокуша́є тебе, — відітни її: краще тобі ввійти до життя однору́ким, ніж з обома руками ввійти до геєнни, до огню невгаси́мого, (Geenna g1067)
де „їхній червяк не вмирає, і не гасне огонь“.
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
І коли нога твоя спокуша́є тебе, — відітни її: краще тобі ввійти до життя одноно́гим, ніж з обома ногами бути вкиненому до геєнни, [до огню невгаси́мого], (Geenna g1067)
де „їхній червяк не вмирає, і не гасне огонь“.
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
І коли твоє око тебе́ спокуша́є, — вибери його: краще тобі одноо́ким ввійти в Царство Боже, ніж з обома очима бути вкиненому до геєнни огне́нної, (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
де „їхній червяк не вмирає, і не гасне огонь“!
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
Бо посо́литься кожен огнем, і кожна жертва посо́литься сіллю.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Сіль — добра річ. Коли ж сіль несолоною стане, — чим поправити її? Майте сіль у собі, майте й мир між собою!“
