Matthew 17
1 A week after Jesus [said that], he took Peter, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James, and led them up a high mountain where they were away from other people.
А через шість день бере Ісус Петра, Якова, та Йоана брата його, й веде їх на гору високу окреме,
2 [While they were there, the three disciples] saw that Jesus’ appearance was changed. His face shone like the sun, and his clothing [shone and] became as brilliant as light.
й персобразивсь перед ними: й сяяло лице Його як сонце, а одежа Його стала біла, як сьвітло.
3 Suddenly Moses and Elijah, [who were important prophets many years ago], appeared and started talking with him.
Коли се явивсь їм Мойсей та Ілия, розмовляючи з Ним.
4 Peter [saw them and] said to Jesus, “Lord, it is wonderful for us to be here! If you want [me to], I will make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
Озвав ся ж Петр, і рече до Ісуса: Господи, добре нам тут бути: коли хочеш, зробимо тут три намети: один Тобі, один Мойсейові, а один Ілиї.
5 While Peter was speaking, a bright cloud [appeared and] covered them. [They heard God] speaking [about Jesus from] inside the cloud. He said [to them], “This is my Son. I love him. He pleases me very much. [So] you must listen to him!”
Ще він говорив, аж ось ясна хмара отїнила їх, і ось голос із хмари глаголючий: Се Син мій любий, що я Його вподобав; Його слухайте.
6 When the three disciples heard [God speaking], they were terrified. [As a result], they fell prostrate on the ground.
Зачувши се ученики, припали лицем до землї, й полякались вельми.
7 But Jesus went to them and touched them [and] said [to them], “Stand up! Do not be afraid any more!”
І прийшовши Ісус, торкнув їх, і рече: Устаньте й не лякайтесь.
8 And when they looked up [MTY], they saw that Jesus was the only one [who was still there].
Вони ж, знявши очі свої, не бачили нїкого, тільки одного Ісуса.
9 When they were walking down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Do not tell anyone what you saw [on the mountain top] until [God has caused me], the one who has come from heaven, to become alive again after I die.”
І, як сходили вони з гори, нака. зав їм Ісус, глаголючи: Не кажіть нікому про сю із'яву, аж поки Син чоловічий устане з мертвих.
10 [Those three disciples had just seen Elijah and he did not do anything to prepare people for the coming of the Messiah], so they asked Jesus, “If [what you say is true], why do the men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that it is necessary for Elijah to come [back to earth] before [the Messiah comes]?”
І питали в Него ученики Його кажучи: Що ж се кажуть письменники, що Ілия мусить прийти попереду?
11 Jesus answered [them], “It is true that [God promised that] Elijah would come to prepare many [HYP] [people for the Messiah’s coming].
Ісус же, озвавшись, рече їм: Ілия прийде попереду, і налагодить усе.
12 But note this: Elijah’s [representative] has already come, [and our leaders have seen him], but they did not recognize him [as the one who would come before the Messiah]. Instead, they treated him [badly], just like they desired. And those same rulers will soon treat [me], the one who came from heaven, in the same manner.”
Я ж глаголю вам: Що Ілия вже прийшов, та й не познали його, а зробили на йому, що схотіли. Так і Син чоловічий терпіти ме від них.
13 Then the three disciples understood that [when he was talking about Elijah], he was referring to John the Baptizer.
Тоді зрозуміли ученики, що глаголав їм про Иоана Хрестителя.
14 When [Jesus and the three disciples] returned to the [rest of us disciples] and to the crowd [that had gathered], a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
І, як прийшли вони до народу, приступив до Него чоловік, припавши Йому до ніг і говорячи:
15 He said [to him], “Sir/Lord, have mercy on my son and [heal him]! He has epilepsy and suffers very much. [Because of this illness], he has fallen in the fire and in the water many times.
Господи, помилуй мого сина; він бо місячник, і тяжко мучить ся: почасту бо падає в огонь, і почасту в воду.
16 I brought him to your disciples [in order that they might heal him], but they were not able to heal him.”
І привів я його до учеників Твоїх, та й не змогли вони сцїлити його.
17 Jesus responded [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything! Your minds] are distorted! How long do I have to be with you [before you] are [able to do what I do] [RHQ]? How long [do] I have to endure your [not believing] [RHQ]? Bring the boy here to me!”
Озвав ся ж Ісус і рече: О кодло невірне та розвратне! Доки буду з вами? доки терпіти му вас? Приведіть менї його сюди.
18 When [they brought the boy to Jesus], Jesus rebuked the demon [that was causing the epilepsy]. [As a result], the demon came out of the boy, and right then the boy was healed.
І погрозив йому Ісус і вийшов з него диявол, і одужав хлопець з того часу.
19 [Later, some of us] disciples approached Jesus. We asked him privately, “Why were we [(exc)] not able to expel the demon?”
Приступивши тодї ученики до Ісуса, сказали на самоті: Чом не змогли ми вигнати його?
20 He answered us, “It is because you did not believe very much [in God’s power]. Think about this: Mustard seeds [are very small, but in this area they grow and produce large] [MET] [plants]. [Similarly], if your faith grows until you truly believe [that God will do what you ask him to], you will be able to do anything [LIT]! You [could even] say to this hill, ‘Move from here to there!’ and it would go [where you told it to go].”
Ісус же рече їм: Через невіру вашу, істино бо глаголю вам: Коли б ви мали віри з зерно горчицї, то сказали б оцій горі: Перейди звідсіля туди; то й перейде; й нїчого не буде неможливого вам.
Се ж кодло не виходить, як тільки молитвою та постом.
22 When [we disciples] had gathered together in Galilee [district], Jesus said to us, “[I], the one who came from heaven, will soon be handed over {[Someone] will soon hand me, the one who came from heaven, over} to the authorities [SYN].
Як же пробували вони в Галилеї, рече до них Ісус: Син чоловічий буде виданий у руки людям;
23 They will kill me. But [God] will cause me to become alive again on the third day [after I am killed].” [When we heard that], we became very sad.
і вбють Його, а третього дня Він устане. І засудили вони вельми.
24 When we came to Capernaum [city], the men who collect taxes [for the Temple approached Peter and said to him], “Your teacher pays the [Temple tax], does he not?”
Як же прийшли в Капернаум, приступили ті, що данину збирали, до Петра, й казали: Чи не дасть ваш учитель данини?
25 He answered [them], “Yes, [he does pay it].” When we came into the house [where Jesus was saying], [before Peter began to talk about paying taxes], Jesus said [to him], “Simon, from whom do you think rulers collect revenue or taxes? [Do they collect taxes] from the citizens of their own [country], or from citizens of countries [they have conquered]?”
Каже: Так. І як увійшов у господу, попередив його Ісус, глаголючи: Що ти думаєш, Симоне? з кого! земні царі збирають данину? з своїх синів, чи з чужих?
26 Peter answered [him], “From [citizens of] other [countries].” Then Jesus said to him, “So citizens of their own [country] do not need to [pay taxes].
Каже до Него Петр: Із чужих. Рече йому Ісус: То сини вільні.
27 But [even though the Temple is mine, pay the tax for us so that the Temple tax collectors will not become angry with us. In order to get the money to pay it], go to the lake. Cast your [fish line and] hook, and take the first fish that you catch. When you open its mouth, you will find a silver coin [that is worth enough to pay the tax] for you and me. Take that coin and give [it] to the Temple tax collectors.”
Тільки ж, щоб не блазнити нам Їх, ійди до моря, та закинь удку, й першу рибу, що піймаєть ся, візьми й роззявивши їй рот, знайдеш статира; взявши його, дай їм за мене й за себе.
