Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
Тоді повів Ісуса дух у пустиню на спокусу дияволську.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
І постив він сорок днів і сорок ночей, потім забажав їсти.
3 [Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
І прийшовши спокусник до Него, каже: Коли ти Син Божий, звели сим камінням зробитись хлїбом.
4 But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
Він же, озвавшись, сказав: Писано: Не самим хлїбом жити ме чоловік, а кожним словом, що виходить із уст Божих.
5 Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
Тоді диявол бере Його в сьвятий город, і ставить Його на церковнім крилі,
6 and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
І каже до Него: Коли ти Син Божий, кинь ся вниз, писано бо: Що накаже про Тебе ангелам своїм, і на руках понесуть Тебе, щоб не вдаривсь часом об камїнь ногою Твоєю.
7 But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
Рече йому Ісус: Писано знов: Не спокушуй Господа Бога твого,
8 Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
Знов бере Його диявол на гору височенну, й показує Йому всі царства на сьвітї й славу їх;
9 And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
і каже до Него: Оце все дам тобі, коли, припавши, поклониш ся менї.
10 But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
Рече тодї йому Ісус: Геть від мене, сатано! писано бо: Господу Богу твоєму кланяти меш ся, і Йому одному служити меш.
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Зоставив тоді Його диявол, і ось ангели приступили й служили Йому.
12 [While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
Як же почув Ісус, що Йоана видано, то перейшов у Галилею;
13 Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
і, покинувши Назарет, пійшов і пробував у Капернауміу що при морю, у гряницях Завулона та Нефталима:
14 [One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
щоб справдилось слово Ісаії пророка, глаголючого:
15 “Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
Земля Завулон і земля Нефталим, на морському шляху, за Йорданом, Галидея поганська;
16 [Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
люде сидячі в темряві побачили сьвітло велике, й тим, що сидять у країні й тїнї смертній, зассяло сьвітло.
17 From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
З того часу почав Ісус проповідувати й глаголати: Покайтесь, наближилось бо царство небесне.
18 [One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
І, йдучи Ісус попри море Галилейське, побачив двох братів, Симона, званого Петром, та Андрея, брата його, що закидали невід у море; були бо рибалки.
19 He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
І промовив до них: Ідїть за мною, то зроблю вас ловцями людськими.
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Вони ж зараз, покинувши неводи свої, пійшли слідом за Ним.
21 As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
І, йдучи звідтіля, побачив инших двох братів, Якова Зеведеєвого та Йоана, брата його, у човні з Зеведеем, батьком їх, як налагоджували неводи свої; і покликав їх.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
Вони ж зараз, покинувши човен і батька свого, пійшли слїдом за Ним.
23 Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
І ходив Ісус по всій Галилеї, навчаючи по школах їх, і проповідуючи евангелию царства, та сцїляючи всякий недуг і всякі болестї поміж людьми.
24 When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
І розійшлась чутка про Него по всїй Сирщинї; й приводжено до Него всїх недужнїх, що болїли всякими болещами та муками, й біснуватих, і місячників, і розслаблених; і сцїляв їх.
25 Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
І йшло за Ним пребагато народу з Галилеї, й з Десятиграду, й з Єрусалиму, й з Юдеї, й зза Йордану.
