Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Коли [Ісус] зійшов з гори, багато людей пішло за Ним.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
І ось один прокажений прийшов, поклонився Йому й промовив: ―Господи, якщо хочеш, Ти можеш мене очистити.
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
[Ісус] простягнув руку, доторкнувся до нього й промовив: ―Хочу, будь чистим! І вмить [чоловік] очистився від прокази.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
Ісус сказав йому: ―Дивись, нікому не кажи про це, але йди, покажи себе священникові та принеси дар, який наказав Мойсей, їм на свідчення.
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Коли ж [Ісус] увійшов до Капернаума, прийшов до Нього сотник, який просив Його,
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
кажучи: ―Господи, мій слуга лежить вдома паралізований і тяжко страждає.
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
[Ісус] сказав йому: ―Я прийду та зцілю його.
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
Але сотник відповів: ―Господи, я не достойний, щоб Ти увійшов під мій дах, але скажи лише слово, і одужає мій слуга.
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
Бо і я людина підвладна й маю під своєю владою воїнів. Кажу одному: «Іди!» – і він іде, а іншому: «Прийди!» – і він приходить, і рабу моєму: «Зроби це!» – і він робить.
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Почувши це, Ісус здивувався та промовив тим, що йшли за Ним: ―Істинно кажу вам: ні в кого в Ізраїлі Я не знайшов такої великої віри.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Кажу ж вам: багато хто прийде зі сходу та заходу і сядуть за стіл разом з Авраамом, Ісааком та Яковом у Царстві Небесному.
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
А сини Царства будуть викинуті геть у темряву, де буде плач та скрегіт зубів.
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
А сотникові Ісус сказав: ―Іди! Нехай станеться за твоєю вірою! І тієї ж миті його слуга одужав.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Прийшовши в дім Петра, Ісус побачив, що його теща лежить у гарячці.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
Він доторкнувся до її руки – і гарячка залишила жінку. Вона встала та почала прислуговувати Йому.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Коли ж настав вечір, привели до Нього багатьох біснуватих. Він словом виганяв духів та зцілив усіх хворих на різні недуги,
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
щоб сповнились слова, сказані через пророка Ісаю: «Він узяв на Себе наші хвороби і поніс наші недуги».
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Побачивши навколо Себе багато народу, Ісус наказав [учням] відплисти на другий бік [моря].
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
Тоді підійшов до Нього один книжник і сказав: ―Учителю, я піду за Тобою, куди б Ти не пішов!
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Ісус відповів йому: ―Лисиці мають нори, птахи небесні – гнізда, а Син Людський не має, де голову прихилити.
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
А інший з Його учнів сказав: ―Господи, дозволь мені спочатку піти та поховати мого батька!
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Але Ісус відповів: ―Іди за Мною й залиши мертвим ховати своїх мерців.
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Потім [Ісус] зайшов у човен, за Ним увійшли і Його учні.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
І ось здійнялась на морі велика буря, так що хвилі заливали човен, а Він спав.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
[Учні] підійшли й розбудили Його, кажучи: ―Господи, спаси нас, бо ми гинемо!
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
Він сказав їм: ―Чому ви злякалися, маловіри? Тоді, піднявшись, наказав вітрам та морю, і настала велика тиша.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Люди дивувалися кажучи: ―Хто ж Він такий, що вітри та море підкоряються Йому?
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Коли [Ісус] прийшов на другий берег [моря], у землю Гадаринську, Його зустріли двоє біснуватих, що вийшли з гробниць. Вони були дуже люті, так що ніхто не міг пройти тією дорогою.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
І ось вони закричали: ―Що Тобі до нас, Сину Божий? Ти прийшов сюди, щоб мучити нас завчасно?
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Неподалік від них паслося велике стадо свиней.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
Демони просили Ісуса, кажучи: ―Якщо виганяєш нас, то надішли нас у це стадо свиней.
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
Він сказав їм: ―Ідіть! Тоді, вийшовши, вони увійшли у свиней, і ось стадо кинулося з кручі в море й потонуло у воді.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Свинопаси побігли й, діставшись до міста, сповістили про все, а також про біснуватих.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
І ось усе місто вийшло Ісусові назустріч і, побачивши Його, благали, щоб Він залишив їхні околиці.
