Від Івана 11
1 Був один хворий [чоловік, на ім’я] Лазар, з Віфанії, села, де жила Марія та її сестра Марта.
[One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
2 Марія була жінкою, яка помазала Господа миром і обтерла Йому ноги своїм волоссям. Хворий був її братом.
Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Сестри послали передати Ісусові: ―Господи, той, кого Ти любиш, захворів.
So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
4 Почувши це, Ісус сказав: ―Ця хвороба не на смерть, а на славу Божу, щоб Син Божий був прославлений через неї.
[They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
5 Ісус любив Марту, її сестру та Лазаря.
Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
6 Однак коли Він почув, що [Лазар] хворий, то залишився там, де був, ще два дні.
But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
7 Потім сказав [Своїм] учням: ―Підемо знову в Юдею.
But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8 Учні сказали Йому: ―Равві, ще недавно юдеї намагалися побити Тебе камінням, а Ти знову йдеш туди?
We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
9 Ісус відповів: ―Чи не дванадцять годин має день? Якщо хтось ходить удень, не спотикається, бо бачить світло цього світу.
[To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
10 А той, хто ходить уночі, спотикається, бо немає світла в ньому.
It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
11 Сказавши це, Він додав: ―Наш друг Лазар заснув, але Я йду розбудити Його.
After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
12 Його учні сказали: ―Господи, якщо спить, то одужає.
So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
13 Ісус казав про його смерть, а вони думали, що Він говорить про звичайний сон.
Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
14 Тоді Ісус сказав їм прямо: ―Лазар помер.
So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 Але Я радію за вас, що не був там, щоб ви повірили. А зараз підемо до нього.
But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
16 Тоді Фома, якого називали Близнюк, сказав іншим учням: ―Ходімо й ми та помремо з Ним!
Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
17 Прийшовши туди, Ісус довідався, що [Лазар] уже чотири дні в гробі.
When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
18 Віфанія була близько до Єрусалима, приблизно п’ятнадцять стадіїв.
Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
19 Багато юдеїв прийшли до Марії та Марти, щоб втішити їх після [смерті] брата.
Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
20 Коли Марта почула, що прийшов Ісус, вона вийшла зустріти Його, а Марія залишилася в домі.
When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
21 Марта сказала Ісусові: ―Господи, якби Ти був тут, то мій брат не помер би.
When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
22 Але й тепер знаю: Бог дасть Тобі, що лише попросиш у Бога.
But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
23 Ісус сказав їй: ―Твій брат воскресне.
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
24 Марта відповіла: ―Я знаю, що він воскресне при воскресінні останнього дня.
Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
25 Ісус сказав їй: ―Я – воскресіння й життя. Той, хто вірить у Мене, навіть якщо помре, буде жити.
Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
27 Вона сказала: ―Так, Господи, я вірю, що Ти Христос, Син Божий, Який прийшов у світ.
She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
28 Сказавши це, вона пішла, потай покликала свою сестру Марію й сказала їй: «Учитель тут, Він кличе тебе».
After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
29 Почувши це, Марія швидко встала й вийшла до Нього.
When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 Ісус ще не увійшов до села, а був там, де Його зустріла Марта.
Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
31 Юдеї, які були з нею в домі та втішали її, побачивши, що Марія швидко встала й вийшла, пішли за нею. Вони гадали, що вона пішла до гробу, щоб там плакати.
The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry there.
32 Коли Марія прийшла туди, де був Ісус, і побачила Його, то впала до Його ніг і сказала Йому: ―Господи, якби Ти був тут, то мій брат не помер би.
When Mary got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] brother would not have died!”
33 Ісус, побачивши, що вона плаче, і юдеї, які прийшли з нею, теж плачуть, був глибоко зворушений в дусі та засмутився.
When Jesus saw her crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
34 Він запитав: ―Куди ви його поклали? Йому відповіли: ―Господи, іди та подивись!
He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Ісус заплакав.
Jesus began to cry.
36 Тоді юдеї сказали: «Дивись, як Він любив його».
Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
37 Але деякі казали: «Невже Той, Хто відкрив очі сліпому, не міг зробити, щоб цей чоловік не помер?»
But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
38 Ісус знов відчув зворушення в Собі й пішов до гробу. Це була печера, до якої був привалений камінь.
Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
39 Ісус звелів: ―Відваліть камінь. Марта, сестра померлого, сказала: ―Господи, вже чути неприємний запах, бо пройшло чотири дні.
Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
40 Ісус сказав: ―Хіба Я не казав тобі, що коли будеш вірити, побачиш славу Божу?
Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
41 Коли забрали камінь, Ісус подивився на небо й сказав: «Отче, дякую Тобі, що Ти почув Мене.
So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
42 Я знаю, що Ти завжди чуєш Мене, але Я сказав це заради людей, які стоять навколо, щоб вони повірили, що Ти послав Мене».
I know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
43 І, сказавши це, голосно промовив: «Лазарю, вийди сюди!»
After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Померлий вийшов. Його руки та ноги були обмотані тканиною, а обличчя обв’язане хустиною. Ісус сказав: ―Розв’яжіть його, і нехай він іде.
The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
45 Багато юдеїв, які прийшли до Марії та побачили, що Він зробив, повірили в Нього.
As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
46 Але деякі з них пішли до фарисеїв і розповіли, що зробив Ісус.
But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Тоді первосвященники та фарисеї скликали Синедріон і сказали: ―Що нам робити? Цей Чоловік робить багато знамень.
So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
48 Якщо ми залишимо Його так, то всі повірять у Нього, і прийдуть римляни та знищать це місце й народ.
If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
49 Тоді один із них, [на ім’я] Каяфа, який був первосвященником того року, сказав їм: ―Ви нічого не знаєте.
One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
50 Хіба не розумієте, що краще для вас, щоб один Чоловік помер за народ, ніж щоб увесь народ загинув?
You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
51 Він сказав це не від себе, але, будучи того року первосвященником, він пророкував, що Ісус має померти за народ,
He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
52 і не тільки за народ, але й щоб зібрати в одне розсіяних дітей Божих.
But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
53 Отже, від цього дня вони змовилися вбити Його.
So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
54 Тому Ісус не ходив відкрито серед юдеїв, а пішов звідти до околиць біля пустелі, у місто, яке називається Єфрем. Там перебував з учнями.
Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
55 Наближалася юдейська Пасха, і багато [людей] з усього краю йшли до Єрусалима для очищення перед Пасхою.
When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
56 Вони шукали Ісуса й, стоячи в Храмі, казали одне до одного: «Як ви вважаєте, чи прийде Він на свято?»
The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
57 Але первосвященники та фарисеї дали наказ: якщо хтось дізнається, де Він перебуває, нехай повідомить їх, щоб вони схопили Його.
