Від Марка 6
1 Ісус вийшов звідти та прийшов на Свою батьківщину, а Його учні йшли за Ним.
Jesus left [Capernaum city and went to his hometown, Nazareth]. His disciples went with him.
2 Коли настала Субота, Він почав навчати людей у синагозі. Багато з тих, хто слухав Його, казали: «Звідки в Нього це? Що це за мудрість дана Йому? Як такі чудеса творяться Його руками?
(On the Sabbath/On the Jewish rest day), [he entered] the Jewish worship house and taught [the people]. Many who were listening to him were astonished. [But some] were saying, “[This man is just an ordinary person like we are! So (we cannot believe that] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles![/how is it that] [RHQ] this man [is able to teach us] about these things and that he has been made very wise {that [God] has made him very wise} and that he is performing such miracles?) [RHQ]
3 Хіба Він не тесля, син Марії? Хіба Він не брат Якова, Йосії, Юди та Симона? Хіба Його сестри не серед нас?» І вони спокушалися через Нього.
([We know that] he is [just an ordinary] carpenter!/Isn’t he [just an ordinary] carpenter [RHQ]?) [We know him and his family! We know] Mary his mother! ([We know] his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon!/Are not his [younger] brothers James, Joses, Judas and Simon?) [RHQ] And (his [younger] sisters also live here in this town!/do not his [younger] sisters also live here in this town?) [RHQ]” So they despised him.
4 Ісус же сказав їм: «Не буває пророка без пошани, хіба тільки на своїй батьківщині, серед своїх родичів та у своєму домі».
Jesus [knew that they refused to believe in him]. So he said to them, “[It is certainly true that] people honor [me and other] prophets [in other places, but] not in our hometowns! Even our relatives and the people who live in our own houses do not honor us!”
5 І не зміг там зробити жодного чуда, тільки зцілив кількох хворих, поклавши на них руки.
[So], although he healed a few sick people there by touching them, he [decided] not to perform many [other] miracles [in Nazareth] because the people there did not believe that he was the Messiah.
6 І дивувався через їхнє невір’я. Потім [Ісус] ходив по навколишніх селах і навчав.
He was amazed that they did not believe [in him]. Mark 6:6b-13 Jesus [and his disciples] went from town to town [in that region] teaching [the people].
7 Покликавши до Себе дванадцятьох, [Ісус] почав надсилати їх по двоє, даючи їм владу над нечистими духами.
[One day] he summoned the twelve [disciples], and then he [told them that] he was going to send them out two-by-two [to teach people in various towns]. He gave them power [to expel] evil spirits [from people].
8 [Ісус] наказав їм: «Не беріть у дорогу ні хліба, ні торбини, ні грошей у пояс, а тільки одну палицю.
He also instructed them to wear sandals and to take along a walking stick when they were traveling. He told them not to take food, nor a bag [in which travelers carry supplies], nor any money for their journey. He also did not allow them to take extra clothing. [He wanted the people who heard their message to give them what they needed].
9 Взуйте сандалії й не беріть двох сорочок».
10 Потім додав: «Коли увійдете в дім, там залишайтесь, поки не вийдете звідти.
He also instructed them, “After you enter a town, [if someone invites you to stay in his house], go into his house. Eat and sleep in that same home until you leave that town.
11 Коли ж десь вас не приймуть або не слухатимуть, то, виходячи звідти, обтрусіть пил зі своїх ніг на свідчення проти них!»
Wherever the people do not welcome you and wherever the people do not listen to you, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave [that place]. By doing that, you will warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
12 Вони пішли та проповідували, щоб люди покаялись,
[So] after the disciples went out [to various towns], they were preaching that people should stop their sinful behavior.
13 і виганяли багатьох демонів, а багатьох хворих помазували олією та зцілювали.
They were also expelling many evil spirits [from people], and they were anointing many sick people with [olive] oil and healing them.
14 Цар Ірод почув [про Ісуса], оскільки Його ім’я ставало все більш відомим. Дехто казав: «Іван Хреститель воскрес із мертвих, і тому ці чудеса діються через Нього».
[King] Herod [Antipas] heard about [what] Jesus [was doing], because many people were talking [about it. Some] people were saying [about Jesus], “[He must be] John the Baptizer! He has come back to life! That is why he [has God’s] power to perform these miracles!”
15 Інші казали: «Це Ілля!» А ще інші: «Це пророк, як один зі [стародавніх] пророків».
Others were saying [about Jesus], “He is [the former prophet] Elijah, [whom God promised to send back again].” Others were saying [about Jesus], “[No], he is a [different] prophet, like one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago].”
16 Але Ірод, почувши це, казав: «Іван, якого я стратив, воскрес із мертвих».
Having heard [what the people were saying, King] Herod [Antipas] himself repeatedly said, “The man [performing those miracles] must be John! I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head, but he has come back to life again [to get revenge for my killing him]!”
17 Бо Ірод, надіславши схопити Івана, зв’язав його та посадив до в’язниці через Іродіаду, дружину Филипа, свого брата, з якою він одружився.
The reason [King Herod concluded that John wanted revenge is as follows: Some time before this], Herod married Herodias, while she was [still] the wife of his [younger] brother, Philip.
18 Іван казав Іродові: «Не годиться тобі одружуватися з дружиною твого брата!»
John kept telling Herod, “[God’s] law does not permit you to marry the wife of your brother [while he is still alive].” Then, because Herodias [urged him to put John in prison], Herod himself sent [soldiers to John]. They seized John and put him in prison.
19 Іродіада була ворожою до Івана та бажала вбити його, але не могла.
But because Herodias wanted to get [further] revenge on John, she wanted [someone] to execute him. But she could not do that because [while John was in prison], Herod kept John safe [from her].
20 Адже Ірод боявся Івана і, знаючи, що він чоловік праведний та святий, захищав його. Слухаючи Івана, він дуже непокоївся, однак слухав його з насолодою.
Herod did this because he respected/feared John, because he knew that he was a righteous and holy man. The king did not know what he should do, but he liked to listen to him.
21 Та настав сприятливий день, коли Ірод святкував свій день народження й влаштував бенкет для своїх вельмож, воєначальників та старійшин із Галілеї.
But [Herodias was able to have someone execute John when they honored/celebrated] the day when Herod was born. On that day, he invited the [most important] government officials, the [most important] army leaders, and the most important men in Galilee [district] in order that they might eat [and celebrate with him].
22 Дочка Іродіади увійшла до них та затанцювала, і так сподобалась Іродові й тим, що сиділи разом із ним за столом, що цар сказав дівчині: ―Проси все, що бажаєш, і я дам тобі.
[While they were eating], Herodias’ daughter came into the room and danced, and that pleased [King] Herod and his guests. So the king said to her, “Ask me for whatever you desire and I will give it to you!”
23 І поклявся їй: ―Усе, що тільки попросиш, дам тобі, навіть і пів царства.
He said to her, “Whatever you ask, I will give it to you! I will give you up to half of what I own and rule, if you ask for it. May God punish me [if I do not do what I have promised]!”
24 Вона вийшла та запитала в матері: ―Що мені просити? Її мати відповіла: ―Голову Івана Хрестителя.
The girl immediately left the room and went to her mother. She [told her what the king had said, and] asked her, “What shall I ask for?” Her mother replied, “[Ask the king to give you] the head of John the Baptizer!”
25 Тоді вона відразу увійшла до царя та просила: ―Хочу, щоб ти негайно дав мені на блюді голову Івана Хрестителя.
The girl quickly entered the room again. She went to the king and she requested, “I want you to command someone to [cut off] the head of John the Baptizer [and] give it to me at once on a platter, [so that my mother can know he is dead]!”
26 Цар дуже засмутився, але через клятву й тих, що сиділи з ним за столом, не схотів відмовити їй.
The king became very distressed [when he heard what she asked for], because he knew John was a very righteous man (OR, because he now knew that he should not have made that promise to her). But he could not refuse [what she requested because] he had promised [that he would give her anything she asked for], and because his guests [had heard him promise that].
27 Тож цар відразу надіслав охоронця, наказавши принести голову Івана. Той пішов до в’язниці та відрубав Іванові голову,
So the king at once ordered the man who executes prisoners to go and [cut off] John’s head and bring it [to the girl]. That man went to the prison and cut off John’s head.
28 приніс її на блюді та віддав дівчині, а вона віддала її своїй матері.
He [put it on] a platter, brought it back, and gave it to the girl. The girl took it to her mother.
29 Коли про це довідались учні Івана, то прийшли, забрали його тіло й поклали в гробницю.
After John’s disciples heard [what happened], they went [to the prison] and took John’s body and then they buried [it in a burial cave].
30 Апостоли повернулися до Ісуса й розповіли Йому про все, що зробили і як багато навчили [людей].
The [twelve] apostles returned to Jesus [from the places to which they had gone]. They reported to him what they had done and what they had taught [to people].
31 [Ісус] сказав їм: «Ідіть тепер у пустинне місце та відпочиньте трохи». Адже багато було тих, хто приходив та відходив, і вони не мали часу навіть поїсти.
He said to them, “Come [with me] to a place where no people are living, in order that we can be alone and rest a little while!” [He said this] because many people were continually coming to them and going [away again], with the result that [Jesus and] his disciples did not have time to eat [or do anything else].
32 Тож відпливли на човні в пустинне місце, щоб бути на самоті.
So they went away by themselves in a boat to a place where no people were living.
33 Але люди побачили їх та впізнали, тож побігли пішки з усіх міст та дісталися до того місця раніше за них.
[But many] people saw them leaving. They also recognized [that they were Jesus and the disciples, and they saw where they were going]. So they ran [ahead on land] from all the [nearby] towns to the place [where Jesus and his disciples were going]. They [actually] arrived there before [Jesus and the disciples].
34 Вийшовши на берег, Ісус побачив багато людей і змилосердився над ними, тому що вони були, як вівці, що не мають пастуха. І почав їх багато навчати.
As Jesus [and his disciples] got out of the boat, Jesus saw this large crowd. He felt sorry for them because they were [confused], like sheep that do not have a shepherd. So he taught them many things.
35 Коли минуло чимало часу, Його учні підійшли до Нього й сказали: ―Тут пустинне місце, і година вже пізня.
Late [in the afternoon], the disciples came to him and said, “This is a place where no people live and it is very late.
36 Відпусти людей, щоби пішли в хутори та села, які навколо, та купили собі їсти.
[So] send the people away in order that they may go to the surrounding farms and villages in order that they can buy for themselves something to eat!”
37 Але Він сказав їм: ―Ви дайте їм їсти! Вони запитали: ―Чи нам піти купити хліба на двісті динаріїв і дати їм їсти?
But he replied, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “(We could not buy enough bread to feed [this crowd], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days!/How could we buy enough bread to feed [this mob], even if we had as much money as a man earns by working 200 days?)” [RHQ]
38 [Ісус] сказав їм: ―Скільки хлібів у вас є? Ідіть та подивіться! Дізнавшись, вони сказали: ―П’ять хлібів та дві рибини.
But he replied to them, “How many loaves of bread do you have? Go and find out!” They [went and] found out and then they told him, “We have [only] five flat loaves and two [cooked] fish!”
39 Тоді наказав учням розсадити всіх на зеленій траві.
He instructed [the disciples to tell] all the people to sit down on the green grass.
40 І розсадили їх групами по сто та по п’ятдесят [осіб].
So the people sat in groups. There were 50 people in some groups and 100 people in other groups.
41 [Ісус] узяв ті п’ять хлібів та дві рибини, подивився на небо, благословив їх і, розломивши хліби, дав Своїм учням, щоб роздали людям. Так само роздали всім обидві рибини.
Jesus took the five flat loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God] for them. Then he broke the loaves and fish into pieces and kept giving them to the disciples in order that they would distribute them to the people.
42 Усі їли та наситилися,
Everyone ate [this food] until they all had enough to eat!
43 і назбирали дванадцять повних кошиків із залишками від риби.
The disciples then collected twelve baskets full of pieces [of bread] and of the fish [that were left over].
44 Тих, хто їв, було п’ять тисяч чоловіків.
There were approximately 5,000 men who ate the bread [and fish. They did not even count the women and children].
45 Відразу після цього [Ісус] звелів учням сісти в човен та переплисти на другий бік до Віфсаїди, а Він тим часом відпустить людей.
Right away Jesus told his disciples to get into the boat and then go ahead of him to Bethsaida [town, which was] further around [Lake Galilee. He stayed and] dismissed the many people who were there.
46 Відпустивши народ, [Ісус] пішов на гору, щоб помолитися.
After he said goodbye to the people, he went up into the hills in order to pray.
47 Коли настав вечір, човен був посеред моря, а Він залишився сам на березі.
When it was evening, the [disciples’] boat was in the middle of the lake and Jesus was by himself on the land.
48 Побачивши, що учні ледве веслують через супротивний вітер, близько четвертої сторожі ночі[Ісус], ідучи по воді, пішов до них і хотів їх проминути.
He saw that the wind was [blowing] against them as they rowed. As a result, they were having great difficulty. He approached them early in the morning, when it was still dark, by walking on the water. He intended to walk by them.
49 Коли учні побачили, що Він іде по воді, подумали, що це привид, і закричали.
They saw him walking on the water, but they thought that he was a ghost. They screamed
50 Адже всі, хто Його бачив, були налякані. [Ісус] відразу заговорив до них: «Будьте сміливі! Це Я! Не бійтеся!»
because they all were terrified when they saw him. But he talked to them. He said to them, “Be calm! Do not be afraid, [because] it is I!”
51 Тоді Він увійшов до них у човен, і вітер стих. Учні дуже в собі здивувалися,
He got into the boat [and sat down] with them and the wind [immediately] blowing. They were completely amazed [about what he had done].
52 адже не зрозуміли чуда з хлібами: їхнє серце було закам’яніле.
[Although they had seen Jesus multiply] the [bread and the fish], they did not understand [from that how powerful he was, as they should have]. They did not think clearly about it.
53 Перепливши [море], вони прибули до Генезаретської землі й причалили.
After they went further around [Lake Galilee in a boat, they came to the shore at Gennesaret town]. Then they tied up the boat there.
54 Коли вони вийшли з човна, [люди] відразу впізнали Ісуса.
As soon as they got out of the boat, [the people there] recognized Jesus.
55 Вони оббігли всю ту околицю й почали на носилках приносити до Нього хворих.
So they ran throughout the whole district [in order to tell others that Jesus was there]. Then the people [placed] those who were sick on stretchers and carried them to any place where they heard [people say] that Jesus was.
56 І куди б Він не заходив, – у села, міста або хутори, – скрізь на майдани виносили хворих і благали Його дозволити лише торкнутися до краю Його одягу; і всі, хто торкався, зцілялися.
In whatever village, town or other place where he entered, they would bring to the marketplaces those who were sick. Then the [sick people] would beg Jesus to let them touch [him or] even the edge of his clothes [in order that Jesus might heal them]. All those who touched [him or his robe] were healed.
