Від Матвія 21
1 А як зближались до Єрусалиму, й прийшли в Витфагию, до гори Оливної, послав тодї Ісус двох учеників,
As [we] approached Jerusalem, we came near Bethphage [village], near Olive [Tree] Hill. Jesus said to two [of his] disciples, “Go to the village just ahead of us. As soon as you enter [it], you will see a donkey and her foal that are {someone has} tied [up]. Untie them and bring them [here] to me.
2 глаголючи їм: Ідїть у село, що перед вами, й зараз знайдете ослицю, привязану й осля з нею; одвязавши, приведіть менї.
3 І коли хто вам казати ме що, скажіть: Що Господеві треба їх; зараз же відпустить їх.
If anyone says anything to you [about your doing that], tell [him], ‘The Lord needs them.’ He will [then allow you to] lead them away.”
4 Се ж усе сталось, щоб справдилось, що промовив пророк, глаголючи:
When all this happened, what was written by a prophet {what a prophet wrote about} was fulfilled {happened}. The prophet wrote, “Tell the people who live in Jerusalem [SYN], ‘Look! Your king is coming to you! He will come humbly. He [will show that he is humble, because he will be] riding on a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
5 Скажіть дочцї Сионській: Ось цар твій іде до тебе, тихий, сидячи на ослї й на ослятї, синові підяремної.
6 Пійшовши ж ученики, вчинили, як звелїв їм Ісус,
So the [two] disciples went and did what Jesus told them to do.
7 і привели ослицю і осля, й положили на них одежу свою, та й посадили Його верх неї.
They brought the donkey and its colt [to Jesus]. They placed their cloaks on them [to make something for him to sit on]. Then Jesus [mounted the colt] and sat on the cloaks.
8 Пребагато ж народу простилали одежу свою по дорозї; инші ж різали віттє з дерева і встилали дорогу.
Then a large crowd spread [some of] their clothing on the road, and other [people] cut off branches from [palm] trees and spread them on the road. [They did those things to decorate the road in order to honor Jesus].
9 Народ же, що йшов попереду й позаду, покликував, говорячи: Осанна синуyyy Благословен грядущий в імя Господнє; Осанна на вишинах.
The crowds that walked in front of him and those who walked behind him were shouting things like, “Praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” “May the Lord [God] bless [this one] who comes as [God’s] representative and with [God’s] authority [MTY].” “Praise God, who is in the highest [heaven]!”
10 А як увійшов Він у Єрусалим здвигнувсь увесь город, говорячи: Хто се такий?
As Jesus entered Jerusalem, a crowd of people [MTY] from all [over the city] became excited and were saying, “Why [are they honoring] this man [like that]?”
11 Народ же казав: Се Ісус, пророк із Назарета Галилейського.
The crowd [that was already following him] said, “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee!”
12 І прийшов Ісус у церкву Божу, й повиганяв усїх, що продавали да торгували в церкві, й поперевертав столи в міняльників, і ослони в тих, що продавали голуби;
Then Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard] and chased out all of those who were buying and selling things there. He also overturned the tables of those who were giving [Temple tax money in exchange for Roman] coins, and he overturned the seats of those who were selling pigeons [for sacrifices].
13 і рече до них: Писано: Дом мій дом молитви звати меть ся; ви ж його зробили вертепом розбійників.
Then he said to them, “It is {([Jeremiah/A prophet]) has} written [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called a place where [people] pray’, but you bandits have made it [MET] your hideout!”
14 І приходили до Него в церкві слїпі й криві, і сцїляв їх.
After that, [many] blind [people] and lame [people] came to Jesus in the temple [in order that he would heal them], and he healed them.
15 Бачивши ж архиєреї та письменники чудеса, що Він робив, і хлопят, що покликували в церкві, й казали: Осанна сину Давидовому, розлютувались,
The high priests and the men who taught the people the [Jewish] laws saw the wonderful deeds that Jesus did. [They also saw and] heard the children shouting in the Temple, “We praise the [Messiah], the descendant of [King] David!” The religious leaders were indignant [because they did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah].
16 і казали до Него: Чи чуєш, що оцї кажуть? Ісус же рече їм: Так. Хиба ви нїколи не читали: Що з уст немовляток і ссущих вирядив єси хвалу?
[They thought that Jesus should not be allowing the children to say that], so they asked him, “[How can you tolerate] this [RHQ]? Do you hear what these [children] are shouting?” Then Jesus said to them, “Yes, I [hear them, but] if you [remembered what] you have read [in the Scriptures about children praising me, you would know that God is pleased] [RHQ] [with them]. [The psalmist] wrote, [saying to God], ‘You have taught infants and other children to praise you perfectly.’”
17 І, покинувши їх, вийшов осторонь із города в Витанию, й пробував там.
Then Jesus left the city. We [disciples] went [with him] to Bethany [town], and we slept there [that night].
18 Уранцї ж, вертаючись у город, зголоднїв.
Early [the next morning], when we were returning to the city, [Jesus] was hungry.
19 І, побачивши одну смоківницю на дорозї, прийшов до неї, і нічого не знайшов на ній, тільки саме листе, і рече до неї: Щоб нїколи з тебе овощу не було до віку. І зараз усохла смоківниця. (aiōn g165)
He saw a fig tree near the road. [So he went over to it to pick some figs to eat]. But when he got close, he saw that there were no [figs on the tree]. There were only leaves on it. So [to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel], he said to the fig tree, “May you never again produce figs!” As a result, the fig tree withered that night. (aiōn g165)
20 І бачивши ученики Його, здивувались, кажучи: Як зараз усохла смоківниця!
[The next day] when we disciples saw [what had happened to the tree], we marveled, and we said [to Jesus], “(It is astonishing that the fig tree withered so quickly!/How is it that the fig tree dried up so quickly?)” [RHQ]
21 Ісус же, озвавшись, рече до них: Істино глаголю вам: Коли б ви мали віру й не сумнилпсь, ви б не тільки се смоківниці зробили, а коли б і сій горі сказали: Двигнись і кинь ся в море; станеть ся;
Jesus said to us, “Think about this: If you believe [that God has power to do what you ask him to] and you do not doubt [that], you will be able to do [things like what I have] done to this fig tree. You will even be able to do [marvelous deeds like] saying to a nearby hill, ‘Uproot yourself and throw yourself into the sea’, and it will happen!
22 і все, чого ви просити мете в молитві, віруючи, одержите.
In addition [to that], whenever you ask [God for something] when you pray [to him, if you] believe [that he will give it to you], you will receive [it from him].”
23 А як прийшов Він у церкву, поприходили до Него, навчаючого, архиєреї та старші людські, кажучи: Якою властю робиш се? й хто дав тобі сю вдасть?
After that, Jesus went into the Temple [courtyard]. While he was teaching [the people], the chief priests and the elders of the Jewish Council approached him. They asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do what you did [here yesterday] [DOU]?”
24 Ісус же, озвавшись, рече їм: Поспитаю вас і я про одну річ, про котру як скажете менї, то й я скажу вам, якою властю се роблю.
Jesus said to them, “I also will ask you a question, and if you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do these things.
25 Хрещеннє Иоанове звідкіля було: з неба, чи від людей? Вони ж міркували собі, говорячи: Коли скажемо: З неба, то скаже нам: Чом же ви не вірували йому?
Where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God or from people? [MTY/EUP]” The chief priests and elders debated among themselves [about what they should answer]. [They said to each other], “If we say, ‘[It was] [MTY/EUP] from God’, he will say to us, ‘Then (you should have believed his [message]!/why did you not believe [John’s message]?) [RHQ]’
26 коли ж скажемо: Від людей, то боїмо ся народу; всї бо мають Йоана за пророка.
If we say, ‘It was from people’, we are afraid that the crowd [will react violently], because all [the people] believe that John was a prophet [sent by God].”
27 І, озвавшись, сказали Ісусові: Не знаємо. Рече їм і Він: То й я не скажу вам, якою властю се роблю.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then he said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do the things I did [here yesterday].”
28 Ви ж як думаєте? Чоловік мав двоє дїтей; і, прийшовши до одного, рече: Дитино, йди сьогодні роби в винограднику моїм.
[Then Jesus said to the chief priests and elders], “Tell me [RHQ] what you think [about what I am about to tell you]. There was a man who had two sons. He went to his older son and said, ‘My son, go and work in my vineyard today!’
29 Він же, озвавшись, сказав: Не хочу; опісля ж, одумавшись, пійшов.
But the son said [to his father], ‘I do not want to [go and work in your vineyard today]!’ But later he changed his mind, and he went to the vineyard [and worked].
30 І, прийшовши до другого, рече так само. Він же, озвавшись, сказав: Ійду, Господи; та й не пійшов.
Then the father approached his younger son and said what he had said to his older son. That son said, ‘Sir, I will [go and work in the vineyard today.’] But he did not go there.
31 Которий з двох уволив волю отця? Кажуть вони до Него: Первий. Рече їм Ісус: Істино глаголю вам: Що митники та блудницї попередять вас у царство Боже,
So which of the man’s two sons did what their father desired?” They answered, “The older son.” Jesus [explained to them what that parable meant] by saying, “Think about this: [It is more likely that other people, including] tax collectors and prostitutes, [whom you think are very sinful], will enter where God rules, than it is that you [Jewish leaders] will enter.
32 Прийшов бо Йоан до вас дорогою правди, й не вірували йому; митники ж та блудницї вірували йому; ви ж, бачивши, не одумались навпослї, щоб вірувати йому.
I [say this to you] because, even though John [the Baptizer] explained to you how to live righteously, you did not believe his message. But tax collectors and prostitutes believed his [message, and they turned away from their sinful behavior]. In contrast, you, even though you saw what they did, refused to turn away from your sinful behavior, and you did not believe [John’s message].”
33 Иншої приповістї послухайте: Був один чоловік господар, що насадив виноградник, і обгородив його тином, і викопав у йому винотоку, й збудував башту, й вїддав його виноградарям, та й від'їхав.
“Listen to another parable [that I will tell you]. There was a landowner who planted a vineyard. He built a fence around it. He dug a hole in the ground [inside the fence]. He placed [in the hole] a stone tank to [collect the juice that would be] pressed out of the grapes. He also built a tower [inside that fence that someone would sit in to guard that vineyard]. He arranged for some men [to care for] the vineyard [and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went away to another country.
34 Як же наближила ся пора овощу, післав він слуги свої до виноградарів узяти овощі його.
When it was time to harvest the grapes, the landowner sent some of his servants to the men who were taking care of the vineyard to get his share of the grapes [that the vineyard had produced].
35 І, взявши виноградарі слуг його, одного побили, другого вбили, иншого ж укаменували.
But the renters seized the servants. They beat one of them, they killed another one, and [killed] another one of them [by throwing] stones at him.
36 Знов післав він инші слуги, більш нїж перше, й зробили їм так само.
[So the landowner] sent more servants than [he had sent] the first [time]. The renters treated those servants the same way that [they had treated the other servants].
37 На останок же післав до них сина свого, кажучи: Посоромлять ся сина мого.
Later, [knowing this], [the landowner] sent his son to [the renters to get his share of the grapes]. When he sent him, he said [to himself], ‘They will certainly respect my son [and give him some of the grapes].’
38 Виноградарі ж, побачивши сина, казали між собою: Се наслїдник: ходімо вбємо його, та й заберемо наслїддє його.
But when the renters saw his son [arriving], they said to each other, ‘This is the man who will inherit [this vineyard]! Let’s kill him and divide the property [among ourselves].’
39 І, взявши його, вивели геть з виноградника, та й убили.
So they grabbed him, dragged him outside the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Як же прийде пан виноградника, то що зробить він виноградарям тим?
[Now I ask you], when the landowner returns to his vineyard, what [do you think] he will do to those renters?”
41 Кажуть вони до Него: Лютих люто погубить їх, а виноградник оддасть иншим виноградарям, що віддавати муть йому овощ пори своєї.
[The chief priests and elders] replied, “He will thoroughly destroy those wicked [renters]! Then he will rent the vineyard to others. They will give him [his share of] the grapes when they are ripe.”
42 Рече до них Ісус: Хиба ніколи не читали в писаннях: Камінь, що відкинули будівничі, сей став ся головою утла. Від Господа стало ся се, й дивне воно в очах наших?
Jesus said to them, “[That is right, so you need to think carefully about these words which] you have read [RHQ] in the Scriptures: The builders rejected a certain stone. [But others put] that same stone [in its proper place, and it] has become the most important stone [of the] building [MET]. The Lord has done this, and we marvel as we look at it.
43 Тим я глаголю вам: Що відніметь ся од вас царство Боже, й дасть ся народові, що робити ме овощі його.
So, [because you reject me], I am going to tell you this: God will no longer let you [Jews] be the people over whom he rules. Instead, he will let [non-Jews] be the people over whom he rules, and they will do [IDM] what he asks them to do.
44 І хто впаде на сей камінь, розібєть ся; на кого ж вїн упаде, роздавить того.
[The important stone in the building represents me, the Messiah, and those who reject me are like people who fall on this stone]. Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken into pieces {This cornerstone will break into pieces anyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
45 І вислухавши архиєреї та Фарисеї приповісти його, догадались, що про них говорить.
When the chief priests and the [elders who were] Pharisees heard this parable, they realized that he was accusing them [because they did not believe that he was the Messiah].
46 І, шукаючи вхопити Його, спасували ся народу; бо мав Його за пророка.
They wanted to seize him, but [they did not do so] because they were afraid of what the crowds [would do if they did that], because [the crowds] considered that Jesus was a prophet.
