Від Івана 11
1 Був же хворий один, Ла́зар у Віфа́нії, із села Марії й сестри її Марти.
[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 А Марія, що брат її Лазар був хворий, була та, що помазала Господа миром, і воло́ссям своїм Йому но́ги обте́рла.
Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
3 Тоді се́стри послали до Нього, говорячи: „Ось незду́жає, Господи, той, що любиш його!“
So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
4 Як почув же Ісус, то промовив: „Не на смерть ця недуга, а на Божу славу, — щоб Син Божий прославився нею“.
[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 А Ісус любив Марту, і сестру її, і Лазаря.
Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
6 А коли Він почув, що нездужає той, то зостався два дні на тім місці, де був.
But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
7 Після ж того говорить до учнів: „Ходімо зно́ву в Юдею“.
But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8 Йому учні сказали: „Учителю, таж допі́ру юдеї хотіли камінням побити Тебе, а Ти знов туди пі́деш?“
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: „Хіба дня не дванадцять годин? Як хто ходить за дня, не спіткне́ться, — цьогосвітнє бо світло він бачить.
[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 хто ходить нічно́ї пори, той спіткнеться, — бо немає в нім світла“.
It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
11 Оце Він сказав, а по то́му говорить до них: „Друг наш Лазар заснув, — та піду́ 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 А учні сказали Йому: „Як заснув, то він, Господи, ви́дужає“.
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 Та про смерть його мовив Ісус, вони ж ду́мали, що про сонний спочи́нок Він каже.
Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
14 Тоді просто сказав їм Ісус: „Умер Лазар.
So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
15 І Я тішусь за вас, що там Я не був, щоб повірили ви. Та ходімо 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 Сказав же Хома, називаний Близню́к, до співучнів: „Ходімо й ми, щоб із Ним повмирати“.
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 Як прибув же Ісус, то знайшов, що чотири вже дні той у гро́бі.
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 А Віфа́нія поблизу Єрусалиму була́, яких стадій з п'ятнадцять.
Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
19 І багато з юдеїв до Марти й Марії прийшли, щоб за брата розва́жити їх.
Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
20 Тоді Марта, почувши, що надхо́дить Ісус, побігла зустріти Його, Марія ж удома сиділа.
When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
21 І Марта сказала Ісусові: „Коли б, Господи, був Ти отут, — то не вмер би мій брат.
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 Та й тепер, — знаю я, — що чого тільки в Бога попросиш, то дасть Тобі Бог!“
But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
23 Промовляє до неї Ісус: „Воскресне твій брат!“
Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
24 Відказує Марта Йому: „Знаю, що в воскресіння останнього дня він воскресне“.
Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
25 Промовив до неї Ісус: „Я воскресіння й життя. Хто вірує в мене, — хоч і вмре, 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 каже Йому: „Так, Господи! Я вірую, що Ти Христос, Син Божий, що має прийти на цей 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 І промовивши це, відійшла, та й покликала нишком Марі́ю, сестру свою, ка́жучи: „Учитель тут, і 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 А та, як зачула, квапли́во встала й до Нього пішла.
When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
30 А Ісус не ввійшов був іще до села, а знахо́дивсь на місці, де Марта зустріла Його.
Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
31 Юдеї тоді, що були з нею в домі й її розважали, як побачили, що Марія квапли́во встала й побігла, подали́ся за нею, гадаючи, що до гро́бу пішла вона, — плакати там.
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 Як Марія ж прийшла туди, де був Ісус, і Його вгледіла, то припала до ніг Йому та й говорила до Нього: „Коли б, Господи, був Ти отут, то не вмер би мій брат!“
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 А Ісус, як побачив, що плаче вона, і плачуть юдеї, що з нею прийшли, то в дусі розжа́лобився та й звору́шився Сам,
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 і сказав: „Де його ви поклали?“Говорять Йому́: „Іди, Господи, та подивися!“
He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 I заплакав Ісус.
Jesus began to cry.
36 А юдеї казали: „Дивись, як любив Він його!“
Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
37 А з них дехто сказали: „Чи не міг же зробити Отой, Хто очі сліпому відкрив, щоб і цей 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 же розжа́лобивсь знову в Собі, і до гро́бу прийшов. Була ж то печера, і камінь на ній наляга́в.
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 Промовляє Ісус: „Відваліть цього каменя!“Сестра вмерлого Марта говорить до Нього: „Уже, Господи, чути, — бо чотири вже дні він у гро́бі“.
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 каже до неї: „Чи тобі не казав Я, що як бу́деш ти вірувати, — славу Божу побачиш?“
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 І зняли́ тоді каменя. А Ісус ізвів очі до неба й промовив: „Отче, дяку прино́шу Тобі, що Мене Ти почув.
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 Та Я знаю, що Ти за́вжди почуєш Мене, але ради наро́ду, що довкола стоїть, Я сказав, щоб увірували, що послав Ти 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, промовивши це, Він скричав гучни́м голосом: „Ла́зарю, — вийди сюди!“
After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 І вийшов померлий, по рука́х і нога́х обв'я́заний па́сами, а обличчя у нього було́ перев'я́зане хусткою. Ісус каже до них: „Розв'яжіть його та й пустіть, щоб ходив“.
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 І багато з юдеїв, що посхо́дилися до Марії, та бачили те, що Він учинив, у Нього ввірували.
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 А деякі з них пішли до фарисеїв, і їм розповіли, що́ Ісус учинив.
But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Тоді первосвященики та фарисеї скли́кали раду й казали: „Що́ маємо робити, бо Цей Чоловік пребагато чуд чинить?
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 так позоставимо Його, то всі в Нього ввірують, — і при́йдуть римля́ни, та й ві́зьмуть нам і край, і наро́д!“
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 А один із них, Кайя́фа, що був первосвящеником року того́, промовив до них: „Ви нічо́го 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 і не поміркуєте, що краще для вас, щоб один чоловік прийняв смерть за людей, аніж щоб увесь наро́д мав загинути!“
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 А того не сказав сам від себе, але, первосвящеником бувши в тім році, пророкував, що Ісус за наро́д мав умерти,
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 лише за наро́д, але й щоб сполучити в одне́ розпоро́шених Божих дітей.
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 Отож, від того дня вони змо́вилися, щоб убити Його.
So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
54 І тому́ не ходив більш Ісус між юдеями явно, але звідти вдавсь до околиць поближче пустині, до міста, що зветься Єфре́м, — і тут залишався з Своїми 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 ж Пасха юдейська, і багато-хто з кра́ю вдались перед Пасхою в Єрусалим, щоб очи́стити себе.
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 І шукали Ісуса вони, а в храмі стоявши, гомоніли один до одно́го: „А як вам здається? Хіба Він не при́йде 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 А первосвященики та фарисеї нака́за дали́: як дізнається хто, де Він перебува́тиме, нехай донесе, — щоб схопи́ти Його.
