Від Івана 12
1 Ісус же за шість день до Пасхи прибув до Віфа́нії, де жив Лазар, що його воскресив Ісус із мертвих.
Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
2 І для Нього вече́рю там спра́вили, а Марта прислуго́вувала. Був же й Лазар одним із тих, що до столу з Ним сіли.
There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
3 А Марія взяла літру мира, — з найдоро́жчого на́рду паху́чого, і намасти́ла Ісусові но́ги, і воло́ссям своїм Йому но́ги обтерла. І пахощі мира наповнили дім!
Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
4 І говорить один з Його учнів, Юда Іскаріо́тський, що мав Його видати:
But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
5 „Чому мира оцього за триста дина́рів не про́дано, та й не ро́здано вбогим?“
He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
6 А це він сказав не тому́, що про вбогих журився, а тому́, що був зло́дій: він мав скриньку на гроші, — і крав те, що вкида́ли.
He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
7 І промовив Ісус: „Позостав її ти, — це вона на день по́хорону заховала Мені.
Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
8 Бо вбогих ви маєте за́вжди з собою, а Мене не постійно ви маєте!“
There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
9 А на́товп великий юдеїв довідався, що Він там, та й поприхо́дили не з-за Ісуса Само́го, але щоб побачити й Лазаря, що його воскресив Він із мертвих.
A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
10 А первосвященики змо́вилися, щоб і Лазареві смерть заподіяти,
So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
11 бо багато з юдеїв з-за нього відхо́дили, та в Ісуса ввірували.
because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
12 А другого дня, коли бе́зліч наро́ду, що зібрався на свято, прочула, що до Єрусалиму надходить Ісус,
The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
13 то взяли́ вони па́льмове ві́ття, і вийшли назу́стріч Йому та й кричали: „Оса́нна! Благослове́нний, хто йде у Господнє Ім'я́! Цар Ізраїлів!“
So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
14 Ісус же, знайшовши осля, сів на нього, як написано:
When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
15 „Не бійся, до́чко Сіонська! Ото Цар твій іде, сидячи́ на ослі молодому!“
You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
16 А учні Його спочатку́ того не зрозуміли були́, але, як прославивсь Ісус, то згадали тоді, що про Нього було так написано, і що цеє вчинили Йому́.
At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
17 Тоді свідчив наро́д, який був із Ним, що Він викликав Лазаря з гро́бу, і воскресив його з мертвих.
The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
18 Через це й зустрів на́товп Його, бо почув, що Він учинив таке чудо.
Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
19 Фарисеї тоді між собою казали: „Ви бачите, що нічо́го не вдієте: ось пішов увесь світ услід за Ним!“
So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
20 А між тими, що в свято прийшли поклонитись, були й деякі ге́ллени.
Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
21 І вони підійшли до Пилипа, що з Віфсаї́ди Галілейської, і просили його та казали: „Ми хочемо, пане, побачити Ісуса“.
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
22 Іде Пилип та Андрієві каже; іде Андрій і Пилип та Ісусові розповідають.
So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
23 Ісус же їм відповідає, говорячи: „Надійшла́ година, щоб Син Лю́дський просла́вивсь.
Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
24 Поправді, поправді кажу́ вам: коли зе́рно пшеничне, як у землю впаде́, не помре, то одне зостається; як умре ж, плід рясни́й принесе́.
Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
25 Хто кохає душу свою, той погубить її; хто ж нена́видить душу свою на цім світі, — збереже її в вічне життя. (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Як хто служить Мені, хай іде той за Мною, і де Я, там буде й слуга Мій. Як хто служить Мені, того пошану́є Отець.
If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
27 Затривожена зараз душа Моя. І що Я пові́м? Заступи Мене, Отче, від цієї години! Та на те Я й прийшов на годину оцю́...
Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
28 Прослав, Отче, Ім'я́ Своє!“Залуна́в тоді голос із неба: „І прославив, — і зно́ву прославлю!“
My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
29 А наро́д, що стояв і почув, говорив: „Загреміло"! Інші казали: „ Це ангол Йому говорив“!
The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
30 Ісус відповів і сказав: „Не для Мене цей голос луна́в, а для вас.
Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
31 Тепер суд цьому світові. Князь світу цього буде ви́гнаний звідси тепер.
Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
32 І, як буду підне́сений з землі, то до Себе Я всіх притягну́“.
But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
33 А Він це говорив, щоб зазна́чити, якою то смертю Він має померти.
He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
34 А наро́д відповів Йому́: „Ми чули з Зако́ну, що Христос перебуває повік, то чого ж Ти говориш, що Лю́дському Сину потрібно підне́сеному бути? Хто такий Цей Син Лю́дський?“ (aiōn g165)
[Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
35 І сказав їм Ісус: „Короткий ще час світло з вами. Ходіть, поки маєте світло, щоб вас те́мрява не обгорну́ла. А хто в те́мряві ходить, не знає, куди він іде.
Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
36 Аж доки ви маєте світло, то віруйте в світло, щоб синами світла ви стали“. Промовивши це, Ісус відійшов, і схова́вся від них.
Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
37 І хоч Він стільки чуд перед ними вчинив був, та в Нього вони не ввірували,
Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
38 щоб спра́вдилось слово пророка Ісаї, який провіща́в: „Хто повірив тому́, що ми, Господи, чули, а Господнє раме́но кому́ об'яви́лось?“
[Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
39 Тому́ не могли вони вірити, що зно́ву Ісая прорік:
That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
40 „Засліпив їхні очі, і скам'янив їхнє серце, щоб очима не бачили, ані серцем щоб не зрозуміли, і не наверну́лись, щоб Я їх уздоро́вив!“
They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
41 Це Ісая сказав, коли бачив славу Його, і про Нього звіща́в.
Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
42 Проте́ багато-хто навіть із старших у Нього ввірували, та не признавались через фарисеїв, — щоб не вигнано їх із синагоги.
Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
43 Бо любили вони славу людську більше, аніж славу Божу.
They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
44 А Ісус підняв голос, та й промовляв: „Хто вірує в Мене, не в Мене він вірує, але в Того, Хто послав Мене.
[Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
45 А хто бачить Мене, той бачить Того, хто послав Мене.
When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
46 Я, Світло, на світ прийшов, щоб кожен, хто вірує в Мене, у те́мряві не зоставався.
I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
47 Коли б же хто слів Моїх слухав та не вірував, Я того не суджу́, бо Я не прийшов світ судити, але щоб спасти світ.
As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
48 Хто цурається Мене, і Моїх слів не приймає, той має для себе суддю́: те слово, що Я говорив, — останнього дня воно бу́де судити його!
There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
49 Бо від Себе Я не говорив, а Отець, що послав Мене, — то Він Мені заповідь дав, що́ Я маю казати та що́ говорити.
I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
50 І відаю Я, що Його ота заповідь — то вічне життя. Тож що́ Я говорю́, то так говорю́, як Отець Мені розповіда́в. (aiōnios g166)
I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
