< Від Марка 1 >
1 Поча́ток Єва́нгелії Ісуса Христа, Сина Божого.
([This is/I want to tell you]) the good message about Jesus Christ, the Son of God (OR, the man who was also God). [What I want to tell you] begins just like the prophet Isaiah [said it would begin, when] he wrote [these words that God said to Jesus: ] Listen! I am sending my messenger ahead of you. He will prepare [people for] your [coming].
2 Як у пророка Ісаї написано: „Ось перед обличчя Твоє посилаю Свого посланця́, який перед Тобою дорогу Твою приготу́є.
3 Голос того, хто кличе: У пустині готуйте дорогу для Господа, рівняйте стежки́ Йому!“—
He will call out to people [who pass by where he is] in the desolate area, “As people improve and straighten out pathways [before an important official arrives] [MET], make [yourselves] ready [DOU] [in order that you will be prepared when] the Lord [comes].”
4 виступив був так Іван, що в пустині христив та проповідував хрищення на покая́ння — для про́щення гріхів.
[The messenger that Isaiah predicted was] John. [People called him] ‘The Baptizer’. In the desolate area near the Jordan River he kept telling people, “If you want God to forgive you for having sinned, you must turn away from your sinful behavior [before you ask me to] baptize [you].”
5 І до нього прихо́дила вся країна Юдейська та всі єрусали́мляни, і в річці Йорда́ні від нього христились вони, і визнава́ли гріхи свої.
A great number [HYP] of people who lived in Jerusalem [city] and [elsewhere] in the Judea [district] were going out to where John was. There, [after hearing John’s message], they [responded by] confessing the sinful things [that they had done]. Then they were being baptized by John {John was baptizing them} in the Jordan River.
6 А Іван зодягався в одежу з верблю́жого во́лосу, і мав пояс ремі́нний на сте́гнах своїх, а їв сарану́ та мед польови́й.
John wore [rough] clothes made of camel’s hair. And [as the prophet Elijah had done], he wore a leather belt around his waist; and what he ate was [only] grasshoppers and honey [that he found] in that desolate area.
7 І він проповідував, кажучи: „Услід за мною йде Поту́жніший від мене, що Йому я негідний, нагнувшись, розв'язати ремінця́ від узуття Його.
He was preaching, “Very shortly a man will come who is very great. I [am nothing compared to him. Because he is so superior to me], I am not even worthy to [serve him like a slave] by stooping down and untying his sandals.
8 Я христив вас водою, а Той вас христи́тиме Духом Святим“.
I used [only] water when I baptized you [because you said that you wanted to change your lives], but he will put his Holy Spirit [within] you [to truly change your lives].”
9 І сталося тими днями, — прийшов Ісус з Назаре́ту Галілейського, і від Івана христився в Йорда́ні.
During that time [when John was preaching], Jesus came from Nazareth [town], which is in Galilee [district]. He went to [where John was preaching] and he was baptized by John {John baptized him} in the Jordan [River].
10 І зараз, коли Він виходив із води, то побачив Іван небо розкрите, і Духа, як голуба, що схо́див на Нього.
Immediately after [Jesus] came up out of the water, he saw heaven opened up [and he saw] the Spirit [of God] descending on himself. He came in the form of a dove.
11 І голос із неба почувся: „Ти Син Мій Улю́блений, що Я вподо́бав Його!“
And [God] [MTY] spoke to him from heaven saying, “You are my Son, whom I love dearly. I am very pleased with you.”
12 І зараз повів Його Дух у пустиню.
(Then/Right away) the Spirit [of God] sent Jesus into the desolate area.
13 І Він був сорок днів у пустині, випробо́вуваний від сатани́, і перебував зо звірино́ю. І служили Йому анголи́.
He was there for 40 days. During that time, he was tempted by Satan {Satan tempted him}. There were wild animals [there] also. But angels took care of him.
14 А коли Іван ви́даний був, то прийшов Ісус до Галілеї, і проповідував Божу Єва́нгелію,
Later, after John was put in prison {after [soldiers] put John in prison} [because he had rebuked the governor Herod Antipas for his sins], Jesus went to Galilee [district]. There he was preaching the good message [that came] from God.
15 і говорив: „Збулися часи, — і Боже Царство набли́зилось. Покайтеся, і віруйте в Єва́нгелію!“
He was repeatedly saying, “Now is the time when God will begin to rule people’s lives [in a new way]. [So] turn away from your sinful behavior! Believe the good message [in order] ([to belong to him/to become those whose lives he will rule])!”
16 А коли Він проходив біля Галіле́йського моря, то побачив Си́мона та Андрія, брата Си́монового, що не́вода в море закида́ли, — бо риба́лки були́.
[One day], while Jesus was walking along by Galilee Lake, he saw [two men], Simon and Simon’s [younger] brother, Andrew. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake. They [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
17 I сказав їм Ісус: „Ідіть услід за Мною, — і зроблю́, що станете ви ловця́ми людей“.
Then Jesus said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will [teach] you how to [gather people to become my disciples]” [MET].
18 І зараз вони свого не́вода кинули, — та й пішли вслід за Ним.
Immediately they abandoned [the work that they were doing with] their nets, and they went with him.
19 А коли недалеко прийшов, то побачив Він Якова Зеведе́євого та брата його Івана, що й вони в чо́вні не́вода ла́годили.
After they had gone on a little further, Jesus saw [two other men], James and James’ [younger] brother, John. They were the sons of [a man named] Zebedee. They were both in a boat mending [fishing] nets.
20 І зараз покликав Він їх. І вони залишили батька свого Зеведе́я в чо́вні з робі́тниками, — і пішли вслід за Ним.
As soon as Jesus saw them, he told them that [they should leave their work and to come with him]. So they left their father, [who remained] in the boat with the hired servants, and they went away with Jesus.
21 І приходять вони в Капернау́м. І негайно в суботу ввійшов Він у синагогу, і навчати зачав.
[Later] Jesus [and those disciples] arrived at Capernaum [town]. On the next (Sabbath/Jewish rest day), after Jesus had entered (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), he began teaching [the people who had gathered there].
22 І дивувались науці Його, бо навчав Він їх, як можновла́дний, а не як ті книжники.
They were continually amazed at the way he taught. [He did] not [just teach what others had taught], like the men who teach the [Jewish] laws did. [They habitually just repeated what other people had taught]. Instead, he taught with [his own] authority.
23 І зараз у їхній синагозі знайшовся один чоловік, що мав духа нечистого, і він закричав,
Suddenly, [while he was teaching], a man [appeared] in their worship place who had an evil spirit in him, and he shouted,
24 і сказав: „Що́ Тобі до нас, Ісусе Назаряни́не? Ти прийшов погубити нас. Я знаю Тебе, хто́ Ти, — Божий Святий“.
“Jesus, from Nazareth [town, since] we [evil spirits] have nothing in common with you, ([do not interfere with us]!/what do you want with us [evil spirits]?) [RHQ] (Do not destroy us [now]!/Have you come to destroy us [now]?) [RHQ] I know who you are. I know that you are the holy one [who has come] from God!”
25 Ісус же йому заказав: „Замовчи, і вийди з нього!“
Jesus rebuked [the evil spirit], saying, “Be quiet! And come out [of the man]!”
26 І затряс дух нечистий того, і, скрикнувши голосом гучни́м, вийшов із нього.
The evil spirit shook the man hard. He screamed loudly, and then he came out of the man [and left].
27 І жахну́лися всі, — аж питали вони один о́дного, кажучи: „Що це таке? Нова наука із потугою! Навіть ду́хам нечистим наказує Він, — і вони Його слухають“.
All [the people who were there] were amazed. As a result, they discussed this among themselves, [exclaiming], “(This is [amazing]!/What is this?) [RHQ] Not only does he teach in a new and authoritative way, but also the evil spirits obey him [when] he commands [them]!”
28 І чутка про Нього пішла хвилі тієї по всій Галіле́йській країні.
The people very soon told [many others] throughout the whole Galilee district what Jesus [had done].
29 І вийшли вони із синагоги неба́вом, і прийшли з Яковом та Іваном до дому Си́монового й Андрієвого.
After they left (the synagogue/the Jewish meeting place), [Jesus, Simon and Andrew], along with James and John went directly to Simon and Andrew’s house.
30 А те́ща Си́монова лежала в гаря́чці; і зараз сказали про неї Йому.
Simon’s mother-in-law was lying in bed because she had a [high] fever. Right away someone told Jesus about her [being sick].
31 І Він підійшов і підвів її, узявши за руку, — і гаря́чка покинула ту, — і вона зачала́ прислуго́вувати їм.
He went to her, and helped her up by taking hold of her hand. She recovered [at once] from the fever, and then she [got up and] served them [some food].
32 А як вечір настав, коли сонце зайшло, то стали прино́сити до Нього недужих усіх та біснува́тих.
That evening, after the sun had gone down [and restrictions about travel on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]) [were ended], some people brought to Jesus many people who were sick and others whose lives evil spirits were controlling.
33 І все місто зібралося перед двери́ма.
[It seemed as though] everyone [HYP, MTY] [who lived in] the town was gathered at the doorway [of Simon’s house].
34 І Він уздоро́вив багатьох, на різні хвороби недужих, і багатьох де́монів повиганяв. А демонам не дозволяв Він казати, що знають Його.
Jesus healed many people who were ill with various diseases. He also expelled many demons [from people]. He did not allow the demons to tell people [about him], because they knew that he [had come from God, and for various reasons he did not want everyone to know that yet].
35 А над ранком, як дуже ще темно було́, уставши, Він вийшов і пішов у місце самі́тне, і там молився.
Jesus got up very early [the next morning] while it was still dark. He left [the house] and went away [from the town] to a place where there were no people. Then he prayed there.
36 А Си́мон та ті, що були з ним, поспішили за Ним.
Simon and his companions searched for him. When they found him, [wanting him to go back to town to help other people], they said to him,
37 І, знайшовши Його, вони кажуть Йому: „Усі шукають Тебе“.
“[Come back to the town with us, because] many [HYP] people [in Capernaum] are looking for you!”
38 А Він промовляє до них: „Ходім в інше місце, до сіл та око́лишніх міст, щоб і там проповідувати, бо на те Я прийшов“.
He said to them, “[No], let’s go on to the neighboring towns in order that I can preach there also, because the reason that I came [into the world] was to [preach to people] in many places!”
39 І пішов, і проповідував в їхніх синаго́гах по всій Галілеї. І демонів Він виганяв.
So they went throughout Galilee [district. As they did so, each (Sabbath/Jewish rest day]) he preached in (synagogues/Jewish meeting places). He was also expelling evil spirits [from people].
40 І приходить до Нього прокаже́ний, благає Його, і на коліна впадає та й каже Йому: „Коли хочеш, — Ти можеш очи́стити мене!“
[One day] a man who had [a bad skin disease called] leprosy came to Jesus. He knelt down in front of Jesus and then he pleaded with him saying, “[Please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you want to!”
41 І змилосе́рдився Він, — простяг руку Свою, і доторкнувся до нього, та й каже йому: „Хо́чу, — будь чистий!“
Jesus felt very sorry for him. [So he ignored the religious laws about coming close to people who had that disease]. He reached out his hand and touched the man. Then he said to him, “Since I am willing [to heal you], be healed {I heal you} [now]!”
42 І проказа зійшла з нього хвилі тієї, — і чистим він став.
Immediately the man was healed! He was no longer a leper!
43 А Він, погрози́вши йому, зараз вислав його,
Jesus spoke sternly to him before he sent him away.
44 і йому́ наказав: „Гляди, — не оповіда́й нічо́го ніко́му. Але йди, покажися священикові, і принеси за своє очи́щення, що Мойсей заповів, їм на свідо́цтво“.
What Jesus said was, “Go to a local priest and show yourself to him [in order that he may examine you and verify that you are healed]. Then, [after the priest tells the local people], they will know [that you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that you do not tell others [about what happened] Then go to [Jerusalem and take to the priest what Moses commanded that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer, in order that he] may offer it [as a sacrifice to God].”
45 А він, вийшовши, став багато оповіда́ти й говори́ти про поді́ю, так що Він не міг явно ввійти вже до міста, але перебува́в віддалік по самі́тних місцях. І схо́дилися звідусюди до Нього.
The man went [and presented himself to the priest. But then] he began to tell many people about [how Jesus had healed him] [DOU]. As a result, Jesus was no longer able to enter any town publicly [because the crowds would surround him]. Instead, he remained outside [the towns] in places [where no people lived]. But people kept coming to him from all over that region.
