Від Марка 11
1 І коли вони набли́зились до Єрусалиму, до Вітфагі́ї й Віфа́нії, на Оливній горі, тоді Він посилає двох учнів Своїх,
When they came near to Jerusalem, they came to Bethphage and Bethany [villages] near Olive [Tree] Hill. Then Jesus [summoned] two of his disciples.
2 і каже до них: „Ідіть у село, яке перед вами, і, входячи в нього, ви зна́йдете зараз прив'язане осля́, що на нього ніхто ще з людей не сідав. Відв'яжіть його, і приведіть.
He said to them, “Go to that village just ahead of you. As soon as you enter it, you will see a donkey that no one has ever ridden, that has been tied {people have tied} up. Untie it, and then bring it [to me].
3 Коли ж скаже хто вам: „Що́ це ви робите?“відкажіть: „Господь потребу́є його, — і віді́шле його сюди зараз“.
If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing that?’, say, [‘Jesus], our Lord, needs [to use] it. He will send it back here [with someone] as soon as [he no longer needs it].’”
4 І вони відійшли, і знайшли те осля, що прив'я́зане коло воріт ізнадво́ру було при дорозі, — і відв'язали його.
So [the two disciples] went and they found the young donkey. It was tied close to the door [of a house], which was beside the street. Then they untied it.
5 А деякі з тих, що стояли там, сказали до них: „Що́ ви робите? По́що осля ви відв'я́зуєте?“
Some of the [people who were there] said to them, “Why are you untying the donkey?”
6 Вони ж їм відказали, як звелів їм Ісус, — і відпущено їх.
They told them what Jesus had said. So the people permitted them [to take the donkey].
7 І вони привели́ до Ісуса осля́, і поклали на нього плащі свої, а Він сів на нього.
They brought the donkey to Jesus. [The disciples] put some of their clothes on it [in order to make something for him to sit on].
8 Багато ж наро́ду стелили одежу свою по дорозі, а інші стелили дорогою зе́лень, натя́ту в полях.
Many people spread their cloaks on the road [to honor him as a king]. Others, [in order to honor him], spread along the road branches that they cut from [palm trees] in the fields [beside the road].
9 А ті, що йшли перед Ним і поза́ду, викрикували: „Оса́нна! Благослове́нний, хто йде у Господнє Ім'я́!
The people who were going in front of him and behind him were all shouting [things like], “Praise God!” “May God bless this one who comes (with his authority/as his representative) [MTY].”
10 Благословенне Царство, що надходить, Отця нашого Давида! Оса́нна на висоті!“
“May you be blessed {May [God] bless you} when you rule [like] our ancestor [King] David ruled!” “Praise God who is in the highest heaven!”
11 Потому ввійшов Він до Єрусалиму, і в храм. А оглянувши все, як година вже пізня була, Він пішов у Віфа́нію з Дванадцятьма́.
He entered Jerusalem [with them], and then he went into the Temple [courtyard]. After he looked around at everything [there], he left [the city] because it was already late [in the afternoon]. He returned to Bethany with the twelve [disciples and slept there].
12 А назавтра, коли вони вийшли з Віфа́нії, Він зголодні́в.
The next day, as Jesus and his disciples were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry.
13 І, побачивши зда́лека фіґове дерево, вкрите листями, Він підійшов, чи не зна́йде на ньому чого́. І, прийшовши до нього, не знайшов нічого, крім листя само́го, — не пора бо на фіґи була́.
He saw from a distance a fig tree with all its leaves, so he went [to it] to see if he could find any [figs] on it. But when he came to it, he found only leaves on it. This was because it was not yet time when [normal fig trees have ripe] figs.
14 І озвався Ісус і промовив до нього: „Щоб більше ніхто твого пло́ду не з'їв аж повіки!“А учні Його все те чули. (aiōn g165)
[But to illustrate how God would punish the nation of Israel, ] he said to the tree, “No one shall ever eat from you again [because you will no longer bear figs].” The disciples heard what he said. (aiōn g165)
15 І прийшли вони в Єрусалим. А як Він у храм увійшов, то став виганяти продавців і покупців у храмі, і попереверта́в столи грошомі́нам та осло́ни — продавцям голубів.
Jesus and his disciples went [back] to Jerusalem. He entered the Temple [courtyard. He saw people] who were selling and buying [animals for sacrifices. They were spoiling the place of worship]. He chased those people [from the Temple courtyard.] He also overturned the tables of those who were giving Temple tax money in exchange for Roman coins. He overturned the seats of the men who were selling doves [for sacrifices],
16 І Він не дозволяв, щоб хто річ яку носив через храм.
and he would not allow anyone who was carrying anything [to sell] to go through the Temple [area].
17 І Він їх навчав і казав їм: „Хіба не написано: „Дім Мій — бу́де домом молитви в наро́дів усіх“, ви ж із нього зробили „печеру розбійників!“
Then as he taught those people, he said to them, “It is written {[One of the prophets] wrote} [in the Scriptures that God said], ‘[I want] my house to be called {[people] to call my house} a house where [people from] all nations may pray’, but you bandits have made it [like] a cave where you can hide! ([You know that!/Do you not know that]?) [RHQ]”
18 І почули це первосвященики й книжники, і шукали, як Його погубити, бо боялись Його, — увесь бо наро́д дивувався науці Його.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws [later] heard [about what he had done]. So they planned how they might kill him, [but they knew that it would be difficult], because they realized that the crowd was amazed at what he was teaching and they feared [that the people would soon decide that Jesus had more authority over the Temple than they did] (OR, [feared what the people would do if they tried to arrest Jesus]).
19 А як пізно ставало, вони поза місто вихо́дили.
That evening, [Jesus and his disciples] left the city [and again slept in Bethany].
20 А прохо́дячи вранці, побачили фіґове дерево, усохле від кореня.
[The next] morning, while they were going along [the road toward Jerusalem, they saw that the fig tree that Jesus had cursed] had withered completely.
21 І, згадавши, Петро гово́рить Йому: „Учителю, глянь — фіґове дерево, що прокляв Ти, усохло!“
Peter remembered [what Jesus had said to the fig tree] and he exclaimed to Jesus, “Teacher, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered!”
22 А Ісус їм у відповідь каже: „Майте віру Божу!
Jesus replied, “[You should not be surprised that God did what I asked]! You must trust that God [will do whatever you ask him to do]!
23 Поправді кажу вам: Як хто скаже горі цій: „Порушся та й кинься до моря“, і не матиме сумніву в серці своїм, але матиме віру, що станеться так, як гово́рить, — то буде йому!
[Also] note this: If anyone says to this hill, ‘Be raised up {Rise up} and then be thrown {throw yourself} into the lake!’ and if he does not doubt [that what he asks for will happen], that is, if he believes that what he asks for will happen, [God] will do it for him.
24 Через це говорю вам: Усе, чого ви в молитві попро́сите, вірте, що одержите, і спо́вниться вам.
So I tell you, whenever you ask [God] for something when you pray, believe that you will receive it, and, [if you do, God] will do it [for you].
25 І коли стоїте́ на молитві, то прощайте, як маєте що проти кого, щоб і Отець ваш Небесний пробачив вам про́гріхи ваші.
Now, I [tell you this also]: Whenever you are praying, if you have a grudge against people [because they have harmed you], forgive them, in order that your Father in heaven will [likewise] forgive your sins.”
26 Коли ж не прощаєте ви, то й Отець ваш Небесний не простить вам про́гріхів ваших“.
27 І зно́ву прийшли вони в Єрусалим. Коли ж Він у храмі ходив, поприхо́дили первосвященики й книжники, і старши́ни до Нього,
Jesus and his disciples arrived in the Temple [courtyard] in Jerusalem again. While Jesus was walking [there, a group consisting of] chief priests, [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and elders came to him and they said to him,
28 і сказали Йому: „Якою Ти вла́дою все оце чиниш? І хто Тобі вла́ду цю дав, щоб Ти це робив?
“By what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like those you did here yesterday]?”
29 А Ісус відказав їм: „Запитаю й Я вас одне слово, і відповідайте Мені, то й Я відкажу́ вам, якою Я вла́дою це все чиню́.
Jesus said to them, “I will ask you one question. If you answer me, I will tell you who authorized me to do those things.
30 Іванове хрищення з неба було, чи від людей? Відповідайте Мені!“
Did God [MTY] or people [authorize] John to baptize [those who came to him]?”
31 Вони ж міркували собі й говорили: Коли скажемо: „Із неба“, відкаже: „Чого ж ви йому не повірили?“
They debated among themselves [as to what they should answer]. They [said to each other], “If we say that it was God [who authorized] him, he will say to us, ‘Therefore, (you should have believed what John said!/why did you not believe what John said?) [RHQ]’
32 А як скажемо: „Від людей“, — то боялись наро́ду, бо всі вважали, що Іван був поправді пророк.
On the other hand, if we say that it was people [who authorized John, then what will happen to us]?” They were afraid [to say that about where John got his authority, because they knew that] the people [would be very angry with them. They knew that] all the people truly believed that John was a prophet [whom God had sent].
33 І сказали Ісусові в відповідь: „Не знаємо“. А Ісус їм відказує: „То й Я не скажу́ вам, якою Я вла́дою це все чиню́“.
So they answered Jesus, “We do not know [where John got his authority].” Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question, I] will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
