Від Марка 8
1 Тими днями, коли було зно́ву багато наро́ду, а їсти не мали чого́, покликав Він у́чнів Своїх та й промовив до них:
During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
2 „Жаль мені тих людей, що вже три дні зо Мною знахо́дяться, та їсти не мають чого́.
“This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
3 А коли відпущу́ їх голодних до їхніх домівок, то осла́бнуть у дорозі, бо деякі з них поприхо́дили зда́лека“.
Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
4 І відказали Йому Його у́чні: „Звідки зможе хто нагодувати їх хлібом отут у пустині?
[Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
5 А Він їх запитав: „Скільки маєте хліба?“Вони ж повідо́мили: „Се́меро“.
Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
6 Тоді Він народу звелів на землі посідати. І, взявши се́меро хліба, віддавши подяку, Він поламав і дав учням Своїм, щоб роздати. А вони роздавали наро́дові,
Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
7 І мали вони трохи ри́бок; і Він їх поблагословив, і роздати звелів також їх.
[They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
8 І всі їли й наїлися, а з позосталих кусків сім коші́в назбирали.
the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
9 А їдців було тисяч з чотири!
[They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
10 І всів Він негайно до чо́вна з Своїми у́чнями, та й прибув до землі далману́тської.
Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
11 І вийшли фарисеї, і почали́ сперечатися з Ним, і, Його випробо́вуючи, хотіли від Нього озна́ки із неба.
[In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
12 А Він тяжко зідхнув у Своїм дусі й промовив: „Якої ознаки цей рід вимагає? Поправді кажу́ вам, що родові цьому ознака не буде дана!“
Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
13 І покинув Він їх, усів знову до чо́вна, і на то́й бік відбу́в.
Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
14 І забули вони взяти хліба, і крім одно́го буханця́, у чо́вні не мали з собою нічого.
The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
15 А Він їм наказував та говорив: „Стережіться уважливо фарисейської розчи́ни й розчини Іродової!“
[As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
16 Вони ж міркували й казали один до одного, що хліба не мають вони.
[The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
17 А Ісус, знавши те, промовляє до них: „Чого́ ви міркуєте, що хліба не маєте? Чи ви ще не знаєте й не розумієте? Чи ще маєте серце своє затверді́лим?
Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
18 „Мавши очі — не бачите, і мавши ву́ха — не чуєте?“І не пам'ятаєте,
(I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
19 коли п'ять хлібів Я ламав на п'ять тисяч, — скільки повних коші́в із кусків ви зібрали?“Вони кажуть до Нього: „Дванадцять“.
when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
20 „А як сім на чотири тисячі, — скільки кошиків повних з кусків ви зібрали?“І відказують: „Сім“.
Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
21 І сказав Він до них: „Ви ще не розумієте?“
Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
22 І приходять вони в Віфсаї́ду. І приводять до Нього сліпого, і благають Його, щоб доторкну́вся до нього.
They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
23 І взяв Він сліпого за руку, та й вивів його за село. І посли́нивши очі йому, поклав руки на нього, і питався його, чи що бачить.
Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
24 І, зиркнувши, сказав той: „Я бачу людей, які ходять, немов би дере́ва“.
The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
25 Потім знов Він поклав Свої руки на очі йому, — і прозрі́в той, і одужав, і вира́зно став бачити все!
Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
26 І послав Він додому його й наказав: „До села й не заходь, і ніко́му в селі не розповіда́й!“
Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
27 Потому пішов Ісус й у́чні Його до сіл Кесарі́ї Пилипової, а в дорозі питав Своїх у́чнів, говорячи їм: „За кого Мене люди вважають?“
Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
28 Вони ж відповіли́ Йому, кажучи: „За Івана Христителя, другі — за Іллю́, а інші — за одно́го з пророків“.
They replied, “[Some people say] that you are John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
29 І Він запитав їх: „А ви за кого Мене маєте?“Петро Йому в відповідь каже: „Ти — Христос!“
He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
30 І Він заборонив їм, щоб ніко́му про Нього вони не казали!
Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
31 І почав їх навчати, що Синові Лю́дському треба багато страждати, і Його відцураються старші, і первосвященики, і книжники, і Він буде вбитий, — але третього дня Він воскресне.
Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
32 І те слово казав Він відкрито. А Петро узяв на́бік Його, і Йому́ став перечити.
He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
33 А Він обернувся й поглянув на у́чнів Своїх, та й Петру докори́в і сказав: „Відступись, сатано, від Мене, бо ду́маєш ти не про Боже, а про лю́дське!“
Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
34 І Він покликав народ із Своїми у́чнями, та й промовив до них: „Коли хоче хто йти вслід за Мною, хай зречеться самого себе, і хай ві́зьме свого хреста та й за Мною йде!
Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
35 Бо хто хоче душу свою́ зберегти, той погубить її, а хто згубить душу свою ради Мене та Єва́нгелії, той її збереже.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed because of being my [disciples] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
36 Яка ж ко́ристь люди́ні, що здобу́де ввесь світ, але душу свою занапа́стить?
People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
37 Або що́ назамі́н дасть люди́на за душу свою?
([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
38 Бо хто буде Мене та Моєї науки соро́митися в роді цім перелю́бнім та грішнім, того посоро́миться також Син Лю́дський, як при́йде у славі Свого Отця з ангола́ми святими“.
And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
