Від Матвія 4
1 Потому Ісус був пове́дений Духом у пустиню, щоб диявол Його спокуша́в.
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
2 І по́стив Він сорок день і сорок ноче́й, а вкінці зголодні́в.
After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
3 І ось приступив до Нього споку́сник, і сказав: „Коли Ти Син Божий, скажи, щоб камі́ння це стало хліба́ми!“
[Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
4 А Він відповів і промовив: „Написано: Не хлібом самим буде жити люди́на, але кожним словом, що походить із уст Божих“.
But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
5 Тоді забирає диявол Його в святе місто, і ставить Його на нарі́жника храму,
Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
6 та й каже Йому: „Коли Ти Син Божий, то кинься додолу, бо ж написано: „Він накаже про Тебе Своїм Ангола́м, і вони на руках понесу́ть Тебе, щоб об камінь коли не спіткнув Ти Своєї ноги́“.
and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
7 Ісус відказав йому: „Ще написано: Не спокушуй Господа Бога свого!“
But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
8 Знов диявол бере Його на височе́зную го́ру, і показує Йому всі царства на світі та їхню славу,
Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
9 та й каже до Нього: „Це все Тобі дам, якщо впаде́ш і мені Ти покло́нишся!“
And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
10 Тоді каже до нього Ісус: „Відійди, сатано! Бо ж написано: Господеві Богові своєму вклоняйся, і служи Одно́му Йому!“
But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
11 Тоді позоставив диявол Його. І ось анголи́ приступили, і служили Йому́.
Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
12 Як довідавсь Ісус, що Івана ув'я́знено, перейшов у Галілею.
[While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
13 І, покинувши Він Назаре́та, прийшов й оселився в Капернау́мі примо́рськім, на границі країн Завуло́нової й Нефтали́мової,
Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 щоб спра́вдилось те, що сказав Іса́я пророк, промовляючи:
[One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
15 „Завуло́нова зе́мле, і Нефтали́мова зе́мле, за Йорда́ном при мо́рській дорозі, Галіле́є поганська!
“Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
16 Наро́д, що в темно́ті сидів, світло велике побачив, а тим, хто сидів у країні смертельної тіні, засяяло світло“.
[Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
17 Із того ча́су Ісус розпочав проповідувати й промовляти: „Покайтеся, бо набли́зилось Царство Небесне!“
From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
18 Як прохо́див же Він поблизу́ Галілейського моря, то побачив двох братів: Си́мона, що зветься Петром, та Андрія, його брата, що не́вода в море закида́ли, — бо рибалки були́.
[One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
19 І Він каже до них: „Ідіть за Мною, — Я зроблю́ вас ловця́ми людей!“
He 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]
20 І вони зараз покинули сі́ті, та й пішли вслід за Ним.
They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
21 І, далі пішовши звідти, Він побачив двох інших братів, — Зеведе́євого сина Якова та Івана, його брата, із Зеведе́єм, їхнім ба́тьком, що ла́годили свого не́вода в чо́вні, — і покликав Він їх.
As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
22 Вони зараз залиши́ли чо́вна та батька свого́, — та й пішли вслід за Ним.
They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
23 І ходив Він по всій Галілеї, по їхніх синаго́гах навчаючи, та Єва́нгелію Царства проповідуючи, і вздоро́влюючи всяку неду́гу, і всяку неміч між людьми.
Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
24 А чутка про Нього пішла по всій Си́рії. І водили до Нього недужих усіх, хто терпів на різні хвороби та муки, і біснуватих, і сновид, і розсла́блених, — і Він їх уздоровля́в.
When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
25 І багато людей ішло за Ним і з Галілеї, і з Десятимістя, і з Єрусалиму, і з Юдеї, і з Зайорда́ння.
Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
