Luke 20
1 One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
Og det skjedde en av dagene mens han lærte folket i templet og forkynte evangeliet, da stod yppersteprestene og de skriftlærde frem sammen med de eldste
2 They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
og sa til ham: Si oss: Med hvad myndighet gjør du dette, eller hvem er det som har gitt dig denne myndighet?
3 He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
Men han svarte og sa til dem: Også jeg vil spørre eder om en ting; si mig:
4 where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
Johannes' dåp, var den fra himmelen eller fra mennesker?
5 They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
Men de samrådde sig med hverandre og sa: Sier vi: Fra himmelen, da sier han: Hvorfor trodde I ham da ikke?
6 But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
Men sier vi: Fra mennesker, da stener hele folket oss; for de tror fullt og fast at Johannes var en profet.
7 So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
Og de svarte at de ikke visste hvor den var fra.
8 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].”
Da sa Jesus til dem: Så sier heller ikke jeg eder med hvad myndighet jeg gjør dette.
9 Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
Han begynte da å si denne lignelse til folket: En mann plantet en vingård og leide den ut til vingårdsmenn og drog utenlands for lange tider.
10 When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
Og da tiden kom, sendte han en tjener til vingårdsmennene, forat de skulde gi ham av vingårdens frukt; men vingårdsmennene slo ham, og lot ham gå bort med tomme hender.
11 [Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
Og han blev ved og sendte en annen tjener; men de slo også ham og hånte ham og lot ham gå bort med tomme hender.
12 [Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
Og han blev ved og sendte en tredje; men de slo også ham til blods og kastet ham ut.
13 So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
Da sa vingårdens herre: Hvad skal jeg gjøre? Jeg vil sende min sønn, den elskede; de vil da vel undse sig for ham.
14 [So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
Men da vingårdsmennene fikk se ham, la de op råd med hverandre og sa: Dette er arvingen; la oss slå ham ihjel, så arven kan bli vår!
15 So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
Og de kastet ham ut av vingården og slo ham ihjel. Hvad skal nu vingårdens herre gjøre med dem?
16 He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
Han skal komme og drepe disse vingårdsmenn og overgi vingården til andre. Da de hørte det, sa de: Det må aldri skje!
17 But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
Men han så på dem og sa: Hvad er da dette som er skrevet: Den sten som bygningsmennene forkastet, den er blitt hjørnesten?
18 [That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
Hver den som faller på denne sten, han skal knuses; men den som den faller på, ham skal den smuldre til støv.
19 The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
Og de skriftlærde og yppersteprestene søkte å få lagt hånd på ham i samme stund; men de fryktet for folket; for de skjønte at det var om dem han hadde sagt denne lignelse.
20 So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
Og efterat de nogen tid hadde voktet på ham, sendte de lurere, som lot som de var rettferdige, for å fange ham i ord, så de kunde overgi ham til øvrigheten og til landshøvdingens makt.
21 [So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
Og de spurte ham og sa: Mester! vi vet at du taler og lærer rett og gjør ikke forskjell på folk, men lærer Guds vei i sannhet;
22 [So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
er det oss tillatt å gi keiseren skatt, eller ikke?
23 But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
Men han merket deres list og sa til dem:
24 “Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
Vis mig en penning! Hvis billede og påskrift har den? De svarte: Keiserens.
25 He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
Da sa han til dem: Så gi da keiseren hvad keiserens er, og Gud hvad Guds er!
26 While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
Og de var ikke i stand til å fange ham i ord i folkets påhør, og de undret sig over hans svar, og tidde.
27 Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
Men det kom nogen av sadduseerne til ham, de som nekter at det er nogen opstandelse, og de spurte ham og sa:
28 They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
Mester! Moses har foreskrevet oss at når en manns gifte bror dør og ikke har barn, da skal hans bror ta hans hustru til ekte og opreise sin bror avkom.
29 Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
Nu var det syv brødre; og den første tok sig en hustru og døde barnløs.
30 The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
Og den annen
31 Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
og den tredje tok henne, og likeså alle syv; de efterlot ikke barn, og døde.
32 Afterwards, the woman died, too.
Til sist døde også kvinnen.
33 Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Hvem iblandt dem skal nu få kvinnen til hustru i opstandelsen? for alle syv har jo hatt henne til hustru.
34 Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
Og Jesus sa til dem: Denne verdens barn tar til ekte og gis til ekte; (aiōn g165)
35 But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
men de som aktes verdige til å få del i hin verden og i opstandelsen fra de døde, de hverken tar til ekte eller gis til ekte; (aiōn g165)
36 [You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
for de kan ikke mere dø, for de er englene like og er Guds barn, idet de er opstandelsens barn.
37 But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
Men at de døde står op, det har også Moses gitt til kjenne, der hvor det tales om tornebusken, når han kaller Herren Abrahams Gud og Isaks Gud og Jakobs Gud;
38 It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
men han er ikke de dødes Gud, men de levendes; for de lever alle for ham.
39 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
Da svarte nogen av de skriftlærde og sa: Mester! du taler vel.
40 After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
For de vågde ikke mere å spørre ham om noget.
41 Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
Men han sa til dem: Hvorledes kan det sies at Messias er Davids sønn?
42 Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
David selv sier jo i Salmenes bok: Herren sa til min herre: Sett dig ved min høire hånd,
43 [Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
til jeg får lagt dine fiender til skammel for dine føtter!
44 King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
David kaller ham altså herre; hvorledes kan han da være hans sønn?
45 While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
Men i hele folkets påhør sa han til sine disipler:
46 “Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
Vokt eder for de skriftlærde, som gjerne vil gå i side klær og gjerne vil la sig hilse på torvene og ha de øverste seter i synagogene og sitte øverst ved gjestebudene;
47 They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
de som opeter enkers hus og for et syns skyld holder lange bønner! Disse skal få dess hårdere dom.
