Luke 9
1 [One day] Jesus summoned his twelve [apostles], and gave them power to expel all [kinds of] demons and to heal [people with] diseases. He gave them authority to do that.
Og han kalte de tolv sammen og gav dem makt og myndighet over alle de onde ånder og til å helbrede sykdommer,
2 [Before] he sent them out to heal people and to tell people [what it meant to let] God (rule/have complete control [over]) [their lives],
og han sendte dem ut for å forkynne Guds rike og helbrede syke.
3 he said to them, “Do not take things for your journey. Do not take a walking stick or a [traveler’s] bag or food or money. Do not take (an extra shirt/extra clothes).
Og han sa til dem: Ta ikke noget med på veien, hverken stav eller skreppe eller brød eller penger! heller ikke skal I ha to kjortler hver.
4 Whenever you enter some house [to lodge there], stay in that house until you leave that town.
Og i det hus I kommer inn i, der skal I bli, og fra det skal I dra videre.
5 [In towns] where the people do not welcome you, [you should not continue to stay there. Just] leave those towns. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [Do that to] warn them [that God will punish them for rejecting your message].”
Og hvert sted hvor de ikke tar imot eder, gå ut av den by og ryst støvet av eders føtter til et vidnesbyrd mot dem!
6 Then they left and traveled through many villages. Everywhere [they went], they told people God’s good message and healed sick people.
Så gikk de ut og drog omkring fra by til by og forkynte evangeliet og helbredet folk allesteds.
7 Herod [Antipas], the ruler of [that] district, heard about the things that [Jesus and his disciples] were doing. [He had previously commanded his soldiers to execute John the Baptizer, so now] he was perplexed, because some people were saying that John had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
Men fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes fikk høre om alt det som skjedde, og han var i stor tvil, fordi det blev sagt av nogen at Johannes var opstanden fra de døde,
8 Others were saying that [the prophet] Elijah had appeared [again as had been prophesied]. Others were saying that one of the [other] former prophets had become alive again [and was doing those miracles].
men av andre at Elias hadde vist sig, men av andre igjen at en profet, en av de gamle, var opstanden.
9 But Herod said, “[It cannot be John who is doing these things], [because] I [commanded my soldiers to] cut off his head. So who is [this man] that I am hearing these things about?” And he kept wanting to see [Jesus].
Og Herodes sa: Johannes lot jeg halshugge; men hvem er denne, som jeg hører sådant om? Og han søkte å få se ham.
10 When the apostles returned [from traveling to various towns], they told Jesus the things that they had done. Then he took them and they went by themselves [by boat] to a town called Bethsaida.
Og apostlene kom tilbake og fortalte ham alt det de hadde gjort; og han tok dem med sig og drog avsides til en by som heter Betsaida.
11 But when the crowds [of people who had been with Jesus] found out about that, they followed him [on land. When they got to where he was], he welcomed them. He taught them about how God is going to some day (rule as king/have complete control [over people’s lives]). He also healed the sick people.
Men da folket fikk det å vite, fulgte de efter ham; og han tok imot dem og talte til dem om Guds rike, og helbredet dem som trengte til lægedom.
12 Late in the afternoon Jesus’ twelve [apostles] came to him and said, “This is a place where nobody lives, so dismiss the people so that they can go to the surrounding villages and other places where they can get some food and find places to stay!”
Men dagen begynte å helle; da gikk de tolv til ham og sa: La folket fare, så de kan gå bort i byene og bygdene heromkring og få herberge og finne føde! for her er vi på et øde sted.
13 But he said to them, “[No], you [yourselves] give them something to eat!” They replied, “We [(exc)] have only five small loaves and two [cooked] fish. Are you [(sg)] going to [give] us [the money] to go somewhere and buy food for all these people?”
Han sa da til dem: Gi I dem å ete! Men de sa: Vi har ikke mere enn fem brød og to fisker, medmindre vi skulde gå bort og kjøpe mat til alt dette folk.
14 There were about 5,000 men [there]. He replied to the disciples, “[No], [just] tell the people to sit down. Tell them to sit in groups, with about 50 people in each group.”
For det var omkring fem tusen menn. Da sa han til sine disipler: La dem sette sig ned i lag på femti mann!
15 After they told the people that, they all sat down.
Og de gjorde så og lot alle sette sig ned.
16 Then he took the five small loaves and the two fish. He looked up towards heaven and thanked [God for them]. Then he broke them [into pieces] and gave them to the disciples so that they would distribute them to the crowd.
Da tok han de fem brød og de to fisker, så op mot himmelen og velsignet dem, og han brøt dem og gav dem til disiplene, forat de skulde dele ut til folket.
17 All [the people in the crowd] ate until they all had enough to eat. Then [the disciples] collected twelve baskets full of the broken pieces that were left over!
Og de åt og blev mette alle sammen; og da de tok op de stykker som var blitt tilovers efter dem, blev det tolv kurver.
18 [One day] Jesus was praying in a place where only the disciples were with him. He asked them, “The crowds [of people], who do they say that I [really] am?”
Og det skjedde engang mens han bad, og disiplene var alene med ham, da spurte han dem og sa: Hvem sier folket at jeg er?
19 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]. Others say that you are one of the [other] prophets who lived long ago, who has come back to life again.”
De svarte: Døperen Johannes; andre at du er Elias; andre igjen at en profet, en av de gamle, er opstanden.
20 He asked them, “What about you [(pl)]? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “You [(sg)] are the Messiah, who [has come from] God.”
Han sa til dem: Men I, hvem sier I at jeg er? Da svarte Peter: Guds Messias.
21 Then Jesus warned them strongly not to tell that to anyone [yet].
Men han bød dem strengt at de ikke skulde si dette til nogen,
22 Then he said, “[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 and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the [Jewish] elders and the chief priests and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws will reject me}. It is necessary that I be killed {that [people] will kill me}. Then on the third day [after that], I will become alive again.”
og han sa: Menneskesønnen skal lide meget og forkastes av de eldste og yppersteprestene og de skriftlærde og slåes ihjel, og opstå på den tredje dag.
23 Then he said to all of them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself desire [to do]. [Specifically], you must be willing each day [MET] [to let others hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what is done to criminals who are forced] to carry [MET] crosses [to the place where they will be executed]. [That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Og han sa til alle: Vil nogen komme efter mig, da må han fornekte sig selv og hver dag ta sitt kors op og følge mig.
24 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] will live [forever with me].
For den som vil berge sitt liv, skal miste det, men den som mister sitt liv for min skyld, han skal berge det.
25 People might get everything that [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]!/are they really gaining anything if they do not get eternal life by [becoming my disciples]?) [RHQ]
For hvad gagner det et menneske om han vinner den hele verden, men mister sig selv eller tar skade på sig selv?
26 Those who reject my message [and] refuse to say that [they belong] to me, [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.
For den som skammer sig ved mig og mine ord, ham skal også Menneskesønnen skamme sig ved når han kommer i sin og sin Faders og de hellige englers herlighet.
27 But listen carefully! Some of you [(pl)] who are here now will see God ruling [MET] [in many powerful ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Jeg sier eder for sant: Nogen av dem som her står, skal ikke smake døden før de ser Guds rike.
28 About a week after [Jesus] said those things, he took Peter, James, and [James’ brother] John and led them up a mountain so that he could pray [there].
Og det skjedde omkring åtte dager efterat han hadde talt dette, at han tok med sig Peter og Johannes og Jakob og gikk op i fjellet for å bede.
29 As he was praying, his face appeared very different to them. His clothes became as bright as lightning.
Og mens han bad, blev hans åsyn anderledes å se til, og hans klædning blev hvit og skinte som lynet.
30 Suddenly, two men appeared who had the brightness [of heaven] surrounding them. They were [prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah. They started talking with Jesus about how he [would accomplish what God had planned when he died] [EUP] [very soon] in Jerusalem.
Og se, to menn talte med ham, og det var Moses og Elias;
de viste sig i herlighet og talte om hans bortgang, som han skulde fullbyrde i Jerusalem.
32 Peter and the other [disciples] who were with him were sound asleep. When they woke up, they saw [Jesus’] brightness. They also saw the two men standing with him.
Peter og de som var med ham, var tunge av søvn; men da de blev fullt våkne, så de hans herlighet og de to menn som stod hos ham.
33 As [Moses and Elijah] were starting to leave Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is wonderful for us to be here! Allow us to make three shelters, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah!” But he really did not realize what he was talking about.
Og det skjedde da de skiltes fra ham, da sa Peter til Jesus: Mester! det er godt at vi er her; la oss gjøre tre boliger, en til dig, og en til Moses, og en til Elias! - han visste ikke hvad han sa.
34 As he was saying that, a [bright] cloud appeared and covered them all. The disciples were afraid as the cloud surrounded them.
Som han sa dette, kom en sky og overskygget dem; og de blev forferdet da de kom inn i skyen.
35 [God] [MTY/EUP] spoke to them from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son. He is the one whom [I] have chosen [to do a great work for me]. [So] you must listen to him!”
Og det kom en røst ut av skyen: Dette er min Sønn, den utvalgte; ham skal I høre!
36 After [God] [MTY/EUP] finished saying that, [the three disciples] saw that only Jesus was there. They did not tell anyone what they had seen until much later.
Og da røsten kom, var ingen å se, uten Jesus alene. Og de tidde stille og fortalte ingen i de dager noget av det som de hadde sett.
37 The next day, after they had come down from the mountain, a large crowd [of people] met Jesus.
Og det skjedde dagen derefter, da de kom ned fra fjellet, at meget folk kom ham i møte.
38 Then a man from the crowd exclaimed, “Teacher, I plead with you, [do something to help] my son! He is my only child!
Og se, en mann av folket ropte: Mester! jeg ber dig: Se til min sønn! for han er min eneste,
39 At various times an evil spirit suddenly seizes him and [causes] him to scream. The evil spirit shakes him violently and causes him to foam at the mouth. It does not leave until my child is completely exhausted.
og se, en ånd griper ham, og straks setter han i et skrik, og den sliter i ham så han fråder; og det er så vidt den slipper ham, og ille farer den da med ham;
40 I pleaded with your disciples [who were here] for them to expel [the evil spirit], but they were not able to do it!”
og jeg bad dine disipler at de skulde drive den ut, men de kunde ikke.
41 Jesus replied [by saying to everyone who had gathered there], “[You who have seen how I help people] do not believe [that you can do anything]. What you [think] is perverted! How long must I be with you [before you are able to do what I do] [RHQ]? [How long must I] endure your [lack of faith]?” [Then he said to the boy’s father], “Bring your [(sg)] son here [to me]!”
Jesus svarte og sa: Du vantro og vrange slekt! hvor lenge skal jeg være hos eder og tåle eder? Før din sønn hit!
42 While they were bringing the boy to Jesus, the demon attacked the boy, threw him to the ground, and shook him severely. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and healed the boy. Then he returned him to his father’s [care].
Ennu mens han var på veien til ham, rev og slet den onde ånd i ham; men Jesus truet den urene ånd og helbredet gutten og gav ham tilbake til hans far.
43 All the people [there] were amazed at the great [power] of God. Luke 9:43b-45 While they were all amazed at all the miracles [Jesus] was doing, he said to his disciples,
Og alle var slått av forundring over Guds storhet.
44 “Think carefully [MTY] about what I am about to tell you: [Even though I am] the one who came from heaven, [I will soon] be handed over to the authorities (OR, my enemies) {[someone] is about to enable [MTY] my enemies to seize me}.”
Men mens alle undret sig over alt det han gjorde, sa han til sine disipler: Gjem disse ord i eders ører: Menneskesønnen skal overgis i menneskers hender!
45 But [the disciples] did not understand what he was saying; [God] prevented them from understanding it, so that they would not know [yet] what he meant. And they were afraid to ask him about [what he had said].
Men de skjønte ikke dette ord, og det var skjult for dem, så de ikke fattet det, og de fryktet for å spørre ham om dette ord.
46 The disciples began to argue among themselves about which one of them would be the greatest [when Jesus became king].
Men det kom en tanke op i dem om hvem som vel var den største av dem.
47 But Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he brought a young child to his side.
Men da Jesus så deres hjertes tanke, tok han et lite barn og stilte det ved siden av sig
48 He said to [the disciples], “Those who, because they [love] me, (OR, because they want to behave like me) welcome a little child ([like] this one/[as] I [would]) [MTY], [God considers that] [MET] they are welcoming me. And those who welcome me, [God considers] that [MET] they are welcoming him, the one who sent me. Remember that those among you who think of themselves as being very unimportant will be the ones [whom God considers] to be great.”
og sa til dem: Den som tar imot dette lille barn for mitt navns skyld, tar imot mig, og den som tar imot mig, tar imot ham som sendte mig; for den som er den minste iblandt eder alle, han er stor.
49 John replied to [Jesus], “Master, we [(exc)] saw a man who was expelling demons, [claiming] that [he had] authority from you [MTY] to do that. So we told him to stop doing it, because he is not one of us [disciples].”
Da svarte Johannes og sa: Mester! vi så en som drev ut onde ånder i ditt navn, og vi forbød ham det, fordi han ikke er i følge med oss.
50 But Jesus said to him [and the other disciples], “Do not tell him not to [do that]! Remember that those who are not opposing you are trying to [achieve the same goals that] you are!”
Og Jesus sa til ham: Forbyd det ikke! for den som ikke er imot eder, er med eder.
51 When it was almost time for [God] to take Jesus up to heaven, he firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem.
Og det skjedde da det led mot tiden at han skulde optas, da vendte han sitt åsyn mot Jerusalem for å dra der op,
52 He sent some messengers to go ahead of him, and they entered a village in Samaria [district] to prepare for him [SYN] [to go there].
og han sendte bud foran sig. De gikk da avsted, og kom inn i en samaritansk by for å gjøre i stand for ham;
53 But [the Samaritans did not like the Jews because of their insisting that it was necessary to go to Jerusalem to worship God. So], because Jesus had firmly resolved to go to Jerusalem, they would not let him come [to their village].
og de tok ikke imot ham, fordi hans åsyn var vendt mot Jerusalem.
54 When two of his disciples, James and John, heard about that, they said, “Lord, do you [(sg)] want us [(exc)] to pray that [God] will send fire down from heaven, [as the prophet Elijah did long ago], and destroy those people?”
Da hans disipler Jakob og Johannes så det, sa de: Herre! vil du vi skal byde ild fare ned fra himmelen og fortære dem, likesom Elias gjorde?
55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them [for saying that].
Men han vendte sig om og talte strengt til dem og sa: I vet ikke av hvad ånd I er.
56 So they went to a different village.
For Menneskesønnen er ikke kommet for å ødelegge menneskeliv, men for å frelse. Og de gikk til en annen by.
57 As Jesus and the disciples were walking along the road, one man said to him, “I will go with you [(sg)] wherever you go!”
Og det skjedde mens de vandret på veien, da sa en til ham: Jeg vil følge dig hvorhen du går.
58 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with Jesus], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I am] the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep!”
Og Jesus sa til ham: Revene har huler, og himmelens fugler reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det han kan helle sitt hode til.
59 Jesus told another man, “Come with me!” But the man said, “Lord/Sir, let me go [home] first. [After] my father [dies] I will bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Han sa til en annen: Følg mig! Men han sa: Herre! gi mig først lov til å gå bort og begrave min far!
60 But Jesus said to him, “[God considers that those who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die. As for you, go and tell people about how God wants (to rule/to have complete control [over]) [people’s lives]!”
Men han sa til ham: La de døde begrave sine døde; men gå du avsted og forkynn Guds rike!
61 Someone else said, “Lord, I will come with you and be your disciple, but first let me go home to say goodbye to my relatives.”
Også en annen sa: Jeg vil følge dig, Herre! men gi mig først lov til å si farvel til dem der hjemme!
62 Jesus said to him, “Anyone who is plowing his field should not look back [to see what he has done. He must look forward to what is ahead. Similarly], [anyone who continues to be concerned about his family and other things he has left behind] is not fit [to serve me and tell others about how] God wants to rule [MTY] [people’s lives].”
Men Jesus sa til ham: Ingen som legger sin hånd på plogen og ser sig tilbake, er skikket for Guds rike.
