Matthew 10
1 He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.
Ja hän kutsui tykönsä ne kaksitoista opetuslastaan ja antoi heille vallan ajaa ulos saastaisia henkiä ja parantaa kaikkinaisia tauteja ja kaikkinaista raihnautta.
2 [Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;
Ja nämä ovat niiden kahdentoista apostolin nimet: ensimmäinen oli Simon, jota kutsuttiin Pietariksi, ja Andreas, hänen veljensä, sitten Jaakob Sebedeuksen poika, ja Johannes, hänen veljensä,
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;
Filippus ja Bartolomeus, Tuomas ja Matteus, publikaani, Jaakob, Alfeuksen poika, ja Lebbeus, lisänimeltä Taddeus,
4 Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.
Simon Kananeus ja Juudas Iskariot, sama, joka hänet kavalsi.
5 When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
Nämä kaksitoista Jeesus lähetti ja käski heitä sanoen: "Älköön tienne viekö pakanain luokse, älkääkä menkö mihinkään samarialaisten kaupunkiin,
6 Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
vaan menkää ennemmin Israelin huoneen kadonneitten lammasten tykö.
7 When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
Ja missä kuljette, saarnatkaa ja sanokaa: 'Taivasten valtakunta on tullut lähelle'.
8 Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
Parantakaa sairaita, herättäkää kuolleita, puhdistakaa pitalisia, ajakaa ulos riivaajia. Lahjaksi olette saaneet, lahjaksi antakaa.
9 Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
Älkää varustako itsellenne kultaa, älkää hopeata älkääkä vaskea vyöhönne,
Älkää laukkua matkalle, älkää kahta ihokasta, älkää kenkiä, älkääkä sauvaa; sillä työmies on ruokansa ansainnut.
11 In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
Ja mihin kaupunkiin tai kylään te tulettekin, tiedustelkaa, kuka siellä on arvollinen, ja jääkää hänen luokseen, kunnes sieltä lähdette.
Ja tullessanne taloon tervehtikää sitä.
13 If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
Ja jos talo on arvollinen, tulkoon sille teidän rauhanne; mutta jos se ei ole arvollinen, palatkoon teidän rauhanne teille takaisin.
14 If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
Ja missä teitä ei oteta vastaan eikä teidän sanojanne kuulla, lähtekää pois siitä talosta tai siitä kaupungista ja pudistakaa tomu jaloistanne.
15 Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
Totisesti minä sanon teille: Sodoman ja Gomorran maan on tuomiopäivänä oleva helpompi kuin sen kaupungin.
16 “Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].
Katso, minä lähetän teidät niinkuin lampaat susien keskelle; olkaa siis älykkäät kuin käärmeet ja viattomat kuin kyyhkyset.
17 Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
Kavahtakaa ihmisiä, sillä he vetävät teidät oikeuksiin, ja synagoogissaan he teitä ruoskivat;
18 [And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
ja teidät viedään maaherrain ja kuningasten eteen minun tähteni, todistukseksi heille ja pakanoille.
19 When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
Mutta kun he vetävät teitä oikeuteen, älkää huolehtiko siitä, miten tahi mitä puhuisitte, sillä teille annetaan sillä hetkellä, mitä teidän on puhuminen.
20 It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
Sillä ette te itse puhu, vaan teidän Isänne Henki puhuu teissä.
21 [You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
Ja veli antaa veljensä kuolemaan ja isä lapsensa, ja lapset nousevat vanhempiansa vastaan ja tappavat heidät.
22 Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
Ja te joudutte kaikkien vihattaviksi minun nimeni tähden; mutta joka vahvana pysyy loppuun asti, se pelastuu.
23 When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
Ja kun teitä vainotaan yhdessä kaupungissa, paetkaa toiseen; sillä totisesti minä sanon teille: te ette ehdi loppuun käydä Israelin kaupunkeja, ennenkuin Ihmisen Poika tulee.
24 A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
Ei ole opetuslapsi opettajaansa parempi, eikä palvelija parempi isäntäänsä.
25 You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
Opetuslapselle riittää, että hänelle käy niinkuin hänen opettajalleen, ja palvelijalle, että hänelle käy niinkuin hänen isännälleen. Jos he perheenisäntää ovat sanoneet Beelsebuliksi, kuinka paljoa enemmän hänen perheväkeään!
26 “Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
Älkää siis peljätkö heitä. Sillä ei ole mitään peitettyä, mitä ei tule paljastetuksi, eikä mitään salattua, mikä ei tule tunnetuksi.
27 [So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
Minkä minä sanon teille pimeässä, se puhukaa päivän valossa. Ja minkä kuulette kuiskattavan korvaanne, se julistakaa katoilta.
28 Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Älkääkä peljätkö niitä, jotka tappavat ruumiin, mutta eivät voi tappaa sielua; vaan ennemmin peljätkää häntä, joka voi sekä sielun että ruumiin hukuttaa helvettiin. (Geenna g1067)
29 [Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
Eikö kahta varpusta myydä yhteen ropoon? Eikä yksikään niistä putoa maahan teidän Isänne sallimatta.
30 [He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
Ovatpa teidän päänne hiuksetkin kaikki luetut.
31 [God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
Älkää siis peljätkö; te olette suurempiarvoiset kuin monta varpusta.
32 If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
Sentähden, jokaisen, joka tunnustaa minut ihmisten edessä, minäkin tunnustan Isäni edessä, joka on taivaissa.
33 But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
Mutta joka kieltää minut ihmisten edessä, sen minäkin kiellän Isäni edessä, joka on taivaissa.
34 “Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
Älkää luulko, että minä olen tullut tuomaan rauhaa maan päälle; en ole tullut tuomaan rauhaa, vaan miekan.
35 Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
Sillä minä olen tullut 'nostamaan pojan riitaan isäänsä vastaan ja tyttären äitiänsä vastaan ja miniän anoppiansa vastaan;
36 [This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
ja ihmisen vihamiehiksi tulevat hänen omat perhekuntalaisensa'.
37 People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
Joka rakastaa isäänsä taikka äitiänsä enemmän kuin minua, se ei ole minulle sovelias; ja joka rakastaa poikaansa taikka tytärtänsä enemmän kuin minua, se ei ole minulle sovelias;
38 [People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
ja joka ei ota ristiänsä ja seuraa minua, se ei ole minulle sovelias.
39 People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
Joka löytää elämänsä, kadottaa sen; ja joka kadottaa elämänsä minun tähteni, hän löytää sen.
40 “[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
Joka ottaa tykönsä teidät, se ottaa tykönsä minut; ja joka ottaa minut tykönsä, ottaa tykönsä hänet, joka on minut lähettänyt.
41 Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].
Joka profeetan ottaa tykönsä profeetan nimen tähden, saa profeetan palkan; ja joka vanhurskaan ottaa tykönsä vanhurskaan nimen tähden, saa vanhurskaan palkan.
42 [Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
Ja kuka hyvänsä antaa yhdelle näistä pienistä maljallisen kylmää vettä, hänen juodaksensa, opetuslapsen nimen tähden, totisesti minä sanon teille: hän ei jää palkkaansa vaille."
