Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Silloin tuli fariseuksia ja kirjanoppineita Jerusalemista Jeesuksen luo, ja he sanoivat:
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
"Miksi sinun opetuslapsesi rikkovat vanhinten perinnäissääntöä? Sillä he eivät pese käsiään ruvetessaan aterialle."
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
Mutta hän vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Miksi te itse rikotte Jumalan käskyn perinnäissääntönne tähden?
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
Sillä Jumala on sanonut: 'Kunnioita isääsi ja äitiäsi', ja: 'Joka kiroaa isäänsä tai äitiänsä, sen pitää kuolemalla kuoleman'.
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Mutta te sanotte: Joka sanoo isälleen tai äidilleen: 'Se, minkä sinä olisit ollut minulta saapa, on annettu uhrilahjaksi', sen ei tarvitse kunnioittaa isäänsä eikä äitiänsä.
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
Ja niin te olette tehneet Jumalan sanan tyhjäksi perinnäissääntönne tähden.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
Te ulkokullatut, oikein teistä Esaias ennusti, sanoen:
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
'Tämä kansa kunnioittaa minua huulillaan, mutta heidän sydämensä on minusta kaukana,
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
mutta turhaan he palvelevat minua opettaen oppeja, jotka ovat ihmiskäskyjä'."
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
Ja hän kutsui kansan tykönsä ja sanoi heille: "Kuulkaa ja ymmärtäkää.
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
Ei saastuta ihmistä se, mikä menee suusta sisään; vaan mikä suusta käy ulos, se saastuttaa ihmisen."
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Silloin opetuslapset tulivat ja sanoivat hänelle: "Tiedätkö, että fariseukset loukkaantuivat kuullessaan tuon puheen?"
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Mutta hän vastasi ja sanoi: "Jokainen istutus, jota minun taivaallinen Isäni ei ole istuttanut, on juurineen revittävä pois.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Älkää heistä välittäkö: he ovat sokeita sokeain taluttajia; mutta jos sokea sokeaa taluttaa, niin he molemmat kuoppaan lankeavat."
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Niin Pietari vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Selitä meille tämä vertaus".
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
Mutta Jeesus sanoi: "Vieläkö tekin olette ymmärtämättömiä?
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
Ettekö käsitä, että kaikki, mikä käy suusta sisään, menee vatsaan ja ulostuu?
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Mutta mikä käy suusta ulos, se tulee sydämestä, ja se saastuttaa ihmisen.
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
Sillä sydämestä lähtevät pahat ajatukset, murhat, aviorikokset, haureudet, varkaudet, väärät todistukset, jumalanpilkkaamiset.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Nämä ihmisen saastuttavat; mutta pesemättömin käsin syöminen ei saastuta ihmistä."
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Ja Jeesus lähti sieltä ja vetäytyi Tyyron ja Siidonin tienoille.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Ja katso, kanaanilainen vaimo tuli niiltä seuduilta ja huusi sanoen: "Herra, Daavidin poika, armahda minua. Riivaaja vaivaa kauheasti minun tytärtäni."
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Mutta hän ei vastannut hänelle sanaakaan. Niin hänen opetuslapsensa tulivat ja rukoilivat häntä sanoen: "Päästä hänet menemään, sillä hän huutaa meidän jälkeemme".
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
Hän vastasi ja sanoi: "Minua ei ole lähetetty muitten kuin Israelin huoneen kadonneitten lammasten tykö".
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Mutta vaimo tuli ja kumarsi häntä ja sanoi: "Herra, auta minua".
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Mutta hän vastasi ja sanoi: "Ei ole soveliasta ottaa lasten leipää ja heittää penikoille".
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
Mutta vaimo sanoi: "Niin, Herra; mutta syöväthän penikatkin niitä muruja, jotka heidän herrainsa pöydältä putoavat".
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Silloin Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Oi vaimo, suuri on sinun uskosi, tapahtukoon sinulle, niinkuin tahdot". Ja hänen tyttärensä oli siitä hetkestä terve.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
Ja Jeesus lähti sieltä ja tuli Galilean järven rannalle; ja hän nousi vuorelle ja istui sinne.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
Ja hänen tykönsä tuli paljon kansaa, ja he toivat mukanaan rampoja, raajarikkoja, sokeita, mykkiä ja paljon muita, ja laskivat heidät hänen jalkojensa juureen; ja hän paransi heidät,
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
niin että kansa ihmetteli nähdessään mykkäin puhuvan, raajarikkojen olevan terveitä, rampojen kävelevän ja sokeain näkevän; ja he ylistivät Israelin Jumalaa.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Ja Jeesus kutsui opetuslapsensa tykönsä ja sanoi: "Minun käy sääliksi kansaa, sillä he ovat jo kolme päivää olleet minun tykönäni, eikä heillä ole mitään syötävää; enkä minä tahdo laskea heitä syömättä menemään, etteivät nääntyisi matkalla".
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Niin opetuslapset sanoivat hänelle: "Mistä me saamme täällä erämaassa niin paljon leipää, että voimme ravita noin suuren kansanjoukon?"
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
Jeesus sanoi heille: "Montako leipää teillä on?" He sanoivat: "Seitsemän, ja muutamia kalasia".
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Niin hän käski kansan asettua maahan.
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
Ja hän otti ne seitsemän leipää ja kalat, kiitti, mursi ja antoi opetuslapsillensa, ja opetuslapset antoivat kansalle.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Ja kaikki söivät ja tulivat ravituiksi. Sitten he keräsivät jääneet palaset, seitsemän täyttä vasullista.
Ja niitä, jotka aterioivat, oli neljätuhatta miestä, paitsi naisia ja lapsia.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Ja laskettuaan kansan tyköänsä hän astui venheeseen ja meni Magadanin alueelle.
