Luke 8
1 Shortly afterwards, Jesus went on a journey through the towns and villages, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom of God. With him went the Twelve,
Varsti pärast seda käis Jeesus ringi linnades ja külades ning kuulutas head sõnumit Jumala riigist. Kaksteist jüngrit käisid koos temaga,
2 as well as some women who had been cured of wicked spirits and of infirmities. They were Mary, known as Mary of Magdala (from whom seven demons had been expelled),
peale selle hulga naisi, kelle ta oli kurjadest vaimudest ja haigustest terveks teinud: Maarja, keda hüütakse Magdaleenaks, kellest ta oli seitse kurja vaimu välja ajanud;
3 and Joanna (the wife of Herod’s steward, Chuza), and Susannah, and many others — all of whom ministered to Jesus and his Apostles out of their means.
Johanna, Heroodese kojaülema Kuusase naine; Susanna ja veel paljud teised, kes teda oma isiklike vahenditega toetasid.
4 Once, when a great crowd was collecting, and, when the people of town after town were flocking to Jesus, he spoke to them in the form of a parable:
Kord, kui oli kogunenud suur hulk inimesi, kes olid tulnud paljudest linnadest teda vaatama, hakkas Jeesus neile kõnelema ja kasutas näitlikustamiseks jutustust.
5 “The sower went out to sow his seed; and, as he was sowing, some of the seed fell along the path and was trodden upon; and the wild birds ate it up.
„Üks põllumees läks välja külvama. Kui ta seemet laiali puistas, kukkus osa sellest tee peale, kus inimesed selle jalgade alla trampisid ja linnud ära sõid.
6 Other seed fell upon rock, and, as soon as it began to grow, having no moisture, withered away.
Osa seemnest kukkus kivisele pinnale ja kui seeme oli idanenud, närbusid võrsed niiskuse puudumise tõttu.
7 Other seed fell in the middle of brambles, but the brambles grew up with it and choked it entirely.
Osa seemneid kukkus ohakate sekka ja kui mõlemad kasvasid, lämmatasid ohakad vilja ära.
8 Other seed fell into rich soil, and grew, and gave a hundred-fold return.” After saying this, Jesus cried aloud: “Let him who has ears to hear with hear.”
Osa seemnest kukkus hea maa peale ning andis hiljem saaki sada korda rohkem sellest, mis oli külvatud.“Kui ta oli seda rääkinud, hüüdis ta: „Kui teil on kõrvad, siis kuulake!“
9 His disciples asked Jesus the meaning of this parable.
Aga tema jüngrid küsisid talt: „Mida see mõistujutt tähendab?“
10 “To you,” he said, “the knowledge of the hidden truths of the Kingdom of God has been imparted, but to others in parables only, that ‘though they have eyes they may not see, and though they have ears, they may not understand.’
Jeesus vastas: „Teile on antud võimalus heita pilk Jumala riigi saladustesse, kuid ülejäänutele on antud mõistujutud, et „isegi kui nad näevad, siis nad tegelikult ei näe, ja kuigi nad kuulevad, ei saa nad tegelikult aru.“
11 This is the parable — The seed is God’s Message.
Selle mõistujutu tähendus on järgmine: seeme on Jumala sõna.
12 By the seed which fell along the path are meant those who hear the Message; but then comes the Devil and carries away the Message from their minds, to prevent their believing it and being saved.
Seemned, mis kukuvad tee peale, on need, kes kuulevad sõnumit, kuid kurat tuleb ja näppab tõe nende mõistusest ära, nii et nad ei usu Jumalasse ega saa päästetud.
13 By the seed which fell upon the rock are meant those who, as soon as they hear the Message, welcome it joyfully; but they have no root, and believe it only for a time, and, when the time of temptation comes, they draw back.
Seemned, mis kukuvad kivisele pinnale, on need, kes kuulevad sõnumit ja võtavad selle rõõmuga vastu, kuid neil ei ole juuri. Mõnda aega nad usuvad, aga kui tulevad rasked ajad, annavad nad alla.
14 By that which fell among the brambles are meant those who hear the Message, but who, as they go on their way, are completely choked by this world’s cares and wealth and pleasures, and bring nothing to perfection.
Seemned, mis kukuvad ohakate sekka, on need, kes kuulevad sõnumit, kuid selle elu asjad − mured, rikkus, lõbud − lämmatavad selle, nii et nad ei kanna vilja.
15 But by that in the good ground are meant those who, having heard the Message, keep it in the good, rich soil of their hearts, and patiently yield a return.
Heasse mulda külvatud seemned on need, kes on siirad ja teevad seda, mis on õige. Nad kuulevad tõesõnumit, haaravad sellest kinni ning annavad püsivuse tõttu head saaki.
16 No man sets light to a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or puts it underneath a couch, but he puts it on a lamp-stand, so that anyone who comes in may see the light.
Ei süüdata lampi, et seda siis ämbriga katta või voodi alla peita. Ei, lamp asetatakse lambijalale, et kõik, kes sisse tulevad, näeksid selle valgust.
17 Nothing is hidden which will not be brought into the light of day, not ever kept hidden which will not some day become known and come into the light of day.
Sest ei ole midagi varjatut, mis ei saaks avalikuks; ei ole midagi salajast, mis ei saaks teatavaks ja selgeks.
18 Take care, then, how you listen. For, to all those who have, more will be given; while, from all those who have nothing, even what they seem to have will be taken away.”
Nii et pange tähele, kuidas te kuulete. Neile, kes on vastu võtnud, antakse juurde; neilt, kes vastu ei võta, võetakse ära isegi see, mis neil enda arvates on!“
19 Presently Jesus’ mother and brothers came where he was, but they were not able to join him on account of the crowd.
Siis jõudsid kohale Jeesuse ema ja vennad, kuid nad ei pääsenud läbi rahvahulga tema juurde.
20 So word was brought to him — ‘Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.’
Jeesusele öeldi: „Su ema ja vennad on väljas. Nad tahavad sind näha.“
21 His reply, spoken to them all, was: “My mother and my brothers are those who listen to God’s teaching and do what it bids.”
„Mu ema ja vennad on need, kes kuulevad Jumala sõna ja teevad, mida see käsib, “vastas Jeesus.
22 One day about that time, Jesus got into a boat with his disciples and said to them: “Let us go across the lake.”
Ühel päeval ütles Jeesus oma jüngritele: „Lähme üle järve teisele kaldale.“Nii astusid nad paati ja asusid teele.
23 So they put off. While they were sailing, Jesus fell asleep. A squall swept down upon the lake, and their boat was filling and they were in danger.
Kui nad seilasid, jäi Jeesus magama ja alla järvele tuli torm. Paat hakkas veega täituma ja oli oht põhja minna.
24 So the disciples came and roused him. “Sir, Sir,” they cried, “we are lost!” Jesus rose and rebuked the wind and the rushing waves, and they fell, and a calm followed.
Nad läksid Jeesuse juurde ja äratasid ta üles „Õpetaja, õpetaja, me upume!“ütlesid nad. Jeesus ärkas üles ning käskis tuulel ja tormistel lainetel vaikida. Nii juhtuski ja kõik oli rahulik.
25 “Where is your faith?” he exclaimed. But in great awe and amazement they said to one another: “Who can this be, that he commands even the winds and the waves, and they obey him?”
„Kus on teie usk?“küsis ta neilt. Kohkunult ja hämmastunult ütlesid nad üksteisele: „Kes see siis on? Ta käsib tuuli ja vett ja need kuuletuvad talle!“
26 And they reached the country of the Gerasenes, which is on the opposite side to Galilee;
Nad seilasid üle järve gerasalaste territooriumile, mis asub Galilea vastaskaldal.
27 and, on getting ashore, Jesus met a man, who had demons in him, coming out of the town. For a long time this man had worn no clothing, and he had not lived in a house, but in the tombs.
Kui Jeesus astus paadist välja kaldale, tuli talle linnast vastu kurjast vaimust vaevatud mees. Pikka aega ei olnud ta riideid kandnud ega majas elanud. Ta elas hauakambrites.
28 Catching sight of Jesus, he shrieked out and threw himself down before him, and in a loud voice exclaimed: “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you not to torment me.”
Kui ta Jeesust nägi, hakkas ta karjuma, langes Jeesuse jalge ette maha ja küsis valju häälega: „Mida sa minust tahad, Jeesus, Kõigekõrgema Jumala Poeg? Ära piina mind, ma anun sind!“
29 For Jesus was commanding the foul spirit to come out from the man. On many occasions it had seized him, and, even when secured with chains and fetters, and watched, he would break through anything that bound him, and be driven by the demon into the Wilds.
Sest Jeesus oli juba käskinud kurjal vaimul mehest lahkuda. See oli sageli teda oma valdusesse võtnud ning hoolimata sellest, et teda oli kettide ja vangiraudadega kinni pandud, lõhkus ta ketid ning kuri vaim oli teda kõrbesse kihutanud.
30 “What is your name?” Jesus asked. “Legion,” he answered (for many demons had taken possession of him);
„Mis su nimi on?“küsis Jeesus talt. „Leegion, “vastas ta, sest temasse oli sisenenud palju kurje vaime.
Nad palusid, et Jeesus ei käsiks neil minna tühjusesse. (Abyssos g12)
32 There was a drove of many pigs close by feeding upon the hill-side; and the demons begged Jesus to give them leave to enter into them. Jesus gave them leave.
Lähedal asuval mäenõlval oli söömas suur seakari ja kurjad vaimud anusid teda, et ta lubaks neil sigadesse minna. Jeesus andis neile loa,
33 They came out from the man and took possession of the pigs; and the drove rushed down the steep slope into the lake and were drowned.
seega lahkusid kurjad vaimud mehest ja sisenesid sigadesse. Kari tormas järsku nõlva pidi alla järve ja uppus.
34 When the men who tended them saw what had happened, they ran away, and carried the news to the town, and to the country round.
Kui seakarjused nägid, mis juhtus, jooksid nad minema ning kuulutasid seda linnas ja maal.
35 The people went out to see what had happened, and, when they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting, clothed and in his right mind, at Jesus’ feet; and they were awe-struck.
Rahvas läks välja vaatama, mis oli juhtunud. Kui nad tulid Jeesuse juurde, leidsid nad mehe, kes oli kurjadest vaimudest vabastatud. Ta istus Jeesuse jalgade juures, kandis riideid ja oli terve mõistuse juures. Rahvas hakkas kartma.
36 Those who had seen it told them how the possessed man had been delivered;
Need, kes olid juhtunut näinud, selgitasid, kuidas kurjadest vaimudest vaevatud mees oli terveks saanud.
37 upon which all the people in the neighbourhood of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, for they were terrified. Jesus got into a boat and returned.
Siis kõik Gerasa ümbruskonna rahvas palus Jeesusel lahkuda, sest neid valdas hirm. Nii astus ta paati ja läks tagasi.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged Jesus to let him be with him; but Jesus sent him away.
Mees, kes oli deemonitest vabaks saanud, palus, et ta võiks kaasa minna, kuid Jeesus saatis ta minema.
39 “Go back to your home,” he said, “and relate the story of all that God has done for you.” So the man went through the whole town and proclaimed, as he went, all that Jesus had done for him.
„Mine koju tagasi ja räägi inimestele kõigest, mida Jumal on sinu heaks teinud, “käskis Jeesus. Nõnda siis mees läks ja kõneles kogu linnas kõigest, mida Jeesus oli tema heaks teinud.
40 On his return, Jesus was welcomed by the people; for everyone was looking out for him.
Kui Jeesus tagasi tuli, oli kogunenud teda vastu võtma rahvahulk, kes teda innukalt ootas.
41 And a man named Jaeirus, who was a President of the Synagogue, came to Jesus, and threw himself at Jesus’ feet, with entreaties that he would come to his house,
Üks neist oli mees nimega Jairus, sünagoogi ülem, kes tuli ja langes Jeesuse jalge ette. Ta anus, et Jeesus tuleks tema koju,
42 because his only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying. As Jesus was going, the people were pressing closely round him.
sest tema ainus tütar oli suremas. Ta oli umbes kaheteistkümneaastane. Sel ajal kui Jeesus oli teel sinna, tungles tema ümber rahvahulk.
43 And a woman, who had suffered from haemorrhage for twelve years, and whom no one could cure,
Rahva seas oli üks naine, kes oli kaksteist aastat veritsemise all kannatanud. Ta oli kulutanud kogu oma vara arstide peale, kuid keegi neist ei olnud suutnud teda aidata.
44 came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak. Instantly the haemorrhage ceased.
Ta lähenes Jeesusele selja tagant ja puudutas tema rüüd. Kohe lõppes veritsemine.
45 “Who was it that touched me?” Jesus asked; and, while everyone was denying having done so, Peter exclaimed: “Why, Sir, the people are crowding round you and pressing upon you!”
„Kes mind puudutas?“küsis Jeesus. Kõik ümberolijad eitasid puudutamist. „Aga, õpetaja, “ütles Peetrus, „sinu ümber tungleb rahvas ja nad müksavad sind kogu aeg.“
46 “Somebody touched me,” said Jesus; “for I felt that power had gone out from me.”
„Keegi puudutas mind, “vastas Jeesus. „Ma tean, sest vägi läks minust välja.“
47 Then the woman, when she saw that she was discovered, came forward trembling, and threw herself down before him; and, in the presence of all the people, she told him her reason for touching him, and that she had been cured instantly.
Kui naine mõistis, et ta ei saa märkamatuks jääda, astus ta värisedes esile ja langes Jeesuse jalge ette maha. Seal kõigi ees selgitas ta põhjust, miks ta oli Jeesust puudutanud, ja et ta oli silmapilkselt terveks saanud.
48 “Daughter,” he said, “your faith has delivered you. Go, and peace be with you.”
Jeesus lausus talle: „Tütar, su usk on su terveks teinud, mine rahus.“
49 Before he had finished speaking, some one came from the house of the President of the Synagogue and said: “Your daughter is dead! Do not trouble the Teacher further.”
Sel ajal kui ta alles rääkis, tuli keegi sünagoogi ülema kodust, et talle öelda: „Sinu tütar on surnud. Sul pole vaja enam Õpetajat tülitada.“
50 But Jesus, hearing this, spoke to the President: “Do not be afraid; only have faith, and she shall yet be delivered.”
Aga kui Jeesus seda kuulis, ütles ta Jairusele: „Ära karda. Kui sa usud, saab ta terveks.“
51 When he reached the house, he did not allow any one to go in with him, except Peter, John, and James, and the child’s father and mother.
Kui Jeesus maja juurde jõudis, ei lubanud ta sisse kedagi peale Peetruse, Johannese ja Jaakobuse ning tüdruku isa ja ema.
52 And every one was weeping and mourning for her. “Do not weep,” Jesus said, “she is not dead; she is asleep.”
Seal nutsid ja leinasid kõik inimesed tüdruku pärast. „Ärge nutke, “ütles Jeesus neile. „Ta ei ole surnud, ta lihtsalt magab.“
53 They began to laugh at him, for they knew that she was dead.
Nad naersid tema üle, sest nad teadsid, et tüdruk on surnud.
54 But, taking her by the hand, Jesus said in a loud voice: “Child, rise!”
Kuid Jeesus võttis tüdrukul käest kinni ja ütles valju häälega: „Mu laps, tõuse üles!“
55 The child’s spirit returned to her, and she instantly stood up; and Jesus ordered them to give her something to eat.
Tüdruk ärkas ellu ja tõusis kohe püsti. Jeesus käskis neil talle midagi süüa anda.
56 Her parents were amazed, but Jesus impressed on them that they were not to tell any one what had happened.
Tüdruku vanemad olid toimunust jahmunud, kuid Jeesus ütles, et nad ei räägiks sellest kellelegi.
