Lukas 5
1 Då nu en gång folket, för att höra Guds ord, trängde sig inpå honom där han stod vid Gennesarets sjö,
One day while many people were crowding around him to hear the message from God, Jesus was standing on the shore of Gennesaret Lake, [which is also called Lake Galilee].
2 fick han se två båtar ligga vid sjöstranden; men de som fiskade hade gått i land och höllo på att skölja sina nät.
He saw two [fishing] boats at the edge of the lake. The fishermen had gone out of the boats and were washing their [fishing] nets [on the shore]. One of the boats belonged to Simon.
3 Då steg han i en av båtarna, den som tillhörde Simon, och bad honom lägga ut något litet från land. Sedan satte han sig ned och undervisade folket från båten.
Jesus got in that boat and asked Simon to push the boat a little bit away from the shore [so that he could speak to the crowd more easily. Jesus] sat in the boat and taught the people [who were on the shore].
4 Och när han hade slutat att tala, sade han till Simon: "Lägg ut på djupet; och kasten där ut edra nät till fångst."
After he finished speaking [to them], he said to Simon, “Push the boat out to where the water is deep. Then let your nets down [into the water] to catch [some fish]!”
5 Då svarade Simon och sade: "Mästare, vi hava arbetat hela natten och fått intet; men på ditt ord vill jag kasta ut näten."
Simon replied, “Master, we [(exc)] worked hard all night but we did not catch any [fish]. But because you [(sg)] tell me to do it, I will let down the nets.”
6 Och när de hade gjort så, fingo de en stor hop fiskar i sina nät; och näten gingo sönder.
When Peter [and the men with him] had done that, they caught so many fish that their nets were breaking.
7 Då vinkade de åt sina kamrater i den andra båten, att dessa skulle komma och hjälpa dem. Och de kommo och fyllde upp båda båtarna, så att de begynte sjunka.
They motioned to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. So they came and filled both the boats [with fish from the net]. The result was that the boats were so full that they began to sink.
8 När Simon Petrus såg detta, föll han ned för Jesu knän och sade: "Gå bort ifrån mig, Herre; jag är en syndig människa."
Simon and all the men who were with him were amazed at how many fish they had taken. James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s partners, were among those who were amazed. When Simon, [whose other name was] Peter, saw [the fish, feeling ashamed to be in the presence of someone who obviously had God’s power], he prostrated himself before Jesus and said, “Lord, you should go away from me, because I am a sinful man!”
9 Ty för detta fiskafänges skull hade han och alla som voro med honom betagits av häpnad,
10 jämväl Jakob och Johannes, Sebedeus' söner, som deltogo med Simon i fisket. Men Jesus sade till Simon: "Frukta icke; härefter skall du fånga människor."
But Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid! [Up until now you(sg) have been gathering fish] [MET], but from now on you will gather people [to become my disciples].”
11 Och de förde båtarna i land och lämnade alltsammans och följde honom.
So after they brought the boats to the shore, they left their business [HYP] [in the hands of others] and went with Jesus.
12 Och medan han var i en av städerna, hände sig, att där kom en man som var full av spetälska. När denne fick se Jesus, föll han ned på sitt ansikte och bad honom och sade: "Herre, vill du, så kan du göra mig ren."
While [Jesus] was in one of the cities [there in the district of Galilee], there was a man there who was very severely affected by leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he prostrated himself before him and, [wanting Jesus to heal him], pleaded with him, “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because] you are able to heal me if you are willing to!”
13 Då räckte han ut handen och rörde vid honom och sade: "Jag vill; bliv ren." Och strax vek spetälskan ifrån honom.
[Then Jesus, disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], reached out his hand and touched the man. He said, “I am willing [to heal you]; and I heal you now!” Immediately the man [was healed]. He was no longer a leper [PRS]!
14 Och han förbjöd honom att omtala detta för någon, men tillade: "Gå åstad och visa dig för prästen och frambär för din rening ett offer, såsom Moses har påbjudit, till ett vittnesbörd för dem."
Then Jesus told him, “Make sure that you do not report [your healing immediately. First, go to a priest in Jerusalem] and show yourself to him [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. After the priest tells [the local people], they will know that [you have been healed, and you will be able to associate with them again]. Also take to the priest [the offering] that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer].”
15 Men ryktet om honom spridde sig dess mer; och mycket folk samlade sig för att höra honom och för att bliva botade från sina sjukdomar.
But many people heard the man’s report of what [Jesus had done]. The result was that large crowds came to Jesus to hear his [message] and to be healed of their sicknesses {so that he would heal their sicknesses}.
16 Men han drog sig undan till öde trakter och bad.
But he often would go away from them to the desolate area and pray.
17 Nu hände sig en dag, då han undervisade folket, att där sutto några fariséer och laglärare -- sådana hade nämligen kommit dit från alla byar i Galileen och Judeen och från Jerusalem -- och Herrens kraft verkade, så att sjuka blevo botade av honom.
One day when [Jesus] was teaching, some men from the Pharisee [sect] were sitting there. Some of them were men who taught the [Jewish] laws. They had come from many [HYP] villages in Galilee [district] and also from Jerusalem and from [other] villages in Judea [district]. [At that time while] God was giving Jesus power to heal people,
18 Då kommo några män dit med en lam man, som de buro på en säng; och de försökte komma in med honom för att lägga honom ned framför Jesus.
several men brought on a sleeping pad a man who was paralyzed. They wanted to bring him into [the house] and lay him in front of Jesus.
19 Men då de för folkets skull icke kunde finna något annat sätt att komma in med honom stego de upp på taket och släppte honom tillika med sängen ned genom tegelbeläggningen, mitt ibland dem, framför Jesus.
But there was no way to do that because of the large crowd of people, so they went up [the steps] onto the roof. They tied ropes onto the sleeping pad and, after [removing some of] the tiles on the roof, they lowered the man [on] the sleeping pad. They lowered him through the opening into the midst of the crowd in front of Jesus.
20 När han såg deras tro, sade han: "Min vän, dina synder äro dig förlåtna."
When Jesus perceived that they believed that [he could heal the man], he said to him, “My friend, [I] forgive your sins!”
21 Då begynte de skriftlärde och fariséerna tänka så: "Vad är denne för en, som talar så hädiska ord? Vem kan förlåta synder utom Gud allena?"
The men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the rest of the Pharisees began to think within themselves, “Who does this man [think he is, saying] that? He is insulting God! (Nobody can forgive sins!/What person can forgive sins?) [RHQ] Only God can do that!”
22 Men Jesus förnam deras tankar och svarade och sade till dem: "Vad är det I tänken i edra hjärtan?
Jesus perceived what they were thinking. So he said to them, “(You should not think that way [about what I said]!/Why do you question within yourselves [about what I said]?) [RHQ] [Consider this]:
23 Vilket är lättare att säga: 'Dina synder äro dig förlåtna' eller att säga: 'Stå upp och gå'?
It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins,’ [because no one could see whether or not his sins were really forgiven. But no one] [RHQ], [without having the power to heal], would say to [him], ‘Get up and walk!’ [because people could easily see whether he was healed or not].
24 Men för att I skolen veta, att Människosonen har makt här på jorden att förlåta synder, så säger jag dig" (och härmed vände han sig till den lame): "Stå upp, tag din säng och gå hem."
But [as a result of my healing this man] you [(pl)] will know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am on] the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the man who was paralyzed, “To you I say, ‘Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!’”
25 Då stod han strax upp i deras åsyn och tog sängen, som han hade legat på, och gick hem, prisande Gud.
Immediately the man [was healed]. He stood up in front of them. He picked up the [sleeping pad] on which he had been lying, and went home, praising God.
26 Och de grepos alla av bestörtning och prisade Gud; och de sade, fulla av häpnad: "Vi hava i dag sett förunderliga ting."
All the people [there] were amazed! They praised God and were completely awestruck. They kept saying, “We [(inc)] have seen wonderful things today!”
27 Sedan begav han sig därifrån. Och han fick se en publikan, vid namn Levi, sitta vid tullhuset. Och han sade till denne: "Följ mig."
Then [Jesus] left [the town] and saw a man who collected taxes [for the Roman government]. His name was Levi. He was sitting in the booth where he collected the taxes. Jesus said to him, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!”
28 Då lämnade han allt och stod upp och följde honom.
So Levi left his work [HYP] and went with Jesus.
29 Och Levi gjorde i sitt hus ett stort gästabud för honom; och en stor hop publikaner och andra voro bordsgäster där jämte dem.
Afterwards, Levi prepared a big feast in his own house [for Jesus and his disciples]. There was a large group of tax collectors and others eating together with them.
30 Men fariséerna -- särskilt de skriftlärde bland dem -- knorrade mot hans lärjungar och sade: "Huru kunnen I äta och dricka med publikaner och syndare?"
The men who were there who taught the [Jewish] laws, ones who belonged to the Pharisee [sect], complained to Jesus’ disciples, saying, “([It is disgusting that] you are eating with tax collectors and [others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners!/Why are you eating with tax collectors [and others who we(exc) consider to be] sinners?)” [RHQ]
31 Då svarade Jesus och sade till dem: "De är icke de friska som behöva läkare, utan de sjuka.
Then, [to indicate that it was those who knew that they had sinned who were coming to him for help], Jesus said to them, “[It is] people who are sick who need a doctor, not those who are well [MET].
32 Jag har icke kommit för att kalla rättfärdiga, utan syndare, till bättring.
[Similarly], I did not come [from heaven] to invite [those who think they are] righteous [to come to me]. On the contrary, [I came to invite those who know that they are] sinners to turn from their sinful behavior [and come to me].”
33 Och de sade till honom: "Johannes' lärjungar fasta ofta och hålla böner, sammalunda ock fariséernas; men dina lärjungar äta och dricka."
[Those Jewish leaders] said to Jesus, “The disciples of John [the Baptizer] often abstain from food [to show that they want to please God], and the disciples of the Pharisees do that, too. But your disciples keep on eating and drinking! [Why do not they fast like the others]?”
34 Jesus svarade dem: "Icke kunnen I väl ålägga bröllopsgästerna att fasta, medan brudgummen ännu är hos dem?
[To show them that it was not appropriate for his disciples to be sad and abstain from food while he was still with them] [MET], Jesus said to them, “When (the bridegroom/man who is getting married) is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], you certainly do not make his friends abstain from food, do you [RHQ]? [No, you do not do that].
35 Men en annan tid skall komma, och då, när brudgummen tages ifrån dem, då, på den tiden, skola de fasta." --
[But] some day he will be taken away {[his enemies] will take him away} from them. Then, at that time, his friends will abstain from food, [because they will be sad].”
36 Han framställde ock för dem denna liknelse: "Ingen river av en lapp från en ny mantel och sätter den på en gammal mantel; om någon så gjorde, skulle han icke allenast riva sönder den nya manteln, utan därtill komme, att lappen från den nya manteln icke skulle passa den gamla.
Then Jesus told them two parables [to show them that those who desire to live according to God’s new message should not be forced to obey the old religious traditions like] ([fasting/abstaining from food]), [and that those who know only the old traditions are not eager to accept new ones] [MET]. He said, “People never tear a piece of cloth from a new garment and attach it to an old garment [to mend it]. If they did that, not only would they be ruining the new garment by tearing it, but the new piece of cloth would not match the old garment.
37 Ej heller slår någon nytt vin i gamla skinnläglar; om någon så gjorde, skulle det nya vinet spränga sönder läglarna, och vinet skulle spillas ut, jämte det att läglarna fördärvades.
Neither does anyone put freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, the grape juice would burst the skin bags [because they would not stretch when the] new [wine ferments and expands. Then] the skin bags would be ruined, and [the wine] would [also] be spilled.
38 Nej, nytt vin bör man slå i nya läglar. --
On the contrary, new wine must be put into new wineskins.
39 Och ingen som har druckit gammalt vin vill sedan gärna hava nytt; ty han tycker, att det gamla är bättre."
Furthermore, those who have drunk [only] old wine [are content with that]. They do not want to drink the new wine, because they say, ‘The old wine is [MET] fine!’”
