Matteus 16
1 Och fariséerna och sadducéerna kommo dit och ville sätta honom på prov; de begärde att han skulle låta dem se något tecken från himmelen.
[Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
2 Men han svarade och sade till dem: "Om aftonen sägen I: 'Det bliver klart väder, ty himmelen är röd',
He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
3 och om morgonen: 'Det bliver oväder i dag, ty himmelen är mulen och röd.' Ja, om himmelens utseende förstån I att döma, men om tidernas tecken kunnen I icke döma.
[Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
4 Ett ont och trolöst släkte är detta! Det åstundar ett tecken, men intet annat tecken skall givas det än Jonas' tecken." Och så lämnade han dem och gick sin väg.
[You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
5 När sedan lärjungarna foro åstad, över till andra stranden, hade de förgätit att taga med sig bröd.
[We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
6 Och Jesus sade till dem: "Sen till, att I tagen eder till vara för fariséernas och sadducéernas surdeg."
[Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
7 Då talade de med varandra och sade: "Det är därför att vi icke hava tagit med oss bröd."
Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
8 Men när Jesus märkte detta, sade han: "I klentrogne, varför talen I eder emellan om att I icke haven bröd med eder?
Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
9 Förstån I ännu ingenting? Och kommen I icke ihåg de fem bröden åt de fem tusen, och huru många korgar I då togen upp?
(You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
10 Ej heller de sju bröden åt de fyra tusen, och huru många korgar I då togen upp?
[Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
11 Huru kommer det då till, att I icke förstån att det ej var om bröd som jag talade till eder? Tagen eder till vara för fariséernas och sadducéernas surdeg."
(You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
12 Då förstodo de att det icke var för surdeg i bröd som han hade bjudit dem att taga sig till vara, utan för fariséernas och sadducéernas lära.
Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Men när Jesus kom till trakten av Cesarea Filippi, frågade han sina lärjungar och sade: "Vem säger folket Människosonen vara?"
When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
14 De svarade: "Somliga säga Johannes döparen, andra Elias, andra åter Jeremias eller en annan av profeterna."
We answered, “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]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
15 Då frågade han dem: "Vem sägen då I mig vara?"
Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Petrus svarade och sade: "Du är Messias, den levande Gudens Son."
Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
17 Då svarade Jesus och sade till honom: "Salig är du, Simon, Jonas' son; ty kött och blod har icke uppenbarat detta för dig, utan min Fader, som är i himmelen.
Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
18 Så säger ock jag dig att du är Petrus; och på denna klippa skall jag bygga min församling, och dödsrikets portar skola icke bliva henne övermäktiga. (Hadēs g86)
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
19 Jag skall giva dig himmelrikets nycklar: allt vad du binder på jorden, det skall vara bundet i himmelen; och allt vad du löser på jorden, det skall vara löst i himmelen."
[Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
20 Därefter förbjöd han lärjungarna att för någon säga att han var Messias.
Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
21 Från den tiden begynte Jesus förklara för sina lärjungar, att han måste gå till Jerusalem och lida mycket av de äldste och översteprästerna och de skriftlärde, och att han skulle bliva dödad, men att han på tredje dagen skulle uppstå igen.
From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
22 Då tog Petrus honom avsides och begynte ivrigt motsäga honom och sade: "Bevare dig Gud, Herre! Ingalunda får detta vederfaras dig."
[Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
23 Men han vände sig om och sade till Petrus: "Gå bort, Satan, och stå mig icke i vägen; du är för mig en stötesten, ty dina tankar äro icke Guds tankar, utan människotankar."
Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
24 Därefter sade Jesus till sina lärjungar: "Om någon vill efterfölja mig, så försake han sig själv och tage sitt kors på sig: så följe han mig.
Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
25 Ty den som vill bevara sitt liv, han skall mista det; men den som mister sitt liv, för min skull, han skall finna det.
[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 [with God eternally].
26 Och vad hjälper det en människa, om hon vinner hela världen, men förlorar sin själ? Eller vad kan en människa giva till lösen för sin själ?
People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
27 Människosonen skall komma i sin Faders härlighet med sina änglar, och då skall han vedergälla var och en efter hans gärningar.
[Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
28 Sannerligen säger jag eder: Bland dem som här stå finnas några som icke skola smaka döden, förrän de få se Människosonen komma i sitt rike."
Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
