Luke 13
1 Some people who were [listening to Jesus] at that time told him about some people from Galilee [district who had gone to Jerusalem]. Pilate, [the Roman governor], had [ordered soldiers to] kill them [MTY] while they were offering sacrifices [in the Temple there].
På same tidi kom det nokre og fortalde honom dei galilæarane som Pilatus drap med dei bar fram offeret sitt, so blodet deira blanda seg med offerblodet.
2 Jesus replied to them, “Do you think [that this happened to those] people from Galilee [because] they were more sinful than all the other people from Galilee?
Då tok han til ords og sagde til deim: «Trur de desse galilæarane var større syndarar enn alle andre galilæarar, sidan det gjekk deim soleis?
3 I assure you, [that was] not [so]! But instead of [being concerned about them, you need to remember that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not turn away from your sinful behavior.
Nei, segjer eg dykk, men vender de ikkje um, skal de alle umkomast på sovori vis.
4 Or, [consider] the 18 people who died when the tower at Siloam [outside Jerusalem] fell on them. Do you think [that this happened to them because] they were more sinful than all the other people who lived in Jerusalem?
Eller dei attan som Siloatårnet datt nedyver og slo i hel, trur de dei var verre brotsmenner enn alt hitt folket som bur i Jerusalem?
5 I assure you, [that was] not so! But instead, you [need to realize that God] will similarly punish you [eternally] if you do not stop your sinful behavior!”
Nei, segjer eg dykk, men vender de ikkje um, skal de alle umkomast på same vis.»
6 Then Jesus told them this illustration [to show what God would do to the Jews, whom he continually blessed, but who did not do things that please him]: “A man planted a fig tree on his farmland. ([Each year/Many times]) he came to it looking for figs, but there were no figs.
So sagde han denne likningi: «Ein mann hadde eit fiketre, som stod i vingarden hans. Han kom og leita etter frukt på det, men fann ingi.
7 Then he said to the gardener, ‘Look [here]! I have been looking for fruit on this fig tree every year for the past three years, but there have been no figs. Cut it down! (It is just using up the nutrients in the soil for nothing!/Why should it continue using up the [nutrients in] the soil [for nothing]?) [RHQ]’
Då sagde han til vingardsmannen: «No er det tridje året eg kjem og leitar etter frukt på dette fiketreet og finn ingi. Hogg det ned! Kvi skal det og binda burt jordi?»
8 But the gardener replied to the owner, ‘Sir, leave it here for another year. I will dig around it and put manure around it.
«Herre, lat det få standa i år og!» svara vingardsmannen, «til eg fær grave kring det og lagt hævd innåt;
9 If it bears fruit next year, we [(inc)] will allow it to keep growing. If it does not bear fruit next year, you [(sg)] can cut it down.’”
kann henda det ber eit anna år; gjer det’kje det, so fær du hogga det ned!»»
10 One (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest), [Jesus] was teaching people in one of the Jewish meeting places.
Ein kviledag lærde Jesus i ei av synagogorne.
11 There was a woman there whom an evil spirit [MTY] had crippled for 18 years. She was always bent over; she could not stand up straight.
Der var det ei kvinna som hadde havt ei vond ånd i seg i attan år, og den hadde gjort henne so magtlaus at ho var tvikrokut og ikkje på nokor vis kunde halda seg upprett.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her over to him. He said to her, “Woman, [I am] freeing you [(sg)] from your illness!”
Då Jesus fekk sjå henne, kalla han henne til seg. «No er du løyst frå vanmagti di, kvinna!» sagde han
13 He put his hands on her. Immediately she stood up straight, and she praised God!
og lagde henderne på henne; og med ein gong rette ho seg upp, og lova Gud.
14 But the man in charge (of the synagogue/of the meeting place) was angry because Jesus had healed her (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day). [He considered that healing was doing work]. So he said to the people, “There are six days [each week] in which [our Jewish] laws permit people to work. [If you need healing], those are the days to come ([to the synagogue/to the meeting place]) and be healed. Do not come on our Jewish day of rest!”
Då tok synagoge-forstandaren til ords - han var harm for di Jesus hadde lækt på kviledagen - og sagde til folket: «Det er seks dagar ein lyt arbeida; på deim kann de koma og lata dykk lækja, og ikkje på kviledagen!»
15 Then the Lord replied to him, “You [(sg) and your fellow religious leaders are] hypocrites! (On the Sabbath/On our Jewish day of rest), [just like on every other day], (each of you unties his ox or donkey, and then leads it from the food trough to where it can drink water./does not each of you untie his ox or donkey, and then lead it from the food trough to where it can drink water?) [RHQ] [That is work, too]!
«Hyklarar!» svara Herren honom då, «løyser ikkje kvar ein av dykk uksen og asnet sitt av båsen um kviledagen, og leider deim av og vatnar deim?
16 This woman [is more important than an animal; she is a Jew], descended from Abraham! But Satan has [kept her] [MET] [crippled] for 18 years, [as though] he had tied her up [and not let her escape]! So (it is certainly right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Sabbath day!/was it not right that she be freed {that [I] free her}, [even if this] is a Jewish rest day?) [RHQ]”
Og denne kvinna, som er Abrahams dotter, og som Satan hev halde bundi, tenkje seg til, i attan år, skulde ikkje ho løysast or det bandet, for di um det er kviledag?»
17 After Jesus said that, all the people [there] who opposed him were ashamed. But all the [other] people [there] were happy about all the wonderful things he was doing.
Då han sagde det, skjemdest alle dei som stod honom imot, og heile folket gledde seg yver alt det underfulle han gjorde.
18 Then Jesus said, “(I will tell you how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]./Do you know how [the number of people who let] God rule [MET] [their lives will increase]?) [RHQ] I will tell you what I can compare it to.
So sagde han då: «Kva er Guds rike likt? kva skal eg likna det med?
19 It is like a [tiny] mustard seed that a man planted in his field. It grew until it became [big, like] a tree. It was [so big that] birds built nests in its branches.”
Det er likt eit senapskorn som ein mann tok og sådde i hagen sin, og det voks og vart til eit tre, og fuglarne i lufti bygde reir i greinerne på det.»
20 Then he said, “I will tell [RHQ] you something else, to illustrate how the people who let God rule [MET] [their lives can influence their society more and more].
So sagde han atter: «Kva skal eg likna Guds rike med?
21 It is like [a little bit of] yeast that a woman mixed with about 50 pounds of flour. [That small amount of yeast made] the whole batch of dough swell up.”
Det er likt ein surdeig som ei kvinna tok og gøymde i tri skjeppor mjøl til alt saman var syrt.»
22 [Jesus] continued traveling, along [with his disciples], through various towns and villages on the way to Jerusalem. As they went, he was teaching [the people].
So for han kring frå by til by og frå grend til grend og lærde folket, alt med han var på veg til Jerusalem.
23 Someone asked him, “Lord, will there be only a few people who are saved {whom [God] saves}?” He replied to them, “[There will not be many, because] the way [to heaven] [MET] is [like] a narrow door.
Det var ein som sagde til honom: «Herre, er det få som vert frelste?» Då sagde han til deim:
24 [Therefore, try hard] to enter that narrow doorway, because I tell you that many people will try to enter [heaven by some other way], but they will not be able to get in.
«Stræva alt de kann for å koma inn igjenom den tronge døri! Mange, segjer eg dykk, skal freista å koma inn, men er ikkje god til.
25 [God is like] the owner of a house. [Some day] he will lock his door. Then [some of] you will begin to stand outside that door and knock. You will say, ‘Lord, open the door for us!’ But he will reply, ‘[No, I will not open it, because] I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from!’
Når husbonden fyrst hev reist seg og stengt døri, og de so gjev dykk til å standa utanfor og banka på døri og segja: «Herre, lat upp åt oss!» då skal han svara dykk so: «Eg veit ikkje kvar de er ifrå.»
26 Then you will say, ‘([You must have forgotten!/Surely you know us, because]) [RHQ] we [(exc)] ate [meals] with you [(sg)], and you taught [people] in the streets of our [towns]’!
Tek de då på å segja som so: «Me hev ete og drukke i lag med deg, og du lærde i gatorne våre, »
27 But he will say, ‘[I tell you again], I do not know you, and I do not know where you are from. You [are] wicked people! Get away from here!’”
so skal han svara: «Eg segjer dykk: Eg veit ikkje kvar de er ifrå. Hav dykk burt frå meg, alle de som gjorde urett!»
28 Then Jesus continued, saying, “[From where God will send you], you will see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the distance. All the prophets [who lived long ago will also be there], in the kingdom where God [is ruling]. But you will be outside, crying and grinding your teeth [because you will have severe pain]!
Der skal det vera gråt og tanngnistring, når de fær sjå Abraham og Isak og Jakob og alle profetarne i Guds rike, men de sjølve vert kasta ut.
29 Furthermore, many [non-Jewish] people will [be inside]. There will be ones who have come from [lands to] the north, east, south, and west. They will be feasting in (that place where God is ruling/God’s kingdom).
Og det skal koma folk frå aust og frå vest og frå nord og frå sud og setja seg til bords i Guds rike.
30 Think about this: Some people whom others do not [consider] important [now, God will make] them very important [then], and some people whom [others consider] very important [now, God will make] to be not important [then].”
Men kom i hug at det finst dei som er millom dei siste, og skal vera millom dei fyrste, og det finst dei som er millom dei fyrste og skal vera millom dei siste.»
31 At that very time, some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, “Leave this area, because [the ruler] Herod [Antipas] wants to kill you [(sg)]!”
I same bilet kom det nokre farisæarar og sagde med honom: «Tak ut og far herifrå! Herodes tenkjer på å drepa deg.»
32 He replied to them, “Herod is [MET] [as cruel as] a fox, [but also as insignificant as a fox]. [So I do not worry about him]. But [to show him that no one can harm me until it is the time and place God has determined], go tell him this [message from me]: ‘Listen! I am expelling demons and performing miracles today, and [I will continue doing] it for a short time. After that, I will finish my work.
Han svara: «Gakk og seg den reven: «I dag og i morgon driv eg ut djevlar og gjer sjuke friske att; tridje dagen er eg til endes komen;
33 But I must continue my trip [to Jerusalem] during the coming days, because [they killed many other] prophets there, and [since I am also a prophet], no other place is appropriate for people to kill [me].’”
men i dag og i morgon og dagen etter lyt eg ferdast; for det ber aldri til at ein profet let livet annanstad enn i Jerusalem.»
34 [Then Jesus said], “O [people of] [MTY] Jerusalem [APO]! You killed the prophets [who lived long ago, and you killed others], whom [God] sent to you, [by throwing] stones [at them]. Many times I wanted to gather you together [to protect you] [SIM] like a hen gathers her young chicks under her wings. But you did not want [me to do that].
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, du som slær i hel profetarne og steinar deim som er sende til deg, kor ofte vilde eg’kje ha samla borni dine kring meg, liksom fuglemori samlar ungeflokken under vengjerne! Men de vilde ikkje.
35 So listen to this: Your city [MTY] (OR, your temple) is going to be abandoned (OR, God will no longer protect it). I will [MTY] also tell you this: I [will enter your city only once more. After that], you will not see me until the time when [I return and] you say [about me], ‘God is truly pleased with this man who comes with God’s authority [MTY]!’”
Sjå no skal de få hava huset dykkar sjølve. Eg segjer dykk: De fær aldri sjå meg fyrr den tidi kjem då de ropar: «Velsigna vere han som kjem i Herrens namn!»»
