Mark 13
1 While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
Då han gjekk ut or templet, sagde ein av læresveinarne til honom: «Meister, sjå for steinar og for bygningar!»
2 Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
«Ja, ser du desse store bygningarne!» svara Jesus. «Her ligg ikkje stein på stein som ikkje skal rivast laus.»
3 After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
Sidan, då han sat på Oljeberget midt imot templet, og det ikkje var nokon innmed, kom Peter og Jakob og Johannes og Andreas og spurde honom:
4 “Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
«Seg oss: Når skal dette henda, og kva er teiknet me fær når alt dette er åt og skal koma?»
5 Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
Då tok Jesus soleis til ords: «Sjå dykk fyre, so ingen forvillar dykk!
6 Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
Mange skal taka mitt namn og segja: «Det er eg!» og føra mange på avveg.
7 Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
Men når de høyrer um ufred og tidend um ufred, so vert ikkje rædde! Dette lyt henda; men enden kjem ikkje endå.
8 [Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
Folk skal reisa seg imot folk, og rike mot rike; det skal vera jordskjelv kring i landi, det skal vera uår og upprør. Det er det fyrste av føderiderne.
9 Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
Men sjå dykk fyre! Dei kjem til å draga dykk for domstolarne og piska dykk i synagogorne, og for landshovdingar og kongar skal de førast fram for mi skuld, so de kann vitna for deim.
10 My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
Og fyrst lyt evangeliet berast ut til alle folkeslag.
11 And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
Men når dei fører dykk burt og gjev dykk yver til retten, so syt ikkje for kva de skal tala! Det som vert gjeve dykk i same stundi, det skal de tala; for det er ikkje de som talar, men den Heilage Ande.
12 [Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
Bror skal senda bror i dauden, og faren barnet sitt, og born skal standa fram mot foreldri sine, og valda at dei lyt døy.
13 [In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
Og alle skal hata dykk for mitt namn skuld; men den som held ut til endes, han skal verta frelst.
14 [During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
Men når de ser at den øydande styggedomen stend der han ikkje skulde» - agte vel på dette, du som les! - «då lyt dei som er i Judaland røma til fjells;
15 Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
den som er uppå taket, må ikkje stiga ned, og ikkje ganga inn og henta noko i huset sitt,
16 Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
og den som er utpå marki, må ikkje ganga heim etter kjolen sin!
17 But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
Stakkars deim som gjeng med barn eller gjev brjost i dei dagarne!
18 In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
Men bed at dette ikkje må henda um vinteren!
For den tidi skal vera so hard at det aldri hev vore so hard ei tid frå upphavet åt skaparverket som Gud hev gjort, og til no, og vert ikkje sidan heller.
20 If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
Og gjorde’kje Herren den tidi stutt, so vart’kje eit liv berga; men for deira skuld som han valde seg ut, hev han gjort den tidi stutt.
21 [At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
Um nokon då segjer med dykk: «Sjå her er Messias - Sjå der!» so må de ikkje tru det!
For falske Messias’ar skal standa fram, og falske profetar, og gjera teikn og under for å forvilla dei utvalde, um det er råd.
23 Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
So sjå dykk fyre! Eg hev sagt dykk alt fyreåt.
24 After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
Men i dei dagarne, etter denne harde tidi, skal soli myrkjast, og månen missa sitt ljos;
25 the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
stjernorne skal falla ned frå himmelen, og himmelkrafterne skakast.
26 Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
Då skal dei sjå Menneskjesonen koma i skyi med stort velde og herlegdom,
27 Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
og då skal han senda ut englarne, og samla dei utvalde frå heimsens fire hyrno, frå ytste enden av jordi til ytste enden av himmelen.
28 Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
Lær ei likning av fiketreet: Når sevja hev kome i greinerne, og lauvet sprett, då veit de at sumaren er nær.
29 Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
Like eins når de ser dette hender, då veit de at han er utfor døri.
30 Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
Det segjer eg dykk for visst: Denne ætti skal ikkje forgangast fyrr alt dette hev hendt.
31 You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
Himmel og jord skal forgangast; men mine ord skal ikkje forgangast.
32 But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
Men den dagen og timen veit ingen, ikkje englarne i himmelen, og ikkje Sonen - ingen utan Faderen.
33 So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
Sjå dykk fyre, og vak! For de veit ikkje når tidi kjem.
34 When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
Det er liksom med ein mann som drog utanlands. Då han for heimantil, sette han sveinarne sine til å styra for seg. Kvar fekk sitt å gjera, og til portnaren sagde han at han laut vaka.
35 [That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
So vak då! For de veit’kje når husbonden kjem - um kvelden, eller midnattsbil, eller i otta, eller i dagrenningi.
36 [May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
Lat honom ikkje finna dykk sovande, um han skulde koma uventande på dykk!
37 These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
Men det eg segjer dykk, det segjer eg alle: Ver vakne!»
