Mark 7
1 [One day some] Pharisees and some men who teach the [Jewish] laws gathered around Jesus. They had come from Jerusalem [to investigate him].
Och fariséerna, så ock några skriftlärde som hade kommit från Jerusalem, församlade sig omkring honom;
2 The Pharisees and all of the [other] Jews [strictly] observe the traditions that their ancestors [taught. For example, they refuse to] eat until they first wash their hands [with a special ritual], especially after they [return] from [buying things in] the marketplace. [They think that God will be angry with them if they do not do that, because some person or thing unacceptable to God might have touched] ([them/the things they bought]). There are many other such [traditions] that they accept and try to obey. Specifically, they wash [in a special way] their cups, pots, kettles, containers, and beds [in order that using these things will not make God reject them].
och de fingo då se några av hans lärjungar äta med »orena», det är otvagna, händer.
Nu är det så med fariséerna och alla andra judar, att de icke äta något utan att förut, till åtlydnad av de äldstes stadgar, noga hava tvagit sina händer,
likasom de icke heller, när de komma från torget, äta något utan att förut hava tvagit sig; många andra stadgar finnas ock, som de av ålder pläga hålla, såsom att skölja bägare och träkannor och kopparskålar.
5 That day, those Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws saw that some of his disciples were eating food with hands that they had not washed [using the special ritual]. So they questioned Jesus, saying, “[Your] disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors! (You should not [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]!/Why do you [let them] eat food if they have not washed their hands [using our special ritual]?) [RHQ]”
Därför frågade honom nu fariséerna och de skriftlärde: »Varför vandra icke dina lärjungar efter de äldstes stadgar, utan äta med orena händer?»
6 Jesus said to them, “Isaiah [rebuked your ancestors], and his words describe very well you people who only pretend to be good! He wrote these words [that God said]: These people speak [as if they] honor me, but they [SYN] really do not think about honoring me at all.
Men han svarade dem: »Rätt profeterade Esaias om eder, I skrymtare, såsom det är skrivet: 'Detta folk ärar mig med sina läppar, men deras hjärtan äro långt ifrån mig;
7 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach only what people have commanded [as if I myself had commanded them].
och fåfängt dyrka de mig, eftersom de läror de förkunna äro människobud.'
8 You, [like your ancestors], refuse [to do] what God has commanded. Instead, you follow only the traditions that (others/your ancestors) have [taught].”
I sätten Guds bud å sido och hållen människors stadgar.»
9 Jesus also said to them, “[You think] [IRO] that you are clever in refusing to do what God commanded just so that you can obey your own traditions!
Ytterligare sade han till dem: »Rätt så; I upphäven Guds bud för att hålla edra egna stadgar!
10 [For example, our ancestor] Moses [wrote God’s] command, ‘Honor your fathers and your mothers’. He also wrote, ‘[The authorities must] execute a person who speaks evil about his father or mother.’
Moses har ju sagt: 'Hedra din fader och din moder' och 'Den som smädar sin fader eller sin moder, han skall döden dö.'
11 But you [teach people that it is all right that people no longer must help their parents. You teach people that it is all right if people] give their things to God [instead of giving them to their parents]. You allow them to say to their parents, ‘What I was going to give to you [to provide for you, I have now promised to] give to God. So I [cannot any longer help you]!’ As a result, you are [actually telling people] that they no longer have to help their parents!
Men I sägen: om en son säger till sin fader eller sin moder: 'Vad du av mig kunde hava fått till hjälp, det giver jag i stället såsom korban' (det betyder offergåva),
då kunnen I icke tillstädja honom att vidare göra något för sin fader eller sin moder.
13 And, by doing that, you disregard what God commanded! You teach your own traditions to others [and tell them strongly that they should obey them] And you do many other things like that.”
På detta sätt gören I Guds budord om intet genom edra fäderneärvda stadgar. Och mycket annat sådant gören I.»
14 Then Jesus again summoned the crowd [to come closer. Then] he said to them [figuratively], “All of you people listen to me! [Try to] understand [DOU] [what I am about to tell you].
Därefter kallade han åter folket till sig och sade till dem: »Hören mig alla och förstån.
15 Nothing that people eat causes [God to] consider them to be unacceptable. On the contrary, it is that which comes from people’s (inner beings/hearts) that causes God to reject them.”
Intet som utifrån går in i människan kan orena henne, men vad som går ut ifrån människan, detta är det som orenar henne.»
17 After Jesus had left the crowd and then entered a house with the disciples, they asked him about the parable [that he had just spoken].
När han sedan hade lämnat folket och kommit inomhus, frågade hans lärjungar honom om detta bildliga tal.
18 He replied, “([I am disappointed that] you also do not understand [what it means]!/Why can you not understand [what it means]?) [RHQ] (You ought to understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him./Can you not understand that nothing that [enters us from] outside of us can cause [God to] consider us unacceptable to him?) [RHQ]
Han svarade dem: »Ären då också I så utan förstånd? Insen I icke att intet som utifrån går in i människan kan orena henne,
19 Instead of entering [and ruining] our minds/souls, it goes into our stomachs, and afterwards the refuse passes out [of our bodies].” By saying this, Jesus was declaring that people [can eat] any food without causing [God] to reject them.
eftersom det icke går in i hennes hjärta, utan ned i buken, och har sin naturliga utgång?» Härmed förklarade han all mat för ren.
20 He also said, “It is the [thoughts and actions] that come from within people that cause [God] to consider them unacceptable to him.
Och han tillade: »Vad som går ut ifrån människan, detta är det som orenar människan.
21 Specifically, it is people’s innermost being [that causes them to] think things that are evil; they act immorally, they steal [things], they commit murder.
Ty inifrån, från människornas hjärtan, utgå deras onda tankar, otukt, tjuveri, mord,
22 They [commit] adultery, they are greedy, they [act] maliciously, they deceive [people]. They [act] indecently, they envy [people], they speak evil about others, they are proud, and they [act] foolishly.
äktenskapsbrott, girighet, ondska, svek, lösaktighet, avund, hädelse, övermod, oförsynt väsende.
23 People think [these thoughts] and then they do these evil actions, and that is what causes [God to] consider them unacceptable to him.”
Allt detta onda går inifrån ut, och det orenar människan.»
24 After Jesus [and his disciples] left [Galilee district], they went to the region around Tyre. While he stayed at a certain house, he desired that no one know [it], but people soon found out [that he was there].
Och han stod upp och begav sig bort därifrån till Tyrus' område. Där gick han in i ett hus och ville icke att någon skulle få veta det. Dock kunde han icke förbliva obemärkt,
25 A certain woman, whose daughter had an evil spirit [within her], heard about Jesus. At once she came to him and prostrated herself at his feet.
utan en kvinna, vilkens dotter var besatt av en oren ande, kom, strax då hon hade fått höra om honom, och föll ned för hans fötter;
26 This woman [was not a Jew. Her ancestors came] from Greece [country], but she was born in [the region around] Phoenicia [town] in Syria district. She pleaded with Jesus that he expel the evil spirit from her daughter.
det var en grekisk kvinna av syrofenicisk härkomst. Och hon bad honom att han skulle driva ut den onde anden ur hennes dotter.
27 But he [wanted to see how strongly she believed in him. So, suggesting that he should help the Jews first and not the non-Jews whom some Jews called dogs] [MET], [he] spoke to her saying, “First let the children eat all they want, because it is not good for someone to take the food [the mother has prepared] for the children and then throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Men han sade till henne: »Låt barnen först bliva mättade; det är ju otillbörligt att taga brödet från barnen och kasta det åt hundarna.»
28 But [to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God] [MET], she replied to him, “Sir, [what you say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs, which lie under the table, eat the crumbs that the children [drop].”
Hon svarade och sade till honom: »Ja, Herre; också äta hundarna under bordet allenast av barnens smulor.»
29 [Jesus] said to her, “Because of what you have said, [you have shown me that you believe in what I can do for you]. So I will help you. Now you may go [home, because I have caused] the evil spirit to leave your daughter.”
Då sade han till henne: »För det ordets skull säger jag dig: Gå; den onde anden har farit ut ur din dotter.»
30 The woman returned to her house and saw that her child was lying [quietly] on the bed and that the evil spirit had left.
Och när hon kom hem, fann hon flickan ligga på sängen och såg att den onde anden hade farit ut.
31 Jesus [and his disciples] left the region around Tyre [city] and went [north] through Sidon [city], then [toward the east] through the district of the Ten Towns, and then [south] to [the towns near] Lake Galilee.
Sedan begav han sig åter bort ifrån Tyrus' område och tog vägen över Sidon och kom, genom Dekapolis' område, till Galileiska sjön.
32 [There], people brought to him a man who was deaf and who could hardly talk. They begged [Jesus] to lay his hands on him [in order to heal him].
Och man förde till honom en som var döv och nästan stum och bad honom att lägga handen på denne.
33 [So Jesus] took him away from the crowd [in order that the two of them could be] alone. Then he put [one of] his fingers into [each of] the man’s ears. After he spat [on his fingers], he touched the man’s tongue [with his fingers].
Då tog han honom avsides ifrån folket och satte sina fingrar i hans öron och spottade och rörde vid hans tunga
34 Then he looked up toward heaven, he sighed [because he was concerned for the man], and then [in his own language] he said to the man’s [ears], “Ephphatha”, which means, “Be opened {Open up}!”.
och såg upp till himmelen, suckade och sade till honom: »Effata» (det betyder: »Upplåt dig»).
35 At once the man could hear plainly [MTY]. He also began to speak clearly because [what was causing him to be unable to speak] was healed {Jesus healed [what was causing him to be unable to speak]}.
Då öppnades hans öron, och hans tungas band löstes, och han talade redigt och klart.
36 Jesus told ([the people/his friends]) not to tell anyone [what he had done]. But, although he ordered them [and others] repeatedly [not to tell anyone about it], they kept talking about it very much.
Och Jesus förbjöd dem att omtala detta för någon; men ju mer han förbjöd dem, dess mer förkunnade de det.
37 [People who heard about it] were utterly amazed and were saying [enthusiastically], “Everything he has done is wonderful! [Besides doing other amazing things], he enables deaf people to hear! And he enables those who cannot speak to speak!”
Och folket häpnade övermåttan och sade: »Allt har han väl beställt: de döva låter han höra och de stumma tala.» Se Nya testamentets text i Ordförklaringarna.
