Mark 8
1 During those days, a large crowd of people gathered again. [After they had been there a couple days], they had no food to eat. So Jesus summoned the disciples [to come closer] and then he said to them,
Då vid samma tid åter mycket folk hade kommit tillstädes, och de icke hade något att äta, kallade han sina lärjungar till sig och sade till dem:
2 “This is the third day that these people have been with me, and they have nothing [left] to eat, so now I feel very sorry for them.
"Jag ömkar mig över folket, ty det är redan tre dagar som de hava dröjt kvar hos mig, och de hava intet att äta.
3 Furthermore, if I send them home [while they are still] hungry, [some of] them will faint on the way home, because some of them have come from far away.”
Om jag nu låter dem fastande gå ifrån mig hem, så uppgivas de på vägen; somliga av dem hava ju kommit långväga ifrån."
4 [Knowing that he was suggesting that they give the people something to eat, one of] his disciples replied, “(We cannot possibly find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live!/How can we find food to satisfy this crowd, here in this place where no people live?)” [RHQ]
Då svarade hans lärjungar honom: "Varifrån skall man här i en öken kunna få bröd till att mätta dessa med?"
5 Jesus asked them, “How many loaves of bread do you have?” They replied, “[We have] seven [flat loaves].”
Han frågade dem: "Huru många bröd haven I?" De svarade: "Sju."
6 Jesus commanded the crowd, “Sit down on the ground!” [After they sat down], he took the seven loaves, he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces] and started giving them to his disciples in order that they might distribute them [to the people].
Då tillsade han folket att lägra sig på marken. Ock han tog de sju bröden, tackade Gud och bröt dem och gav åt sina lärjungar, för att de skulle lägga fram dem; och de lade fram åt folket.
7 [They found that] they [also] had a few small [dried] fish. So after he thanked God for these, he told the disciples, “Distribute these also.” [After they distributed the bread and fish to the crowd],
De hade ock några få småfiskar; och när han hade välsignat dessa, bjöd han att man likaledes skulle lägga fram dem.
8 the people ate this food and they had plenty [to] satisfy [them]. [The disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over. [They filled] seven large baskets full of those pieces.
Så åto de och blevo mätta. Och man samlade sedan upp sju korgar med överblivna stycken.
9 [They estimated that] there were about 4,000 people [who ate on that day].
Men antalet av dem som voro tillstädes var vid pass fyra tusen. Sedan lät han dem skiljas åt.
10 Then Jesus dismissed the crowd. Immediately after that, he got into the boat along with his disciples, and they went [around Lake Galilee] to Dalmanutha district.
Och strax därefter steg han i båten med sina lärjungar och for till trakten av Dalmanuta.
11 [In those days some] Pharisees came to Jesus. They asked him [to perform] a miracle [that would show that] God [had sent him]. They wanted to [find a way by which they could] convince the people to reject him. [So] they started to argue with him.
Och fariséerna kommo ditut och begynte disputera med honom; de ville sätta honom på prov och begärde av honom något tecken från himmelen.
12 Jesus sighed quietly to himself, and then he said, “I am disgusted that [RHQ], [even though] you people have seen how I [have healed people], you keep asking me to perform miracles! Note this: Such a miracle will certainly not be shown {I will certainly not show such a miracle} [just] for you people!”
Då suckade han ur sin andes djup och sade: "Varför begär detta släkte ett tecken? Sannerligen säger jag eder: Åt detta släkte skall intet tecken givas."
13 Then he left them. He got into the boat again, along [with his disciples], and they went further around [Lake Galilee].
Så lämnade han dem och steg åter i båten och for över till andra stranden.
14 The disciples had forgotten to bring along [enough] food. Specifically, they had only one flat loaf of bread with them in the boat.
Och de hade förgätit att taga med sig bröd; icke mer än ett enda bröd hade de med sig i båten.
15 [As they were going], Jesus warned them against [the attitudes the Pharisees and Herod Antipas had, attitudes that were having a bad effect on other people. He did this by telling them a parable]. He said, “Be careful! Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and the yeast of Herod!”
Och han bjöd dem och sade: "Sen till, att I tagen eder till vara för fariséernas surdeg och för Herodes' surdeg."
16 [The disciples misunderstood him]. So they said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we have no bread.”
Då talade de med varandra om att de icke hade bröd med sig.
17 Jesus knew [what they were discussing among themselves]. So he said to them, “([I am disappointed that you are] discussing about your not having enough bread!/Why are you discussing about your not having enough bread?) [RHQ] (You should understand by now [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food!/Why do you not yet perceive or understand that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] (You are not thinking!/Why are you not thinking?) [RHQ]
Men när han märkte detta, sade han till dem: "Varför talen I om att I icke haven bröd med eder? Fatten och förstån I då ännu ingenting? Äro edra hjärtan så förstockade?
18 (I am also disappointed that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see!/Why is it that, although you have eyes, you do not [understand what you] see?) [RHQ] You have ears, but you do not understand [what I say] [RHQ]!” [Then he asked], “Do you not remember [what happened]
I haven ju ögon; sen I då icke? I haven ju öron; hören I då icke?
19 when I broke [only] five loaves [and fed] the 5.000 people [RHQ]? [Not only was everyone satisfied, but there was food left over] How many baskets full of pieces of bread [that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “We collected twelve baskets full.”
Och kommen I icke ihåg huru många korgar fulla av stycken I samladen upp, när jag bröt de fem bröden åt de fem tusen?" De svarade honom: "Tolv."
20 Then he asked, “When I broke the seven loaves in order to [feed] the 4,000 people, [again when everyone had plenty to eat], how many large baskets [of pieces of bread that were left over] did you collect?” They replied, “[We collected] seven [large baskets full].”
"Och när jag bröt de sju bröden åt de fyra tusen, huru många korgar fulla av stycken samladen I då upp?" De svarade: "Sju."
21 Then he kept saying to them, “([I am disappointed that] you do not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]!/Why do you not understand yet [that you should never worry that you do not have enough food]?)” [RHQ]
Då sade han till dem: "Förstån I då ännu ingenting?"
22 They arrived [in the boat] at Bethsaida [town]. People brought to Jesus a blind man and earnestly requested that Jesus touch him [in order to heal him].
Därefter kommo de till Betsaida. Och man förde till honom en som var blind och bad honom att han skulle röra vid denne.
23 Jesus took the hand of the blind man, led him outside the town, he put his saliva on the man’s eyes, he put his hands on the man, and then he asked him, “Do you see anything?”
Då tog han den blinde vid handen och ledde honom utanför byn; sedan spottade han på hans ögon och lade händerna på honom och frågade honom: "Ser du något?"
24 The man looked up and then he said, “[Yes], I see people! They are walking around, but I cannot see them [clearly]. They look like trees!”
Han såg då upp och svarade: "Jag kan urskilja människorna; jag ser dem gå omkring, men de likna träd."
25 Then Jesus again touched the eyes of the blind man. The man looked intently and at that moment he was completely healed! He could see everything clearly.
Därefter lade han åter händerna på hans ögon, och nu såg han tydligt och var botad och kunde jämväl på långt håll se allting klart.
26 Jesus said to him, “Do not go into the town! [First go straight home and tell the people there about what I did]!” Then he sent the man to his home.
Och Jesus bjöd honom gå hem och sade: "Gå icke ens in i byn."
27 Jesus and the disciples [left Bethsaida town and went to the villages near Caesarea Philippi town]. On the way he questioned them, “Who do people say that I [really] am?”
Och Jesus gick med sina lärjungar bort till byarna vid Cesarea Filippi. På vägen dit frågade han sina lärjungar och sade till dem: "Vem säger folket mig vara?"
28 They replied, “[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]. And others say that you are one of the [other former] prophets [who has come back to life again].”
De svarade och sade: "Johannes döparen; andra säga dock Elias, andra åter säga: 'Det är en av profeterna.'"
29 He asked them, “What about you? Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied to him, “[We believe that] you are the Messiah!”
Då frågade han dem: "Vem sägen då I mig vara?" Petrus svarade och sade till honom: "Du är Messias."
30 Then Jesus warned them strongly that they should not tell anyone [yet that he was the Messiah].
Då förbjöd han dem strängeligen att för någon säga detta om honom.
31 Then Jesus began to teach them, “[Even though] I am the one who came from heaven, it is necessary that I suffer very much. It is also necessary that I be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws {that the elders, the chief priests, and the men who teach the [Jewish] laws reject me}, and that I be killed {they kill me}. But on the third day [after I am killed I] will become alive again.”
Sedan begynte han undervisa dem om att Människosonen måste lida mycket, och att han skulle bliva förkastad av de äldste och översteprästerna och de skriftlärde, och att han skulle bliva dödad, men att han tre dagar därefter skulle uppstå igen.
32 He said this to them clearly. But Peter took Jesus aside and then, [because he assumed that the Messiah would never die], he started to rebuke Jesus [for talking about dying].
Och han talade detta i oförtäckta ordalag. Då tog Petrus honom avsides och begynte ivrigt motsäga honom.
33 Jesus turned around and looked at his disciples. Then he rebuked Peter, saying, “Stop thinking like that! Satan [is causing you to talk like that! Instead] of wanting what God wants [me to do, you are wanting] me to do [only] what [most] people [would want me to do].”
Men han vände sig om, och när han då såg sina lärjungar, talade han strängt till Petrus och sade: "Gå bort, Satan, och stå mig icke i vägen; ty dina tankar äro icke Guds tankar, utan människotankar."
34 Then he summoned the crowd along with his disciples [so that they might listen to him]. He told them, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want to do. Specifically, you must [be willing to allow people to hurt you and to disgrace you. That is what they do to criminals] who are forced to carry crosses [MET] [to the places where they will be crucified]. That is what anyone who wants to be my disciple must do.
Och han kallade till sig folket jämte sina lärjungar och sade till dem: "Om någon vill efterfölja mig, så försake han sig själv och tage sitt kors på sig; så följe han mig.
35 [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] and [because of telling others my] good message will live [forever with me].
Ty den som vill bevara sitt liv, han skall mista det; men den som mister sitt liv, för min och för evangelii skull, han skall bevara det.
36 People might get everything [they want] in this world, but (they are really gaining nothing if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples!]/what will they gain if they do not get eternal life [because they do not become my disciples]?) [RHQ]
Och vad hjälper det en människa, om hon vinner hela världen, men förlorar sin själ?
37 ([Think carefully about the fact that] there is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life!/Is there anything that a person can give [to God] in order to gain eternal life?) [RHQ]
Och vad kan en människa giva till lösen för sin själ?
38 And think about this: Those who refuse [to say that they belong to] me and who reject what I say in these days when many people have turned away [from God] and are very sinful, I, the one who came from heaven, will also refuse [to say that they belong to me] when I come back with the holy angels and have the glorious brightness that my Father has!”
Den som blyges för mig och för mina ord, i detta trolösa och syndiga släkte, för honom skall ock Människosonen blygas, när han kommer i sin Faders härlighet med de heliga änglarna."
