Mark 9
1 He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
Ytterligare sade han till dem: "Sannerligen säger jag eder: Bland dem som här stå finnas några som icke skola smaka döden, förrän de få se Guds rike vara kommet i sin kraft."
2 A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
Sex dagar därefter tog Jesus med sig Petrus och Jakob och Johannes och förde dem ensamma upp på ett högt berg, där de voro allena. Och hans utseende förvandlades inför dem;
3 His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
och hans kläder blevo glänsande och mycket vita, så att ingen valkare på jorden kan göra kläder så vita.
4 [Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
Och för dem visade sig Elias jämte Moses, och dessa samtalade med Jesus.
5 [After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
Då tog Petrus till orda och sade till Jesus: "Rabbi, här är oss gott att vara; låt oss göra tre hyddor, åt dig en och åt Moses en och åt Elias en."
6 [He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
Han visste nämligen icke vad han skulle säga; så stor var deras förskräckelse.
7 Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
Då kom en sky som överskyggde dem, och ur skyn kom en röst: "Denne är min älskade Son; hören honom."
8 When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
Och plötsligt märkte de, när de sågo sig omkring, att där icke mer fanns någon hos dem utom Jesus allena.
9 While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
Då de sedan gingo ned från berget, bjöd han dem att de icke, förrän Människosonen hade uppstått från de döda, skulle för någon omtala vad de hade sett.
10 So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
Och de lade märke till det ordet och begynte tala med varandra om vad som kunde menas med att han skulle uppstå från de döda.
11 [The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
Och de frågade honom och sade: "De skriftlärde säga ju att Elias först måste komma?"
12 [Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
Han svarade dem: "Elias måste visserligen först komma och upprätta allt igen. Men huru kan det då vara skrivet om Människosonen att han skall lida mycket och bliva föraktad?
Dock, jag säger eder att Elias redan har kommit; och de förforo mot honom alldeles såsom de ville, och såsom det var skrivet att det skulle gå honom."
14 [Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
När de därefter kommo till lärjungarna, sågo de att mycket folk var samlat omkring dem, och att några skriftlärde disputerade med dem.
15 As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
Och strax då allt folket fick se honom, blevo de mycket häpna och skyndade fram och hälsade honom.
16 He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
Då frågade han dem: "Varom disputeren I med dem?"
17 A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
Och en man i folkhopen svarade honom: "Mästare, jag har fört till dig min son, som är besatt av en stum ande.
18 Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
Och varhelst denne får fatt i honom kastar han omkull honom, och fradgan står gossen om munnen, och han gnisslar med tänderna och bliver såsom livlös. Nu bad jag dina lärjungar att de skulle driva ut honom, men de förmådde det icke."
19 Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
Då svarade han dem och sade: "O du otrogna släkte, huru länge måste jag vara hos eder? Huru länge måste jag härda ut med eder? Fören honom till mig."
20 So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
Och de förde honom till Jesus. Och strax då han fick se Jesus, slet och ryckte anden honom, och han föll ned på jorden och vältrade sig, under det att fradgan stod honom om munnen.
21 Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
Jesus frågade då hans fader: "Huru länge har det varit så med honom?" Han svarade: "Alltsedan han var ett litet barn;
22 [The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
och det har ofta hänt att han har kastat honom än i elden, än i vattnet, för att förgöra honom. Men om du förmår något, så förbarma dig över oss och hjälp oss."
23 Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
Då sade Jesus till honom: "Om jag förmår, säger du. Allt förmår den som tror."
24 Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
Strax ropade gossens fader och sade: "Jag tror! Hjälp min otro."
25 Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
Men när Jesus såg att folk strömmade tillsammans dit, tilltalade han den orene anden strängt och sade till honom: "Du stumme och döve ande, jag befaller dig: Far ut ur honom, och kom icke mer in i honom."
26 The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
Då skriade han och slet och ryckte gossen svårt och for ut; och gossen blev såsom död, så att folket menade att han verkligen var död.
27 However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
Men Jesus tog honom vid handen och reste upp honom; och han stod då upp.
28 Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
När Jesus därefter hade kommit inomhus, frågade hans lärjungar honom, då de nu voro allena: "Varför kunde icke vi driva ut honom?"
29 He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
Han svarade dem: "Detta slag kan icke drivas ut genom något annat än bön och fasta."
30 After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
Och de gingo därifrån och vandrade genom Galileen; men han ville icke att någon skulle få veta det.
31 [anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
Han undervisade nämligen sina lärjungar och sade till dem: "Människosonen skall bliva överlämnad i människors händer, och man skall döda honom; men tre dagar efter det att han har blivit dödad skall han uppstå igen."
32 But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
Och de förstodo icke vad han sade, men de fruktade att fråga honom.
33 Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
Och de kommo till Kapernaum. Och när han hade kommit dit där han bodde, frågade han dem: "Vad var det I samtaladen om på vägen?"
34 But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
Men de tego, ty de hade på vägen talat med varandra om vilken som vore störst.
35 He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
Då satte han sig ned och kallade till sig de tolv och sade till dem: "Om någon vill vara den förste, så vare han den siste av alla och allas tjänare."
36 Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
Och han tog ett barn och ställde det mitt ibland dem; sedan tog han det upp i famnen och sade till dem:
37 “Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
"Den som tager emot ett sådant barn i mitt namn, han tager emot mig, och den som tager emot mig, han tager icke emot mig, utan honom som har sänt mig."
38 John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
Johannes sade till honom: "Mästare, vi sågo huru en man som icke följer oss drev ut onda andar genom ditt namn; och vi ville hindra honom, eftersom han icke följde oss."
39 Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
Men Jesus sade: "Hindren honom icke; ty ingen som genom mitt namn har gjort en kraftgärning kan strax därefter tala illa om mig.
40 Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
Ty den som icke är emot oss, han är för oss.
41 Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
Ja, den som giver eder en bägare vatten att dricka, därför att I hören Kristus till -- sannerligen säger jag eder: Han skall ingalunda gå miste om sin lön.
42 [Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
Och den som förför en av dessa små som tro, för honom vore det bättre, om en kvarnsten hängdes om hans hals och han kastades i havet.
43 [So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
Om nu din hand är dig till förförelse, så hugg av den. Det är bättre för dig att ingå i livet lytt, än att hava båda händerna i behåll och komma till Gehenna, till den eld som icke utsläckes. (Geenna g1067)
45 If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
Och om din fot är dig till förförelse, så hugg av den. Det är bättre för dig att ingå i livet halt, än att hava båda fötterna i behåll och kastas i Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
47 If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Och om ditt öga är dig till förförelse, så riv ut det. Det är bättre för dig att ingå i Guds rike enögd, än att hava båda ögonen i behåll och kastas i Gehenna, (Geenna g1067)
48 In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
där 'deras mask icke dör och elden icke utsläckes'.
49 “[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
Ty var människa måste saltas med eld.
50 Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
Saltet är en god sak; men om saltet mister sin sälta, varmed skolen I då återställa dess kraft? -- Haven salt i eder och hållen frid inbördes."
