Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
So kom det nokre farisæarar og skriftlærde til Jesus frå Jerusalem og sagde:
2 “(We think it is disgusting that your disciples disobey the traditions of our ancestors!/Why do your disciples disobey [what our ancestors wrote down and] our [elders taught us]?) [RHQ] They do not perform the proper ritual of washing their hands before they eat!”
«Kvi bryt læresveinarne dine dei skikkarne me hev etter dei gamle? dei tvær ikkje henderne fyrr dei gjeng til bords!»
3 Jesus answered them, “(What is really disgusting is that you refuse to obey God’s commands [just] so that you can follow what your ancestors taught you!/Why do you refuse to obey what God commanded [people to do, just] so that you can follow your own traditions?) [RHQ]
«Og de, » svara han, «kvi bryt de Guds bod for skikkarne dykkar skuld?
4 God gave these [two] commands: ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘People who speak evil about their father or mother must be executed.’
Gud hev sagt: «Du skal æra far din og mor di!» og: «Den som bannar far sin eller mor si, skal døy!»
5 But you tell people, ‘You can say to your father or mother, “What I was going to give to you [to help provide for you], [I have now promised] to give [to God].”’
Men de segjer: «Når ein talar so til far sin eller mor si: «Det som eg kunde ha hjelpt deg med, lyt eg gjeva til templet, » so tarv han ikkje æra foreldri sine.»
6 And if you do that, you think that you do not need to give anything to help your parents. In [that way], [by teaching people] your traditions, you disregard what God commanded.
Soleis hev de gjort Guds bod um inkje for dykkar eigi læra skuld.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
De hyklarar! Jesaja spådde sant um dykk då han sagde:
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
«Med lipporn’ lovar dei meg, denne lyden, men hugen deira er langt ifrå meg.
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
D’er liten mun i at dei meg vil æra, når dei lærer folk det som er mannebod.»»
10 Then Jesus [again] summoned the crowd to come [nearer] to him. Then he said to them, “Listen to [what I am about to tell you], and [try to] understand it.
So kalla han folket hitåt seg og sagde til deim: «Høyr etter, og tenk på det eg segjer!»
11 Nothing that a person puts into his mouth [to eat] causes [God to consider] that person to be unacceptable. Instead, it is [the words] that come out of people’s mouths [SYN] that cause [God to reject them].”
Det er’kje det som kjem inn i munnen som gjer menneskja urein, men det som gjeng ut or munnen, det er det som gjer menneskja urein!
12 Later we disciples went to Jesus and said, “Do you know that the Pharisees heard what you said, and as a result they felt offended [RHQ]?”
Då gjekk læresveinarne fram og sagde til honom: «Veit du at farisæarane vart arge då dei høyrde det du sagde?»
13 Then, [to teach us what God would do to the Pharisees], Jesus told [us this parable]: “My Father in heaven [will] get rid of all [those who teach things that are contrary to his truth, just like a farmer] gets rid of plants that he did not plant, by pulling them up along with their roots [MET].
Han svara: «Kvar plante som ikkje far min i himmelen hev sett, skal rivast upp med rot.
14 Do not pay any attention to [the Pharisees]. They [do not help people who do not know God’s truth] to [understand it, just like] blind guides [do not help] blind [people to perceive where they should go] [MET]. If a blind person [tries to] lead [another] blind person, they will both fall into a big hole [MET]. [Similarly, both the Pharisees and their disciples will end up in hell].” (questioned)
Bry dykk ikkje um deim! Dei er blinde vegleidarar for blinde; og når ein blind leider ein blind, so dett dei båe i grefti.»
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Då tok Peter til ords og sagde til honom: «Tyd oss den likningi di!»
16 He replied [to them], “(I am disappointed that even you, [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand!/Why is it that even you [who should understand what I teach], still do not understand?) [RHQ]
«Hev de endå ikkje betre vit, de heller?» svara han.
17 (You ought to understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs, and later the refuse passes out of their [bodies]./Cannot you understand that all [food that people] eat enters their stomachs and later the refuse passes out [of their bodies]?) [RHQ] [Because food does not alter what we think and desire, what we eat does not cause God to consider that we are unacceptable to him].
«Skynar de ikkje at alt det som kjem inn i munnen, gjeng ned i magen, og fer ut der det skal?
18 [You should know that] what comes out of [people’s] mouths, [meaning everything that they say] [SYN], comes from their inner beings/hearts. Many of the [things that they say] cause [God to consider] them to be unacceptable [to him].
Men det som gjeng ut or munnen, kjem frå hjarta, og det gjer menneskja urein;
19 It is people’s innermost beings that [cause them] to think things that are evil, to murder people, to [commit] adultery, to commit other sexual sins, to steal things, to testify falsely, and to speak evil about [others].
for frå hjarta kjem vonde tankar: manndråp, egteskapsbrot, lauslivnad, tjuvskap, range vitnemål, gudsspotting.
20 It is these actions that cause [God to consider] people to be unacceptable [to him]. To eat with unwashed hands does not cause [God to consider] people unacceptable to him.”
Det er det som gjer menneskja urein; men å eta med utvegne hender gjer ikkje menneskja urein.
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
So for Jesus derifrå, og tok vegen burt til bygderne kring Tyrus og Sidon.
22 A woman [from the group of people called] Canaanites who live in that region came [to the place where Jesus was staying]. She kept shouting [to him], “Lord, you are the descendant of [King] David, [you are the Messiah!] Have pity on me [and my daughter!] She is suffering very much because a demon controls her.”
Då kom det ei kananæisk kona ut frå dei grenderne og ropa: «Herre, Davids son, gjer sælebot på meg! Dotter mi er so ille plåga av ei vond ånd.»
23 But Jesus did not answer her at all. [We] disciples came to him, and [knowing that the woman was not a Jew], we said to him, “Tell her to leave, because she keeps [bothering us] by yelling behind us!”
Men han svara henne ikkje eit ord. Då gjekk læresveinarne fram og bad honom: «Kjære, få henne frå deg! Ho ropar so etter oss.»
24 But Jesus said [to her], “I have been sent {[God] has sent me} to [help] only the Israelite people [at this time] [SYN]. [They are like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET] [because they do not know the way to heaven].”
«Det er berre dei forkomne sauerne av Israelshuset eg er send til, » svara han.
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
So kom ho og fall på kne for honom og sagde: «Herre, hjelp meg!»
26 Then, [to suggest to her that he needed to help the Jews first and not the non-Jews, whom the Jews called dogs], he told her, “It is not good [for someone] to take food [that has been prepared for] the children and throw it to the [little] dogs.”
Men han svara: «Det er’kje vænt å taka brødet frå borni og kasta det for hund-ungarne.»
27 [But to show that she believed that non-Jews could also receive help from God], the woman said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, what you [say is] correct, but even the [little] dogs eat the crumbs that fall to the floor [when] their masters [sit at] their tables [and eat]!”
«Det er sant, Herre, » sagde ho, «men hund-ungarne et då av dei molarne som fell frå bordet åt herrarne deira.»
28 Then Jesus said to her, “O woman, [because] you believe firmly [in me, I] will [heal your daughter] as you desire!” At that moment [the demon left] her daughter, [and she] became well.
Då svara Jesus: «Stor er trui di, kona! Du skal få det som du vil.» Og dotter hennar vart god att i same stundi.
29 After Jesus, [along with us disciples], departed from that area, we went [back] to Galilee Lake [and walked] along it. Then Jesus climbed the hill [near there] and sat down [to teach the people].
So for Jesus burt derifrå og kom til Galilæasjøen, og han gjekk upp i fjellet og sette seg der.
30 Crowds kept coming to him for the next two days and brought lame, crippled, and blind people, those who were unable to talk, and many others [who had various sicknesses]. They laid them in front of Jesus [so that he would heal them] [SYN]. And he healed them.
Då kom dei til honom i store flokkar, og hadde med seg halte og blinde og mållause og kryplingar og mange andre, og lagde deim ned for føterne hans, og han gjorde dei gode att,
31 The crowd saw [him heal] people who could not talk, crippled people, lame people, and blind people, and they were amazed. They said, “Praise God [who rules over us who live in] Israel!”
so folket undra seg då dei såg at mållause tala, og kryplingar vart friske og føre, og halte gjekk ikring, og blinde såg; og dei lova Israels Gud.
32 Then Jesus called us disciples to him and said [to us], “This crowd [of people] has been with me for three days and have nothing [left] to eat. I feel sorry for them. I do not want to send them away [while they are still] hungry, [because if I did that], they might faint on the way [home].”
Då kalla Jesus læresveinarne til seg og sagde: Eg tykkjer hjarteleg synd i folket; for no hev dei alt vore hjå meg i tri dagar, og dei hev’kje noko å eta; og ikkje vil eg senda deim fastande frå meg; for då kunde dei ormegtast på vegen.»
33 We disciples said to him, “In this place where nobody lives, (we cannot possibly obtain enough food to feed such a large crowd!/how can we obtain a large enough amount of food to feed such a large crowd?) [RHQ]”
Læresveinarne svara: «Kor skal me her i øydemarki få brød nok til å metta so stor ein hop?»
34 Jesus asked us, “How many small loaves do you have?” We said to him, “[We have] seven small loaves and a few [cooked] fish.”
«Kor mykje brød hev de?» spurde Jesus. «Sju leivar, » sagde dei, «og nokre få småfiskar.»
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Då let han folket setja seg ned på marki,
36 Then he took the seven small loaves and the fish. After he thanked [God for them], he broke them [into pieces], and he kept giving [them] to us. Then we [kept distributing] them to the crowd.
og han tok dei sju leivarne og fiskarne, og takka, og bytte deim sund og gav det til læresveinarne, og læresveinarne gav det til folket.
37 [Because Jesus made the food multiply miraculously], all [those people] ate and had [plenty to] satisfy [them]. There were 4,000 men [who ate], but no [one counted] the women and the children [who also ate]. Then we [disciples] collected the pieces of food that were left over, and we filled seven large baskets [with them].
Då alle hadde ete og var mette, samla dei upp dei stykki som att var; det var sju fulle korger.
Og det var fire tusund mann som hadde ete, umfram kvinnor og born.
39 After Jesus dismissed the crowd, he, [along with us], got in the boat, and we sailed [around the lake] to the region called Magadan.
Sidan bad Jesus farvel med folket, og steig ut i båten og for til Magadanbygdi.
