Matthew 15
1 Then [some] Pharisees and men who taught the [Jewish] laws came from Jerusalem [to talk to] Jesus. They said,
Då kommo till Jesum de Skriftlärde, och de Phariseer af Jerusalem, och sade:
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!”
Hvi bryta dina Lärjungar de äldstas stadgar? Förty de två intet sina händer, när de skola äta bröd.
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]
Han svarade, och sade till dem: Hvi bryten ock I Guds bud, för edra stadgars skull?
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.’
Ty Gud hafver budit, och sagt: Du skall ära fader och moder; och hvilken som bannar fader eller moder, han skall döden dö.
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 I sägen: Hvar och en må säga till fader eller moder: Det är allt Gudi gifvet, som du skulle få af mig, dig till nytto. Dermed sker då, att ingen hedrar sin fader eller sina moder;
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.
Och hafven dermed gjort Guds bud till intet, för edra stadgars skull.
7 You only pretend to be good! Isaiah prophesied accurately about you [also when he quoted what God said about your ancestors. God said],
I skrymtare, Esaias hafver rätt spått om eder, sägandes:
8 ‘These people talk [as if they] honor me [MTY], but they do not think about honoring me at all [MET].
Detta folket nalkas mig med sin mun, och hedrar mig med sina läppar; men deras hjerta är långt ifrå mig.
9 It is useless for them to worship me, because they teach what people thought up [as if I myself had commanded it].’”
Men de tjena mig fåfängt, lärande den lärdom som är menniskobud.
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.
Och han kallade till sig folket, och sade till dem: Hörer, och förstår.
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 besmittar icke menniskona, som ingår genom munnen; utan det, som utgår af munnen, det besmittar menniskona.
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 stego hans Lärjungar fram, och sade till honom: Vetst du, att Phariseerna förargades, när de hörde detta ordet?
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 svarade, och sade: Hvar och en plantering, som min himmelske Fader icke planterat hafver, skall uppryckas med rötter.
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)
Låter fara dem; de äro blinde, och blindas ledare; hvar nu en blinder leder en blindan, så falla de både i gropena.
15 Peter said to Jesus, “Explain to us the parable [about what a person eats].”
Då svarade Petrus, och sade till honom: Uttyd oss denna liknelsen.
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]
Då sade Jesus: Ären I ock ännu oförståndige?
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].
Förstån I icke ännu, att allt det, som ingår genom munnen, det går i buken, och hafver sin naturliga utgång?
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 går ut af munnen, det kommer ifrå hjertat; och det besmittar menniskona;
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].
Ty af hjertat utgå onda tankar, mord, hor, skörlefnad, tjufveri, falsk vittne, hädelse.
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 äro de stycke, som besmitta menniskona; men äta med otvagna händer, besmittar icke menniskona.
21 After Jesus [took us and] left [Galilee district], we went into the region [where the cities of] Tyre and Sidon [are located].
Och Jesus gick dädan, och kom i Tyri och Sidons landsändar.
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.”
Och si, en Cananeisk qvinna kom af de landsändar, och ropade till honom, och sade: O Herre, Davids Son, förbarma dig öfver mig; min dotter qväljs jämmerliga af djefvulen.
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 svarade henne icke ett ord. Då stego hans Lärjungar fram, och bådo honom, och sade: Skilj henne ifrå dig; ty hon ropar efter 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].”
Men han svarade, och sade: Jag är icke utsänd, utan till de borttappada får af Israels hus.
25 But she came [closer] to Jesus and knelt down in front of him [to worship him]. She pled, “Lord/Sir, help me!”
Men hon kom, och tillbad honom, sägandes: Herre, hjelp mig.
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.”
Då svarade han, och sade: Det är icke höfveligit att taga brödet ifrå barnen, och kasta det för hundarna.
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]!”
Svarade hon: Ja, Herre; dock likväl äta hundarna af de smulor, som falla utaf deras herrars bord.
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 svarade Jesus, och sade till henne: O qvinna, din tro är stor; ske dig som du vill. Och hennes dotter blef helbregda i samma stund.
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].
Och Jesus gick dädan länger fram, och kom till det Galileiska hafvet; och gick upp på ett berg, och satte sig 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.
Och till honom kom mycket folk, och hade med sig halta, blinda, dumbar, lemmalösa och många andra, och kastade dem för Jesu fötter; och han gjorde dem helbregda;
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!”
Så att folket förundrade sig, när de sågo de dumbar tala, de lemmalösa färdiga, de halta gå, de blinda se; och prisade 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].”
Och Jesus kallade sina Lärjungar till sig, och sade: Jag ömkar mig öfver folket; ty de hafva nu i tre dagar töfvat när mig, och hafva intet äta; och jag vill icke låta dem ifrå mig fastande, att de icke skola gifvas upp i vägen.
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]”
Då sade hans Lärjungar till honom: Hvar skole vi få här i öknene så mycket bröd, der vi kunne mätta så mycket folk med?
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.”
Sade Jesus till dem: Huru mång bröd hafven I? De sade: Sju, och några små fiskar.
35 He told the people to sit on the ground.
Då böd han folket sätta sig ned på jordena;
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.
Och tog de sju bröd och fiskarna, tackade, bröt, och gaf sina Lärjungar; och Lärjungarna gåfvo folkena.
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].
Och de åto alle, och vordo mätte; och upptogo det öfver var i styckom, sju korgar fulla.
Och de som åto voro fyratusend män, förutan qvinnor och barn.
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.
Och när han hade skiljt folket ifrå sig, steg han till skepps, och kom uti den gränson vid Magdala.
