Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Fariseerne og saddukeerne kom til Jesus, og forlangte at han skulle gi dem et tegn fra Gud som bevis på hvem han var.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Men han svarte:”Dere er flinke til å tyde de tegnene dere ser på himmelen: Om himmelen er rød når kvelden kommer, da vet dere at det blir fint vær på morgenen. Om himmelen er rød og skyet på morgenen, da vet dere at det snart blir uvær. Nå vil dere altså at himmelens Gud skal vise dere et tegn, likevel forstår dere ikke de tingene som skjer midt foran øynene på dere.
3 [Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
4 [You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
Denne onde og gudløse slekten vil se tegn fra Gud. Det eneste tegnet de kommer til å få se, er det som skjedde med Jona.” Så dro Jesus fra dem og gikk derfra.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Da de var på vei over til den andre siden av sjøen, oppdaget disiplene at de hadde glemt å ta med seg brød.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
Jesus sa da til dem:”Ta dere i vare for den gjæren som fariseerne og saddukeerne sprer.”
7 Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
”Hva mener han?” spurte disiplene hverandre. De trodde at han sa dette fordi de hadde glemt å ta med seg brød.
8 Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
Da Jesus hørte de diskutere dette, sa han til dem:”Så svak tro dere har! Hvorfor er dere så urolige for at dere ikke har noe brød?
9 (You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
Forstår dere fortsatt ingenting? Husker dere ikke den gangen jeg mettet mer enn 5 000 personer med fem brød, og hvor mange kurver dere da fikk til overs?
10 [Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
Husker dere ikke den andre gangen da jeg mettet mer enn 4 000 personer med sju brød, og hvor mange kurver dere da fikk til overs?
11 (You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
Hvordan kan dere tro at jeg snakket om brød? Jeg sier på nytt til dere: Ta dere i være for den gjæren som fariseerne og saddukeerne sprer om seg.”
12 Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
Da forsto de endelig at han med”gjær” mente den falske undervisningen til fariseerne og saddukeerne, og at det var den han advarte dem mot.
13 When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
Da Jesus kom til området rundt Cæsarea Filippi, spurte han disiplene:”Hvem sier folk at jeg, Menneskesønnen, er?”
14 We answered, “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]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
De svarte:”Noen sier døperen Johannes, noen sier Elia og andre Jeremia eller en av de andre profetene som før i tiden bar fram Guds budskap.”
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
Da spurte han dem:”Hvem tror dere at jeg er?”
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Simon Peter svarte:”Du er Messias, den lovede kongen, Sønn til den Gud som er og blir.”
17 Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
”Du kan virkelig kjenne deg lykkelig, Simon, sønn av Jonas”, sa Jesus,”for min Far i himmelen har selv vist deg dette. Ingen kan på egen hånd få innsikt i den saken.
18 I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
Du er Peter, en klippe, og på denne klippe vil jeg bygge min menighet. Helvetes krefter skal ikke kunne beseire den. (Hadēs g86)
19 [Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
Jeg skal gi deg nøklene inn til Guds nye verden. Du skal få i oppdrag å fortelle menneskene at Gud har erklært dem skyldige, men du skal også fortelle dem at de har blitt fri fra sin skyld.”
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
Han forbød disiplene å si til andre at han var Messias, den lovede kongen.
21 From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
Etter dette begynte Jesus å snakke åpent ut med disiplene om at han skulle gå til Jerusalem, og alt som skulle skje der. Han forklarte at folkets ledere, øversteprestene og de skriftlærde, ville gjøre det slik at han måtte lide mye og til slutt bli drept, men at han på den tredje dagen skulle stå opp fra de døde igjen.
22 [Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
Peter tok ham da til siden, protesterte og sa:”Gud kommer til å ta hånd om deg, Herre! Dette skal aldri skje med deg!”
23 Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
Men Jesus vendte seg mot Peter og sa:”Gå bort fra meg, Satan! Du forsøker å få meg til å synde, for det du tenker, er mennesketanker og kommer ikke fra Gud.”
24 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
Jesus sa til disiplene:”Om noen vil bli disiplene mine, da kan han ikke lenger tenke på seg selv, men han må følge mitt eksempel og være beredt til å dø.
25 [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] will live [with God eternally].
Ja, den som klamrer seg fast til livet, vil til slutt miste det, men den som mister livet sitt for min skyld, vil finne det.
26 People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
Hvilken gevinst får et menneske om det blir gitt hele verden i hendene, men samtidig mister det evige livet? Alle pengene i hele verden kan ikke hjelpe et menneske til å få livet tilbake.
27 [Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
Jeg, Menneskesønnen, skal komme i min Fars herlighet med mine engler og dømme hvert enkelt menneske for det de har gjort.
28 Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
Men tro meg: Noen av dere som nå står her, skal ikke dø før de har sett meg, Menneskesønnen, komme med kongelig makt.”
