Matthew 16
1 [Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
Då kom farisæarane og sadducæarane og freista honom, og bad at han vilde lata deim få sjå eit teikn frå himmelen.
2 He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
Han svara: «Um kvelden segjer de: «Det vert godt ver; for himmelen er raud, »
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].
og um morgonen: «I dag vert det uver; for himmelen er raud og myrk.» Himmelsbragdi veit de å døma um, men tidarteikni kann de ikkje tyda.
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].
Ei vond og utru ætt krev etter teikn, men dei skal’kje få anna teikn enn Jona-teiknet.» Dermed snudde han seg ifrå deim og gjekk burt.
5 [We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
Då dei so for yver til hi sida, gløymde læresveinarne å taka brød med seg.
6 [Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
So sagde Jesus til deim: «Sjå til at de tek dykk i vare for farisæar- og sadducæar-surdeigen!»
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!”
Då sagde dei seg imillom: «Det er av di me ikkje tok brød med oss!»
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].
Jesus gådde det og sagde: «Kvi talar de dykk imillom um det at de ikkje hev brød med, de fåtruande?
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]!
Hev de endå so lite vit? Kjem de ikkje i hug dei fem brødleivarne til dei fem tusund mann, og kor mange korger de fekk att,
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]
og ikkje dei sju leivarne til dei fire tusund, og kor mange korger de då fekk att?
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].”
Kann de då’kje skyna at det ikkje var brød eg tala til dykk um? Men agta dykk for farisæar- og sadducæar-surdeigen!»
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.
Då skyna dei at det ikkje var surdeigen i brødet han hadde meint, men læra åt farisæarane og sadducæarane.
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?”
Då Jesus var komen til bygderne kring Cæsarea Filippi, spurde han læresveinarne sine: «Kven segjer folk at Menneskjesonen 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].”
Dei svara: «Sume segjer: «Johannes døyparen, » andre: «Elia», endå andre: «Jeremia eller ein annan av profetarne.»»
15 Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
«Kven segjer då de at eg er?» spurde han.
16 Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
Då tok Simon Peter til ords og sagde: «Du er Messias, den livande Guds Son.»
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].
Og Jesus sagde til honom: «Sæl er du, Simon Jonason! for det er ikkje kjøt og blod som hev lært deg det, men far min i himmelen.
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)
Og no segjer eg deg at du er Peter; yver den steinen vil eg byggja mi kyrkja, og helheimsportarne skal ikkje vinna yver henne. (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.”
Eg vil gjeva deg lyklarne til himmelriket; det som du bind på jordi, skal vera bunde i himmelen, og det som du løyser på jordi, skal vera løyst i himmelen.»
20 Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
So forbaud han læresveinarne å segja det med nokon at han var Messias.
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.
Frå den tidi tok Jesus til å syna læresveinarne at han laut fara til Jerusalem og tola mykje vondt av styresmennerne og dei øvste prestarne og dei skriftlærde, og at dei kom til å drepa honom, men tridje dagen skulde han standa upp att.
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 honom til sides og for til å telja for honom og sagde: «Hjelpe deg Gud, Herre! Slikt må aldri henda 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]!”
Då snudde han seg imot Peter og sagde: «Gakk utor augo mine, Satan! Du er meg eit styggje, for du hev’kje ans for det som er Guds vilje, men berre for det som er menneskjevilje.»
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].
Same gongen sagde Jesus til læresveinarne sine: «Vil nokon vera i lag med meg, so lyt han gløyma seg sjølv, og taka krossen sin upp og fylgja etter meg.
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].
For den som vil berga livet sitt, skal missa det; men den som misser livet for mi skuld, skal finna 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]
Kva batar det eit menneskje, um han vinn heile verdi, men taper sjæli si? Eller kva hev menneskjet å gjeva i byte for sjæli si?
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].
For Menneskjesonen skal koma i herlegdomen åt far sin med englarne sine, og då skal han gjeva kvar og ein lika for det dei hev 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!”
Det segjer eg dykk for visst: Sume av dei som stend her, skal ikkje smaka dauden fyrr dei hev set Menneskjesonen koma i sitt kongelege velde.»
