Matthew 7
1 “Do not talk about how sinfully others have acted, in order that God will not say how sinfully you have acted.
Døm ikkje, elles vert de dømde! For den domen de dømer, skal de dømast etter,
2 If you condemn [other people], [God] will condemn you. To the same extent that you condemn others, you will be condemned {[God] will condemn you}.
og det målet de mæler med, skal dei mæla åt dykk i.
3 (None of you should be concerned [about someone else’s small faults] [MET]!/Why should any of you be concerned [about someone else’s small faults]?) [MET, RHQ] [That would be like noticing] a speck in that person’s eye. But you should [be concerned about your own big faults. They are like] [MET] planks in your own eye, which you do not notice.
Kvi ser du flisi i auga åt bror din, men bjelken i ditt eige auga, den vert du ikkje var?
4 (You should not say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes!’/Why do you say to other people [about their minor faults], ‘Let me remove the specks from your eyes?’) [RHQ] [You should not say that] if a plank is still in your own eye [MET].
Eller korleis kann du segja til bror din: Kom, lat meg taka flisi ut or auga ditt! og sjå, det sit ein bjelke i ditt eige auga!
5 You hypocrite, [stop committing your own sins! That will be like] removing the plank from your own eye [MET]. Then, as a result, you will be able to perceive things spiritually so that you can help other people get rid of the [faults] [MET] [that are like] specks in their eyes.”
Din hyklar! Drag fyrst bjelken ut or ditt auga - då kann du sjå å taka flisi ut or auga åt bror din.
6 “You do not give holy things to dogs [that would ignore those things] and attack you [CHI]. You do not throw pearls in front of hogs, [because they would just ignore them] and trample them. [Similarly], do not give [precious spiritual truth to people you know will not value it but instead will do evil things to you].”
Gjev ikkje hundarne det som heilagt er, og kasta ikkje perlorne dykkar for svini! Dei kjem berre til å trøda deim under føterne, og snu seg og riva dykk sund.
7 “Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you. Confidently keep [expecting God to give you the things that you need, and he will give them to you. It will be like] [MET] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying persistently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] [MET] knocking [on a door in order to enter a room]. And the way will be opened {[God] will open the way} for you [to get what you pray for].
Bed, so skal de få, leita, so skal de finna, banka på, so skal det verta upplate for dykk!
8 Remember that [God] will give things to everyone who continues to ask [him for them]. [He] will give things to whoever confidently keeps asking. [He] will open [the way] for people [to get the things that they keep persistently praying for].
For kvar den som bed, han fær, og den som leitar, han finn, og den som bankar på, vert det upplate for.
9 (No man among you would give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread./Would anyone among you give a stone to his son if his son were to ask for bread?) [RHQ]
Eller er det nokon av dykk som gjev son sin ein stein når han bed honom um brød,
10 Likewise, (no man would give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish./would anyone give a [poisonous] snake to his son if his son would ask for a fish?) [RHQ]
eller ein orm når han bed um ein fisk?
11 You, who are evil, know how to give good things to your children. So [God], your Father who is in heaven, will certainly give good things to the people who ask him.”
Når no de veit å gjeva borni dykkar gode gåvor, de som er vonde, kor mykje meir vil so’kje far dykkar i himmelen gjeva noko godt til deim som bed honom!
12 “So in whatever way you want others to act toward you [(pl)], that is the way you [(pl)] should act toward them, because that [sums up what Moses wrote in] the laws [that God gave him] and [also what] the prophets [wrote long ago].”
Alt som de då vil at andre skal gjera mot dykk, det skal de og gjera mot deim; for so er lovi og profetarne.
13 “[Going to] where people live eternally [with God in heaven] is difficult. [It is like] going along a narrow road [PRS, MET] that leads to a narrow gate. Not many people find that way. [The way] that most [people take] is easy, [but it results in their being punished] {[God punishing them]} [in hell. That way is like a] wide road that people walk on [PRS, MET] until they reach the wide gate, but that road and that gate lead to where [they] will be destroyed {[God] will destroy them}. Many people enter that gate. So I [am telling you to leave the wide road and] enter the narrow gate [to heaven].” (questioned)
Gakk inn igjenom den tronge porten! For vid er den porten, og breid er den vegen som fører til fortaping, og mange er dei som gjeng inn der.
Men trong er den porten, og smal er den vegen som fører til livet, og få er dei som finn honom.
15 “Beware of people who come to you and say falsely that they are telling you [what God has said]. [They seem to be harmless, but they are extremely harmful. They are like] wolves that have covered themselves with sheepskins [to make people believe that they are sheep] [MET], but they actually are wolves that attack people [MET].
Tak dykk i vare for dei falske profetarne! Dei kjem til dykk i saueham, men innvertes er dei gråduge ulvar.
16 [So how will you know that they are false?] Well, by seeing what plants produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are [MET]. [For example, thornbushes cannot produce grapes], so (no one can pick grapes from thornbushes./can anyone pick grapes from thornbushes?) [RHQ] And [thistles cannot produce figs], so (no one can pick figs from thistles./can anyone pick figs from thistles?) [RHQ]
På frukterne deira skal de kjenna deim; kann ein hausta druvor av klunger eller fikor av tistlar?
17 [Here is another example]: All good fruit trees produce good fruit, but all unhealthy trees produce worthless fruit.
Soleis ber alle gode tre god frukt; men låke tre ber vond frukt,
18 No good fruit tree is able to produce worthless fruit, and no unhealthy tree is able to produce good fruit.
eit godt tre kann ikkje bera vond frukt, og eit låkt tre kann ikkje bera god frukt.
19 [And] all the trees that do not produce good fruit are chopped down and burned in a fire {people chop them down and burn them in a fire} [to get rid of them]. [Similarly], those who falsely claim to be prophets [will be thrown] {[God will throw false prophets]} [into the fires of hell]. (questioned)
Men kvart tre som ikkje gjev god frukt, vert hogge ned og kasta på elden.
20 By seeing [what plants] produce, you know [what kind of plants] they are. [Similarly, when you see what the people who come to you do], [you will know if they are false prophets].”
So skal de då kjenna deim på frukterne.
21 “[Even though many] people [habitually] call me ‘Lord’, [pretending that they have my authority], some of them will not go to heaven where God rules, [because they do not do what he desires]. [Only] those people who do what my Father, who is in heaven, desires [will go there].
Ikkje alle som segjer til meg: «Herre, herre!» skal koma inn i himmelriket, men dei som gjer det far min i himmelen vil.
22 On the day [MTY] [that God judges everyone], many [people, trying to tell me that they deserve to go to heaven], will say to me, ‘Lord, we(exc) spoke God’s message as your representatives [MTY, RHQ]! As your representatives we(exc) expelled demons from [people] [RHQ]! And as your representatives, many times we(exc) performed miracles [RHQ]!’
På den dagen skal mange segja til meg: «Herre, herre, hev me ikkje tala profetord i ditt namn, og drive ut djevlar i ditt namn, og gjort mange under i ditt namn?»
23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I have never said that you belonged to me. Go away from me, you who do what is evil!’”
Då skal eg segja deim beint ut: «Eg hev aldri kjent dykk. Gakk ifrå meg, de illgjerdsmenner!»
24 “So then, anyone who hears what I say and does what I command, will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.
Den som no høyrer desse ordi mine og gjer etter deim, honom vil eg likna med ein vitug mann, som bygde huset sitt på berg.
25 [Even though] the rain came down and the river flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it did not fall down because it had been built {he built it} on a solid foundation.
Og regnet sila, og elvarne fløymde, og vindarne bles og sette mot huset; men det stod; for det var tufta på berg.
26 On the other hand, anyone who hears what I say but does not obey what I say will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand.
Og den som høyrer desse ordi mine og ikkje gjer etter deim, han kann liknast med ein fåvis mann, som bygde huset sitt på sand.
27 When the rain fell and the rivers flooded, and the winds blew and beat against that house, it crashed down and broke completely apart, [because it was built on the sand. So it is important for you to obey what I teach you].”
Og regnet sila, og elvarne fløymde, og vindarne bles og sette mot huset; då fall det, og fallet vart stort.»
28 When Jesus finished saying all those things, the [who had been listening to him were] amazed at the [new] teaching that he had taught them.
Då Jesus hadde tala desse ordi, då var folket reint upp i under yver læra hans.
29 The reason they were amazed was that he was teaching as a person does who has authority. He was not teaching like the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, [who just repeated what other people had taught them].
For han lærde deim som ein som hev velde, og ikkje som deira skriftlærde.
