Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Då han gjekk ned av fjellet, fylgde det mykje folk med honom.
2 [After he left the crowds], a man who had [the skin disease called] leprosy unexpectedly came and knelt before him. He said [to Jesus], “Lord/Sir, [please heal me, because I know] you are able to heal me if you are willing to.”
Best det var, kom ein som hadde spillsykja, og fall på kne for honom og sagde: «Herre, dersom du vil, so kann du gjera meg rein.»
3 Then Jesus, [disregarding the religious law that forbade people to come close to lepers], stretched out his hand and touched the man. He said [to him], “I am willing to [heal you], and I heal you [now]!” Immediately the man was healed from his leprosy {he was no longer a leper}.
Jesus rette ut handi, og tok burt på honom og sagde: «Eg vil; vert rein!» Då vart han med ein gong fri spillsykja, og rein.
4 Then Jesus said to him, “Go and show yourself to a [nearby] priest [so that he can examine you and verify that you no longer have leprosy]. [Then], after he tells [the local people], they will know [that you no longer have leprosy], [and you will be able to associate with them again]. Make sure that [now] you do not report [about my healing you] to anyone [other than the priest]. Then go [to the Temple in Jerusalem and give the priest] the offering that Moses commanded [that people who have been healed from leprosy should offer] as a sacrifice to God.”
Og Jesus sagde til honom: «Sjå til at du ikkje segjer dette med nokon, men gakk burt og te deg for presten, og ber fram det offeret som Moses hev sagt fyre, so du kann vitna for deim!»
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
Då han so gjekk inn i Kapernaum, kom ein hovudsmann og tala til honom og sagde:
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
«Herre, drengen min ligg lam heime, og lid hardt.»
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
«Skal eg koma og lækja honom?» segjer Jesus.
8 But the officer said [to him], “Lord/Sir, [do not bother to go. I am a non-Jew], so I am not worthy for you, [a Jew], to come into my house [MTY] [and associate with me]. Instead, [just] command [that] my servant [be healed], and he will be healed.
«Herre, » svara hovudsmannen, «eg er ikkje verd at du stig inn under mitt tak. Men seg berre eit ord, so vert drengen min god att!
9 I [believe this] because, as for me, I am a man under the authority of others, and I also have soldiers under my authority. When I say to one of them ‘Go!’ he goes. When I say to another ‘Come!’ he comes. When I say to my slave, ‘Do this!’ he does it. [And I believe that you speak with a similar kind of authority].”
For eg er ein mann som må lyda deim som større er, og sjølv hev eg og hersveinar under meg, og segjer eg til ein av deim: «Gakk!» so gjeng han, og til ein annan: «Kom!» so kjem han, og til tenaren min: «Gjer no det!» so gjer han det.»
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled. He said to the crowd that was walking with him, “Listen to this: I have never before found anyone who has as firm a faith [in me as this non-Jewish man has]. Not even in Israel, [where I would expect people to believe in me], have I found anyone who has the kind of faith in me that he has!
Då Jesus høyrde det, undra han seg, og sagde til deim som var med honom: «Det segjer eg dykk for sant: So stor ei tru hev eg ikkje funne hjå nokon i Israel.
11 I tell you truly that many [other non-Jewish people] who [will believe in me like this Roman officer] will come from [distant countries, including] those [far] to the east and far to the west [SYN], and they will sit down to eat with [MTY] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in heaven, where God rules.
Og det skal de vita, at mange skal koma både frå aust og frå vest og setja seg til bords med Abraham og Isak og Jakob i himmelriket;
12 But [the Jews] [IDM] [who should have allowed] God to rule over them will be sent to [hell, where there is] total darkness. And as a result, they will weep [because of their suffering] and will grind their teeth [because they will have severe pain] [MTY].” (questioned)
men dei som riket var etla åt, skal ut i myrkret utanfor, der dei græt og skjer tenner.»
13 Then Jesus said to the officer, “Go [home]. What you believed [would happen], [that I would heal your servant from a distance], will happen.” [Then the officer went home and found out that] his servant became well at the exact time [that Jesus told him that he would heal him].
So sagde han til hovudsmannen: «Gakk heim att! Det skal verta som du trudde.» Og drengen vart god att i same stundi.
14 When Jesus [and some of his disciples] went to the home of Peter, Jesus saw Peter’s mother-in-law. She was lying on a bed because she had a fever.
Då Jesus kom heim til Peter, såg han at vermor hans låg sjuk og hadde hiteflagor.
15 He touched her hand, and as a result, [immediately] she no longer had a fever [PRS]. Then she got up and served them [some food].
So tok han henne i handi; då kvarv hiteflagorne burt, og ho stod upp og stelte for honom.
16 That evening [when] ([the Sabbath/the Jewish rest day]) [ended and restrictions about traveling ended], many people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} [and people who were sick] [MTY] [were] brought to Jesus. He caused the demons to leave just by speaking to them, and he healed all the people who were sick.
Um kvelden kom dei til honom med mange som var forgjorde og hadde vonde ånder i seg, og han dreiv ut ånderne med eit einaste ord, og alle som hadde vondt, gjorde han gode att.
17 By doing this he fulfilled the words that had been said by the prophet Isaiah {that the prophet Isaiah had said} [about the Messiah]: “He healed people who had sicknesses and he cured them of their diseases.” [DOU]
Soleis skulde det sannast det som Jesaja, profeten, hev tala, når han segjer: «Han våre sotter på seg tok, og våre sykjor bar.»
18 Jesus saw the crowd around him, but [he needed to rest]. So he told [his disciples to take him by boat] to the other side [of the lake].
Då Jesus såg at det hadde samla seg mykje folk ikring honom, sagde han til læresveinarne: «Lat oss fara yver til hi sida!»
19 [As they were walking toward the boat], a man who taught the [Jewish] laws came to him and said, “Teacher, I will go with you wherever you go.”
I det same kom ein skriftlærd mann til honom og sagde: «Meister, eg vil fylgja deg kvar du fer.»
20 [In order that the man might know what he could expect if he went with him], Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes [in the ground in which to live], and birds have nests, but [even though I] am the one who came from heaven, I do not have a home where I can sleep [MTY].”
Då svara Jesus: «Revarne hev hi, og fuglarne i lufti hev reir, men Menneskjesonen hev ingen stad han kann leggja sitt hovud nedpå.»
21 Another man who was one of Jesus’ disciples said to him, “Sir/Lord, permit me first to go [home. After] my father [dies I will] bury him, [and then I will come with you].”
Ein annan - ein av læresveinarne hans - sagde med honom: «Herre, lat meg fyrst få ganga heim og jorda far min!»
22 But Jesus said to him, “Come with me [now]. [God considers that people who do not have eternal life are] dead [MET]. Let those people [do the work of] burying people who die.”
Men Jesus svara: «Fylg du meg, og lat dei daude jorda sine daude!»
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
So gjekk han ut i båten, og læresveinarne var med.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Um eit bil vart det so hard sjø at bårorne slo yver båten; men han låg og sov.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Då gjekk dei burt til honom og vekte honom og sagde: «Herre, hjelp! Me gjeng under!»
26 He said [to them], “(You should not be terrified!/Why are you terrified?) [RHQ] I [am disappointed that in spite of all you have seen me do], (you do not believe very much [that I can rescue you./] you not believe [that I can rescue you]?) [RHQ]” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to calm down. And [the wind stopped blowing and the lake] became calm.
«Kvi er de so rædde?» sagde han; «kor lite tru de hev!» So stod han upp og truga vinden og sjøen, og det vart blikende stilt.
27 [As a result], they were amazed, and they said [to one another], “This man is certainly an [extraordinary] person [RHQ]! [All things are under his control!] Even the winds and the waves obey him [PRS]!”
Og folk undra seg og sagde: «Kva mann er dette, at både vind og sjø må lyda honom?»
28 When they came to the [east] side [of the lake], they arrived in the region where the Gadarenes [lived]. [Jesus got out of the boat and began walking on the road. Then] two men who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled} came out of the burial caves [where they were living]. Because they were extremely violent [and attacked people], no one dared to travel on the road [near where they were living].
Då han kom yver på hi sida, til Gadarenarlandet, møtte han tvo forgjorde, som kom ut or gravholorne; dei var so ville og vonde at ingen kunde koma fram den vegen.
29 Suddenly they shouted [to Jesus], “You are the Son of God! [Because] you have nothing in common with us [IDM, RHQ], [leave us alone] Have you come here [RHQ] to torture us before the time [MTY] [God has appointed to punish us]?”
Og best det var, sette dei i og ropa: «Kva vil du oss, du Guds Son? Er du komen hit for å plåga oss fyre tidi?»
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Eit godt stykke ifrå gjekk ein stor svineflokk på beite.
31 So the demons begged Jesus, saying, “You are going to cast us out of the men, so send us into the herd of pigs!”
So bad ånderne: «Driv du oss ut, so lat oss fara i svineflokken!»
32 Jesus said [to them], “[If that is what you want], go!” So the demons left [the men] and entered the pigs. Suddenly the whole herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
«Gjer so då!» svara han. Då for dei ut og for inn i svini. Og brått sette heile flokken utyver stupet og ned i sjøen og druknast.
33 The men who were tending the pigs [became afraid and] ran into the town and reported everything [that had happened], including what had happened to the two men who had been controlled by demons {whom demons had controlled}.
Gjætarane rømde, og då dei kom til byen, fortalde dei alt saman, og sagde korleis det hadde gjenge med dei forgjorde.
34 Then [it seemed as if] all [the people] [HYP] [who lived in] that town [MTY] went to meet Jesus. When they saw him [and the two men who had been controlled by the demons], they begged Jesus to leave their region [because they thought that he would destroy more things than just the pigs] (OR, [because they realized he must be very powerful]).
Då gjekk alt byfolket ut imot Jesus, og då dei fekk sjå honom, bad dei at han vilde fara burt ifrå bygderne deira.
