Matthew 8
1 When Jesus went down from the hillside, large crowds followed him.
Sedan han hade kommit ned från berget, följde honom mycket folk.
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.”
Då trädde en spetälsk man fram och föll ned för honom och sade: »Herre, vill du, så kan du göra mig ren.»
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}.
Då räckte han ut handen och rörde vid honom och sade: »Jag vill; bliv ren.» Och strax blev han ren från sin spetälska.
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.”
Och Jesus sade till honom: »Se till, att du icke säger detta för någon; men gå bort och visa dig för prästen, och frambär den offergåva som Moses har påbjudit, till ett vittnesbörd för dem.»
5 When Jesus went to Capernaum [city], a [Roman] officer who commanded 100 soldiers came to him. He begged Jesus [to help him].
När han därefter kom in i Kapernaum, trädde en hövitsman fram till honom och bad honom
6 He said [to him], “Sir, my servant is lying [in bed] at home and is paralyzed, and he has severe pain.”
och sade: »Herre, min tjänare ligger därhemma lam och lider svårt.»
7 Jesus said [to him], “I will go [to your house] and heal him.”
Han sade till honom: »Skall då jag komma och bota honom?»
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.
Hövitsmannen svarade och sade: »Herre, jag är icke värdig att du går in under mitt tak. Men säg allenast ett ord, så bliver min tjänare frisk.
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].”
Jag är ju själv en man som står under andras befäl: jag har ock krigsmän under mig, och om jag säger till en av dem: 'Gå', så går han, eller till en annan: 'Kom', så kommer han; och om jag säger till min tjänare: 'Gör det', då gör han så.»
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!
När Jesus hörde detta, förundrade han sig och sade till dem som följde honom: »Sannerligen säger jag eder: I Israel har jag icke hos någon funnit så stor tro.
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.
Och jag säger eder: Många skola komma från öster och väster och få vara med Abraham, Isak och Jakob till bords 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 rikets barn skola bliva utkastade i mörkret därutanför; där skall vara gråt och tandagnisslan.»
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].
Och Jesus sade till hövitsmannen: »Gå; såsom du tror, så må det ske dig.» Och i samma stund blev tjänaren frisk.
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.
När Jesus sedan kom in i Petrus' hus, fick han se hans svärmoder ligga sjuk i feber.
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].
Då rörde han vid hennes hand, och febern lämnade henne; och hon stod upp och betjänade 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.
Men när det hade blivit afton, förde man till honom många som voro besatta; och han drev ut andarna med sitt blotta ord, och alla som voro sjuka botade han,
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]
för att det skulle fullbordas, som var sagt genom profeten Esaias, när han sade: »Han tog på sig våra krankheter, och våra sjukdomar bar han.»
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 nu Jesus såg mycket folk omkring sig, bjöd han att man skulle fara över till andra stranden.
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.”
Och en skriftlärd kom fram och sade till honom: »Mästare, jag vill följa dig varthelst du går.»
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 svarade Jesus honom: »Rävarna hava kulor, och himmelens fåglar hava nästen; men Människosonen har ingen plats där han kan vila sitt huvud.»
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].”
Och en annan av hans lärjungar sade till honom: »Herre, tillstäd mig att först gå bort och begrava min fader.»
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.”
Då svarade Jesus honom: »Följ du mig, och låt de döda begrava sina döda.»
23 Then Jesus got into the boat. The disciples also got [in, and] they [started sailing close to the shoreline around Lake Galilee].
Och han steg i båten, och hans lärjungar följde honom.
24 Suddenly strong winds blew on the lake, and very high waves were splashing into the boat and filling it. But Jesus was sleeping.
Och se, då uppstod en häftig storm på sjön, så att vågorna slogo över båten; men han låg och sov.
25 They went and woke him up, and said [to him], “Sir/Lord, rescue [us!] We are about to drown!”
Då gingo de fram och väckte honom och sade: »Herre, hjälp oss; vi förgås.»
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.
Han sade till dem: »I klentrogne, varför rädens I?» Därefter stod han upp och näpste vindarna och sjön, och det blev alldeles lugnt.
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]!”
Och människorna förundrade sig och sade: »Vad är denne för en, eftersom både vindarna och sjön äro honom lydiga?»
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].
När han så hade kommit över till gadarenernas land på andra stranden, kommo två besatta emot honom, ut från gravarna där. Och de voro mycket våldsamma, så att ingen kunde färdas den vägen fram.
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]?”
Dessa ropade då och sade: »Vad har du med oss att göra, du Guds Son? Har du kommit hit för att plåga oss, förrän tid är?»
30 There was a large herd of pigs not far away, digging for food with their noses.
Nu gick där långt ifrån dem en stor svinhjord i bet.
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!”
Och de onda andarna bådo honom och sade: »Om du vill driva ut oss så låt oss fara in i svinhjorden.»
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.
Då sade han till dem: »Faren åstad.» Och de gåvo sig åstad och foro in i svinen. Och se, då störtade sig hela hjorden utför branten ned i sjön och omkom i vattnet.
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}.
Men herdarna flydde; och när de hade kommit in i staden, omtalade de alltsammans, och särskilt vad som hade skett med de besatta.
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 gick hela staden ut för att möta Jesus; och när de fingo se honom, bådo de att han skulle begiva sig bort ifrån deras område.
