Matthew 9
1 Jesus and his disciples got into the boat. They skirted around [the lake] and went to [Capernaum, the city where he was living].
So gjekk han ut i båten og for yver og kom til sin eigen by.
2 [Some men] brought to him a man who was paralyzed and who was lying on a sleeping pad. When Jesus perceived that they believed [that he could heal the paralyzed man], he said to him, “Young man, be encouraged! I forgive your sins.”
Då kom dei til honom med ein lam mann, som låg i ei seng. Då Jesus såg trui deira, sagde han til den lame: «Ver hugheil, son! Syndene dine er tilgjevne.»
3 Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws said among themselves, “[He claims that he can forgive sins! That means that he claims to be equal with God] He is insulting God!”
Då var det nokre av dei skriftlærde som tenkte med seg: «Denne spottar Gud!»
4 Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said, “(You should not think evil [thoughts], [accusing me because I claim that I am God]!/Why do you think evil [thoughts], [saying that it is wrong for me to claim that I am God]?) [RHQ]
Men Jesus såg tankarne deira og sagde: «Kvi hyser de so vonde tankar i hjarta?
5 It would [not] be risky [for someone] to say [to this man], ‘[I] forgive your sins’, [because no one could see whether or not it really happened]. But [no one, without having the power to heal], would say [to him], ‘[Get] up and walk!’, [because people could easily see whether it happened or not!] [RHQ]
Kva er lettast å segja: «Synderne dine er tilgjevne, » eller: «Statt upp og gakk?»
6 [So I am going to do something] in order that you may know that [God] has authorized [me], the one who came from heaven, to forgive the sins [of people while I am] on the earth, [as well as to heal people].” Then he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, pick up your sleeping pad, and go home!”
Men so de skal vita at Menneskjesonen hev magt til å tilgjeva synder på jordi» - so segjer han til den lame: «Statt upp, tak sengi og gakk heim att!»
7 And [immediately] the man got up, [picked up his sleeping pad], and went home!
Då stod han upp og gjekk heim til seg.
8 When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck. They praised God for giving authority to a human being [to do] such [things].
Og då folket såg det, vart dei ottefulle, og lova Gud som hadde gjeve menneskje slik magt.
9 As Jesus was going away from there, he saw me, a man named Matthew. I was sitting at a table where I collected taxes [for the Roman government]. He said to me, “Come with me [and become my disciple]!” So I got up and went with him.
Då Jesus gjekk lenger fram, fekk han sjå ein mann som sat på tollbudi - Mattæus heitte han - og sagde til honom: «Fylg meg!» Og han stod upp og fylgde Jesus.
10 [Then I invited] Jesus and his disciples to my home for a meal. While [they] were sitting and eating in my home, many tax collectors and [other people who were] {whom [the Pharisees]} [considered to be habitual] sinners came unexpectedly to eat with us.
Då han so heldt måltid heime i huset sitt, kom mange tollmenner og syndarar og sette seg til bords med Jesus og læresveinarne hans.
11 When the Pharisees saw [that, they came] to us disciples and said, “([It is disgusting that] your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners!/Why is it that your teacher, [who claims to be righteous], eats [and associates] with tax collectors and [other] sinners?)” [RHQ]
Farisæarane såg det og sagde til læresveinarne: «Kvifor et meisteren dykkar i lag med tollmenner og syndarar?»
12 Jesus heard what [they said], so he told them [this parable]: “[It is] people who are sick who need a [doctor] [MET], not people who are well.” [What he meant by that was that it was people who knew that they were sinners who were coming to him in order to be helped spiritually].
Då Jesus høyrde det, sagde han: «Det er ikkje dei friske som treng lækjar, men dei som hev vondt.
13 He continued by saying, “You need to learn what these words that [God said] mean: ‘I want you to [act] mercifully to people and not [just to offer] sacrifices.’ Keep in mind that I came [from heaven, not] to invite [people who think] [IRO] [that they are] righteous [to turn away from their sinful lives and come to me, but to invite people who know they are] sinners [to turn from their sins and come to me].”
Gakk burt og lær kva som ligg i det ordet: «D’er miskunn, ikkje offer, eg hev hugnad i.» For eg er ikkje komen for å kalla rettferdige, men syndarar.»
14 Later, the disciples of John [the Baptizer] came to Jesus and asked him, “We [(exc)] and the Pharisees [often] abstain from food [to show that we want to please God], but your disciples do not do that. Why [do they not]?”
Då kom læresveinarne åt Johannes til honom og sagde: «Korleis hev det seg at me og farisæarane fastar so mykje, men dine læresveinar fastar ikkje?»
15 [Jesus wanted to show them and the Pharisees that it was not appropriate for his disciples to abstain from food and mourn while he was still with them]. So he [gave them this illustration]: “When a bridegroom is with [his friends at the time of the wedding], (his friends certainly do not mourn, do they?/do his friends mourn?) [RHQ] [No, they do not mourn, because they are not sad at that time. But when] the bridegroom is taken {[someone] takes the [/his enemies] take the bridegroom} from them, they will abstain from food, [because then they will be sad].”
Jesus svara: «Kann bryllaupsfolket syrgja medan dei hev brudgomen hjå seg? Men det kjem ei tid då brudgomen vert teken ifrå deim; då skal dei fasta.
16 [Jesus wanted to show them that people who desire to live in accordance with his new message should not try to continue to obey the old religious traditions like] ([abstaining from food/fasting]) [MET]. [So he said to them], “People do not sew a patch of unshrunken cloth on an old garment [to mend a hole]. If they did that, [when they washed the garment], the patch would [shrink] and tear the garment, and the hole would become bigger.
Ingen set ein lapp av ustampa ty på eit gamalt klædeplagg; for boti riv med seg noko av sjølve plagget, og rifti vert større.
17 Neither does anyone pour freshly-[squeezed] grape juice into old skin bags [to store it]. If anyone did that, those skin bags would tear [because they would not stretch when the grape juice ferments and expands. They] would be ruined, and the wine would be spilled {spill} [on the ground]. Instead, [people] put new wine into new skin bags, [and the bags will stretch when the wine ferments]. As a result, both [the wine and the bags] are preserved.”
Og ikkje hev dei ny vin i gamle lerflaskor; for då rivnar flaskorne, so vinen renn ned, og flaskorne forferst; ny vin hev dei i nye lerflaskor; då held dei seg båe.»
18 While Jesus was saying that, a leader of the Jewish meeting place came and bowed down before him [to show respect]. Then he said, “My daughter just died! But if you come and lay your hand on her, she will live [again]!”
Med han tala soleis til deim, kom ein synagoge-forstandar og fall på kne for honom og sagde: «Rett no hev dotter mi slokna; men kom og legg handi di på henne, so livnar ho att!»
19 So Jesus got up, and he and [we] disciples went with the man.
Jesus gjorde seg reidug og gjekk med honom, og læresveinarne og.
20 Then a woman who [had been suffering constant vaginal] bleeding for twelve years came near Jesus. She was saying to herself, “[I want Jesus to heal me without anyone finding out that I have this problem of bleeding]. So if I [touch him] or even if I just touch his garment, I will be healed [without anyone finding out about it].” So she came behind him and touched the tassel of his garment.
Då kom det ei kvinna, som hadde havt blodflod i tolv år; ho gjekk innåt honom attantil og tok i ein av duskarne på kjolen hans,
for ho tenkte med seg: «Kann eg berre få taka i kjolen hans, so er eg berga.»
22 Then Jesus turned around [to see who had touched him]. And when he saw the woman, he said to her, “Be encouraged, dear woman. Because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you.” The woman was healed at that very moment.
I det same snudde han seg og såg henne. Då sagde han: «Ver hugheil, dotter! Trui di hev hjelpt deg.» Og kvinna vart god att i same stundi.
23 Then Jesus [and some of us disciples] came to the Jewish leader’s house. Jesus heard the flute players [playing funeral music] and the crowd [that had gathered] wailing loudly [because the girl had died].
Då Jesus kom heim til synagoge-forstandaren og såg fløytelåtarane og hopen som ståka og våla, sagde han til deim:
24 [Knowing that he would cause her to live again], he said [to them], “Go away [and stop the funeral music and wailing], because the girl is not dead! She is [just] sleeping!” [The people laughed at him, because they knew that she was dead].
«Gakk burt! Gjenta er ikkje slokna; ho søv.» Men dei berre log åt honom.
25 But Jesus told them to get out of the house. Then he went into [the room where the girl was lying]. He took hold of her hand and she [became alive again and] got up.
Då hopen var driven ut, gjekk han inn, og tok henne i handi, og gjenta stod upp.
26 And the [people of that] whole region heard [PRS] about it.
Og gjetordet um dette kom ut yver alle bygderne der ikring.
27 As Jesus went away from there, two blind men followed him and shouted, “Have mercy on us [and heal our eyes, you who are the Messiah], the Descendant of [King] David!”
Då Jesus gjekk burt att, fylgde tvo blinde etter honom og ropa: «Gjer sælebot på oss, du Davids son!»
28 Jesus went into the house, where he [was staying], and then the blind men went in, too. Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able [to heal your eyes]?” They said to him, “Yes, Lord!”
Og då han var komen heim, gjekk dei etter han inn. Jesus sagde til deim: «Trur de at eg kann gjera det?» «Ja, herre, » svara dei.
29 Then he touched their eyes and he said [to them], “Because you believe [that I can heal your eyes], I am healing them [right now]!”
Då tok han burtpå augo deira og sagde: «Det skal verta som de trur.»
30 And they were able to see [IDM]! Then Jesus told them sternly, “Be sure [IDM] that you do not tell anybody [what I did for you]!”
Og med ein gong kunde dei sjå. Jesus tala strengt til deim og sagde: «Sjå til at ingen fær vita det!»
31 But they went out and reported it throughout that whole region.
Men dei var’kje fyrr komne ut, fyrr dei bar gjetordet hans ut yver alle bygder.
32 When [Jesus and we disciples] left [the house], some people brought to Jesus a man who was unable to speak because he was controlled by a demon {a demon controlled him}.
Med same dei gjekk ut, kom det nokre folk til honom med ein mållaus mann som hadde ei vond ånd i seg.
33 After Jesus had expelled the demon, the man who had been unable to speak began to speak! The crowd [who saw this] marveled. They said, “Never before have [we seen] anything as [marvelous] as this happen in Israel!”
Då so den vonde åndi var drivi ut, tala den mållause. Og folk undra seg og sagde: «Aldri hev slikt vore set fyrr i Israel!»
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is [Satan], who rules the demons, who [enables this man to] expel demons [from people].”
Men farisæarane sagde: «Det er djevlehovdingen sjølv som hjelper honom til å driva djevlarne ut.»
35 Then [we] went [with] Jesus through many of [HYP] the cities and towns [in Galilee district. He was teaching (in the synagogues/in the Jewish meeting places)], and preaching the good message about how God rules [over people’s lives]. He also was healing the [people who had] various diseases and illnesses.
Sidan gjekk Jesus kring i alle byar og bygder og lærde folket i synagogorne deira, og lyste ut evangeliet um Gudsriket, og lækte all sjukdom og vanhelsa.
36 When he saw the crowd of people, he pitied them because they were harassed and dejected. [They were] like sheep that do not have a shepherd [SIM].
Og då han såg folkehopen, tykte han hjarteleg synd um deim; for dei var ille medfarne og nedforkomne, som ein saueflokk utan hyrding.
37 Then he gave [this illustration] to us disciples: “[The people who are ready to receive my message are like a] field that is ready to be harvested {for people to harvest}. But there are only a few [of you who are teaching people my message].
Då sagde han til læresveinarne sine: «Grøda er stor, men onnefolki er få.
38 So pray and ask the Lord [God] to send [more] workers [who will gather people together and teach them my message, just like a landowner sends workers] into his [field to gather] the [MET] harvest.”
Bed då honom som eig grøda at han vil senda arbeidsfolk til å hausta inn grøda si!»
