Luukkaan 11
1 Ja tapahtui, että hän rukoili yhdessä paikassa, ja kuin hän lakkasi, sanoi hänelle yksi hänen opetuslapsistansa: Herra, opeta meitä rukoilemaan, niinkuin Johanneskin opetti opetuslapsensa.
One day Jesus was somewhere praying. When he finished [praying], one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us [what to say when] we [(exc)] pray, as John [the Baptizer] taught his disciples!”
2 Niin hän sanoi heille: kuin te rukoilette, niin sanokaat: Isä meidän, joka olet taivaissa. Pyhitetty olkoon sinun nimes. Lähestyköön sinun valtakuntas. Tapahtukoon sinun tahtos niin maassa, kuin taivaassa.
He said to them, “When you pray, say [things like this]: ‘Father, we want you [(sg)] [MTY] to be honored/revered. [We want people to let you(sg)] [MTY, MET] rule over their lives.
3 Anna meille tänäpäivänä meidän jokapäiväinen leipämme.
Give us [(exc)] each day the food [SYN] that we need.
4 Ja anna meille meidän syntimme anteeksi, sillä mekin kaikille meidän velvollisillemme anteeksi annamme. Ja älä johdata meitä kiusaukseen. Mutta päästä meitä pahasta.
Forgive us [for] the wrong things that we have done, because we forgive people for the wrong things that they do to us. Do not let us do wrong things when we are tempted {[someone or something] tempts us}.’”
5 Ja hän sanoi heille: kellä teistä on ystävä, ja menee puoliyöstä hänen tykönsä, ja sanoo hänelle: ystäväni, lainaas minulle kolme leipää;
Then he said to them, “Suppose that one of you goes to the house of a friend at midnight. Suppose that you [(sg) stand outside and] call out to him, ‘My friend, please lend me three buns!
6 Sillä minun ystäväni tuli matkasta minun tyköni, ja ei minulla ole, mitä minä panen hänen eteensä.
Another friend of mine who is traveling has just arrived [at my house], but I have no food [ready] to give to him!’
7 Ja hän vastaa huoneestansa ja sanoo: älä minua vaivaa! ovi on jo suljettu, ja minun lapseni minun kanssani ovat vuoteessa: en minä voi nousta sinulle antamaan.
Suppose that he answers you from inside [his house], ‘Do not bother me! The door has been locked {[We(exc)] have locked the door} and all my family are in bed. [So] I cannot get up and give you [(sg)] anything!’
8 Minä sanon teille: ellei hän nouse ja anna hänelle, että hän on hänen ystävänsä, niin hän kuitenkin hänen ahkeruutensa tähden nousee ja antaa hänelle niin monta kuin hän tarvitsee.
I will tell you that even if he does not [want to] get up and give you [any food], to avoid being ashamed [for not helping you] because you are his friend (OR, if without being ashamed you continue asking him to do that), he certainly will get up and give you whatever you need.
9 Ja minä myös sanon teille: anokaat, niin teille annetaan: etsikäät, niin te löydätte: kolkuttakaat niin teille avataan.
So I tell you this: Keep asking [God for what you need]. If you do that, [he] will give it to you [(pl)]. Confidently keep expecting [God to give you the things that you need], and [he] will give them to you [MET]. [It will be like] looking for what you need and finding it. Keep on [praying urgently to God. Then God will answer you. It will be like] knocking [on a door] so that [God] will open [the way] for you [to get what you pray for].
10 Sillä jokainen joka anoo, se saa, ja joka etsii, se löytää, ja joka kolkuttaa, sille avataan.
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 urgently praying for].
11 Kuka teista on isä, jolta poika anoo leipää, antaako hän hänelle kiven? eli jos hän anoo kalaa, antaako hän kalan edestä hänelle kärmeen?
If one of you had a son who asked you [(sg)] for a fish [to eat], (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a [poisonous] snake instead!/would you give him a [poisonous] snake instead?) [RHQ]
12 Eli jos hän anoo munaa, antaako hän hänelle skorpionin?
If he asked you for an egg, (you [(sg)] certainly would not give him a scorpion!/would you give him a scorpion?) [RHQ]
13 Jos siis te, jotka pahat olette, taidatte hyviä lahjoja antaa teidän lapsillenne, paljoa enemmin teidän taivaallinen Isänne antaa Pyhän Hengen sitä anovaisille.
Even though you people are evil, you know how to give good things to your children. So your Father in heaven will certainly [give good things] to those who ask him, [including] giving the Holy Spirit, [who is the best gift].”
14 Ja hän ajoi ulos perkeleen, joka oli mykkä. Ja tapahtui, kuin perkele oli ajettu ulos, niin mykkä puhui ja kansa ihmetteli.
[One day there was a man there who, because a demon controlled him] [MTY], was unable to speak. After [Jesus expelled] the demon, the man [began to] talk. [Most of] the people [there] were amazed.
15 Mutta muutamat heistä sanoivat: hän ajaa ulos perkeleitä beelsebubun, perkeliden päämiehen kautta.
But some of them said, “It is Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons, who enables [this man] to expel demons!”
16 Mutta muut kiusasivat häntä ja anoivat häneltä tunnustähteä taivaasta.
Other [people there] asked Jesus to perform a miracle [to prove (he was the Messiah/that he had come] from God) [MTY/EUP]. They wanted to trap him [into not being able to perform a miracle or into doing something ridiculous].
17 Mutta että hän tiesi heidän ajatuksensa, sanoi hän heille: jokainen valtakunta, joka erkanee itsiänsä vastaan, se tulee kylmille, ja huone lankee huoneen päälle.
But Jesus knew what they were thinking. So he said to them, “If [the people in] one nation fight against each other, their nation will be destroyed {[they] will destroy their nation}. If [the people in] [MTY] one house are divided, they will cease to remain as one [family].
18 Jos myös saatana on erinnyt itsiänsä vastaan, kuinka hänen valtakuntansa on seisovainen? että te sanotte minun perkeleitä belsebubin kautta ajavan ulos.
[Similarly], if Satan [and his demons] were fighting against each other, (his rule over them would [certainly] not last!/how would his rule over them last?) [RHQ] [I say this] because you are saying that I am expelling demons by [the power of] the ruler of [his own demons]
19 Mutta jos minä perkeleitä belsebubin kautta ajan ulos, kenenkä kautta teidän poikanne niitä ajavat ulos? Sentähden heidän pitää oleman teidän tuomarinne.
Furthermore, if [it is true that] Satan enables me to expel demons, [is it also true that] your disciples [who] expel demons [do so] by [Satan’s] power [RHQ]? [No, that is not true]. So they will show that you [are not thinking logically].
20 Mutta jos minä Jumalan sormella perkeleitä ajan ulos, niin tosin on Jumalan valtakunta teidän tykönne tullut.
But because it is by the power [MTY] of God [that I expel demons], I am showing you [that the power of] God to [MET] rule [people’s lives] has come to you.”
21 Kuin väkevä haarniskoitu kotonsa varjelee, niin hänen omansa ovat rauhassa.
Then, [to show that by expelling evil spirits he was making it clear that he was much more powerful than Satan, Jesus said] [MET], “When a strong man who has many weapons guards his own house, no one can steal the things in his house.
22 Mutta kuin häntä väkevämpi tulee ja voittaa hänen, niin hän ottaa pois kaikki hänen sota-aseensa, joihin hän turvasi, ja jakaa hänen saaliinsa,
But when someone else who is stronger attacks that man and subdues him, he is able to take away the weapons in which the man trusted. Then he can take from that man’s house anything he [wants to].
23 Joka ei ole minun kanssani, se on minua vastaan, ja joka ei minun kanssani kokoo, hän hajoittaa.
[No one can be neutral]. Those who do not help me [are opposing] me, and those who do not gather [people to become] my [disciples] are causing [those people] to go away [from me].”
24 Kuin rietas henki lähtee ihmisestä, niin hän vaeltaa karkeita paikkoja, ja etsii lepoa; ja kuin ei hän löydä, niin hän sanoo: minä palajan minun huoneeseni, josta minä läksin.
[Then Jesus said this]: “[Sometimes when] an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders around in desolate areas seeking [someone in whom it can] rest. If it does not find anyone, it says [to itself], ‘I will return to the person in whom I used to live!’
25 Ja kuin hän tulee, löytää hän sen luudilla lakaistuksi ja kaunistetuksi.
So it goes back and finds that [the Spirit of God is not in control of that person’s life. The person’s life is like] a house that has been {that someone has} swept clean and everything put {put everything} in order, [but a house that is empty].
26 Silloin hän menee ja ottaa kanssansa seitsemän muuta häntä pahempaa henkeä, ja kuin he sinne tulevat, asuvat he siellä: ja sen ihmisen viimeiset tulevat pahemmiksi kuin ensimmäiset.
Then [this evil spirit] goes and gets seven other spirits that are [even] more evil than it is. They [all] enter [that person] and [begin] living there. [So], [although] that person’s condition [was bad] before, it became much worse.”
27 Ja tapahtui, kuin hän näitä sanoi, korotti yksi vaimo kansan seasta äänensä ja sanoi: autuas on se kohtu, joka sinun kantanut on, ja ne nisät, joitas imit.
When Jesus said that, a woman who was listening called out [to him], “[God is] pleased with the woman who gave birth to you [(sg)] and let you nurse [at her breasts]!”
28 Niin hän sanoi: ja tosin, autuaat ovat ne, jotka kuulevat Jumalan sanan ja kätkevät sen.
But he replied, “God [is] much more pleased with those who hear his message and obey it!”
29 Mutta kuin kansa kokoon tuli, rupesi hän sanomaan: tämä sukukunta on paha, etsii merkkiä, ja ei hänelle anneta merkkiä, vaan Jonan prophetan merkki.
When the group of people around [Jesus] got larger, he said, “[Many of] you people who have been observing my ministry are evil. You want [me to perform] a miracle [to prove that I have come from God], but the only miracle that [I] will perform for you is one [like happened to] Jonah.
30 Sillä niinkuin Jona oli Niniveläisille merkiksi, niin pitää myös Ihmisen Poika oleman tälle sukukunnalle.
[After Jonah was inside a huge fish for three days, God performed] a miracle [to restore] Jonah. [Jonah then went and testified about that] to the people in Nineveh [city. God will perform] a similar miracle [for me], the one who came from heaven. [When you people have seen that miracle, you will believe my message].
31 Etelän kuningatar pitää nouseman tuomiolle tämän sukukunnan miesten kanssa, ja heitä tuomitseman: sillä hän oli maan ääristä kuuleman Salomonin viisautta, ja katso, tässä on enempi kuin Salomon.
[Long ago the] queen from [Sheba], [far] south [of Israel, traveled a long distance to hear Solomon speak many] wise things. But now [I, a man] who [is much] greater [and wiser] than Solomon, am here, [but you have not listened to what I have told you]. Therefore, at the time when [God] judges [all people], the queen from [Sheba] will stand there, [along] with you people, and will condemn you.
32 Niniven miehet pitää tuleman tuomiolle tämän sukukunnan kanssa, ja sen kadottaman; sillä he tekivät parannuksen Jonan saarnasta, ja katso tässä on enempi kuin Jona.
The people who lived in Nineveh [city] turned from their sinful ways when Jonah preached to them. But now I, who am greater than Jonah, have come [and preached to you], [but you have not turned from your sinful ways]. Therefore, at the time when God judges [all people], the people who lived in Nineveh will stand there with you and condemn you.”
33 Ei sytytä kenkään kynttilää ja pane kätköön eikä vakan alle, mutta kynttiläjalkaan, että sisälle tulevaiset valkeuden näkisivät.
[Then, to show them that they did not need more miracles, but that they needed only to understand better what he had already told them, he said to them] [MET], “People who light a lamp do not then hide it, or put it under a basket. Instead, they put it on a lampstand so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light. [Similarly, I have not concealed God’s truth. I have revealed it to you].
34 Silmä on ruumiin valkeus: kuin siis sinun silmäs on yksinkertainen, niin myös koko sinun ruumiis on valaistu; mutta kuin se paha on, niin myös sinun ruumiis on pimiä.
Your eyes [MET] are like a lamp for your body, because they enable you to see things. If your eyes are healthy, you are able to see everything well [MET]. [Similarly, if you(sg) accept my teaching, you will be able to know all that God wants you to know]. But if your eyes are bad, you are not able to see anything. It is like being in darkness [MET]. [And similarly, if you(pl) do not accept what I teach, you will not be able to know all the things that God wants you to know].
35 Katso siis, ettei se valkeus, joka sinussa on, olisi pimeys.
Therefore, [you(pl) do not need to see more miracles. You need to think carefully about what I have already] told you, so that the things that you have heard from others do not cause you to remain in spiritual darkness [MET].
36 Sentähden jos koko sinun ruumiis on valaistu, ja ei ole siinä yhtään pimiää paikkaa, niin se tulee kokonansa valaistuksi, koska valkeus niinkuin kirkkaalla leimauksella sinun valaisee.
If you [live completely according to God’s truth, you will be able to know everything that God wants you to know. It will be like] being in a room with a lamp shining brightly, enabling you to see everything clearly.”
37 Ja hänen puhuissansa rukoili häntä yksi Pharisealainen ruoalle kanssansa; niin hän meni ja atrioitsi.
While Jesus finished saying those things, a Pharisee invited him to eat a meal with him. So Jesus went to [his house] and ate with him.
38 Mutta kuin Pharisealainen näki, ihmetteli hän, ettei hän ensin itsiänsä pessyt ennen ruan aikaa.
The Pharisee was surprised when he saw that Jesus did not follow the Pharisees’ ritual by washing his hands before eating. [The Pharisees washed their hands in a certain way to be cleansed from anything that might have contaminated them. They were afraid that God might reject them if they] had [touched something unacceptable to God].
39 Niin sanoi Herra hänelle: nyt te Pharisealaiset, ulkoa te maljan ja vadin puhdistatte, mutta sisälliset teissä ovat täynnä raatelusta ja pahuutta.
The Lord [Jesus] said to him, “You Pharisees are [concerned about things that are outside your bodies, not with what is in your] ([inner beings/hearts]) [MET]. You wash the outside of cups and dishes [before you eat because you think that doing that will make you acceptable to God], but within yourselves you are very greedy and wicked.
40 Te hullut, eikö se, joka ulkoisen puolen teki, tehnyt myös sisälmäistä puolta?
You foolish people! [God] is concerned about things that are outside [our bodies], but (he is certainly also concerned about our inner [beings]!/isn’t he also concerned about our hearts?) [RHQ]
41 Kuitenkin antakaa almua niistä, mitä teillä on, ja katso, niin teille ovat kaikki puhtaat.
Give [money] to those who are poor. [Give according to what you know within] your (inner [/heart]) [that you should give]. Then you [will be surprised to realize that] you will be acceptable [to God without having to perform all those rituals about washing].
42 Mutta voi teitä, te Pharisealaiset! että te kymmenykset teette mintuista ja ruutasta, ja kaikkinaisista kaaleista, ja jätätte pois tuomion ja Jumalan rakkauden: näitä piti tehtämän, ja toisia ei jätettämän.
But there will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees! You give to God a tenth of [all you produce, even] the various herbs that you grow, but you do not [remember that you must act] justly [toward others] and love God! It is good to [give a tenth of your income to God], but you ought to do these other things also!
43 Voi teitä, te Pharisealaiset! jotka rakastatte ylimmäisiä istuimia synagogissa ja tervehdyksiä turulla.
There will be terrible punishment for you Pharisees, because you like [to sit in] the best seats in our worship places [so that people will think highly of you], and you like people to greet you [respectfully] in the marketplaces.
44 Voi teitä, te kirjanoppineet ja Pharisealaiset, te ulkokullatut! sillä te olette niinkuin peitetyt haudat, joiden päällä ihmiset tietämättä käyvät.
There will be terrible punishment for you, because you are like ground where there is no marker [to indicate that there is a] grave [underneath]. People walk there, but they cannot see [what is rotten down below] [MET]! [Similarly, people who see you do not realize how polluted you are within yourselves].”
45 Niin vastasi yksi lainoppineista ja sanoi hänelle: Mestari, näillä sanoilla sinä myös meitä pilkkaat.
One of those who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, by saying this you [(sg)] are criticizing us [also]!”
46 Niin hän sanoi: voi teitäkin, te lainoppineet! sillä te raskautatte ihmiset kuormilla, jotka ovat työläät kantaa, ja ette itse yhdellä sormellannekaan tahdo niihin kuormiin ruveta.
Jesus said, “It will be terrible also for you who teach the [Jewish] laws! You require people [to obey many rules that are difficult to obey] [MET]. [That is like making them] carry heavy burdens on their backs. But you yourselves do not obey the laws [that you require others to obey]. (OR, you do not do anything to help [others to obey the laws].)
47 Voi teitä, että te rakennatte prophetain hautoja, mutta tiedän isänne tappoivat ne.
There will be terrible punishment for you! You decorate the tombs of the prophets whom your ancestors killed, [but you do not live according to what the prophets taught].
48 Niin te tosin todistatte ja suostutte teidän isäinne töihin; sillä he tappoivat ne, mutta te rakennatte niiden haudat.
So you are declaring that you approve of what your ancestors did. They killed the prophets, and you [are not honoring the prophets! You just] decorate their tombs!
49 Sentähden myös Jumalan viisaus sanoi: minä lähetän heidän tykönsä prophetat ja apostolit, ja muutamat niistä he tappavat ja vainoovat:
So God, who is very wise [PRS], said, ‘I will send prophets and apostles [to you Jews]. [You] will kill some of them and cause some of them to suffer greatly.
50 Että tältä sukukunnalta pitää etsittämän kaikkein prophetain veri, joka on vuodatettu maailman alusta,
[As a result, I] will consider that many of you people [who have observed my Son’s ministry] will be guilty [MTY] [of murder, as if you had] killed all the prophets that other people have killed, from the time I created the world,
51 Abelin verestä hamaan Sakariaan vereen asti, joka hukattiin alttarin ja templin vaiheella; tosin minä sanon teille, se pitää etsittämän tältä sukukunnalta.
starting from [Adam’s son Cain] killing [his brother] Abel and continuing until they killed the prophet Zechariah [in the holy place] between the altar and the temple.’ Yes, what I am saying [is true] [MTY]. [God] will punish you people who have observed my ministry, you people whom [he] considers to be guilty [MTY] for [killing] all those prophets!
52 Voi teitä lainoppineet! sillä te olette ottaneet taidon avaimen: itse ette menneet sisälle, ja sisälle meneväisiä te kielsitte.
There will be terrible punishment for you men who teach the [Jewish] laws, because you have [not let people] know [God’s truth] [MET]! [It is as though you are] taking away a key [to a house]. You are not going into [the house] yourselves, and you are not letting other people enter it, either.”
53 Mutta kuin hän oli nämät heille sanonut, rupesivat lainoppineet ja Pharisealaiset kovin häntä ahdistamaan ja viettelemään häntä puhumaan monesta,
After Jesus finished saying those things, he left there. Then the men who taught the [Jewish] laws and the Pharisees began to act in a very hostile way toward him. They tried to make him say what he thought about many things.
54 Ja väijyivät häntä ja pyysivät jotakin onkia hänen suustansa, kantaaksensa hänen päällensä.
They kept waiting for him to say something [wrong] for which they could accuse him.
