Matteuksen 16
1 Ja fariseukset ja saddukeukset tulivat hänen luoksensa ja kiusasivat häntä pyytäen häntä näyttämään heille merkin taivaasta.
[Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
2 Mutta hän vastasi ja sanoi heille: "Kun ilta tulee, sanotte te: 'Tulee selkeä ilma, sillä taivas ruskottaa',
He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
3 ja aamulla: 'Tänään tulee rajuilma, sillä taivas ruskottaa ja on synkkä'. Taivaan muodon te osaatte arvioida, mutta aikain merkkejä ette osaa.
[Early] in the morning [you say], ‘It will be stormy weather today, because the sky is red, and dark clouds have formed.’ You understand how to predict [the weather by looking at the sky], but you cannot [seem to look at what is happening] now, [and by that] understand [what God is doing].
4 Tämä paha ja avionrikkoja sukupolvi tavoittelee merkkiä, mutta sille ei anneta muuta merkkiä kuin Joonaan merkki." Ja hän jätti heidät ja meni pois.
[You] evil people have seen me [perform miracles] but you do not faithfully worship God [MET]. You want to see [me perform] a miracle [that would prove that God has sent me]. But [God] will [enable you to see] only one miracle. It will be [like] what happened [MET] to Jonah, [the prophet, who was inside a huge fish for three days and then came out of it to live again].” Then Jesus left them and sailed away, [along with us disciples].
5 Kun opetuslapset saapuivat toiselle rannalle, olivat he unhottaneet ottaa leipää mukaansa.
[We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
6 Ja Jeesus sanoi heille: "Varokaa ja kavahtakaa fariseusten ja saddukeusten hapatusta".
[Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
7 Niin he puhuivat keskenään sanoen: "Emme ottaneet leipää mukaamme".
Then, [not realizing that he was speaking figuratively], [we] said to one another, “[He must have said that] because we forgot to bring any bread!”
8 Mutta kun Jeesus sen huomasi, sanoi hän: "Te vähäuskoiset, mitä puhutte keskenänne siitä, ettei teillä ole leipää mukananne?
Because Jesus knew what [we were saying], he said [to us], “(I am disappointed that you are discussing among yourselves, [thinking] that [it was because] you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]./Why are you discussing among yourselves thinking that it was because you did not bring any bread [that I talked about the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees]?) [RHQ] You believe only a little [what I am able to do for you].
9 Ettekö vielä käsitä? Ja ettekö muista niitä viittä leipää viidelletuhannelle ja kuinka monta vakallista otitte talteen,
(You should understand [that I can continue to do miracles to provide for what you need./] you not yet understand [that I can provide miraculously for you if you need food]?) [RHQ] Do you not remember that 5,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] five small loaves [and the two fish? And after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [twelve] baskets [of left-over pieces] [RHQ]!
10 ettekä niitä seitsemää leipää neljälletuhannelle ja kuinka monta vasullista otitte talteen?
[Do you not remember] [RHQ] [that] 4,000 [people ate when I multiplied the] seven small loaves [and a few fish]? And [after everyone had enough to eat], you collected [seven] large baskets [of left-over pieces]
11 Kuinka te ette käsitä, etten minä puhunut teille leivästä? Vaan kavahtakaa fariseusten ja saddukeusten hapatusta."
(You should have understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast]./Why have you not understood that I was not speaking about [real] bread [that contains yeast?]) [RHQ] What I [was saying] was that you should [not accept what] the Pharisees and Sadducees [say, because it would affect you like] yeast [affects] [MET] [dough].”
12 Silloin he ymmärsivät, ettei hän käskenyt kavahtamaan leivän hapatusta, vaan fariseusten ja saddukeusten oppia.
Then we understood that he was not talking about the yeast that is [in] bread. Instead, [he was talking] about the [wrong] teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.
13 Kun Jeesus tuli Filippuksen Kesarean tienoille, kysyi hän opetuslapsiltaan sanoen: "Kenen ihmiset sanovat Ihmisen Pojan olevan?"
When Jesus came with [us] disciples to the region near Caesarea Philippi [town], he asked us, “Who do people say that I, the one who came from heaven, [really] am?”
14 Niin he sanoivat: "Muutamat Johannes Kastajan, toiset Eliaan, toiset taas Jeremiaan tahi jonkun muun profeetoista".
We answered, “Some [people say that you are] John the Baptizer, [who has come back to life again]. Others say [that you are the prophet] Elijah, [who has returned from heaven as God promised]. [Still] others [say that you are the prophet] Jeremiah or one of the [other] prophets [who lived long ago, who has come back to life again].”
15 Hän sanoi heille: "Kenenkä te sanotte minun olevan?"
Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
16 Simon Pietari vastasi ja sanoi: "Sinä olet Kristus, elävän Jumalan Poika".
Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
17 Jeesus vastasi ja sanoi hänelle: "Autuas olet sinä, Simon, Joonaan poika, sillä ei liha eikä veri ole sitä sinulle ilmoittanut, vaan minun Isäni, joka on taivaissa.
Then Jesus said to him, “Simon, son of Jonah, [God] is pleased with you. What you just said was not [SYN] revealed to you by any human. Instead, [it was] my Father [who lives] in heaven [who revealed this to you].
18 Ja minä sanon sinulle: sinä olet Pietari, ja tälle kalliolle minä rakennan seurakuntani, ja tuonelan portit eivät sitä voita. (Hadēs g86)
I will also tell you this: You are Peter, [which means rock]. [You are like] a rock. What you [and your fellow apostles teach] (OR, [what] you [do]) [will be like a foundation on which I] will create congregations of people who [believe in] me. And the demons [PRS], [who live] where the dead people who lived evil lives are, will not be able to [come and] prevent [MET] [me from doing] that.” (Hadēs g86)
19 Minä olen antava sinulle taivasten valtakunnan avaimet, ja minkä sinä sidot maan päällä, se on oleva sidottu taivaissa, ja minkä sinä päästät maan päällä, se on oleva päästetty taivaissa."
[Then, speaking to all of us, he said], “I will enable you [(pl)] to have authority [MTY] over the groups of people over whose lives [God] rules. Whatever you forbid regarding those people [MTY], it will have been forbidden by God. Whatever you permit [MET] regarding them, it will have been permitted by God.”
20 Silloin hän varoitti vakavasti opetuslapsiaan kenellekään sanomasta, että hän on Kristus.
Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
21 Siitä lähtien Jeesus alkoi ilmoittaa opetuslapsilleen, että hänen piti menemän Jerusalemiin ja kärsimän paljon vanhimmilta ja ylipapeilta ja kirjanoppineilta ja tuleman tapetuksi ja kolmantena päivänä nouseman ylös.
From that time Jesus began to teach [us] disciples that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem [city]. There the ruling elders, the chief priests, and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws would cause him to suffer and (be killed/die). Then on the third day [after that], he would become alive again.
22 Silloin Pietari otti hänet erilleen ja rupesi nuhtelemaan häntä sanoen: "Jumala varjelkoon, Herra, älköön se sinulle tapahtuko".
[Because Peter assumed that the Messiah would not suffer and die], he took Jesus aside and began to rebuke him [for talking about suffering and dying]. He said, “Lord, may [God] never permit that to happen to you! That must certainly not happen!”
23 Mutta hän kääntyi ja sanoi Pietarille: "Mene pois minun edestäni, saatana; sinä olet minulle pahennukseksi, sillä sinä et ajattele sitä, mikä on Jumalan, vaan sitä, mikä on ihmisten".
Then Jesus turned [to look at] Peter, and he said to him, “Stop talking to me [like that] [MTY]! [Stop saying what] Satan [MET] [would say, and stop] trying to prevent [from happening what God has planned]! You are a hindrance to me, because you are not thinking like God thinks. Instead, [you are thinking] like people [think]!”
24 Silloin Jeesus sanoi opetuslapsillensa: "Jos joku tahtoo minun perässäni kulkea, hän kieltäköön itsensä ja ottakoon ristinsä ja seuratkoon minua.
Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “If any one [of you] wants to be my disciple, you must not do [only] what you yourself want [to do]. [You] must be willing to [let people hurt you and disgrace you. That is like what they do to criminals whom they force to] carry a cross [MET] [to the place where the criminals will be executed. That is what anyone who wants to] be my disciple [must do].
25 Sillä joka tahtoo pelastaa elämänsä, hän kadottaa sen, mutta joka kadottaa elämänsä minun tähteni, hän löytää sen.
[You must do that], because those who try to save their lives [by denying that they belong to me when people want to kill them for believing in me] will not live [eternally], but those who are killed [because of being my disciples] will live [with God eternally].
26 Sillä mitä se hyödyttää ihmistä, vaikka hän voittaisi omaksensa koko maailman, mutta saisi sielullensa vahingon? Taikka mitä voi ihminen antaa sielunsa lunnaiksi?
People [might] get everything [they want] in this world, but ([if they do not become my disciples], they would really be gaining nothing [because] they would not get eternal life!/what would they gain [if they do not become my disciples and thus] do not get eternal life?) [RHQ] (There is absolutely nothing that people can give [to God] that would enable them to gain eternal life./What can people give [to God] that could enable them to gain eternal life?) [MTY, RHQ]
27 Sillä Ihmisen Poika on tuleva Isänsä kirkkaudessa enkeliensä kanssa, ja silloin hän maksaa kullekin hänen tekojensa mukaan.
[Listen carefully: I], the one who came from heaven, [will leave this earth, but] I will return, and the angels of heaven will accompany me. At that time I will have the glorious [radiance] that my Father has, and I will reward everyone according to what they did [when they were living on earth].
28 Totisesti minä sanon teille: tässä seisovien joukossa on muutamia, jotka eivät maista kuolemaa, ennenkuin näkevät Ihmisen Pojan tulevan kuninkuudessaan."
Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see [me], the one who came from heaven, when I return to rule. You will see this before you die!”
