Lukas 8
1 Och det begaf sig derefter, att han vandrade i städer och byar, predikade och förkunnade Evangelium om Guds rike; och de tolf med honom;
Soon after that, Jesus went, along with his twelve [disciples], through various cities and villages. As they went, he was telling people the good message about how God wants (to have complete control/to rule) [MET] [over their lives].
2 Dertill några qvinnor, som han hade helbregda gjort ifrå de onda andar och krankheter, nämliga: Maria, som kallas Magdalena, af hvilka sju djeflar utgångne voro;
Some women from whom he had expelled evil spirits and healed of diseases also [went with him]. These included Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], from whom [he had expelled] seven evil spirits;
3 Och Joanna, Chuse hustru, Herodis fogdes, och Susanna, och många andra, som honom tjente af sina ägodelar.
Joanna, the wife of Chuza, who was one of [King] Herod [Antipas’] officials; Susanna; and many others. They were providing some of their own funds [to help Jesus and his disciples].
4 Då nu mycket folk kom tillhopa, och utaf städerna sökte till honom, talade han genom liknelse:
A large crowd of people came to Jesus from many towns. Then he told them this parable:
5 En sädesman gick ut till att så sina säd; och vid han sådde, föll somt vid vägen, och vardt förtrampadt, och foglarna under himmelen åto det.
“A man went out [to his field] to sow [some] seeds. As he was scattering them over the soil, some [of the seeds] fell on the path. Then [people] walked on those seeds, and birds ate them.
6 Och somt föll på hälleberget, och då det uppgick, förtorkades det; ty det hade ingen vätsko.
Some [of the seeds] fell on rock [on which there was a thin layer of] moist [soil]. As soon as the seeds grew, the plants dried up because they had no moisture.
7 Och somt föll ibland törne, och törnen gingo med upp, och förqvafde det.
Some [of the seeds] fell on [ground that contained roots of] thorny [weeds]. The thorny weeds grew [together] with the young plants, and [they] crowded out [those plants].
8 Och somt föll i goda jord; och det gick upp, och gjorde hundradefald frukt. Då han detta sade, ropade han: Den der hafver öron till att höra, han höre.
But some of the seeds fell on good soil and grew [well]. [Each seed later] produced 100 [grains].” Then Jesus called out to them, “If you want to understand [MTY] this, you must consider [carefully what I have just said]!”
9 Då frågade honom hans Lärjungar, hurudana denna liknelsen var.
Jesus’ disciples [later] asked him about the meaning of the parable [he had just told].
10 Han sade till dem: Eder är gifvet veta Guds rikes hemlighet, men dem androm genom liknelse; på det att, ändock de se, skola de likväl icke se, och ändock de höra, skola de likväl icke förstå.
He said, “God is revealing to you what he did not reveal before, about [how he wants to] rule [MET] [over people’s lives]. But when I am telling other people about [these things, I tell them] only in parables. The result will be [like a prophet predicted long ago]: They will see [what I am doing], but will not perceive [what it means]. They will hear [what I am saying], but will not understand [it].
11 Så är nu denna liknelsen. Säden är Guds ord;
So this is the meaning of that parable: The seeds [represent] God’s message.
12 Men de som vid vägen, det äro de som höra; sedan kommer djefvulen, och tager bort ordet utu deras hjerta, att de icke tro skola, och blifva frälste.
[Some people are like] the path on which some of [the seeds fell]. When these people hear God’s message, the devil comes and causes them to forget what they have heard. As a result, they do not believe it, and will not be saved {[God] will not save them}.
13 Men de som på hälleberget, det äro de som, när de höra, anamma de ordet med glädje, och de hafva inga rötter; de der tro till en tid, och då frestelsen påkommer, falla de derifrå.
[Some people are like] the [soil with] rock [underneath]. When they hear [God’s] message, they accept it joyfully. [But because it does not penetrate deeply] [MET] [into their inner beings], they believe it for [only] a [short] time. [They are like the plants that] did not have [deep] roots. When difficult things happen to them, they stop believing [God’s message].
14 Men det som föll ibland törnen, äro de som höra; och gå bort, och varda förqvafde af omsorger, och rikedomar, och lifsens vällust; och bära ingen frukt.
[Some people are like] the [soil that had roots of] thorny [weeds] in it. They are people who accept [God’s message], but later on they worry about things, and try to become rich, and enjoy [things that give them] a lot of pleasure. So they do not become [spiritually] mature.
15 Men det uti goda jord, äro de som höra ordet, och behålla det uti ganska godt hjerta; och bära frukt i tålamod.
But [some people are like] the good soil. They hear [God’s] message and accept it. They [become] good, honest people, and they continue doing things [that please God] [MET].”
16 Men ingen upptänder ett ljus, och skyler det under något kar, eller sätter under bänken; utan sätter det på ljusastakan, att de, som ingå, skola få se ljuset.
“After people light a lamp, they do not cover it with a basket or put it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a lampstand, so that those who enter [their house] can see [things from] its light [MET]. [Similarly, you must tell God’s truth to others so that they can know what I can do for them].
17 Ty det är intet lönligit, som icke skall varda uppenbart; och intet fördoldt, det icke skall kunnigt varda, och uppkomma skall i ljuset.
[God wants to] make clear all [of his truth] that was not evident previously. [He intends] that all of [the truth] that [he] had not revealed before be told openly {that [his people] openly tell [others] all [of the truth] that [he] has not revealed before}.
18 Ser fördenskull till, huru I hören; ty den der hafver, honom varder gifvet, och den der intet hafver, det han menar sig hafva, det skall ock tagas ifrå honom.
So listen carefully [to what I tell you], because [God] will enable those who accept [my truth] to [understand even] more. But [God] will cause those who do not accept [my truth] to not understand even [the little] that they think they have [understood].”
19 Så gingo till honom hans moder och hans bröder; och kunde dock icke komma till honom, för folkets skull.
[One day Jesus’] mother and his [younger] brothers came to see him, but they could not get near him because there was a large crowd [around him in the house].
20 Då vardt honom bådadt, och sagdt: Din moder och dine bröder stå härute, och vilja se dig.
Someone told him, “Your mother and your [younger] brothers are standing outside, wanting to see you.”
21 Svarade han, och sade till dem: Min moder och mine bröder äro desse, som höra Guds ord, och görat.
He replied, “Those who hear God’s message and obey it are [as dear to me] [MET] as my mother and my brothers.”
22 Så begaf det sig på en dag, att han steg uti ett skepp, med sina Lärjungar, och sade till dem: Låt oss fara öfver sjön. Och de lade utaf.
One day Jesus got into a boat with his disciples. He said to them, “Let’s go [around to] the other side of the lake.” So they started to go.
23 Sedan, vid de foro öfver, somnade han; och der reste upp ett stort väder på sjön; och de förfylldes, och voro i stor fara.
As they were sailing, he fell asleep. A big windstorm struck the lake. Soon the boat was filling with water, and they were in danger.
24 Så gingo de till, och väckte honom upp, sägande: Mästar, Mästar, vi förgås. Då stod han upp, och näpste vädret och vattnens våg; och så vände det igen, och blef stilla.
Jesus’ disciples woke him up. They said [to him], “Master! Master! We [(inc)] are going to drown!” He got up and rebuked the wind and told the waves to be calm. The wind [immediately] stopped blowing and the waves calmed down. [The lake] became calm.
25 Och han sade till dem: Hvar är edar tro? Men de fruktade, och förundrade, sägandes emellan sig: Ho må denne vara? Ty han bjuder både vädrena och vattnena; och de lyda honom.
He said to them, “(I [am disappointed that] you did not trust me [to help you]!/Why did you not trust me [to help you]?)” [RHQ] They were afraid. They were also amazed. They said to each other, “(What kind of man is this?/This man is not like ordinary men!) [RHQ] He [not only commands people, but] when he commands the wind and the water, they also obey him!”
26 Och de foro till de Gadareners ängd, hvilken är tvärt öfver Galileen.
Jesus and his disciples arrived at the region near Gerasa, a [town] which [was on the eastern] side of Lake [Galilee].
27 Och då han utgången var af skeppet på landet, mötte honom en man utaf staden, hvilken hade haft djefvulen i lång tid; och han hade inga kläder på, ej heller blef i husen, utan i grifter.
[There was] a man [in that region] in whom demons lived. [He was] from the town [of Gerasa]. (OR, [In that area there was] a man [from that town] whom demons controlled.) For a long time he had not worn clothes. He did not live in a house. Instead, he lived in burial caves.
28 Då han såg Jesum, ropade han, och föll ned framför honom, och sade med höga röst: Hvad hafver jag göra med dig, Jesu, dens högstas Guds Son? Jag beder dig, att du icke qväl mig.
Many times [demons] attacked him. He was guarded {[People] tried to guard him} [so that he would not injure others]. Chains were fastened {They fastened chains} on his hands and shackles on his feet, but he would break the chains and shackles. Then he would be sent away by the demons {the demons would send him away} to some desolate area. When Jesus stepped out of the boat onto the shore, the man saw him. He [ran to Jesus] and prostrated himself before him. Then Jesus commanded, “You evil spirit, come out of that man!” But it [did not leave immediately. Instead, it] caused the man to shout very loudly, “Jesus, Son of the great God in heaven, since we [(inc)] have nothing in common, [leave me alone] [RHQ]! I beg you, do not torture me [now]!”
29 Ty han böd dem orena andanom, att han skulle fara ut af mannenom; ty han hade länge plågat honom; och han vardt bunden i kedjor, och förvarad i fjettrar, och slet sönder banden, och vardt drifven af djefvulen bort i öknen.
30 Då frågade Jesus honom, och sade: Hvad är ditt namn? Han sade: Legio; ty månge djeflar voro inkomne i honom.
[In order to expel the demon more easily], Jesus asked [the demon], “What is your [(sg)] name?” He replied, “My name is Crowd/Mob.” [He said that] because many demons had entered that man.
[The demons] kept begging [Jesus] that he would not command them to go into the deep place [where God punishes demons]. (Abyssos g12)
32 Men der var en stor svinahjord, som der gick och födde sig på berget. Då bådo de honom, att han ville tillstädja dem fara in i svinen; och han tillstadde dem det.
There was a large herd of pigs (grazing/rooting for food) on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus that he allow them to enter the pigs. So he did.
33 Då foro djeflarna utu menniskone, och foro in uti svinen; och hjorden brådstörte sig uti sjön, och fördränkte sig.
The demons left the man and entered the pigs. Then the herd [of pigs] rushed down the steep bank into the lake and drowned.
34 Men när de, som vaktade svinen, sågo hvad der skedde, flydde de, och båro tidenden i staden, och på bygdena.
When the men who were taking care of the pigs saw what happened, they ran! They told people inside the town and outside the town what had happened.
35 Då gingo de ut, till att se hvad der skedt var, och kommo till Jesum; och funno mannen, der djeflarna utaf farne voro, klädd och vid sin sinne, sittandes vid Jesu fötter; och vordo förfärade.
So people went out to see what had happened. When they came to where Jesus was, they saw that the man from whom Jesus had [expelled] the demons was sitting at the feet of Jesus, [listening to him]. He had clothes on, and his mind was normal again. Then those people became afraid [because they thought that Jesus would destroy more of their property] (OR, [because they realized that he must be very powerful]).
36 Och de som det sett hade, förkunnade dem desslikes, huruledes den besatte var helbregda vorden.
The people who had seen what happened told those [who had just arrived] how [Jesus] had healed the man whom demons were controlling [before].
37 Och hele hopen af de Gadareners omliggande bådo honom, att han ville fara ifrå dem; ty dem var en stor räddhåge påkommen. Då steg han till skepps, och for tillbaka igen.
Then [those people and] many other people [HYP] from the area near Gerasa asked Jesus to leave their area. They were very afraid of [what else Jesus would do to them]. So [Jesus and the disciples] got into the boat to go back across the lake.
38 Men mannen, der djeflarna voro utaf farne, bad honom att han måtte blifva när honom. Men Jesus sände honom ifrå sig, sägandes:
The man from whom he had [expelled] the demons begged him saying, “[Please], let me go with you!” But [Jesus refused. Instead], he said to him,
39 Gack uti ditt hus igen, och säg utaf, huru stor ting Gud med dig gjort hafver. Och han gick bort, och förkunnade öfver hela staden, huru stor ting Jesus hade gjort med honom.
“[No], go home and tell people how much God has done for you!” Then he sent him away. So the man went away and told people throughout the nearby town how much Jesus had done for him.
40 Och det begaf sig, då Jesus kom igen, undfick honom folket; ty alle vänte efter honom.
When [Jesus and the disciples] returned [to Capernaum], a crowd of people who had been waiting for him welcomed him.
41 Och si, der kom en man, som het Jairus, och var en öfverste för Synagogon; han föll ned för Jesu fötter, bedjandes honom, att han ville gå i hans hus;
Just then a man named Jairus, who was one of the leaders (of the synagogue/of the Jewish meeting place) [there], came near and prostrated himself at Jesus’ feet. He pleaded with Jesus, “Please come to my house [and heal my daughter],
42 Ty han hade ena enda dotter, vid tolf åra gammal, och hon begynte själas; men i vägen, vid han gick dit, trängde honom folket.
my only daughter, who is about twelve years old, because she is dying!” As Jesus went with him, many people crowded close to Jesus.
43 Och en qvinna, som blodgång hade haft i tolf år, och hade förtärt allt hvad hon ägde på läkare, och kunde dock botas af ingom;
Then a woman came near. She had been suffering from constant [vaginal] [EUP] bleeding for twelve years, but she could not be healed by anyone {no one could heal her}.
44 Hon gick bakefter, och tog på hans klädefåll; och straxt stillades hennes blodgång.
She came behind [Jesus] and touched the edge of his robe [in order to be healed]. At once her bleeding stopped.
45 Och Jesus sade: Ho är den, som tog på mig? Då de alle nekade, sade Petrus, och de med honom voro: Mästar, folket tränger dig, och omakar dig, och du säger: Ho tog på mig?
Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When everyone said that they had not touched him, Peter said, “Lord, there is a large crowd of people around you [(sg)] and crowding against you, [so any one of them might have touched you]!”
46 Då sade Jesus: Någor hafver ju tagit på mig; ty jag kände, att kraft gick af mig.
But Jesus said, “[I know that] someone [deliberately] touched me, [because] my power has healed someone [who touched me].”
47 Då qvinnan såg, att det icke var lönligit, kom hon skälfvandes, och föll ned för hans fötter, och förkunnade för allo folkena, för hvad saks skull hon hade tagit på honom, och huruledes hon blef straxt helbregda.
When the woman realized that she could not prevent [Jesus] (OR, [people]) from knowing that [she was healed], her body began to shake. [She was afraid that because she had disobeyed the law that a woman with such a condition should not touch others, Jesus might scold her for doing that]. She prostrated herself before Jesus. As the other people were listening, she told why she had touched him and how she had been healed immediately.
48 Då sade han till henne: Var tröst, min dotter, din tro hafver frälst dig; gack med frid.
[Jesus] said to her, “(Ma’am/My dear woman), because you believed [PRS] [that I could heal you, I] have healed you. Go [from here, and may you experience God’s] peace [within you].”
49 Vid han ännu talade, kom en utaf öfverstans hus för Synagogon, sägandes till honom: Din dotter är död; gör icke Mästaren omak.
While he was still talking [to her], a man from Jairus’ house came and said to Jairus, “Your daughter has died. So (it is useless that you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]!/why do you bother the teacher any longer [by urging him to go to your house]?) [RHQ]”
50 Då Jesus hörde det ordet, sade han till pigones fader: Räds intet; utan tro allenast, och hon varder helbregda.
But when Jesus heard that, he said to Jairus, “Do not think that there is nothing more that can be done. Just believe that [I can help her. If you(sg) do that], she will live again.”
51 Då han kom i huset, stadde han ingom ingå med sig, utan Petrum, Jacobum och Johannem, och fadren och modren till pigona.
When they arrived outside Jairus’ house, Jesus allowed only Peter, John, James, and the girl’s mother and father to go in Jairus’ house with him.
52 Men de greto alle, och jämrade sig öfver henne. Då sade han: Gråter icke; pigan är icke död, men hon sofver.
All the people [there] were crying and beating their chests [to show that they were sad]. But, [knowing that he would cause the girl to live again], he said to them, “Stop crying! She is not dead! She is [just] sleeping [MET]!”
53 Då gjorde de spe af honom, väl vetande att hon var död.
The people laughed at him, because they knew that [the girl] was dead.
54 Men han dref dem alla ut, och tog henne vid handena, och ropade, sägandes: Piga, statt upp.
But [Jesus] took hold of her hand and called to her, saying, “Child, get up!”
55 Och hennes ande kom igen, och hon stod straxt upp; och han böd gifva henne mat.
At once her spirit returned [to her body] and she got up. Jesus immediately said, “Give her something to eat!”
56 Och hennes föräldrar förskräcktes. Men han böd dem, att de ingom säga skulle, hvad der skedt var.
Her parents were amazed, but Jesus told them not to tell anyone [else yet] what had happened.
