Markus 9
1 Och han sade till dem: Sannerliga säger jag eder, någre äro ibland dem som här stå, de der icke skola smaka döden, tilldess de få se Guds rike komma med kraft.
He also said to [his disciples], “Listen carefully! Some of you who are here now will see God ruling powerfully in [many ways]. You will see it before you die!”
2 Och efter sex dagar tog Jesus Petrum, Jacobum och Johannem till sig; och hade dem allena upp på ett högt berg afsides, och vardt förklarad för dem.
A week later Jesus took Peter, James and [James’ younger brother] John and led them up a high mountain. [While they were] alone up there, he appeared very different to them.
3 Och hans kläder vordo klar, och ganska hvit såsom snö, att ingen färgare på jordene kan göra dem så hvit.
His clothes became dazzling white. They were whiter than anyone on earth could make them by bleaching them.
4 Och dem syntes Elias med Mose, och de talade med Jesu.
[Two prophets who had lived long ago], Moses and Elijah, appeared to them. Then the two of them began talking with Jesus.
5 Då svarade Petrus, sägandes till Jesum: Rabbi, här är oss godt att vara; låt oss göra här tre hyddor, dig en, Mosi en, och Elie en.
[After a short time], Peter [interrupted by] exclaiming, “Teacher, it is wonderful to be here! So allow us to make three shelters. One [will be] for you, one [will be] for Moses, and one [will be] for Elijah!”
6 Men han visste icke hvad han sade; ty de voro häpne vordne.
[He said this] because [he wanted to say something, but] he did not know what to say, because he and the other [two disciples] were very awestruck.
7 Och en sky kom, som öfverskyggde dem; och en röst kom utaf skyn, och sade: Denne är min käre Son; honom hörer.
Then a [shining] cloud appeared that covered them. [God] [EUP] spoke to them from the cloud saying, “This is my Son. I love him. [Therefore], listen to him!”
8 Och i det samma som de sågo sig om, sågo de ingen vara der när dem, utan allena Jesus.
When [the three disciples] looked around, they saw that suddenly Jesus was alone with them, and that there was no longer anyone [else] there.
9 Men då de gingo neder af berget, böd han dem, att de skulle ingom säga hvad de sett hade, förr än menniskones Son vore uppstånden ifrå de döda.
While they were coming down the mountain, Jesus told them that they should not tell anyone [yet] what had just happened to him. He said, “You may tell them after I, the one who came from heaven, (rise from the dead/become alive again) after I die.”
10 Och de behöllo det ordet när sig, och befrågade emellan sig, hvad det skulle vara, att han sade: uppstå ifrå de döda.
So they did not tell others about it [for a long time]. But they discussed among themselves what it meant when he said that he would (rise from the dead/become alive again) after he died.
11 Och de sporde honom, sägande: Hvad är det, som de Skriftlärde säga, att Elias måste komma först?
[The three disciples had just seen Elijah, but Elijah had not done anything to prepare people to accept Jesus. So] they asked Jesus, “The men who teach the [Jewish] laws say that Elijah must come back to the earth before [the Messiah comes to earth. But you have been here a long time and Elijah came just today. So is what they are teaching wrong?]”
12 Men han svarade, och sade till dem: Elias skall ju komma först, och sätta all ting i lag igen; och att menniskones Son skall mycket lida, och föraktad varda, såsom skrifvet är.
[Jesus wanted them to know that John the Baptizer was the one who represented Elijah. So] he answered them, “It is true that [God promised to send Elijah to come] first [so that people would be ready when I came]. Elijah’s representative has already come, and our leaders treated him very badly, just like they wanted to do, just like it was prophesied {[the prophets] prophesied} long ago. But, (I also want you to consider what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} in the Scriptures about me, the one who came from heaven./why have you not thought about what is written {what [the prophets] wrote} about me, the one who came from heaven?) [RHQ] It is written {They wrote} that I would suffer much and that I would be rejected {that [many people] would reject me}.”
13 Men jag säger eder: Elias är kommen, och de gjorde honom allt det de ville, såsom skrifvet var om honom.
14 Då han kom till sina Lärjungar, såg han mycket folk omkring dem, och de Skriftlärda disputerande med dem.
[Jesus and those three disciples] returned to where the [other] disciples were. They saw a large crowd around the other disciples and [some] men who taught the [Jewish] laws arguing with them.
15 Och straxt allt folket såg honom, vordo de häpne; och lupo till och helsade honom.
As soon as the crowd saw Jesus, they were very surprised [to see him come]. So they ran to him and greeted him.
16 Och han sporde de Skriftlärda: Hvad disputeren I med dem?
He asked them, “What are you arguing about?”
17 Och en af folket svarade, och sade: Mästar, jag hafver haft min son hit till dig, den der hafver en stum anda;
A man in the crowd answered him, “Teacher, I brought my son [here in order that] you [would heal him]. There is an evil spirit in him [that makes him] unable to talk.
18 Och då han tager honom fatt, far han illa med honom; och han fradgas, och gnisslar med sina tänder, och förtvinar. Jag talade med dina Lärjungar, att de skulle drifva honom ut; och de kunde icke.
Whenever the spirit attacks him, it throws him down. He foams at the mouth, he grinds his teeth together, and he becomes stiff. I asked your disciples to expel the spirit, but they were not able to do it.”
19 Då svarade han honom, och sade: O I otrogna slägte; huru länge skall jag vara när eder? Huru länge skall jag lida eder? Leder honom hit till mig.
Jesus replied by saying to those people, “(I am very disappointed that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]!/Why is it that [although you] have observed how I help people, you do not believe [that you are able to do anything]?) [RHQ] (I have been with you a long time, [and you still cannot do what I do]!/How long do I have to be with you [before you can do what I do]?) [RHQ] Bring the boy to me!”
20 Och de ledden fram till honom. Då anden fick se honom, straxt for han illa med honom; och föll neder på jordena, och välte sig, och fradgades.
So they brought the boy to Jesus. As soon as the evil spirit saw Jesus, it shook the boy severely, and [the boy] fell on the ground. He rolled around, and he foamed at the mouth.
21 Då sporde han hans fader till: Huru länge är, sedan detta kom honom uppå? Då sade han: Utaf barndom.
Jesus asked the boy’s father, “How long has he been like this?” He replied, “[This started to happen] when he was a child.
22 Och han hafver ofta kastat honom i elden, och i vattnet, att han måtte förgöra honom; men förmår du något, så varkunna dig öfver oss, och hjelp oss.
[The spirit does not only do this], but he also often throws him into the fire or into the water in order to kill him. But, pity us and help us, if you can!”
23 Jesus sade till honom: Om du tro kan; all ting äro möjelig honom, som tror.
Jesus exclaimed to him, “[Do not say] [RHQ] ‘If you can’, for [God/I] can do anything for people who believe [in him/me]!”
24 Och straxt ropade drängens fader, med gråtande tårar, sägandes: Herre, jag tror; hjelp mina otro.
Immediately the child’s father shouted, “I believe [that you can help me, but I do not believe strongly]. Help me to believe more strongly!”
25 När Jesus såg, att folket lopp till med, näpste han den orena andan, och sade till honom: Du ande, döfver och dumbe, jag bjuder dig, gack ut af honom, och gack intet mer härefter in uti honom.
Because [Jesus wanted to heal the boy before] the crowd got bigger, he rebuked the evil spirit, saying, “You evil spirit, you who are [causing this boy to be] deaf and unable to talk! I command you to come out of him and never enter him again!”
26 Så ropade anden, och for ganska illa med honom, och gick ut. Och han vardt som han hade varit död; så att månge sade: Han är död.
The evil spirit shouted, it shook the boy violently, and then it left the boy. The boy did not move. He seemed like a dead body. So many of the people there said, “He is dead!”
27 Då tog Jesus honom vid handena, och reste honom upp; och han stod upp.
However, Jesus took him by the hand and helped him get up. Then the boy stood up. [He was healed]!
28 Och när han kom hem i huset, frågade hans Lärjungar honom afsides: Hvi förmådde icke vi utdrifva honom?
Later, when Jesus and his disciples were alone in a house, one of them asked him, “Why were we not able to expel [the evil spirit]?”
29 Sade han till dem: Detta slägtet kan med ingen ting utfara, utan med bön och fasto.
He said to them, “You can expel this kind [of evil spirit] only by your praying [that God will give you the power to do it]. There is no other way that you can expel them.”
30 Och de gingo dädan, och vandrade genom Galileen; och han ville icke, att någor skulle vetat.
After [Jesus and his disciples] left that [district], they traveled through Galilee [district]. Jesus did not want anyone [else] to know [that he was in their area]; he did not want
31 Ty han underviste sina Lärjungar, och han sade till dem: Menniskones Son skall varda öfverantvardad i menniskors händer, och de skola döda honom; och då han är dödad, skall han på tredje dagen uppstå.
[anyone to interrupt him] as he taught his disciples. He was telling them, “[Some day my enemies] [SYN] will seize [MTY] me, the one who came from heaven, and I will be handed over [to other] men. Those men will kill me. But on the third day after I am killed {after they kill me}, I will become alive again!”
32 Men de förstodo intet hvad han sade, och torde icke spörja honom.
But they did not understand what he was telling them. Also, they were afraid to ask him about what he had said.
33 Så kom han till Capernaum; och när han var kommen i huset, sporde han dem: Hvad handladen I eder emellan i vägen?
Jesus and his disciples returned to Capernaum [town]. When they were in the house, he asked them, “What were you discussing [while we were traveling] on the road?”
34 Men de tigde; förty de hade handlat emellan sig i vägen, hvilken af dem ypperst var.
But they did not reply. [They were ashamed to reply] because, [while they were traveling], they had been arguing with each other about which one of them [would be] the most important [when Jesus became king].
35 Och då han hade satt sig, kallade han de tolf, och sade till dem: Hvilken som vill den främste vara, han skall vara ytterst af allom, och allas tjenare.
He sat down, he summoned the twelve disciples [to come close to him], and then he said to them, “If anyone wants [God to consider him] to be the most important person of all, he must [consider himself] to be the least important person of all, and he must serve everyone [else].”
36 Och så tog han ett barn, och ställde det midt ibland dem. Och då han hade tagit det i sin famn, sade han till dem:
Then he took a child and placed him among them. He took the child in his arms and then he said to them,
37 Hvilken som anammar ett sådant barn i mitt Namn, han anammar mig; och hvilken mig anammar, han anammar icke mig, utan honom som mig sändt hafver.
“Those who, [because they love] me, welcome a child like this one, [God considers that] they are welcoming me. So [it is as though] they are also welcoming [God], who sent me.”
38 Men Johannes svarade honom, sägandes: Mästar, vi sågom en utdrifva djeflar uti ditt Namn, och han följer oss icke; och vi förböde honom det, efter han icke följer oss.
John said to Jesus, “Teacher, we saw someone who was expelling demons, ([claiming he had] authority from you [to do that/while telling people] that you [have told him to do it]). So we told him to stop doing it because he was not one of us [disciples].”
39 Då sade Jesus: Förbjuder honom icke; ty ingen är den som gör krafter i mitt Namn, som snarliga kan tala ondt på mig;
Jesus said, “Do not tell him [not to do that]! For no one will speak evilly about me just after he performs a miracle while saying that I [have told him to do it].
40 Förty den der icke är emot oss, han är med oss.
Furthermore, those who are not opposing us are trying to [achieve the same goals that] we are.
41 Men hvilken som gifver eder dricka en bägare vatten, i mitt Namn, derföre att I Christo tillhören, sannerliga säger jag eder, han skall ingalunda mista sin lön.
Also think about this: Those [who belong to me who help you in any way, even] if they [just] give you a cup of water to drink because you follow [me], the Messiah, will certainly be rewarded [by God]!”
42 Och hvilken som förargar en af de små, som tro på mig, bättre vore honom, att vid hans hals hängdes en qvarnsten, och han bortkastades uti hafvet.
[Jesus also said], “But if you cause someone who believes in me to sin, [God will severely punish you], even if that person is [socially unimportant like] this little child. If someone tied a heavy stone around your neck and you were thrown {and threw you} into the sea, [you would consider that was a severe punishment. But God will punish you more severely] than that [if you cause a person who believes in me to sin].
43 Nu, om din hand vore dig till förargelse, hugg henne af. Bättre är dig enhändtan ingå uti lifvet, än att du hafver två händer, och far till helvetet, uti evig eld; (Geenna g1067)
[So], if you are [wanting to use one of] [MTY, PRS] [your hands to sin, stop using your hand! Even if you have to] cut your hand off and throw it away [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and that you live eternally, [even though you lack one of] your hands [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and as a result God throws your whole body into hell. There the fires never go out! (Geenna g1067)
44 Der deras matk icke dör, och elden icke utsläckes.
45 Och om din fot vore dig till förargelse, hugg honom af. Dig är bättre, att du ingår uti lifvet halter, än att du hafver två fötter, och varder kastad till helvetet, uti evig eld; (Geenna g1067)
If you are [wanting to use] one of [PRS] your feet to sin, [stop using your foot! Even if you have to] cut off your foot [to avoid sinning, do it] [HYP]! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, [even though] you lack one of your feet [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and go to hell. (Geenna g1067)
46 Der deras matk icke dör, och elden icke utsläckes.
47 Och om ditt öga vore dig till förargelse, rif det ut. Bättre är dig, att du enögder ingår uti Guds rike, än att du skulle hafva tu ögon, och bortkastas i helvetes eld; (Geenna g1067)
If because of what you see [MTY, PRS] you are tempted to sin, [stop looking at those things]! Even if you have to gouge out your eye and throw it away [HYP] [to avoid sinning, do it! It is good that you not sin and live eternally, even though you lack one of] your eyes [while you are here on earth]. But it is not good that you sin and, as a result, God puts your whole body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
48 Der deras matk icke dör, och elden icke utsläckes.
In that place people suffer forever and the fires are never put out {never go out}.”
49 Ty hvar och en måste med eld saltad varda, och allt offer måste med salt saltas.
“[You must endure difficulties in order that God will be pleased with you. Your difficulties are like] a fire [that makes things pure] [MET]. [Your enduring is also like] [MET] salt being put [on] {people putting salt on their} [sacrifices to make them pure].
50 Salt är ett godt ting; hvar nu saltet mister sin sälto, hvarmed skall man salta? Hafver salt uti eder, och hafver frid emellan eder inbördes.
Salt is useful [to put on food], but you cannot [RHQ] make salt to taste salty again if it becomes flavorless [MET]. Similarly, you must remain useful to God, [because no one can make you useful to God again if you become useless]. You must also live peacefully with each other.”
