Matteus 16
1 Då stego de Phariseer och Sadduceer fram, och frestade honom, begärandes att han ville låta dem se tecken af himmelen.
[Some] Pharisees and Sadducees came to [Jesus] and asked him [to perform] a miracle that would prove [that] [had sent him].
2 Men han svarade, och sade till dem: Om aftonen sägen I: Det blifver klart väder; förty himmelen är röd;
He answered them, “[In this country], in the evening you say, ‘[It will be] good weather [tomorrow], because the sky is red.’
3 Och om morgonen: Det blifver oväder i dag; ty himmelen är röd och olustig. I skrymtare, om himmelens skepelse kunnen I döma; kunnen I ock icke döma om tidsens tecken?
[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 Det vrånga och horiska slägtet söker efter tecken; och tecken skall icke gifvas dem, utan Jone Prophetens tecken. Och så öfvergaf han dem, och gick sin väg.
[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 Och när hans Lärjungar voro komne utöfver på den andra stranden, hade de förgätit taga bröd med sig.
[We] forgot to take bread when [we] sailed to another edge of [the lake].
6 Då sade Jesus till dem: Ser till, och förvarer eder för de Phariseers och Sadduceers surdeg.
[Then] Jesus said to us, “Beware [that you do not accept] the yeast [MET] that the Pharisees and Sadducees [distribute].”
7 Då tänkte de vid sig sjelfva, och sade: Vi hafve intet bröd tagit med oss.
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 När Jesus det förnam, sade han till dem: I klentrogne, hvad bekymrar det dock eder, att I icke hafven tagit bröd med eder?
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 Förstån I icke ännu, eller minnens, om de fem bröd emellan de femtusend män, och huru många korgar I upptogen?
(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 Icke heller om de sju bröd emellan de fyratusend män, och huru många korgar I då upptogen?
[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 Huru kommer det då till, att I icke kunnen förstå, att jag icke sade eder om bröd, ( då jag sade: ) I skolen förvara eder för de Phariseers och Sadduceers surdeg?
(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 Så förstodo de då, att han hade icke budit dem taga sig vara för bröds surdeg, utan för de Phariseers och Sadduceers lärdom.
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 Då kom Jesus i den ängden Cesarea Philippi, och frågade sina Lärjungar, och sade: Hvem säger folket mig, menniskones Son, vara?
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 Då sade de: Somlige Johannem Döparen, somlige Eliam, somlige Jeremiam, eller en af Propheterna.
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 Sade han till dem: Hvem sägen I mig då vara?
Jesus said to us, “[What about] you? Who do you say that I am?”
16 Då svarade Simon Petrus, och sade: Du äst Christus, lefvandes Guds Son.
Simon Peter said to him, “You are the Messiah! You are the Son of the all-powerful God.”
17 Då svarade Jesus, och sade till honom: Salig äst du, Simon, Jone son; ty kött och blod hafver dig det icke uppenbarat; utan min Fader, som är i himmelen.
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 Och jag säger dig igen, att du äst Petrus; och uppå detta hälleberget skall jag bygga mina församling; och helvetes portar skola icke varda henne öfvermägtige. (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 Och jag skall gifva dig himmelrikets nycklar. Allt det du binder på jordene, det skall vara bundet i himmelen; och allt det du löser på jordene, det skall vara löst i himmelen.
[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 Då böd han sina Lärjungar, att de skulle för ingen säga, att han var Jesus Christus.
Then Jesus warned [us] disciples strongly not to tell anyone [at that time] that he is the Messiah.
21 Ifrå den tiden begynte Jesus förkunna sina Lärjungar, huru han måste gå till Jerusalem, och lida mycket af de äldsta, och af de öfversta Presterna, och af de Skriftlärda; och dräpas, och tredje dagen uppstå igen.
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 Och Petrus tog honom afsides, och begynte straffa honom, och sade: Herre, skona dig sjelf; detta vederfares dig icke.
[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 Då vände han sig om, och sade till Petrum: Gack bort ifrå mig, du Satan; du äst mig till hinders; ty du besinnar icke det Gudi tillhörer, utan det menniskom tillhörer.
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 Då sade Jesus till sina Lärjungar: Hvilken som vill följa mig, han vedersake sig sjelf, och tage sitt kors uppå sig, och följe mig.
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 Ty hvilken som vill behålla sitt lif, han skall mista det; och hvilken som mister sitt lif, för mina skull, han skall finna det.
[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 Hvad hjelper nu det menniskone, om hon förvärfvar hela verldena, och får dock skada till sin själ? Eller hvad kan menniskan gifva, der hon kan igenlösa sin själ med?
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 Förty det skall ske, att menniskones Son skall komma i sins Faders härlighet, med sina Änglar; och då skall han löna hvarjom och enom efter hans gerningar.
[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 Sannerliga säger jag eder: Här äro någre ståndande, som icke skola smaka döden, tilldess de få se menniskones Son komma i sitt rike.
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!”
