Så ble Jesus sendt av Ånden ut i ødemarken for å bli fristet av den Onde.

Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.

Etter å ha gått uten mat i førti dager og førti netter, følte han sult.

And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.

Den Onde kom til ham og sa: Hvis du er Guds Sønn, si at disse steinene skal bli til brød.

And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

Men han svarte: Det står skrevet, Mennesket lever ikke av brød alene, men av hvert ord som kommer fra Guds munn.

But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

Så tok den Onde ham med til den hellige byen; han satte ham på tempelets høyeste punkt og sa til ham,

Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

Hvis du er Guds Sønn, kast deg ned; for det står skrevet: Han skal gi sine engler befaling om deg, og på hendene skal de bære deg, så du ikke støter foten mot noen stein.

If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

Jesus sa til ham: Det står også skrevet: Du skal ikke sette Herren din Gud på prøve.

Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

Igjen tok den Onde ham opp på et meget høyt fjell og viste ham alle verdens riker og deres herlighet;

Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

og han sa: Alt dette vil jeg gi deg, hvis du faller ned og tilber meg.

And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

Da sa Jesus til ham: Bort fra meg, Satan! For det står skrevet: Du skal tilbe Herren din Gud og tjene bare ham.

Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.

Da forlot den Onde ham, og engler kom og tjente ham.

Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

Da Jesus fikk vite at Johannes var fengslet, dro han til Galilea;

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

og da han forlot Nasaret, bosatte han seg i Kapernaum ved sjøen, i Sebulons og Naftalis område,

And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:

for at det som er talt gjennom profeten Jesaja skulle bli oppfylt,

So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

Sebulons land og Naftalis land, ved veien til havet, på den andre siden av Jordan, hedningenes Galilea,

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

det folket som satt i mørket, har sett et stort lys, og for dem som satt i dødens skygge, har lyset gått opp.

The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

Fra den tiden begynte Jesus å forkynne: Omvend dere, for himmelriket er kommet nær.

From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

Da han gikk langs Galileasjøen, så han to brødre, Simon som også ble kalt Peter, og Andreas, broren hans, mens de kastet garn i sjøen; for de var fiskere.

And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

Han sa til dem: Følg meg, så skal jeg gjøre dere til menneskefiskere.

And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

Straks forlot de garnene sine og fulgte ham.

And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.

Da han gikk videre, så han to andre brødre, Jakob, sønn av Sebedeus, og Johannes, broren hans, i båten med faren sin, mens de reparerte garnene sine. Og han kalte dem.

And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

Straks forlot de båten og faren og fulgte ham.

And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.

Jesus dro rundt i hele Galilea, underviste i synagogene deres, forkynte evangeliet om riket og helbredet alle sykdommer og plager blant folket.

And Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and making well those who were ill with any disease among the people.

Ryktet om ham spredte seg gjennom hele Syria; og de brakte til ham alle som led av ulike sykdommer og plager, de som var besatt av onde ånder, de som var sinnssyke og lamme. Han helbredet dem.

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

Mange mennesker fulgte ham fra Galilea, Dekapolis, Jerusalem, Judea og fra den andre siden av Jordan.

And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.
