Han sa til dem: "Sannelig, jeg sier dere, noen av de som står her, skal ikke smake døden før de ser Guds rike komme med kraft."

He said to them, "Most assuredly I tell you, there are some standing here who will in no way taste death until they see the Kingdom of God come with power."

Etter seks dager tok Jesus med seg Peter, Jakob og Johannes, og førte dem opp på et høyt fjell, alene for seg selv. Der ble han forvandlet foran dem.

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John, and brought them up onto a high mountain privately by themselves, and he was changed into another form in front of them.

Hans klær ble skinnende, så hvite som snø, slik ingen klesvasker på jorden kan gjøre dem.

His clothing became glistening, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

Elia og Moses viste seg for dem, og de snakket med Jesus.

Elijah and Moses appeared to them, and they were talking with Jesus.

Peter svarte Jesus og sa: "Rabbi, det er godt at vi er her. La oss lage tre telt: ett for deg, ett for Moses og ett for Elia."

Peter answered Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let's make three tents: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."

For han visste ikke hva han skulle si, for de var svært redde.

For he didn't know what to say, for they were very afraid.

En sky kom og dekket dem, og en stemme lød fra skyen: "Dette er min elskede Sønn. Lytt til ham."

A cloud came, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is my beloved Son. Listen to him."

Da de plutselig så seg rundt, så de ikke noen andre hos seg, bare Jesus alene.

Suddenly looking around, they saw no one with them any more, except Jesus only.

Mens de gikk ned fra fjellet, påla han dem å ikke fortelle noen hva de hadde sett, før Menneskesønnen var oppstått fra de døde.

As they were coming down from the mountain, he charged them that they should tell no one what things they had seen, until after the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

De holdt dette for seg selv, mens de undret seg over hva "oppstå fra de døde" betydde.

They kept this saying to themselves, questioning what the "rising from the dead" meant.

De spurte ham: "Hvorfor sier de skriftlærde at Elia først må komme?"

They asked him, saying, "Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

Han sa til dem: "Elia kommer virkelig først, og gjenoppretter alt. Men hvordan er det skrevet om Menneskesønnen, at han skal lide mye og bli foraktet?

He said to them, "Elijah indeed comes first, and restores all things. How is it written about the Son of Man, that he should suffer many things and be despised?

Men jeg sier dere at Elia allerede er kommet, og de har gjort med ham akkurat som de ville, slik det er skrevet om ham."

But I tell you that Elijah has come, and they have also done to him whatever they wanted to, even as it is written about him."

Da de kom til disiplene, så han en stor folkemengde omkring dem, og skriftlærde som diskuterte med dem.

Coming to the disciples, he saw a great multitude around them, and scribes questioning them.

Straks hele folkemengden så ham, ble de svært forundret og løp til ham for å hilse på ham.

Immediately all the multitude, when they saw him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.

Han spurte de skriftlærde: "Hva diskuterer dere med dem?"

He asked the scribes, "What are you asking them?"

En fra folkemengden svarte: "Mester, jeg brakte min sønn til deg, som har en stum ånd;

One of the multitude answered, "Teacher, I brought to you my son, who has a mute spirit;

og hvor ånden enn griper ham, kaster den ham til jorden, og han fråder og skjærer tenner, og visner bort. Jeg spurte dine disipler om å drive den ut, men de kunne ikke."

and wherever it seizes him, it throws him down, and he foams at the mouth, and grinds his teeth, and wastes away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, and they weren't able."

Han svarte dem: "Utro generasjon, hvor lenge skal jeg være hos dere? Hvor lenge skal jeg tåle dere? Bring ham til meg."

He answered him, "Unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me."

De brakte gutten til ham, og da ånden så ham, kastet den straks gutten over ende, og han falt på jorden og rullet rundt, frådende.

They brought him to him, and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground, wallowing and foaming at the mouth.

Han spurte guttens far: "Hvor lenge har dette pågått?" Han svarte: "Fra barndommen.

He asked his father, "How long has it been since this has come to him?" He said, "From childhood.

Mange ganger har den kastet ham i både ild og vann for å ødelegge ham. Men hvis du kan gjøre noe, ha medfølelse med oss og hjelp oss."

Often it has cast him both into the fire and into the water, to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us, and help us."

Jesus sa til ham: "Hvis du kan tro, alt er mulig for den som tror."

Jesus said to him, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes."

Straks ropte guttens far: "Jeg tror. Hjelp min vantro!"

Immediately the father of the child cried out with tears, "I believe. Help my unbelief!"

Da Jesus så at folkemengden stimlet sammen, truet han den urene ånden og sa: "Du stumme og døve ånd, jeg befaler deg, kom ut av ham, og gå aldri mer inn i ham!"

When Jesus saw that a multitude came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to him, "You mute and deaf spirit, I command you, come out of him, and never enter him again!"

Ånden skrek og ristet gutten kraftig, og kom ut av ham. Gutten ble liggende som død, slik at de fleste sa: "Han er død."

Having cried out, and convulsed greatly, it came out of him. The boy became like one dead; so much that most of them said, "He is dead."

Men Jesus tok ham ved hånden og reiste ham opp; og han sto opp.

But Jesus took him by the hand, and raised him up; and he arose.

Da de kom inn i huset, spurte disiplene ham: "Hvorfor kunne ikke vi drive den ut?"

When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we cast it out?"

Han svarte: "Denne type kan bare drives ut ved bønn og faste."

He said to them, "This kind can come out by nothing, except by prayer and fasting."

De gikk derfra og passerte gjennom Galilea, og han ønsket ikke at noen skulle vite det;

They went out from there, and passed through Galilee. He didn't want anyone to know it.

Han lærte sine disipler og sa til dem: "Menneskesønnen skal overgis i menneskers hender, og de skal drepe ham; og etter at han er drept, skal han oppstå på den tredje dag."

For he was teaching his disciples, and said to them, "The Son of Man is being handed over to the hands of men, and they will kill him; and when he is killed, on the third day he will rise again."

Men de forsto ikke dette utsagnet, og var redde for å spørre ham.

But they didn't understand the saying, and were afraid to ask him.

De kom til Kapernaum; og da han var i huset, spurte han dem: "Hva diskuterte dere på veien?"

He came to Capernaum, and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing among yourselves on the way?"

Men de var stille, for de hadde diskutert hvem som var den største på veien.

But they were silent, for they had disputed one with another on the way about who was the greatest.

Han satte seg ned, kalte de tolv til seg og sa til dem: "Om noen ønsker å være den første, skal han være den siste av alle og alles tjener."

He sat down, and called the twelve; and he said to them, "If any man wants to be first, he shall be last of all, and servant of all."

Han tok et lite barn og stilte det blant dem. Han tok det i armene og sa til dem:

He took a little child, and set him in the midst of them. Taking him in his arms, he said to them,

"Den som tar imot et slikt lite barn i mitt navn, tar imot meg; og den som tar imot meg, tar ikke imot meg, men ham som har sendt meg."

"Whoever receives one such little child in my name, receives me, and whoever receives me, doesn't receive me, but him who sent me."

Johannes sa til ham: "Mester, vi så en som drev ut demoner i ditt navn, og vi forbød ham, fordi han ikke fulgte oss."

John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone who doesn't follow us casting out demons in your name; and we forbade him, because he doesn't follow us."

Men Jesus sa: "Forby ham ikke, for det er ingen som gjør en mektig gjerning i mitt navn, som raskt kan tale ondt om meg.

But Jesus said, "Don't forbid him, for there is no one who will do a mighty work in my name, and be able quickly to speak evil of me.

For den som ikke er imot oss, er med oss.

For whoever is not against us is on our side.

For den som gir dere en kopp vann å drikke i mitt navn, fordi dere tilhører Kristus, sannelig sier jeg dere, han skal ikke miste sin lønn.

For whoever will give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because you are Christ's, most assuredly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.

Den som får noen av disse små som tror på meg til å snuble, ville det vært bedre for ham om en møllestein ble hengt om halsen på ham, og han ble kastet i sjøen.

Whoever will cause one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if he was thrown into the sea with a millstone hung around his neck.

Hvis din hånd får deg til å snuble, kutt den av. Det er bedre for deg å gå inn i livet lemlestet, enn å ha begge hendene og bli kastet i Gehenna, i den uslokkelige ild,

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna,{Gehenna is a word for Hell that originated as the name for a place where live babies were thrown crying into the fire under the arms of the idol, Moloch, to die. This place was so despised by the people after the righteous King Josiah abolished this hideous practice, that not only was it made into a garbage heap, but dead bodies of diseased animals and executed criminals were thrown there and burned.} into the unquenchable fire,

hvor deres mark ikke dør, og ilden ikke slukkes.

'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

Hvis din fot får deg til å snuble, kutt den av. Det er bedre for deg å gå haltende inn i livet, enn å bli kastet i Gehenna med begge føttene, i den uslokkelige ild,

If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life lame, rather than having your two feet to be cast into Gehenna, into the fire that will never be quenched--

hvor deres mark ikke dør, og ilden ikke slukkes.

'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

Hvis ditt øye får deg til å snuble, kast det ut. Det er bedre for deg å gå enøyd inn i Guds rike, enn å ha begge øynene og bli kastet i Gehenna,

If your eye causes you to stumble, cast it out. It is better for you to enter into the Kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the Gehenna of fire,

hvor deres mark ikke dør, og ilden ikke slukkes.

'where their worm doesn't die, and the fire is not quenched.'

For alle skal saltes med ild, og hvert offer skal krydres med salt.

For everyone will be salted with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

Salt er godt, men hvis saltet mister sin smak, med hva skal dere da salte det? Ha salt i dere selv, og vær i fred med hverandre."

Salt is good, but if the salt has lost its saltiness, with what will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."
