Matteus 4
Swedish New Living Bible (Nya Levande Bibeln)
Djävulen frestar Jesus i öknen
4 Sedan blev Jesus ledd ut i öknen av den helige Ande för att djävulen där skulle sätta honom på prov.
2 Under fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter åt han ingenting, och han blev till sist mycket hungrig.
3 Då kom djävulen till honom och frestade honom. Gör bröd av dessa stenar, sa han. Det kommer att bevisa att du är Guds Son.
4 Men Jesus sa till honom: Nej! Skriften säger att ingen kan leva av bara bröd. Bara den som tar emot Guds ord och följer det blir mätt.
5 Sedan tog djävulen honom med till Jerusalem och ställde honom högst uppe på tempelmuren.
6 Hoppa ner, sa han, och bevisa att du är Guds Son! Skriften säger ju: Gud ska sända sina änglar för att skydda dig. De kommer att hindra dig från att krossas mot stenarna här nedanför.
7 Men Jesus svarade skarpt: Skriften säger också att man inte ska utmana Herren Gud med dåraktiga handlingar.
8 Sedan tog djävulen honom till toppen av ett mycket högt berg och visade honom världens alla länder med all deras prakt.
9 Jag ska ge dig alltsammans, sa han, om du bara böjer knä och tillber mig.
10 Försvinn, Satan, svarade Jesus honom. För Skriften säger: 'Du ska bara tillbe Herren, din Gud, och lyda honom.'
11 Då gick djävulen sin väg, och änglar kom till Jesus för att betjäna honom.
Jesus beger sig till Galileen för att predika
12-13 När Jesus hörde att Johannes hade blivit fängslad, lämnade han Judeen och återvände till Galileen. Men han slog sig inte ner i sin hemstad Nasaret, utan flyttade till Kafarnaum vid Galileiska sjön, nära det område där de båda stammarna Sebulon och Naftali levde.
14 Därmed uppfylldes det som profeten Jesaja hade sagt:
15 Sebulons land och Naftalis land, utmed sjön, och området bortom floden Jordan, och övre Galileen med dess många olika folkslag -
16 det folk som bodde där i mörkret fick se ett stort ljus. De satt i dödens land, men ett strålande ljus gick upp över dem.
17 Från och med nu började Jesus predika och han sa: Lämna synden, och vänd er till Gud för himmelriket är nära.
Fyra fiskare följer med Jesus
18 En dag när han vandrade längs Galileiska sjön fick han se två bröder: Simon (som senare fick namnet Petrus) och Andreas. De var fiskare till yrket och höll på att lägga ut nät.
19 Jesus ropade till dem: Kom med mig så ska jag visa er hur man fiskar människor!
20 Och de lämnade omedelbart näten och följde honom.
21 Lite längre bort på stranden såg han två andra bröder, Jakob och Johannes, sitta i en båt med sin far Sebedaios. De höll på att laga nät. Han ropade också på dem, och
22 genast lade de ifrån sig sina nät, lämnade sin far och följde med Jesus.
Jesus predikar över hela Galileen
23 Jesus vandrade nu omkring i hela Galileen och undervisade i de judiska synagogorna, och vart han än kom predikade han de goda nyheterna om himmelriket och botade alla slags sjukdomar.
24 Ryktet om hans under spreds långt utanför Galileens gränser och snart kom sjuka människor ända från Syrien för att bli botade. Och oavsett vilken sjukdom de led eller plågades av, om de var besatta av onda andar, mentalt sjuka eller handikappade, så botade han dem.
25 Stora folkmassor följde honom vart han än gick - människor från Galileen, Tiostadsområdet, Jerusalem och hela Judeen och till och med från andra sidan Jordan.
Mattityahu 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was led up into the midbar by the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem to undergo nisyonos (temptations) by Hasatan.
2 And, having undergone a tzom (fast) for arbaim yom varbaim lailah (forty days and forty nights), afterward Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was famished.
3 And the tempter came to him and said to him, If you are the Ben HaElohim, then speak the command that these avanim (stones) become lechem (bread).
4 But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered, Katuv (It is written), LO AL HALECHEM LVADOH YCHEYEH HAADAM, KI AL KOL MOTZAH FI HASHEM. (Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Hashem, Dt 8:3).
5 Then Hasatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to the Ir Hakodesh (the Holy City) and set him atop the pinnacle of the Beis Hamikdash,
6 and says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, If you are the Ben HaElohim, then throw yourself down, for katuv (it is written), MALACHAV YTZAV-VEH LACH (His angels he will command concerning you) and upon their hands they will lift you up lest you strike your foot against a stone, TEHILLIM 91:11,12.)
7 Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to Hasatan, Again, it is written, LO TENASSU ES HASHEM ELOHEICHEM (Do not test Hashem your G-d, DEVARIM 6:16).
8 Again, Hasatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to a very high mountain and shows him all the mamlechot (kingdoms) of the Olam Hazeh and the kavod (glory) of them.
9 And Hasatan said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down VTISHTACHAVEH (and you will bow down to [DEVARIM 5:9]) me.
10 Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Depart, Hasatan! For katuv (it is written), ES HASHEM ELOHEICHA TIRA VOTO TAAVOD (The L-rd your G-d you shall fear and Him you shall worship, DEVARIM 6:13).
11 Then Hasatan leaves him, and, hinei, malachim came and attended to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
12 Now, having heard that Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed into the Galil.
13 And having left behind Natzeret, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach headquartered in Kfar-Nachum by the sea, in the environs of Zvulun and Naftali.
14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Yeshayah HaNavi,
15 ARTZAH ZVULUN VARTZAH NAFTALI (To the land of Zvulun and to the land of Naftali, Isa 8:23-9:1 [9:1-2]), the way to the sea beyond the Yarden, Galil HaGoyim,
16 the people sitting in CHOSHECH RAU OHR GADOL (darkness saw a great light), YOSHVEI V’ERETZ TZALMAVET (the ones living in the land of the shadow of death), a light has dawned among them.
17 From then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to proclaim, saying, LAlter LiTeshuvah (Immediate Repentance ), for the Malchut HaShomayim has come near.
18 And walking beside Lake Kinneret (Sea of Galilee), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw two achim, Shimon, the one being called Kefa (Petros), and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).
19 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Come, follow me, and I will make you daiyagei adam (fishers of men).
20 And immediately, leaving their nets, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
21 And having gone on from there, he saw two other achim, Yaakov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, in the sirah (boat) with Zavdai their father, repairing their nets, and he summoned them.
22 Immediately, leaving the sirah (boat) and their father, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach [Mt 19:29].
23 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about in all the Galil, exercising the ministry of moreh (teacher) in their shuls and of darshan (preacher) of the Besuroh Tovoh (Good Tiding of a Joyous Event), the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of the Malchut Hashem, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about bringing refuah (healing) to every disease and every illness of the people.
24 And the report went out about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach throughout all Syria; and they brought to him all the cholim (sick) with various illnesses and machalot, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics; and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach brought them refuah.
25 And from the Galil, the Decapolis, Yerushalayim, Yehudah, and Ever-HaYarden from all these places great multitudes followed him.
Matthew 4
King James Version
4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22 And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
