Matteus 11

पढाई करना

   

1 Og det skjedde da Jesus var ferdig med å gi sine tolv disipler disse forskrifter, da drog han derfra for å lære og forkynne i deres byer.

2 Men da Johannes i fengslet hørte om Kristi gjerninger, sendte han bud med sine disipler og lot si til ham:

3 Er du den som skal komme, eller skal vi vente en annen?

4 Og Jesus svarte og sa til dem: Gå bort og fortell Johannes det som I hører og ser:

5 blinde ser og halte går, spedalske renses og døve hører og døde står op, og evangeliet forkynnes for fattige;

6 og salig er den som ikke tar anstøt av mig.

7 Da nu disse gikk bort, begynte Jesus å tale til folket om Johannes: Hvorfor var det I gikk ut i ørkenen? for å se et rør som svaier for vinden?

8 Eller hvorfor var det I gikk der ut? for å se et menneske klædd i fine klær? Se, de som går i fine klær, er i kongenes hus.

9 Eller hvorfor var det I gikk der ut? for å se en profet? Ja, jeg sier eder, endog mere enn en profet.

10 Det er ham det er skrevet om: Se, jeg sender mitt bud for ditt åsyn; han skal rydde din vei for dig.

11 Sannelig sier jeg eder: Nogen større enn døperen Johannes er ikke opreist blandt dem som er født av kvinner; men den minste i himlenes rike er større enn han.

12 Men fra døperen Johannes' dager inntil nu trenger de sig med makt inn i himlenes rike, og de som trenger sig inn, river det til sig.

13 For alle profetene og loven har spådd inntil Johannes,

14 og om I vil ta imot det: Han er den Elias som skal komme.

15 Den som har ører, han høre!

16 Men hvem skal jeg ligne denne slekt med? Den ligner små barn som sitter på torvene og roper til sine lekebrødre:

17 Vi blåste på fløite for eder, og I vilde ikke danse; vi sang sørgesanger, og I vilde ikke gråte.

18 For Johannes kom; han hverken åt eller drakk, og de sier: Han er besatt.

19 Menneskesønnen kom; han eter og drikker, og de sier: Se, for en storeter og vindrikker, tolderes og synderes venn! Men visdommen er rettferdiggjort av sine barn.

20 Da begynte han å refse de byer hvor hans fleste kraftige gjerninger var gjort, fordi de ikke hadde omvendt sig:

21 Ve dig, Korasin! Ve dig, Betsaida! Dersom de kraftige gjerninger som er gjort i eder, var gjort i Tyrus og Sidon, da hadde de for lenge siden omvendt sig i sekk og aske.

22 Dog, jeg sier eder: Det skal gå Tyrus og Sidon tåleligere på dommens dag enn eder.

23 Og du, Kapernaum, som er blitt ophøiet like til himmelen! like til dødsriket skal du bli nedstøtt; for dersom de kraftige gjerninger som er gjort i dig, var gjort i Sodoma, da var det blitt stående til denne dag.

24 Dog, jeg sier eder: Det skal gå Sodomas land tåleligere på dommens dag enn eder.

25 På den tid tok Jesus til orde og sa: Jeg priser dig, Fader, himmelens og jordens herre, fordi du har skjult dette for de vise og forstandige, og åpenbaret det for de umyndige;

26 ja, Fader, fordi således skjedde det som var velbehagelig for dig.

27 Alle ting er mig overgitt av min Fader, og ingen kjenner Sønnen, uten Faderen, heller ikke kjenner nogen Faderen, uten Sønnen og den som Sønnen vil åpenbare det for.

28 Kom til mig, alle I som strever og har tungt å bære, og jeg vil gi eder hvile!

29 Ta mitt åk eder og lær av mig! for jeg er saktmodig og ydmyk av hjertet; så skal I finne hvile for eders sjeler.

30 For mitt åk er gagnlig, og min byrde er lett.

8783. 'And also will believe in you forever' means in order that a faith composed of truth may exist, a faith that is going to be permanent. This is clear from the representation of 'Moses' as the truth from God, dealt with in 6771, 6827, 7014; from the meaning of 'believing' as faith; and from the meaning of 'forever' as that which is going to be permanent. The situation here is that the truth from God cannot be received by anyone unless it is adjusted to what he is capable of understanding, and so unless it is seen in a natural shape and form. For initially human minds can understand only earthly and worldly things, and not at all spiritual and celestial ones. If therefore spiritual and celestial things were made plainly visible they would be cast aside, as if they were worthless. This accords with the Lord's words in John,

If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how [will you believe] if I tell you heavenly things? John 3:12.

Still less would those who lived before the Lord's Coming have believed them. They were eventually so blind that they knew nothing, because they did not wish to know anything, about the life after death, about the internal man, about charity and faith, or about any heavenly reality. They rejected these because they had no liking for them, for those who have earthly and worldly things as their end in view, that is, love them more than anything else, have no liking for spiritual things; they virtually detest the very mention of them. Those things would suffer almost the same rejection at the present day. Learned people in the world do indeed believe that they would be better able to receive the Word if heavenly things were made plainly visible in it and if it were not written in so simple a style. But they are very much mistaken. They would reject it more than simple people, and would see no light in it, only complete and utter darkness. This darkness is brought about by human learning among those who trust in their own intelligence and therefore set themselves up above others. The Lord teaches that such things have been hidden from the wise and revealed to young children, that is, to the simple, in Matthew 11:25-26, and Luke 10:21. This is also perfectly clear from the consideration that those who are atheists and nature-worshippers, as they are called, are people who are learned. The world knows this, and they themselves know it.

Exodus 19

पढाई करना

   

1 In the third month after the children of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

2 When they had departed from Rephidim, and had come to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain.

3 Moses went up to God, and Yahweh called to him out of the mountain, saying, "This is what you shall tell the house of Jacob, and tell the children of Israel:

4 'You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.

5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice, and keep my covenant, then you shall be my own possession from among all peoples; for all the earth is mine;

6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

7 Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Yahweh commanded him.

8 All the people answered together, and said, "All that Yahweh has spoken we will do." Moses reported the words of the people to Yahweh.

9 Yahweh said to Moses, "Behold, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you forever." Moses told the words of the people to Yahweh.

10 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,

11 and be ready against the third day; for on the third day Yahweh will come down in the sight of all the people on Mount Sinai.

12 You shall set bounds to the people all around, saying, 'Be careful that you don't go up onto the mountain, or touch its border. Whoever touches the mountain shall be surely put to death.

13 No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether it is animal or man, he shall not live.' When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mountain."

14 Moses went down from the mountain to the people, and sanctified the people; and they washed their clothes.

15 He said to the people, "Be ready by the third day. Don't have sexual relations with a woman."

16 It happened on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain, and the sound of an exceedingly loud trumpet; and all the people who were in the camp trembled.

17 Moses led the people out of the camp to meet God; and they stood at the lower part of the mountain.

18 Mount Sinai, all it, smoked, because Yahweh descended on it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly.

19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.

20 Yahweh came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain. Yahweh called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

21 Yahweh said to Moses, "Go down, warn the people, lest they break through to Yahweh to gaze, and many of them perish.

22 Let the priests also, who come near to Yahweh, sanctify themselves, lest Yahweh break forth on them."

23 Moses said to Yahweh, "The people can't come up to Mount Sinai, for you warned us, saying, 'Set bounds around the mountain, and sanctify it.'"

24 Yahweh said to him, "Go down and you shall bring Aaron up with you, but don't let the priests and the people break through to come up to Yahweh, lest he break forth on them."

25 So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
