| 1 | Anna meille päivästä päivään jokapäiväinen leipämme. | And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples? |
| 2 | Eräs ystäväni poikkesi matkallaan luokseni, eikä minulla ole tarjota hänelle mitään.' | And he said to them, When you say your prayers, say, Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come. |
| 3 | Toinen vastaa sisältä: 'Älä häiritse minua. Ovi on jo lukossa, ja minä olen nukkumassa lasten kanssa. En minä voi nousta antamaan mitään.' | Give us every day bread for our needs. |
| 4 | Mutta minä sanon teille: vaikka hän ei nousisikaan antamaan toiselle leipää pelkkää ystävyyttään, hän kuitenkin tekee sen, kun tämä hellittämättä pyytää, ja hän antaa niin paljon kuin toinen tarvitsee. | May we have forgiveness for our sins, as we make free all those who are in debt to us. And let us not be put to the test. |
| 5 | Sillä pyytävä saa, etsijä löytää, ja jokaiselle, joka kolkuttaa, avataan. | And he said to them, Which of you, having a friend, would go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, Friend, let me have three cakes of bread; |
| 6 | Ei kai kukaan teistä ole sellainen isä, että antaa pojalleen käärmeen, kun poika pyytää kalaa? | Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him; |
| 7 | Tai skorpionin, kun hän pyytää munaa? | And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to get up and give to you? |
| 8 | Jeesus ajoi mykästä miehestä pahan hengen. Kun henki oli lähtenyt, mykkä mies alkoi puhua, ja kaikki hämmästyivät. | I say to you, Though he will not get up and give to him, because he is his friend, still, if he keeps on making his request, he will get up and give him as much as he has need of. |
| 9 | Toiset taas halusivat panna hänet koetukselle ja vaativat häneltä merkkiä taivaasta. | And I say to you, Make requests, and they will be answered; what you are searching for, you will get; when you give the sign, the door will be open to you. |
| 10 | Jos nyt Saatana taistelee itseään vastaan, kuinka sen valtakunta voi pysyä koossa? Tehän sanotte, että minä ajan pahoja henkiä ihmisistä Belsebulin avulla. | For to everyone who makes a request, it will be given; and he who is searching will get his desire; and to him who gives the sign, the door will be open. |
| 11 | Mutta jos minä ajan pahoja henkiä ihmisistä Belsebulin avulla, kenen avulla sitten teikäläiset niitä karkottavat? Heistä te saatte itsellenne tuomarit. | And which of you, being a father, will give a stone to his son, who makes request for bread? or for a fish, will give him a snake? |
| 12 | Jos minä sitä vastoin ajan pahoja henkiä ihmisistä Jumalan sormella, silloinhan Jumalan valtakunta on jo tullut teidän luoksenne. | Or for an egg, will give him a scorpion? |
| 13 | Mutta jos toinen vielä väkevämpi hyökkää hänen kimppuunsa ja voittaa hänet, tuo väkevämpi ottaa häneltä aseet ja varusteet, joihin hän luotti, ja jakaa saamansa saaliin. | If, then, you who are evil are able to give good things to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who make request to him? |
| 14 | Joka ei ole minun puolellani, on minua vastaan, ja joka ei yhdessä minun kanssani kokoa, se hajottaa. | And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder. |
| 15 | Kun se sitten tulee ja löytää huoneensa lakaistuna ja hyvässä järjestyksessä, | But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits. |
| 16 | Niin kuin Joona oli merkki niniveläisille, niin on Ihmisen Poika oleva merkkinä tälle sukupolvelle. | And others, testing him, were looking for a sign from heaven from him. |
| 17 | Etelän kuningatar herää tuomiolle yhdessä tämän sukupolven ihmisten kanssa ja langettaa heille tuomion. Hän tuli maan ääristä saakka kuulemaan Salomon viisautta, ja tässä teillä on enemmän kuin Salomo! | But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction. |
| 18 | Niniven asukkaat nousevat tuomiolle yhdessä tämän sukupolven kanssa ja langettavat sille tuomion. He kääntyivät, kun Joona saarnasi heille, ja tässä teillä on enemmän kuin Joona! | If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul. |
| 19 | Silmäsi on sinun ruumiisi lamppu. Kun silmäsi on terve, koko ruumiisi on valaistu. Kun silmäsi ovat huonot, ruumiisi on pimeä. | And if I, by Beelzebul, send out evil spirits, by whose help do your sons send them out? so let them be your judges. |
| 20 | Pidä siis varasi, ettei se valo, joka sinussa on, ole pimeyttä. | But if I, by the finger of God, send out evil spirits, then the kingdom of God has overtaken you. |
| 21 | Jeesuksen opettaessa muuan fariseus pyysi häntä kotiinsa aterialle. Hän meni sinne ja asettui pöytään. | When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe: |
| 22 | Fariseus hämmästyi huomatessaan, että hän ei ennen ateriaa peseytynyt. | But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods. |
| 23 | Te mielettömät! Eikö sama, joka on tehnyt ulkopuolen, ole tehnyt sisäpuolenkin? | He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away. |
| 24 | Mitä maljassa sisällä on, se antakaa köyhille. Silloin kaikki on teille puhdasta. | The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came. |
| 25 | Näin te tunnustatte ja hyväksytte isienne teot: he tappoivat profeetat, ja te rakennatte profeetoille muistomerkit. | And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean. |
| 26 | Tämän vuoksi onkin Jumalan Viisaus sanonut: 'Minä lähetän heidän luokseen profeettoja ja apostoleja, ja he tappavat ja vainoavat näitä.' | Then he goes and gets seven other spirits more evil than himself, and they go in, and take their places there: and the last condition of that man is worse than the first. |
| 27 | Niinpä tämä sukupolvi saa maksaa kaikesta profeettojen verestä, joka maailman luomisesta lähtien on vuodatettu, | And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk. |
| 28 | Abelin verestä aina Sakarjan vereen asti, hänen, joka surmattiin alttarin ja pyhäkön välille. Niin, minä sanon teille: tämä sukupolvi vaaditaan vielä tilille. | But he said, More happy are they who give hearing to the word of God and keep it. |
| 29 | Voi teitä, lainopettajat! Te olette vieneet tiedon avaimen. Itse te ette ole menneet sisälle, ja niitäkin, jotka ovat halunneet mennä, te olette estäneet. | And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah. |
| 30 mapa | Kun Jeesus lähti sieltä, lainopettajat ja fariseukset ahdistivat hellittämättä häntä kysymyksillään ja ottivat puheeksi kaikenlaisia asioita yrittäen houkutella hänet ansaan. | For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation. |
| 31 mapa | He kuuntelivat valppaasti saadakseen hänet kiinni hänen omista sanoistaan. | The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here. |
| 32 mapa | The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here. | |
| 33 | No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light. | |
| 34 | The light of the body is the eye: when your eye is true, all your body is full of light; but when it is evil, your body is dark. | |
| 35 | So take care that the light which is in you is not dark. | |
| 36 | If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light. | |
| 37 | Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal. | |
| 38 | And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself. | |
| 39 | And the Lord said to him, You Pharisees make the outside of the cup and the plate clean; but inside you are thieves and full of evil. | |
| 40 | O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside? | |
| 41 | But if you give to the poor such things as you are able, then all things are clean to you. | |
| 42 | But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone. | |
| 43 | A curse is on you, Pharisees! for your desires are for the most important seats in the Synagogues and for words of respect said to you in the market-place. | |
| 44 | A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it. | |
| 45 | And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them. | |
| 46 | And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them. | |
| 47 | A curse is on you! for you make resting-places for the bodies of the prophets, but your fathers put them to death. | |
| 48 | So you are witnesses and give approval to the work of your fathers; for they put them to death and you make their last resting-places. | |
| 49 | For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains; | |
| 50 | So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days; | |
| 51 | From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation. | |
| 52 | A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you did not go in yourselves, and you got in the way of those who were going in. | |
| 53 | And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things; | |
| 54 | And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him. |
