¹En Jesús sneri aftur frá Jórdan, fullur af heilögum anda. Leiddi andinn hann um óbyggðina

¹Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness

²fjörutíu daga, en djöfullinn freistaði hans. Ekki neytti hann neins þá daga, og er þeir voru liðnir, var hann hungraður.

²for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.

³En djöfullinn sagði við hann: ,,Ef þú ert sonur Guðs, þá bjóð þú steini þessum, að hann verði að brauði.``

³The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

⁴Og Jesús svaraði honum: ,,Ritað er: ,Eigi lifir maðurinn á einu saman brauði.```

⁴Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’” Deuteronomy 8:3

⁵Þá fór hann með hann upp og sýndi honum á augabragði öll ríki veraldar.

⁵The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶Og djöfullinn sagði við hann: ,,Þér mun ég gefa allt þetta veldi og dýrð þess, því að mér er það í hendur fengið, og ég get gefið það hverjum sem ég vil.

⁶The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.

⁷Ef þú fellur fram og tilbiður mig, skal það allt verða þitt.``

⁷If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.”

⁸Jesús svaraði honum: ,,Ritað er: Drottin, Guð þinn, skalt þú tilbiðja og þjóna honum einum.``

⁸Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’” Deuteronomy 6:13

⁹Þá fór hann með hann til Jerúsalem, setti hann á brún musterisins og sagði við hann: ,,Ef þú ert sonur Guðs, þá kasta þér hér ofan,

⁹He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

¹⁰því að ritað er: Hann mun fela englum sínum að gæta þín

¹⁰for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’

¹¹og: þeir munu bera þig á höndum sér, að þú steytir ekki fót þinn við steini.``

¹¹and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’” Psalm 91:11-12

¹²Jesús svaraði honum: ,,Sagt hefur verið: ,Ekki skalt þú freista Drottins, Guðs þíns.```

¹²Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” Deuteronomy 6:16

¹³Og er djöfullinn hafði lokið allri freistni, vék hann frá honum að sinni.

¹³When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

¹⁴En Jesús sneri aftur til Galíleu í krafti andans, og fóru fregnir af honum um allt nágrennið.

¹⁴Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area.

¹⁵Hann kenndi í samkundum þeirra, og lofuðu hann allir.

¹⁵He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.

¹⁶Hann kom til Nasaret, þar sem hann var alinn upp, og fór að vanda sínum á hvíldardegi í samkunduna og stóð upp til að lesa.

¹⁶He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read.

¹⁷Var honum fengin bók Jesaja spámanns. Hann lauk upp bókinni og fann staðinn, þar sem ritað er:

¹⁷The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,

¹⁸Andi Drottins er yfir mér, af því að hann hefur smurt mig. Hann hefur sent mig til að flytja fátækum gleðilegan boðskap, boða bandingjum lausn og blindum sýn, láta þjáða lausa

¹⁸ “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, NU omits “to heal the brokenhearted” to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed,

¹⁹og kunngjöra náðarár Drottins.

¹⁹ and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” Isaiah 61:1-2

²⁰Síðan lukti hann aftur bókinni, fékk hana þjóninum og settist niður, en augu allra í samkundunni hvíldu á honum.

²⁰He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant, and sat down. The eyes of all in the synagogue were fastened on him.

²¹Hann tók þá að tala til þeirra: ,,Í dag hefur rætst þessi ritning í áheyrn yðar.``

²¹He began to tell them, “Today, this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

²²Og allir lofuðu hann og undruðust þau hugnæmu orð, sem fram gengu af munni hans, og sögðu: ,,Er hann ekki sonur Jósefs?``

²²All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

²³En hann sagði við þá: ,,Eflaust munuð þér minna mig á orðtakið: ,Læknir, lækna sjálfan þig!` Vér höfum heyrt um allt, sem gjörst hefur í Kapernaum. Gjör nú hið sama hér í ættborg þinni.``

²³He said to them, “Doubtless you will tell me this parable, ‘Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.’”

²⁴Enn sagði hann: ,,Sannlega segi ég yður, engum spámanni er vel tekið í landi sínu.

²⁴He said, “Most certainly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

²⁵En satt segi ég yður, að margar voru ekkjur í Ísrael á dögum Elía, þegar himinninn var luktur í þrjú ár og sex mánuði, og mikið hungur í öllu landinu,

²⁵ But truly I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land.

²⁶og þó var Elía til engrar þeirra sendur, heldur aðeins til ekkju í Sarepta í Sídonlandi.

²⁶ Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

²⁷Og margir voru líkþráir í Ísrael á dögum Elísa spámanns, og enginn þeirra var hreinsaður, heldur aðeins Naaman Sýrlendingur.``

²⁷ There were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian.”

²⁸Allir í samkunduhúsinu fylltust reiði, er þeir heyrðu þetta,

²⁸They were all filled with wrath in the synagogue, as they heard these things.

²⁹spruttu upp, hröktu hann út úr borginni og fóru með hann fram á brún fjalls þess, sem borg þeirra var reist á, til þess að hrinda honum þar ofan.

²⁹They rose up, threw him out of the city, and led him to the brow of the hill that their city was built on, that they might throw him off the cliff.

³⁰En hann gekk gegnum miðja mannþröngina og fór leiðar sinnar.

³⁰But he, passing through their midst, went his way.

³¹Hann kom nú ofan til Kapernaum, borgar í Galíleu, og kenndi þeim á hvíldardegi.

³¹He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee. He was teaching them on the Sabbath day,

³²Undruðust menn mjög kenningu hans, því að vald fylgdi orðum hans.

³²and they were astonished at his teaching, for his word was with authority.

³³Í samkunduhúsinu var maður nokkur, er haldinn var óhreinum, illum anda. Hann æpti hárri röddu:

³³In the synagogue there was a man who had a spirit of an unclean demon, and he cried out with a loud voice,

³⁴,,Æ, hvað vilt þú oss, Jesús frá Nasaret? Ert þú kominn að tortíma oss? Ég veit, hver þú ert, hinn heilagi Guðs.``

³⁴saying, “Ah! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know you who you are: the Holy One of God!”

³⁵Jesús hastaði þá á hann og mælti: ,,Þegi þú, og far út af honum.`` En illi andinn slengdi honum fram fyrir þá og fór út af honum, en varð honum ekki að meini.

³⁵Jesus rebuked him, saying, “Be silent, and come out of him!” When the demon had thrown him down in their midst, he came out of him, having done him no harm.

³⁶Felmtri sló á alla, og sögðu þeir hver við annan: ,,Hvaða orð er þetta? Með valdi og krafti skipar hann óhreinum öndum, og þeir fara.``

³⁶Amazement came on all, and they spoke together, one with another, saying, “What is this word? For with authority and power he commands the unclean spirits, and they come out!”

³⁷Og orðstír hans barst út til allra staða þar í grennd.

³⁷News about him went out into every place of the surrounding region.

³⁸Úr samkundunni fór hann í hús Símonar. En tengdamóðir Símonar var altekin sótthita, og báðu þeir hann að hjálpa henni.

³⁸He rose up from the synagogue, and entered into Simon’s house. Simon’s mother-in-law was afflicted with a great fever, and they begged him for her.

³⁹Hann gekk að, laut yfir hana og hastaði á sótthitann, og fór hann úr henni. En hún reis jafnskjótt á fætur og gekk þeim fyrir beina.

³⁹He stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her. Immediately she rose up and served them.

⁴⁰Um sólsetur komu allir þeir, er höfðu á sínum vegum sjúklinga haldna ýmsum sjúkdómum, og færðu þá til hans. En hann lagði hendur yfir hvern þeirra og læknaði þá.

⁴⁰When the sun was setting, all those who had any sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.

⁴¹Þá fóru og illir andar út af mörgum og æptu: ,,Þú ert sonur Guðs.`` En hann hastaði á þá og bannaði þeim að tala, því að þeir vissu, að hann var Kristur.

⁴¹Demons also came out from many, crying out, and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Rebuking them, he didn’t allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ.

⁴²Þegar dagur rann, gekk hann burt á óbyggðan stað, en mannfjöldinn leitaði hans. Þeir fundu hann og vildu aftra því, að hann færi frá þeim.

⁴²When it was day, he departed and went into an uninhabited place, and the multitudes looked for him, and came to him, and held on to him, so that he wouldn’t go away from them.

⁴³En hann sagði við þá: ,,Mér ber og að flytja hinum borgunum fagnaðarerindið um Guðs ríki, því að til þess var ég sendur.``Og hann prédikaði í samkundunum í Júdeu.

⁴³But he said to them, “I must preach the good news of the Kingdom of God to the other cities also. For this reason I have been sent.”

⁴⁴Og hann prédikaði í samkundunum í Júdeu.

⁴⁴He was preaching in the synagogues of Galilee.
