Lukas 11
1 Og det skete, da han var paa et Sted og bad, at en af hans Disciple sagde til ham, da han holdt op: „Herre! lær os at bede, som ogsaa Johannes lærte sine Disciple.‟
At one place where He was praying, when He rose from His knees one of His disciples said to Him, "Master, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."
2 Da sagde han til dem: „Naar I bede, da siger: Fader, helliget vorde dit Navn; komme dit Rige;
So He said to them, "When you pray, say, 'Father may Thy name be kept holy; let Thy Kingdom come;
3 giv os hver Dag vort daglige Brød;
give us day after day our bread for the day;
4 og forlad os vore Synder, thi ogsaa vi forlade hver, som er os skyldig; og led os ikke i Fristelse!‟
and forgive us our sins, for we ourselves also forgive every one who fails in his duty to us; and bring us not into temptation.'"
5 Og han sagde til dem: „Om nogen af eder har en Ven og gaar til ham ved Midnat og siger til ham: Kære! laan mig tre Brød,
And He said to them, "Which of you shall have a friend and shall go to him in the middle of the night and say, "'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;
6 efterdi en Ven af mig er kommen til mig fra Rejsen, og jeg har intet at sætte for ham;
for a friend of mine has just come to my house from a distance, and I have nothing for him to eat'?
7 og hin saa svarer derinde fra og siger: Vold mig ikke Besvær; Døren er allerede lukket, og mine Børn ere med mig i Seng; jeg kan ikke staa op og give dig det:
"And he from indoors shall answer, "'Do not pester me. The door is now barred, and I am here in bed with my children. I cannot get up and give you bread.'
8 da, siger jeg eder, om han end ikke staar op og giver ham det, fordi han er hans Ven, saa staar han dog op for hans Paatrængenheds Skyld og giver ham alt, hvad han trænger til.
"I tell you that even if he will not rise and give him the loaves because he is his friend, at any rate because of his persistency he will rouse himself and give him as many as he requires.
9 Og jeg siger eder: Beder, saa skal eder gives; søger, saa skulle I finde; banker paa, saa skal der lukkes op for eder.
"So I say to you, 'Ask, and what you ask for shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and the door shall be opened to you.'
10 Thi hver den, som beder, han faar, og den, som søger, han finder, og den, som banker paa, for ham skal der lukkes op.
For every one who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, the door shall be opened.
11 Men hvilken Fader iblandt eder vil give sin Søn en Sten, naar han beder om Brød, eller naar han beder om en Fisk, mon han da i Stedet for en Fisk vil give ham en Slange?
And what father is there among you, who, if his son asks for a slice of bread, will offer him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will instead of a fish offer him a snake?
12 Eller naar han beder om et Æg, mon han da vil give ham en Skorpion?
or if he asks for an egg, will offer him a scorpion?
13 Dersom da I, som ere onde, vide at give eders Børn gode Gaver, hvor meget mere skal da Faderen fra Himmelen give den Helligaand til dem, som bede ham!‟
If you then, with all your human frailty, know how to give your children gifts that are good for them, how much more certainly will your Father who is in Heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!"
14 Og han uddrev en ond Aand, og den var stum; men det skete, da den onde Aand var udfaren, talte den stumme, og Skarerne forundrede sig.
On once occasion He was expelling a dumb demon; and when the demon was gone out the dumb man could speak, and the people were astonished.
15 Men nogle af dem sagde: „Ved Beelzebul, de onde Aanders Fyrste, uddriver han de onde Aander.‟
But some among them said, "It is by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of the demons, that he expels the demons."
16 Men andre fristede ham og forlangte af ham et Tegn fra Himmelen.
Others, to put Him to the test, asked Him for a sign in the sky.
17 Men da han kendte deres Tanker, sagde han til dem: „Hvert Rige, som er kommet i Splid med sig selv, lægges øde, og Hus falder over Hus.
And, knowing their thoughts, He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war rages goes to ruin: family attacks family and is overthrown.
18 Men hvis ogsaa Satan er kommen i Splid med sig selv, hvorledes skal hans Rige da bestaa? Thi I sige, at jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Beelzebul.
And if Satan really has engaged in fierce conflict with himself, how shall his kingdom stand?--because you say that I expel demons by the power of Baal-zebul.
19 Men dersom jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Beelzebul, ved hvem uddrive da eders Sønner dem? Derfor skulle de være eders Dommere.
And if it is by the power of Baal-zebul that I expel the demons, by whom do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
20 Men dersom jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Guds Finger, da er jo Guds Rige kommet til eder.
But if it is by the power of God that I drive out the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
21 Naar den stærke bevæbnet vogter sin Gaard, bliver det, han ejer, i Fred.
"Whenever a strong man, fully armed and equipped, is guarding his own castle, he enjoys peaceful possession of his property;
22 Men naar en stærkere end han er kommen over ham og har overvundet ham, da tager han hans fulde Rustning, som han forlod sig paa, og uddeler hans Bytte.
but as soon as another stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away that complete armour of his in which he trusted, and distributes the plunder he has collected.
23 Den, som ikke er med mig, er imod mig; og den, som ikke samler med mig, adspreder.
Whoever is not with me is against me, and whoever is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
24 Naar den urene Aand er faren ud af Mennesket, vandrer den igennem vandløse Steder og søger Hvile; og naar den ikke finder den, siger den: Jeg vil vende tilbage til mit Hus, som jeg gik ud af.
"When a foul spirit has left a man, it roams about in the Desert, seeking a resting-place; but, unable to find any, it says, 'I will return to the house I have left;"
25 Og naar den kommer, finder den det fejet og prydet.
and when it comes, it finds the house swept clean and in good order.
26 Da gaar den bort og tager syv andre Aander med sig, som ere værre end den selv, og naar de ere komne derind, bo de der; og det sidste bliver værre med dette Menneske end det første.‟
Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more malignant than itself, and they enter and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first.
27 Men det skete, medens han sagde disse Ting, da opløftede en Kvinde af Skaren sin Røst og sagde til ham: „Saligt er det Liv, som bar dig, og de Bryster, som du diede.‟
As He thus spoke a woman in the crowd called out in a loud voice, "Blessed is the mother who carried you, and the breasts that you have sucked."
28 Men han sagde: „Ja, salige ere de, som høre Guds Ord og bevare det.‟
"Nay rather," He replied, "they are blessed who hear God's Message and carefully keep it."
29 Men da Skarerne strømmede til, begyndte han at sige: „Denne Slægt er en ond Slægt; et Tegn forlanger den, og der skal intet Tegn gives den uden Jonas's Tegn.
Now when the crowds came thronging upon Him, He proceeded to say, "The present generation is a wicked generation: it requires some sign, but no sign shall be given to it except that of Jonah.
30 Thi ligesom Jonas blev et Tegn for Niniviterne, saaledes skal ogsaa Menneskesønnen være det for denne Slægt.
For just as Jonah became a sign to the men of Nineveh, so the Son of Man will be a token to the present generation.
31 Sydens Dronning skal oprejses ved Dommen sammen med Mændene af denne Slægt og fordømme dem; thi hun kom fra Jordens Grænser for at høre Salomons Visdom; og se, her er mere end Salomon.
The Queen of the South will awake at the Judgement together with the men of the present generation, and will condemn them; because she came from the extremity of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; but mark! One greater than Solomon is here.
32 Mænd fra Ninive skulle opstaa ved Dommen sammen med denne Slægt og fordømme den; thi de omvendte sig ved Jonas's Prædiken; og se, her er mere end Jonas.
There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah; and mark! One greater than Jonah is here.
33 Ingen tænder et Lys og sætter det i Skjul, ikke heller under Skæppen, men paa Lysestagen, for at de, som komme ind, kunne se dets Skin.
"When any one lights a lamp, he never puts it in the cellar or under the bushel, but on the lampstand, that people who come in may see the light.
34 Dit Øje er Legemets Lys; naar dit Øje er sundt, er ogsaa hele dit Legeme lyst, men dersom det er daarligt, er ogsaa dit Legeme mørkt.
The lamp of the body is the eye. When your eyesight is good, your whole body also is lighted up; but when it is defective, your body is darkened.
35 Se derfor til, at det Lys, der er i dig, ikke er Mørke.
Consider therefore whether the light that is in you is anything but mere darkness.
36 Dersom da hele dit Legeme er lyst, saa at ingen Del deraf er mørk, vil det være helt lyst, som naar Lyset bestraaler dig med sin Glans.‟
If, however, your whole body is penetrated with light, and has no part dark, it will be so lighted, all of it, as when the lamp with its bright shining gives you light."
37 Men idet han talte, beder en Farisæer ham om, at han vilde spise Middagsmaaltid hos ham, og han gik ind og satte sig til Bords.
When He had thus spoken, a Pharisee invited Him to breakfast at his house; so He entered and took His place at table.
38 Men Farisæeren forundrede sig, da han saa, at han ikke toede sig først før Maaltidet.
Now the Pharisee saw to his surprise that He did not wash His hands before breakfasting.
39 Men Herren sagde til ham: „I Farisæere rense nu det udvendige af Bægeret og Fadet; men eders Indre er fuldt af Rov og Ondskab.
The Master however said to him, "Here we see how you Pharisees clean the outside of the cup or plate, while your secret hearts are full of greed and selfishness.
40 I Daarer! han, som gjorde det ydre, gjorde han ikke ogsaa det indre?
Foolish men! Did not He who made the outside make the inside also?
41 Men giver det, som er indeni, til Almisse; se, saa ere alle Ting eder rene.
But as to what is within, give alms, and instantly all is clean in you.
42 Men ve eder, I Farisæere! thi I give Tiende af Mynte og Rude og alle Haande Urter og forbigaa Retten og Kærligheden til Gud; disse Ting burde man gøre og ikke forsømme hine.
"But alas for you Pharisees! for you pay tithes on your mint and rue and every kind of garden vegetable, and are indifferent to justice and the love of God. These are the things you ought to have attended to, while not neglecting the others.
43 Ve eder, I Farisæere! thi I elske den fornemste Plads i Synagogerne og Hilsenerne paa Torvene.
Alas for you Pharisees! for you love the best seats in the synagogues, and you like to be bowed to in places of public resort.
44 Ve eder, thi I ere som de ukendelige Grave, og Menneskene, som gaa over dem, vide det ikke.‟
Alas for you! for you are like the tombs which lie hidden, and the people who walk over them are not aware of their existence."
45 Men en af de lovkyndige svarede og siger til ham: „Mester! idet du siger dette, forhaaner du ogsaa os.‟
Hereupon one of the expounders of the Law exclaimed, "Rabbi, in saying such things you reproach us also."
46 Men han sagde: „Ve ogsaa eder, I lovkyndige! thi I lægge Menneskene Byrder paa, vanskelige at bære, og selv røre I ikke Byrderne med een af eders Fingre.
"Alas too for you expounders of the Law!" replied Jesus, "for you load men with cumbrous burdens which you yourselves will not touch with one of your fingers.
47 Ve eder! thi I bygge Profeternes Grave, og eders Fædre sloge dem ihjel.
Alas for you! for you repair the tombs of the Prophets, whom your forefathers killed.
48 Altsaa ere I Vidner og samtykke i eders Fædres Gerninger; thi de sloge dem ihjel, og I bygge.
It follows that you bear testimony to the actions of your forefathers and that you fully approve thereof. They slew, you build.
49 Derfor har ogsaa Guds Visdom sagt: Jeg vil sende Profeter og Apostle til dem, og nogle af dem skulle de slaa ihjel og forfølge,
"For this reason also the Wisdom of God has said, 'I will send Prophets and Apostles to them, of whom they will kill some and persecute others,'
50 for at alle Profeternes Blod, som er udøst fra Verdens Grundlæggelse, skal kræves af denne Slægt,
so that the blood of all the Prophets, that is being shed from the creation of the world onwards, may be required from the present generation.
51 fra Abels Blod indtil Sakarias's Blod, som blev dræbt imellem Alteret og Templet; ja, jeg siger eder: Det skal kræves af denne Slægt.
Yes, I tell you that, from the blood of Abel down to the blood of Zechariah who perished between the altar and the House, it shall all be required from the present generation.
52 Ve eder, I lovkyndige! thi I have taget Kundskabens Nøgle; selv ere I ikke gaaede ind, og dem, som vilde gaa ind, have I forhindret.‟
"Alas for you expounders of the Law! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you yourselves have not entered, and those who wanted to enter you have hindered."
53 Og da han var gaaet ud derfra, begyndte de skriftkloge og Farisæerne at trænge stærkt ind paa ham og at lokke Ord af hans Mund om flere Ting;
After He had left the house, the Scribes and Pharisees commenced a vehement attempt to entangle Him and make Him give off-hand answers on numerous points,
54 thi de lurede paa ham for at opfange noget af hans Mund, for at de kunde anklage ham.
lying in wait to catch some unguarded expression from His lips.
