Lukas 12
1 Da imidlertid mange Tusinde Mennesker havde samlet sig, saa at de traadte paa hverandre, begyndte han at sige til sine Disciple: „Tager eder først og fremmest i Vare for Farisæernes Surdejg, som er Hykleri.
And when great multitudes were assembled by myriads, so that they trod one upon another, Jesus began to say to his disciples: First of all, beware for yourselves of that leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Men intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
For there is nothing hidden, which will not be revealed; nor concealed, that will not be known.
3 Derfor, alt hvad I have sagt i Mørket, skal høres i Lyset; og hvad I have talt i Øret i Kamrene, skal blive prædiket paa Tagene.
For whatever ye speak in the dark, will be heard in the light; and what in secret chambers, ye whisper in the ear, will be proclaimed on the house-tops.
4 Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formaa at gøre mere.
And to you, my friends, I say: Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and afterwards have nothing more they can do.
5 Men jeg vil vise eder, for hvem I skulle frygte: Frygter for ham, som har Magt til, efter at have slaaet ihjel, at kaste i Helvede; ja, jeg siger eder: Frygter for ham! (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you, of whom to be afraid: of him who, after he hath killed, hath authority to cast into hell. Yea, say I to you: be afraid of him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Sælges ikke fem Spurve for to Penninge? og ikke een af dem er glemt hos Gud.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assarii? and not one of them is forgotten before God.
7 Ja, endog Haarene paa eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
And as for you, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; for ye are superior to many sparrows.
8 Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
And I say to you, that every one that shall confess me before men, the Son of man will also confess him before the angels of God.
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
But he that shall deny me before men, shall himself be denied before the angels of God.
10 Og enhver, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som har talt bespotteligt imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades.
And every one that shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but he that shall reproach the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.
11 Men naar de føre eder frem for Synagogerne og Øvrighederne og Myndighederne, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvormed I skulle forsvare eder, eller hvad I skulle sige.
And when they shall bring you into the synagogues, before chiefs and men in authority, be not anxious how ye shall make defence, or what ye shall say;
12 Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
for the Holy Spirit will, in that hour, instruct you what to say.
13 Men en af Skaren sagde til ham: „Mester! sig til min Broder, at han skal dele Arven med mig.‟
And one of the assembly said to him: Teacher, tell my brother, to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Men han sagde til ham: „Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?‟
But Jesus said to him: Man, who established me a judge and distributor over you?
15 Og han sagde til dem: „Ser til og vogter eder for al Havesyge; thi ingens Liv beror paa, hvad han ejer, selv om han har Overflod.‟
And he said to his disciples: Beware of all avarice, for life consisteth not in abundance of riches.
16 Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: „Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde baaret godt.
And he spoke to them a similitude: The land of a certain rich man brought forth produce in abundance.
17 Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
And he considered with himself, and said: What shall I do; for I have not where I can store up my produce?
18 Og han sagde: Dette vil jeg gøre, jeg vil nedbryde mine Lader og bygge dem større, og jeg vil samle deri al min Afgrøde og mit Gods;
And he said: This will I do; I will pull down my storehouses, and build them larger; and there will I store up all my corn and my good things:
19 og jeg vil sige til min Sjæl: Sjæl! du har mange gode Ting liggende for mange Aar; slaa dig til Ro, spis, drik, vær lystig!
and I will say to my soul: My soul, thou hast good things in abundance, which are stored up for many years; take thy ease; eat, drink, and live in pleasure.
20 Men Gud sagde til ham: Du Daare! i denne Nat kræves din Sjæl af dig; men hvem skal det høre til, som du har beredt?
But God said to him: Thou void of reason! This night, thy soul will be required of thee; and to whom will belong these things provided by thee?
21 Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
Such is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich in God.
22 Men han sagde til sine Disciple: „Derfor siger jeg eder: Bekymrer eder ikke for Livet, hvad I skulle spise; ikke heller for Legemet, hvad I skulle iføre eder.
And he said to his disciples: Therefore I tell you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for your body, what ye shall put on.
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
For the life is more important than food, and the body than raiment.
24 Giver Agt paa Ravnene, at de hverken saa eller høste, og de have ikke Forraadskammer eller Lade, og Gud føder dem; hvor langt mere værd end Fuglene ere dog I?
Consider the ravens, which sow not, nor reap, nor have cellars and storehouses; yet God provideth them food. How much more important now are ye, than the birds!
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
And which of you, by taking pains, can add one cubit to his stature?
26 Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
And if ye are impotent for that which is least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
27 Giver Agt paa Lillierne, hvorledes de vokse; de arbejde ikke og spinde ikke; men jeg siger eder: End ikke Salomon i al sin Herlighed var klædt som en af dem.
Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, nor do they spin. Yet I say to you, that not even Solomon in all his glory, was clothed like one of these.
28 Klæder da Gud saaledes det Græs paa Marken, som i Dag staar og i Morgen kastes i Ovnen, hvor meget mere eder, I lidettroende!
And if God so clothe the herb, which to-day exists in the field, and to-morrow falls into the oven, how much more you, ye little in faith?
29 Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
And inquire not, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor let your mind wander upon these things.
30 Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
For all these things the people of the world seek after; and your father knoweth that, for you also, these things are needful.
31 Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
But seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
Fear not, little flock; for your Father is disposed to give you the kingdom
33 Sælger, hvad I eje, og giver Almisse! Gører eder Punge, som ikke ældes, en Skat i Himlene, som ikke slipper op, der hvor ingen Tyv kommer nær, og intet Møl ødelægger.
Sell your property, and give alms: make for yourselves bags that do not become old, and a treasure that is not transient, in the heavens; where no thief approacheth, and no moth eateth.
34 Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil ogsaa eders Hjerte være.
For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
35 Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps burning.
36 Og værer I ligesom Mennesker, der vente paa deres Herre, naar han vil bryde op fra Brylluppet, for at de straks, naar han kommer og banker paa, kunne lukke op for ham.
And be ye like persons who are waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the house of feasting, that, when he shall come and knock, they may open to him immediately.
37 Salige ere de Tjenere, som Herren finder vaagne, naar han kommer. Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at han skal binde op om sig og sætte dem til Bords og gaa om og varte dem op.
Happy are those servants, whom their lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing. Verily I say to you: He will gird his loins, and make them recline, and will pass around and serve them.
38 Og dersom han kommer i den anden Nattevagt og kommer i den tredje Nattevagt og finder det saaledes, da ere disse Tjenere salige.
And if in the second watch, or in the third, he shall come and so find them, happy are those servants.
39 Men dette skulle I vide, at dersom Husbonden vidste, i hvilken Time Tyven vilde komme, da vaagede han og tillod ikke, at der skete Indbrud i hans Hus.
And this know ye, that if the lord of the house had known at what watch the thief would come, he would have been awake and would not have suffered his house to be broken into.
40 Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
Therefore be ye also ready; for at an hour that ye think not, the Son of man cometh.
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
Simon Cephas saith to him: Our Lord, speakest thou this similitude to us, or also to all men?
42 Og Herren sagde: „Hvem er vel den tro og forstandige Husholder, som Herren vil sætte over sit Tyende til at give dem den bestemte Kost i rette Tid?
Jesus said to him: Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord will place over all his domestics, to give them their portion in due time?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
Happy is that servant whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
Verily I say to you: He will place him over all his possessions.
45 Men dersom hin Tjener siger i sit Hjerte: „Min Herre tøver med at komme‟ og saa begynder at slaa Karlene og Pigerne og at spise og drikke og beruse sig,
But if that servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to smite the servants and the maidens of his lord; and shall begin to eat and to drink and be drunk;
46 da skal den Tjeners Herre komme paa den Dag, han ikke venter, og i den Time, han ikke ved, og hugge ham sønder og give ham hans Lod sammen med de utro.
the lord of that servant will come in a day he thinketh not, and in an hour he knoweth not, and will cut him in two; and will assign him his portion with them that are unfaithful.
47 Men den Tjener, som har kendt sin Herres Villie og ikke har truffet Forberedelser eller handlet efter hans Villie, skal have mange Hug;
And the servant that knew his lord's pleasure, and did not prepare for him according to his pleasure, shall be beaten with many stripes.
48 men den, som ikke har kendt den og har gjort, hvad der er Hug værd, skal have faa Hug. Enhver, hvem meget er givet, af ham skal man kræve meget; og hvem meget er betroet, af ham skal man forlange mere.
But he that knew not, yet did that which deserved stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For to whomsoever much is given, from him will much be required; and to whom much is committed, the more will be required at his hand.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
I have come to cast fire on the earth; and I would, that it already burned.
50 Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
And I have a baptism to be baptized with; and I am much pressed until it be accomplished.
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
Suppose ye, that I have come to produce tranquillity on the earth? I tell you, No: but division.
52 Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
For from this time, there will be five persons in one house, who will be divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 De skulle være i Splid, Fader med Søn og Søn med Fader, Moder med Datter og Datter med Moder, Svigermoder med sin Svigerdatter og Svigerdatter med sin Svigermoder.‟
For a father will be divided against his son, and a son against his father; a mother against her daughter, and a daughter against her mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Men han sagde ogsaa til Skarerne: „Naar I se en Sky komme op i Vester, sige I straks: Der kommer Regn, og det sker saaledes.
And he said to the multitudes: When you see a cloud rising out of the west, ye at once say: Rain is coming; and it is so.
55 Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
And when a south wind bloweth, ye say: It will be hot: and it is so.
56 I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to distinguish the aspect of the heavens and the earth; and why can ye not distinguish the present time?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
And why do ye not, of yourselves, judge correctly?
58 Thi medens du gaar hen med din Modpart til Øvrigheden, da gør dig Flid paa Vejen for at blive forligt med ham, for at han ikke skal trække dig for Dommeren, og Dommeren skal overgive dig til Slutteren, og Slutteren skal kaste dig i Fængsel.
And when thou goest with thy adversary to the ruler, while on the way, make effort to be released by him; lest he bring thee to the judge and the judge deliver thee to the exactor, and the exactor cast thee into prison.
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
For verily I say to thee: Thou wilt not come out thence, until thou pay the last mite.
