Lukas 18
1 Men han talte til dem en Lignelse om, at de burde altid bede og ikke blive trætte,
Then Jesus told them a parable about the need to pray at all times and not lose heart.
2 og sagde: „Der var i en By en Dommer, som ikke frygtede Gud og ikke undsaa sig for noget Menneske.
He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man.
3 Og der var en Enke i den By, og hun kom til ham og sagde: Skaf mig Ret over min Modpart!
There was also a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’
4 Og længe vilde han ikke. Men derefter sagde han ved sig selv: Om jeg end ikke frygter Gud, ej heller undser mig for noget Menneske,
For a while he would not do so, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
5 saa vil jeg dog, efterdi denne Enke volder mig Besvær, skaffe hende Ret, for at hun ikke uophørligt skal komme og plage mig.‟
yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not wear me out by continually coming to me.’”
6 Men Herren sagde: „Hører, hvad den uretfærdige Dommer siger!
Then the Lord said, “Consider what this unrighteous judge said.
7 Skulde da Gud ikke skaffe sine udvalgte Ret, de, som raabe til ham Dag og Nat? og er han ikke langmodig, naar det gælder dem?
If even he ultimately rendered a just decision, will not God patiently listen to his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night, and give them justice?
8 Jeg siger eder, han skal skaffe dem Ret i Hast. Men mon Menneskesønnen, naar han kommer, vil finde Troen paa Jorden?‟
I tell you that he will bring about justice for them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
9 Men han sagde ogsaa til nogle, som stolede paa sig selv, at de vare retfærdige, og foragtede de andre, denne Lignelse:
He also told this parable to some who were confident in their own righteous and regarded others with contempt:
10 „Der gik to Mænd op til Helligdommen for at bede; den ene var en Farisæer, og den anden en Tolder.
“Two men went up to the temple to pray. One was a Pharisee and the other was a tax collector.
11 Farisæeren stod og bad ved sig selv saaledes: Gud! Jeg takker dig, fordi jeg ikke er som de andre Mennesker, Røvere, uretfærdige, Horkarle, eller ogsaa som denne Tolder.
The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed like this: ‘God, I thank yoʋ that I am not like other people: swindlers, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12 Jeg faster to Gange om Ugen, jeg giver Tiende af al min Indtægt.
I fast twice a week, and I give tithes of all that I get.’
13 Men Tolderen stod langt borte og vilde end ikke opløfte Øjnene til Himmelen, men slog sig for sit Bryst og sagde: Gud, vær mig Synder naadig!
But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14 Jeg siger eder: Denne gik retfærdiggjort hjem til sit Hus fremfor den anden; thi enhver, som ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres; men den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes.‟
I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other one. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
15 Men de bare ogsaa de smaa Børn til ham, for at han skulde røre ved dem; men da Disciplene saa det, truede de dem.
Now people were even bringing their babies to Jesus so that he might touch them. When the disciples saw this, they rebuked those who were bringing them,
16 Men Jesus kaldte dem til sig og sagde: „Lader de smaa Børn komme til mig, og formener dem det ikke; thi Guds Rige hører saadanne til.
but Jesus called for them and said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.
17 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som ikke modtager Guds Rige ligesom et lille Barn, han skal ingenlunde komme ind i det.‟
Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will certainly not enter it.”
18 Og en af de Øverste spurgte ham og sagde: „Gode Mester! hvad skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan arve et evigt Liv?‟ (aiōnios g166)
Then a certain ruler asked him, “Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
19 Men Jesus sagde til ham: „Hvorfor kalder du mig god? Ingen er god uden een, nemlig Gud.
Jesus said to him, “Why do yoʋ call me good? No one is good except God alone.
20 Du kender Budene: Du maa ikke bedrive Hor; du maa ikke slaa ihjel; du maa ikke stjæle; du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd; ær din Fader og din Moder.‟
Yoʋ know the commandments: ‘Do not commit adultery, Do not murder, Do not steal, Do not give false testimony, Honor yoʋr father and yoʋr mother.’”
21 Men han sagde: „Det har jeg holdt alt sammen fra min Ungdom af.‟
The man said, “I have kept all these commandments from the time I was a young boy.”
22 Men da Jesus hørte det, sagde han til ham: „Endnu een Ting fattes dig: Sælg alt, hvad du har, og uddel det til fattige, saa skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom saa og følg mig!‟
When Jesus heard this, he said to him, “One thing yoʋ still lack: Sell everything yoʋ have and distribute the money to the poor, and yoʋ will have treasure in heaven; then come follow me.”
23 Men da han hørte dette, blev han dybt bedrøvet; thi han var saare rig.
But when the man heard this, he became very sorrowful, for he was extremely rich.
24 Men da Jesus saa, at han blev dybt bedrøvet, sagde han: „Hvor vanskeligt komme de, som have Rigdom, ind i Guds Rige!
When Jesus saw that the man had become very sorrowful, he said, “How difficult it will be for those who have riches to enter the kingdom of God!
25 thi det er lettere for en Kamel at gaa igennem et Naaleøje end for en rig at gaa ind i Guds Rige.‟
For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.”
26 Men de, som hørte det, sagde: „Hvem kan da blive frelst?‟
Those who heard this said, “Who then can be saved?”
27 Men han sagde: „Hvad der er umuligt for Mennesker, det er muligt for Gud.‟
Jesus said, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.”
28 Men Peter sagde: „Se, vi have forladt vort eget og fulgt dig.‟
Then Peter said, “Behold, we have left everything and followed yoʋ.”
29 Men han sagde til dem: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, der er ingen, som har forladt Hus eller Forældre eller Brødre eller Hustru eller Børn for Guds Riges Skyld,
Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house, parents, brothers, wife, or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God,
31 Men han tog de tolv til sig og sagde til dem: „Se, vi drage op til Jerusalem, og alle de Ting, som ere skrevne ved Profeterne, skulle fuldbyrdes paa Menneskesønnen.
Then Jesus took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything written by the prophets about the Son of Man will be fulfilled.
32 Thi han skal overgives til Hedningerne og spottes, forhaanes og bespyttes,
For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, and he will be mocked, insulted, and spit upon.
33 og de skulle hudstryge og ihjelslaa ham; og paa den tredje Dag skal han opstaa.‟
After flogging him, they will kill him, and on the third day he will rise again.”
34 Og de fattede intet deraf, og dette Ord var skjult for dem, og de forstode ikke det, som blev sagt.
But the disciples did not understand any of these things; this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend what was being said.
35 Men det skete, da han nærmede sig til Jeriko, sad der en blind ved Vejen og tiggede.
As Jesus drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging.
36 Og da han hørte en Skare gaa forbi, spurgte han, hvad dette var.
When he heard a crowd going by, he asked what was happening.
37 Men de fortalte ham, at Jesus af Nazareth kom forbi.
They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by.
38 Og han raabte og sagde: „Jesus, du Davids Søn, forbarm dig over mig!‟
So he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!”
39 Og de, som gik foran, truede ham, for at han skulde tie; men han raabte meget stærkere: „Du Davids Søn, forbarm dig over mig!‟
Then those who were out in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
40 Og Jesus stod stille og bød, at han skulde føres til ham; men da han kom nær til ham, spurgte han ham og sagde:
So Jesus stopped and ordered the man to be brought to him. When the man drew near, Jesus asked him,
41 „Hvad vil du, at jeg skal gøre for dig?‟ Men han sagde: „Herre! at jeg maa blive seende.‟
“What do yoʋ want me to do for yoʋ?” He said, “Lord, I want to receive my sight.”
42 Og Jesus sagde til ham: „Bliv seende! din Tro har frelst dig.‟
So Jesus said to him, “Receive yoʋr sight; yoʋr faith has healed yoʋ.”
43 Og straks blev han seende, og han fulgte ham og priste Gud; og hele Folket lovpriste Gud, da de saa det.
Immediately he received his sight and began following Jesus, glorifying God. And when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.
