Lukas 21
1 Men idet han saa op, fik han Øje paa de rige, som lagde deres Gaver i Tempelblokken.
Looking up He saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasure chest.
2 Men han saa en fattig Enke, som lagde to Skærve deri.
But He also saw a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 Og han sagde: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at denne fattige Enke lagde mere i end de alle.
So He said: “I tell you truly that this poor widow put in more than all of them;
4 Thi alle disse lagde af deres Overflod hen til Gaverne; men hun lagde af sin Fattigdom al sin Ejendom, som hun havde.”
because all these others put in gifts for God out of their abundance, but she, out of her destitution, put in all she had to live on.”
5 Og da nogle sagde om Helligdommen, at den var prydet med smukke Stene og Tempelgaver, sagde han:
Then, as some were admiring the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and donations, He said,
6 „Disse Ting, som I se — der skal komme Dage, da der ikke lades Sten paa Sten, som jo skal nedbrydes.”
“These things that you see—the days will come in which not one stone will be left upon another that will not be thrown down.”
7 Men de spurgte ham og sagde: „Mester! naar skal dette da ske? og hvad er Tegnet paa, naar dette skal ske?”
So they asked Him, saying: “Teacher, so when will these things be?” and “What will be the sign when these things are about to happen?”
8 Men han sagde: „Ser til, at I ikke blive forførte; thi mange skulle paa mit Navn komme og sige: Det er mig, og: Tiden er kommen nær. Gaar ikke efter dem!
So He said: “Be careful, so as not to be deceived, because many will come in my name saying: ‘I am’ and ‘The time is at hand.’ Therefore do not go after them.
9 Men naar I høre om Krige og Oprør, da forskrækkes ikke; thi dette maa først ske, men Enden er der ikke straks.”
But whenever you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; because these things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”
10 Da sagde han til dem: „Folk skal rejse sig imod Folk, og Rige imod Rige.
Then He said to them: “Nation will be raised up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
11 Og store Jordskælv skal der være her og der og Hungersnød og Pest, og der skal ske frygtelige Ting og store Tegn fra Himmelen.
And there will be severe earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful events and great signs from heaven.
12 Men forud for alt dette skulle de lægge Haand paa eder og forfølge eder og overgive eder til Synagoger og Fængsler, og I skulle føres frem for Konger og Landshøvdinger for mit Navns Skyld.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors on account of my name.
13 Det skal falde ud for eder til Vidnesbyrd.
But it will turn out for you as an occasion for testimony.
14 Lægger det da paa Hjerte, at I ikke forud skulle overtænke, hvorledes I skulle forsvare eder.
So settle it in your hearts not to practice giving a defense beforehand;
15 Thi jeg vil give eder Mund og Visdom, som alle eders Modstandere ikke skulle kunne modstaa eller modsige.
because I will give you a mouth and wisdom such that all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or withstand.
16 Men I skulle endog forraades af Forældre og Brødre og Frænder og Venner, og de skulle slaa nogle af eder ihjel.
You will be betrayed even by parents and relatives, friends and ‘brothers’; and they will put some of you to death.
17 Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld.
And you will be hated by all because of my name.
18 Og ikke et Haar paa eders Hoved skal gaa tabt.
(Not even one hair of your head will be wasted
19 Ved eders Udholdenhed skulle I vinde eders Sjæle.
—you must secure your souls by your endurance.)
20 Men naar I se Jerusalem omringet af Krigshære, da forstaar, at dens Ødelæggelse er kommen nær.
“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that her desolation is at hand.
21 Da skulle de, som ere i Judæa, fly til Bjergene; og de, som ere midt i Staden, skulle vige bort derfra; og de, som ere paa Landet, skulle ikke gaa ind i den.
Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains; let those who are in the city get out, and let those who are in the country not enter her.
22 Thi disse ere Hævnens Dage, da alt, hvad skrevet er, skal opfyldes.
Because these are days of vengeance, that all the written things may be fulfilled.
23 Men ve de frugtsommelige og dem, som give Die, i de Dage; thi der skal være stor Nød paa Jorden og Vrede over dette Folk.
But woe to those who are pregnant and to those nursing babies in those days! There will be great distress in the land, and wrath to this people.
24 Og de skulle falde for Sværdets Od og føres fangne til alle Hedningerne; og Jerusalem skal nedtrædes af Hedningerne, indtil Hedningernes Tider fuldkommes.
Yes, they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
25 Og der skal ske Tegn i Sol og Maane og Stjerner, og paa Jorden skulle Folkene ængstes i Fortvivlelse over Havets og Bølgernes Brusen,
“There will be signs in sun, moon, and stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, at the roaring and tossing of the sea;
26 medens Mennesker forsmægte af Frygt og Forventning om de Ting, som komme over Jorderige; thi Himmelens Kræfter skulle rystes.
men fainting from fear and expectation of the things coming on the inhabited earth—because the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
27 Og da skulle de se Menneskesønnen komme i Sky med Kraft og megen Herlighed.
Then they will see the Son of the Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
28 Men naar disse Ting begynde at ske, da ser op og opløfter eders Hoveder, efterdi eders Forløsning stunder til.”
Now when these things begin to happen, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”
29 Og han sagde dem en Lignelse: „Ser Figentræet og alle Træerne;
Then He told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees.
30 naar de alt springe ud, da se I og skønne af eder selv, at Sommeren nu er nær.
Whenever they are already budding, you see and know by yourselves that summer is now near.
31 Saaledes skulle ogsaa I, naar I se disse Ting ske, skønne, at Guds Rige er nær.
So you also, whenever you see these things happening, know that the Kingdom of God is near.
32 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at denne Slægt skal ingenlunde forgaa, førend det er sket alt sammen.
I tell you assuredly, this generation will certainly not pass away until all has happened.
33 Himmelen og Jorden skulle forgaa; men mine Ord skulle ingenlunde forgaa.
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will by no means pass away.
34 Men vogter eder, at eders Hjerter ikke nogen Tid besværes af Svir og Drukkenskab og timelige Bekymringer, saa hin Dag kommer pludseligt over eder som en Snare.
“But keep a watch on yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness, and cares of life, and that Day come upon you suddenly.
35 Thi komme skal den over alle dem, der bo paa hele Jordens Flade.
Because it will come like a trap upon all those who dwell on the surface of the whole earth.
36 Og vaager og beder til enhver Tid, for at I maa blive i Stand til at undfly alle disse Ting, som skulle ske, og bestaa for Menneskesønnen.”
So be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that are about to happen and to stand before the Son of the Man.”
37 Men han lærte om Dagene i Helligdommen, men om Nætterne gik han ud og overnattede paa det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget.
In the daytime He was teaching in the temple, but at night He went out and stayed on the mountain called ‘of Olives.’
38 Og hele Folket kom aarle til ham i Helligdommen for at høre ham.
Then early in the morning all the people would come to Him in the temple to hear Him.
