Lukas 8
1 Og det skete i Tiden derefter, at han rejste igennem Byer og Landsbyer og prædikede og forkyndte Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og med ham de tolv
Soon afterwards, he went about through cities and villages, preaching and bringing the good news of God’s Kingdom. With him were the twelve,
2 og nogle Kvinder, som vare helbredede fra onde Aander og Sygdomme, nemlig: Maria, der kaldes Magdalene, af hvem syv onde Aander vare udfarne;
and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out;
3 og Johanna, Herodes's Husfoged Kuzas Hustru, og Susanna og mange andre, som tjente dem med, hvad de ejede.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuzas, Herod’s steward; Susanna; and many others who served them from their possessions.
4 Men da en stor Skare kom sammen, og de droge til ham fra de forskellige Byer, sagde han ved en Lignelse:
When a great multitude came together and people from every city were coming to him, he spoke by a parable:
5 „En Sædemand gik ud at saa sin Sæd; og idet han saaede, faldt noget ved Vejen og blev nedtraadt, og Himmelens Fugle aade det op.
“The farmer went out to sow his seed. As he sowed, some fell along the road, and it was trampled under foot, and the birds of the sky devoured it.
6 Og noget faldt paa Klippen; og da det voksede op, visnede det, fordi det ikke havde Væde.
Other seed fell on the rock, and as soon as it grew, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 Og noget faldt midt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op med og kvalte det.
Other fell amid the thorns, and the thorns grew with it and choked it.
8 Og noget faldt i den gode Jord, og det voksede op og bar hundrede Fold Frugt.‟ Da han sagde dette, raabte han: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
Other fell into the good ground and grew and produced one hundred times as much fruit.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”
9 Men hans Disciple spurgte ham, hvad denne Lignelse skulde betyde?
Then his disciples asked him, “What does this parable mean?”
10 Og han sagde: „Eder er det givet at kende Guds Riges Hemmeligheder, men de andre i Lignelser, for at de, skønt seende, ikke skulle se, og, skønt hørende, ikke skulle forstaa.
He said, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of God’s Kingdom, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 Men dette er Lignelsen: Sæden er Guds Ord.
“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 Men de ved Vejen ere de, som høre det; derefter kommer Djævelen og tager Ordet bort af deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle tro og blive frelste.
Those along the road are those who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
13 Men de paa Klippen ere de, som modtage Ordet med Glæde, naar de høre det, og disse have ikke Rod; de tro til en Tid og falde fra i Fristelsens Tid.
Those on the rock are they who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; but these have no root. They believe for a while, then fall away in time of temptation.
14 Men det, som faldt iblandt Torne, det er dem, som have hørt og saa gaa hen og kvæles under Livets Bekymringer og Rigdom og Nydelser og ikke bære moden Frugt.
What fell amongst the thorns, these are those who have heard, and as they go on their way they are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life; and they bring no fruit to maturity.
15 Men det i den gode Jord, det er dem, som, naar de have hørt Ordet, beholde det i et smukt og godt Hjerte og bære Frugt i Udholdenhed.
Those in the good ground, these are those who with an honest and good heart, having heard the word, hold it tightly, and produce fruit with perseverance.
16 Men ingen, som tænder et Lys, skjuler det med et Kar eller sætter det under en Bænk; men han sætter det paa en Lysestage, for at de, som komme ind, kunne se Lyset.
“No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a container or puts it under a bed; but puts it on a stand, that those who enter in may see the light.
17 Thi der er ikke noget skjult, som jo skal blive aabenbart; og ikke noget lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt og komme for Lyset.
For nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.
18 Ser derfor til, hvorledes I høre; thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, han synes at have.‟
Be careful therefore how you hear. For whoever has, to him will be given; and whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he thinks he has.”
19 Men hans Moder og Brødre kom til ham og kunde ikke naa frem til ham for Skaren.
His mother and brothers came to him, and they could not come near him for the crowd.
20 Og det blev ham meddelt: „Din Moder og dine Brødre staa udenfor og begære at se dig.‟
Some people told him, “Your mother and your brothers stand outside, desiring to see you.”
21 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Min Moder og mine Brødre ere disse, som høre Guds Ord og gøre efter det.‟
But he answered them, “My mother and my brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”
22 Og det skete en af de Dage, at han gik om Bord i et Skib tillige med sine Disciple, og han sagde til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side af Søen; ‟ og de sejlede ud.
Now on one of those days, he entered into a boat, himself and his disciples, and he said to them, “Let’s go over to the other side of the lake.” So they launched out.
23 Men medens de sejlede, faldt han i Søvn; og en Stormvind for ned over Søen, og Skibet blev fuldt af Vand, og de vare i Fare.
But as they sailed, he fell asleep. A wind storm came down on the lake, and they were taking on dangerous amounts of water.
24 Da traadte de hen og vækkede ham og sagde: „Mester, Mester! vi forgaa.‟ Men han stod op og truede Vinden og Vandets Bølger; og de lagde sig, og det blev blikstille.
They came to him and awoke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are dying!” He awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water; then they ceased, and it was calm.
25 Og han sagde til dem: „Hvor er eders Tro?‟ Men de frygtede og undrede sig og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden han byder baade over Vindene og Vandet, og de ere ham lydige?‟
He said to them, “Where is your faith?” Being afraid, they marvelled, saying to one another, “Who is this then, that he commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?”
26 Og de sejlede ind til Gadarenernes Land, som ligger lige over for Galilæa.
Then they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee.
27 Men da han traadte ud paa Landjorden, mødte der ham en Mand fra Byen, som i lang Tid havde været besat af onde Aander og ikke havde haft Klæder paa og ikke opholdt sig i Hus, men i Gravene.
When Jesus stepped ashore, a certain man out of the city who had demons for a long time met him. He wore no clothes, and didn’t live in a house, but in the tombs.
28 Men da han saa Jesus, raabte han og faldt ned for ham og sagde med høj Røst: „Hvad har jeg med dig at gøre, Jesus, den højeste Guds Søn? jeg beder dig om, at du ikke vil pine mig.‟
When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, “What do I have to do with you, Jesus, you Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torment me!”
29 Thi han bød den urene Aand at fare ud af Manden; thi i lange Tider havde den revet ham med sig, og han blev bunden med Lænker og Bøjer og bevogtet, og han sønderrev, hvad man bandt ham med, og dreves af den onde Aand ud i Ørkenerne.
For Jesus was commanding the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For the unclean spirit had often seized the man. He was kept under guard and bound with chains and fetters. Breaking the bonds apart, he was driven by the demon into the desert.
30 Men Jesus spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er dit Navn?‟ Men han sagde: „Legion‟; thi mange onde Aander vare farne i ham.
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He said, “Legion,” for many demons had entered into him.
They begged him that he would not command them to go into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 men der var sammesteds en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede paa Bjerget; og de bade ham om, at han vilde tilstede dem at fare i dem; og han tilstedte dem det.
Now there was there a herd of many pigs feeding on the mountain, and they begged him that he would allow them to enter into those. Then he allowed them.
33 Men de onde Aander fore ud af Manden og fore i Svinene, og Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og druknede.
The demons came out of the man and entered into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned.
34 Men da Hyrderne saa det, som var sket, flyede de og forkyndte det i Byen og paa Landet.
When those who fed them saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Da gik de ud for at se det, som var sket, og de kom til Jesus og fandt Manden, af hvem de onde Aander vare udfarne, siddende ved Jesu Fødder, paaklædt og ved Samling; og de frygtede.
People went out to see what had happened. They came to Jesus and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, clothed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Og de, som havde set det, fortalte dem, hvorledes den besatte var bleven frelst.
Those who saw it told them how he who had been possessed by demons was healed.
37 Og hele Mængden fra Gadarenernes Omegn bad ham om, at han vilde gaa bort fra dem; thi de vare betagne af stor Frygt. Men han gik om Bord i et Skib og vendte tilbage igen.
All the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes asked him to depart from them, for they were very much afraid. Then he entered into the boat and returned.
38 Men Manden, af hvem de onde Aander vare udfarne, bad ham om, at han maatte være hos ham; men han lod ham fare og sagde:
But the man from whom the demons had gone out begged him that he might go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 „Vend tilbage til dit Hus, og fortæl, hvor store Ting Gud har gjort imod dig.‟ Og han gik bort og kundgjorde over hele Byen, hvor store Ting Jesus havde gjort imod ham.
“Return to your house, and declare what great things God has done for you.” He went his way, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.
40 Men det skete, da Jesus kom tilbage, tog Skaren imod ham; thi de ventede alle paa ham.
When Jesus returned, the multitude welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him.
41 Og se, der kom en Mand, som hed Jairus, og han var Forstander for Synagogen; og han faldt ned for Jesu Fødder og bad ham komme ind i hans Hus;
Behold, a man named Jairus came. He was a ruler of the synagogue. He fell down at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come into his house,
42 thi han havde en enbaaren Datter, omtrent tolv Aar gammel, og hun droges med Døden. Men idet han gik, trængte Skarerne sig sammen om ham.
for he had an only born daughter, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. But as he went, the multitudes pressed against him.
43 Og en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv Aar og havde kostet al sin Formue paa Læger og ikke kunde blive helbredet af nogen,
A woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her living on physicians and could not be healed by any,
44 hun gik til bagfra og rørte ved Fligen af hans Klædebon, og straks standsedes hendes Blodflod.
came behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak. Immediately the flow of her blood stopped.
45 Og Jesus sagde: „Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?‟ Men da alle nægtede det, sagde Peter og de, som vare med ham: „Mester! Skarerne trykke og trænge dig, og du siger: Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?‟
Jesus said, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes press and jostle you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’”
46 Men Jesus sagde: „Der rørte nogen ved mig; thi jeg mærkede, at der udgik en Kraft fra mig.‟
But Jesus said, “Someone did touch me, for I perceived that power has gone out of me.”
47 Men da Kvinden saa, at det ikke var skjult, kom hun bævende og faldt ned for ham og fortalte i alt Folkets Paahør, af hvad Aarsag hun havde rørt ved ham, og hvorledes hun straks var bleven helbredet.
When the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him declared to him in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.
48 Men han sagde til hende: „Datter! din Tro har frelst dig; gaa bort med Fred!‟
He said to her, “Daughter, cheer up. Your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”
49 Medens han endnu talte, kommer der en fra Synagogeforstanderens Hus og siger til ham: „Din Datter er død; umag ikke Mesteren!‟
While he still spoke, one from the ruler of the synagogue’s house came, saying to him, “Your daughter is dead. Don’t trouble the Teacher.”
50 Men da Jesus hørte det, svarede han ham: „Frygt ikke; tro blot; saa skal hun blive frelst.‟
But Jesus hearing it, answered him, “Don’t be afraid. Only believe, and she will be healed.”
51 Men da han kom til Huset, tillod han ingen at gaa ind med sig uden Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Pigens Fader og Moder.
When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.
52 Og de græd alle og holdt Veklage over hende; men han sagde: „Græder ikke; hun er ikke død, men sover.‟
All were weeping and mourning her, but he said, “Don’t weep. She isn’t dead, but sleeping.”
53 Og de lo ad ham; thi de vidste, at hun var død.
They were ridiculing him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Men han greb hendes Haand og raabte og sagde: „Pige, staa op!‟
But he put them all outside, and taking her by the hand, he called, saying, “Child, arise!”
55 Og hendes Aand vendte tilbage, og hun stod straks op; og han befalede, at de skulde give hende noget at spise.
Her spirit returned, and she rose up immediately. He commanded that something be given to her to eat.
56 Og hendes Forældre bleve forfærdede; men han bød dem, at de ikke maatte sige nogen det, som var sket.
Her parents were amazed, but he commanded them to tell no one what had been done.
