Markus 4
1 Og han begyndte atter at lære ved Søen. Og en meget stor Skare samles om ham, saa at han maatte gaa om Bord og sætte sig i et Skib paa Søen; og hele Skaren var paa Land ved Søen.
And again He began to teach by the sea: and a great multitude is gathered unto Him, so that He having gone into a ship, sat on the sea; and the whole multitude was at the sea on the land.
2 Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
And He was teaching them many things in parables, and in His teaching He said to them,
3 „Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
Hear: Behold, a sower went out to sow:
4 Og det skete, idet han saaede, at noget faldt ved Vejen, og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
and it came to pass while he was sowing, some fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured it.
5 Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
And other fell upon stones, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth:
6 Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
and when the sun arose, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
And other fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up, and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
8 Og noget faldt i god Jord og bar Frugt, som skød frem og voksede, og det bar tredive og tresindstyve og hundrede Fold.‟
And other fell in good ground, and springing up and growing, gave fruit, and produced, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
9 Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
And He said, Let the one having ears to hear, hear.
10 Og da han blev ene, spurgte de, som vare om ham, tillige med de tolv ham om Lignelserne.
And when they were alone, and those around Him along with the twelve asked Him the parable.
11 Og han sagde til dem: „Eder er Guds Riges Hemmelighed givet; men dem, som ere udenfor, meddeles alt ved Lignelser,
And He said to them, To you it has been given the mystery of the kingdom of God: but to them who are without, all things are in parables:
12 for at de, skønt seende, skulle se og ikke indse og, skønt hørende, skulle høre og ikke forstaa, for at de ikke skulle omvende sig og faa Forladelse.‟
in order that seeing they may see, and not know; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they may turn, and their sins may he forgiven unto them.
13 Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
And He says to them, Do you not understand this parable? and how will you know all parables?
14 Sædemanden saar Ordet.
The sower sows the word.
15 Men de ved Vejen, det er dem, hvor Ordet bliver saaet, og naar de høre det, kommer straks Satan og borttager Ordet, som er saaet i dem.
And those who are by the way-side, where the word is sown; and when they hear it, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which was sown in their hearts.
16 Og ligeledes de, som blive saaede paa Stengrunden, det er dem, som, naar de høre Ordet, straks modtage det med Glæde;
And those who are sowed upon the rocks are likewise, those who, when they may hear the word, immediately with joy receive it.
17 og de have ikke Rod i sig, men holde kun ud til en Tid; derefter, naar der kommer Trængsel eller Forfølgelse for Ordets Skyld, forarges de straks.
And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary; then tribulation or persecution arising on account of the word, they are immediately offended:
18 Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
and others are those who are sown among the thorns; they are those hearing the word,
19 og denne Verdens Bekymringer og Rigdommens Forførelse og Begæringerne efter de andre Ting komme ind og kvæle Ordet, saa det bliver uden Frugt. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of the age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and desires concerning other things coming into them, choke out the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Og de, der bleve saaede i god Jord, det er dem, som høre Ordet og modtage det og bære Frugt, tredive og tresindstyve og hundrede Fold.‟
And these are they who are sown on good ground; whosoever hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred.
21 Og han sagde til dem: „Mon Lyset kommer ind for at sættes under Skæppen eller under Bænken? Mon ikke for at sættes paa Lysestagen?
And He said to them; Whether does the light come, that it may be placed under a bushel, or under a bed? is it not that it may be placed on a candlestick?
22 Thi ikke er noget skjult uden for at aabenbares; ej heller er det blevet lønligt uden for at komme for Lyset.
For there is nothing hidden which may not be made manifest; neither is there any thing concealed, but that it may come into the light.
23 Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
If any one has ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Og han sagde til dem: „Agter paa, hvad I høre! Med hvad Maal I maale, skal der tilmaales eder, og der skal gives eder end mere.
And He said to them. See what you hear: with what measure you measure it shall be measured unto you: and it shall be added unto you who hear.
25 Thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.‟
For whosoever has, it shall be given unto him: and he who has not, it shall be taken from him even that which he has.
26 Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
And He said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as a man may cast seed on the ground;
27 og sover og staar op Nat og Dag, og Sæden spirer og bliver høj, han ved ej selv hvorledes.
and he may sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed germinates and grows, as he does not know.
28 Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
The earth spontaneously brings forth fruit; first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn in the ear.
29 men naar Frugten er tjenlig, sender han straks Seglen ud; thi Høsten er for Haanden.‟
And when the fruit may develop, immediately he thrusts in the sickle, because the harvest is at hand.
30 Og han sagde: „Hvormed skulle vi ligne Guds Rige, eller under hvilken Lignelse skulle vi fremstille det?
And He said, To what may we liken the kingdom of God? or in what parable may we present it?
31 Det er som et Sennepskorn, som, naar det saas i Jorden, er mindre end alt andet Frø paa Jorden,
Tis like a grain of mustard seed, which when it may be sown upon the earth, is the smallest of all seeds which are upon the earth,
32 og naar det er saaet, vokser det op og bliver større end alle Urterne og skyder store Grene, saa at Himmelens Fugle kunne bygge Rede i dets Skygge.‟
and when it may be sowed, it springs up, and becomes the greatest of herbs, and produces great branches; so that the birds of the heavens are able to lodge under its shadow.
33 Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
And in many such parables He continued to speak the word to them, as they were able to hear.
34 Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
And without a parable He did not speak to them: and He privately expounded all things to His disciples.
35 Og paa den Dag, da det var blevet Aften, siger han til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side!‟
And He says to them, on that day, it being evening, Let us go away to the other side.
36 Og de forlade Folkeskaren og tage ham med, som han sad i Skibet; men der var ogsaa andre Skibe med ham.
And leaving the multitude, they receive Him, as He was in the ship; and other ships were also with Him.
37 Og der kommer en stærk Stormvind, og Bølgerne sloge ind i Skibet, saa at Skibet allerede var ved at fyldes.
And there was a great storm of wind: and the waves were dashing into the ship, so that it was already filled.
38 Og han var i Bagstavnen og sov paa en Hovedpude, og de vække ham og sige til ham: „Mester! bryder du dig ikke om, at vi forgaa?‟
And He was in the stern, sleeping on a pillow: and they awaken Him, and say to Him; Teacher, is there no care to thee that we perish?
39 Og han stod op og truede Vinden og sagde til Søen: „Ti, vær stille!‟ og Vinden lagde sig, og det blev ganske blikstille.
And being awakened, He said to the sea, Be calm, be quiet. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 Og han sagde til dem: „Hvorfor ere I saa bange? Hvorfor have I ikke Tro?‟
And He said to them, Why are you so cowardly? how have you not faith?
41 Og de frygtede saare og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden baade Vinden og Søen ere ham lydige?‟
And they feared with a great fear, and continued to say to one another, Who then is this, because the wind and the sea obey Him?
