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 side: and a vast multitude was assembled about him, so that he went into a vessel to sit down on the sea, and all the multitude was on the land close by the sea.
2 Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
And he taught them in parables many things, and said unto them in the course of his teaching,
3 „Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
Hear me! 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 as he sowed, some fell by the road side, and the birds of the air came and ate it up.
5 Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
And some fell on a rocky soil, where it had not much mold, and immediately it sprung 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 up; and because it had not root, it withered away.
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it, and it produced 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 some fell on good ground, and produced fruit, growing up, and increasing, and yielded one part thirty fold, and another sixty, and another an hundred.
9 Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Og da han blev ene, spurgte de, som vare om ham, tillige med de tolv ham om Lignelserne.
But when they were alone, those who were about him with the twelve, asked him the meaning of 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 is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those 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.”
That seeing they may see, yet not perceive; and hearing may hear, yet not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
And he saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all parables?
14 Sædemanden saar Ordet.
The sower soweth 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.
Now these are they by the road side; where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan cometh, and taketh away the word sown on 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 these in like manner are they who were sown on the rocky soil; who when they have heard the word, instantly 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 have no root in themselves, but are temporary professors: afterwards, when tribulation cometh or persecution for the word’s sake, immediately they are offended.
18 Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
And those are the sown among the thorns; such as are hearers of 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)
but the anxious cares of this world, and the seducing nature of wealth, and inordinate desires after other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh 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 the good ground, such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirty fold, and some sixty, and some an 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 unto them, Is a lamp brought out to be put under a bushel, or under a bed, and not to be placed on a stand?
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 hid, but that it should be brought to light, nor is any thing concealed, but that it should come into open day.
23 Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
If any man hath 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 unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with the measure ye mete, shall it be measured back to you; and something over shall be given to you that 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 to him that hath, there shall more be given to him; but he that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him.
26 Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
And he said, The kingdom of heaven is of that kind, as if a man should cast seed into his field;
27 og sover og staar op Nat og Dag, og Sæden spirer og bliver høj, han ved ej selv hvorledes.
and sleep and rise, night and day, and the sown corn should sprout, and grow into length, he knoweth not how:
28 Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
for the earth, naturally prolific, beareth 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.”
But when the grain is ready, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because harvest is come.
30 Og han sagde: „Hvormed skulle vi ligne Guds Rige, eller under hvilken Lignelse skulle vi fremstille det?
And he said, To what shall I liken the kingdom of God, and under what parabolic figure shall I represent it?
31 Det er som et Sennepskorn, som, naar det saas i Jorden, er mindre end alt andet Frø paa Jorden,
It is like a grain of mustard, which when it is sown in the earth, is among the least of all the 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.”
but when it is sown, it groweth up and becomes greater than all herbaceous plants, and produceth vast branches; so that the birds of the air may roost under the shadow of it.
33 Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
And with many such like parables spake he to them the word.
34 Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
And without a parable spake he not unto them; but in private he explained them all 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 the same day he saith unto them, as the evening shut in, Let us pass over 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 sending the multitude away, they took him just as he was in the vessel; and there were also some other little vessels with him.
37 Og der kommer en stærk Stormvind, og Bølgerne sloge ind i Skibet, saa at Skibet allerede var ved at fyldes.
And a great hurricane arose, and the waves broke into the vessel, so that it was now full of water:
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 awoke him, and say unto him, Master, is it no concern to thee that we are perishing?
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 rising, he with authority charged the wind, and said to the sea, Silence! be still! And the wind subsided, 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 ye so timorous? How is it that ye have not confidence?
41 Og de frygtede saare og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden baade Vinden og Søen ere ham lydige?”
And they were filled with the most reverential awe, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
