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.
Once again Jesus began to teach by the sea, and a large crowd was gathered around him. So he got into the boat and sat in it on the sea, while the entire crowd was beside the sea on the shore.
2 Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
Then he taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching he said to them,
3 „Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
“Listen! 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.
As he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds 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.
Other seed fell on rocky ground, where it did not have much soil, and it sprang up immediately because it had no depth of soil.
6 Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
But when the sun rose, 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.
Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up 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.‟
But other seed fell into good soil and produced fruit that grew and increased; some bore thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
9 Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
Then he said, “He who has 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.
When he was alone with the twelve and the others who were around him, they asked him about the parable.
11 Og han sagde til dem: „Eder er Guds Riges Hemmelighed givet; men dem, som ere udenfor, meddeles alt ved Lignelser,
So he said to them, “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those who are outside everything is spoken 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.‟
so that ‘they may see but not perceive, and hear but not understand, lest they should turn back and be forgiven of their sins.’”
13 Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
Then he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the other 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.
Now some people are like the seed along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is 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;
Likewise, some people are like the seed sown on rocky ground. When they hear the word, they immediately receive it with joy.
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.
Yet they have no root in themselves, but are only temporary. When tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
18 Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
Others are like the seed sown among the thorns. They hear 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 cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desire for other things enter in and choke 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.‟
But others are like the seed sown on the good soil. They hear the word, receive it, and bear fruit—some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred times more than what was sown.”
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?
He also said to them, “Is a lamp brought in to be put under a basket, or under a bed? Is it not brought in to be set on a lampstand?
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 that will not be made manifest, nor has anything been made secret except to come to light.
23 Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
If anyone 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.
Then he said to them, “Consider what you hear. With the measure you use it will be measured to you, and more will be added to 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 whoever has will be given more, but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”
26 Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
He also said, “The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed on the ground.
27 og sover og staar op Nat og Dag, og Sæden spirer og bliver høj, han ved ej selv hvorledes.
He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he does not know how.
28 Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
For the earth produces a crop by itself: first the stalk, then the head, then the full grain in the head.
29 men naar Frugten er tjenlig, sender han straks Seglen ud; thi Høsten er for Haanden.‟
When the crop is ready, the man immediately sends in the sickle, for the harvest has come.”
30 Og han sagde: „Hvormed skulle vi ligne Guds Rige, eller under hvilken Lignelse skulle vi fremstille det?
Then Jesus said, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? Or what parable can we use to describe 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 seed, which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on 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.‟
Yet when it is sown, it grows and becomes larger than all the garden plants and produces large branches, so that the birds of the sky can nest in its shade.”
33 Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
With many similar parables he spoke the word to them, to the extent that they were able to understand it.
34 Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
He did not speak to them without using a parable, but privately he explained everything to his disciples.
35 Og paa den Dag, da det var blevet Aften, siger han til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side!‟
On that day, when evening came, Jesus said to his disciples, “Let us cross over to the other side of the sea.”
36 Og de forlade Folkeskaren og tage ham med, som han sad i Skibet; men der var ogsaa andre Skibe med ham.
So they left the crowd and took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other little boats 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.
Now a great windstorm arose, and the waves were beating against the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
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?‟
But Jesus was in the stern, asleep on a cushion. So they woke him up and said to him, “Teacher, do yoʋ not care 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.
Then he woke up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” So 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?‟
Then he said to them, “Why are you so afraid? How is it that you have no faith?”
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 great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”
