Matthæus 10
1 Og han kaldte sine tolv Disciple til sig og gav dem Magt over urene Aander, til at uddrive dem og at helbrede enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority to cast out unclean spirits and to heal every disease and every sickness.
2 Og disse ere de tolv Apostles Navne: Først Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, og Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder,
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Filip og Bartholomæus, Thomas og Tolderen Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn, og Lebbæus med Tilnavn Thaddæus,
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was given the name Thaddaeus;
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forraadte ham.
Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
5 Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: „Gaar ikke hen paa Hedningers Vej, og gaar ikke ind i Samaritaners By!
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Do not go anywhere among the Gentiles, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans,
6 Men gaar hellere hen til de fortabte Faar af Israels Hus!
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Men paa eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.
As you go, preach that the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.
8 Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Aander! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
Heal the sick, cleanse lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
Take no gold, silver, or copper in your belts.
10 ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
Take no knapsack for your journey, no extra tunic, sandals, or staffs, for the worker is worthy of his food.
11 Men hvor I komme ind i en By eller Landsby, der skulle I spørge, hvem i den der er det værd, og der skulle I blive, indtil I drage bort.
Whenever you enter a town or village, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave that place.
12 Men naar I gaa ind i Huset, da hilser det;
As you enter the house, greet the people who live there.
13 og dersom Huset er det værd, da komme eders Fred over det; men dersom det ikke er det værd, da vende eders Fred tilbage til eder!
If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Og dersom nogen ikke modtager eder og ej hører eders Ord, da gaar ud af det Hus eller den By og ryster Støvet af eders Fødder!
If anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you go out from that house or town.
15 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, det skal gaa Sodomas og Gomorras Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end den By.
Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
16 Se, jeg sender eder som Faar midt iblandt Ulve; vorder derfor snilde som Slanger og enfoldige som Duer!
“Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and as innocent as doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Raadsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and flog you in their synagogues.
18 Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
For my sake you will even be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19 Men naar de overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvad I skulle tale; thi det skal gives eder i den samme Time, hvad I skulle tale.
When they hand you over, do not be anxious about how to speak or what to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.
20 Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Aand, som taler i eder.
For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 Men Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn, og Børn skulle sætte sig op imod Forældre og slaa dem ihjel.
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child, and children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.
22 Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld; men den, som holder ud indtil Enden, han skal blive frelst.
You will be hated by all because of my name, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
23 Men naar de forfølge eder i een By, da flyr til en anden; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle ikke komme til Ende med Israels Byer, førend Menneskesønnen kommer.
When they persecute you in one town, flee to another, for truly I say to you, you will certainly not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor is a servant above his master.
25 Det er Discipelen nok, at han bliver som sin Mester, og Tjeneren som sin Herre. Have de kaldet Husbonden Beelzebul, hvor meget mere da hans Husfolk?
It is sufficient for a disciple to be like his teacher and for a servant to be like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!
26 Frygter altsaa ikke for dem; thi intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
“So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
27 Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker paa Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!
What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 Og frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel, men ikke kunne slaa Sjælen ihjel; men frygter hellere for ham, som kan fordærve baade Sjæl og Legeme i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul, but rather fear him who can destroy both the soul and the body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Sælges ikke to Spurve for en Penning? Og ikke een af dem falder til Jorden uden eders Faders Villie.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's consent.
30 Men paa eder ere endog alle Hovedhaar talte.
And even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Altsaa, enhver som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa jeg vedkende mig for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
“Therefore everyone who acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.
33 Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
34 Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at bringe Fred paa Jorden; jeg er ikke kommen for at bringe Fred, men Sværd.
“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Thi jeg er kommen for at volde Splid imellem en Mand og hans Fader og imellem en Datter og hendes Moder og imellem en Svigerdatter og hendes Svigermoder,
For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 og en Mands Husfolk skulle være hans Fjender.
And a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.
37 Den, som elsker Fader eller Moder mere end mig, er mig ikke værd; og den, som elsker Søn eller Datter mere end mig, er mig ikke værd;
Whoever loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; whoever loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 og den, som ikke tager sit Kors og følger efter mig, er mig ikke værd.
And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39 Den, som bjærger sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, skal bjærge det.
Whoever finds his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 Den, som modtager eder, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som udsendte mig.
“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
41 Den, som modtager en Profet, fordi han er en Profet, skal faa en Profets Løn; og den, som modtager en retfærdig, fordi han er en retfærdig, skal faa en retfærdigs Løn.
Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
42 Og den, som giver en af disse smaa ikkun et Bæger koldt Vand at drikke, fordi han er en Discipel, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal ingenlunde miste sin Løn.‟
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will certainly not lose his reward.”
