Matthæus 11
1 Og det skete, da Jesus var færdig med at give sine tolv Disciple Befaling, gik han videre derfra for at lære og prædike i deres Byer.
And so it was, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, that He moved on from there to teach and preach in their towns.
2 Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
But John, hearing in prison about the works of the Messiah, sent two of his disciples
3 „Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?‟
to say to Him, “Are you the Coming One, or do we look for another?”
4 Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Gaar hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I høre og se:
By way of answer Jesus said to them: “Go and report to John the things that you hear and see:
5 blinde se, og lamme gaa, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde staa op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
blind regain sight and lame walk, lepers are cleansed and deaf hear, dead are raised and the poor are evangelized.
6 og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.‟
And, blessed be whoever is not offended at Me!”
7 Men da disse gik bort, begyndte Jesus at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: „Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?
So as they departed Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see, a reed shaken by the wind?
8 Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som bære bløde Klæder, ere i Kongernes Huse.
But what did you go out to see, a man clothed in soft garments? Actually, those who wear soft material are in kings' houses.
9 Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet.
But really, what did you go out to see, a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
10 Thi han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej foran dig.
For this is he of whom it is written: ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way ahead of you.’
11 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større fremstaaet end Johannes Døberen; men den mindste i Himmeriges Rige er større end han.
Assuredly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer; but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
12 Men fra Johannes Døberens Dage indtil nu tages Himmeriges Rige med Vold, og Voldsmænd rive det til sig.
But from the days of John the Baptizer until now the kingdom of the heavens is being aggressive and aggressive people are seizing upon it.
13 Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
14 Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
and if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come.
15 Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
16 Men hvem skal jeg ligne denne Slægt ved? Den ligner Børn, som sidde paa Torvene og raabe til de andre og sige:
“But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in a marketplace and calling to their friends
17 Vi blæste paa Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.
and saying, ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance; we mourned for you and you did not lament.’
18 Thi Johannes kom, som hverken spiste eller drak, og de sige: Han er besat.
For John came neither eating nor drinking and they say, ‘He has a demon’;
19 Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og de sige: Se, en Fraadser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven! Dog, Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved sine Børn.‟
the Son of the Man came eating and drinking and they say, ‘Just look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Indeed, wisdom is vindicated by her children.”
20 Da begyndte han at skamme de Byer ud, i hvilke hans fleste kraftige Gerninger vare gjorte, fordi de ikke havde omvendt sig:
Then He began to reproach the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent.
21 „Ve dig, Korazin! ve dig, Bethsajda! thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i eder, vare skete i Tyrus og Sidon, da havde de for længe siden omvendt sig i Sæk og Aske.
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
22 Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end eder.
So I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the Day of judgment than for you!
23 Og du, Kapernaum! som er bleven ophøjet indtil Himmelen, du skal nedstødes indtil Dødsriget; thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i dig, vare skete i Sodoma, da var den bleven staaende indtil denne Dag. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum, ‘the one having been exalted to heaven’, you will be brought down to Hades! Because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
24 Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Sodomas Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end dig.‟
So I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of judgment than for you.”
25 Paa den Tid udbrød Jesus og sagde: „Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og aabenbaret det for umyndige.
At that time Jesus reacted and said: “‘I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to ‘babes’.
26 Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
Yes, Father, because thus it was good to You.’
27 Alle Ting ere mig overgivne af min Fader; og ingen kender Sønnen uden Faderen, og ingen kender Faderen uden Sønnen, og den, for hvem Sønnen vil aabenbare ham.
“All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one really knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone really know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son may will to reveal Him.
28 Kommer hid til mig alle, som lide Møje og ere besværede, og jeg vil give eder Hvile.
Come to me all you who are laboring and are loaded down, and I will give you rest.
29 Tager mit Aag paa eder, og lærer af mig; thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af Hjertet; saa skulle I finde Hvile for eders Sjæle.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, because I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls;
30 Thi mit Aag er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let.‟
for my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
