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 it came to pass, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
2 Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
3 „Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?‟
said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, 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:
And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare 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 receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
6 og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.‟
and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in 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?
And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out to the wilderness to view? 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? Behold, those wearing the soft things are in the kings’ houses.
9 Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet.
But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and 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 has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before 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.
Truly I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, [one] greater than John the Immerser, 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.
And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and violent men seize it by force,
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 was about to come;
15 Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
he who is having 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:
And to what will I liken this generation? It is like little children in marketplaces, sitting and calling to others,
17 Vi blæste paa Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.
and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.
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 Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of 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 were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.
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 in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had converted;
22 Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end eder.
but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable 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, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day; (Hadēs g86)
24 Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Sodomas Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end dig.‟
but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to 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 answering said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that You hid these things from wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to babies.
26 Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before 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 were delivered to Me by My Father, and none know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve 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 laboring and burdened ones, 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 up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,
30 Thi mit Aag er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let.‟
for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
