Matthæus 15
1 Da kommer der fra Jerusalem Farisæere og skriftkloge til Jesus og sige:
Then there came to Jesus a party of Pharisees and Scribes from Jerusalem, who inquired,
2 „Hvorfor overtræde dine Disciple de gamles Overlevering? thi de to ikke deres Hænder, naar de holde Maaltid.‟
"Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the Elders by not washing their hands before meals?"
3 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Hvorfor overtræde ogsaa I Guds Bud for eders Overleverings Skyld?
"Why do you, too," He retorted, "transgress God's commands for the sake of your tradition?
4 Thi Gud har paabudt og sagt: „Ær din Fader og din Moder; ‟ og: „Den, som bander Fader eller Moder, skal visselig dø.‟
For God said, 'Honour thy father and thy mother'; and 'Let him who reviles father or mother be certainly put to death';
5 Men I sige: „Den, som siger til sin Fader eller sin Moder: „Det, hvormed du skulde være hjulpet af mig, skal være en Tempelgave, ‟ han skal ingenlunde ære sin Fader eller sin Moder.‟
but you--this is what you say: 'If a man says to his father or mother, That is consecrated, whatever it is, which otherwise you should have received from me--
6 Og I have ophævet Guds Lov for eders Overleverings Skyld.
he shall be absolved from honouring his father'; and so you have abrogated God's Word for the sake of your tradition.
7 I Hyklere! Rettelig profeterede Esajas om eder, da han sagde:
Hypocrites! well did Isaiah prophesy of you,
8 „Dette Folk ærer mig med Læberne; men deres Hjerte er langt borte fra mig.
"'This is a People who honour Me with their lips, while their heart is far away from Me;
9 Men de dyrke mig forgæves, idet de lære Lærdomme, som ere Menneskers Bud.‟
but it is in vain they worship Me, while they lay down precepts which are mere human rules.'"
10 Og han kaldte Folkeskaren til sig og sagde til dem: „Hører og forstaar!
Then, when He had called the people to Him, Jesus said, "Hear and understand.
11 Ikke det, som gaar ind i Munden, gør Mennesket urent, men det, som gaar ud af Munden, dette gør Mennesket urent.‟
It is not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him; but it is what comes out of his mouth--that defiles a man."
12 Da kom hans Disciple hen og sagde til ham: „Ved du, at Farisæerne bleve forargede, da de hørte den Tale?‟
Then His disciples came and said to Him, "Do you know that the Pharisees were greatly shocked when they heard those words?"
13 Men han svarede og sagde: „Enhver Plantning, som min himmelske Fader ikke har plantet, skal oprykkes med Rode.
"Every plant," He replied, "which my Heavenly Father has not planted will be rooted up.
14 Lader dem fare, det er blinde Vejledere for blinde; men naar en blind leder en blind, falde de begge i Graven.‟
Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind; and if a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into some pit."
15 Men Peter svarede og sagde til ham: „Forklar os Lignelsen!‟
"Explain to us this figurative language," said Peter.
16 Og han sagde: „Ere ogsaa I endnu saa uforstandige?
"Are even you," He answered, "still without intellingence?
17 Forstaa I endnu ikke, at alt, hvad der gaar ind i Munden, gaar i Bugen og føres ud ad den naturlige Vej?
Do you not understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the stomach and is afterwards ejected from the body?
18 Men det, som gaar ud af Munden, kommer ud fra Hjertet, og det gør Mennesket urent.
But the things that come out of the mouth proceed from the heart, and it is these that defile the man.
19 Thi ud fra Hjertet kommer der onde Tanker, Mord, Hor, Utugt, Tyverier, falske Vidnesbyrd, Forhaanelser.
For out of the heart proceed wicked thoughts, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, perjury, impiety of speech.
20 Det er disse Ting, som gøre Mennesket urent; men at spise med utoede Hænder gør ikke Mennesket urent.‟
These are the things which defile the man; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile."
21 Og Jesus gik bort derfra og drog til Tyrus's og Sidons Egne.
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew into the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon.
22 Og se, en kananæisk Kvinde kom fra disse Egne, raabte og sagde: „Herre, Davids Søn! forbarm dig over mig! min Datter plages ilde af en ond Aand.‟
Here a Canaanitish woman of the district came out and persistently cried out, "Sir, Son of David, pity me; my daughter is cruelly harassed by a demon."
23 Men han svarede hende ikke et Ord. Da traadte hans Disciple til, bade ham og sagde: „Skil dig af med hende, thi hun raaber efter os.‟
But He answered her not a word. Then the disciples interposed, and begged Him, saying, "Send her away because she keeps crying behind us."
24 Men han svarede og sagde: „Jeg er ikke udsendt uden til de fortabte Faar af Israels Hus.‟
"I have only been sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel," He replied.
25 Men hun kom og kastede sig ned for ham og sagde: „Herre, hjælp mig!‟
Then she came and threw herself at His feet and entreated Him. "O Sir, help me," she said.
26 Men han svarede og sagde: „Det er ikke smukt at tage Børnenes Brød og kaste det for de smaa Hunde.‟
"It is not right," He said, "to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
27 Men hun sagde: „Jo, Herre! de smaa Hunde æde jo dog ogsaa af de Smuler, som falde fra deres Herrers Bord.‟
"Be it so, Sir," she said, "for even the dogs eat the scraps which fall from their masters' tables."
28 Da svarede Jesus og sagde til hende: „O Kvinde, din Tro er stor, dig ske, som du vil!‟ Og hendes Datter blev helbredet fra samme Time.
"O woman," replied Jesus, "great is your faith: be it done to you as you desire." And from that moment her daughter was restored to health.
29 Og Jesus gik bort derfra og kom hen til Galilæas Sø, og han gik op paa Bjerget og satte sig der.
Again, moving thence, Jesus went along by the Lake of Galilee; and ascending the hill, He sat down there.
30 Og store Skarer kom til ham og havde lamme, blinde, stumme, Krøblinger og mange andre med sig; og de lagde dem for hans Fødder, og han helbredte dem,
Soon great crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were crippled in feet or hands, blind or dumb, and many besides, and they hastened to lay them at His feet. And He cured them,
31 saa at Skaren undrede sig, da de saa, at stumme talte, Krøblinger bleve raske, lamme gik, og blinde saa; og de priste Israels Gud.
so that the people were amazed to see the dumb speaking, the maimed with their hands perfect, the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they gave the glory to the God of Israel.
32 Men Jesus kaldte sine Disciple til sig og sagde: „Jeg ynkes inderligt over Skaren; thi de have allerede tøvet hos mig tre Dage og have intet at spise; og lade dem gaa fastende bort vil jeg ikke, for at de ikke skulle vansmægte paa Vejen.‟
But Jesus called His disciples to Him and said, "My heart yearns over this mass of people, for it is now the third day that they have been with me and they have nothing to eat. I am unwilling to send them away hungry, lest they should faint on the road."
33 Og hans Disciple sige til ham: „Hvorfra skulle vi faa saa mange Brød i en Ørken, at vi kunne mætte saa mange Mennesker?‟
"Where can we," asked the disciples, "get bread enough in this remote place to satisfy so vast a multitude?"
34 Og Jesus siger til dem: „Hvor mange Brød have I?‟ Men de sagde: „Syv og nogle faa Smaafisk.‟
"How many loaves have you?" Jesus asked. "Seven," they said, "and a few small fish."
35 Og han bød Skaren at sætte sig ned paa Jorden
So He bade all the people sit down on the ground,
36 og tog de syv Brød og Fiskene, takkede, brød dem og gav Disciplene dem, og Disciplene gave dem til Skarerne.
and He took the seven loaves and the fish, and after giving thanks He broke them up and then distributed them to the disciples, and they to the people.
37 Og de spiste alle og bleve mætte; og de opsamlede det, som blev tilovers af Stykkerne, syv Kurve fulde.
And they all ate and were satisfied. The broken portions that remained over they took up--seven full hampers.
38 Men de, som spiste, vare fire Tusinde Mænd, foruden Kvinder og Børn.
Those who ate were 4,000 adult men, without reckoning women and children.
39 Og da han havde ladet Skarerne gaa bort, gik han om Bord i Skibet og kom til Magadans Egne.
He then dismissed the people, went on board the boat, and came into the district of Magadan.
