Matthæus 20
1 Thi Himmeriges Rige ligner en Husbonde, som gik ud tidligt om Morgenen for at leje Arbejdere til sin Vingaard.
For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is a householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
2 Og da han var bleven enig med Arbejderne om en Denar om Dagen, sendte han dem til sin Vingaard.
And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
3 Og han gik ud ved den tredje Time og saa andre staa ledige paa Torvet,
And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing in the marketplace idle;
4 og han sagde til dem: Gaar ogsaa I hen i Vingaarden, og jeg vil give eder, hvad som ret er. Og de gik derhen.
and to them he said, Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
5 Han gik atter ud ved den sjette og niende Time og gjorde ligesaa.
Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did likewise.
6 Og ved den ellevte Time gik han ud og fandt andre staaende der, og han siger til dem: Hvorfor staa I her ledige hele Dagen?
And about the eleventh [hour] he went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
7 De sige til ham: Fordi ingen lejede os. Han siger til dem: Gaar ogsaa I hen i Vingaarden!
They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard.
8 Men da det var blevet Aften, siger Vingaardens Herre til sin Foged: Kald paa Arbejderne, og betal dem deres Løn, idet du begynder med de sidste og ender med de første!
And when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and pay them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
9 Og de, som vare lejede ved den ellevte Time, kom og fik hver en Denar.
And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
10 Men da de første kom, mente de, at de skulde faa mere; og ogsaa de fik hver en Denar.
And when the first came, they supposed that they would receive more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
11 Men da de fik den, knurrede de imod Husbonden og sagde:
And when they received it, they murmured against the householder,
12 Disse sidste have kun arbejdet een Time, og du har gjort dem lige med os, som have baaret Dagens Byrde og Hede.
saying, These last have spent [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.
13 Men han svarede og sagde til en af dem: Ven! jeg gør dig ikke Uret; er du ikke bleven enig med mig om en Denar?
But he answered and said to one of them, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
14 Tag dit og gaa! Men jeg vil give denne sidste ligesom dig.
Take up that which is thine, and go thy way; it is my will to give unto this last, even as unto thee.
15 Eller har jeg ikke Lov at gøre med mit, hvad jeg vil? Eller er dit Øje ondt, fordi jeg er god?
Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? or is thine eye evil, because I am good?
16 Saaledes skulle de sidste blive de første, og de første de sidste; thi mange ere kaldede, men faa ere udvalgte.‟
So the last shall be first, and the first last.
17 Og da Jesus drog op til Jerusalem, tog han de tolv Disciple til Side og sagde til dem paa Vejen:
And as Jesus was going up to Jerusalem, he took the twelve disciples apart, and in the way he said unto them,
18 „Se, vi drage op til Jerusalem, og Menneskesønnen skal overgives til Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge; og de skulle dømme ham til Døden
Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests and scribes; and they shall condemn him to death,
19 og overgive ham til Hedningerne til at spottes og hudstryges og korsfæstes; og paa den tredje Dag skal han opstaa.‟
and shall deliver him unto the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify: and the third day he shall be raised up.
20 Da gik Zebedæus's Sønners Moder til ham med sine Sønner og faldt ned for ham og vilde bede ham om noget.
Then came to him the mother of the sons of Zebedee with her sons, worshipping [him], and asking a certain thing of him.
21 Men han sagde til hende: „Hvad vil du?‟ Hun siger til ham: „Sig, at disse mine to Sønner skulle i dit Rige sidde den ene ved din højre, den anden ved din venstre Side.‟
And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.
22 Men Jesus svarede og sagde: „I vide ikke, hvad I bede om. Kunne I drikke den Kalk, som jeg skal drikke?‟ De sige til ham: „Det kunne vi.‟
But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.
23 Han siger til dem: „Min Kalk skulle I vel drikke; men det at sidde ved min højre og ved min venstre Side tilkommer det ikke mig at give; men det gives til dem, hvem det er beredt af min Fader.‟
He saith unto them, My cup indeed ye shall drink: but to sit on my right hand, and on [my] left hand, is not mine to give, but [it is for them] for whom it hath been prepared of my Father.
24 Og da de ti hørte dette, bleve de vrede paa de to Brødre.
And when the ten heard it, they were moved with indignation concerning the two brethren.
25 Men Jesus kaldte dem til sig og sagde: „I vide, at Folkenes Fyrster herske over dem, og de store bruge Myndighed over dem.
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Ye know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them.
26 Saaledes skal det ikke være iblandt eder; men den, som vil blive stor iblandt eder, han skal være eders Tjener;
Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
27 og den, som vil være den ypperste iblandt eder, han skal være eders Træl.
and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
28 Ligesom Menneskesønnen ikke er kommen for at lade sig tjene, men for at tjene og give sit Liv til en Genløsning for mange.‟
even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 Og da de gik ud af Jeriko, fulgte en stor Folkeskare ham.
And as they went out from Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Og se, to blinde sade ved Vejen, og da de hørte, at Jesus gik forbi, raabte de og sagde: „Herre, forbarm dig over os, du Davids Søn!‟
And behold, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
31 Men Skaren truede dem, at de skulde tie; men de raabte endnu stærkere og sagde: „Herre, forbarm dig over os, du Davids Søn!‟
And the multitude rebuked them, that they should hold their peace: but they cried out the more, saying, Lord, have mercy on us, thou son of David.
32 Og Jesus stod stille og kaldte paa dem og sagde: „Hvad ville I, at jeg skal gøre for eder?‟
And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I should do unto you?
33 De sige til ham: „Herre! at vore Øjne maatte oplades.‟
They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Og Jesus ynkedes inderligt og rørte ved deres Øjne. Og straks bleve de seende, og de fulgte ham.
And Jesus, being moved with compassion, touched their eyes: and straightway they received their sight, and followed him.
