Matthæus 21
1 Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
And when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, at the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 „Gaar hen i den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder; og straks skulle I finde en Aseninde bunden og et Føl hos hende; løser dem og fører dem til mig!
saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with it; loose [them] and lead [them] to me.
3 Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, saa skal han straks sende dem.‟
And if any one say anything to you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them, and straightway he will send them.
4 Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
But all this came to pass, that that might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 „Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende paa et Asen og paa et Trældyrs Føl.‟
Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold thy King cometh to thee, meek, and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.
6 Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
But the disciples, having gone and done as Jesus had ordered them,
7 og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder paa dem, og han satte sig derpaa.
brought the ass and the colt and put their garments upon them, and he sat on them.
8 Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder paa Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem paa Vejen.
But a very great crowd strewed their own garments on the way, and others kept cutting down branches from the trees and strewing them on the way.
9 Men Skarerne, som gik foran ham og fulgte efter, raabte og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Hosanna i det højeste!‟
And the crowds who went before him and who followed cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed [be] he who comes in the name of [the] Lord; hosanna in the highest.
10 Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: „Hvem er denne?‟
And as he entered into Jerusalem, the whole city was moved, saying, Who is this?
11 Men Skarerne sagde: „Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa.‟
And the crowds said, This is Jesus the prophet who is from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Og Jesus gik ind i Guds Helligdom og uddrev alle dem, som solgte og købte i Helligdommen, og han væltede Vekselerernes Borde og Duekræmmernes Stole.
And Jesus entered into the temple [of God], and cast out all that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those that sold the doves.
13 Og han siger til dem: „Der er skrevet: Mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus; men I gøre det til en Røverkule.‟
And he says to them, It is written, My house shall be called a house of prayer, but ye have made it a den of robbers.
14 Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
And blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Men da Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge saa de Undergerninger, som han gjorde, og Børnene, som raabte i Helligdommen og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn!‟ bleve de vrede og sagde til ham:
And when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonders which he wrought, and the children crying in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, they were indignant,
16 „Hører du, hvad disse sige?‟ Men Jesus siger til dem: „Ja! have I aldrig læst: Af umyndiges og diendes Mund har du beredt dig Lovsang?‟
and said to him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise?
17 Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
And leaving them he went forth out of the city to Bethany, and there he passed the night.
18 Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev han hungrig.
But early in the morning, as he came back into the city, he hungered.
19 Og han saa et Figentræ ved Vejen og gik hen til det, og han fandt intet derpaa uden Blade alene. Og han siger til det: „Aldrig i Evighed skal der vokse Frugt mere paa dig!‟ Og Figentræet visnede straks. (aiōn g165)
And seeing one fig-tree in the way, he came to it and found on it nothing but leaves only. And he says to it, Let there be never more fruit of thee for ever. And the fig-tree was immediately dried up. (aiōn g165)
20 Og da Disciplene saa det, forundrede de sig og sagde: „Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?‟
And when the disciples saw [it], they wondered, saying, How immediately is the fig-tree dried up!
21 Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro og ikke tvivle, da skulle I ikke alene kunne gøre det med Figentræet, men dersom I endog sige til dette Bjerg: Løft dig op og kast dig i Havet, da skal det ske.
And Jesus answering said to them, Verily I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what [is done] to the fig-tree, but even if ye should say to this mountain, Be thou taken away and be thou cast into the sea, it shall come to pass.
22 Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I faa.‟
And all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.
23 Og da han kom ind i Helligdommen, kom Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste hen til ham, medens han lærte, og de sagde: „Af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, og hvem har givet dig denne Magt?‟
And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him [as he was] teaching, saying, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
24 Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Ogsaa jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og dersom I sige mig det, vil ogsaa jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things:
25 Johannes's Daab, hvorfra var den? Fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?‟ Men de tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: „Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige til os: Hvorfor troede I ham da ikke?
The baptism of John, whence was it? of heaven or of men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we should say, Of heaven, he will say to us, Why then have ye not believed him?
26 Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, frygte vi for Mængden; thi de holde alle Johannes for en Profet.‟
but if we should say, Of men, we fear the crowd, for all hold John for a prophet.
27 Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: „Det vide vi ikke.‟ Da sagde ogsaa han til dem: „Saa siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
And answering Jesus they said, We do not know. He also said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Men hvad tykkes eder? En Mand havde to Børn; og han gik til den første og sagde: Barn! gaa hen, arbejd i Dag i min Vingaard!
But what think ye? A man had two children, and coming to the first he said, Child, go to-day, work in [my] vineyard.
29 Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
And he answering said, I will not; but afterwards repenting himself he went.
30 Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
And coming to the second he said likewise; and he answering said, I [go], sir, and went not.
31 Hvem af de to gjorde Faderens Villie?‟ De sige: „Den første.‟ Jesus siger til dem: „Sandelig siger jeg eder, at Toldere og Skøger gaa forud for eder ind i Guds Rige.
Which of the two did the will of the father? They say [to him], The first. Jesus says to them, Verily I say unto you that the tax-gatherers and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Thi Johannes kom til eder paa Retfærdigheds Vej, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men endskønt I saa det, fortrøde I det alligevel ikke bagefter, saa I troede ham.
For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the tax-gatherers and the harlots believed him; but ye when ye saw [it] repented not yourselves afterwards to believe him.
33 Hører en anden Lignelse: Der var en Husbonde, som plantede en Vingaard og satte et Gærde omkring den og gravede en Perse i den og byggede et Taarn; og han lejede den ud til Vingaardsmænd og drog udenlands.
Hear another parable: There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and made a fence round it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and left the country.
34 Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingaardsmændene for at faa dens Frugter.
But when the time of fruit drew near, he sent his bondmen to the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
35 Og Vingaardsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
And the husbandmen took his bondmen, and beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
36 Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligesaa med dem.
Again he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
37 Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will have respect for my son.
38 Men da Vingaardsmændene saa Sønnen, sagde de til hverandre: Det er Arvingen; kommer, lader os slaa ham ihjel og faa hans Arv!
But the husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and possess his inheritance.
39 Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel.
And they took him, and cast him forth out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Naar da Vingaardens Herre kommer, hvad vil han saa gøre med disse Vingaardsmænd?‟
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what shall he do to those husbandmen?
41 De sige til ham: „Ilde vil han ødelægge de onde og leje sin Vingaard ud til andre Vingaardsmænd, som ville give ham Frugterne i deres Tid.‟
They say to him, He will miserably destroy those evil [men], and let out the vineyard to other husbandmen, who shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus siger til dem: „Have I aldrig læst i Skrifterne: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten; fra Herren er dette kommet, og det er underligt for vore Øjne.
Jesus says to them, Have ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which they that builded rejected, this has become the corner-stone: this is of [the] Lord, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
43 Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God shall be taken from you and shall be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
44 Og den, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.‟
And he that falls on this stone shall be broken, but on whomsoever it shall fall, it shall grind him to powder.
45 Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
And the chief priests and the Pharisees, having heard his parables, knew that he spoke about them.
46 Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
And seeking to lay hold of him, they were afraid of the crowds, because they held him for a prophet.
