Matthæus 23
1 Da talte Jesus til Skarerne og til sine Disciple og sagde:
Then Yeshua [Salvation] spoke to the multitudes and to his disciples,
2 „Paa Mose Stol sidde de skriftkloge og Farisæerne.
saying, “The Torah-Teachers and the Pharisees [Separated] sat on Moses [Drawn out]’ seat.
3 Gører og holder derfor alt, hvad de sige eder; men gører ikke efter deres Gerninger; thi de sige det vel, men gøre det ikke.
All things therefore whatever they tell you to observe, observe and do, but don’t do their works; for they say, and don’t do.
4 Men de binde svare Byrder, vanskelige at bære, og lægge dem paa Menneskenes Skuldre; men selv ville de ikke bevæge dem med en Finger.
For they bind heavy burdens that are grievous to be borne, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not lift a finger to help them.
5 Men de gøre alle deres Gerninger for at beskues af Menneskene; thi de gøre deres Bederemme brede og Kvasterne paa deres Klæder store.
But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad, enlarge the tzitziyot ·tassles· of their garments,
6 Og de ville gerne sidde øverst til Bords ved Maaltiderne og paa de fornemste Pladser i Synagogerne
and phileo ·affectionately love, have high regard for· the place of honor at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues,
7 og lade sig hilse paa Torvene og kaldes Rabbi af Menneskene.
the salutations in the marketplaces, and to be called ‘Rabbi ·Teacher·' by men.
8 Men I skulle ikke lade eder kalde Rabbi; thi een er eders Mester, men I ere alle Brødre.
But don’t you be called ‘Rabbi ·Teacher·,’ for one is your teacher, the Messiah [Anointed one], and all of you are brothers.
9 Og I skulle ikke kalde nogen paa Jorden eders Fader; thi een er eders Fader, han, som er i Himlene.
Call no man on the earth 'Avikah ·your Father·, for one is 'Avikah ·your Father·, he who is in heaven.
10 Ej heller skulle I lade eder kalde Vejledere; thi een er eders Vejleder, Kristus.
Neither be called masters, for one is your master, the Messiah [Anointed one].
11 Men den største iblandt eder skal være eders Tjener.
But he who is greatest among you will be your servant.
12 Men den, som ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres, og den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes.
Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
13 Men ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I tillukke Himmeriges Rige for Menneskene; thi I gaa ikke derind, og dem, som ville gaa ind, tillade I det ikke.
“Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and as a pretense you make long prayers. Therefore you will receive greater condemnation.
14 [Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I opæde Enkers Huse og bede paa Skrømt længe; derfor skulle I faa des haardere Dom.]
“But woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! Because you shut up the Kingdom of Heaven (God) against men; for you don’t enter in yourselves, neither do you allow those who are entering in to enter.
15 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I drage om til Vands og til Lands for at vinde en eneste Tilhænger; og naar han er bleven det, gøre I ham til et Helvedes Barn, dobbelt saa slemt, som I selv ere. (Geenna g1067)
Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you travel around by sea and land to make one convert; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much of a son of Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead) as yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Ve eder, I blinde Vejledere! I, som sige: Den, som sværger ved Templet, det er intet; men den, som sværger ved Guldet i Templet, han er forpligtet.
“Woe to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obligated.’
17 I Daarer og blinde! hvilket er da størst? Guldet eller Templet, som helliger Guldet?
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?
18 Fremdeles: Den, som sværger ved Alteret, det er intet; men den, som sværger ved Gaven derpaa, han er forpligtet.
‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obligated?’
19 I Daarer og blinde! hvilket er da størst? Gaven eller Alteret, som helliger Gaven?
You blind fools! For which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?
20 Derfor, den, som sværger ved Alteret, sværger ved det og ved alt det, som er derpaa.
He therefore who swears by the altar, swears by it, and by everything on it.
21 Og den, som sværger ved Templet, sværger ved det og ved ham, som bor deri.
He who swears by the temple, swears by it, and by him who was living in it.
22 Og den, som sværger ved Himmelen, sværger ved Guds Trone og ved ham, som sidder paa den.
He who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him who sits on it.
23 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I give Tiende af Mynte og Dild og Kommen og have forsømt de Ting i Loven, der have større Vægt, Retten og Barmhjertigheden og Troskaben. Disse Ting burde man gøre og ikke forsømme hine.
“Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you tithe mint, dill, and cumin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the Torah ·Teaching·: justice, eleos ·merciful compassion in action·, and faithfulness. These are the things you should have attended to, without neglecting the others!
24 I blinde Vejledere, I, som si Myggen af, men nedsluge Kamelen!
You blind guides, who strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel!
25 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I rense det udvendige af Bægeret og Fadet, men indvendigt ere de fulde af Rov og Umættelighed.
“Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and unrighteousness.
26 Du blinde Farisæer! rens først det indvendige af Bægeret og Fadet, for at ogsaa det udvendige af dem kan blive rent.
You blind Pharisee [Separated], first clean the inside of the cup and of the platter, that its outside may become clean also.
27 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I ere ligesom kalkede Grave, der jo synes dejlige udvendigt, men indvendigt ere fulde af døde Ben og al Urenhed.
“Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you are like whitened tombs, which outwardly appear beautiful, but inwardly are full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Saaledes synes ogsaa I vel udvortes retfærdige for Menneskene; men indvortes ere I fulde af Hykleri og Lovløshed.
Even so you also outwardly appear upright to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and far from Torah ·Teaching·.
29 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I bygge Profeternes Grave og pryde de retfærdiges Gravsteder og sige:
“Woe to you, Torah-Teachers and Pharisees [Separated], hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets, and decorate the tombs of the upright,
30 Havde vi været til i vore Fædres Dage, da havde vi ikke været delagtige med dem i Profeternes Blod.
and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we wouldn’t have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
31 Altsaa give I eder selv det Vidnesbyrd, at I ere Sønner af dem, som have ihjelslaaet Profeterne.
Therefore you testify to yourselves that you are children of those who killed the prophets.
32 Saa gører da ogsaa I eders Fædres Maal fuldt!
Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers.
You serpents, you offspring of vipers, how will you escape the judgment of Gehenna (Place of fiery torment for the dead)? (Geenna g1067)
34 Derfor se, jeg sender til eder Profeter og vise og skriftkloge; nogle af dem skulle I slaa ihjel og korsfæste, og nogle af dem skulle I hudstryge i eders Synagoger og forfølge fra Stad til Stad,
Therefore behold, I send to you prophets, wise men, and Torah-Teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city;
35 for at alt det retfærdige Blod skal komme over eder, som er udgydt paa Jorden, fra den retfærdige Abels Blod indtil Sakarias's, Barakias's Søns, Blod, hvem I sloge ihjel imellem Templet og Alteret.
that on you may come all the upright blood shed on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel [Vanity, Mourning] to the blood of Zachariah son of Barachiah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar.
36 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, alt dette skal komme over denne Slægt.
Most certainly I tell you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! som ihjelslaar Profeterne og stener dem, som ere sendte til dig, hvor ofte vilde jeg samle dine Børn, ligesom en Høne samler sine Kyllinger under Vingerne! Og I vilde ikke.
“Jerusalem [City of peace], Jerusalem [City of peace], who kills the prophets, and stones those who are sent to her! How often I would have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you would not!
38 Se, eders Hus lades eder øde!
Behold, your house is left to you desolate.
39 Thi jeg siger eder: I skulle ingenlunde se mig fra nu af, indtil I sige: Velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn!‟
For I tell you, you will not see me from now on, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]!’”
