Matthæus 4
1 Da blev Jesus af Aanden ført op i Ørkenen for at fristes af Djævelen.
At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert in order to be tempted by the Devil.
2 Og da han havde fastet fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, blev han omsider hungrig.
There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He suffered from hunger.
3 Og Fristeren gik til ham og sagde: „Er du Guds Søn, da sig, at disse Stene skulle blive Brød.‟
So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into loaves."
4 Men han svarede og sagde: „Der er skrevet: Mennesket skal ikke leve af Brød alene, men af hvert Ord, som udgaar igennem Guds Mund.‟
"It is written," replied Jesus, "'It is not on bread alone that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'"
5 Da tager Djævelen ham med sig til den hellige Stad og stiller ham paa Helligdommens Tinde og siger til ham:
Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple,
6 „Er du Guds Søn, da kast dig herned; thi der er skrevet: Han skal give sine Engle Befaling om dig, og de skulle bære dig paa Hænder, for at du ikke skal støde din Fod paa nogen Sten.‟
and said, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, "'To His angels He will give orders concerning thee, and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'"
7 Jesus sagde til ham: „Der er atter skrevet: Du maa ikke friste Herren din Gud.‟
"Again it is written," replied Jesus, "'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
8 Atter tager Djævelen ham med sig op paa et saare højt Bjerg og viser ham alle Verdens Riger og deres Herlighed; og han sagde til ham:
Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain, from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world and their splendour,
9 „Alt dette vil jeg give dig, dersom du vil falde ned og tilbede mig.‟
and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel down and do me homage."
10 Da siger Jesus til ham: „Vig bort, Satan! thi der er skrevet: Du skal tilbede Herren din Gud og tjene ham alene.‟
"Begone, Satan!" Jesus replied; "for it is written, 'To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
11 Da forlader Djævelen ham, og se, Engle kom til ham og tjente ham.
Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and ministered to Him.
12 Men da Jesus hørte, at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, drog han bort til Galilæa.
Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison, He withdrew into Galilee,
13 Og han forlod Nazareth og kom og tog Bolig i Kapernaum, som ligger ved Søen, i Sebulons og Nafthalis Egne,
and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum, a town by the Lake on the frontiers of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
in order that these words, spoken through the Prophet Isaiah, might be fulfilled,
15 „Sebulons Land og Nafthalis Land langs Søen, Landet hinsides Jordan, Hedningernes Galilæa,
"Zebulun's land and Naphtali's land; the road by the Lake; the country beyond the Jordan; Galilee of the Nations!
16 det Folk, som sad i Mørke, har set et stort Lys, og for dem, som sad i Dødens Land og Skygge, for dem er der opgaaet et Lys.‟
The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a brilliant light; and on those who were dwelling in the region of the shadow of death, on them light has dawned."
17 Fra den Tid begyndte Jesus at prædike og sige: „Omvender eder, thi Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.‟
From that time Jesus began to preach. "Repent," He said, "for the Kingdom of the Heavens is now close at hand."
18 Men da han vandrede ved Galilæas Sø, saa han to Brødre, Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, i Færd med at kaste Garn i Søen; thi de vare Fiskere.
And walking along the shore of the Lake of Galilee He saw two brothers--Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew--throwing a drag-net into the Lake; for they were fishers.
19 Og han siger til dem: „Følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gøre eder til Menneskefiskere.‟
And He said to them, "Come and follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 Og de forlode straks Garnene og fulgte ham.
So they immediately left their nets and followed Him. As He went further on,
21 Og da han derfra gik videre, saa han to andre Brødre, Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder, i Skibet med deres Fader Zebedæus, i Færd med at bøde deres Garn, og han kaldte paa dem.
He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zabdi and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zabdi mending their nets; and He called them.
22 Og de forlode straks Skibet og deres Fader og fulgte ham.
And they at once left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23 Og Jesus gik omkring i hele Galilæa, idet han lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredte enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed iblandt Folket.
Then Jesus travelled through all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity among the people.
24 Og hans Ry kom ud over hele Syrien; og de bragte til ham alle dem, som lede af mange Haande Sygdomme og vare plagede af Lidelser, baade besatte og maanesyge og værkbrudne; og han helbredte dem.
Thus His fame spread through all Syria; and they brought all the sick to Him, the people who were suffering from various diseases and pains--demoniacs, epileptics, paralytics; and He cured them.
25 Og store Skarer fulgte ham fra Galilæa og Dekapolis og Jerusalem og Judæa og fra Landet hinsides Jordan.
And great crowds followed Him, coming from Galilee, from the Ten Towns, from Jerusalem, and from beyond the district on the other side of the Jordan.
