Matthæus 9
1 Og han gik om Bord i et Skib og for over og kom til sin egen By.
Afterwards Jesus got into a boat, and, crossing over, came to his own city.
2 Og se, de bare til ham en værkbruden, som laa paa en Seng; og da Jesus saa deres Tro, sagde han til den værkbrudne: „Søn! vær frimodig, dine Synder forlades dig.‟
There some people brought to him a paralysed man on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, ‘Courage, child! Your sins are forgiven.’
3 Og se, nogle af de skriftkloge sagde ved sig selv: „Denne taler bespotteligt.‟
Then some of the teachers of the Law said to themselves, ‘This man is blaspheming!’
4 Og da Jesus saa deres Tanker, sagde han: „Hvorfor tænke I ondt i eders Hjerter?
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus exclaimed, ‘Why do your cherish such wicked thoughts?
5 Thi hvilket er lettest at sige: Dine Synder forlades dig, eller at sige: Staa op og gaa?
Which, I ask, is the easier? – to say “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say “Get up, and walk”?
6 Men for at I skulle vide, at Menneskesønnen har Magt paa Jorden til at forlade Synder, ‟ da siger han til den værkbrudne: „Staa op, og tag din Seng, og gaa til dit Hus!‟
But to show you that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins’ – then he said to the paralysed man – ‘Get up, take up your bed, and return to your home.’
7 Og han stod op og gik bort til sit Hus.
The man got up and went to his home.
8 Men da Skarerne saa det, frygtede de og priste Gud, som havde givet Menneskene en saadan Magt.
When the crowd saw this, they were awe-struck, and praised God for giving such power to human beings.
9 Og da Jesus gik videre derfra, saa han en Mand, som hed Matthæus, sidde ved Toldboden; og han siger til ham: „Følg mig!‟ Og han stod op og fulgte ham.
As Jesus went along, he saw a man, called Matthew, sitting in the tax office, and said to him, ‘Follow me.’ Matthew got up and followed him.
10 Og det skete, da han sad til Bords i Huset, se, da kom der mange Toldere og Syndere og sade til Bords med Jesus og hans Disciple.
And, later on, when he was having dinner in the house, a number of tax collectors and outcasts came in and took their places at the table with Jesus and his disciples.
11 Og da Farisæerne saa det, sagde de til hans Disciple: „Hvorfor spiser eders Mester med Toldere og Syndere?‟
When the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, ‘Why does your teacher eat in the company of tax collectors and outcasts?’
12 Men da Jesus hørte det, sagde han: „De raske trænge ikke til Læge, men de syge.
On hearing this, Jesus said, ‘It is not those who are healthy who need a doctor, but those who are ill.
13 Men gaar hen og lærer, hvad det vil sige: Jeg har Lyst til Barmhjertighed og ikke til Offer; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at kalde retfærdige, men Syndere.‟
Go and learn what this means – “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice”; for I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.’
14 Da komme Johannes's Disciple til ham og sige: „Hvorfor faste vi og Farisæerne meget, men dine Disciple faste ikke?‟
Then John’s disciples came to Jesus, and asked, ‘Why do we and the Pharisees fast while your disciples do not?’
15 Og Jesus sagde til dem: „Kunne Brudesvendene sørge, saa længe Brudgommen er hos dem? Men der skal komme Dage, da Brudgommen bliver tagen fra dem, og da skulle de faste.
Jesus answered, ‘Can the groom’s friends mourn as long as the groom is with them? But the days will come, when the groom will be taken away from them, and they will fast then.
16 Men ingen sætter en Lap af uvalket Klæde paa et gammelt Klædebon; thi Lappen river Klædebonnet itu, og der bliver et værre Hul.
Nobody ever puts a piece of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for such a patch tears away from the garment, and a worse tear is made.
17 Man kommer heller ikke ung Vin paa gamle Læderflasker, ellers sprænges Læderflaskerne, og Vinen spildes, og Læderflaskerne ødelægges; men man kommer ung Vin paa nye Læderflasker, saa blive begge Dele bevarede.‟
Nor do people put new wine into old wine-skins; for, if they do, the skins burst, and the wine runs out, and the skins are lost; but they put new wine into fresh skins, and so both are preserved.’
18 Medens han talte dette til dem, se, da kom der en Forstander og faldt ned for ham og sagde: „Min Datter er lige nu død; men kom og læg din Haand paa hende, saa bliver hun levende.‟
While Jesus was saying this, a synagogue leader came up and bowed to the ground before him. ‘My daughter,’ he said, ‘has just died; but come and place your hand on her, and she will be restored to life.’
19 Og Jesus stod op og fulgte ham med sine Disciple.
So Jesus rose and followed him, and his disciples went also.
20 Og se, en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv Aar, traadte hen bagfra og rørte ved Fligen af hans Klædebon;
But meanwhile a woman, who had been suffering from haemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind and touched the tassel of his cloak.
21 thi hun sagde ved sig selv: „Dersom jeg blot rører ved hans Klædebon, bliver jeg frelst.‟
‘If I only touch his cloak,’ she said to herself, ‘I will get well.’
22 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa hende, sagde han: „Datter! vær frimodig, din Tro har frelst dig.‟ Og Kvinden blev frelst fra den samme Time.
Turning and seeing her, Jesus said, ‘Courage, daughter! Your faith has delivered you.’ And at that very moment she became well.
23 Og da Jesus kom til Forstanderens Hus og saa Fløjtespillerne og Hoben, som larmede, sagde han:
When Jesus reached the leader’s house, seeing the flute players, and a number of people all in confusion,
24 „Gaar bort, thi Pigen er ikke død, men hun sover.‟ Og de lo ad ham.
he said, ‘Go away, the little girl is not dead; she is asleep.’ They began to laugh at him;
25 Men da Hoben var dreven ud, gik han ind og tog hende ved Haanden; og Pigen stod op.
but, when the people had been sent out, Jesus went in, and took the little girl’s hand, and she rose.
26 Og Rygtet herom kom ud i hele den Egn.
The report of this spread through all that part of the country.
27 Og da Jesus gik bort derfra, fulgte der ham to blinde, som raabte og sagde: „Forbarm dig over os, du Davids Søn!‟
As Jesus was passing on from there, he was followed by two blind men, who kept calling out, ‘Take pity on us, Son of David!’
28 Men da han kom ind i Huset, gik de blinde til ham; og Jesus siger til dem: „Tro I, at jeg kan gøre dette?‟ De sige til ham: „Ja, Herre!‟
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came up to him; and Jesus asked them, ‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ ‘Yes, Master!’ they answered.
29 Da rørte han ved deres Øjne og sagde: „Det ske eder efter eders Tro!‟
Then he touched their eyes, and said, ‘It will be according to your faith.’
30 Og deres Øjne bleve aabnede. Og Jesus bød dem strengt og sagde: „Ser til, lad ingen faa det at vide.‟
Then their eyes were opened. Jesus sternly cautioned them. ‘See that no one knows of it,’ he said.
31 Men de gik ud og udbredte Rygtet om ham i hele den Egn.
But the men went out, and spread the news about him through all that part of the country.
32 Men da disse gik ud, se, da førte de til ham et stumt Menneske, som var besat.
Just as they were going out, some people brought up to Jesus a dumb man who was possessed by a demon;
33 Og da den onde Aand var uddreven, talte den stumme. Og Skarerne forundrede sig og sagde: „Aldrig er saadant set i Israel.‟
and, as soon as the demon had been driven out, the dumb man spoke. The people were astonished at this, and exclaimed, ‘Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel!’
34 Men Farisæerne sagde: „Ved de onde Aanders Fyrste uddriver han de onde Aander.‟
But the Pharisees said, ‘He drives out the demons by the help of the chief of the demons.’
35 Og Jesus gik omkring i alle Byerne og Landsbyerne, lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredte enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
Jesus went round all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
36 Men da han saa Skarerne, ynkedes han inderligt over dem; thi de vare vanrøgtede og forkomne som Faar, der ikke have Hyrde.
But, when he saw the crowds, his heart was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and harassed, like sheep without a shepherd;
37 Da siger han til sine Disciple: „Høsten er stor, men Arbejderne ere faa;
and he said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is abundant, but the labourers are few.
38 beder derfor Høstens Herre om, at han vil sende Arbejdere ud til sin Høst.‟
Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.’
