Lukas 10
1 Men derefter udvalgte Herren ogsaa halvfjerdsindstyve andre og sendte dem ud to og to forud for sig, til hver By og hvert Sted, hvorhen han selv vilde komme.
After this, the Master appointed seventy-two other disciples, and sent them on as his messengers, two and two, in advance, to every town and place that he was himself intending to visit.
2 Og han sagde til dem: „Høsten er stor, men Arbejderne ere faa; beder derfor Høstens Herre om, at han vil sende Arbejdere ud til sin Høst.
‘The harvest,’ he said, ‘is abundant, but the labourers are few. Therefore pray to the owner of the harvest to send labourers to gather in his harvest.
3 Gaar ud! Se, jeg sender eder som Lam midt iblandt Ulve.
Now, go. Remember, I am sending you out as my messengers like lambs among wolves.
4 Bærer ikke Pung, ikke Taske, ej heller Sko; og hilser ingen paa Vejen!
Do not take a purse with you, or a bag, or sandals; and do not stop to greet anyone on your journey.
5 Men hvor I komme ind i et Hus, siger der først: Fred være med dette Hus!
Whatever house you go to stay at, begin by praying for a blessing on it.
6 Og er der sammesteds et Fredens Barn, skal eders Fred hvile paa ham; men hvis ikke, da skal den vende tilbage til eder igen.
Then, if anyone there is deserving of a blessing, your blessing will rest on him; but if not, it will come back on yourselves.
7 Men bliver i det samme Hus, spiser og drikker, hvad de have; thi Arbejderen er sin Løn værd. I maa ikke flytte fra Hus til Hus.
Remain at that same house, and eat and drink whatever they offer you; for the worker is worth their wages. Do not keep changing from one house to another.
8 Og hvor I komme ind i en By, og de modtage eder, spiser der, hvad der sættes for eder;
Whatever town you visit, if the people welcome you, eat what is set before you;
9 og helbreder de syge, som ere der, og siger dem: Guds Rige er kommet nær til eder.
cure the sick there, and tell people that the kingdom of God is close at hand.
10 Men hvor I komme ind i en By, og de ikke modtage eder, der skulle I gaa ud paa dens Gader og sige:
But, whatever town you go to visit, if the people do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say
11 Endog det Støv, som hænger ved vore Fødder fra eders By, tørre vi af til eder; dog dette skulle I vide, at Guds Rige er kommet nær.
“We wipe off the dust of your town which has clung to Our feet; still, be assured that the kingdom of God is close at Hand.”
12 Men jeg siger eder, det skal gaa Sodoma taaleligere paa hin Dag end den By.
I tell you that the doom of Sodom will be more bearable on that day than the doom of that town.
13 Ve dig, Korazin! ve dig, Bethsajda! thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i eder, vare skete i Tyrus og Sidon, da havde de for længe siden omvendt sig, siddende i Sæk og Aske.
Alas for you, Chorazin! Alas for you, Bethsaida! For, if the miracles which have been done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have sat in sackcloth and ashes and repented long ago.
14 Men det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere ved Dommen end eder.
Yet the doom of Tyre and Sidon will be more bearable at the judgment than yours.
15 Og du, Kapernaum, som er bleven ophøjet indtil Himmelen, du skal nedstødes indtil Dødsriget. (Hadēs g86)
And you, Capernaum! Will you exalt yourself to heaven? You will be flung down to Hades. (Hadēs g86)
16 Den, som hører eder, hører mig, og den, som foragter eder, foragter mig; men den, som foragter mig, foragter den, som udsendte mig.‟
Anyone who listens to you is listening to me, and anyone who rejects you is rejecting me; while the person who rejects me is rejecting him who sent me as his messenger.’
17 Men de halvfjerdsindstyve vendte tilbage med Glæde og sagde: „Herre! ogsaa de onde Aander ere os lydige i dit Navn.‟
When the seventy-two returned, they exclaimed joyfully, ‘Master, even the demons submit to us when we use your name.’
18 Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg saa Satan falde ned fra Himmelen som et Lyn.
And Jesus replied, ‘I have had visions of Satan, fallen, like lightning from the heavens.
19 Se, jeg har givet eder Myndighed til at træde paa Slanger og Skorpioner og over hele Fjendens Magt, og slet intet skal skade eder.
Remember, I have given you the power to trample on snakes and scorpions, and to meet all the strength of the Enemy. Nothing will ever harm you in any way.
20 Dog, glæder eder ikke derover, at Aanderne ere eder lydige; men glæder eder over, at eders Navne ere indskrevne i Himlene.‟
Yet do not rejoice in the fact that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names have been enrolled in heaven.’
21 I den samme Stund frydede Jesus sig i den Helligaand og sagde: „Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og aabenbaret det for umyndige. Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
At that same time, moved to exultation by the Holy Spirit, Jesus said: ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, you have revealed them to the childlike! Yes, Father, I thank you that this has seemed good to you.
22 Alle Ting ere mig overgivne af min Fader; og ingen kender, hvem Sønnen er, uden Faderen, og hvem Faderen er, uden Sønnen og den, for hvem Sønnen vil aabenbare ham.‟
Everything has been committed to me by my Father; nor does anyone know who the Son is, except the Father, or who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son may choose to reveal him.’
23 Og han vendte sig til Disciplene og sagde særligt til dem: „Salige ere de Øjne, som se det, I se.
Then, turning to his disciples, Jesus said to them alone, ‘Blessed are the eyes that see what you are seeing;
24 Thi jeg siger eder, at mange Profeter og Konger have villet se det, I se, og have ikke set det, og høre det, I høre, og have ikke hørt det.‟
for, I tell you, many prophets and kings wished for the sight of the things which you are seeing, yet never heard them.’
25 Og se, en lovkyndig stod op og fristede ham og sagde: „Mester! hvad skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan arve et evigt Liv?‟ (aiōnios g166)
Just then a student of the Law came forward to test Jesus further. ‘Teacher,’ he said, ‘what must I do if I am to gain eternal life?’ (aiōnios g166)
26 Men han sagde til ham: „Hvad er der skrevet i Loven, hvorledes læser du?‟
‘What is said in the Law?’ answered Jesus. ‘What do you read there?’
27 Men han svarede og sagde til ham: „Du skal elske Herren din Gud af hele dit Hjerte og med hele din Sjæl og med hele din Styrke og med hele dit Sind, og din Næste som dig selv.‟
His reply was – ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as you love yourself.’
28 Men han sagde til ham: „Du svarede ret; gør dette, saa skal du leve.‟
‘You have answered right,’ said Jesus, ‘Do that, and you will live.’
29 Men han vilde gøre sig selv retfærdig og sagde til Jesus: „Hvem er da min Næste?‟
But the man, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ‘And who is my neighbour?’
30 Men Jesus svarede og sagde: „Et Menneske gik ned fra Jerusalem til Jeriko, og han faldt iblandt Røvere, som baade klædte ham af og sloge ham og gik bort og lode ham ligge halvdød.
To which Jesus replied, ‘A man was once going down from Jerusalem to Jericho when he fell into the hands of robbers, who stripped him of everything, and beat him, and went away leaving him half dead.
31 Men ved en Hændelse gik en Præst den samme Vej ned, og da han saa ham, gik han forbi.
As it chanced, a priest was going down by that road. He saw the man, but passed by on the opposite side.
32 Ligesaa ogsaa en Levit; da han kom til Stedet, gik han hen og saa ham og gik forbi.
A Levite, too, did the same; he came up to the spot, but, when he saw the man, passed by on the opposite side.
33 Men en Samaritan, som var paa Rejse, kom til ham, og da han saa ham, ynkedes han inderligt.
But a Samaritan, traveling that way, came upon the man, and, when he saw him, he was moved with compassion.
34 Og han gik hen til ham, forbandt hans Saar og gød Olie og Vin deri, løftede ham op paa sit eget Dyr og førte ham til et Herberge og plejede ham.
He went to him and bound up his wounds, dressing them with oil and wine, and then put him on his own mule, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 Og den næste Dag tog han to Denarer frem og gav Værten dem og sagde: Plej ham! og hvad mere du lægger ud, vil jeg betale dig, naar jeg kommer igen.
The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. “Take care of him,” he said, “and whatever more you may spend I will myself repay you on my way back.”
36 Hvilken af disse tre tykkes dig nu at have været hans Næste, der var falden iblandt Røverne?‟
Now which, do you think, of these three men,’ asked Jesus, ‘proved himself a neighbour to the man who fell into the robbers’ hands?’
37 Men han sagde: „Han, som øvede Barmhjertighed imod ham.‟ Og Jesus sagde til ham: „Gaa bort, og gør du ligesaa!‟
‘The one that took pity on him,’ was the answer; at which Jesus said, ‘Go and do the same yourself.’
38 Men det skete, medens de vare paa Vandring, gik han ind i en Landsby; og en Kvinde ved Navn Martha modtog ham i sit Hus.
As they continued their journey, Jesus came to a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him to her house.
39 Og hun havde en Søster, som hed Maria, og hun satte sig ved Herrens Fødder og hørte paa hans Tale.
She had a sister called Mary, who seated herself at the Master’s feet, and listened to his teaching;
40 Men Martha havde travlt med megen Opvartning; og hun kom hen og sagde: „Herre! bryder du dig ikke om, at min Søster har ladet mig opvarte ene? Sig hende dog, at hun skal hjælpe mig.‟
but Martha was distracted by the many preparations that she was making. So she went up to Jesus and said, ‘Master, do you approve of my sister’s leaving me to make preparations alone? Tell her to help me.’
41 Men Herren svarede og sagde til hende: „Martha! Martha! du gør dig Bekymring og Uro med mange Ting;
‘Martha, Martha,’ replied the Master, ‘you are anxious and trouble yourself about many things;
42 men eet er fornødent. Maria har valgt den gode Del, som ikke skal tages fra hende.‟
but only a few are necessary, or rather one. Mary has chosen the good part, and it will not be taken away from her.’
