Lukas 12
1 Da imidlertid mange Tusinde Mennesker havde samlet sig, saa at de traadte paa hverandre, begyndte han at sige til sine Disciple: „Tager eder først og fremmest i Vare for Farisæernes Surdejg, som er Hykleri.
During which time the myriads of the multitude having gathered together so as to trample each other, he began first to say to his disciples, Take heed to yourselves from the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
2 Men intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
3 Derfor, alt hvad I have sagt i Mørket, skal høres i Lyset; og hvad I have talt i Øret i Kamrene, skal blive prædiket paa Tagene.
Therefore, as many things as ye have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in the inner chambers will be proclaimed upon the housetops.
4 Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formaa at gøre mere.
And I say to you my friends, Be not afraid of those who kill the body, and after these things not having anything more severe to do.
5 Men jeg vil vise eder, for hvem I skulle frygte: Frygter for ham, som har Magt til, efter at have slaaet ihjel, at kaste i Helvede; ja, jeg siger eder: Frygter for ham! (Geenna g1067)
But I will show you whom ye should fear. Fear him, who, after killing, has power to cast into hell. Yes, I say to you, fear ye him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Sælges ikke fem Spurve for to Penninge? og ikke een af dem er glemt hos Gud.
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Ja, endog Haarene paa eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore, ye are superior to many sparrows.
8 Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
And I say to you, every man who will confess in me before men, the Son of man will also confess in him before the agents of God,
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
but he who denies me in the presence of men will be denied in the presence of the agents of God.
10 Og enhver, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som har talt bespotteligt imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades.
And every man who will speak a word against the Son of man, it will be forgiven him, but to him who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit it will not be forgiven.
11 Men naar de føre eder frem for Synagogerne og Øvrighederne og Myndighederne, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvormed I skulle forsvare eder, eller hvad I skulle sige.
And when they bring you to the synagogues, and the principle positions, and the offices of authority, be not anxious how or what ye should answer in defense, or what ye should say,
12 Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
13 Men en af Skaren sagde til ham: „Mester! sig til min Broder, at han skal dele Arven med mig.‟
And a certain man out of the crowd said to him, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
14 Men han sagde til ham: „Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?‟
But he said to him, Man, who appointed me a judge or an arbitrator over you?
15 Og han sagde til dem: „Ser til og vogter eder for al Havesyge; thi ingens Liv beror paa, hvad han ejer, selv om han har Overflod.‟
And he said to them, Watch, and keep away from greed, because to any man, life to him is not in the abundance of things possessed by him.
16 Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: „Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde baaret godt.
And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth well.
17 Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
And he pondered within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have nowhere I will store my crops?
18 Og han sagde: Dette vil jeg gøre, jeg vil nedbryde mine Lader og bygge dem større, og jeg vil samle deri al min Afgrøde og mit Gods;
And he said, I will do this. I will dismantle my barns, and I will build greater, and there I will store all my grain and my goods.
19 og jeg vil sige til min Sjæl: Sjæl! du har mange gode Ting liggende for mange Aar; slaa dig til Ro, spis, drik, vær lystig!
And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou have many goods laid up for many years. Take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Men Gud sagde til ham: Du Daare! i denne Nat kræves din Sjæl af dig; men hvem skal det høre til, som du har beredt?
But God said to him, Thou foolish man, they demand thy soul from thee this night, and the things that thou prepared, whose will they be?
21 Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
So is he who stores up for himself, and is not being rich toward God.
22 Men han sagde til sine Disciple: „Derfor siger jeg eder: Bekymrer eder ikke for Livet, hvad I skulle spise; ikke heller for Legemet, hvad I skulle iføre eder.
And he said to his disciples, Because of this I say to you, be not anxious for your life, what ye may eat, nor for the body, what ye may wear.
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
For the life is more than the food, and the body, the clothing.
24 Giver Agt paa Ravnene, at de hverken saa eller høste, og de have ikke Forraadskammer eller Lade, og Gud føder dem; hvor langt mere værd end Fuglene ere dog I?
Consider the ravens, because they do not sow, nor do they reap, for which there is no storehouse nor barn, and God feeds them. How much ye are worth more than the birds.
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his age?
26 Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
If then ye are not able to do even the least, why are ye anxious about the rest?
27 Giver Agt paa Lillierne, hvorledes de vokse; de arbejde ikke og spinde ikke; men jeg siger eder: End ikke Salomon i al sin Herlighed var klædt som en af dem.
Consider the lilies, how they grow. They toil not, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was arrayed like one of these.
28 Klæder da Gud saaledes det Græs paa Marken, som i Dag staar og i Morgen kastes i Ovnen, hvor meget mere eder, I lidettroende!
And if God so clothes the grass in the field, which today is, and tomorrow being cast into the oven, how much more you, O ye of little faith?
29 Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
And do not seek what ye may eat, and what ye may drink, and do not be unsettled.
30 Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
For the nations of the world seek all these things, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things.
31 Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
However, seek ye the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
Fear not, little flock, because your Father is well pleased to give you the kingdom.
33 Sælger, hvad I eje, og giver Almisse! Gører eder Punge, som ikke ældes, en Skat i Himlene, som ikke slipper op, der hvor ingen Tyv kommer nær, og intet Møl ødelægger.
Sell things possessed by you, and give charity. Make for yourselves purses not becoming old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where no thief approaches, nor moth corrupts.
34 Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil ogsaa eders Hjerte være.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
Let your loins be girded about, and the lights burning,
36 Og værer I ligesom Mennesker, der vente paa deres Herre, naar han vil bryde op fra Brylluppet, for at de straks, naar han kommer og banker paa, kunne lukke op for ham.
and be ye like men waiting for their lord, when he may return from the wedding festivities, so that when he comes and knocks, they may straightaway open to him.
37 Salige ere de Tjenere, som Herren finder vaagne, naar han kommer. Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at han skal binde op om sig og sætte dem til Bords og gaa om og varte dem op.
Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord when he comes will find watching. Truly I say to you, that he will gird himself, and will cause them to sit down, and having come, will serve them.
38 Og dersom han kommer i den anden Nattevagt og kommer i den tredje Nattevagt og finder det saaledes, da ere disse Tjenere salige.
And if he should come in the second watch, and should come in the third watch, and find so, blessed are those bondmen.
39 Men dette skulle I vide, at dersom Husbonden vidste, i hvilken Time Tyven vilde komme, da vaagede han og tillod ikke, at der skete Indbrud i hans Hus.
But know this, that if the house-ruler had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have allowed his house to be broken into.
40 Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
Therefore, ye also become ready, because the Son of man comes at that hour ye do not suppose.
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
And Peter said to him, Lord, did thou speak this parable to us, or also to all?
42 Og Herren sagde: „Hvem er vel den tro og forstandige Husholder, som Herren vil sætte over sit Tyende til at give dem den bestemte Kost i rette Tid?
And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and wise manager whom his lord will appoint over his service to give the provision on time?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
Blessed is that bondman whom his lord when he comes will find so doing.
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
Truly I say to you, that he will appoint him over the things being possessed by him.
45 Men dersom hin Tjener siger i sit Hjerte: „Min Herre tøver med at komme‟ og saa begynder at slaa Karlene og Pigerne og at spise og drikke og beruse sig,
But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord is late to come, and should begin to beat the servant boys and the servant girls, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
46 da skal den Tjeners Herre komme paa den Dag, han ikke venter, og i den Time, han ikke ved, og hugge ham sønder og give ham hans Lod sammen med de utro.
the lord of that bondman will arrive in a day that he does not expect, and in an hour that he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will place his portion with the unbelieving.
47 Men den Tjener, som har kendt sin Herres Villie og ikke har truffet Forberedelser eller handlet efter hans Villie, skal have mange Hug;
And that bondman who knew his lord's will, and who did not prepare, nor do according to his will, will be beaten much,
48 men den, som ikke har kendt den og har gjort, hvad der er Hug værd, skal have faa Hug. Enhver, hvem meget er givet, af ham skal man kræve meget; og hvem meget er betroet, af ham skal man forlange mere.
but he who did not know, and did things worthy of blows, will be beaten little. And to every man to whom much was given, much will be required from him. And to whom they entrust much, they will ask him more abundantly.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
I came to cast fire upon the earth, and what I desire is if it were kindled already.
50 Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
But I have an immersion to be immersed, and how am I constrained until it will be accomplished.
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
Do ye suppose that I came to give peace on the earth? I tell you, no, but rather division.
52 Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
For henceforth there will be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 De skulle være i Splid, Fader med Søn og Søn med Fader, Moder med Datter og Datter med Moder, Svigermoder med sin Svigerdatter og Svigerdatter med sin Svigermoder.‟
A father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
54 Men han sagde ogsaa til Skarerne: „Naar I se en Sky komme op i Vester, sige I straks: Der kommer Regn, og det sker saaledes.
And he also said to the multitudes, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, straightaway ye say, A shower is coming, and so it happens.
55 Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
And when a south wind is blowing, ye say, There will be heat, and it happens.
56 I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to examine the face of the earth and the sky, but how can ye not examine this season?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
And also why do ye not judge yourselves what is right?
58 Thi medens du gaar hen med din Modpart til Øvrigheden, da gør dig Flid paa Vejen for at blive forligt med ham, for at han ikke skal trække dig for Dommeren, og Dommeren skal overgive dig til Slutteren, og Slutteren skal kaste dig i Fængsel.
For when thou go with thine opponent to the magistrate on the way give effort to be delivered from him, lest he may drag thee to the judge, and the judge may deliver thee to the officer, and the officer would cast thee into prison.
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid even the last mite.
