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.
In the mean time, when myriads of the people had come together, so that they trod one upon another, he began to say to his disciples first of all: Beware of 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.
For there is nothing covered, which shall not be revealed, and hid, which shall not be made 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.
Wherefore, what you have spoken in the darkness, shall be heard in the light; and what you have spoken in the ear in closets, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.
4 Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formaa at gøre mere.
But I say to you, my friends, Fear not them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can 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 you shall fear: Fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, Fear 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 farthings? yet not one of them is forgotten before 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; you are of more value than 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 further say to you, Whoever confesses me before men, him will the Son of man also confess before the angels of God.
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
But he that denies me before men, shall be denied before the angels 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 whoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him; but he that speaks impiously against the Holy Spirit, shall 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.
When they bring you to the synagogues, and to rulers and authorities, be not anxious how or what you shall answer, or what you shall say;
12 Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in that hour what you 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 one of the multitude said to him: Teacher, speak to my brother, that he 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 made me a judge or a divider 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: Take heed and beware of covetousness; for a man’s life depends not on the abundance of his possessions.
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 farm of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully.
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 reasoned within himself, saying: What shall I do? for I have no place in which I can store my fruits.
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: This will I do: I will pull down my barns and I will build larger ones; and there I will store ail my produce, and my good things;
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, you have many good things laid up for many years; take your 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: Senseless man, this night shall your soul be required of you; and who shall have the things which you have provided?
21 Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
So is he that lays up treasure for him self, and is not 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: For this reason I say to you, Be not anxious for your life, what you shall eat; nor for your body, what you shall put on.
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
Life is a greater gift than food, and the body, than 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, that they neither sow nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; yet God feeds them: you are of far more value than the birds.
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
Which of you, by his anxiety, can add one span to his life?
26 Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
If, therefore, you can not do that which is the least, why are you 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, they spin not; yet I say to you, that Solomon in all his glory was not clothed 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!
If, then, God so clothes the herb of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
And seek not what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, and be not in anxious suspense.
30 Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
For all these things the nations of the world seek after; but your Father knows that you have need of these things.
31 Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be given you in addition.
32 Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure 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 what you have, and be charitable. Make for yourselves purses that do not become old, an unfailing treasure in the heavens, where no thief comes near, and no moth corrupts.
34 Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil ogsaa eders Hjerte være.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
Let your loins be girded, and your lamps 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 like men that are waiting for their lord, when he shall return from the wedding; that, when he comes and knocks, they may open for him immediately.
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 servants whom their lord, when he comes, shall find watching. Verily I say to you, That he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and will come forth and 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 shall come in the second watch, and if he shall come in the third watch, and find them thus, blessed are those servants.
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 master of the house had known at what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken through.
40 Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
Be you, therefore, ready also; for at an hour when you think not, the Son of man comes.
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
Then Peter said to him: Lord, dost them 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 that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his servants, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
Blessed is that servant whom his lord, when he comes, shall find so doing.
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
Of a truth, I say to you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
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 servant shall say in his heart, My lord delays his coming, and shall begin to strike the men-servants and the maid-servants, and to eat and to drink, and to be drunk;
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 servant will come in a day in which he looks not for him, and at an hour which he knows not; and will cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the unfaithful.
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 servant who knew his lord’s will, but made no preparation, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes;
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 that knew not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. To whomever much has been given, of him shall much be required; and to whom men have intrusted much, of him will they ask the more.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
I have come to send fire on the earth; and how greatly do I wish that it were already kindled!
50 Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
I have an immersion with which to be immersed, and how distressed I am till it be accomplished!
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
Do you think that I have come to give peace in the earth? I toll you, No; but rather dissension.
52 Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
For from this time forth there shall be five in one house at variance, three with two, and two with 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.‟
The father shall be at variance with the son, and the son with the father; the mother with the daughter, and the daughter with the mother; the mother-in-law with her daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law with 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 said also to the multitudes: When you see the cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, There comes a shower: and so it is.
55 Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
And when the south wind blows, you say, There will be heat: and it comes to pass.
56 I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
Hypocrites, you know how to judge of the face of the earth, and of the heavens; but how is it that you do not judge of this time?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
And why even of yourselves do you not judge 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 you are going with your opponent at law to the ruler, while you are on the way, endeavor to be delivered from him, lest he drag you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the collector, and the collector throw you into prison.
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
I say to you, You shall not come out thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
