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 great multitudes of people being gathered together about Him, so that they trode upon one another, He began to say to his disciples, Beware of the leaven of the pharisees, which is hypocrisy: for there is nothing concealed,
2 Men intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
which shall not be discovered; nor hidden which shall 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 whatsoever ye have said in darkness shall be heard in the light: and what ye have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed on 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.
Now I say unto you, my friends, Be not afraid of them, that can only kill the body, and after that have nothing 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 shew you whom ye should fear, ---Fear Him, who after He hath killed, hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto 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 assaries, and 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.
Nay the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Be not therefore afraid; ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
8 Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
But I say unto you, Whosoever shall own me before men, the Son of man will also own him before the angels of God.
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
But he, that disowneth me before men, shall be disowned 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 whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him; but unto him, that blasphemeth the holy Spirit, it 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.
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and magistrates, and powers, be not solicitous how or what defence to make, or what to say:
12 Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
for the holy Spirit shall teach you at that very time 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 one among the multitude said to Him, Master, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me: but He said unto him,
14 Men han sagde til ham: „Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?‟
Man, who set me over you as a judge or divider?
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 unto them, See to it that ye beware of covetousness; for a man's life consisteth not in 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 spake a parable to them, saying, The ground 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 not room to lay up my corn.
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 I will do: I will pull down my barns, and build larger ones; and there I will bestow all my products 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 hast plenty of goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink, and 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 unto him, Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
21 Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
So is he that heapeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich towards 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, Therefore I say unto you, be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor for the body, what ye shall put on:
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
the life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
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: they neither sow nor reap; they have neither store-house nor barn, and yet God feedeth them: how much more worth are ye than the fowls?
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
And which of you by all his thought can add one moment to his life?
26 Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
If then ye cannot do even the lest, why are ye so 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, neither do they spin: and yet I tell you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not 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!
Now if God so clothe the grass which is to day in the field, and to-morrow is cast into the furnace, how much more will He clothe 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 seek ye not what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; neither be ye in careful 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 knoweth that ye have need of these things.
31 Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
Seek ye therefore the kingdom of God, and all these shall be super-added unto you.
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 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 ye have, and give alms: provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a never-failing treasure in the heavens, where no thief approacheth nor moth corrupteth:
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 girt, and your lights burning, and
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.
ye yourselves like men waiting for their lord's return from a wedding, that they may immediately open the door to him, when he comes and knocks.
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.
Happy are those servants, whom the master when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself, and make them sit down, and will come 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 come in the second watch, or in the third watch, and find them so, happy indeed 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.
And this ye know, that if the master of a house had known at what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broke open:
40 Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
therefore be ye also ready; for the Son of man cometh at a season that ye think not of.
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
Then said Peter unto Him, Lord, dost thou speak this parable to us only, or to all others likewise?
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 is indeed that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his family to give out the measure of food in due season?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
Happy is that servant, whom his lord, when he cometh, shall find so doing.
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
Verily I tell you, that he will set him over all that he hath.
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 say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and begin to beat the men and maid-servants, 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 servant will come on a day in which he does not expect him, and at a time which he is not aware of; 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 master's will, and did not prepare himself to do 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 it not, and did things deserving stripes, shall be beaten with few: for to whomsoever much is given, of him will much be required; and to whom men have committed much, of him they will demand the more.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
I am come to send fire on the earth, and how do I desire that it were already kindled?
50 Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
for I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how I am straitened till it be accomplished?
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
Do ye think that I am come to give peace on the earth? I tell you, nay; 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 from this time there shall be five in one family 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.‟
the father will be against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and the 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.
He said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rising from the west, ye presently say, there is a shower coming, and so it proves:
55 Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
and when ye observe the south-wind blowing, ye say there will be heat, and it cometh 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?
Ye hypocrites, ye know how to discern the face of the earth and of the heavens, and why do ye not discern the present time?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
and why do ye not even of yourselves 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.
When thou art going with thine adversary to the magistrate, endeavour while thou art in the way to be discharged, least he force thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and the officer carry thee to prison.
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
I tell thee, thou shalt not come out from thence, till thou hast paid the very last mite.
