Lukas 14
1 Og det skete, da han kom ind i en af de øverste Farisæeres Hus paa en Sabbat for at holde Maaltid, at de toge Vare paa ham.
And it came to pass, when he went into the house of a certain man of the chiefs of the Pharisees on a sabbath to eat bread, that they were watching him.
2 Og se, der stod en vattersottig Mand foran ham.
And behold, there was a certain man in front of him afflicted with edema.
3 Og Jesus tog til Orde og sagde til de lovkyndige og Farisæerne: „Er det tilladt at helbrede paa Sabbaten eller ej?‟
And having responded, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it permitted to heal on the sabbath?
4 Men de tav. Og han tog paa ham og helbredte ham og lod ham fare.
But they were silent. And having taken him, he healed him and released him.
5 Og han tog til Orde og sagde til dem: „Hvem er der iblandt eder, som ikke straks, naar hans Søn eller Okse falder i en Brønd, drager dem op paa Sabbatsdagen?‟
And having responded, he said to them, Of which of you will a son or an ox fall into a pit, and he will not straightaway lift him out on the day of the sabbath?
6 Og de kunde ikke give Svar derpaa.
And they could not answer him back to these things.
7 Men han sagde en Lignelse til de budne, da han gav Agt paa, hvorledes de udvalgte sig de øverste Pladser ved Bordet, og sagde til dem:
And he spoke a parable to those who were invited when he noticed how they chose out the chief places, saying to them,
8 „Naar du bliver buden af nogen til Bryllup, da sæt dig ikke øverst til Bords, for at ikke en fornemmere end du maatte være buden af ham,
When thou are invited by any man to wedding festivities, do not sit down in the chief place, lest there may be a more honorable man than thou who was invited by him.
9 og han, som indbød dig og ham, maatte komme og sige til dig: Giv denne Plads, og du da med Skam komme til at sidde nederst.
And he who invited thee and him, having come, will say to thee, Give place to this man, and then thou will begin with embarrassment to take the last place.
10 Men naar du bliver buden, da gaa hen og sæt dig nederst, for at, naar han kommer, som har indbudt dig, han da maa sige til dig: Ven! sæt dig højere op; da skal du have Ære for alle dem, som sidde til Bords med dig.
But when thou are invited, having gone, sit down in the last place, so that when he who has invited thee comes, he will say to thee, Friend, go up higher, then it will be esteem to thee in the presence of those dining with thee.
11 Thi enhver, som ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres; og den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes.‟
Because every man who lifts himself up will be made lower, and he who makes himself lower will be lifted up.
12 Men han sagde ogsaa til ham, som havde indbudt ham: „Naar du gør Middags- eller Aftensmaaltid, da byd ikke dine Venner, ej heller dine Brødre, ej heller dine Frænder, ej heller rige Naboer, for at ikke ogsaa de skulle indbyde dig igen, og du faa Vederlag.
And he also said to the man who invited him, When thou make a dinner or a supper, do not call thy friends, nor thy brothers, nor thy kinsmen, nor prosperous neighbors, lest they also invite thee in return, and a recompense be made to thee.
13 Men naar du gør et Gæstebud, da indbyd fattige, vanføre, lamme, blinde!
But when thou make a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind,
14 Saa skal du være salig; thi de have intet at gengælde dig med; men det skal gengældes dig i de retfærdiges Opstandelse.‟
and thou will be blessed, because they do not have to recompense thee, for it will be recompensed to thee at the resurrection of the righteous.
15 Men da en af dem, som sade med til Bords, hørte dette, sagde han til ham: „Salig er den, som holder Maaltid i Guds Rige.‟
And a certain man of those dining together having heard these things, he said to him, Blessed is he who will eat dinner in the kingdom of God.
16 Men han sagde til ham: „Der var en Mand, som gjorde en stor Nadvere og indbød mange.
And he said to him, A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many.
17 Og han udsendte sin Tjener paa Nadverens Time for at sige til de budne: Kommer! thi nu er det beredt.
And he sent forth his bondman at the hour of the meal to say to those who were invited, Come, because all things are now ready.
18 Og de begyndte alle som een at undskylde sig. Den første sagde til ham: Jeg har købt en Mark og har nødig at gaa ud og se den; jeg beder dig, hav mig undskyldt!
And they all from one began to make excuse. The first said to him, I have bought a field, and I have need to go out and see it. I ask thee have me excused.
19 Og en anden sagde: Jeg har købt fem Par Okser og gaar hen at prøve dem; jeg beder dig, hav mig undskyldt!
And another said, I bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to test them. I ask thee have me excused.
20 Og en anden sagde: Jeg har taget mig en Hustru til Ægte, og derfor kan jeg ikke komme.
And another said, I married a wife, and because of this I cannot come.
21 Og Tjeneren kom og meldte sin Herre dette; da blev Husbonden vred og sagde til sin Tjener: Gaa hurtig ud paa Byens Stræder og Gader, og før de fattige og vanføre og lamme og blinde herind!
And that bondman, having come, he informed his lord these things. Then the house-ruler having become angry, he said to his bondman, Go out quickly into the thoroughfares and lanes of the city, and bring here the poor and maimed and crippled and blind.
22 Og Tjeneren sagde: Herre! det er sket, som du befalede, og der er endnu Rum.
And the bondman said, Lord, as thou commanded it has happened, and yet there is room.
23 Og Herren sagde til Tjeneren: Gaa ud paa Vejene og ved Gærderne og nød dem til at gaa ind, for at mit Hus kan blive fuldt.
And the lord said to the bondman, Go out into the roads and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.
24 Thi jeg siger eder, at ingen af hine Mænd, som vare budne, skal smage min Nadvere.‟
For I say to you, that none of those men who were invited will taste of my supper. For many are called, but few chosen.
25 Men store Skarer gik med ham, og han vendte sig og sagde til dem:
Now many multitudes went with him, and having turned, he said to them,
26 „Dersom nogen kommer til mig og ikke hader sin Fader og Moder og Hustru og Børn og Brødre og Søstre, ja endog sit eget Liv, kan han ikke være min Discipel.
If any man comes to me, and does not regard as inferior his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and besides his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 Den, som ikke bærer sit Kors og følger efter mig, kan ikke være min Discipel.
And whoever does not bear his cross, and come behind me, cannot be my disciple.
28 Thi hvem iblandt eder, som vil bygge et Taarn, sætter sig ikke først hen og beregner Omkostningen, om han har nok til at fuldføre det,
For which of you wanting to build a tower, does not, having first sat down, count the cost whether he has the things for completion?
29 for at ikke, naar han faar lagt Grunden og ej kan fuldende det, alle, som se det, skulle begynde at spotte ham og sige:
So that perhaps, having laid its foundation, and not being able to finish, all those who see begin to ridicule him,
30 Dette Menneske begyndte at bygge og kunde ikke fuldende det.
saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
31 Eller hvilken Konge, som drager ud for at gaa i Kamp imod en anden Konge, sætter sig ikke først hen og raadslaar, om han er mægtig til med ti Tusinde at møde den, som kommer imod ham med tyve Tusinde?
Or what king going to encounter another king in war, will not, having first sat down, consult whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
32 Men hvis ikke, sender han, medens den anden endnu er langt borte, Sendebud hen og underhandler om Fred.
And if not, while he is still far off, having sent a delegation, he asks the things about peace.
33 Saaledes kan da ingen af eder, som ikke forsager alt det, han ejer, være min Discipel.
So therefore every man of you who does not renounce all things being possessed by him, cannot be my disciple.
34 Saltet er altsaa godt; men dersom ogsaa Saltet mister sin Kraft, hvorved skal det da faa den igen?
The salt material is good, but if the salt material becomes tasteless, by what will it be seasoned?
35 Det er ikke tjenligt hverken til Jord eller til Gødning; man kaster det ud. Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
It is fit neither for the land nor for manure; they cast it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
