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, on His going into the house of a certain one 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 dropsical man before Him;
3 Og Jesus tog til Orde og sagde til de lovkyndige og Farisæerne: „Er det tilladt at helbrede paa Sabbaten eller ej?‟
and Jesus answering spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?”
4 Men de tav. Og han tog paa ham og helbredte ham og lod ham fare.
And they were silent, and having taken hold of [him], He healed him, and let [him] go;
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 answering them He said, “Of which of you will a donkey or ox fall into a pit, and he will not immediately draw it up on the Sabbath day?”
6 Og de kunde ikke give Svar derpaa.
And they were not able to answer Him again 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 an allegory to those called, marking how they were choosing out the first couches, 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 you may be called by anyone to wedding feasts, you may not recline on the first couch, lest [one] more honorable than you may have been called 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 called you and him having come will say to you, Give to this one [your] place, and then you may begin to occupy the last place with shame.
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 you may be called, having gone on, recline in the last place, that when he who called you may come, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; then you will have glory before those dining with you;
11 Thi enhver, som ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres; og den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes.‟
because everyone who is exalting himself will be humbled, and he who is humbling himself will be exalted.”
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 him who called Him, “When you may make an early meal or a dinner, do not be calling your friends, nor your brothers, nor your relatives, nor rich neighbors, lest they may also call you again, and a repayment may come to you;
13 Men naar du gør et Gæstebud, da indbyd fattige, vanføre, lamme, blinde!
but when you may make a feast, be calling poor, maimed, lame, 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 you will be blessed, because they have nothing to repay you, for it will be repaid to you in 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 one of those dining with Him, having heard these things, said to Him, “Blessed [is] he who will eat bread 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 dinner, and called 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 his servant at the hour of the dinner to say to those having been called, Be coming, because now all things are 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 all began with one [voice] to excuse themselves. The first said to him, I bought a field, and I have need to go forth and see it; I beg of you, 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 on to prove them; I beg of you, 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 am not able to 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 servant having come, told these things to his lord, then the master of the house, having been angry, said to his servant, Go forth quickly into the broad places and lanes of the city, and the poor, and maimed, and lame, and blind, bring in here.
22 Og Tjeneren sagde: Herre! det er sket, som du befalede, og der er endnu Rum.
And the servant said, Lord, it has been done as you commanded, and still 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 servant, Go forth into the ways and hedges, and constrain 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 have been called will taste of my dinner.”
25 Men store Skarer gik med ham, og han vendte sig og sagde til dem:
And there were going on with Him great multitudes, 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 anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brothers, and sisters, and yet even his own life, he is not able to be My disciple;
27 Den, som ikke bærer sit Kors og følger efter mig, kan ikke være min Discipel.
and whoever does not carry his cross, and come after Me, is not able to 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 who of you, willing to build a tower, does not first, having sat down, count the expense, whether he has the things for completing?
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:
Lest that he having laid a foundation, and not being able to finish, all who are beholding may begin to mock 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 on to engage with another king in war, does not, having sat down, first consult if he with ten thousand is able to meet him who is coming 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 so—he being yet a long way off—having sent a delegation, he asks the things for peace.
33 Saaledes kan da ingen af eder, som ikke forsager alt det, han ejer, være min Discipel.
So, then, everyone of you who does not take leave of all that he himself has, is not able to be My disciple.
34 Saltet er altsaa godt; men dersom ogsaa Saltet mister sin Kraft, hvorved skal det da faa den igen?
The salt [is] good, but if the salt becomes tasteless, with 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 neither fit for land nor for manure—they cast it outside. He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
