Lukas 20
1 Og det skete paa en af de Dage, medens han lærte Folket i Helligdommen og forkyndte Evangeliet, da traadte Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge tillige med de Ældste hen til ham.
One day [during that week, Jesus] was teaching the people in the Temple [courtyard] and telling them [God’s] good message. As he was doing that, the chief priests, the men who taught the [Jewish] laws, and [other Jewish] elders came to him.
2 Og de talte til ham og sagde: „Sig os, af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, eller hvem er det, som har givet dig denne Magt?‟
They asked him, “Tell us, by what authority are you doing these things? Who authorized you to do things [like you did here yesterday]?”
3 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Ogsaa jeg vil spørge eder om en Ting, siger mig det:
He replied, “I will also ask you a question. Tell me,
4 Johannes's Daab, var den fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?‟
where did John [the Baptizer] get [his authority to] baptize [those who came to him]? [Did he get it] from God [MTY/EUP] or from people?”
5 Men de overvejede med hverandre og sagde: „Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige: Hvorfor troede I ham ikke?
They discussed this among themselves. They said, “[If we(inc) say], ‘[It was] from God [MTY/EUP],’ he will say to us, ‘[Then] (you should have believed John’s [message]!/why did you not believe what John preached?) [RHQ]’
6 Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, da vil hele Folket stene os; thi det er overbevist om, at Johannes var en Profet.‟
But if we say, ‘It was [from] people,’ the people [here] will [kill us by] throwing stones at us, because they [all] believe that John was a prophet [from God].”
7 Og de svarede, at de vidste ikke, hvorfra.
So they replied, “We [(exc)] do not know where [John got his authority].”
8 Og Jesus sagde til dem: „Saa siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.‟
Then Jesus said to them, “[Because you did not answer my question], I will not tell you who authorized me to do those things [here yesterday].”
9 Men han begyndte at sige denne Lignelse til Folket: „En Mand plantede en Vingaard og lejede den ud til Vingaardsmænd og drog udenlands for lange Tider.
Then Jesus told the people this parable [to illustrate what God would do to the Jews who rejected the former prophets and himself]: “A [certain] man planted a vineyard. He rented the vineyard to some men [to care for it and to give him some of the grapes in return]. Then he went to another country and stayed there several years.
10 Og da Tiden kom, sendte han en Tjener til Vingaardsmændene, for at de skulde give ham af Vingaardens Frugt; men Vingaardsmændene sloge ham og sendte ham tomhændet bort.
When [the vines started producing] grapes, he sent a servant to the men who were taking care of the vineyard. He expected that they would give him some of the grapes that the vineyard had produced. But [after the servant arrived], they beat him and they did not give him any grapes. They [just] sent him away.
11 Og han sendte fremdeles en anden Tjener; men de sloge ogsaa ham og forhaanede ham og sendte ham tomhændet bort.
[Later], [the owner] sent another servant. But they beat him and mistreated him [also]. They sent him away without giving him any grapes.
12 Og han sendte fremdeles en tredje; men ogsaa ham saarede de og kastede ham ud.
[Still later, the owner] sent another servant. That one they wounded and threw him out [of the vineyard].
13 Men Vingaardens Herre sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? Jeg vil sende min Søn, den elskede; de ville dog vel undse sig for ham.
So the owner of the vineyard thought to himself, ‘(I do not know what to do!/What shall I do?) [RHQ]’ [Then he had an idea. He thought to himself], ‘I will send my son, [whom I] love [very much]. Perhaps they will respect him [and give him my share of the grapes].’
14 Men da Vingaardsmændene saa ham, raadsloge de indbyrdes og sagde: Det er Arvingen; lader os slaa ham ihjel, for at Arven kan blive vor.
[So he sent his son], but when the men who were caring for the vineyard saw him [coming], they said to each other, ‘Here [comes] the man who will [some day] inherit [the vineyard]. Let’s kill him so that this vineyard will be ours!’
15 Og de kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel. Hvad vil nu Vingaardens Herre gøre ved dem?
So they dragged him outside the vineyard and they killed him. So (I will tell you what the owner of the vineyard will do to them!/do you know what the owner of the vineyard will do to them?) [RHQ]
16 Han vil komme og ødelægge disse Vingaardsmænd og give Vingaarden til andre.‟ Men da de hørte det, sagde de: „Det ske aldrig!‟
He will come and kill those men who were taking care of the vineyard. Then he will arrange for other people to take care of it.” When the people listening to Jesus heard that, they said, “[We would] not do anything like those wicked men did!”
17 Men han saa paa dem og sagde: „Hvad er da dette, som er skrevet: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten?
But Jesus looked directly at them and said, “You can say that, [but think about] the meaning of these words that are written {which [a prophet] wrote} [RHQ] [in the Scriptures], The men who were building a house rejected a certain stone. But others put that same stone in its proper place, and it has become the most important stone in the building [MET].
18 Hver, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.‟
[That stone represents me, the Messiah], and those who reject me are [like people who fall on this stone]. Everyone who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces {This stone will break to pieces everyone who falls on it}, and it will crush anyone on whom it falls.”
19 Og Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge søgte at lægge Haand paa ham i den samme Time, men de frygtede for Folket; thi de forstode, at han sagde denne Lignelse imod dem.
The chief priests and the men who taught the [Jewish] laws realized that he was accusing them when he told the parable [about what those wicked men did]. So they immediately tried to find a way to seize [MTY] him, but [they did not seize him, because] they were afraid of [what] the people [there would do if they did that].
20 Og de toge Vare paa ham og udsendte Lurere, der anstillede sig, som om de vare retfærdige, for at fange ham i Ord, saa de kunde overgive ham til Øvrigheden og Landshøvdingens Magt.
So they watched him carefully. They also hired (spies/secret agents) who pretended to be sincere. [But] they really wanted to get him to say something for [which they could accuse] him. They wanted to be able to turn him over to the authority of the governor [of the province. But they also knew that the Jews were disgusted with having to pay taxes to the government].
21 Og de spurgte ham og sagde: „Mester! vi vide, at du taler og lærer rettelig og ikke ser paa Personer, men lærer Guds Vej i Sandhed.
[So] one of them asked Jesus, “Teacher, we [(exc)] know that you [(sg)] speak and teach what is right. You tell the truth even if important people do not like it. You teach truthfully what God wants us to do.
22 Er det os tilladt at give Kejseren Skat eller ej?‟
[So tell us what you think about this matter]: Is it right that we pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY], or not?”
23 Men da han mærkede deres Træskhed, sagde han til dem: „Hvorfor friste I mig?
But Jesus knew that they were trying to trick him [to get him into trouble, either with the Jews, who hated to pay those taxes, or with the Roman government]. So he said to them,
24 Viser mig en Denar; hvis Billede og Overskrift bærer den?‟ Men de svarede og sagde: „Kejserens.‟
“Show me a [Roman] coin. [Then tell me] whose picture is on it. And [tell me whose] name is on it.” They [showed him a coin and] said, “It has the picture and name of Caesar, [the head of the Roman government].”
25 Men han sagde til dem: „Saa giver da Kejseren, hvad Kejserens er, og Gud, hvad Guds er.‟
He said to them, “In that case, give to the government [MTY] what they [require], and give to God what he [requires].”
26 Og de kunde ikke fange ham i Ord i Folkets Paahør, og de forundrede sig over hans Svar og tav.
While the people were there, the [spies] were unable to find fault with him for what he said. And they were amazed at his answer. So they said nothing.
27 Men nogle af Saddukæerne, som nægte, at der er Opstandelse, kom til ham og spurgte ham og sagde:
Some Sadducees came to [Jesus]. They are a Jewish sect who do not believe that people will become alive again after they die.
28 „Mester! Moses har foreskrevet os: Dersom en har en Broder, som er gift, og denne dør barnløs, da skal hans Broder tage Hustruen og oprejse sin Broder Afkom.
They [wanted to] ask [Jesus] a question [in order to discredit the idea that dead people will live again]. One of them said [to Jesus], “Teacher, Moses wrote for us [Jews] about situations where a man who has a wife but no children. If the man dies, his brother should marry the [dead man’s] widow so that she can have a child by him. People [will consider] that the child is the descendant of the man [who died], [and in that way the dead man will have descendants].
29 Nu var der syv Brødre; og den første tog en Hustru og døde barnløs.
Well, there were seven brothers in one family. The oldest one married, but he and his wife did not bear any children. Later he died.
30 Ligesaa den anden.
The second [brother followed this law and married the widow, but the same thing happened to him].
31 Og den tredje tog hende, og saaledes ogsaa alle syv; de døde uden at efterlade Børn.
Then the third [brother] married her, [but the same thing happened again]. All seven [brothers, one by one, married that woman], [but] they had no children, and [one by one] they died.
32 Men til sidst døde ogsaa Hustruen.
Afterwards, the woman died, too.
33 Hvem af dem faar hende saa til Hustru i Opstandelsen? thi de have alle syv haft hende til Hustru.‟
Therefore, [if it is true that there will be a time] when dead people will become alive again, whose wife [do you think that woman] will be [then]? ([Keep in mind that she was married to all seven brothers!/It will be impossible to decide because] she was married to all seven brothers!) [RHQ]”
Jesus replied to them, “Men who live here in this world take wives, or are given wives [by their parents] {their [parents] choose wives [for them]}. (aiōn g165)
35 men de, som agtes værdige til at faa Del i hin Verden og i Opstandelsen fra de døde, tage hverken til Ægte eller bortgiftes. (aiōn g165)
But the men whom God considers worthy of [being in heaven after] they become alive again will not be married. (aiōn g165)
36 Thi de kunne ikke mere dø; thi de ere Engle lige og ere Guds Børn, idet de ere Opstandelsens Børn.
[You need to know also that] they cannot die any more, because they will be [immortal] [SIM] like angels. [The fact that God has caused] them to be alive again [will show] that they are God’s children.
37 Men at de døde oprejses, har ogsaa Moses givet til Kende i Stedet om Tornebusken, naar han kalder Herren: Abrahams Gud og Isaks Gud og Jakobs Gud.
But [as for people] becoming alive again after they die, Moses wrote something about that. In the place where [he wrote about] the [burning] bush, he mentions the Lord as being the God whom Abraham [worships] and the God whom Isaac [worships] and the God whom Jacob [worships].
38 Men han er ikke dødes, men levendes Gud; thi for ham leve de alle.‟
It is not dead people who worship God. It is living people who worship him. [Abraham, Isaac and Jacob died long before Moses lived, but God said that they were still worshipping him, so we(inc) know their spirits were still alive]! All [people] whose [spirits] are alive [again after they die continue to live to honor God]!”
39 Men nogle af de skriftkloge svarede og sagde: „Mester! du talte vel.‟
Some of the men who taught the [Jewish] laws replied, “Teacher, you [(sg)] have answered very well!”
40 Og de turde ikke mere spørge ham om noget.
After that, they no longer dared to ask him any more questions [like that to try to trap him].
41 Men han sagde til dem: „Hvorledes siger man, at Kristus er Davids Søn?
Then Jesus said to them, “I will show you (OR, prove to you) that people [are wrong who] say that the Messiah is [merely] a descendant of [King] David! [RHQ]
42 David selv siger jo i Psalmernes Bog: Herren sagde til min Herre: Sæt dig ved min højre Haand,
Because David himself wrote [about the Messiah] in the book of Psalms, God said to my Lord, Sit [here beside me] on my right, [where I will highly honor you(sg)] [MTY].
43 indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.
[Sit here] while I completely defeat your enemies.
44 Altsaa kalder David ham en Herre, hvorledes er han da hans Søn?‟
King David calls [the Messiah] ‘[my] Lord’! So ([the Messiah] cannot be [just someone] descended from [King] David!/how can the Messiah be [just] someone descended from [King] David?) [RHQ] [What I just said proves that he is much greater than David, isn’t that right]?”
45 Men i hele Folkets Paahør sagde han til Disciplene:
While all the [other] people were listening, [Jesus] said to his disciples,
46 „Vogter eder for de skriftkloge, som gerne ville gaa i lange Klæder og holde af at lade sig hilse paa Torvene og at have de fornemste Pladser i Synagogerne og at sidde øverst til Bords ved Maaltiderne,
“Beware that [you do not act like] the men who teach our [Jewish] laws. They like to put on long robes and walk around [to make people think that they are very important]. [They] also like [people to] greet them [respectfully] in the marketplaces. They like [to sit in] the most important places in the Jewish meeting places. At dinner parties [they like to sit in] the seats where the most honored people sit.
47 de, som opæde Enkers Huse og paa Skrømt bede længe; disse skulle faa des haardere Dom.‟
They swindle [MET] the houses [and property] of widows. [Then] they pretend they are good, as they pray [long] prayers [publicly. God] will [certainly] punish them very severely.”
