Lukas 23
1 Og hele Mængden stod op og førte ham for Pilatus.
Then the whole group got up and took Jesus to Pilate, [the Roman governor].
2 Og de begyndte at anklage ham og sagde: „Vi have fundet, at denne vildleder vort Folk og forbyder at give Kejseren Skat og siger om sig selv, at han er Kristus, en Konge.‟
They began to accuse Jesus, saying, “We [(exc)] have determined that this fellow has caused political trouble in our country. He has been [telling people that they should] not pay taxes to the Roman government [MTY]. Also, he says that he is the Messiah, a king!”
3 Men Pilatus spurgte ham og sagde: „Er du Jødernes Konge?‟ Og han svarede og sagde til ham: „Du siger det.‟
Pilate asked him, “Do you [(sg) claim that you are] the King of the Jews?” He replied, “[It is] as you have [just] now said.”
4 Men Pilatus sagde til Ypperstepræsterne og til Skarerne: „Jeg finder ingen Skyld hos dette Menneske.‟
Pilate said to the chief priests and [the rest of] the crowd, “I do not conclude that this man is guilty of any crime.”
5 Men de bleve ivrigere og sagde: „Han oprører Folket, idet han lærer over hele Judæa fra Galilæa af, hvor han begyndte, og lige hertil.‟
But they kept insisting, “He is inciting the people [to riot]! He has been teaching his [ideas] throughout all of Judea [district]. He started [doing it] in Galilee [district] and now he is doing it here!”
6 Men da Pilatus hørte om Galilæa, spurgte han, om Manden var en Galilæer.
When Pilate heard that, he asked, “Is this man from Galilee [district]?”
7 Og da han fik at vide, at han var fra Herodes's Omraade, sendte han ham til Herodes, som ogsaa selv var i Jerusalem i disse Dage.
When they told him that Jesus was [from Galilee, which was the district] that Herod [Antipas] ruled, [he told them] to take Jesus to Herod [Antipas], because Herod was in Jerusalem at that time.
8 Men da Herodes saa Jesus, blev han meget glad; thi han havde i lang Tid gerne villet se ham, fordi han hørte om ham, og han haabede at se et Tegn blive gjort af ham.
[So they did]. When Herod saw Jesus, he was very happy. He [had heard about Jesus], and he had been hoping for a long time that he could see Jesus perform a miracle.
9 Og han gjorde ham mange Spørgsmaal; men han svarede ham intet.
So he asked Jesus many questions, but Jesus did not reply [to any of them].
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge stode og anklagede ham heftigt.
The chief priests and men who taught the [Jewish] laws stood near Jesus, accusing him very strongly.
11 Men da Herodes med sine Krigsfolk havde haanet og spottet ham, kastede han et prægtigt Klædebon om ham og sendte ham til Pilatus igen.
Then Herod and his soldiers (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus]. They put gorgeous clothes on him [to mock him as being a king]. Then Herod sent him back to Pilate.
12 Paa den Dag bleve Herodes og Pilatus Venner med hinanden; thi de vare før i Fjendskab med hinanden.
Until that time Herod and Pilate had been very hostile to each other, but that very day they became friends.
13 Men Pilatus sammenkaldte Ypperstepræsterne og Raadsherrerne og Folket
Pilate then gathered together the chief priests and other [Jewish] leaders and the crowd [that was still there].
14 og sagde til dem: „I have ført dette Menneske til mig som en, der forfører Folket til Frafald; og se, jeg har forhørt ham i eders Paahør og har ingen Skyld fundet hos dette Menneske i det, som I anklage ham for,
He said to them, “You brought this man to me, saying that he had caused trouble among the people. But [I want you to know that] after having examined him while you were listening, I do not conclude that he is guilty of any of the things that you are accusing him about.
15 og Herodes ikke heller, thi han sendte ham tilbage til os; og se, han har intet gjort, som han er skyldig at dø for.
[Obviously] Herod did not [conclude that] either, because he sent him back to me [without punishing him]. [So it] is clear that this man has not done anything for which we [(inc)] should kill him.
16 Derfor vil jeg revse ham og lade ham løs.‟
So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
17 [Men han var nødt til at løslade dem een paa Højtiden.]
18 Men de raabte alle sammen og sagde: „Bort med ham, men løslad os Barabbas!‟
But the whole crowd shouted, “Execute this man! Release Barrabas for us [(exc)]!”
19 Denne var kastet i Fængsel for et Oprør, som var sket i Staden, og for Mord.
Barrabas was a man who had tried to persuade people in the city to rebel [against the Roman government. While doing that], he had murdered [someone]. So he had been put {they had put him} in prison, [where he was waiting to be executed].
20 Og atter talte Pilatus til dem, da han gerne vilde løslade Jesus.
Because Pilate wanted to release Jesus, he tried to persuade the crowd again.
21 Men de raabte til ham og sagde: „Korsfæst, korsfæst ham!‟
But they kept shouting, “[Command your soldiers to] kill him by nailing him to a cross!/Have him crucified!”
22 Men han sagde tredje Gang til dem: „Hvad ondt har da denne gjort? Jeg har ingen Dødsskyld fundet hos ham; derfor vil jeg revse ham og lade ham løs.‟
He [spoke to them] a third time and asked them, “Why? What crime has he committed? I have concluded that he has done nothing for which he deserves to die. So I will [have my soldiers] flog him and then release him.”
23 Men de trængte paa med stærke Raab og forlangte, at han skulde korsfæstes; og deres Raab fik Overhaand.
But they kept insisting. They shouted loudly that [Jesus] should be nailed {that [Pilate] should [have his soldiers] nail [Jesus]} to a cross. Finally, because they continued to shout [PRS] [so loudly],
24 Og Pilatus dømte, at deres Forlangende skulde opfyldes;
Pilate decided to do what the crowd requested.
25 og han løslod den, de forlangte, som var kastet i Fængsel for Oprør og Mord; men Jesus overgav han til deres Villie.
The man who had been {whom they had} put in prison because he had rebelled [against the government] and who had murdered [someone], he released! That was the man whom the crowd had asked him [to release]. He handed Jesus over [to the soldiers], to do what [the crowd] wanted.
26 Og da de førte ham bort, toge de fat paa en vis Simon fra Kyrene, som kom fra Marken, og lagde Korset paa ham, for at han skulde bære det bag efter Jesus.
As the soldiers were taking [Jesus] away, they seized a man named Simon, [who was] from Cyrene [city in Africa]. He was returning [to Jerusalem] from out in the countryside. They [took from Jesus the cross that he had been carrying. Then] they put it on Simon’s shoulders, and [told him to] carry it behind Jesus.
27 Men der fulgte ham en stor Hob af Folket, og af Kvinder, som jamrede og græd over ham.
A large crowd followed Jesus. The crowd included many women who were beating their breasts [to show how sad they were], and wailing for him.
28 Men Jesus vendte sig om til dem og sagde: „I Jerusalems Døtre! græder ikke over mig, men græder over eder selv og over eders Børn!
But Jesus turned to them and said, “You women of Jerusalem, do not cry for me! Instead, cry because of [what is going to happen to] yourselves and your children!
29 Thi se, der kommer Dage, da man skal sige: Salige ere de ufrugtbare og de Liv, som ikke fødte, og de Bryster, som ikke gave Die.
I want you to know that there will soon be a time when people will say, ‘Women [SYN] who have never borne children or nursed babies are fortunate!’
30 Da skulle de begynde at sige til Bjergene: Falder over os! og til Højene: Skjuler os!
Then, [in order that they will not have to suffer greatly when their enemies destroy this city], people who are left in the city will say to the mountains, ‘Fall down on us!’ And people will say to the hills, ‘Cover us!’
31 Thi gør man dette ved det grønne Træ, hvad vil da ske med det tørre?‟
[I am innocent] [MET]. [I am like] a living tree [that people do not try to burn. But the people of Jerusalem deserve that their enemies punish them. They are like] dry wood that is ready to [burn]. So if they [nail me to the cross], ([their enemies] will certainly do much worse things to them!/what worse things will happen to them?) [RHQ]”
32 Men der blev ogsaa to andre Misdædere førte ud for at henrettes med ham.
Two other men who were criminals were also being led away {[The soldiers] also led away two other men who were criminals}. They were going to be executed {[The soldiers] were going to execute them} [with Jesus].
33 Og da de vare komne til det Sted, som kaldes „Hovedskal‟, korsfæstede de ham der, og Misdæderne, den ene ved hans højre, og den anden ved hans venstre Side.
When they came to the place which is called ‘The Skull’, they nailed [Jesus] to a cross [after removing his clothes]. They did the same thing to the two criminals. They crucified one at the right [side of Jesus] and one at his left [side].
34 Men Jesus sagde: „Fader! forlad dem; thi de vide ikke, hvad de gøre.‟ Men de delte hans Klæder imellem sig ved Lodkastning.
Jesus prayed, “[My] Father, forgive them, because they do not realize [whom] they are doing [this to]!” Then [the soldiers] divided Jesus’ clothing by gambling with something like dice, [to decide which piece of clothing each one would get].
35 Og Folket stod og saa til; men ogsaa Raadsherrerne spottede ham og sagde: „Andre har han frelst, lad ham frelse sig selv, dersom han er Guds Kristus, den udvalgte.‟
Many people stood nearby, watching. And the [Jewish] leaders (made fun of/ridiculed) [Jesus], saying, “He [said] [IRO] [that he] saved other people! If he is the Messiah, the one God has chosen, he should save himself!”
36 Men ogsaa Stridsmændene spottede ham, idet de traadte til, rakte ham Eddike og sagde:
The soldiers also ridiculed him because he [claimed to be a king]. They came up to him and offered him some sour wine.
37 „Dersom du er Jødernes Konge, da frels dig selv!‟
They said to him, “If you [(sg)] are the King of the Jews, save yourself!”
38 Men der var ogsaa sat en Overskrift over ham [skreven paa Græsk og Latin og Hebraisk]: „Denne er Jødernes Konge.‟
[They] also [fastened on the cross] a sign [that stated] why [they] were nailing him to the cross. [But all it said was], ‘This is the King of the Jews’.
39 Men en af de ophængte Misdædere spottede ham og sagde: „Er du ikke Kristus? Frels dig selv og os!‟
One of the criminals who was hanging [on a cross] began to insult Jesus, saying, “You [(sg) said that you] are the Messiah, so [you must be powerful]! So save yourself, and save us, too!”
40 Men den anden svarede og irettesatte ham og sagde: „Frygter heller ikke du Gud, da du er under den samme Dom?
But the other [criminal] rebuked him, saying, “(You [(sg)] should be afraid of God [punishing you]!/Are you not afraid of God [punishing you]?) [RHQ] They are punishing him [and us] similarly.
41 Og vi ere det med Rette; thi vi faa igen, hvad vore Gerninger have forskyldt; men denne gjorde intet uskikkeligt.‟
They have justly decided that we [(inc) two] must die. They are punishing us as we deserve [for the evil things that we did]. But this man has done nothing wrong!”
42 Og han sagde: „Jesus! kom mig i Hu, naar du kommer i dit Rige!‟
Then he said, “Jesus, [please] remember me [and take care of me] when you become king!”
43 Og han sagde til ham: „Sandelig, siger jeg dig, i Dag skal du være med mig i Paradiset.‟
Jesus replied, “I want you [(sg)] to know that today you [(sg)] will be with me in the place where everyone is happy!” (OR, that today you will be with me in Paradise!)
44 Og det var nu ved den sjette Time, og der blev Mørke over hele Landet indtil den niende Time,
[Then it] was about noontime. It became dark over the whole land, [and it stayed dark] until three o’clock in the afternoon.
45 idet Solen formørkedes; og Forhænget i Templet splittedes midt over.
There was no light from the sun. Then the [thick] curtain [that closed off the most holy place] in the Temple split into two pieces. [That signified that ordinary people could now go into the presence of God].
46 Og Jesus raabte med høj Røst og sagde: „Fader! i dine Hænder befaler jeg min Aand; ‟ og da han havde sagt det, udaandede han.
[As that happened], Jesus shouted loudly, “Father, I put my spirit into your care [MTY]!” When he said that, he [EUP] died.
47 Men da Høvedsmanden saa det, som skete, gav han Gud Æren og sagde: „I Sandhed, dette Menneske var retfærdigt.‟
When the officer [who supervised the soldiers who were executing Jesus] saw what happened, he praised God [for the way Jesus died], saying, “[I am] sure that this man had done nothing wrong!”
48 Og alle Skarerne, som vare komne sammen til dette Skue, sloge sig for Brystet, da de saa, hvad der skete, og vendte tilbage.
When the crowd of people who had gathered to see those events saw what happened, they returned [to their homes], beating their chests [to show that they were sorrowful].
49 Men alle hans Kyndinge stode langt borte, ligesaa de Kvinder, som fulgte med ham fra Galilæa, og saa dette.
All of Jesus’ friends, including the women who had come with him from Galilee [district], stood at a distance and saw everything that happened.
50 Og se, en Mand ved Navn Josef, som var Raadsherre, en god og retfærdig Mand,
There was a man named Joseph who [came there]. He was from the town of Arimathea in Judea. He was a good and a righteous man, and he was a member of the [Jewish] Council.
51 han havde ikke samtykket i deres Raad og Gerning, han var fra Arimathæa, en jødisk By, og han forventede Guds Rige;
But he had not agreed with the other Council [members] when they decided [to kill Jesus] and when they [planned how to] do it. He was waiting expectantly for [the time when] God [would send] his king to begin to rule.
52 han gik til Pilatus og bad om Jesu Legeme.
He went to Pilate and asked [Pilate to permit him] to [take] Jesus’ body [and bury it. After Pilate allowed him to do that],
53 Og han tog det ned og svøbte det i et fint Linklæde, og han lagde ham i en Grav, som var hugget i en Klippe, hvor endnu ingen nogen Sinde var lagt.
he [and some others] took [Jesus’ body] down [from the cross]. They wrapped it in a linen cloth. Then they put his body in a tomb that he had [hired others to] dig out of a rock [cliff]. No one had ever put a body in it before.
54 Og det var Beredelsesdag, og Sabbaten stundede til.
[They had to do it quickly because] that was [Friday], the day when [people] prepared [things for the Jewish day of rest]. (The Sabbath/The day of rest) was about to start [at sunset, so they had to finish burying Jesus’ body before sunset].
55 Men Kvinderne, som vare komne med ham fra Galilæa, fulgte efter og saa Graven, og hvorledes hans Legeme blev lagt.
The women who had come with [Jesus] from Galilee [district] followed [Joseph and the men who were with him]. They saw the tomb, and they saw how the men laid [Jesus’] body [inside it, and saw the men roll a huge stone across the entrance].
56 Og de vendte tilbage og beredte vellugtende Urter og Salver; og Sabbaten over holdt de sig stille efter Budet.
Then the women returned to the houses [where they were staying. That evening] they prepared spices and ointments to put [on Jesus’ body], but (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day) they rested, according to what [Moses] had commanded.
