< Lukas 8 >

1 Og det skete i Tiden derefter, at han rejste igennem Byer og Landsbyer og prædikede og forkyndte Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og med ham de tolv
And it came to pass afterward, that he went through every city and village, preaching, and making known the good news of the kingdom of God; and the twelve were with him;
2 og nogle Kvinder, som vare helbredede fra onde Aander og Sygdomme, nemlig: Maria, der kaldes Magdalene, af hvem syv onde Aander vare udfarne;
and also certain women that had been cured of evil spirits and diseases; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom had gone seven demons,
3 og Johanna, Herodes's Husfoged Kuzas Hustru, og Susanna og mange andre, som tjente dem med, hvad de ejede.
and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others, who ministered to him from their means.
4 Men da en stor Skare kom sammen, og de droge til ham fra de forskellige Byer, sagde han ved en Lignelse:
And when a great multitude had assembled, and they were coming to him from every city, he spoke by a parable:
5 „En Sædemand gik ud at saa sin Sæd; og idet han saaede, faldt noget ved Vejen og blev nedtraadt, og Himmelens Fugle aade det op.
The sower went forth to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell by the wayside, and it was trodden down, and the birds of the air ate it up.
6 Og noget faldt paa Klippen; og da det voksede op, visnede det, fordi det ikke havde Væde.
And some fell upon the rock; and when it had sprung up, it withered, because it had no moisture.
7 Og noget faldt midt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op med og kvalte det.
And some fell in the midst of thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 Og noget faldt i den gode Jord, og det voksede op og bar hundrede Fold Frugt.‟ Da han sagde dette, raabte han: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
And other seed fell into good ground, and sprung up, and produced fruit a hundred-fold. When he had said these things, he cried: He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
9 Men hans Disciple spurgte ham, hvad denne Lignelse skulde betyde?
And the disciples asked him, saying: What does this parable mean?
10 Og han sagde: „Eder er det givet at kende Guds Riges Hemmeligheder, men de andre i Lignelser, for at de, skønt seende, ikke skulle se, og, skønt hørende, ikke skulle forstaa.
He replied: To you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that when they see, they may not see, and when they hear, they may not understand.
11 Men dette er Lignelsen: Sæden er Guds Ord.
But the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the word of God;
12 Men de ved Vejen ere de, som høre det; derefter kommer Djævelen og tager Ordet bort af deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle tro og blive frelste.
those by the wayside are they that hear; then comes the devil and takes the word from their heart, lest they should believe and be saved.
13 Men de paa Klippen ere de, som modtage Ordet med Glæde, naar de høre det, og disse have ikke Rod; de tro til en Tid og falde fra i Fristelsens Tid.
Those on the rock are they that, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who, for awhile, believe, and in time of temptation apostatize.
14 Men det, som faldt iblandt Torne, det er dem, som have hørt og saa gaa hen og kvæles under Livets Bekymringer og Rigdom og Nydelser og ikke bære moden Frugt.
That which fell among thorns are those who hear, and so conduct themselves, that they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
15 Men det i den gode Jord, det er dem, som, naar de have hørt Ordet, beholde det i et smukt og godt Hjerte og bære Frugt i Udholdenhed.
But that on the good ground are those who, in a good and honest heart, hear the word, and keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.
16 Men ingen, som tænder et Lys, skjuler det med et Kar eller sætter det under en Bænk; men han sætter det paa en Lysestage, for at de, som komme ind, kunne se Lyset.
No one when he has lighted a lamp, covers it with a vessel, or puts it under a divan, but sets it on a lamp-stand, that they who come in may see the light.
17 Thi der er ikke noget skjult, som jo skal blive aabenbart; og ikke noget lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt og komme for Lyset.
For there is nothing concealed, that shall not be made manifest, nor hid, that shall not be known and brought into view.
18 Ser derfor til, hvorledes I høre; thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, han synes at have.‟
Take heed, therefore, how you hear; for whoever has, to him shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he seems to have shall be taken from him.
19 Men hans Moder og Brødre kom til ham og kunde ikke naa frem til ham for Skaren.
And his mother and his brothers came to him, but were not able to get near him on account of the multitude.
20 Og det blev ham meddelt: „Din Moder og dine Brødre staa udenfor og begære at se dig.‟
And it was told him by some that said: Thy mother and thy brothers stand without, desiring to see thee.
21 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Min Moder og mine Brødre ere disse, som høre Guds Ord og gøre efter det.‟
But he answered and said to them: My mother and my brothers are they that hear the word of God and do it.
22 Og det skete en af de Dage, at han gik om Bord i et Skib tillige med sine Disciple, og han sagde til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side af Søen; ‟ og de sejlede ud.
And it came to pass, on a certain day, that he entered a ship with his disciples; and he said to them: Let us go over to the other side of the lake. And they set sail.
23 Men medens de sejlede, faldt han i Søvn; og en Stormvind for ned over Søen, og Skibet blev fuldt af Vand, og de vare i Fare.
And while they were sailing, he fell asleep. And a storm of wind came down upon the lake, and they began to be filled, and were in danger.
24 Da traadte de hen og vækkede ham og sagde: „Mester, Mester! vi forgaa.‟ Men han stod op og truede Vinden og Vandets Bølger; og de lagde sig, og det blev blikstille.
And they came to him, and awoke him, saying: Master, master, we perish. But he arose and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water, and they ceased, and there was a calm.
25 Og han sagde til dem: „Hvor er eders Tro?‟ Men de frygtede og undrede sig og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden han byder baade over Vindene og Vandet, og de ere ham lydige?‟
And he said to them: Where is your faith? And being afraid, they wondered, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that he commands even the wind and the water, and they obey him?
26 Og de sejlede ind til Gadarenernes Land, som ligger lige over for Galilæa.
And they sailed to the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee.
27 Men da han traadte ud paa Landjorden, mødte der ham en Mand fra Byen, som i lang Tid havde været besat af onde Aander og ikke havde haft Klæder paa og ikke opholdt sig i Hus, men i Gravene.
And when he came out upon the land, there met him a certain man from the city, who had been possessed with demons for a long time, and who wore no clothes, and dwelt in no house, but in the tombs.
28 Men da han saa Jesus, raabte han og faldt ned for ham og sagde med høj Røst: „Hvad har jeg med dig at gøre, Jesus, den højeste Guds Søn? jeg beder dig om, at du ikke vil pine mig.‟
When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and said with a loud voice: What have I to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God Most High? I beseech thee, torment me not.
29 Thi han bød den urene Aand at fare ud af Manden; thi i lange Tider havde den revet ham med sig, og han blev bunden med Lænker og Bøjer og bevogtet, og han sønderrev, hvad man bandt ham med, og dreves af den onde Aand ud i Ørkenerne.
For he had O; commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had often seized upon him, and he had been bound with chains and fetters, and kept in confinement; and he broke the bonds, and was driven by the demon into the deserts.
30 Men Jesus spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er dit Navn?‟ Men han sagde: „Legion‟; thi mange onde Aander vare farne i ham.
And Jesus asked him, saying: What is your name? He answered, Legion; for many demons had entered into him.
31 Og de bade ham om, at han ikke vilde byde dem at fare ned i Afgrunden; (Abyssos g12)
And they be sought him, that he would not command them to go away into the abyss. (Abyssos g12)
32 men der var sammesteds en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede paa Bjerget; og de bade ham om, at han vilde tilstede dem at fare i dem; og han tilstedte dem det.
And there was in that place a herd of many swine feeding on the mountain. And they besought him to permit them to go into them. And he permitted them.
33 Men de onde Aander fore ud af Manden og fore i Svinene, og Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og druknede.
And the demons came out of the man, and went into the swine; and the herd rushed down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.
34 Men da Hyrderne saa det, som var sket, flyede de og forkyndte det i Byen og paa Landet.
And when those who fed them saw what was done, they fled, and told it in the city and in the country.
35 Da gik de ud for at se det, som var sket, og de kom til Jesus og fandt Manden, af hvem de onde Aander vare udfarne, siddende ved Jesu Fødder, paaklædt og ved Samling; og de frygtede.
And they came out to see what had been done; and they came to Jesus, and saw the man out of whom the demons had gone, clothed, and in his right mind, sitting at the feet of Jesus; and they were afraid.
36 Og de, som havde set det, fortalte dem, hvorledes den besatte var bleven frelst.
And those who had seen it, told them by what means the man who had been possessed with the demons, was saved.
37 Og hele Mængden fra Gadarenernes Omegn bad ham om, at han vilde gaa bort fra dem; thi de vare betagne af stor Frygt. Men han gik om Bord i et Skib og vendte tilbage igen.
And the whole multitude of the neighboring country of the Gadarenes besought him to depart from them; for they were seized with great fear. And he entered the ship and returned.
38 Men Manden, af hvem de onde Aander vare udfarne, bad ham om, at han maatte være hos ham; men han lod ham fare og sagde:
And the man out of whom the demons had gone, besought him that he might be with him. But Jesus sent him away, saying:
39 „Vend tilbage til dit Hus, og fortæl, hvor store Ting Gud har gjort imod dig.‟ Og han gik bort og kundgjorde over hele Byen, hvor store Ting Jesus havde gjort imod ham.
Return to your house, and tell what things God has done for you. And he went away, proclaiming through the whole city what Jesus had done for him.
40 Men det skete, da Jesus kom tilbage, tog Skaren imod ham; thi de ventede alle paa ham.
And it came to pass, when Jesus returned, that the multitude received him gladly; for they were all waiting for him.
41 Og se, der kom en Mand, som hed Jairus, og han var Forstander for Synagogen; og han faldt ned for Jesu Fødder og bad ham komme ind i hans Hus;
And, behold, there came a man, whose name was Jairus; and he was a ruler of the synagogue; and he fell down at the feet of Jesus, and besought him to come into his house;
42 thi han havde en enbaaren Datter, omtrent tolv Aar gammel, og hun droges med Døden. Men idet han gik, trængte Skarerne sig sammen om ham.
for he had a daughter, his only child, about twelve years of age, and she was dying. And as he went, the multitude pressed upon him.
43 Og en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv Aar og havde kostet al sin Formue paa Læger og ikke kunde blive helbredet af nogen,
And a woman that had been afflicted with an issue of blood for twelve years, who had spent her whole living upon physicians, and could be cured by no one,
44 hun gik til bagfra og rørte ved Fligen af hans Klædebon, og straks standsedes hendes Blodflod.
came behind, and touched the fringe of his mantle; and her issue of blood immediately ceased.
45 Og Jesus sagde: „Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?‟ Men da alle nægtede det, sagde Peter og de, som vare med ham: „Mester! Skarerne trykke og trænge dig, og du siger: Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?‟
And Jesus said: Who touched me? When they all denied, Peter and those with him said: Master, the multitudes press upon thee, and throng thee, and dost thou say, Who touched me?
46 Men Jesus sagde: „Der rørte nogen ved mig; thi jeg mærkede, at der udgik en Kraft fra mig.‟
But Jesus said: Some one touched me; for I perceive that power has gone forth from me.
47 Men da Kvinden saa, at det ikke var skjult, kom hun bævende og faldt ned for ham og fortalte i alt Folkets Paahør, af hvad Aarsag hun havde rørt ved ham, og hvorledes hun straks var bleven helbredet.
And the woman, seeing that she had not escaped notice, came trembling, and fell down before him, and told him, before all the people, for what cause she had touched him, and that she was immediately restored to health.
48 Men han sagde til hende: „Datter! din Tro har frelst dig; gaa bort med Fred!‟
And he said to her: Take courage, daughter; your faith has saved you; go in peace.
49 Medens han endnu talte, kommer der en fra Synagogeforstanderens Hus og siger til ham: „Din Datter er død; umag ikke Mesteren!‟
While he was yet speaking, there came some one from the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and said to him: Your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
50 Men da Jesus hørte det, svarede han ham: „Frygt ikke; tro blot; saa skal hun blive frelst.‟
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying: Fear not, only believe, and she shall be saved.
51 Men da han kom til Huset, tillod han ingen at gaa ind med sig uden Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Pigens Fader og Moder.
And when he came to the house, he permitted no one to go in but Peter and James and John, and the father and the mother of the child.
52 Og de græd alle og holdt Veklage over hende; men han sagde: „Græder ikke; hun er ikke død, men sover.‟
And all were weeping and lamenting her. But he said: Weep not; she is not dead, but sleeps.
53 Og de lo ad ham; thi de vidste, at hun var død.
And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.
54 Men han greb hendes Haand og raabte og sagde: „Pige, staa op!‟
But he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, and said: Child, arise.
55 Og hendes Aand vendte tilbage, og hun stod straks op; og han befalede, at de skulde give hende noget at spise.
And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately. And he commanded that food should be given her.
56 Og hendes Forældre bleve forfærdede; men han bød dem, at de ikke maatte sige nogen det, som var sket.
And her parents were amazed. But he charged them to tell no one what had been done.
