Lukas 9
1 Men han sammenkaldte de tolv og gav dem Magt og Myndighed over alle de onde Aander og til at helbrede Sygdomme.
Then calling the Twelve together He conferred on them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases;
2 Og han sendte dem ud for at prædike Guds Rige og helbrede de syge.
and sent them out to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to cure the sick.
3 Og han sagde til dem: „Tager intet med paa Vejen, hverken Stav eller Taske eller Brød eller Penge, ej heller skal nogen have to Kjortler.
And He commanded them, "Take nothing for your journey; neither stick nor bag nor bread nor money; and do not have an extra under garment.
4 Og hvor I komme ind i et Hus, der skulle I blive og derfra drage bort.
Whatever house you enter, make that your home, and from it start afresh.
5 Og hvor som helst de ikke modtage eder, fra den By skulle I gaa ud og endog ryste Støvet af eders Fødder til Vidnesbyrd imod dem.‟
Wherever they refuse to receive you, as you leave that town shake off the very dust from your feet as a protest against them."
6 Men de gik ud og droge fra Landsby til Landsby, idet de forkyndte Evangeliet og helbredte alle Vegne.
So they departed and visited village after village, spreading the Good News and performing cures everywhere.
7 Men Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes hørte alt det, som skete; og han var tvivlraadig, fordi nogle sagde, at Johannes var oprejst fra de døde;
Now Herod the Tetrarch heard of all that was going on; and he was bewildered because of its being said by some that John had come back to life,
8 men nogle, at Elias havde vist sig; men andre, at en af de gamle Profeter var opstanden.
by others that Elijah had appeared, and by others that some one of the ancient Prophets had come back to life.
9 Men Herodes sagde: „Johannes har jeg ladet halshugge; men hvem er denne, om hvem jeg hører saadanne Ting?‟ Og han søgte at faa ham at se.
And Herod said, "John I have beheaded; but who is this, of whom I hear such reports?" And he sought for an opportunity of seeing Jesus.
10 Og Apostlene kom tilbage og fortalte ham, hvor store Ting de havde gjort. Og han tog dem med sig og drog bort afsides til en By, som kaldes Bethsajda.
The Apostles, on their return, related to Jesus all they had done. Then He took them and withdrew to a quiet retreat, to a town called Bethsaida.
11 Men da Skarerne fik det at vide, fulgte de efter ham; og han tog imod dem og talte til dem om Guds Rige og helbredte dem, som trængte til Lægedom.
But the immense crowd, aware of this, followed Him; and receiving them kindly He proceeded to speak to them of the Kingdom of God, and those who needed to be restored to health, He cured.
12 Men Dagen begyndte at hælde. Og de tolv kom hen og sagde til ham: „Lad Skaren gaa bort, for at de kunne gaa herfra til de omliggende Landsbyer og Gaarde og faa Herberge og finde Føde; thi her ere vi paa et øde Sted.‟
Now when the day began to decline, the Twelve came to Him and said, "Send the people away, that they may go to the villages and farms round about and find lodging and a supply of food; because here we are in an uninhabited district."
13 Men han sagde til dem: „Giver I dem at spise!‟ Men de sagde: „Vi have ikke mere end fem Brød og to Fisk, med mindre vi skulle gaa bort og købe Mad til hele denne Mængde.‟
"You yourselves," He said, "must give them food." "We have nothing," they replied, "but five loaves and a couple of fish, unless indeed we were to go and buy provisions for all this host of people."
14 De vare nemlig omtrent fem Tusinde Mænd. Men han sagde til sine Disciple: „Lader dem sætte sig ned i Hobe, halvtredsindstyve i hver.‟
(For there were about 5,000 adult men.) But He said to His disciples, "Make them sit down in parties of about fifty each."
15 Og de gjorde saa og lode dem alle sætte sig ned.
They did so, making them all, without exception, sit down.
16 Men han tog de fem Brød og de to Fisk, saa op til Himmelen og velsignede dem, og han brød dem og gav sine Disciple dem at lægge dem for Skaren.
Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to Heaven He blessed them and broke them into portions which He gave to the disciples to distribute to the people.
17 Og de spiste og bleve alle mætte; og det, som de fik tilovers af Stykker, blev opsamlet, tolv Kurve.
So they ate and were fully satisfied, all of them; and what they had remaining over was gathered up, twelve baskets of fragments.
18 Og det skete, medens han bad, vare hans Disciple alene hos ham; og han spurgte dem og sagde: „Hvem sige Skarerne, at jeg er?‟
One day when He was praying by Himself the disciples were present; and He asked them, "Who do the people say that I am?"
19 Men de svarede og sagde: „Johannes Døberen; men andre: Elias; men andre: En af de gamle Profeter er opstanden.‟
"John the Baptist," they replied; "but others say Elijah; and others that some one of the ancient Prophets has come back to life."
20 Og han sagde til dem: „Men I, hvem sige I, at jeg er?‟ Og Peter svarede og sagde: „Guds Kristus.‟
"But you," He asked, "who do you say that I am?" "God's Anointed One," replied Peter.
21 Men han bød dem strengt ikke at sige dette til nogen,
And Jesus strictly forbad them to tell this to any one;
22 idet han sagde: „Menneskesønnen skal lide meget og forkastes af de Ældste og Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge og ihjelslaas og oprejses paa den tredje Dag.‟
and He said, "The Son of Man must suffer much cruelty, be rejected by the Elders and High Priests and Scribes, and be put to death, and on the third day be raised to life again."
23 Men han sagde til alle: „Vil nogen komme efter mig, han fornægte sig selv og tage sit Kors op daglig og følge mig;
And He said to all, "If any one is desirous of following me, let him ignore self and take up his cross day by day, and so be my follower.
24 thi den, som vil frelse sit Liv, skal miste det; men den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, han skal frelse det.
For whoever desires to save his life shall lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake shall save it.
25 Thi hvad gavner det et Menneske, om han har vundet den hele Verden, men mistet sig selv eller bødet med sig selv?
Why, what benefit is it to a man to have gained the whole world, but to have lost or forfeited his own self.
26 Thi den, som skammer sig ved mig og mine Ord, ved ham skal Menneskesønnen skamme sig, naar han kommer i sin og Faderens og de hellige Engles Herlighed.
For whoever shall have been ashamed of me and my teachings, of him the Son of Man will be ashamed when He comes in His own and the Father's glory and in that of the holy angels.
27 Men sandelig, siger jeg eder: Der er nogle af dem, som staa her, der ingenlunde skulle smage Døden, førend de se Guds Rige.‟
I tell you truly that there are some of those who stand here who will certainly not taste death till they have seen the Kingdom of God."
28 Men det skete omtrent otte Dage efter denne Tale, at han tog Peter og Johannes og Jakob med sig og gik op paa Bjerget for at bede.
It was about eight days after this that Jesus, taking with Him Peter, John, and James, went up the mountain to pray.
29 Og det skete, medens han bad, da blev hans Ansigts Udseende anderledes, og hans Klædebon blev hvidt og straalende.
And while He was praying the appearance of His face underwent a change, and His clothing became white and radiant.
30 Og se, to Mænd talte med ham, og det var Moses og Elias,
And suddenly there were two men conversing with Him, who were Moses and Elijah.
31 som bleve sete i Herlighed og talte om hans Udgang, som han skulde fuldbyrde i Jerusalem.
They came in glory, and kept speaking about His death, which He was so soon to undergo in Jerusalem.
32 Men Peter og de, som vare med ham, vare betyngede af Søvn; men da de vaagnede op, saa de hans Herlighed og de to Mænd, som stode hos ham.
Now Peter and the others were weighed down with sleep; but, keeping themselves awake all through, they saw His glory, and the two men standing with Him.
33 Og det skete, da disse skiltes fra ham, sagde Peter til Jesus: „Mester! det er godt, at vi ere her; og lader os gøre tre Hytter, en til dig og en til Moses og en til Elias; ‟ men han vidste ikke, hvad han sagde.
And when they were preparing to depart from Him, Peter said to Jesus, "Rabbi, we are thankful to you that we are here. Let us put up three tents--one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He did not know what he was saying.
34 Men idet han sagde dette, kom en Sky og overskyggede dem; men de frygtede, da de kom ind i Skyen.
But while he was thus speaking, there came a cloud which spread over them; and they were awe-struck when they had entered into the cloud.
35 Og der kom fra Skyen en Røst, som sagde: „Denne er min Søn, den udvalgte, hører ham!‟
Then there came a voice from within the cloud: "This is My Son, My Chosen One: listen to Him."
36 Og da Røsten kom, blev Jesus funden alene. Og de tav og forkyndte i de Dage ingen noget af det, de havde set.
After this voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. They kept it to themselves, and said not a word to any one at that time about what they had seen.
37 Men det skete Dagen derefter, da de kom ned fra Bjerget, at der mødte ham en stor Skare.
On the following day, when they were come down from the mountain, a great crowd came to meet Him;
38 Og se, en Mand af Skaren raabte og sagde: „Mester! jeg beder dig, se til min Søn; thi han er min enbaarne.
and a man from the crowd called out, "Rabbi, I beg you to pity my son, for he is my only child.
39 Og se, en Aand griber ham, og pludseligt skriger han, og den slider i ham, saa at han fraader, og med Nød viger den fra ham, idet den mishandler ham;
At times a spirit seizes him and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him, and makes him foam at the mouth, and does not leave him till it has well-nigh covered him with bruises.
40 og jeg bad dine Disciple om at uddrive den; og de kunde ikke.‟
I entreated your disciples to expel the spirit, but they could not."
41 Men Jesus svarede og sagde: „O du vantro og forvendte Slægt! hvor længe skal jeg være hos eder og taale eder? Bring din Søn hid!‟
"O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here to me."
42 Men endnu medens han gik derhen, rev og sled den onde Aand i ham. Men Jesus truede den urene Aand og helbredte Drengen og gav hans Fader ham tilbage.
Now while the youth was coming, the spirit dashed him to the ground and cruelly convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the foul spirit, and cured the youth and gave him back to his father.
43 Men de bleve alle slagne af Forundring over Guds Majestæt. Men da alle undrede sig over alt det, han gjorde, sagde han til sine Disciple:
And all were awe-struck at the mighty power of God. And while every one was expressing wonder at all that He was doing, He said to his disciples,
44 „Gemmer i eders Øren disse Ord: Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder.‟
"As for you, store these my sayings in your memory; for, before long, the Son of Man will be betrayed into the hands of men."
45 Men de forstode ikke dette Ord, og det var skjult for dem, saa de ikke begrebe det, og de frygtede for at spørge ham om dette Ord.
But they did not understand His meaning: it was veiled from them that they might not perceive it, and they were afraid to ask Him about it.
46 Men der opstod den Tanke hos dem, hvem der vel var den største af dem.
Now there arose a dispute among them, which of them was to be the greatest.
47 Men da Jesus saa deres Hjertes Tanke, tog han et Barn og stillede det hos sig.
And Jesus, knowing the reasoning that was in their hearts, took a young child and made him stand by His side
48 Og han sagde til dem: „Den, som modtager dette Barn for mit Navns Skyld, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager den, som udsendte mig; thi den, som er den mindste iblandt eder alle, han er stor.‟
and said to them, "Whoever for my sake receives this little child, receives me; and whoever receives me, receives Him who sent me. For the lowliest among you all--he is the greatest."
49 Men Johannes tog til Orde og sagde: „Mester! vi saa en uddrive onde Aander i dit Navn; og vi forbøde ham det, fordi han ikke følger med os.‟
"Rabbi," replied John, "we have seen a man making use of your name to expel demons; and we forbad him, because he does not come with us."
50 Men Jesus sagde til ham: „Forbyder ham det ikke; thi den, som ikke er imod eder, er for eder.‟
"Do not forbid him," said Jesus, "for he who is not against you is on your side."
51 Men det skete, da hans Optagelses Dage vare ved at fuldkommes, da fæstede han sit Ansigt paa at drage til Jerusalem.
Now when the time drew near for Him to be received up again into Heaven, He proceeded with fixed purpose towards Jerusalem, and sent messengers before Him.
52 Og han sendte Sendebud forud for sig; og de gik og kom ind i en Samaritanerlandsby for at berede ham Herberge.
They went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make ready for Him.
53 Og de modtoge ham ikke, fordi han var paa Vejen til Jerusalem.
But the people there would not receive Him, because He was evidently going to Jerusalem.
54 Men da hans Disciple, Jakob og Johannes, saa det, sagde de: „Herre! vil du, at vi skulle byde Ild fare ned fra Himmelen og fortære dem, ligesom ogsaa Elias gjorde?‟
When the disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Master, do you wish us to order fire to come down from Heaven and consume them?"
55 Men han vendte sig og irettesatte dem.
But He turned and rebuked them.
56 Og de gik til en anden Landsby.
And they went to another village.
57 Og medens de vandrede paa Vejen, sagde en til ham: „Jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end gaar hen.‟
And, as they proceeded on their way, a man came to Him and said, "I will follow you wherever you go."
58 Og Jesus sagde til ham: „Ræve have Huler, og Himmelens Fugle Reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det, hvortil han kan hælde sit Hoved.‟
"The foxes have holes," said Jesus, "and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
59 Men han sagde til en anden: „Følg mig!‟ Men denne sagde: „Herre! tilsted mig først at gaa hen at begrave min Fader.‟
"Follow me," He said to another. "Master," the man replied, "allow me first to go and bury my father."
60 Men han sagde til ham: „Lad de døde begrave deres døde; men gaa du hen og forkynd Guds Rige!‟
"Leave the dead," Jesus rejoined, "to bury their own dead; but you must go and announce far and wide the coming of the Kingdom of God."
61 Men ogsaa en anden sagde: „Herre! jeg vil følge dig; men tilsted mig først at tage Afsked med dem, som ere i mit Hus.‟
"Master," said yet another, "I will follow you; but allow me first to go and say good-bye to my friends at home."
62 Men Jesus sagde til ham: „Ingen, som lægger sin Haand paa Ploven og ser tilbage, er vel skikket for Guds Rige.‟
Jesus answered him, "No one who has put his hand to the plough, and then looks behind him, is fit for the Kingdom of God.
