Markus 13
1 Og da han gik ud af Helligdommen, siger en af hans Disciple til ham: „Mester, se, hvilke Stene og hvilke Bygninger!‟
While Jesus was leaving the Temple [area], one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at how marvelous [these] huge stones [in the walls are] and how wonderful [these] buildings [are]!”
2 Og Jesus sagde til ham: „Ser du disse store Bygninger? der skal ikke lades Sten paa Sten, som jo skal nedbrydes.‟
Jesus said to him, “[Yes], these buildings that you are looking [at] [RHQ] [are wonderful], but I [want to tell you something about] them. They will [soon] be destroyed {[Foreign invaders] will destroy [them]} [completely, with the result that] no stone here [in this Temple area] will be left on top of another stone.”
3 Og da han sad paa Oliebjerget, lige over for Helligdommen, spurgte Peter og Jakob og Johannes og Andreas ham afsides:
After they arrived on Olive [Tree] Hill across [the valley] from the Temple, Jesus sat down. When Peter, James, John, and Andrew were alone with him, they asked him,
4 „Sig os, naar skal dette ske, og hvilket er Tegnet, naar alt dette skal til at fuldbyrdes?‟
“Tell us, when will [that] happen [to the buildings of the Temple? Tell us what will happen that will show us that all these things that God has planned] are about to be finished {that [God] is about to finish all these things [that he has planned]}.”
5 Men Jesus begyndte at sige til dem: „Ser til, at ingen forfører eder!
Jesus replied to them, “[I cannot give you a simple answer to your questions. All I will say is], beware that no one deceives you [concerning what will happen]!
6 Mange skulle paa mit Navn komme og sige: Det er mig; og de skulle forføre mange.
Many people will come and say (that I sent them/that they have my authority) [MTY]. They will say, ‘I am [the Messiah]!’ They will deceive many people.
7 Men naar I høre om Krige og Krigsrygter, da lader eder ikke forskrække, thi det maa ske; men Enden er ikke endda.
Whenever people tell you about wars [that are close] or wars that are far away, do not be troubled. [God has said] that those things must happen. [But when they do happen, do not think] that [God] will finish all [that he has planned] at that time!
8 Thi Folk skal rejse sig mod Folk, og Rige mod Rige, og der skal være Jordskælv her og der, og der skal være Hungersnød og Oprør. Dette er Veernes Begyndelse.
[Groups who live in various] countries will fight each other, and various governments will fight each other. There will also be [big] earthquakes in various places; and there will be famines. Yet, [when these things happen, people will have only just begun to suffer. The first things that they suffer will be like] the first pains a woman [suffers] who is about to bear a child. [They will suffer much more after that].
9 Men I, tager Vare paa eder selv; de skulle overgive eder til Raadsforsamlinger og til Synagoger; I skulle piskes og stilles for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem til et Vidnesbyrd.
Be ready for [what people will do to you at that time]. Because [you believe in] me, they will arrest you and put you on trial before the religious councils. (In the synagogues/In the Jewish meeting places), you will be beaten {others will beat you}. You will be put {[People will put] you} [on trial] in the presence of high government authorities. As a result, you will be able to tell them [about me].
10 Og Evangeliet bør først prædikes for alle Folkeslagene.
My good message must be proclaimed {[You] must proclaim my good message} to [people in] all people-groups before [God finishes all that he has planned].
11 Og naar de føre eder hen og overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke forud for, hvad I skulle tale; men hvad der bliver givet eder i den samme Time, det skulle I tale; thi I ere ikke de, som tale, men den Helligaand.
And when people arrest you in order to prosecute you [because you believe in me], do not worry before that happens about what you will say. Instead, say what [God] puts into your mind at that time. Then it will not be [just] you who will be speaking. It will be the Holy Spirit [who will be speaking through you].
12 Og Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn; og Børn skulle staa op mod Forældre og slaa dem ihjel.
[Other evil things will happen]: People [who do not believe in me] will (betray/help others seize) their brothers [and sisters] in order that [the government] can execute them. Parents [will betray] their children, and children will betray their parents so that [the government] will kill their parents.
13 Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld; men den, som holder ud indtil Enden, han skal blive frelst.
[In general], you will be hated by most [HYP] people {most [HYP] people will hate you} because [you believe in] me. But all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life is finished will be saved {[God] will save all you who continue [to trust in me strongly] until your life ends}.
14 Men naar I se Ødelæggelsens Vederstyggelighed staa, hvor den ikke bør, (den, som læser det, han give Agt!) da skulle de, som ere i Judæa, fly til Bjergene;
[During that time] the disgusting [thing/person that the prophet Daniel described] will enter the Temple. It/He will defile [the Temple when he enters it and will cause people to abandon it. When you see it/him standing there] where it/he should not be, [you should run away quickly] (May everyone who is reading this pay attention to [this warning from Jesus]!) [At that time] those people who are in Judea [district] must flee to [higher] hills.
15 men den, som er paa Taget, stige ikke ned eller gaa ind for at hente noget fra sit Hus;
Those people who are outside their houses must not enter their houses in order to get anything [before they run away].
16 og den, som er paa Marken, vende ikke tilbage for at hente sine Klæder!
Those who are [working] in a field must not return [to their houses] in order to get [additional] clothes [before they flee].
17 Men ve de frugtsommelige og dem, som give Die, i de Dage!
But I feel very sorry for women who will be pregnant and women who will be nursing their babies in those days, [because it will be very difficult for them to run away]
18 Men beder om, at det ikke skal ske om Vinteren;
In those days people will suffer very severely. People have never suffered like that since the time when God first created the world until now; and people will not [suffer that way] again. [So] pray that [this painful time] will not happen in (winter/the rainy season), [when it will be hard to travel].
19 thi i de Dage skal der være en saadan Trængsel, som der ikke har været fra Skabningens Begyndelse, da Gud skabte den, indtil nu, og som der heller ikke skal komme.
20 Og dersom Herren ikke afkortede de Dage, da blev intet Kød frelst; men for de udvalgtes Skyld, som han har udvalgt, har han afkortet de Dage.
If the Lord [God] had not [decided that he would] shorten that time [when people suffer so much], everyone would die. But he has [decided to] shorten that time because [he is concerned about you] people whom he has chosen [DOU].
21 Og dersom nogen da siger til eder: Se, her er Kristus, eller se der! da tror det ikke.
[At that time people who will] falsely [say that they are] Messiahs and prophets will appear. Then they will perform many kinds (of miracles/of things that ordinary people cannot do) [DOU]. They will even try to deceive [you] people whom God has chosen, [but they will not] be able to do that. So at that time if someone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or [if someone says], ‘Look, he is over there!’ do not believe it!
22 Thi falske Krister og falske Profeter skulle fremstaa og gøre Tegn og Undergerninger for at forføre, om det var muligt, de udvalgte.
23 Men I, vogter eder; jeg har sagt eder alt forud.‟
Be alert! Remember that [I] have warned you about all this before [it happens.]
24 Men i de Dage, efter den Trængsel, skal Solen formørkes, og Maanen ikke give sit Skin,
After the time when people suffer like that, the sun will become dark, the moon will not shine,
25 og Stjernerne skulle falde ned fra Himmelen, og de Kræfter, som ere i Himlene, skulle rystes.
the stars will fall from the sky, and all things in the sky will be shaken {[God will cause] all things in the sky to shake}.
26 Og da skulle de se Menneskesønnen komme i Skyerne med megen Kraft og Herlighed.
Then people will see [me], the one who came from heaven, coming through the clouds powerfully and gloriously.
27 Og da skal han udsende sine Engle og samle sine udvalgte fra de fire Vinde, fra Jordens Ende indtil Himmelens Ende.
Then I will send out my angels in order that they gather together the people whom [God] has chosen from [everywhere, and that includes] all the most remote places on earth [IDM, DOU].
28 Men lærer Lignelsen af Figentræet: Naar dets Gren allerede er bleven blød, og Bladene skyde frem, da skønne I, at Sommeren er nær.
Now I [want you to] learn something from this parable about [the way] fig trees [grow]. [In this area], when their buds become tender and their leaves begin to sprout, you know that summer is near.
29 Saaledes skulle ogsaa I, naar I se disse Ting, skønne, at han er nær for Døren.
Similarly, when you see [what I have just described] happening, you yourselves will know that it is very near [the time for me to return] [MTY]. [It will be as though I am] already at the door [HEN].
30 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, denne Slægt skal ingenlunde forgaa, førend alle disse Ting ere skete.
Keep this in mind: You have observed the things that I have done and said, but all of those events [that I have just told you about] will happen before all of you will die.
31 Himmelen og Jorden skulle forgaa, men mine Ord skulle ingenlunde forgaa.
You can [be certain that] these things [that I have prophesied] will happen. [You can be more certain of that than] you can [be certain that] the earth and what is in the sky will stay in place.
32 Men om den Dag og Time ved ingen, end ikke Englene i Himmelen, heller ikke Sønnen, men alene Faderen.
But no one knows the exact time [when I will return]. The angels in heaven also do not know. Even [I do not know.] Only my Father knows.
33 Ser til, vaager og beder; thi I vide ikke, naar Tiden er der.
So be ready, [like people who are waiting for an important man to come], because you do not know when that time will come [when all these events will happen]!
34 Ligesom en Mand, der drog udenlands, forlod sit Hus og gav sine Tjenere Fuldmagt, hver sin Gerning, og bød Dørvogteren, at han skulde vaage, —
When a man who wants to travel [to a distant place] is [about to] leave his house, he tells his servants that they should manage the house. [He tells] each one what he should do. Then he tells the doorkeeper to be ready [for his return].
35 vaager derfor; thi I vide ikke, naar Husets Herre kommer, enten om Aftenen eller ved Midnat eller ved Hanegal eller om Morgenen;
[That man must always be] ready, [because he does not know whether] his master will return in the evening, at midnight, when the rooster crows, or at dawn. [Similarly], you also must [always] be ready, because you do not know [when I will return].
36 for at han ikke, naar han kommer pludseligt, skal finde eder sovende!
[May it not happen that] when I come suddenly, I will find that you are not ready!
37 Men hvad jeg siger eder, det siger jeg alle: Vaager!‟
These words that I am saying to you [disciples] I am saying to everyone [who believes in me: Always] be ready!” [That is what Jesus warned his disciples].
