Markus 4
1 Og han begyndte atter at lære ved Søen. Og en meget stor Skare samles om ham, saa at han maatte gaa om Bord og sætte sig i et Skib paa Søen; og hele Skaren var paa Land ved Søen.
And again he began to teach by the sea. And a great multitude was gathered to him, so as for him, after entering into the boat, to sit on the sea, and all the multitude was by the sea on the land.
2 Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
And he taught them many things in parables, and said to them in his teaching,
3 „Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
Listen. Behold, the man who sows went forth to sow.
4 Og det skete, idet han saaede, at noget faldt ved Vejen, og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
And it came to pass during the sowing, some fell by the path, and the birds came and devoured it.
5 Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
And others fell on the rocky ground where it had not much soil. And straightaway it sprang up, because it had no depth of soil.
6 Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
And when the sun was risen it was scorched, and because it had no root it dried out.
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
And others fell among the thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it gave no fruit.
8 Og noget faldt i god Jord og bar Frugt, som skød frem og voksede, og det bar tredive og tresindstyve og hundrede Fold.”
And others fell into the good ground and gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and brought forth, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
9 Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
And he said, He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
10 Og da han blev ene, spurgte de, som vare om ham, tillige med de tolv ham om Lignelserne.
And when he became alone, those around him, with the twelve, asked him the parable.
11 Og han sagde til dem: „Eder er Guds Riges Hemmelighed givet; men dem, som ere udenfor, meddeles alt ved Lignelser,
And he said to them, To you is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but to those outside, all things occur in parables.
12 for at de, skønt seende, skulle se og ikke indse og, skønt hørende, skulle høre og ikke forstaa, for at de ikke skulle omvende sig og faa Forladelse.”
So that seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand, lest they should turn, and the sins would be forgiven them.
13 Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
And he says to them, Do ye not know this parable? And how will ye understand all the parables?
14 Sædemanden saar Ordet.
The man who sows sows the word.
15 Men de ved Vejen, det er dem, hvor Ordet bliver saaet, og naar de høre det, kommer straks Satan og borttager Ordet, som er saaet i dem.
And these are those by the path where the word is sown. And whenever they may hear, straightaway Satan comes, and takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.
16 Og ligeledes de, som blive saaede paa Stengrunden, det er dem, som, naar de høre Ordet, straks modtage det med Glæde;
And these in like manner are those being sown upon the rocky places, who, whenever they may hear the word, straightaway receive it with joy.
17 og de have ikke Rod i sig, men holde kun ud til en Tid; derefter, naar der kommer Trængsel eller Forfølgelse for Ordets Skyld, forarges de straks.
And they have no root in themselves, but are temporary. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution develops because of the word, straightaway they are caused to stumble.
18 Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
And these are those being sown in the thorns, who hear the word,
19 og denne Verdens Bekymringer og Rigdommens Forførelse og Begæringerne efter de andre Ting komme ind og kvæle Ordet, saa det bliver uden Frugt. (aiōn g165)
and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of wealth, and the cravings about other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
20 Og de, der bleve saaede i god Jord, det er dem, som høre Ordet og modtage det og bære Frugt, tredive og tresindstyve og hundrede Fold.”
And these are those that were sown upon the good ground, who hear the word and receive it, and bear fruit, one thirty, and one sixty, and one a hundred.
21 Og han sagde til dem: „Mon Lyset kommer ind for at sættes under Skæppen eller under Bænken? Mon ikke for at sættes paa Lysestagen?
And he said to them, Does the lamp come so that it might be put under the bushel or under the bed? Is it not so that it might be put on the lampstand?
22 Thi ikke er noget skjult uden for at aabenbares; ej heller er det blevet lønligt uden for at komme for Lyset.
For there is not anything hid, except that it may be revealed, nor become secret, but that it may come to be visible.
23 Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.
24 Og han sagde til dem: „Agter paa, hvad I høre! Med hvad Maal I maale, skal der tilmaales eder, og der skal gives eder end mere.
And he said to them, Watch what ye hear. By what measure ye measure, it will be measured to you, and to those who hear, it will be added to you.
25 Thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.”
For whoever has, to him it will be given. And he who has not, even what he has will be taken away from him.
26 Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
And he said, Thus is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground,
27 og sover og staar op Nat og Dag, og Sæden spirer og bliver høj, han ved ej selv hvorledes.
and should sleep and rise night and day, and the seed should sprout and lengthen, he knows not how.
28 Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
For the earth bears fruit spontaneously, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
29 men naar Frugten er tjenlig, sender han straks Seglen ud; thi Høsten er for Haanden.”
But when the fruit yields, straightaway he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.
30 Og han sagde: „Hvormed skulle vi ligne Guds Rige, eller under hvilken Lignelse skulle vi fremstille det?
And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or by what parable shall we compare it?
31 Det er som et Sennepskorn, som, naar det saas i Jorden, er mindre end alt andet Frø paa Jorden,
It is like a grain of the mustard plant, which, when it is sown in the ground, is smaller than all the seeds upon the ground.
32 og naar det er saaet, vokser det op og bliver større end alle Urterne og skyder store Grene, saa at Himmelens Fugle kunne bygge Rede i dets Skygge.”
Yet when it is sown, it goes up and becomes greater than all the plants, and it makes great branches, so that the birds of the sky can lodge under the shade of it.
33 Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
And with many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it.
34 Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
And he did not speak to them apart from a parable, but privately he explained all things to his disciples.
35 Og paa den Dag, da det var blevet Aften, siger han til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side!”
And on that day, having become evening, he says to them, Let us pass through to the other side.
36 Og de forlade Folkeskaren og tage ham med, som han sad i Skibet; men der var ogsaa andre Skibe med ham.
And having sent the multitude away, they bring him along as he was in the boat. And other small boats were also with him.
37 Og der kommer en stærk Stormvind, og Bølgerne sloge ind i Skibet, saa at Skibet allerede var ved at fyldes.
And a great storm of wind develops, and the waves were thrown into the boat, so as for it now to be filling.
38 Og han var i Bagstavnen og sov paa en Hovedpude, og de vække ham og sige til ham: „Mester! bryder du dig ikke om, at vi forgaa?”
And he himself was in the stern sleeping on the cushion. And they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, does it not concern thee that we perish?
39 Og han stod op og truede Vinden og sagde til Søen: „Ti, vær stille!” og Vinden lagde sig, og det blev ganske blikstille.
And having awaken, he rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, Be quiet! Silence! And the wind ceased, and it became a great calm.
40 Og han sagde til dem: „Hvorfor ere I saa bange? Hvorfor have I ikke Tro?”
And he said to them, Why are ye cowardly this way? How have ye no faith?
41 Og de frygtede saare og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden baade Vinden og Søen ere ham lydige?”
And they feared a great fear, and said to each other, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea also obey him?
