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 came together to him, so that he went into a ship, and sat in the sea: and the whole multitude was on the land near the sea.
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.
Hear; Behold, the sower 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, as he sowed, that some seed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and ate it up.
5 Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
Other seed fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth: and it immediately sprung up, because it had no depth of earth.
6 Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
And when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
And other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it produced 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 other seed fell in the good ground, and produced fruit that grew up and increased, and produced, one thirty, one sixty, and one a hundred.
9 Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
And he said: He that 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 was alone, those who were about him, with the twelve, asked him the meaning of 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 it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are without, all things are done 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.‟
that they may surely see, and not perceive; and that they may surely hear, and not understand; lest they should turn to me, and their sins should 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 said to them: Do you not understand this parable? And how then will you understand all parables?
14 Sædemanden saar Ordet.
The sower 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.
These are they that received seed by the wayside, where the word is sown; and when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was 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 are they that, in like manner, received seed in stony places: who, when they hear the word, immediately 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 endure for a time; afterward, when affliction or persecution arises on account of the word, they immediately take offense.
18 Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
And these are they that received seed among 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 anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and desires for other things enter in and 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 they that received seed on the good ground; who hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth 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: Is a lamp brought in that it may be put under the measure, or under the divan? Is it not brought that it may be put on the lamp-stand?
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 nothing hid that shall not be made known; nor has any thing been concealed, but that it may come into open view.
23 Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
If any one 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: Take heed how you hear; with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you; and to you that hear, more shall be given;
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 shall be given; and whoever has not, even that which he has shall be taken from him.
26 Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
And he said: So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should sow seed in 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 spring up and grow, he knows not how.
28 Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
For the earth, of its own accord, produces fruit, 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 is ripe, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest is ready.
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 similitude shall we illustrate 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 mustard, which, when it is sown in the ground, is less than all seeds that are in 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 grows up, and becomes larger than all garden-plants, and sends out great branches, so that the birds of the air can roost under its shadow.
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.
34 Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
But without a parable he did not speak to them; but when alone, 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 the same day, when it was evening, he said to them: Let us go over to the opposite side.
36 Og de forlade Folkeskaren og tage ham med, som han sad i Skibet; men der var ogsaa andre Skibe med ham.
And when they had sent the multitude away, they took him with them, as he was in the ship; and there were other little ships with him.
37 Og der kommer en stærk Stormvind, og Bølgerne sloge ind i Skibet, saa at Skibet allerede var ved at fyldes.
And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves dashed into the ship, so that it was now full.
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 was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on the pillow. And they awoke him, and said to him: Teacher, carest thou not 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 he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was 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 you so fearful? How is it that you have 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 were greatly afraid, and said one to another: Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
