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 He began to teach again by the sea-side, and there was gathered unto Him a great multitude; so that He went into a ship, and sat on board, and all the people were by the sea, upon the shore.
2 Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
And He taught them many things by similitudes, and said to them in his instruction,
3 „Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
hearken, Behold a sower went out to sow:
4 Og det skete, idet han saaede, at noget faldt ved Vejen, og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
and in sowing, some fell by the way-side, 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.
and some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth, and it sprang up immediately, because it had not depth of earth;
6 Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
but when the sun rose, it was burnt up, and withered because it had no root:
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
and some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it, and it yielded 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 fell on good ground, and yielded fruit springing up and increasing; and produced some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred-fold.
9 Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
And He said unto them, He that hath 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 apart from the multitude, those that were about Him with the twelve asked Him concerning 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 unto them, To you it is granted to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but unto them that are without all things are delivered 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 in seeing they may see and not perceive, and in hearing they may hear and not understand, least they should be converted, and their sins be forgiven them.
13 Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
Then saith He unto them, Do ye not understand this parable? how then will ye understand all my other parables.
14 Sædemanden saar Ordet.
The sower is he that soweth the word. And these are they by the way-side:
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.
where the word is sown; but when they have heard it, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh 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 in like manner, they that are sown as on stony grounds are such, as when they hear the word,
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.
immediately receive it with joy, but have no root in themselves, and so continue but for a short season: and then, when affliction cometh, or persecution on account of the word, they are as soon offended.
18 Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
And those that are sown as among thorns, are these: such as hear the word indeed,
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)
but the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and inordinate desires after other things entering in choke the word, and so it becometh 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 who are like seed sown on good ground: such as hear the word, and receive it; and bring forth fruit, some thirty-fold, and some sixty, and some an 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 unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or a bed, and not to be set on a candlestick?
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 hidden, which may not be revealed; nor was there any thing concealed, but in order to become manifest.
23 Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
If any one hath 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 mind what ye hear: for with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you; and more shall be imparted to you that are observant:
25 Thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.‟
for whosoever hath, to him more shall be given; and he that hath not, even what he hath, or seemeth to have, 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, The kingdom of God is 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 sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring up, and increase; he knows not how.
28 Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
For the earth produces fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full corn 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, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest is 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 compare the kingdom of God, or by what similitude shall we represent it?
31 Det er som et Sennepskorn, som, naar det saas i Jorden, er mindre end alt andet Frø paa Jorden,
It is like to a grain of mustard-seed, which when it is sown in the ground, is one of the lest of all the seeds on the earth:
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.‟
but after it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all herbs, and produces large branches, so that the birds of the air may lodge under it's shadow.
33 Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
And in many such parables spake He the word to them, as they had ability to hear it: but spake not to them without a parable.
34 Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
And He explained all to his disciples in private.
35 Og paa den Dag, da det var blevet Aften, siger han til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side!‟
And the same day, in the evening, He saith to them, Let us go over 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.
So they dismissed the multitude, and took Him as He was in the ship. But there were other small vessels likewise 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 beat into the ship, so that it was now almost 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 stern asleep on a pillow: and they awake Him, and say unto Him, Master, art thou under no concern that we are perishing?
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 rose and rebuked the wind, and said unto 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 unto them, Why are ye so fearful? 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 were exceedingly afraid, and said to one another, Who is this? that even the wind and the sea obey Him?
