Markus 7
1 Og Farisæerne og nogle af de skriftkloge, som vare komne fra Jerusalem, samle sig om ham.
One day the Pharisees and some of the Teachers of the Law who had come from Jerusalem gathered round Jesus.
2 Og da de saa nogle af hans Disciple holde Maaltid med vanhellige, det er utoede, Hænder
They had noticed that some of his disciples ate their food with their hands ‘defiled,’ by which they meant unwashed.
3 (thi Farisæerne og alle Jøderne spise ikke uden at to Hænderne omhyggeligt, idet de fastholde de gamles Overlevering;
(For the Pharisees, and indeed all strict Jews, will not eat without first scrupulously washing their hands, holding in this to the traditions of their ancestors.
4 og naar de komme fra Torvet, spise de ikke uden først at tvætte sig; og der er mange andre Ting, som de have vedtaget at holde, Tvætninger af Bægere og Krus og Kobberkar og Bænke),
When they come from market, they will not eat without first sprinkling themselves; and there are many other customs which they have inherited and hold to, such as the ceremonial washing of cups, and jugs, and copper pans).
5 saa spurgte Farisæerne og de skriftkloge ham ad: „Hvorfor vandre dine Disciple ikke efter de gamles Overlevering, men holde Maaltid med vanhellige Hænder?‟
So the Pharisees and the Teachers of the Law asked Jesus this question — “How is it that your disciples do not follow the traditions of our ancestors, but eat their food with defiled hands?”
6 Men han sagde til dem: „Rettelig profeterede Esajas om eder, I Hyklere! som der er skrevet: „Dette Folk ærer mig med Læberne, men deres Hjerte er langt borte fra mig.
His answer was: “It was well said by Isaiah when he prophesied about you hypocrites in the words — ‘This is a people that honour me with their lips, while their hearts are far removed from me;
7 Men de dyrke mig forgæves, idet de lære Lærdomme, som ere Menneskers Bud.‟
but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but the precepts of men.’
8 I forlade Guds Bud og holde Menneskers Overlevering.‟
You neglect God’s commandments and hold to the traditions of men.
9 Og han sagde til dem: „Smukt ophæve I Guds Bud, for at I kunne holde eders Overlevering.
Wisely do you set aside God’s commandments,” he exclaimed, “to keep your own traditions!
10 Thi Moses har sagt: „Ær din Fader og din Moder‟; og: „Den, som bander Fader eller Moder, skal visselig dø.‟
For while Moses said ‘Honour thy father and thy mother,’ and ‘Let him who reviles his father or mother suffer death,’
11 Men I sige: Naar en Mand siger til sin Fader eller sin Moder: „Det, hvormed du skulde være hjulpen af mig, skal være Korban (det er: Tempelgave), ‟
you say ‘If a man says to his father or mother “Whatever of mine might have been of service to you is Korban”’ (which means ‘Given to God’) —
12 da tilstede I ham ikke mere at gøre noget for sin Fader eller Moder,
why, then you do not allow him to do anything further for his father or mother!
13 idet I ophæve Guds Ord ved eders Overlevering, som I have overleveret; og mange lignende Ting gøre I.‟
In this way you nullify the words of God by your traditions, which you hand down; and you do many similar things.”
14 Og han kaldte atter Folkeskaren til sig og sagde til dem: „Hører mig alle, og forstaar!
Then Jesus called the people to him again, and said: “Listen to me, all of you, and mark my words.
15 Der er intet uden for Mennesket, som, naar det gaar ind i ham, kan gøre ham uren; men hvad der gaar ud af Mennesket, det er det, som gør Mennesket urent.
There is nothing external to a man, which by going into him can ‘defile’ him; but the things that come out from a man are the things that defile him.”
16 [Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟]
17 Og da han var gaaet ind i Huset og var borte fra Skaren, spurgte hans Disciple ham om Lignelsen.
When Jesus went indoors, away from the crowd, his disciples began questioning him about this saying.
18 Og han siger til dem: „Ere ogsaa I saa uforstandige? Forstaa I ikke, at intet, som udenfra gaar ind i Mennesket, kan gøre ham uren?
“What, do even you understand so little?” exclaimed Jesus. “Do not you see that there is nothing external to a man, which by going into a man, can ‘defile’ him,
19 Thi det gaar ikke ind i hans Hjerte, men i hans Bug og gaar ud ad den naturlige Vej, og saaledes renses al Maden.‟
because it does not pass into his heart, but into his stomach, and is afterwards got rid of? — in saying this Jesus pronounced all food ‘clean.’
20 Men han sagde: „Det, som gaar ud af Mennesket, dette gør Mennesket urent.
“It is what comes out from a man,” he added, “that defiles him,
21 Thi indvortes fra, fra Menneskenes Hjerte, udgaa de onde Tanker, Utugt, Tyveri, Mord,
for it is from within, out of the hearts of men, that there come evil thoughts — unchastity, theft, murder, adultery,
22 Hor, Havesyge, Ondskab, Svig, Uterlighed, et ondt Øje, Forhaanelse, Hovmod, Fremfusenhed;
greed, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, haughtiness, folly;
23 alle disse onde Ting udgaa indvortesfra og gøre Mennesket urent.‟
all these wicked things come from within, and do defile a man.”
24 Og han stod op og gik bort derfra til Tyrus's og Sidons Egne. Og han gik ind i et Hus og vilde ikke, at nogen skulde vide det. Og han kunde dog ikke være skjult;
On leaving that place, Jesus went to the district of Tyre and Sidon. And he went into a house, and did not wish anyone to know it, but could not escape notice.
25 men en Kvinde, hvis lille Datter havde en uren Aand, havde hørt om ham og kom straks ind og faldt ned for hans Fødder;
For a woman, whose little daughter had a foul spirit in her, heard of him immediately, and came and threw herself at his feet —
26 (men Kvinden var græsk, af Herkomst en Syrofønikerinde, ) og hun bad ham om, at han vilde uddrive den onde Aand af hendes Datter.
the woman was a foreigner, a native of Syrian Phoenicia — and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter.
27 Og han sagde til hende: „Lad først Børnene mættes; thi det er ikke smukt at tage Børnenes Brød og kaste det for de smaa Hunde.‟
“Let the children be satisfied first,” answered Jesus. “For it is not fair to take the children’s food, and throw it to dogs.”
28 Men hun svarede og siger til ham: „Jo, Herre! ogsaa de smaa Hunde æde under Bordet af Børnenes Smuler.‟
“Yes, Master,” she replied; “even the dogs under the table do feed on the children’s crumbs.”
29 Og han sagde til hende: „For dette Ords Skyld gaa bort; den onde Aand er udfaren af din Datter.‟
“For saying that,” he answered, “you may go. The demon has gone out of your daughter.”
30 Og hun gik bort til sit Hus og fandt Barnet liggende paa Sengen og den onde Aand udfaren.
The woman went home, and found the child lying on her bed, and the demon gone.
31 Og da han gik bort igen fra Tyrus's Egne, kom han over Sidon midt igennem Dekapolis's Egne til Galilæas Sø.
On returning from the district of Tyre, Jesus went, by way of Sidon, to the Sea of Galilee, across the district of the Ten Towns.
32 Og de bringe ham en døv, som ogsaa vanskeligt kunde tale, og bede ham om, at han vilde lægge Haanden paa ham.
Some people brought to him a man who was deaf and almost dumb, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.
33 Og han tog ham afsides fra Skaren og lagde sine Fingre i hans Øren og spyttede og rørte ved hans Tunge
Jesus took him aside from the crowd quietly, put his fingers into the man’s ears, and touched his tongue with saliva.
34 og saa op til Himmelen, sukkede og sagde til ham: „Effata!‟ det er: lad dig op!
Then, looking up to Heaven, he sighed, and said to the man: “Ephphatha!” which means ‘Be opened.’
35 Og hans Øren aabnedes, og straks løstes hans Tunges Baand, og han talte ret.
The man’s ears were opened, the string of his tongue was freed, and he began to talk plainly.
36 Og han bød dem, at de ikke maatte sige det til nogen; men jo mere han bød dem, desto mere kundgjorde de det.
Jesus insisted upon their not telling any one; but the more he insisted, the more perseveringly they made it known,
37 Og de bleve over al Maade slagne af Forundring og sagde: „Han har gjort alle Ting vel; baade gør han, at de døve høre, og at maalløse tale.‟
and a profound impression was made upon the people. “He has done everything well!” they exclaimed. “He makes even the deaf hear and the dumb speak!”
