Matthæus 10
1 Og han kaldte sine tolv Disciple til sig og gav dem Magt over urene Aander, til at uddrive dem og at helbrede enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
AND having called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease, and every malady.
2 Og disse ere de tolv Apostles Navne: Først Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, og Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder,
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Filip og Bartholomæus, Thomas og Tolderen Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn, og Lebbæus med Tilnavn Thaddæus,
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname is Thaddeus;
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forraadte ham.
Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: „Gaar ikke hen paa Hedningers Vej, og gaar ikke ind i Samaritaners By!
These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not:
6 Men gaar hellere hen til de fortabte Faar af Israels Hus!
but go rather to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.
7 Men paa eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is approaching.
8 Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Aander! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
nor a scrip for the journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor stick: for the workman is worthy of his food.
11 Men hvor I komme ind i en By eller Landsby, der skulle I spørge, hvem i den der er det værd, og der skulle I blive, indtil I drage bort.
And into whatsoever city or village ye enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye depart.
12 Men naar I gaa ind i Huset, da hilser det;
And when ye come into a family, salute it:
13 og dersom Huset er det værd, da komme eders Fred over det; men dersom det ikke er det værd, da vende eders Fred tilbage til eder!
and if the family shall be deserving, your peace shall come upon it: and if it be not deserving, your peace shall return to you.
14 Og dersom nogen ikke modtager eder og ej hører eders Ord, da gaar ud af det Hus eller den By og ryster Støvet af eders Fødder!
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor attend to your discourses, go out of that house, or city, and shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, det skal gaa Sodomas og Gomorras Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end den By.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 Se, jeg sender eder som Faar midt iblandt Ulve; vorder derfor snilde som Slanger og enfoldige som Duer!
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore prudent as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Raadsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
But be on your guard against men: for they will deliver you up to the sanhedrim, and scourge you in their synagogues.
18 Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
And ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the heathen.
19 Men naar de overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvad I skulle tale; thi det skal gives eder i den samme Time, hvad I skulle tale.
But when they shall deliver you up, be under no anxiety what ye shall say; for it shall be given you in that very hour what ye should speak:
20 Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Aand, som taler i eder.
for it is not you who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father which is speaking in you.
21 Men Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn, og Børn skulle sætte sig op imod Forældre og slaa dem ihjel.
Then brother shall surrender brother to death, and the father the son; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld; men den, som holder ud indtil Enden, han skal blive frelst.
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, that man shall be saved.
23 Men naar de forfølge eder i een By, da flyr til en anden; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle ikke komme til Ende med Israels Byer, førend Menneskesønnen kommer.
But when they shall persecute you in one city, flee unto another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not complete your circuit through the cities of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24 En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
The disciple is not superior to his teacher, nor the servant above his master.
25 Det er Discipelen nok, at han bliver som sin Mester, og Tjeneren som sin Herre. Have de kaldet Husbonden Beelzebul, hvor meget mere da hans Husfolk?
It is sufficient if the disciple be as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they have called the master of the family Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 Frygter altsaa ikke for dem; thi intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
However, fear them not: for there is nothing concealed, which shall not be discovered; nor hid, which shall not be known.
27 Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker paa Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!
What I say unto you in the dark, publish in the light: and what ye hear whispered into the ear, proclaim upon the roofs.
28 Og frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel, men ikke kunne slaa Sjælen ihjel; men frygter hellere for ham, som kan fordærve baade Sjæl og Legeme i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
And be not afraid of those who kill the body, and cannot kill the soul: but fear him rather who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Sælges ikke to Spurve for en Penning? Og ikke een af dem falder til Jorden uden eders Faders Villie.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father.
30 Men paa eder ere endog alle Hovedhaar talte.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
Fear not, therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Altsaa, enhver som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa jeg vedkende mig for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
Every one therefore who shall make confession of me before men, of him will I also make confession before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
But whosoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at bringe Fred paa Jorden; jeg er ikke kommen for at bringe Fred, men Sværd.
Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth: I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Thi jeg er kommen for at volde Splid imellem en Mand og hans Fader og imellem en Datter og hendes Moder og imellem en Svigerdatter og hendes Svigermoder,
For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 og en Mands Husfolk skulle være hans Fjender.
And the enemies of a man shall be those of his own house.
37 Den, som elsker Fader eller Moder mere end mig, er mig ikke værd; og den, som elsker Søn eller Datter mere end mig, er mig ikke værd;
He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.
38 og den, som ikke tager sit Kors og følger efter mig, er mig ikke værd.
And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 Den, som bjærger sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, skal bjærge det.
He that preserveth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall preserve it.
40 Den, som modtager eder, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som udsendte mig.
He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 Den, som modtager en Profet, fordi han er en Profet, skal faa en Profets Løn; og den, som modtager en retfærdig, fordi han er en retfærdig, skal faa en retfærdigs Løn.
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man.
42 Og den, som giver en af disse smaa ikkun et Bæger koldt Vand at drikke, fordi han er en Discipel, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal ingenlunde miste sin Løn.‟
And whosoever shall give to one of these little ones, if but a cup of cold water to drink, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
