Matthæus 12
1 Paa den Tid vandrede Jesus paa Sabbaten igennem en Sædemark; men hans Disciple bleve hungrige og begyndte at plukke Aks og at spise.
About that time Jesus passed on the Sabbath through the wheatfields; and His disciples became hungry, and began to gather ears of wheat and eat them.
2 Men da Farisæerne saa det, sagde de til ham: „Se, dine Disciple gøre, hvad det ikke er tilladt at gøre paa en Sabbat.‟
But the Pharisees saw it and said to Him, "Look! your disciples are doing what the Law forbids them to do on the Sabbath."
3 Men han sagde til dem: „Have I ikke læst, hvad David gjorde, da han blev hungrig og de, som vare med ham?
"Have you never read," He replied, "what David did when he and his men were hungry?
4 hvorledes han gik ind i Guds Hus og spiste Skuebrødene, som det ikke var ham tilladt at spise, ej heller dem, som vare med ham, men alene Præsterne?
how he entered the House of God and ate the Presented Loaves, which it was not lawful for him or his men to eat, nor for any except the priests?
5 Eller have I ikke læst i Loven, at paa Sabbaterne vanhellige Præsterne Sabbaten i Helligdommen og ere dog uden Skyld?
And have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath without incurring guilt?
6 Men jeg siger eder, at her er det, som er større end Helligdommen.
But I tell you that there is here that which is greater than the Temple.
7 Men dersom I havde vidst, hvad det Ord betyder: Jeg har Lyst til Barmhjertighed og ikke til Offer, da havde I ikke fordømt dem, som ere uden Skyld.
And if you knew what this means, 'It is mercy I desire, not sacrifice', you would not have condemned those who are without guilt.
8 Thi Menneskesønnen er Herre over Sabbaten.‟
For the Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath."
9 Og han gik videre derfra og kom ind i deres Synagoge.
Departing thence He went to their synagogue,
10 Og se, der var en Mand, som havde en vissen Haand; og de spurgte ham ad og sagde: „Er det tilladt at helbrede paa Sabbaten?‟ for at de kunde anklage ham.
where there was a man with a shrivelled arm. And they questioned Him, "Is it right to cure people on the Sabbath?" Their intention was to bring a charge against Him.
11 Men han sagde til dem: „Hvilket Menneske er der iblandt eder, som har kun eet Faar, og ikke tager fat paa det og drager det op, dersom det paa Sabbaten falder i en Grav?
"Which of you is there," He replied, "who, if he has but a single sheep and it falls into a hole on the Sabbath, will not lay hold of it and lift it out?
12 Hvor meget er nu ikke et Menneske mere end et Faar? Altsaa er det tilladt at gøre vel paa Sabbaten.‟
Is not a man, however, far superior to a sheep? Therefore it is right to do good on the Sabbath."
13 Da siger han til Manden: „Ræk din Haand ud!‟ og han rakte den ud, og den blev igen sund som den anden.
Then He said to the man, "Stretch out your arm." And he stretched it out, and it was restored quite sound like the other.
14 Men Farisæerne gik ud og lagde Raad op imod ham, hvorledes de kunde slaa ham ihjel.
But the Pharisees after leaving the synagogue consulted together against Him, how they might destroy Him.
15 Men da Jesus mærkede det, drog han bort derfra; og mange fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem alle.
Aware of this, Jesus departed elsewhere; and a great number of people followed Him, all of whom He cured.
16 Og han bød dem strengt, at de ikke maatte gøre ham kendt;
But He gave them strict injunctions not to blaze abroad His doings,
17 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
that those words of the Prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled,
18 „Se, min Tjener, som jeg har udvalgt, min elskede, i hvem min Sjæl har Velbehag; jeg vil give min Aand over ham, og han skal forkynde Hedningerne Ret.
"This is My servant whom I have chosen, My dearly loved One in whom My soul takes pleasure. I will put My spirit upon Him, and He will announce justice to the nations.
19 Han skal ikke kives og ikke raabe, og ingen skal høre hans Røst paa Gaderne.
He will not wrangle or raise His voice, nor will His voice be heard in the broadways.
20 Han skal ikke sønderbryde det knækkede Rør og ikke udslukke den rygende Tande, indtil han faar ført Retten frem til Sejr.
A crushed reed He will not utterly break, nor will He quench the still smouldering wick, until He has led on Justice to victory.
21 Og paa hans Navn skulle Hedninger haabe.‟
And on His name shall the nations rest their hopes."
22 Da blev en besat, som var blind og stum, ført til ham; og han helbredte ham, saa at den stumme talte og saa.
At that time a demoniac was brought to Him, blind and dumb; and He cured him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
23 Og alle Skarerne forfærdedes og sagde: „Mon denne skulde være Davids Søn?‟
And the crowds of people were all filled with amazement and said, "Can this be the Son of David?"
24 Men da Farisæerne hørte det, sagde de: „Denne uddriver ikke de onde Aander uden ved Beelzebul, de onde Aanders Fyrste.‟
The Pharisees heard it and said, "This man only expels demons by the power of Baal-zebul, the Prince of demons."
25 Men saasom han kendte deres Tanker, sagde han til dem: „Hvert Rige, som er kommet i Splid med sig selv, lægges øde; og hver By eller Hus, som er kommet i Splid med sig selv, kan ikke bestaa.
Knowing their thoughts He said to them, "Every kingdom in which civil war has raged suffers desolation; and every city or house in which there is internal strife will be brought low.
26 Og hvis Satan uddriver Satan, saa er han kommen i Splid med sig selv; hvorledes skal da hans Rige bestaa?
And if Satan is expelling Satan, he has begun to make war on himself: how therefore shall his kingdom last?
27 Og dersom jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Beelzebul, ved hvem uddrive da eders Sønner dem? Derfor skulle de være eders Dommere.
And if it is by Baal-zebul's power that I expel the demons, by whose power do your disciples expel them? They therefore shall be your judges.
28 Men dersom jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Guds Aand, da er jo Guds Rige kommet til eder.
But if it is by the power of the Spirit of God that I expel the demons, it is evident that the Kingdom of God has come upon you.
29 Eller hvorledes kan nogen gaa ind i den stærkes Hus og røve hans Ejendele, uden han først binder den stærke? Da kan han plyndre hans Hus.
Again, how can any one enter the house of a strong man and carry off his goods, unless first of all he masters and secures the strong man: then he will ransack his house.
30 Den, som ikke er med mig, er imod mig; og den, som ikke samler med mig, adspreder.
"The man who is not with me is against me, and he who is not gathering with me is scattering abroad.
31 Derfor siger jeg eder: Al Synd og Bespottelse skal forlades Menneskene, men Bespottelsen imod Aanden skal ikke forlades.
This is why I tell you that men may find forgiveness for every other sin and impious word, but that for impious speaking against the Holy Spirit they shall find no forgiveness.
32 Og den, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som taler imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades, hverken i denne Verden eller i den kommende. (aiōn g165)
And whoever shall speak against the Son of Man may obtain forgiveness; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, neither in this nor in the coming age shall he obtain forgiveness." (aiōn g165)
33 Lader enten Træet være godt og dets Frugt god; eller lader Træet være raaddent, og dets Frugt raadden; thi Træet kendes paa Frugten.
"Either grant the tree to be wholesome and its fruit wholesome, or the tree poisonous and its fruit poisonous; for the tree is known by its fruit.
34 I Øgleunger! hvorledes kunne I tale godt, naar I ere onde? Thi af Hjertets Overflødighed taler Munden.
O vipers' brood, how can you speak what is good when you are evil? For it is from the overflow of the heart that the mouth speaks.
35 Et godt Menneske fremtager gode Ting af sit gode Forraad; og et ondt Menneske fremtager onde Ting af sit onde Forraad.
A good man from his good store produces good things, and a bad man from his bad store produces bad things.
36 Men jeg siger eder, at Menneskene skulle gøre Regnskab paa Dommens Dag for hvert utilbørligt Ord, som de tale.
But I tell you that for every careless word that men shall speak they will be held accountable on the day of Judgement.
37 Thi af dine Ord skal du retfærdiggøres, og af dine Ord skal du fordømmes.‟
For each of you by his words shall be justified, or by his words shall be condemned."
38 Da svarede nogle af de skriftkloge og Farisæerne ham og sagde: „Mester! vi ønske at se et Tegn af dig.‟
Then He was accosted by some of the Scribes and of the Pharisees who said, "Teacher, we wish to see a sign given by you."
39 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „En ond og utro Slægt forlanger Tegn, men der skal intet Tegn gives den uden Profeten Jonas's Tegn.
"Wicked and faithless generation!" He replied, "they clamour for a sign, but none shall be given to them except the sign of the Prophet Jonah.
40 Thi ligesom Jonas var tre Dage og tre Nætter i Havdyrets Bug, saaledes skal Menneskesønnen være tre Dage og tre Nætter i Jordens Skød.
For just as Jonah was three days in the sea-monster's belly, so will the Son of Man be three days in the heart of the earth.
41 Mænd fra Ninive skulle opstaa ved Dommen sammen med denne Slægt og fordømme den; thi de omvendte sig ved Jonas's Prædiken; og se, her er mere end Jonas.
There will stand up men of Nineveh at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and mark! there is One greater than Jonah here.
42 Sydens Dronning skal oprejses ved Dommen sammen med denne Slægt og fordømme den; thi hun kom fra Jordens Grænser for at høre Salomons Visdom; og se, her er mere end Salomon.
The Queen of the south will awake at the Judgement together with the present generation, and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and mark! there is One greater than Solomon here.
43 Men naar den urene Aand er faren ud af Mennesket, vandrer den igennem vandløse Steder, søger Hvile og finder den ikke.
"No sooner however has the foul spirit gone out of the man, then he roams about in places where there is no water, seeking rest but finding none.
44 Da siger den: Jeg vil vende om til mit Hus, som jeg gik ud af; og naar den kommer, finder den det ledigt, fejet og prydet.
Then he says, 'I will return to my house that I left;' and he comes and finds it unoccupied, swept clean, and in good order.
45 Saa gaar den hen og tager syv andre Aander med sig, som ere værre end den selv, og naar de ere komne derind, bo de der; og det sidste bliver værre med dette Menneske end det første. Saaledes skal det ogsaa gaa denne onde Slægt.‟
Then he goes and brings back with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they come in and dwell there; and in the end that man's condition becomes worse than it was at first. So will it be also with the present wicked generation."
46 Medens han endnu talte til Skarerne, se, da stode hans Moder og hans Brødre udenfor og begærede at tale med ham.
While He was still addressing the people His mother and His brothers were standing on the edge of the crowd desiring to speak to Him.
47 Da sagde en til ham: „Se, din Moder og dine Brødre staa udenfor og begære at tale med dig.‟
So some one told Him, "Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and desire to speak to you."
48 Men han svarede og sagde til den, som sagde ham det: „Hvem er min Moder? og hvem ere mine Brødre?‟
"Who is my mother?" He said to the man; "and who are my brothers?"
49 Og han rakte sin Haand ud over sine Disciple og sagde: „Se, her er min Moder og mine Brødre!
And pointing to His disciples He added, "See here are my mother and my brothers.
50 Thi enhver, der gør min Faders Villie, som er i Himlene, han er min Broder og Søster og Moder.‟
To obey my Father who is in Heaven--that is to be my brother and my sister and my mother."
