< 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 this time as Jesus passed through the cornfields on the sabbath-day, his disciples being hungry began to pluck the ears of corn, and to 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.‟
And when the pharisees saw it they said to Him, See, thy disciples are doing what is not lawful for 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?
But He replied, Have ye not read what David did, when he, and his attendants, were hungry? how he went into the house of God,
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?
and did eat the shew-bread, which it was not lawful for him to eat, nor those that were with him; but for the priests only? or have ye not read in the law,
5 Eller have I ikke læst i Loven, at paa Sabbaterne vanhellige Præsterne Sabbaten i Helligdommen og ere dog uden Skyld?
what profane sort of work the priests do in the temple on the sabbath-days, and yet are blameless?
6 Men jeg siger eder, at her er det, som er større end Helligdommen.
But I tell you, that a greater than the temple is here:
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 ye had known what that scripture means, "I desire mercy rather than sacrifice," ye would not have condemned the guiltless.
8 Thi Menneskesønnen er Herre over Sabbaten.‟
For the Son of man is lord even of the sabbath.
9 Og han gik videre derfra og kom ind i deres Synagoge.
And he went away and came into their synagogue: and there being a man there who had a withered hand,
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.
they asked Him, if it were lawful to heal on the sabbath-days? that they might accuse 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?
But He said unto them, What man of you shall have one of his sheep fall into a pit on the sabbath-day, and 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.‟
And of how much more worth is a man than a sheep? Sure then it is lawful to do good on the sabbath-days.
13 Da siger han til Manden: „Ræk din Haand ud!‟ og han rakte den ud, og den blev igen sund som den anden.
Then saith He to the man, Stretch out thine hand: and he stretched it out, and it was made sound like the other.
14 Men Farisæerne gik ud og lagde Raad op imod ham, hvorledes de kunde slaa ham ihjel.
But the pharisees went out of the synagogue and took counsel 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.
but Jesus knew it, and withdrew from thence; and great multitudes followed Him with their sick,
16 Og han bød dem strengt, at de ikke maatte gøre ham kendt;
and he healed them all, charging them not to make Him known:
17 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Behold my servant whom I have chosen,
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.
my beloved in whom my soul is well pleased: I will put my spirit upon Him, and He shall declare judgement to the nations: He shall not contend,
19 Han skal ikke kives og ikke raabe, og ingen skal høre hans Røst paa Gaderne.
nor cry aloud, nor shall any one hear his voice in the streets:
20 Han skal ikke sønderbryde det knækkede Rør og ikke udslukke den rygende Tande, indtil han faar ført Retten frem til Sejr.
a bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax he will not extinguish, till He send forth judgement victorious.
21 Og paa hans Navn skulle Hedninger haabe.‟
And in his name shall the Gentiles hope.
22 Da blev en besat, som var blind og stum, ført til ham; og han helbredte ham, saa at den stumme talte og saa.
Then was brought to Him a demoniac, who was blind and dumb; and he healed Him, so that the blind and dumb man both spake and saw:
23 Og alle Skarerne forfærdedes og sagde: „Mon denne skulde være Davids Søn?‟
and all the multitudes were amazed, and said, "Is not this 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.‟
which the pharisees hearing, said, "He only casts out demons by the help of Beelzebub the prince of the devils."
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.
But Jesus, who well knew their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself becomes desolate; and no city, or family, divided against itself can stand:
26 Og hvis Satan uddriver Satan, saa er han kommen i Splid med sig selv; hvorledes skal da hans Rige bestaa?
if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?
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 I cast out demons by the power of Beelzebub, by whom do your own people cast them out? wherefore they 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 I by the Spirit of God cast out devils, then certainly the kingdom of God is come unto 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.
Or, how can any one enter into the house of a strong man, and take away his goods, unless he first overpower the strong man? and then indeed he may strip his house.
30 Den, som ikke er med mig, er imod mig; og den, som ikke samler med mig, adspreder.
He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth.
31 Derfor siger jeg eder: Al Synd og Bespottelse skal forlades Menneskene, men Bespottelsen imod Aanden skal ikke forlades.
Wherefore, I tell you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven to men; but the blasphemy against the holy Spirit shall not be forgiven them:
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 if any one speak against the Son of man, it may be forgiven him: but if any one speak against the holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this life, nor in that to come. (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 allow the tree to be good, and it's fruit good; or shew the tree to be corrupt, and it's fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by it's fruit.
34 I Øgleunger! hvorledes kunne I tale godt, naar I ere onde? Thi af Hjertets Overflødighed taler Munden.
O race of vipers, how can ye speak good things, who are yourselves so wicked? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
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 out of the good treasure of the heart produceth good things; and a wicked man out of the wicked treasure uttereth wicked 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 of every idle word, which men shall speak, they shall give an account in the day of judgement; for by thy words thou shalt be justified,
37 Thi af dine Ord skal du retfærdiggøres, og af dine Ord skal du fordømmes.‟
and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
38 Da svarede nogle af de skriftkloge og Farisæerne ham og sagde: „Mester! vi ønske at se et Tegn af dig.‟
Then some of the scribes and pharisees answered Him, saying, Master, we should be glad to see a sign from thee:
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.
but He replied and said unto them, This wicked and degenerate race demand a sign; but no sign shall be given them, except that 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 as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly, so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights 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.
So that the men of Nineveh will rise up in the judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and behold a greater than Jonas is 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 too, shall rise up in the day of judgement against this generation, and condemn it; for she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon, and behold a greater than Solomon is here.
43 Men naar den urene Aand er faren ud af Mennesket, vandrer den igennem vandløse Steder, søger Hvile og finder den ikke.
Now when an impure spirit is gone out of a man, he wanders through dry desert places, seeking rest, and findeth 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 saith he, I will return into my house, that I came out of; and when he cometh, he findeth it empty, swept, and set off to advantage:
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 goeth and taketh with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there; and so the last state of that man is worse than the first. And thus shall it be to this wicked generation.
46 Medens han endnu talte til Skarerne, se, da stode hans Moder og hans Brødre udenfor og begærede at tale med ham.
Now as He was yet discoursing to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, and desired to speak to Him:
47 Da sagde en til ham: „Se, din Moder og dine Brødre staa udenfor og begære at tale med dig.‟
and somebody said to Him, "Here are thy mother and thy brethren standing without, desiring to speak to thee."
48 Men han svarede og sagde til den, som sagde ham det: „Hvem er min Moder? og hvem ere mine Brødre?‟
But in answer to him that told Him, He said, "Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?"
49 Og han rakte sin Haand ud over sine Disciple og sagde: „Se, her er min Moder og mine Brødre!
and stretching out his hand towards his disciples, He said, "Behold my mother and my brethren:"
50 Thi enhver, der gør min Faders Villie, som er i Himlene, han er min Broder og Søster og Moder.‟
for whosoever doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is to me as my brother and sister and mother.
