Matthæus 13
1 Paa hin Dag gik Jesus ud af Huset og satte sig ved Søen.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the seaside.
2 Og store Skarer samlede sig om ham, saa han gik om Bord i et Skib og satte sig; og hele Skaren stod paa Strandbredden.
Great multitudes gathered to him, so that he entered into a boat and sat; and all the multitude stood on the beach.
3 Og han talte meget til dem i Lignelser og sagde: „Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
He spoke to them many things in parables, saying, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow.
4 Og idet han saaede, faldt noget ved Vejen; og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
As he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
Others fell on rocky ground, where they didn’t have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of earth.
6 Men da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
When the sun had risen, they were scorched. Because they had no root, they withered away.
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne; og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det.
Others fell amongst thorns. The thorns grew up and choked them.
8 Og noget faldt i god Jord og bar Frugt, noget hundrede, noget tresindstyve, noget tredive Fold.
Others fell on good soil and yielded fruit: some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Den, som har Øren, han høre!‟
He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
10 Og Disciplene gik hen og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor taler du til dem i Lignelser?‟
The disciples came, and said to him, “Why do you speak to them in parables?”
11 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Fordi det er eder givet at kende Himmeriges Riges Hemmeligheder; men dem er det ikke givet.
He answered them, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.
12 Thi den, som har, ham skal der gives, og han skal faa Overflod; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.
13 Derfor taler jeg til dem i Lignelser, fordi de skønt seende dog ikke se, og hørende dog ikke høre og forstaa ikke heller.
Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.
14 Og paa dem opfyldes Esajas Profeti, som siger: Med eders Øren skulle I høre og dog ikke forstaa og se med eders Øjne og dog ikke se.
In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says, ‘By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive;
15 Thi dette Folks Hjerte er blevet sløvet, og med Ørene høre de tungt, og deres Øjne have de tillukket, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og høre med Ørene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.
for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, and they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again, and I would heal them.’
16 Men salige ere eders Øjne, fordi de se, og eders Øren, fordi de høre.
“But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, mange Profeter og retfærdige attraaede at se, hvad I se, og saa det ikke; og at høre, hvad I høre, og hørte det ikke.
For most certainly I tell you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which you see, and didn’t see them; and to hear the things which you hear, and didn’t hear them.
18 Saa hører nu I Lignelsen om Sædemanden!
“Hear, then, the parable of the farmer.
19 Naar nogen hører Rigets Ord og ikke forstaar det, da kommer den Onde og river det bort, som er saaet i hans Hjerte; denne er det, som blev saaet ved Vejen.
When anyone hears the word of the Kingdom and doesn’t understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away that which has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown by the roadside.
20 Men det, som blev saaet paa Stengrund, er den, som hører Ordet og straks modtager det med Glæde.
What was sown on the rocky places, this is he who hears the word and immediately with joy receives it;
21 Men han har ikke Rod i sig og holder kun ud til en Tid; men naar der kommer Trængsel eller Forfølgelse for Ordets Skyld, forarges han straks.
yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.
22 Men det, som blev saaet iblandt Torne, er den, som hører Ordet, og Verdens Bekymring og Rigdommens Forførelse kvæler Ordet, og det bliver uden Frugt. (aiōn g165)
What was sown amongst the thorns, this is he who hears the word, but the cares of this age and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Men det, som blev saaet i god Jord, er den, som hører Ordet og forstaar det, og som saa bærer Frugt, en hundrede, en tresindstyve, en tredive Fold.‟
What was sown on the good ground, this is he who hears the word and understands it, who most certainly bears fruit and produces, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.”
24 En anden Lignelse fremsatte han for dem og sagde: „Himmeriges Rige lignes ved et Menneske, som saaede god Sæd i sin Mark.
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field,
25 Men medens Folkene sov, kom hans Fjende og saaede Ugræs iblandt Hveden og gik bort.
but while people slept, his enemy came and sowed darnel weeds also amongst the wheat, and went away.
26 Men da Sæden spirede frem og bar Frugt, da kom ogsaa Ugræsset til Syne.
But when the blade sprang up and produced grain, then the darnel weeds appeared also.
27 Og Husbondens Tjenere kom til ham og sagde: Herre, saaede du ikke god Sæd i din Mark? Hvor har den da faaet Ugræsset fra?
The servants of the householder came and said to him, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where did these darnel weeds come from?’
28 Men han sagde til dem: Det har et fjendsk Menneske gjort. Da sige Tjenerne til ham: Vil du da, at vi skulle gaa hen og sanke det sammen?
“He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and gather them up?’
29 Men han siger: Nej, for at I ikke, naar I sanke Ugræsset sammen, skulle rykke Hveden op tillige med det.
“But he said, ‘No, lest perhaps while you gather up the darnel weeds, you root up the wheat with them.
30 Lader dem begge vokse tilsammen indtil Høsten; og i Høstens Tid vil jeg sige til Høstfolkene: Sanker først Ugræsset sammen og binder det i Knipper for at brænde det, men samler Hveden i min Lade!‟
Let both grow together until the harvest, and in the harvest time I will tell the reapers, “First, gather up the darnel weeds, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn.”’”
31 En anden Lignelse fremsatte han for dem og sagde: „Himmeriges Rige ligner et Sennepskorn, som en Mand tog og saaede i sin Mark.
He set another parable before them, saying, “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took, and sowed in his field,
32 Dette er vel mindre end alt andet Frø; men naar det er vokset op, er det større end Urterne og bliver et Træ, saa at Himmelens Fugle komme og bygge Rede i dets Grene.‟
which indeed is smaller than all seeds. But when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in its branches.”
33 En anden Lignelse talede han til dem: „Himmeriges Rige ligner en Surdejg, som en Kvinde tog og lagde ned i tre Maal Mel, indtil det blev syret alt sammen.‟
He spoke another parable to them. “The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, until it was all leavened.”
34 Alt dette talte Jesus til Skarerne i Lignelser, og uden Lignelse talte han intet til dem,
Jesus spoke all these things in parables to the multitudes; and without a parable, he didn’t speak to them,
35 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten, der siger: „Jeg vil oplade min Mund i Lignelser; jeg vil udsige det, som har været skjult fra Verdens Grundlæggelse.‟
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying, “I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Da forlod han Skarerne og gik ind i Huset; og hans Disciple kom til ham og sagde: „Forklar os Lignelsen om Ugræsset paa Marken!‟
Then Jesus sent the multitudes away, and went into the house. His disciples came to him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the darnel weeds of the field.”
37 Men han svarede og sagde: „Den, som saar den gode Sæd, er Menneskesønnen,
He answered them, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man,
38 og Marken er Verden, og den gode Sæd er Rigets Børn, men Ugræsset er den Ondes Børn,
the field is the world, the good seeds are the children of the Kingdom, and the darnel weeds are the children of the evil one.
39 og Fjenden, som saaede det, er Djævelen; og Høsten er Verdens Ende; og Høstfolkene ere Engle. (aiōn g165)
The enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Ligesom nu Ugræsset sankes sammen og opbrændes med Ild, saaledes skal det ske ved Verdens Ende. (aiōn g165)
As therefore the darnel weeds are gathered up and burnt with fire; so will it be at the end of this age. (aiōn g165)
41 Menneskesønnen skal udsende sine Engle, og de skulle sanke ud af hans Rige alle Forargelserne og dem, som gøre Uret;
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his Kingdom all things that cause stumbling and those who do iniquity,
42 og de skulle kaste dem i Ildovnen; der skal være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
43 Da skulle de retfærdige skinne som Solen i deres Faders Rige. Den, som har Øren, han høre!
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
44 Himmeriges Rige ligner en Skat, som er skjult i en Mark, og en Mand fandt og skjulte den, og af Glæde over den gaar han hen og sælger alt, hvad han har, og køber den Mark.
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like treasure hidden in the field, which a man found and hid. In his joy, he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.
45 Atter ligner Himmeriges Rige en Købmand, som søgte efter skønne Perler;
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a merchant seeking fine pearls,
46 og da han fandt een meget kostbar Perle, gik han hen og solgte alt, hvad han havde, og købte den.
who having found one pearl of great price, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.
47 Atter ligner Himmeriges Rige et Vod, som blev kastet i Havet og samlede Fisk af alle Slags.
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a dragnet that was cast into the sea and gathered some fish of every kind,
48 Og da det var blevet fuldt, drog man det op paa Strandbredden og satte sig og sankede de gode sammen i Kar, men kastede de raadne ud.
which, when it was filled, fishermen drew up on the beach. They sat down and gathered the good into containers, but the bad they threw away.
49 Saaledes skal det gaa til ved Verdens Ende. Englene skulle gaa ud og skille de onde fra de retfærdige (aiōn g165)
So it will be in the end of the world. The angels will come and separate the wicked from amongst the righteous, (aiōn g165)
50 og kaste dem i Ildovnen; der skal være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.
and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
51 Have I forstaaet alt dette?‟ De sige til ham: „Ja.‟
Jesus said to them, “Have you understood all these things?” They answered him, “Yes, Lord.”
52 Men han sagde til dem: „Derfor er hver skriftklog, som er oplært for Himmeriges Rige, ligesom en Husbond, der tager nyt og gammelt frem af sit Forraad.‟
He said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has been made a disciple in the Kingdom of Heaven is like a man who is a householder, who brings out of his treasure new and old things.”
53 Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Lignelser, drog han bort derfra.
When Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from there.
54 Og han kom til sin Fædreneby og lærte dem i deres Synagoge, saa at de bleve slagne af Forundring og sagde: „Hvorfra har han denne Visdom og de kraftige Gerninger?
Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom and these mighty works?
55 Er denne ikke Tømmermandens Søn? Hedder ikke hans Moder Maria og hans Brødre Jakob og Josef og Simon og Judas?
Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t his mother called Mary, and his brothers James, Joses, Simon, and Judas?
56 Og hans Søstre, ere de ikke alle hos os? Hvorfra har han da alt dette?‟
Aren’t all of his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all of these things?”
57 Og de forargedes paa ham. Men Jesus sagde til dem: „En Profet er ikke foragtet uden i sit eget Fædreland og i sit Hus.‟
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honour, except in his own country and in his own house.”
58 Og han gjorde ikke mange kraftige Gerninger der for deres Vantros Skyld.
He didn’t do many mighty works there because of their unbelief.
