Matthæus 14
1 Paa den Tid hørte Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes Rygtet om Jesus.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus;
2 Og han sagde til sine Tjenere: „Det er Johannes Døberen; han er oprejst fra de døde, derfor virke Kræfterne i ham.‟
and he said to his servants: This is John The Immerser; he has risen from the dead; and for this reason the powers of the spiritual world are active within him.
3 Thi Herodes havde grebet Johannes og bundet ham og sat ham i Fængsel for sin Broder Filips Hustru, Herodias's Skyld.
For Herod had laid hold of John, and bound him, and put him in prison on account of Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip.
4 Johannes sagde nemlig til ham: „Det er dig ikke tilladt at have hende.‟
For John said to him: It is not lawful for you to have her.
5 Og han vilde gerne slaa ham ihjel, men frygtede for Mængden, thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
And he intended to put him to death, but feared the multitude, because they regarded him as a prophet.
6 Men da Herodes's Fødselsdag kom, dansede Herodias's Datter for dem; og hun behagede Herodes.
But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced in the midst, and pleased Herod.
7 Derfor lovede han med en Ed at give hende, hvad som helst hun begærede.
Wherefore he promised, with an oath, to give her whatever she would ask.
8 Og tilskyndet af sin Moder siger hun: „Giv mig Johannes Døberens Hoved hid paa et Fad!‟
And being previously instigated by her mother, she said: Give me here in a dish the head of John the Immerser?
9 Og Kongen blev bedrøvet; men for sine Eders og for Gæsternes Skyld befalede han, at det skulde gives hende.
And the king was grieved: but on account of his oath, and those who reclined at table with him, he commanded it to be given.
10 Og han sendte Bud og lod Johannes halshugge i Fængselet.
And he sent and beheaded John in the prison.
11 Og hans Hoved blev bragt paa et Fad og givet Pigen, og hun bragte det til sin Moder.
And his head was brought in a dish, and given to the maiden: and she carried it to her mother.
12 Da kom hans Disciple og toge Liget og begravede ham, og de kom og forkyndte Jesus det.
And his disciples came and took away the body, and buried it; and went and told Jesus.
13 Og da Jesus hørte det, drog han bort derfra i et Skib til et øde Sted afsides; og da Skarerne hørte det, fulgte de ham til Fods fra Byerne.
And when Jesus heard of it, he withdrew from that place, by ship, into a desert place apart: and the multitudes, when they heard of his departure, followed him, on foot, from the cities.
14 Og da han kom i Land, saa han en stor Skare, og han ynkedes inderligt over dem og helbredte deres syge.
And when Jesus came out, he saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion for them, and cured their sick.
15 Men da det blev Aften, kom Disciplene til ham og sagde: „Stedet er øde, og Tiden er allerede forløben; lad Skarerne gaa bort, for at de kunne gaa hen i Landsbyerne og købe sig Mad.‟
And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, and said: This is a desert place, and the hour is now past; send the multitudes away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves food.
16 Men Jesus sagde til dem: „De have ikke nødig at gaa bort; giver I dem at spise!‟
But Jesus said to them: They need not go away; do you give them food.
17 Men de sige til ham: „Vi have ikke her uden fem Brød og to Fisk.‟
They said to him: We have here but five loaves and two fishes.
18 Men han sagde: „Henter mig dem hid!‟
He said: Bring them hither to me.
19 Og han bød Skarerne at sætte sig ned i Græsset og tog de fem Brød og de to Fisk, saa op til Himmelen og velsignede; og han brød Brødene og gav Disciplene dem, og Disciplene gave dem til Skarerne.
And he commanded the multitudes to recline upon the grass: and he took the five loaves and the two fishes, and looked up to heaven, and blessed, and broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples gave it to the multitudes.
20 Og de spiste alle og bleve mætte; og de opsamlede det, som blev tilovers af Stykkerne, tolv Kurve fulde.
And they all ate and were satisfied. And they took up what remained of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full.
21 Men de, som spiste, vare omtrent fem Tusinde Mænd, foruden Kvinder og Børn.
And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
22 Og straks nødte han sine Disciple til at gaa om Bord i Skibet og i Forvejen sætte over til hin Side, medens han lod Skarerne gaa bort.
And he immediately constrained his disciples to get into the ship, and go before him to the opposite side, while he sent the multitudes away.
23 Og da han havde ladet Skarerne gaa bort, gik han op paa Bjerget afsides for at bede. Og da det blev silde, var han der alene.
And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into the mountain apart to pray. And when evening came, he was there alone.
24 Men Skibet var allerede midt paa Søen og led Nød af Bølgerne; thi Vinden var imod.
But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.
25 Men i den fjerde Nattevagt kom han til dem, vandrende paa Søen.
And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.
26 Og da Disciplene saa ham vandre paa Søen, bleve de forfærdede og sagde: „Det er et Spøgelse; ‟ og de skrege af Frygt.
And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were alarmed, and said: It is a specter! and they cried out for fear.
27 Men straks talte Jesus til dem og sagde: „Værer frimodige; det er mig, frygter ikke!‟
But Jesus immediately spoke to them, and said: Take courage; it is I; be not afraid.
28 Men Peter svarede ham og sagde: „Herre! dersom det er dig, da byd mig at komme til dig paa Vandet!‟
And Peter answered him, and said: Lord, if it be thou, bid me come to thee on the water.
29 Men han sagde: „Kom!‟ Og Peter traadte ned fra Skibet og vandrede paa Vandet for at komme til Jesus.
And he said: Come. And Peter went down from the ship, and walked upon the water to go to Jesus.
30 Men da han saa det stærke Vejr, blev han bange; og da han begyndte at synke, raabte han og sagde: „Herre, frels mig!‟
But when he saw the wind strong, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying: Lord, save me.
31 Og straks udrakte Jesus Haanden og greb ham, og han siger til ham: „Du lidettroende, hvorfor tvivlede du?‟
And Jesus immediately stretched out his hand, and took hold of him, and said to him: O you of little faith, why did you doubt?
32 Og da de stege op i Skibet, lagde Vinden sig.
And when they had entered the ship, the wind ceased.
33 Men de, som vare i Skibet, faldt ned for ham og sagde: „Du er sandelig Guds Søn.‟
And they that were in the ship came and worshiped him, saying: Truly, thou art the Son of God.
34 Og da de vare farne over, landede de i Genezareth.
And when they had passed over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.
35 Og da Folkene paa det Sted kendte ham, sendte de Bud til hele Egnen der omkring og bragte alle de syge til ham.
And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all the neighboring country, and brought to him all that were sick;
36 Og de bade ham, at de blot maatte røre ved Fligen af hans Klædebon; og alle de, som rørte derved, bleve helbredede.
and besought him that they might only touch the fringe of his mantle; and as many as touched were perfectly saved.
