Matthæus 14
1 Paa den Tid hørte Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes Rygtet om Jesus.
At that time Herod the tetrarch heard 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 said to his servants, This is John the baptist, he is certainly risen from the dead, and therefore miraculous things are done by 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 apprehended John, and bound him, and put him in prison for the sake of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife;
4 Johannes sagde nemlig til ham: „Det er dig ikke tilladt at have hende.‟
for John said to Him, It is not lawful for thee to have her: and he would have put him to death,
5 Og han vilde gerne slaa ham ihjel, men frygtede for Mængden, thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
but that he was afraid of the people; for they esteemed 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 birth-day was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod, so
7 Derfor lovede han med en Ed at give hende, hvad som helst hun begærede.
that he promised her 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 she, being before instructed by her mother, said, Give me here in a dish the head of John the baptist:
9 Og Kongen blev bedrøvet; men for sine Eders og for Gæsternes Skyld befalede han, at det skulde gives hende.
at which the king was distressed, but because of his oath, and of those who sat at table with him, he ordered it to be given her;
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 young princess, who 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 up the body and buried it, and then 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 it, He departed from thence in a ship to a solitary place of retirement: but the people hearing where He was 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 of the ship, He saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them; and He healed 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.‟
Now when it was evening his disciples came to Him and said, This is a desert place, and meal-time is now past; dismiss the people, that they may go away to the towns, and buy themselves victuals.
16 Men Jesus sagde til dem: „De have ikke nødig at gaa bort; giver I dem at spise!‟
But Jesus said to them, they have no need to go away, do ye give them something to eat.
17 Men de sige til ham: „Vi have ikke her uden fem Brød og to Fisk.‟
And they said, we have nothing here but five loaves and two fishes:
18 Men han sagde: „Henter mig dem hid!‟
and 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 having ordered the multitudes to sit down upon the grass, and taken the five loaves and the two fishes, He looked up to heaven and blessed them; and He brake the loaves and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples to the people: and they did all eat, and were satisfied;
20 Og de spiste alle og bleve mætte; og de opsamlede det, som blev tilovers af Stykkerne, tolv Kurve fulde.
and they took up what was left even of fragments twelve baskets full.
21 Men de, som spiste, vare omtrent fem Tusinde Mænd, foruden Kvinder og Børn.
Now 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 presently after Jesus obliged the disciples to get into the ship, and to go before Him to the other side, while He dismissed the multitudes:
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 dismissed them, He went up to a hill in private to pray.
24 Men Skibet var allerede midt paa Søen og led Nød af Bølgerne; thi Vinden var imod.
And in the evening He was there alone. Now the ship was by this time in the midst of the sea, and violently tossed by the waves; for the wind was contrary:
25 Men i den fjerde Nattevagt kom han til dem, vandrende paa Søen.
but in the fourth watch of the night Jesus 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 affrighted and said, It is an apparition;
27 Men straks talte Jesus til dem og sagde: „Værer frimodige; det er mig, frygter ikke!‟
and they cried out for fear: but Jesus immediately spake to them, saying, 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!‟
Then Peter answered Him and said, Lord, if it be thou, command me to come unto thee upon the waters.
29 Men han sagde: „Kom!‟ Og Peter traadte ned fra Skibet og vandrede paa Vandet for at komme til Jesus.
And He said, Come.
30 Men da han saa det stærke Vejr, blev han bange; og da han begyndte at synke, raabte han og sagde: „Herre, frels mig!‟
And Peter went down from the ship and walked upon the waters to go to Jesus: but seeing the wind boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink cried out, 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 stretching forth his hand, laid hold of him, and saith to him, O man of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32 Og da de stege op i Skibet, lagde Vinden sig.
So they got into the ship, and the wind ceased.
33 Men de, som vare i Skibet, faldt ned for ham og sagde: „Du er sandelig Guds Søn.‟
Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped Him, saying, Thou art indeed the Son of God.
34 Og da de vare farne over, landede de i Genezareth.
And they passed over and came into the country 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 the men of that place getting knowledge of Him, sent into all that country about; and they brought to Him all that were ill;
36 Og de bade ham, at de blot maatte røre ved Fligen af hans Klædebon; og alle de, som rørte derved, bleve helbredede.
and intreated Him that they might but touch the border of his garment; and as many as touched Him were made perfectly well.
