Matthæus 17
1 Og seks Dage derefter tager Jesus Peter og Jakob og hans Broder Johannes med sig og fører dem afsides op paa et højt Bjerg.
Now after six days Jesus takes Peter, James and his brother John and leads them up on a high mountain, in private.
2 Og han blev forvandlet for deres Øjne, og hans Aasyn skinnede som Solen, men hans Klæder bleve hvide som Lyset.
And He was transfigured before them and his face shone like the sun, while His clothes became as white as the light.
3 Og se, Moses og Elias viste sig for dem og samtalede med ham.
When wow, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with Him.
4 Da tog Peter til Orde og sagde til Jesus: „Herre! det er godt, at vi ere her; vil du, da lader os gøre tre Hytter her, dig en og Moses en og Elias en.‟
Then Peter reacted and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, let us make three booths: one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.”
5 Medens han endnu talte, se, da overskyggede en lysende Sky dem; og se, der kom fra Skyen en Røst, som sagde: „Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag; hører ham!‟
While he was still speaking a brilliant cloud overshadowed them, and then, a Voice came out of the cloud saying: “This is my beloved Son in whom I am always well pleased. Hear Him!”
6 Og da Disciplene hørte det, faldt de paa deres Ansigt og frygtede saare.
As the disciples heard it they fell on their faces and were greatly afraid.
7 Og Jesus traadte hen og rørte ved dem og sagde: „Staar op, og frygter ikke!‟
Then Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, don't be afraid.”
8 Men da de opløftede deres Øjne, saa de ingen uden Jesus alene.
So lifting up their eyes they saw no one but Jesus only.
9 Og da de gik ned fra Bjerget, bød Jesus dem og sagde: „Taler ikke til nogen om dette Syn, førend Menneskesønnen er oprejst fra de døde.‟
As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them saying, “Tell no one the vision until the Son of the Man is risen from the dead.”
10 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er det da, de skriftkloge sige, at Elias bør først komme?‟
So His disciples questioned Him saying, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”
11 Og han svarede og sagde: „Vel kommer Elias og skal genoprette alting.
In answer Jesus said to them: “Elijah is indeed coming first, and he will restore all things.
12 Men jeg siger eder, at Elias er allerede kommen, og de erkendte ham ikke, men gjorde med ham alt, hvad de vilde; saaledes skal ogsaa Menneskesønnen lide ondt af dem.‟
But I say to you that ‘Elijah’ has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. Thus also the Son of the Man is about to suffer at their hands.”
13 Da forstode Disciplene, at han havde talt til dem om Johannes Døberen.
Then the disciples understood that He spoke to them of John the Baptizer.
14 Og da de kom til Folkeskaren, kom en Mand til ham og faldt paa Knæ for ham og sagde:
As they came to the crowd a man approached Him and kneeling to Him said:
15 „Herre! forbarm dig over min Søn, thi han er maanesyg og lidende; thi han falder ofte i Ild og ofte i Vand;
“Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is moonstruck and suffers badly! For he often falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 og jeg bragte ham til dine Disciple, og de kunde ikke helbrede ham.‟
So I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 Og Jesus svarede og sagde: „O du vantro og forvendte Slægt! hvor længe skal jeg være hos eder, hvor længe skal jeg taale eder? Bringer mig ham hid!‟
Then in answer Jesus said: “O faithless and perverse generation, how long must I be with you? How long must I put up with you? Bring him here to me.”
18 Og Jesus talte ham haardt til, og den onde Aand for ud af ham, og Drengen blev helbredet fra samme Time.
And Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him, and the boy was healed from that very hour.
19 Da gik Disciplene til Jesus afsides og sagde: „Hvorfor kunde vi ikke uddrive den?‟
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why were we not able to cast it out?”
20 Og han siger til dem: „For eders Vantros Skyld; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro som et Sennepskorn, da kunne I sige til dette Bjerg: Flyt dig herfra derhen, saa skal det flytte sig; og intet skal være eder umuligt.
So Jesus said to them: “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly I say to you, if you have faith like a mustard seed has, you (ye) will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.
21 Men denne Slags farer ikke ud uden ved Bøn og Faste.‟
However, this class does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
22 Og medens de vandrede sammen i Galilæa, sagde Jesus til dem: „Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder;
While they were staying in Galilee Jesus said to them, “The Son of the Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,
23 og de skulle slaa ham ihjel, og paa den tredje Dag skal han oprejses.‟ Og de bleve saare bedrøvede.
and they will kill Him, and on the third day He will be raised.” And they were seriously grieved.
24 Men da de kom til Kapernaum, kom de, som opkrævede Tempelskatten, til Peter og sagde: „Betaler eders Mester ikke Skatten?‟
When they entered Capernaum those who collected the temple tax approached Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”
25 Han sagde: „Jo.‟ Og da han kom ind i Huset, kom Jesus ham i Forkøbet og sagde: „Hvad tykkes dig, Simon? Af hvem tage Jordens Konger Told eller Skat, af deres egne Sønner eller af de fremmede?‟
He says, “Yes.” So when they entered the house Jesus anticipated him saying: “Simon, what do you think? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or poll tax, from their sons or from strangers?”
26 Og da han sagde: „Af de fremmede, ‟ sagde Jesus til ham: „Saa ere jo Sønnerne frie.
Peter says to Him, “From the strangers.” Jesus said to him: “Well then, the sons are free.
27 Men for at vi ikke skulle forarge dem, saa gaa hen til Søen, kast en Krog ud, og tag den første Fisk, som kommer op; og naar du aabner dens Mund, skal du finde en Stater; tag denne, og giv dem den for mig og dig!‟
But, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And opening its mouth you will find a ‘stater’ [a coin]; take that and give it to them for me and you.”
