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.
Six day later, Jesus took with Him Peter and the brothers James and John, and brought them up a high mountain to a solitary place.
2 Og han blev forvandlet for deres Øjne, og hans Aasyn skinnede som Solen, men hans Klæder bleve hvide som Lyset.
There in their presence His form underwent a change; His face shone like the sun, and His raiment became as white as the light.
3 Og se, Moses og Elias viste sig for dem og samtalede med ham.
And suddenly 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 said to Jesus, "Master, we are thankful to you that we are here. If you approve, I will put up three tents here, 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!‟
He was still speaking when a luminous cloud spread over them; and a voice was heard from within the cloud, which said, "This is My Son dearly beloved, in whom is My delight. Listen to Him."
6 Og da Disciplene hørte det, faldt de paa deres Ansigt og frygtede saare.
On hearing this voice, the disciples fell on their faces and were filled with terror.
7 Og Jesus traadte hen og rørte ved dem og sagde: „Staar op, og frygter ikke!‟
But Jesus came and touched them, and said, "Rouse yourselves and have no fear."
8 Men da de opløftede deres Øjne, saa de ingen uden Jesus alene.
So they looked up, and saw no one but Jesus.
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 descending the mountain, Jesus laid a command upon them. "Tell no one," He said, "of the sight you have seen till the Son of Man has risen from among the dead."
10 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er det da, de skriftkloge sige, at Elias bør først komme?‟
"Why then," asked the disciples, "do the Scribes say that Elijah must first come?"
11 Og han svarede og sagde: „Vel kommer Elias og skal genoprette alting.
"Elijah was indeed to come," He replied, "and would reform everything.
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 tell you that he has already come, and they did not recognize him, but dealt with him as they chose. And before long the Son of Man will be treated by them in a similar way."
13 Da forstode Disciplene, at han havde talt til dem om Johannes Døberen.
Then it dawned upon the disciples that it was John the Baptist about whom He had spoken to them.
14 Og da de kom til Folkeskaren, kom en Mand til ham og faldt paa Knæ for ham og sagde:
When they had returned to the people, there came to Him a man who fell on his knees before Him and besought Him.
15 „Herre! forbarm dig over min Søn, thi han er maanesyg og lidende; thi han falder ofte i Ild og ofte i Vand;
"Sir," he said, "have pity on my son, for he is an epileptic and is very ill. Often he falls into the fire and often into the water.
16 og jeg bragte ham til dine Disciple, og de kunde ikke helbrede ham.‟
I have brought him to your disciples, and they have not been able to 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!‟
"O unbelieving and perverse generation!" replied Jesus; "how long shall I be with you? how long shall I endure you? Bring him to me."
18 Og Jesus talte ham haardt til, og den onde Aand for ud af ham, og Drengen blev helbredet fra samme Time.
Then Jesus reprimanded the demon, and it came out and left him; and the boy was cured from that moment.
19 Da gik Disciplene til Jesus afsides og sagde: „Hvorfor kunde vi ikke uddrive den?‟
Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked Him, "Why could not we expel the demon?"
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.
"Because your faith is so small," He replied; "for I solemnly declare to you that if you have faith like a mustard-seed, you shall say to this mountain, 'Remove from this place to that,' and it will remove; and nothing shall be impossible to you.
21 Men denne Slags farer ikke ud uden ved Bøn og Faste.‟
But an evil spirit of this kind is only driven out by prayer and fasting."
22 Og medens de vandrede sammen i Galilæa, sagde Jesus til dem: „Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder;
As they were travelling about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of 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.
they will put Him to death, but on the third day He will be raised to life again." And they were exceedingly distressed.
24 Men da de kom til Kapernaum, kom de, som opkrævede Tempelskatten, til Peter og sagde: „Betaler eders Mester ikke Skatten?‟
After their arrival at Capernaum the collectors of the half-shekel came and asked Peter, "Does not your Teacher pay the half-shekel?"
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?‟
"Yes," he replied, and then went into the house. But before he spoke a word Jesus said, "What think you, Simon? From whom do this world's kings receive customs or capitation tax? from their own children, or from others?"
26 Og da han sagde: „Af de fremmede, ‟ sagde Jesus til ham: „Saa ere jo Sønnerne frie.
"From others," he replied. "Then the children go free," said Jesus.
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!‟
"However, lest we cause them to sin, go and throw a hook into the Lake, and take the first fish that comes up. When you open its mouth, you will find a shekel in it: bring that coin and give it to them for yourself and me."
