Matthæus 18
1 I den samme Stund kom Disciplene hen til Jesus og sagde: „Hvem er da den største i Himmeriges Rige?‟
The same time the disciples came vnto Iesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen?
2 Og han kaldte et lille Barn til sig og stillede det midt iblandt dem
And Iesus called a litle childe vnto him, and set him in the mids of them,
3 og sagde: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, uden I omvende eder og blive som Børn, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.
And sayd, Verely I say vnto you, except ye be conuerted, and become as litle children, ye shall not enter into the kingdome of heauen.
4 Derfor, den, som fornedrer sig selv som dette Barn, han er den største i Himmeriges Rige.
Whosoeuer therefore shall humble himselfe as this litle childe, the same is the greatest in the kingdome of heauen.
5 Og den, som modtager et eneste saadant Barn for mit Navns Skyld, modtager mig.
And whosoeuer shall receiue one such litle childe in my name, receiueth me.
6 Men den, som forarger een af disse smaa, som tro paa mig, ham var det bedre, at der var hængt en Møllesten om hans Hals, og han var sænket i Havets Dyb.
But whosoeuer shall offend one of these litle ones which beleeue in me, it were better for him, that a milstone were hanged about his necke, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Ve Verden for Forargelserne! Thi vel er det nødvendigt, at Forargelserne komme; dog, ve det Menneske, ved hvem Forargelsen kommer!
Wo be vnto the world because of offences: for it must needes be that offences shall come, but wo be to that man by whome the offence commeth.
8 Men dersom din Haand eller din Fod forarger dig, da hug den af, og kast den fra dig! Det er bedre for dig at gaa lam eller som en Krøbling ind til Livet end at have to Hænder og to Fødder og blive kastet i den evige Ild. (aiōnios g166)
Wherefore, if thy hand or thy foote cause thee to offend, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life, halt, or maimed, then hauing two hands, or two feete, to be cast into euerlasting fire. (aiōnios g166)
9 Og dersom dit Øje forarger dig, da riv det ud, og kast det fra dig! Det er bedre for dig at gaa enøjet ind til Livet end at have to Øjne og blive kastet i Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)
And if thine eye cause thee to offende, plucke it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, then hauing two eyes to be cast into hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
10 Ser til, at I ikke foragte en eneste af disse smaa; thi jeg siger eder: Deres Engle i Himlene se altid min Faders Ansigt, som er i Himlene.
See that ye despise not one of these litle ones: for I say vnto you, that in heauen their Angels alwayes behold the face of my Father which is in heauen.
11 [Thi Menneskesønnen er kommen for at frelse det fortabte.]
For the Sonne of man is come to saue that which was lost.
12 Hvad tykkes eder? Om et Menneske har hundrede Faar, og eet af dem farer vild, forlader han da ikke de ni og halvfemsindstyve og gaar ud i Bjergene og leder efter det vildfarende?
How thinke ye? If a man haue an hundreth sheepe, and one of them be gone astray, doeth he not leaue ninetie and nine, and go into the mountaines, and seeke that which is gone astray?
13 Og hænder det sig, at han finder det, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han glæder sig mere over det end over de ni og halvfemsindstyve, som ikke ere farne vild.
And if so be that he finde it, verely I say vnto you, he reioyceth more of that sheepe, then of the ninetie and nine which went not astray:
14 Saaledes er det ikke eders himmelske Faders Villie, at en eneste af disse smaa skal fortabes.
So is it not ye wil of your Father which is in heauen, that one of these litle ones should perish.
15 Men om din Broder synder imod dig, da gaa hen og revs ham mellem dig og ham alene; hører han dig, da har du vundet din Broder.
Moreouer, if thy brother trespasse against thee, goe and tell him his fault betweene thee and him alone: if he heare thee, thou hast wonne thy brother.
16 Men hører han dig ikke, da tag endnu en eller to med dig, for at „hver Sag maa staa fast efter to eller tre Vidners Mund.‟
But if he heare thee not, take yet with thee one or two, that by the mouth of two or three witnesses euery worde may be confirmed.
17 Men er han dem overhørig, da sig det til Menigheden; men er han ogsaa Menigheden overhørig, da skal han være for dig ligesom en Hedning og en Tolder.
And if he refuse to heare them, tell it vnto the Church: and if he refuse to heare the Church also, let him be vnto thee as an heathen man, and a Publicane.
18 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvad som helst I binde paa Jorden, skal være bundet i Himmelen; og hvad som helst I løse paa Jorden, skal være løst i Himmelen.
Verely I say vnto you, Whatsoeuer ye bind on earth, shall be bound in heauen: and whatsoeuer ye loose on earth, shalbe loosed in heauen.
19 Atter siger jeg eder, at dersom to af eder blive enige paa Jorden om hvilken som helst Sag, hvorom de ville bede, da skal det blive dem til Del fra min Fader, som er i Himlene.
Againe, verely I say vnto you, that if two of you shall agree in earth vpon any thing, whatsoeuer they shall desire, it shall be giuen them of my Father which is in heauen.
20 Thi hvor to eller tre ere forsamlede om mit Navn, der er jeg midt iblandt dem.‟
For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the mids of them.
21 Da traadte Peter frem og sagde til ham: „Herre! hvor ofte skal jeg tilgive min Broder, naar han synder imod mig? mon indtil syv Gange?‟
Then came Peter to him, and said, Master, howe oft shall my brother sinne against me, and I shall forgiue him? vnto seuen times?
22 Jesus siger til ham: „Jeg siger dig: ikke indtil syv Gange, men indtil halvfjerdsindstyve Gange syv Gange.
Iesus said vnto him, I say not to thee, Vnto seuen times, but, Vnto seuentie times seuen times.
23 Derfor lignes Himmeriges Rige ved en Konge, som vilde holde Regnskab med sine Tjenere.
Therefore is the kingdome of heauen likened vnto a certaine King, which would take an account of his seruants.
24 Men da han begyndte at holde Regnskab, blev en, som var ti Tusinde Talenter skyldig, ført frem for ham.
And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought vnto him, which ought him ten thousand talents.
25 Og da han intet havde at betale med, bød hans Herre, at han og hans Hustru og Børn og alt det, han havde, skulde sælges, og Gælden betales.
And because he had nothing to pay, his Lord commanded him to be solde, and his wife, and his children, and all that he had, and the dette to be payed.
26 Da faldt Tjeneren ned for ham, bønfaldt ham og sagde: Herre, vær langmodig med mig, saa vil jeg betale dig det alt sammen.
The seruant therefore fell downe, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, refraine thine anger toward me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Da ynkedes samme Tjeners Herre inderligt over ham og lod ham løs og eftergav ham Gælden.
Then that seruants Lord had compassion, and loosed him, and forgaue him the dette.
28 Men den samme Tjener gik ud og traf en af sine Medtjenere, som var ham hundrede Denarer skyldig; og han greb fat paa ham og var ved at kvæle ham og sagde: Betal, hvad du er skyldig!
But when the seruant was departed, hee found one of his felow seruants, which ought him an hundred pence, and he layde hands on him, and thratled him, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
29 Da faldt hans Medtjener ned for ham og bad ham og sagde: Vær langmodig med mig, saa vil jeg betale dig.
Then his fellow seruant fell downe at his feete, and besought him, saying, Refraine thine anger towards me, and I will pay thee all.
30 Men han vilde ikke, men gik hen og kastede ham i Fængsel, indtil han betalte, hvad han var skyldig.
Yet he would not, but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the dette.
31 Da nu hans Medtjenere saa det, som skete, bleve de saare bedrøvede og kom og forklarede for deres Herre alt, hvad der var sket.
And when his other felowe seruants sawe what was done, they were very sory, and came, and declared vnto their Lord all that was done.
32 Da kalder hans Herre ham for sig og siger til ham: Du onde Tjener! al den Gæld eftergav jeg dig, fordi du bad mig.
Then his Lord called him vnto him, and sayd to him, O euil seruant, I forgaue thee all that dette, because thou prayedst me.
33 Burde ikke ogsaa du forbarme dig over din Medtjener, ligesom jeg har forbarmet mig over dig.
Oughtest not thou also to haue had pitie on thy fellowe seruant, euen as I had pitie on thee?
34 Og hans Herre blev vred og overgav ham til Bødlerne, indtil han kunde faa betalt alt det, han var ham skyldig.
So his Lord was wroth, and deliuered him to the tormentours, till he should pay all that was due to him.
35 Saaledes skal ogsaa min himmelske Fader gøre mod eder, om I ikke af Hjertet tilgive, enhver sin Broder.‟
So likewise shall mine heauenly Father doe vnto you, except ye forgiue from your hearts, eche one to his brother their trespasses.
