< Matthæus 19 >
1 Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Ord, drog han bort fra Galilæa og kom til Judæas Egne, hinsides Jordan.
And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these words, he withdrew from Galilee, and came to the coasts of Judaea beyond the Jordan;
2 Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.
and great crowds followed him, and he healed them there.
3 Og Farisæerne kom til ham, fristede ham og sagde: „Er det tilladt at skille sig fra sin Hustru af hvilken som helst Grund?‟
And the Pharisees came to him tempting him, and saying, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Men han svarede og sagde: „Have I ikke læst, at Skaberen fra Begyndelsen skabte dem som Mand og Kvinde
But he answering said [to them], Have ye not read that he who made [them], from the beginning made them male and female,
5 og sagde: „Derfor skal en Mand forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og holde sig til sin Hustru, og de to skulle blive til eet Kød?‟
and said, On account of this a man shall leave father and mother, and shall be united to his wife, and the two shall be one flesh?
6 Saaledes ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, maa et Menneske ikke adskille.‟
so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.
7 De sige til ham: „Hvorfor bød da Moses at give et Skilsmissebrev og skille sig fra hende?‟
They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a letter of divorce and to send [her] away?
8 Han siger til dem: „Moses tilstedte eder at skille eder fra eders Hustruer for eders Hjerters Haardheds Skyld; men fra Begyndelsen har det ikke været saaledes.
He says to them, Moses, in view of your hardheartedness, allowed you to put away your wives; but from the beginning it was not thus.
9 Men jeg siger eder, at den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, naar det ikke er for Hors Skyld, og tager en anden til Ægte, han bedriver Hor; og den, som tager en fraskilt Hustru til Ægte, han bedriver Hor.‟
But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, not for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery; and he who marries one put away commits adultery.
10 Hans Disciple sige til ham: „Staar Mandens Sag med Hustruen saaledes, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig.‟
His disciples say to him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.
11 Men han sagde til dem: „Ikke alle rumme dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:
And he said to them, All cannot receive this word, but those to whom it has been given;
12 Thi der er Gildinger, som ere fødte saaledes fra Moders Liv; og der er Gildinger, som ere gildede af Mennesker; og der er Gildinger, som have gildet sig selv for Himmeriges Riges Skyld. Den, som kan rumme det, han rumme det!‟
for there are eunuchs which have been born thus from [their] mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs of men; and there are eunuchs who have made eunuchs of themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He that is able to receive [it], let him receive [it].
13 Da blev der baaret smaa Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne paa dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.
Then there were brought to him little children that he might lay his hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
14 Da sagde Jesus: „Lader de smaa Børn komme, og formener dem ikke at komme til mig; thi Himmeriges Rige hører saadanne til.‟
But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and do not hinder them from coming to me; for the kingdom of the heavens is of such:
15 Og han lagde Hænderne paa dem, og han drog derfra.
and having laid his hands upon them, he departed thence.
16 Og se, en kom til ham og sagde: „Mester! hvad godt skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan faa et evigt Liv?‟ (aiōnios )
And lo, one coming up said to him, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have life eternal? (aiōnios )
17 Men han sagde til ham: „Hvorfor spørger du mig om det gode? Een er den gode. Men vil du indgaa til Livet, da hold Budene!‟
And he said to him, What askest thou me concerning goodness? one is good. But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments.
18 Han siger til ham: „Hvilke?‟ Men Jesus sagde: „Dette: Du maa ikke slaa ihjel; du maa ikke bedrive Hor; du maa ikke stjæle; du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd;
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,
19 ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv.‟
Honour thy father and thy mother, and Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
20 Den unge Mand siger til ham: „Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?‟
The young man says to him, All these have I kept; what lack I yet?
21 Jesus sagde til ham: „Vil du være fuldkommen, da gaa bort, sælg, hvad du ejer, og giv det til fattige, saa skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom saa og følg mig!‟
Jesus said to him, If thou wouldest be perfect, go, sell what thou hast and give to [the] poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.
22 Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.
But the young man, having heard the word, went away grieved, for he had large possessions.
23 Men Jesus sagde til sine Disciple: „Sandelig siger jeg eder: En rig kommer vanskeligt ind i Himmeriges Rige.
And Jesus said to his disciples, Verily I say unto you, A rich man shall with difficulty enter into the kingdom of the heavens;
24 Atter siger jeg eder: Det er lettere for en Kamel at gaa igennem et Naaleøje end for en rig at gaa ind i Guds Rige.‟
and again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to enter a needle's eye than a rich man into the kingdom of God.
25 Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de saare og sagde: „Hvem kan da blive frelst?‟
And when the disciples heard [it] they were exceedingly astonished, saying, Who then can be saved?
26 Men Jesus saa paa dem og sagde: „For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige.‟
But Jesus, looking on [them], said to them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: „Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?‟
Then Peter answering said to him, Behold, we have left all things and have followed thee; what then shall happen to us?
28 Men Jesus sagde til dem: „Sandelig siger jeg eder, at i Igenfødelsen, naar Menneskesønnen sidder paa sin Herligheds Trone, skulle ogsaa I, som have fulgt mig, sidde paa tolv Troner og dømme Israels tolv Stammer.
And Jesus said to them, Verily I say unto you, That ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit down upon his throne of glory, ye also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Og hver, som har forladt Hus eller Brødre eller Søstre eller Fader eller Moder eller Hustru eller Børn eller Marker for mit Navns Skyld, skal faa det mange Fold igen og arve et evigt Liv. (aiōnios )
And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit life eternal. (aiōnios )
30 Men mange af de første skulle blive de sidste, og af de sidste de første.
But many first shall be last, and last first.
