Matthæus 21
1 Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethsphage, to the mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 „Gaar hen i den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder; og straks skulle I finde en Aseninde bunden og et Føl hos hende; løser dem og fører dem til mig!
saying to them, Go into the village opposite you, and straightaway ye will find a donkey tied, and a colt with it. Having loosed them, bring to me.
3 Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, saa skal han straks sende dem.‟
And if any man says anything to you, ye will say, The Lord has need of them, and straightaway he will send them.
4 Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
Now all this came to pass, so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled, which says,
5 „Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende paa et Asen og paa et Trældyrs Føl.‟
Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King comes to thee, meek, and mounted upon a donkey, and a colt the foal of a pack animal.
6 Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
And the disciples having gone, and having done as Jesus commanded them,
7 og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder paa dem, og han satte sig derpaa.
they brought the donkey and the colt, and put their garments over them. And he sat upon them.
8 Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder paa Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem paa Vejen.
And the great multitude spread their garments on the road, and others cut down branches from the trees, and spread them on the road.
9 Men Skarerne, som gik foran ham og fulgte efter, raabte og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Hosanna i det højeste!‟
And the multitudes who went ahead and those who followed, cried out, saying, Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!
10 Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: „Hvem er denne?‟
And when he entered into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is this?
11 Men Skarerne sagde: „Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa.‟
And the multitudes said, This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth of Galilee.
12 Og Jesus gik ind i Guds Helligdom og uddrev alle dem, som solgte og købte i Helligdommen, og han væltede Vekselerernes Borde og Duekræmmernes Stole.
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple. And he overturned the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.
13 Og han siger til dem: „Der er skrevet: Mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus; men I gøre det til en Røverkule.‟
And he says to them, It is written, My house will be called a house of prayer, but ye made it a den of robbers.
14 Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
And the lame and the blind came to him in the temple, and he healed them.
15 Men da Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge saa de Undergerninger, som han gjorde, og Børnene, som raabte i Helligdommen og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn!‟ bleve de vrede og sagde til ham:
But when the chief priests and the scholars saw the wonderful things that he did, and the boys crying out in the temple and saying, Hosanna to the son of David, they were indignant,
16 „Hører du, hvad disse sige?‟ Men Jesus siger til dem: „Ja! have I aldrig læst: Af umyndiges og diendes Mund har du beredt dig Lovsang?‟
and said to him, Do thou hear what these are saying? And Jesus says to them, Yes! Did ye never read, Out of the mouth of children and those who suckle thou have perfected praise?
17 Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
And having left them behind, he went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
18 Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev han hungrig.
Now early while returning to the city, he was hungry.
19 Og han saa et Figentræ ved Vejen og gik hen til det, og han fandt intet derpaa uden Blade alene. Og han siger til det: „Aldrig i Evighed skal der vokse Frugt mere paa dig!‟ Og Figentræet visnede straks. (aiōn g165)
And having seen a fig tree, one on the way, he came to it, and found nothing on it, except leaves only. And he says to it, Let fruit no longer be produced from thee into the age. And immediately the fig tree dried out. (aiōn g165)
20 Og da Disciplene saa det, forundrede de sig og sagde: „Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?‟
And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How did the fig tree dry out immediately?
21 Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro og ikke tvivle, da skulle I ikke alene kunne gøre det med Figentræet, men dersom I endog sige til dette Bjerg: Løft dig op og kast dig i Havet, da skal det ske.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, if ye have faith, and doubt not, ye will not only do that of the fig tree, but even if ye may say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it will happen.
22 Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I faa.‟
And all things, as many as ye may ask in prayer, believing, ye will receive.
23 Og da han kom ind i Helligdommen, kom Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste hen til ham, medens han lærte, og de sagde: „Af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, og hvem har givet dig denne Magt?‟
And when he came into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him while he taught, saying, By what authority do thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
24 Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Ogsaa jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og dersom I sige mig det, vil ogsaa jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
And having answered, Jesus said to them, I also will ask you one word, which if ye tell me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things.
25 Johannes's Daab, hvorfra var den? Fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?‟ Men de tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: „Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige til os: Hvorfor troede I ham da ikke?
The immersion of John, from where was it, from heaven or from men? And they deliberated with themselves, saying, If we should say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
26 Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, frygte vi for Mængden; thi de holde alle Johannes for en Profet.‟
But if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.
27 Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: „Det vide vi ikke.‟ Da sagde ogsaa han til dem: „Saa siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
And having answered Jesus, they said, We know not. He said to them, And neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Men hvad tykkes eder? En Mand havde to Børn; og han gik til den første og sagde: Barn! gaa hen, arbejd i Dag i min Vingaard!
But what does it seem to you? A man had two children. And having come to the first, he said, Child, go work today in my vineyard.
29 Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
And having answered, he said, I do not want to, but having repented later, he went.
30 Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
And having come to the second, he said likewise. And having answered, he said, I, sir, and did not go.
31 Hvem af de to gjorde Faderens Villie?‟ De sige: „Den første.‟ Jesus siger til dem: „Sandelig siger jeg eder, at Toldere og Skøger gaa forud for eder ind i Guds Rige.
Which of the two did the will of the father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, that the tax collectors and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
32 Thi Johannes kom til eder paa Retfærdigheds Vej, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men endskønt I saa det, fortrøde I det alligevel ikke bagefter, saa I troede ham.
For John came to you in a way of righteousness, and ye did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him. And having seen it, ye did not repent afterward to believe him.
33 Hører en anden Lignelse: Der var en Husbonde, som plantede en Vingaard og satte et Gærde omkring den og gravede en Perse i den og byggede et Taarn; og han lejede den ud til Vingaardsmænd og drog udenlands.
Hear ye another parable. There was a certain man who was a house-ruler, who planted a vineyard, and placed a hedge around it, and dug a winepress in it, and built a tower, and leased it to farmers, and went on a journey.
34 Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingaardsmændene for at faa dens Frugter.
And when the time of the fruits approached, he sent his bondmen to the farmers to receive his fruits.
35 Og Vingaardsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
And the farmers having taken his bondmen, they beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
36 Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligesaa med dem.
Again, he sent other bondmen more than the first, and they did to them in like manner.
37 Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
But finally he sent to them his son, saying, They will be made ashamed by my son.
38 Men da Vingaardsmændene saa Sønnen, sagde de til hverandre: Det er Arvingen; kommer, lader os slaa ham ihjel og faa hans Arv!
But the farmers, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, let us kill him, and possess his inheritance.
39 Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel.
And having seized him, they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
40 Naar da Vingaardens Herre kommer, hvad vil han saa gøre med disse Vingaardsmænd?‟
When therefore the lord of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?
41 De sige til ham: „Ilde vil han ødelægge de onde og leje sin Vingaard ud til andre Vingaardsmænd, som ville give ham Frugterne i deres Tid.‟
They say to him, Evil men, he will miserably destroy them, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers, who will render him the fruits in their seasons.
42 Jesus siger til dem: „Have I aldrig læst i Skrifterne: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten; fra Herren er dette kommet, og det er underligt for vore Øjne.
Jesus says to them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone that those who build rejected, this came to be in the head of the corner. This happened from the Lord, and it is marvelous in our eyes?
43 Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
Because of this I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and will be given to a nation producing the fruits of it.
44 Og den, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.‟
And he who falls on this stone will be shattered, but on whomever it may fall, it will grind him to dust.
45 Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they knew that he spoke about them.
46 Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
And when they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they held him as a prophet.
