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 drew near unto Jerusalem, and came unto Bethphage, unto the Mount of Olives, then, Jesus sent forth 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 unto them—Be going into the village that is over against you, and, straightway, ye shall find an ass, bound, and a colt with her, —loose them, and lead them unto 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 anyone, unto you, say aught, ye shall say—Their Lord, hath, need, —and, straightway, he will send them.
4 Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
But, this, hath come to pass, that it might be fulfilled, which was spoken through the prophet, saying:
5 „Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende paa et Asen og paa et Trældyrs Føl.”
Tell ye the daughter of Zion, Lo! thy King, is coming unto thee, meek and mounted upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of a toiling ass.
6 Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
And the disciples, went, and did as Jesus directed them;
7 og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder paa dem, og han satte sig derpaa.
and led the ass and the colt, and laid upon them their garments, and he took his seat 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 chief multitude, spread their own mantles in the way, and, others, were cutting off young branches from the trees, and spreading them in the way;
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, they who were going before him and they who were following after, were crying aloud, saying—Hosanna! to the Son of David, Blessed is he that is coming 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 startled, saying—Who is this?
11 Men Skarerne sagde: „Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa.”
And, the multitudes, were saying—This, is the prophet Jesus, —He 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, and cast out all who were selling and buying in the temple, —and, the tables of the money-changers, he overthrew, and the seats of them who were selling doves;
13 Og han siger til dem: „Der er skrevet: Mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus; men I gøre det til en Røverkule.”
and saith unto them—It is written, My house, a house of prayer, shall be called; but, ye, are making it, A den of robbers!
14 Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
And there came unto him blind and lame, in the temple, and he cured 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 the Chief-priests and the Scribes, seeing, the marvels that he wrought, and the boys who were crying aloud in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! were greatly displeased;
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 unto him—Hearest thou what these are saying? And, Jesus, saith unto them—Yea: Have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, hast thou prepared praise?
17 Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
And, leaving them behind, he went forth outside the city into Bethany, and spent the night there.
18 Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev han hungrig.
And, early, returning into the city, he hungered;
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, seeing one fig-tree by the way, he came up to it, and nothing, found he thereon, save leaves only, —and he saith unto it—No more, from thee, let fruit spring forth, unto times age-abiding, —and the fig-tree, instantly withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Og da Disciplene saa det, forundrede de sig og sagde: „Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?”
And the disciples, seeing it, marvelled, saying—How instantly, did the fig-tree wither away.
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 Jesus, answering, said unto them—Verily, I say unto you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only, this of the fig-tree, shall ye do, —but, even if, unto this mountain, ye shall say, Be lifted up, and be cast into the sea, it shall be done.
22 Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I faa.”
And, all things whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall 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, entered, the temple, the Chief-priests and the Elders of the people, came unto him as he was teaching, saying, By what authority, these things, art thou doing? and, who, to thee, gave, 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, making answer, Jesus said unto them—I also, will ask, you, one thing, —which if ye tell me, I also, will tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing: —
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 by John, whence was it? Of heaven, or of men? But, they, began to deliberate among themselves, saying—If we say, Of heaven; He will say unto us, Wherefore 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 say, Of men, we fear the multitude, for, all, as a prophet, are holding John.
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, making answer to Jesus, they said—We know not. He also, said unto them—Neither do, I, tell, you, by what authority, these things, I am doing.
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 how, to you, doth it seem? A man, had two sons: coming unto the first, he said, Son! go thy way, to-day, be working in the vineyard.
29 Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
And, he, answering, said, I, sir! and went not;
30 Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
And, coming unto the second, he spake, in like manner, —and, he, answering, said, I will not: afterwards, smitten with regret, he went.
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, The latter. Jesus saith unto them—Verily, I say unto you, the tax-collectors and the harlots, are going before you, into the kingdom of God;
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 unto you, in a way of righteousness, and ye believed him not, —but, the tax-collectors and the harlots, believed him; and, ye, seeing it, were not even smitten with regret, afterwards, so as 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.
Another parable, hear ye: —A man there was, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and, a wall around it, placed, and digged in it a wine-vat, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, —and left home.
34 Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingaardsmændene for at faa dens Frugter.
And, when the season of fruits drew near, He sent forth his servants unto the husbandmen to receive his fruits.
35 Og Vingaardsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
And the husbandmen, taking his servants, one, indeed, they beat, and, another, slew, —and, another, stoned.
36 Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligesaa med dem.
Again, sent he forth other servants, more than the first, and they did unto them, likewise.
37 Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
Afterwards, however, he sent forth unto them his son, saying, —They will pay deference unto 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 husbandmen, seeing the son, said among themselves, —This, is, the heir: Come on! Let us slay him, and have his inheritance.
39 Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel.
And, taking him, they cast him forth outside the vineyard, —and slew him.
40 Naar da Vingaardens Herre kommer, hvad vil han saa gøre med disse Vingaardsmænd?”
When therefore the master of the vineyard shall come, what will he do unto those husbandmen?
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 unto him—Miserable men! Miserably, will he destroy them; and will let out, the vineyard, to other husbandmen, who will render unto 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 saith unto them—Have ye, never, read in the Scriptures, A stone which the builders rejected, the same, hath become, head of the corner: From the Lord, hath this come to pass, and is marvellous in our eyes.
43 Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
Wherefore I say unto you, The kingdom of God, will be taken away from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof:
44 Og den, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.”
[And, he that falleth on this stone, will be sorely bruised; but, on whomsoever it may fall, it will utterly destroy him.]
45 Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
And the Chief-priests and the Pharisees, hearing his parables, took note, that, concerning them, he was speaking.
46 Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
And, seeking to secure him, they feared the multitudes; since, for a prophet, were they holding him.
