Matthæus 21
1 Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
When they came near to Jerusalem and came to Bethsphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Yeshua 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 that is opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me.
3 Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, saa skal han straks sende dem.‟
If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and immediately he will send them.”
4 Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
All this was done 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 the daughter of Zion, behold, your King comes to you, humble, and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6 Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
The disciples went and did just as Yeshua commanded them,
7 og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder paa dem, og han satte sig derpaa.
and brought the donkey and the colt and laid their clothes on them; and he sat on them.
8 Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder paa Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem paa Vejen.
A very great multitude spread their clothes on the road. Others cut 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!‟
The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “Hoshia'na to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hoshia'na in the highest!”
10 Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: „Hvem er denne?‟
When he had come into Jerusalem, all the city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Men Skarerne sagde: „Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa.‟
The multitudes said, “This is the prophet, Yeshua, 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.
Yeshua entered into the temple of God and drove out all of those who sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the money changers’ tables 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.‟
He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers!”
14 Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
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 scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children who were crying in the temple and saying, “Hoshia'na 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 you hear what these are saying?” Yeshua said to them, “Yes. Did you never read, ‘Out of the mouth of children and nursing babies, you have perfected praise’?”
17 Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
He left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and camped there.
18 Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev han hungrig.
Now in the morning, as he returned 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)
Seeing a fig tree by the road, he came to it and found nothing on it but leaves. He said to it, “Let there be no fruit from you forever!” Immediately the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
20 Og da Disciplene saa det, forundrede de sig og sagde: „Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?‟
When the disciples saw it, they marvelled, saying, “How did the fig tree immediately 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.
Yeshua answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.
22 Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I faa.‟
All things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you 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?‟
When he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, “By what authority do you do these things? Who gave you 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.
Yeshua answered them, “I also will ask you one question, which if you tell me, I likewise 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 Yochanan, where was it from? From heaven or from men?” They reasoned with themselves, saying, “If we say, ‘From heaven,’ he will ask us, ‘Why then did you 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, ‘From men,’ we fear the multitude, for all hold Yochanan 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.
They answered Yeshua, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will 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 do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first, and said, ‘Son, go work today in my vineyard.’
29 Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
He answered, ‘I will not,’ but afterward he changed his mind, and went.
30 Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
He came to the second, and said the same thing. He answered, ‘I’m going, sir,’ but he didn’t 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 his father?” They said to him, “The first.” Yeshua said to them, “Most certainly I tell you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering into God’s Kingdom 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 Yochanan came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him; but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. When you saw it, you didn’t even repent afterward, that you might 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 another parable. There was a man who was a master of a household who planted a vineyard, set a hedge about it, dug a wine press in it, built a tower, leased it out to farmers, and went into another country.
34 Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingaardsmændene for at faa dens Frugter.
When the season for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the farmers to receive his fruit.
35 Og Vingaardsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
The farmers took his servants, beat one, 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 servants more than the first; and they treated them the same way.
37 Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
But afterward he sent to them his son, saying, ‘They will respect 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 amongst themselves, ‘This is the heir. Come, let’s kill him and seize his inheritance.’
39 Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel.
So they took him and threw him out of the vineyard, then 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 told him, “He will miserably destroy those miserable men, and will lease out the vineyard to other farmers who will give him the fruit in its season.”
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.
Yeshua said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It 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.
“Therefore I tell you, God’s Kingdom will be taken away from you and will be given to a nation producing its fruit.
44 Og den, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.‟
He who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces, but on whomever it will fall, it will scatter him as dust.”
45 Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke about them.
46 Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
When they sought to seize him, they feared the multitudes, because they considered him to be a prophet.
