Matthæus 23
1 Da talte Jesus til Skarerne og til sine Disciple og sagde:
Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
2 „Paa Mose Stol sidde de skriftkloge og Farisæerne.
Saying The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat:
3 Gører og holder derfor alt, hvad de sige eder; men gører ikke efter deres Gerninger; thi de sige det vel, men gøre det ikke.
All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not all of you after their works: for they say, and do not.
4 Men de binde svare Byrder, vanskelige at bære, og lægge dem paa Menneskenes Skuldre; men selv ville de ikke bevæge dem med en Finger.
For they bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.
5 Men de gøre alle deres Gerninger for at beskues af Menneskene; thi de gøre deres Bederemme brede og Kvasterne paa deres Klæder store.
But all their works they do in order to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments,
6 Og de ville gerne sidde øverst til Bords ved Maaltiderne og paa de fornemste Pladser i Synagogerne
And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues,
7 og lade sig hilse paa Torvene og kaldes Rabbi af Menneskene.
And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi.
8 Men I skulle ikke lade eder kalde Rabbi; thi een er eders Mester, men I ere alle Brødre.
But be not all of you called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all you are brethren.
9 Og I skulle ikke kalde nogen paa Jorden eders Fader; thi een er eders Fader, han, som er i Himlene.
And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
10 Ej heller skulle I lade eder kalde Vejledere; thi een er eders Vejleder, Kristus.
Neither be all of you called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.
11 Men den største iblandt eder skal være eders Tjener.
But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant.
12 Men den, som ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres, og den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes.
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be brought low; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
13 Men ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I tillukke Himmeriges Rige for Menneskene; thi I gaa ikke derind, og dem, som ville gaa ind, tillade I det ikke.
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for all of you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer all of you them that are entering to go in.
14 [Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I opæde Enkers Huse og bede paa Skrømt længe; derfor skulle I faa des haardere Dom.]
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore all of you shall receive the greater damnation.
15 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I drage om til Vands og til Lands for at vinde en eneste Tilhænger; og naar han er bleven det, gøre I ham til et Helvedes Barn, dobbelt saa slemt, som I selv ere. (Geenna g1067)
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, all of you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. (Geenna g1067)
16 Ve eder, I blinde Vejledere! I, som sige: Den, som sværger ved Templet, det er intet; men den, som sværger ved Guldet i Templet, han er forpligtet.
Woe unto you, all of you blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; but whosoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor!
17 I Daarer og blinde! hvilket er da størst? Guldet eller Templet, som helliger Guldet?
All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gold, or the temple that santifies the gold?
18 Fremdeles: Den, som sværger ved Alteret, det er intet; men den, som sværger ved Gaven derpaa, han er forpligtet.
And, Whosoever shall swear by the altar, it is nothing; but whosoever swears by the gift that is upon it, he is guilty.
19 I Daarer og blinde! hvilket er da størst? Gaven eller Alteret, som helliger Gaven?
All of you fools and blind: for whether is greater, the gift, or the altar that santifies the gift?
20 Derfor, den, som sværger ved Alteret, sværger ved det og ved alt det, som er derpaa.
Whoso therefore shall swear by the altar, swears by it, and by all things thereon.
21 Og den, som sværger ved Templet, sværger ved det og ved ham, som bor deri.
And whoso shall swear by the temple, swears by it, and by him that dwells therein.
22 Og den, som sværger ved Himmelen, sværger ved Guds Trone og ved ham, som sidder paa den.
And he that shall swear by heaven, swears by the throne of God, and by him that sits thereon.
23 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I give Tiende af Mynte og Dild og Kommen og have forsømt de Ting i Loven, der have større Vægt, Retten og Barmhjertigheden og Troskaben. Disse Ting burde man gøre og ikke forsømme hine.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought all of you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24 I blinde Vejledere, I, som si Myggen af, men nedsluge Kamelen!
All of you blind guides, which strain out a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I rense det udvendige af Bægeret og Fadet, men indvendigt ere de fulde af Rov og Umættelighed.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26 Du blinde Farisæer! rens først det indvendige af Bægeret og Fadet, for at ogsaa det udvendige af dem kan blive rent.
You blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I ere ligesom kalkede Grave, der jo synes dejlige udvendigt, men indvendigt ere fulde af døde Ben og al Urenhed.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for all of you are like unto whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Saaledes synes ogsaa I vel udvortes retfærdige for Menneskene; men indvortes ere I fulde af Hykleri og Lovløshed.
Even so all of you also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within all of you are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Ve eder, I skriftkloge og Farisæere, I Hyklere! thi I bygge Profeternes Grave og pryde de retfærdiges Gravsteder og sige:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because all of you build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchers of the righteous,
30 Havde vi været til i vore Fædres Dage, da havde vi ikke været delagtige med dem i Profeternes Blod.
And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Altsaa give I eder selv det Vidnesbyrd, at I ere Sønner af dem, som have ihjelslaaet Profeterne.
Wherefore all of you be witnesses unto yourselves, that all of you are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Saa gører da ogsaa I eders Fædres Maal fuldt!
Fill all of you up then the measure of your fathers.
All of you serpents, all of you generation of vipers, how can all of you escape the damnation of hell? (Geenna g1067)
34 Derfor se, jeg sender til eder Profeter og vise og skriftkloge; nogle af dem skulle I slaa ihjel og korsfæste, og nogle af dem skulle I hudstryge i eders Synagoger og forfølge fra Stad til Stad,
Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them all of you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall all of you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 for at alt det retfærdige Blod skal komme over eder, som er udgydt paa Jorden, fra den retfærdige Abels Blod indtil Sakarias's, Barakias's Søns, Blod, hvem I sloge ihjel imellem Templet og Alteret.
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom all of you slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, alt dette skal komme over denne Slægt.
Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! som ihjelslaar Profeterne og stener dem, som ere sendte til dig, hvor ofte vilde jeg samle dine Børn, ligesom en Høne samler sine Kyllinger under Vingerne! Og I vilde ikke.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that kill the prophets, and stone them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together, even as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, and all of you would not!
38 Se, eders Hus lades eder øde!
Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39 Thi jeg siger eder: I skulle ingenlunde se mig fra nu af, indtil I sige: Velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn!‟
For I say unto you, All of you shall not see me henceforth, till all of you shall say, Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord.
