Matthæus 4
1 Da blev Jesus af Aanden ført op i Ørkenen for at fristes af Djævelen.
Then Jesus was led up into the Wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the Devil.
2 Og da han havde fastet fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, blev han omsider hungrig.
And, after he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he became hungry.
3 Og Fristeren gik til ham og sagde: „Er du Guds Søn, da sig, at disse Stene skulle blive Brød.‟
And the Tempter came to him, and said: “If you are God’s Son, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
4 Men han svarede og sagde: „Der er skrevet: Mennesket skal ikke leve af Brød alene, men af hvert Ord, som udgaar igennem Guds Mund.‟
But Jesus answered: “Scripture says — ‘It is not on bread alone that man is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 Da tager Djævelen ham med sig til den hellige Stad og stiller ham paa Helligdommens Tinde og siger til ham:
Then the Devil took him to the Holy City, and, placing him on the parapet of the temple, said to him:
6 „Er du Guds Søn, da kast dig herned; thi der er skrevet: Han skal give sine Engle Befaling om dig, og de skulle bære dig paa Hænder, for at du ikke skal støde din Fod paa nogen Sten.‟
“If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down, for Scripture says — ‘He will give his angels commands about thee, and on their hands they will upbear thee, lest ever thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus sagde til ham: „Der er atter skrevet: Du maa ikke friste Herren din Gud.‟
“Scripture also says,” answered Jesus, “Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’”
8 Atter tager Djævelen ham med sig op paa et saare højt Bjerg og viser ham alle Verdens Riger og deres Herlighed; og han sagde til ham:
The third time, the Devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and, showing him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour, said to him:
9 „Alt dette vil jeg give dig, dersom du vil falde ned og tilbede mig.‟
“All these I will give you, if you will fall at my feet and do homage to me.”
10 Da siger Jesus til ham: „Vig bort, Satan! thi der er skrevet: Du skal tilbede Herren din Gud og tjene ham alene.‟
Then Jesus said to him: “Begone, Satan! for Scripture says — ‘Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and worship him only.’”
11 Da forlader Djævelen ham, og se, Engle kom til ham og tjente ham.
Then the Devil left him alone, and angels came and ministered to him.
12 Men da Jesus hørte, at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, drog han bort til Galilæa.
When Jesus heard that John had been committed to prison, he retired to Galilee.
13 Og han forlod Nazareth og kom og tog Bolig i Kapernaum, som ligger ved Søen, i Sebulons og Nafthalis Egne,
Afterwards, leaving Nazareth, he went and settled at Capernaum, which is by the side of the Sea, within the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali;
14 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
in fulfilment of these words in the Prophet Isaiah —
15 „Sebulons Land og Nafthalis Land langs Søen, Landet hinsides Jordan, Hedningernes Galilæa,
‘The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the land of the Road by the Sea, and beyond the Jordan, with Galilee of the Gentiles —
16 det Folk, som sad i Mørke, har set et stort Lys, og for dem, som sad i Dødens Land og Skygge, for dem er der opgaaet et Lys.‟
The people who were dwelling in darkness have seen a great Light, and, for those who were dwelling in the shadow-land of Death, a Light has risen!’
17 Fra den Tid begyndte Jesus at prædike og sige: „Omvender eder, thi Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.‟
At that time Jesus began to proclaim — “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
18 Men da han vandrede ved Galilæas Sø, saa han to Brødre, Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, i Færd med at kaste Garn i Søen; thi de vare Fiskere.
As Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers — Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew — casting a net into the Sea; for they were fishermen.
19 Og han siger til dem: „Følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gøre eder til Menneskefiskere.‟
“Come and follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will set you to fish for men.”
20 Og de forlode straks Garnene og fulgte ham.
The two men left their nets at once and followed him.
21 Og da han derfra gik videre, saa han to andre Brødre, Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder, i Skibet med deres Fader Zebedæus, i Færd med at bøde deres Garn, og han kaldte paa dem.
Going further on, he saw two other men who were also brothers, James, Zebediah’s son, and his brother John, in their boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus called them,
22 Og de forlode straks Skibet og deres Fader og fulgte ham.
and they at once left their boat and their father, and followed him.
23 Og Jesus gik omkring i hele Galilæa, idet han lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredte enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed iblandt Folket.
And Jesus went all through Galilee, teaching in their Synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness among the people;
24 Og hans Ry kom ud over hele Syrien; og de bragte til ham alle dem, som lede af mange Haande Sygdomme og vare plagede af Lidelser, baade besatte og maanesyge og værkbrudne; og han helbredte dem.
and his fame spread all through Syria. They brought to him all who were ill with any form of disease, or who were suffering pain — any who were either possessed by demons, or were lunatic, or paralysed; and he cured them.
25 Og store Skarer fulgte ham fra Galilæa og Dekapolis og Jerusalem og Judæa og fra Landet hinsides Jordan.
And he was followed by large crowds from Galilee, the district of the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
