Matthæus 9
1 Og han gik om Bord i et Skib og for over og kom til sin egen By.
Accordingly He went on board, and crossing over came to His own town.
2 Og se, de bare til ham en værkbruden, som laa paa en Seng; og da Jesus saa deres Tro, sagde han til den værkbrudne: „Søn! vær frimodig, dine Synder forlades dig.‟
Here they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. Seeing their faith Jesus said to the paralytic, "Take courage, my child; your sins are pardoned."
3 Og se, nogle af de skriftkloge sagde ved sig selv: „Denne taler bespotteligt.‟
"Such language is impious," said some of the Scribes among themselves.
4 Og da Jesus saa deres Tanker, sagde han: „Hvorfor tænke I ondt i eders Hjerter?
Knowing their thoughts Jesus said, "Why are you cherishing evil thoughts in your hearts?
5 Thi hvilket er lettest at sige: Dine Synder forlades dig, eller at sige: Staa op og gaa?
Why, which is easier? --to say, 'Your sins are pardoned,' or to say 'Rise up and walk'?
6 Men for at I skulle vide, at Menneskesønnen har Magt paa Jorden til at forlade Synder, ‟ da siger han til den værkbrudne: „Staa op, og tag din Seng, og gaa til dit Hus!‟
But, to prove to you that the Son of Man has authority on earth to pardon sins" --He then says to the paralytic, "Rise, and take up your bed and go home."
7 Og han stod op og gik bort til sit Hus.
And he got up, and went off home.
8 Men da Skarerne saa det, frygtede de og priste Gud, som havde givet Menneskene en saadan Magt.
And the crowds were awe-struck when they saw it, and ascribed the glory to God who had entrusted such power to a man.
9 Og da Jesus gik videre derfra, saa han en Mand, som hed Matthæus, sidde ved Toldboden; og han siger til ham: „Følg mig!‟ Og han stod op og fulgte ham.
Passing on thence Jesus saw a man called Matthew sitting at the Toll Office, and said to him, "Follow me." And he arose, and followed Him.
10 Og det skete, da han sad til Bords i Huset, se, da kom der mange Toldere og Syndere og sade til Bords med Jesus og hans Disciple.
And while He was reclining at table, a large number of tax-gathers and notorious sinners were of the party with Jesus and His disciples.
11 Og da Farisæerne saa det, sagde de til hans Disciple: „Hvorfor spiser eders Mester med Toldere og Syndere?‟
The Pharisees noticed this, and they inquired of His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with the tax-gatherers and notorious sinners?"
12 Men da Jesus hørte det, sagde han: „De raske trænge ikke til Læge, men de syge.
He heard the question and replied, "It is not men in good health who require a doctor, but the sick.
13 Men gaar hen og lærer, hvad det vil sige: Jeg har Lyst til Barmhjertighed og ikke til Offer; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at kalde retfærdige, men Syndere.‟
But go and learn what this means, 'It is mercy that I desire, not sacrifice'; for I did not come to appeal to the righteous, but to sinners."
14 Da komme Johannes's Disciple til ham og sige: „Hvorfor faste vi og Farisæerne meget, men dine Disciple faste ikke?‟
At that time John's disciples came and asked Jesus, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?"
15 Og Jesus sagde til dem: „Kunne Brudesvendene sørge, saa længe Brudgommen er hos dem? Men der skal komme Dage, da Brudgommen bliver tagen fra dem, og da skulle de faste.
"Can the bridegroom's party mourn," He replied, "as long as the bridegroom is with them? But other days will come (when the Bridegroom has been taken from them) and then they will fast.
16 Men ingen sætter en Lap af uvalket Klæde paa et gammelt Klædebon; thi Lappen river Klædebonnet itu, og der bliver et værre Hul.
No one ever mends an old cloak with a patch of newly woven cloth. Otherwise, the patch put on would tear away some of the old, and a worse hole would be made.
17 Man kommer heller ikke ung Vin paa gamle Læderflasker, ellers sprænges Læderflaskerne, og Vinen spildes, og Læderflaskerne ødelægges; men man kommer ung Vin paa nye Læderflasker, saa blive begge Dele bevarede.‟
Nor do people pour new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the skins would split, the wine would escape, and the skins be destroyed. But they put new wine into fresh skins, and both are saved."
18 Medens han talte dette til dem, se, da kom der en Forstander og faldt ned for ham og sagde: „Min Datter er lige nu død; men kom og læg din Haand paa hende, saa bliver hun levende.‟
While He was thus speaking, a Ruler came up and profoundly bowing said, "My daughter is just dead; but come and put your hand upon her and she will return to life."
19 Og Jesus stod op og fulgte ham med sine Disciple.
And Jesus rose and followed him, as did also His disciples.
20 Og se, en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv Aar, traadte hen bagfra og rørte ved Fligen af hans Klædebon;
But a woman who for twelve years had been afflicted with haemorrhage came behind Him and touched the tassel of His cloak;
21 thi hun sagde ved sig selv: „Dersom jeg blot rører ved hans Klædebon, bliver jeg frelst.‟
for she said to herself, "If I but touch His cloak, I shall be cured."
22 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa hende, sagde han: „Datter! vær frimodig, din Tro har frelst dig.‟ Og Kvinden blev frelst fra den samme Time.
And Jesus turned and saw her, and said, "Take courage, daughter; your faith has cured you." And the woman was restored to health from that moment.
23 Og da Jesus kom til Forstanderens Hus og saa Fløjtespillerne og Hoben, som larmede, sagde han:
Entering the Ruler's house, Jesus saw the flute-players and the crowd loudly wailing,
24 „Gaar bort, thi Pigen er ikke død, men hun sover.‟ Og de lo ad ham.
and He said, "Go out of the room; the little girl is not dead, but asleep." And they laughed at Him.
25 Men da Hoben var dreven ud, gik han ind og tog hende ved Haanden; og Pigen stod op.
When however the place was cleared of the crowd, Jesus went in, and on His taking the little girl by the hand, she rose up.
26 Og Rygtet herom kom ud i hele den Egn.
And the report of this spread throughout all that district.
27 Og da Jesus gik bort derfra, fulgte der ham to blinde, som raabte og sagde: „Forbarm dig over os, du Davids Søn!‟
As Jesus passed on, two blind men followed Him, shouting and saying, "Pity us, Son of David."
28 Men da han kom ind i Huset, gik de blinde til ham; og Jesus siger til dem: „Tro I, at jeg kan gøre dette?‟ De sige til ham: „Ja, Herre!‟
And when He had gone indoors, they came to Him. "Do you believe that I can do this?" He asked them. "Yes, Sir," they replied.
29 Da rørte han ved deres Øjne og sagde: „Det ske eder efter eders Tro!‟
So He touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith let it be to you."
30 Og deres Øjne bleve aabnede. Og Jesus bød dem strengt og sagde: „Ser til, lad ingen faa det at vide.‟
Then their eyes were opened. And assuming a stern tone Jesus said to them, "Be careful to let no one know."
31 Men de gik ud og udbredte Rygtet om ham i hele den Egn.
But they went out and published His fame in all that district.
32 Men da disse gik ud, se, da førte de til ham et stumt Menneske, som var besat.
And as they were leaving His presence a dumb demoniac was brought to Him.
33 Og da den onde Aand var uddreven, talte den stumme. Og Skarerne forundrede sig og sagde: „Aldrig er saadant set i Israel.‟
When the demon was expelled, the dumb man could speak. And the crowds exclaimed in astonishment, "Never was such a thing seen in Israel."
34 Men Farisæerne sagde: „Ved de onde Aanders Fyrste uddriver han de onde Aander.‟
But the Pharisees maintained, "It is by the power of the Prince of the demons that he drives out the demons."
35 Og Jesus gik omkring i alle Byerne og Landsbyerne, lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredte enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
And Jesus continued His circuits through all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and curing every kind of disease and infirmity.
36 Men da han saa Skarerne, ynkedes han inderligt over dem; thi de vare vanrøgtede og forkomne som Faar, der ikke have Hyrde.
And when He saw the crowds He was touched with pity for them, because they were distressed and were fainting on the ground like sheep which have no shepherd.
37 Da siger han til sine Disciple: „Høsten er stor, men Arbejderne ere faa;
Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is abundant, but the reapers are few;
38 beder derfor Høstens Herre om, at han vil sende Arbejdere ud til sin Høst.‟
therefore entreat the Owner of the Harvest to send out reapers into His fields."
