Lukas 12
1 Da imidlertid mange Tusinde Mennesker havde samlet sig, så at de trådte på hverandre, begyndte han at sige til sine Disciple: "Tager eder først og fremmest i Vare for Farisæernes Surdejg, som er Hykleri.
At which time the myriads of the multitude having been gathered together, so as to tread on one another, He began to say to His disciples, first, “Take heed to yourselves of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
2 Men intet er skjult, som jo skal åbenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
and there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hid that will not be known;
3 Derfor, alt hvad I have sagt i Mørket, skal høres i Lyset; og hvad I have talt i Øret i Kamrene, skal blive prædiket på Tagene.
because whatever you said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you spoke to the ear in the inner-chambers will be proclaimed on the housetops.
4 Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slå Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formå at gøre mere.
And I say to you, my friends, do not be afraid of those killing the body, and after these things are not having anything more to do;
5 Men jeg vil vise eder, for hvem I skulle frygte: Frygter for ham, som har Magt til, efter at have slået ihjel, at kaste i Helvede; ja, jeg siger eder: Frygter for ham! (Geenna g1067)
but I will show to you whom you may fear: fear Him who, after the killing, is having authority to cast into Gehenna; yes, I say to you, fear Him. (Geenna g1067)
6 Sælges ikke fem Spurve for to Penninge? og ikke een af dem er glemt hos Gud.
Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? And one of them is not forgotten before God,
7 Ja, endog Hårene på eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
but even the hairs of your head have all been numbered; therefore do not fear, you are of more value than many sparrows.
8 Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil også Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
And I say to you, everyone who may confess in Me before men, the Son of Man will also confess in him before the messengers of God,
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
and he who has denied Me before men, will be denied before the messengers of God,
10 Og enhver, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som har talt bespotteligt imod den Helligånd, ham skal det ikke forlades.
and everyone who will say a word to the Son of Man, it will be forgiven to him, but the [one] having slandered to the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.
11 Men når de føre eder frem for Synagogerne og Øvrighederne og Myndighederne, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvormed I skulle forsvare eder, eller hvad I skulle sige.
And when they bring you before the synagogues, and the rulers, and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you may reply, or what you may say,
12 Thi den Helligånd skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige."
for the Holy Spirit will teach you in that hour what [you] should say.”
13 Men en af Skaren sagde til ham: "Mester! sig til min Broder, at han skal dele Arven med mig."
And a certain one out of the multitude said to Him, “Teacher, say to my brother to divide with me the inheritance.”
14 Men han sagde til ham: "Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?"
And He said to him, “Man, who set Me a judge or a divider over you?”
15 Og han sagde til dem: "Ser til og vogter eder for al Havesyge; thi ingens Liv beror på, hvad han ejer, selv om han har Overflod."
And He said to them, “Observe, and beware of the covetousness, because his life is not in the abundance of one’s goods.”
16 Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: "Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde båret godt.
And He spoke an allegory to them, saying, “Of a certain rich man the field brought forth well;
17 Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
and he was reasoning within himself, saying, What will I do, because I have nowhere I will gather together my fruits?
18 Og han sagde: Dette vil jeg gøre, jeg vil nedbryde mine Lader og bygge dem større, og jeg vil samle deri al min Afgrøde og mit Gods;
And he said, This I will do, I will take down my storehouses, and I will build greater ones, and I will gather together there all my products and my good things,
19 og jeg vil sige til min Sjæl: Sjæl! du har mange gode Ting liggende for mange År; slå dig til Ro, spis, drik, vær lystig!
and I will say to my soul, Soul, you have many good things laid up for many years, be resting, eat, drink, be merry.
20 Men Gud sagde til ham: Du Dåre! i denne Nat kræves din Sjæl af dig; men hvem skal det høre til. som du har beredt?
And God said to him, Unthinking [one]! This night your life is required of you, and what things you prepared—to whom will they be [given]?
21 Således er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud."
So [is] he who is treasuring up to himself, and is not rich toward God.”
22 Men han sagde til sine Disciple: "Derfor siger jeg eder: Bekymrer eder ikke for Livet, hvad I skulle spise; ikke heller for Legemet, hvad I skulle iføre eder.
And He said to His disciples, “Because of this, to you I say, do not be anxious for your life, what you may eat; nor for the body, what you may put on;
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
life is more than nourishment, and the body than clothing.
24 Giver Agt på Ravnene, at de hverken så eller høste og de have ikke Forrådskammer eller Lade, og Gud føder dem; hvor langt mere værd end Fuglene ere dog I?
Consider the ravens, that they do not sow, nor reap, to which there is no barn nor storehouse, and God nourishes them; how much better are you than the birds?
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
And who of you, being anxious, is able to add to his age one cubit?
26 Formå I altså ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
If, then, you are not able for the least—why are you anxious for the rest?
27 Giver Agt på Lillierne, hvorledes de vokse; de arbejde ikke og spinde ikke; men jeg siger eder: End ikke Salomon i al sin Herlighed var klædt som en af dem.
Consider the lilies, how do they grow? They do not labor, nor do they spin, and I say to you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these;
28 Klæder da Gud således det Græs på Marken, som i Dag står og i Morgen kastes i Ovnen, hvor meget mere eder, I lidettroende!
and if the herbage in the field, that today is, and tomorrow is cast into an oven, God so clothes, how much more you of little faith?
29 Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
And you—do not seek what you may eat, or what you may drink, and do not be in suspense,
30 Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
for the nations of the world seek after all these things, and your Father has known that you have need of these things;
31 Men søger hans Rige, så skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
but seek the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you.
32 Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
Do not fear, little flock, because your Father delighted to give you the kingdom;
33 Sælger, hvad I eje, og giver Almisse! Gører eder Punge, som ikke ældes, en Skat i Himlene, som ikke slipper op, der hvor ingen Tyv kommer nær, og intet Møl ødelægger.
sell your goods, and give alms, make to yourselves bags that do not become old, a treasure unfailing in the heavens, where thief does not come near, nor moth destroy;
34 Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil også eders Hjerte være.
for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
35 Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
Let your loins be girded, and the lamps burning,
36 Og værer I ligesom Mennesker, der vente på deres Herre, når han vil bryde op fra Brylluppet, for at de straks, når han kommer og banker på, kunne lukke op for ham.
and you [be] like to men waiting for their lord when he will return out of the wedding feasts, that he having come and knocked, immediately they may open to him.
37 Salige ere de Tjenere, som Herren finder vågne, når han kommer. Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at han skal binde op om sig og sætte dem til Bords og gå om og varte dem op,
Blessed those servants, whom the lord, having come, will find watching; truly I say to you that he will gird himself, and will cause them to recline, and having come near, will minister to them;
38 Og dersom han kommer i den anden Nattevagt og kommer i den tredje Nattevagt og finder det således, da ere disse Tjenere salige.
and if he may come in the second watch, and in the third watch he may come, and may find [it] so, blessed are those servants.
39 Men dette skulle I vide, at dersom Husbonden vidste, i hvilken Time Tyven vilde komme, da vågede han og tillod ikke, at der skete Indbrud i hans Hus.
And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief comes, he would have watched, and would not have permitted his house to be broken through;
40 Vorder også I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene."
and you, then, become ready, because at the hour you do not think, the Son of Man comes.”
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: "Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller også til alle?"
And Peter said to Him, “Lord, do You speak this allegory to us, or also to all?”
42 Og Herren sagde: "Hvem er vel den tro og forstandige Husholder, som Herren vil sætte over sit Tyende til at give dem den bestemte Kost i rette Tid?
And the LORD said, “Who, then, is the faithful and prudent steward whom the lord will set over his household, to give in season the wheat measure?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, når han kommer, finder handlende således.
Blessed that servant, whom his lord, having come, will find doing so;
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
truly I say to you that he will set him over all his goods.
45 Men dersom hin Tjener siger i sit Hjerte: "Min Herre tøver med at komme" og så begynder at slå Karlene og Pigerne og at spise og drikke og beruse sig,
And if that servant may say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and may begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat also, and to drink, and to be drunken,
46 da skal den Tjeners Herre komme på den Dag, han ikke venter, og i den Time, han ikke ved, og hugge ham sønder og give ham hans Lod sammen med de utro:
the lord of that servant will come in a day in which he does not look for [him], and in an hour that he does not know, and will cut him off, and he will appoint his portion with the unfaithful.
47 Men den Tjener, som har kendt sin Herres Villie og ikke har truffet Forberedelser eller handlet efter hans Villie, skal have mange Hug;
And that servant, who having known his lord’s will, and having not prepared, nor having gone according to his will, will be beaten with many stripes,
48 men den, som ikke har kendt den og har gjort, hvad der er Hug værd, skal have få Hug. Enhver, hvem meget er givet, af ham skal man kræve meget; og hvem meget er betroet, af ham skal man forlange mere.
and he who, not having known, and having done things worthy of stripes, will be beaten with few; and to everyone to whom much was given, much will be required from him; and to whom they committed much, more abundantly they will ask of him.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste på Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
I came to cast fire to the earth, and what I wish [is] if it were already kindled!
50 Men en Dåb har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
But I have an immersion to be immersed with, and how I am pressed until it may be accomplished!
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred på Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid,
Do you think that I came to give peace in the earth? No, I say to you, but rather division;
52 Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
for there will be from now on five in one house divided—three against two, and two against three;
53 De skulle være i Splid, Fader med Søn og Søn med Fader, Moder med Datter og Datter med Moder, Svigermoder med sin Svigerdatter og Svigerdatter med sin Svigermoder."
a father will be divided against a son, and a son against a father, a mother against a daughter, and a daughter against a mother, a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.”
54 Men han sagde også til Skarerne: "Når I se en Sky komme op i Vester, sige I straks: Der kommer Regn, og det sker således.
And He also said to the multitudes, “When you may see the cloud rising from the west, immediately you say, A shower comes, and it is so;
55 Og når I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede: og det sker.
and when a south wind is blowing, you say that there will be heat, and it is;
56 I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
hypocrites! You have known to discern the face of the earth and of the sky, but how do you not discern this time?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke også fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
And why, also, of yourselves, do you not judge what is righteous?
58 Thi medens du går hen med din Modpart til Øvrigheden, da gør dig Flid på Vejen for at blive forligt med ham, for at han ikke skal trække dig for Dommeren, og Dommeren skal overgive dig til Slutteren, og Slutteren skal kaste dig i Fængsel.
For as you are going away with your opponent to the ruler, in the way give diligence to be released from him, lest he may drag you to the judge, and the judge may deliver you to the officer, and the officer may cast you into prison;
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du får betalt endog den sidste Skærv."
I say to you, you may not come forth from there until even the last mite you may give back.”
