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.
Meanwhile, when the crowd had gathered together by the thousands, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples: “Beware 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.
There is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be made 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.
Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in anyone's ear in private rooms 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.
“I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more they can 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 tell you whom you should fear: Fear him who has authority to throw you into hell after your body has been killed. Yes, I tell 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 pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God.
7 Ja, endog Hårene på eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
Indeed, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; 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.
“I tell you, everyone who acknowledges me before men, the Son of Man will also acknowledge before the angels of God,
9 Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
but whoever denies me before men will be denied before the angels 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 speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever blasphemes against 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.
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers, and authorities, do not be anxious about how or what you should speak in your own defense, or what you should 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 very 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."
Then someone from among the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.”
14 Men han sagde til ham: "Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?"
But Jesus said to him, “Man, who appointed me as a judge or arbitrator 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."
Then he said to them, “Watch out and be on your guard against covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”
16 Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: "Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde båret godt.
And he told them a parable: “The land of a certain rich man produced abundantly.
17 Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
So he thought to himself, ‘What should I do, for I do not have anywhere to store my crops?’
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;
Then he said, ‘This is what I will do: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my produce and my goods.
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, yoʋ have many goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, and 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?
But God said to him, ‘Yoʋ fool! This very night yoʋr life will be demanded back from yoʋ, and the things yoʋ have prepared, whose will they be?’
21 Således er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud."
This is how it will be with anyone who lays up treasure for 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.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, or about your body, what you will wear.
23 Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
Life is more than food, and the body is more 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: They do not sow or reap; they have no storehouse or barn, yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than birds?
25 Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
Which of you by being anxious can add a single moment to yoʋr span of life?
26 Formå I altså ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
If then you cannot even do a very little thing like that, why are you anxious about 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 they grow: They do not toil or spin, yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like 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!
Now if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?
29 Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
And do not be concerned about what you will eat or what you will drink; do not be anxious about such things.
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 knows that you need them.
31 Men søger hans Rige, så skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
Rather, 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 be afraid, little flock, for your Father is pleased 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 possessions and give to the needy. Make yourselves moneybags that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys.
34 Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil også eders Hjerte være.
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
35 Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
“Be dressed for service and keep your 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.
like men who are waiting for their master to return from a wedding feast, so that they can immediately open the door for him when he comes and knocks.
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 are those servants whom their master finds keeping watch when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will dress himself for service and have them recline at the table, and he will come and serve 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.
If he comes in the second watch or the third watch and finds them doing 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.
But know this: If the master of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
40 Vorder også I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene."
Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you do not expect him.”
41 Men Peter sagde til ham: "Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller også til alle?"
Then Peter said to him, “Lord, are yoʋ telling this parable only for us, or for everyone else as well?”
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?
The Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise steward, whom his master will set over his household, to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
43 Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, når han kommer, finder handlende således.
Blessed is that servant whom his master finds doing so when he comes.
44 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
Truly I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.
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,
But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delayed in coming,’ and he begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and drink and get drunk,
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 master of that servant will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee, and will cut him in two and assign his portion to be 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;
That servant who knew his master's will, but did not prepare himself or act according to his will, will be beaten with many lashes.
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.
But the one who did not know his master's will, yet did what deserved a beating, will be beaten with few lashes. From everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from him to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded.
49 Ild er jeg kommen at kaste på Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
“I have come to bring fire to the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
50 Men en Dåb har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how consumed I am with it until it is completed!
51 Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred på Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid,
Do you think I have come to grant peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.
52 Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
For from now on five in one household will be 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."
Father will be divided against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and 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.
Jesus also said to the crowds, “When you see a cloud rising from the west, you immediately say, ‘A rainstorm is coming,’ and that is what happens.
55 Og når I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede: og det sker.
And when you see the south wind blowing, you say, ‘There will be scorching heat,’ and it happens.
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 know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky, so why can you not interpret this present time?
57 Og hvorfor dømme I ikke også fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
“Why do you not judge for yourselves what is right?
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.
As yoʋ are going with yoʋr adversary before the magistrate, make an effort to settle with him on the way, lest he drag yoʋ to the judge, and the judge hand yoʋ over to the officer, and the officer throw yoʋ into prison.
59 Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du får betalt endog den sidste Skærv."
I tell yoʋ, yoʋ will certainly not come out of there until yoʋ have paid the very last cent.”
