Markus 2
1 Og da han nogle Dage derefter atter gik ind i Kapernaum, spurgtes det, at han var hjemme.
A few days later Jesus returned home to Capernaum, and news spread that he was there.
2 Og der samledes mange, så at der ikke mere var Plads, end ikke foran Døren; og han talte Ordet til dem.
So many people crowded inside the house that it was packed, even outside the door, as Jesus told them the message.
3 Og de komme og bringe til ham en værkbruden, der blev båren af fire.
Four men had brought a man who was paralyzed,
4 Og da de ikke kunde komme nær til ham for Folkeskaren, toge de Taget af, hvor han var; og da de havde brudt Hul, firede de Sengen ned, hvorpå den værkbrudne lå.
but they could not get near Jesus because of the crowds. So they went up on the roof and took it apart. After they had made an opening above Jesus, they lowered down the mat with the paralyzed man lying on it.
5 Og da Jesus så deres Tro, siger han til den værkbrudne: "Søn! dine Synder ere forladte."
When Jesus saw the trust these men had, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.”
6 Men nogle af de skriftkloge sade der og tænkte i deres Hjerter:
Some of the religious teachers sitting there thought to themselves,
7 "Hvorfor taler denne således? Han taler bespotteligt. Hvem kan forlade Synder uden een, nemlig Gud?"
“Why is he talking like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins? Only God can do that!”
8 Og Jesus kendte straks i sin Ånd, at de tænkte således ved sig selv, og sagde til dem: "Hvorfor tænke I dette i eders Hjerter?
Jesus knew right away what they were thinking. He said to them, “Why are you thinking like this?
9 Hvilket er lettest, at sige til den værkbrudne: Dine Synder ere forladte, eller at sige: Stå op, og tag din Seng, og gå?
What's easier: to say to the paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and walk’?
10 Men for at I skulle vide, at Menneskesønnen har Magt på Jorden til at forlade Synder," siger han til den værkbrudne:
But to convince you that the Son of man has the right to forgive sins,
11 "Jeg siger dig: Stå op, tag din Seng, og gå til dit Hus!"
I say to you (the paralyzed man), ‘Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.’”
12 Og han stod op og tog straks Sengen og gik ud for alles Øjne, så de alle bleve forfærdede og priste Gud og sagde: "Aldrig have vi set noget sådant."
He stood up, picked up his mat, and walked out in front of everyone there. They were all amazed, and praised God, saying “We've never ever seen anything like this!”
13 Og han gik atter ud langs Søen, og hele Skaren kom til ham, og han lærte dem.
Jesus went out beside the sea once more and taught the crowds that came to him.
14 Og da han gik forbi, så han Levi, Alfæus's Søn sidde ved Toldboden, og han siger til ham: "Følg mig!" Og han stod op og fulgte ham.
As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax-collector's booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him. Levi got up and followed Jesus.
15 Og det skete, at han sad til Bords i hans Hus, og mange Toldere og Syndere sade til Bords med Jesus, og hans Disciple; thi de vare mange. Og der fulgte også
That evening Jesus ate dinner at Levi's house. Many tax collectors and “sinners” joined Jesus and his disciples for the meal, for there were many of these people that followed Jesus.
16 nogle skriftkloge af Farisæerne med ham, og da de så, at han spiste med Toldere og Syndere, sagde de til hans Disciple: "Han spiser og drikker med Toldere og Syndere!"
When the religious leaders of the Pharisees saw Jesus eating with such people, they asked Jesus' disciples, “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”
17 Og da Jesus hørte det, siger han til dem: "De raske trænge ikke til Læge, men de syge. Jeg er ikke kommen for at kalde retfærdige, men Syndere."
When Jesus heard this, he told them, “It's not healthy people who need a doctor, but those who are sick. I haven't come to invite those who live right, but those who don't—the sinners.”
18 Og Johannes's Disciple og Farisæerne fastede, og de komme og sige til ham: "Hvorfor faste Johannes's Disciple og Farisæernes Disciple, men dine Disciple faste ikke?"
Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. Some of them came to Jesus, and asked him, “Why is it that John's disciples and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples don't?”
19 Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Kunne Brudesvendene faste, medens Brudgommen er hos dem? Så længe de have Brudgommen hos sig kunne de ikke faste.
“Do wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them?” Jesus asked them. “No. While the bridegroom's with them, they can't fast.
20 Men der skal komme Dage, da Brudgommen bliver tagen fra dem, da skulle de faste på den Dag.
But the day is coming when the bridegroom will be taken from them, and then they'll fast.
21 Ingen syr en Lap af uvalket Klæde på et gammelt Klædebon; ellers river den nye Lap på det gamle Klædebon dette itu, og der bliver et værre Hul.
No one puts a patch that's not shrunk on old clothes. Otherwise the new piece will shrink away from the old, and make the tear worse.
22 Og ingen kommer ung Vin på gamle Læderflasker; ellers sprænger Vinen Læderflaskerne, og Vinen ødelægges såvel som Læderflaskerne; men kom ung Vin på nye Læderflasker!"
No one puts new wine in old wineskins. Otherwise the wine will burst the wineskins, and both the wine and wineskins will be wasted. No. You put new wine in new wineskins.”
23 Og det skete, at han vandrede på Sabbaten igennem en Sædemark, og hans Disciple begyndte, imedens de gik, at plukke Aks.
One Sabbath day as Jesus was walking through the grain fields, his disciples started picking heads of grain as they walked along.
24 Og Farisæerne sagde til ham: "Se, hvorfor gøre de på Sabbaten, hvad der ikke er tilladt?"
The Pharisees asked Jesus, “Look, why are they doing what is not permitted on the Sabbath?”
25 Og han siger til dem "Have I aldrig læst, hvad David gjorde, da han kom i Nød og blev hungrig, han selv og de, som vare med ham?
“Haven't you ever read what David did when he and his men were hungry and in need?” Jesus asked them.
26 Hvorledes han gik ind i Guds Hus, da Abiathar var Ypperstepræst, og spiste Skuebrødene, som det ikke er nogen tilladt at spise uden Præsterne, og gav også dem, som vare med ham?"
“He went into God's house when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the consecrated bread which no one except the priests are permitted to eat, and gave it to his men too.”
27 Og han sagde til dem: "Sabbaten blev til for Menneskets Skyld og ikke Mennesket for Sabbatens Skyld.
“The Sabbath was made for your benefit, not for you to benefit the Sabbath,” he told them.
28 Derfor er Menneskesønnen Herre også over Sabbaten."
“So the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath.”
