Matthæus 10
1 Og han kaldte sine tolv Disciple til sig og gav dem Magt over urene Ånder, til at uddrive dem og at helbrede enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
And he called to him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they might cast them out, and care every disease and every infirmity.
2 Og disse ere de tolv Apostles Navne: Først Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, og Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder,
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Filip og Bartholomæus, Thomas og Tolderen Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn, og Lebbæus med Tilnavn Thaddæus,
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Lebbæus, who was surnamed Thaddæus;
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forrådte ham.
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up.
5 Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: "Går ikke hen på Hedningers Vej, og går ikke ind i Samaritaners By!
These twelve Jesus sent forth after he had charged them, saying: Go not into the road that leads to the Gentiles, and enter not a city of the Samaritans.
6 Men går hellere hen til de fortabte Får af Israels Hus!
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Men på eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.
And as you go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Ånder! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
Cure the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
Provide for yourselves neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, to put into your purses,
10 ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
nor bag for your journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staffs: for the laborer is worthy of his support.
11 Men hvor I komme ind i en By eller Landsby, der skulle I spørge, hvem i den der er det værd, og der skulle I blive, indtil I drage bort.
Whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there make your home till you go away.
12 Men når I gå ind i Huset, da hilser det;
When you go into a house, salute it:
13 og dersom Huset er det værd, da komme eders Fred over det; men dersom det ikke er det værd, da vende eders Fred tilbage til eder!
and if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
14 Og dersom nogen ikke modtager eder og ej hører eders Ord, da går ud af det Hus eller den By og ryster Støvet af eders Fødder!
And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, det skal gå Sodomas og Gomorras Land tåleligere på Dommens Dag end den By.
Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 Se, jeg sender eder som Får midt iblandt Ulve; vorder derfor snilde som Slanger og enfoldige som Duer!
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be, therefore, wise as serpents, and guileless as doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Rådsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
But beware of men: for they will deliver you to the councils, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 Men når de overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvad I skulle tale; thi det skal gives eder i den samme Time, hvad I skulle tale.
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what you shall speak; for that which you shall speak shall be given you in that hour:
20 Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Ånd, som taler i eder.
for it is not you that speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you.
21 Men Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn, og Børn skulle sætte sig op imod Forældre og slå dem ihjel.
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father the child; and children will rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld; men den, som holder ud indtil Enden, han skal blive frelst.
And you will be hated by all men on my account: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
23 Men når de forfølge eder i een By, da flyr til en anden; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle ikke komme til Ende med Israels Byer, førend Menneskesønnen kommer.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for verily I say to you, You will not have made the circuit of the cities of Israel before the Son of man shall come.
24 En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his master.
25 Det er Disciplen nok, at han bliver som sin Mester, og Tjeneren som sin Herre. Have de kaldt Husbonden Beelzebul, hvor meget mere da hans Husfolk?
It is enough for the disciple, that he be as his teacher; and for the servant, that he be as his master. If they call the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household?
26 Frygter altså ikke for dem; thi intet er skjult, som jo skal åbenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
Fear them not, therefore; for there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be made known.
27 Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker på Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!
What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light: and what you hear in the ear, preach on the house-tops.
28 Og frygter ikke for dem, som slå Legemet ihjel, men ikke kunne slå Sjælen ihjel; men frygter hellere for ham, som kan fordærve både Sjæl og Legeme i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Sælges ikke to Spurve for en Penning? Og ikke een af dem falder til Jorden uden eders Faders Villie.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and yet not one of them shall fall upon the ground with out your Father.
30 Men på eder ere endog alle Hovedhår talte.
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
Fear not, therefore: you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Altså, enhver som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg vedkende mig for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
Whoever, therefore, will confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
But whoever will deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at bringe Fred på Jorden; jeg er ikke kommen for at bringe Fred, men Sværd.
Think not that I have come to send peace on the earth. I have not come to send peace, but a sword.
35 Thi jeg er kommen før at volde Splid imellem en Mand og hans Fader og imellem en Datter og hendes Moder og imellem en Svigerdatter og hendes Svigermoder,
For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law:
36 og en Mands Husfolk skulle være hans Fjender.
and a man’s enemies shall be those of his own household.
37 Den, som elsker Fader eller Moder mere end mig, er mig ikke værd; og den, som elsker Søn eller Datter mere end mig, er mig ikke værd;
He that loves father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me:
38 og den, som ikke tager sit Kors og følger efter mig, er mig ikke værd.
and whoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39 Den, som bjærger sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, skal bjærge det.
He that finds his life shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake, shall find it.
40 Den, som modtager eder, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som udsendte mig.
He that receives you, receives me: and he that receives me, receives him that sent me.
41 Den, som modtager en Profet, fordi han er en Profet, skal få en Profets Løn; og den, som modtager en retfærdig, fordi han er en retfærdig, skal få en retfærdigs Løn.
He that receives a prophet because he is a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward: and he that receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 Og den, som giver en af disse små ikkun et Bæger koldt Vand at drikke, fordi han er en Discipel, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal ingenlunde miste sin Løn."
And whoever will give one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink, because he is a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
