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 himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
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 the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and 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 tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forrådte ham.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: "Går ikke hen på Hedningers Vej, og går ikke ind i Samaritaners By!
Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
6 Men går hellere hen til de fortabte Får af Israels Hus!
Rather, go 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, proclaim, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
8 Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Ånder! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
10 ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
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.
And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
12 Men når I gå ind i Huset, da hilser det;
And as you enter into the household, greet 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 household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace 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 does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave 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.
Truly I tell you, it will 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!
"Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Rådsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
18 Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
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 over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
20 Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Ånd, som taler i eder.
For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who 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.
"And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against 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 everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will 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 one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
"A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
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 like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called 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.
Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be 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 the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
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 do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. 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 an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
30 Men på eder ere endog alle Hovedhår talte.
but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
Therefore do not be afraid. 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.
Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will 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 denies me before people, him I will 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.
"Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did 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 came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 og en Mands Husfolk skulle være hans Fjender.
And a person's foes will 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;
Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever 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.
Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 Den, som modtager eder, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som udsendte mig.
Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who 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.
The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person'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 gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
