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.
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to heal all kinds of disease and all kinds of 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 were these. The first, Simon (whom he also called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James 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 son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forrådte ham.
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who would betray him.
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 out. He instructed them and said, “Do not go to any place where Gentiles live, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans.
6 Men går hellere hen til de fortabte Får af Israels Hus!
Go instead 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 and say, 'The kingdom of heaven has come 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, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
Do not carry any gold, silver, or copper in 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.
Do not take a traveling bag for your journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals, or a staff, for a laborer deserves 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.
Whatever city or village you enter, find who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
12 Men når I gå ind i Huset, da hilser det;
As you enter into the house, 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!
If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace come back 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!
As for those who do not receive you or listen to your words, when you depart from that house or 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 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!
See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Rådsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
Watch out for people! They will deliver you up to councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues.
18 Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
Then you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to 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.
When they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you will speak, for what to say will be given to 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 who will speak, but the Spirit of your Father who will speak 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 a father his child. 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.
You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end, that person 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.
When they persecute you in this city, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man has come.
24 En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a 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 should be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much worse would be the names they call the members 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 fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing 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, say in the daylight, and what you hear softly in your ear, proclaim upon 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)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul. Instead, 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 small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.
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.
Do not fear. You are more valuable 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.
Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, 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 he who denies me before men, 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 bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring 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 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.
A man's enemies 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;
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who 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.
He who does not pick up 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 who finds his life will lose it. But he who 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.
He who welcomes you welcomes me, and he who welcomes me also welcomes 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.
He who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who welcomes a righteous man because he is a righteous man will 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."
Whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
