< 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 having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
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,
And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James 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-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forrådte ham.
Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver 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 did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, 'To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
6 Men går hellere hen til de fortabte Får af Israels Hus!
and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Men på eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.
'And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
8 Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Ånder! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out — freely ye did receive, freely give.
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
'Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
10 ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff — for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
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 ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
12 Men når I gå ind i Huset, da hilser det;
And coming to the 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 indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn 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!
'And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of 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!
'Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Rådsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, 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.
and before governors and kings ye shall be brought 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.
'And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
20 Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Ånd, som taler i eder.
for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking 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 shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them 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 ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he 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.
'And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
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?
sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, 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.
'Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
27 Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker på Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!
that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim 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 )
'And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna. (Geenna )
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 assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
30 Men på eder ere endog alle Hovedhår talte.
and of you — even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
31 Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
32 Altså, enhver som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg vedkende mig for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
'Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
33 Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
34 Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at bringe Fred på Jorden; jeg er ikke kommen for at bringe Fred, men Sværd.
'Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put 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 variance 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 the enemies of a man are those of his 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 is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
38 og den, som ikke tager sit Kors og følger efter mig, er mig ikke værd.
and whoever doth not receive 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 found his life shall lose it, and he who lost 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 who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive 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 is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of 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 may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
