Matthæus 19
1 Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Ord, drog han bort fra Galilæa og kom til Judæas Egne, hinsides Jordan.
And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
2 Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.
And a great number went after him; and he made them well there.
3 Og Farisæerne kom til ham, fristede ham og sagde: "Er det tilladt at skille sig fra sin Hustru af hvilken som helst Grund?"
And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?
4 Men han svarede og sagde: "Have I ikke læst, at Skaberen fra Begyndelsen skabte dem som Mand og Kvinde
And he said in answer, Have you not seen in the Writings, that he who made them at the first made them male and female, and said,
5 og sagde: Derfor skal en Mand forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og holde sig til sin Hustru, og de to skulle blive til eet Kød?
For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?
6 Således ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, må et Menneske ikke adskille."
So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. Then let not that which has been joined by God be parted by man.
7 De sige til ham: "Hvorfor bød da Moses at give et Skilsmissebrev og skille sig fra hende?"
They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?
8 Han siger til dem: "Moses tilstedte eder at skille eder fra eders Hustruer for eders Hjerters Hårdheds Skyld; men fra Begyndelsen har det ikke været således.
He says to them, Moses, because of your hard hearts, let you put away your wives: but it has not been so from the first.
9 Men jeg siger eder, at den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, når det ikke er for Hors Skyld, og tager en anden til Ægte, han bedriver Hor; og den, som tager en fraskilt Hustru til Ægte, han bedriver Hor."
And I say to you, Whoever puts away his wife for any other cause than the loss of her virtue, and takes another, is a false husband: and he who takes her as his wife when she is put away, is no true husband to her.
10 Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Står Mandens Sag med Hustruen således, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig."
The disciples say to him, If this is the position of a man in relation to his wife, it is better not to be married.
11 Men han sagde til dem: "Ikke alle rummer dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:
But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.
12 Thi der er Gildinger, som ere fødte således fra Moders Liv; og der er Gildinger, som ere gildede af Mennesker; og der er Gildinger, som have gildet sig selv for Himmeriges Riges Skyld. Den, som kan rumme det, han rumme det!"
For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.
13 Da blev der båret små Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne på dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.
Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.
14 Da sagde Jesus: "Lader de små Børn komme, og formener dem ikke at komme til mig; thi Himmeriges Rige hører sådanne til."
But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Og han lagde Hænderne på dem, og han drog derfra.
And he put his hands on them, and went away.
16 Og se, en kom til ham og sagde: "Mester! hvad godt skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan få et evigt Liv?" (aiōnios g166)
And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios g166)
17 Men han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor spørger du mig om det gode? Een er den gode. Men vil du indgå til Livet, da hold Budene!"
And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.
18 Han siger til ham: "Hvilke?" Men Jesus sagde: "Dette: Du må ikke slå ihjel; du må ikke bedrive Hor; du må ikke stjæle; du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd;
He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Do not put anyone to death, Do not be untrue in married life, Do not take what is not yours, Do not give false witness,
19 ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv."
Give honour to your father and your mother: and, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.
20 Den unge Mand siger til ham: "Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?"
The young man says to him, All these things have I done: what more is there?
21 Jesus sagde til ham: "Vil du være fuldkommen, da gå bort, sælg, hvad du ejer, og giv det til fattige, så skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom så og følg mig!"
Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.
22 Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.
But hearing these words the young man went away sorrowing: for he had much property.
23 Men Jesus sagde til sine Disciple: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder: En rig Kommer vanskeligt ind i Himmeriges Rige.
And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, It is hard for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of heaven.
24 Atter siger jeg eder: Det er lettere for en Kamel at gå igennem et Nåleøje end for en rig at gå ind i Guds Rige."
And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.
25 Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de såre og sagde: "Hvem kan da blive frelst?"
And the disciples, hearing this, were greatly surprised, saying, Who then may have salvation?
26 Men Jesus så på dem og sagde: "For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige."
And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.
27 Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: "Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?"
Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?
28 Men Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at i Igenfødelsen, når Menneskesønnen sidder på sin Herligheds Trone, skulle også I, som have fulgt mig, sidde på tolv Troner og dømme Israels tolv Stammer.
And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
29 Og hver, som har forladt Hus eller Brødre eller Søstre eller Fader eller Moder eller Hustru eller Børn eller Marker for mit Navns Skyld, skal få det mange Fold igen og arve et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Men mange af de første skulle blive de sidste, og af de sidste de første.
But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.
