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 when Jesus had ended these discourses, he removed from Galilee, and came to the confines of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.
2 Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.
And great multitudes followed after him, and he healed them 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 Pharisees came to him, and tempted him and said: Is it lawful for a man to divorce 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 answered and said to them: Have ye not read, that he who made them at the beginning, made them a male and a female?
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?
And he said: For this reason, a man shall leave his father and his mother, and adhere to his wife; and they two shall be one flesh.
6 Således ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, må et Menneske ikke adskille."
Wherefore they were not two, but one flesh. What therefore God hath united, let not man sunder.
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 command to give a bill of divorce, and to put her away?
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 said to them: Moses, on account of the hardness of your heart, permitted you to divorce your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
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, That whoever leaveth his wife not being an adulteress, and taketh another, committeth adultery. And whoever taketh her that is divorced, committeth adultery.
10 Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Står Mandens Sag med Hustruen således, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig."
His disciples say to him: If such is the case between man and wife, it is not expedient to take a wife.
11 Men han sagde til dem: "Ikke alle rummer dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:
But he said to them: Not every one is capable of that thing, but he only 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 some eunuchs, born so from their mother's womb; and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs by men; and there are some eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He that can be contented let him be contented.
13 Da blev der båret små Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne på dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.
Then they brought children to him, that he might lay his hand upon them and pray. And his disciples rebuked 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 to them: Allow children to come to me, and forbid them not; for of those that are like them is the kingdom of heaven.
15 Og han lagde Hænderne på dem, og han drog derfra.
And he laid his hand upon them, and departed from there.
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, drew near, and said to him: Good Teacher, what good thing must I do, that eternal life may be mine? (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 callest thou me good? There is none good, except one, namely, God. But if thou wouldst enter into life, keep the commandments.
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 said to him, Which? And Jesus said to him: Thou shalt not kill; and thou shalt not commit adultery; and thou shalt not steal; and thou shalt not bear false testimony;
19 ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv."
and honor thy father and thy mother; and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
20 Den unge Mand siger til ham: "Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?"
The young man saith to him: All these have I kept from my childhood. What do I lack?
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 saith to him: If thou desirest to be perfect, go, sell thy property, and give to the poor; and there shall be for thee a treasure in heaven; and come thou after me.
22 Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.
And the young man heard that speech, and he went away in sadness; 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: Verily I say to you, it is difficult for a rich man to enter 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 easier for a camel to enter the aperture of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
25 Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de såre og sagde: "Hvem kan da blive frelst?"
And when the disciples heard it, they wondered greatly, and said: Who then can attain to life!
26 Men Jesus så på dem og sagde: "For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige."
Jesus looked on them, and said to them: With men this is not practicable, but with God every thing is practicable.
27 Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: "Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?"
Then answered Cephas, and said to him: Lo, we have forsaken every thing, and come after thee: What therefore shall we receive?
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.
Jesus said to them: Verily I say to you, that, as for you who have followed me, when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory in the new world, ye also shall sit on twelve seats, and shall judge 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 every man that relinquisheth houses, or brothers or sisters, or father or mother, or wife or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
30 Men mange af de første skulle blive de sidste, og af de sidste de første.
But there are many first who shall be last, and last who shall be first.
