Matthæus 20
1 Thi Himmeriges Rige ligner en Husbond, som gik ud tidligt om Morgenen for at leje Arbejdere til sin Vingård.
For the kingdom of heaven is like a man, the lord of a house, who went out, at dawn of day, to hire laborers for his vineyard.
2 Og da han var bleven enig med Arbejderne om en Denar om Dagen, sendte han dem til sin Vingård.
And he contracted with the labors for a denarius a day: and sent them into his vineyard.
3 Og han gik ud ved den tredje Time og så andre stå ledige på Torvet,
And he went out at the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the market-place:
4 og han sagde til dem: Går også I hen i Vingården, og jeg vil give eder, hvad som ret er. Og de gik derhen.
and he said to them, Go ye also into my vineyard, and what is right I will give you;
5 Han gik atter ud ved den sjette og niende Time og gjorde ligeså.
and they went. And again he went out at the sixth and ninth hours, and did the same.
6 Og ved den ellevte Time gik han ud og fandt andre stående der, og han siger til dem: Hvorfor stå I her ledige hele Dagen?
And about the eleventh hour, he went out and found others who were standing and idle; and he said to them: Why stand ye all the day, and are idle?
7 De sige til ham: Fordi ingen lejede os. Han siger til dem: Går også I hen i Vingården!
They say to him, Because no one hath hired us. He saith to them: Go ye also into the vineyard; and what is right ye shall receive.
8 Men da det var blevet Aften, siger Vingårdens Herre til sin Foged: Kald på Arbejderne, og betal dem deres Løn, idet du begynder med de sidste og ender med de første!
And when it was evening, the lord of the vineyard said to his steward: Call the laborers, and give them their wages; and commence with the last, and proceed to the first.
9 Og de, som vare lejede ved den ellevte Time, kom og fik hver en Denar.
And those of the eleventh hour came, and received each a denarius.
10 Men da de første kom, mente de, at de skulde få mere; og også de fik hver en Denar.
And when the first came, they supposed they should receive more; but they also received each a denarius.
11 Men da de fik den, knurrede de imod Husbonden og sagde:
And when they received it, they murmured against the lord of the house,
12 Disse sidste have kun arbejdet een Time, og du har gjort dem lige med os, som have båret Dagens Byrde og Hede.
and said: These last have labored but one hour, and thou hast made them equal with us who have borne the burden of the day and the heat of it.
13 Men han svarede og sagde til en af dem: Ven! jeg gør dig ikke Uret; er du ikke bleven enig med mig om en Denar?
But he answered, and said to one of them: My friend, I do thee no injustice: was it not for a denarius that thou didst contract with me?
14 Tag dit og gå! Men jeg vil give denne sidste ligesom dig.
Take what belongeth to thee, and go: for I am disposed to give to this last, as to thee.
15 Eller har jeg ikke Lov at gøre med mit, hvad jeg vil? Eller er dit Øje ondt, fordi jeg er god?
Is it not lawful for me, to do what I please with what belongeth to me; or is thy eye evil, because I am good?
16 Således skulle de sidste blive de første, og de første de sidste; thi mange ere kaldede, men få ere udvalgte."
Thus the last shall be first, and the first last: for the called are many, but the chosen are few.
17 Og da Jesus drog op til Jerusalem, tog han de tolv Disciple til Side og sagde til dem på Vejen:
And Jesus was about to go up to Jerusalem: and he took his twelve disciples aside, on the way, and said to them:
18 "Se, vi drage op til Jerusalem, og Menneskesønnen skal overgives til Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge; og de skulle dømme ham til Døden
Behold we are going to Jerusalem; and the Son of man will be delivered up to the chief priests and to the Scribes, and they will condemn him to death.
19 og overgive ham til Hedningerne til at spottes og hudstryges og korsfæstes; og på den tredje Dag skal han opstå."
And they will deliver him over to the Gentiles: and they will mock him, and will scourge him, and will crucify him; and the third day, he will arise.
20 Da gik Zebedæus's Sønners Moder til ham med sine Sønner og faldt ned for ham og vilde bede ham om noget.
Then came, to him the mother of Zebedee's children, she and her sons; and she worshipped him, and asked something from him.
21 Men han sagde til hende: "Hvad vil du?" Hun siger til ham: "Sig, at disse mine to Sønner skulle i dit Rige sidde den ene ved din højre, den anden ved din venstre Side."
And he said to her, What desirest thou? She said to him: Say, that these my two sons shall sit, the one on thy right hand and the other on thy left, in thy kingdom.
22 Men Jesus svarede og sagde: "I vide ikke, hvad I bede om. Kunne I drikke den Kalk, som jeg skal drikke?" De sige til ham: "Det kunne vi."
Jesus answered and said: Ye know not what ye ask for. Can ye drink of the cup, of which I am to drink? or be baptized with the baptism, that I am baptized with? They say to him: We can.
23 Han siger til dem: "Min Kalk skulle I vel drikke; men det at sidde ved min højre og ved min venstre Side tilkommer det ikke mig at give; men det gives til dem, hvem det er beredt af min Fader."
He saith to them: Ye will indeed drink of my cup, and will be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with: but that ye should sit on my right hand and on my left, is not mine to give, except to those for whom it is prepared by my Father.
24 Og da de ti hørte dette, bleve de vrede på de to Brødre.
And when the ten heard it, they were angry against the two brothers.
25 Men Jesus kaldte dem til sig og sagde: "I vide, at Folkenes Fyrster herske over dem, og de store bruge Myndighed over dem.
And Jesus called them, and said to them: Ye know that the princes of the nations are their lords, and their great men exercise authority over them.
26 Således skal det ikke være iblandt eder; men den, som vil blive stor iblandt eder, han skal være eders Tjener;
Not so shall it be among you. But whoever among you desireth to be great, let him be to you, a ministerer:
27 og den, som vil være den ypperste iblandt eder, han skal være eders Træl.
and whoever among you desireth to be first, let him be your servant:
28 Ligesom Menneskesønnen ikke er kommen for at lade sig tjene, men for at tjene og give sit Liv til en Genløsning for mange."
even as the Son of man came, not to be served, but to serve; and to give his life a ransom for many.
29 Og da de gik ud af Jeriko, fulgte en stor Folkeskare ham.
And as Jesus passed out of Jericho, a great multitude followed him.
30 Og se, to blinde sade ved Vejen, og da de hørte, at Jesus gik forbi, råbte de og sagde: "Herre, forbarm dig over os, du Davids Søn!"
And lo, two blind men were sitting by the way side. And when they heard that Jesus was passing, they called out, and said: Have compassion on us, my Lord, thou son of David!
31 Men Skaren truede dem, at de skulde tie; men de råbte endnu stærkere og sagde: "Herre, forbarm dig over os, du Davids Søn!"
And the multitudes rebuked them, that they might be silent. But they raised their voice the more, and said: Our Lord, have compassion on us, thou son of David.
32 Og Jesus stod stille og kaldte på dem og sagde: "Hvad ville I, at jeg skal gøre for eder?"
And Jesus stopped, and called them, and said: What wish ye, that I should do for you?
33 De sige til ham: "Herre! at vore Øjne måtte oplades."
They said to him: Our Lord, that our eyes may be opened.
34 Og Jesus ynkedes inderligt og rørte ved deres Øjne. Og straks bleve de seende, og de fulgte ham.
And he had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes were opened, and they followed him.
