Matthæus 21
1 Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
And when they came near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,
2 "Går hen i den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder; og straks skulle I finde en Aseninde bunden og et Føl hos hende; løser dem og fører dem til mig!
saying to them, “Go on into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey bound, and a colt with her—having loosed, you bring to Me;
3 Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, så skal han straks sende dem."
and if anyone may say anything to you, you will say that the LORD has need of them, and immediately He will send them.”
4 Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
And all this came to pass, that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through the prophet, saying,
5 "Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende på et Asen og på et Trældyrs Føl."
“Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and mounted on a donkey, and a colt, a foal of a beast of burden.”
6 Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
And the disciples having gone and having done as Jesus commanded them,
7 og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder på dem, og han satte sig derpå.
brought the donkey and the colt, and put on them their garments, and set [Him] on them;
8 Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder på Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem på Vejen.
and the very great multitude spread their own garments in the way, and others were cutting branches from the trees, and were strewing in the way,
9 Men Skarerne, som gik foran ham og fulgte efter, råbte og sagde: "Hosanna Davids Søn! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Hosanna i det højeste!"
and the multitudes who were going before, and who were following, were crying, saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David, blessed is He who is coming in the Name of the LORD; Hosanna in the highest!”
10 Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: "Hvem er denne?"
And He having entered into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
11 Men Skarerne sagde: "Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa."
And the multitudes said, “This is Jesus the prophet, who [is] from Nazareth of Galilee.”
12 Og Jesus gik ind i Guds Helligdom og uddrev alle dem, som solgte og købte i Helligdommen, og han væltede Vekselerernes Borde og Duekræmmernes Stole.
And Jesus entered into the temple of God, and cast forth all those selling and buying in the temple, and the tables of the money-changers He overturned, and the seats of those selling the doves,
13 Og han siger til dem: "Der er skrevet: Mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus; men I gøre det til en Røverkule."
and He says to them, “It has been written: My house will be called a house of prayer; but you made it a den of robbers.”
14 Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
And there came to Him blind and lame men in the temple, and He healed them,
15 Men da Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge så de Undergerninger, som han gjorde, og Børnene, som råbte i Helligdommen og sagde: "Hosanna Davids Søn!" bleve de vrede og sagde til ham:
and the chief priests and the scribes having seen the wonderful things that He did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” were much displeased;
16 "Hører du, hvad disse sige?" Men Jesus siger til dem: "Ja! have I aldrig læst: Af umyndiges og diendes Mund har du beredt dig Lovsang?"
and they said to Him, “Do You hear what these say?” And Jesus says to them, “Yes, did you never read, that, Out of the mouth of babies and sucklings You prepared praise?”
17 Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
And having left them, He went forth out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there,
18 Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev hen hungrig.
and in the morning turning back to the city, He hungered,
19 Og han så et Figentræ ved Vejen og gik hen til det, og han fandt intet derpå uden Blade alene. Og han siger til det: "Aldrig i Evighed skal der vokse Frugt mere på dig!" Og Figentræet visnede straks. (aiōn g165)
and having seen a certain fig tree on the way, He came to it, and found nothing in it except leaves only, and He says to it, “No more fruit may be from you—throughout the age”; and instantly the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
20 Og da Disciplene så det, forundrede de sig og sagde: "Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?"
And the disciples having seen, wondered, saying, “How did the fig tree instantly wither?”
21 Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro og ikke tvivle, da skulle I ikke alene kunne gøre det med Figentræet, men dersom I endog sige til dette Bjerg: Løft dig op og kast dig i Havet, da skal det ske.
And Jesus answering said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you may have faith, and may not doubt, not only this of the fig tree will you do, but even if to this mountain you may say, Be lifted up and be cast into the sea, it will come to pass;
22 Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I få."
and all—as much as you may ask in the prayer, believing, you will receive.”
23 Og da han kom ind i Helligdommen, kom Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste hen til ham, medens han lærte, og de sagde: "Af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, og hvem har givet dig denne Magt?"
And He having come into the temple, there came to Him when teaching the chief priests and the elders of the people, saying, “By what authority do You do these things? And who gave You this authority?”
24 Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Også jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og dersom I sige mig det, vil også jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
And Jesus answering said to them, “I will ask you—I also—one word, which if you may tell Me, I also will tell you by what authority I do these things;
25 Johannes's Dåb, hvorfra var den? Fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?" Men de tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: "Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige til os: Hvorfor troede I ham da ikke?
the immersion of John, from where was it? From Heaven, or from men?” And they were reasoning with themselves, saying, “If we should say, From Heaven, He will say to us, Why, then, did you not believe him?
26 Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, frygte vi for Mængden; thi de holde alle Johannes for en Profet."
And if we should say, From men, we fear the multitude, for all hold John as a prophet.”
27 Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: "Det vide vi ikke." Da sagde også han til dem: "Så siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
And answering Jesus they said, “We have not known.” He said to them—He also, “Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
28 Men hvad tykkes eder? En Mand havde to Børn; og han gik til den første og sagde: Barn! gå hen, arbejd i Dag i min Vingård!
And what do you think? A man had two children, and having come to the first, he said, Child, go, today be working in my vineyard.
29 Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
And he answering said, I will not, but at last, having regretted, he went.
30 Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligeså. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
And having come to the second, he said in the same manner, and he answering said, I [go], lord, and did not go;
31 Hvem af de to gjorde Faderens Villie?" De sige: "Den første." Jesus siger til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at Toldere og Skøger gå forud for eder ind i Guds Rige.
which of the two did the will of the father?” They say to Him, “The first.” Jesus says to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and the prostitutes go before you into the Kingdom of God,
32 Thi Johannes kom til eder på Retfærdigheds Vej, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men endskønt I så det, fortrøde I det alligevel ikke bagefter, så I troede ham.
for John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, and the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him, and you, having seen, did not regret at last—to believe him.
33 Hører en anden Lignelse: Der var en Husbond, som plantede en Vingård og satte et Gærde omkring den og gravede en Perse i den og byggede et Tårn; og han lejede den ud til Vingårdsmænd og drog udenlands.
Hear another allegory: There was a certain man, a householder, who planted a vineyard, and put a hedge around it, and dug in it a winepress, and built a tower, and gave it out to farmers, and went abroad.
34 Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingårdsmændene for at få dens Frugter.
And when the season of the fruits came near, he sent his servants to the farmers, to receive the fruits of it,
35 Og Vingårdsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
and the farmers having taken his servants, one they scourged, and one they killed, and one they stoned.
36 Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligeså med dem.
Again he sent other servants more than the first, and they did to them in the same manner.
37 Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
And at last he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son;
38 Men da Vingårdsmændene så Sønnen, sagde de til hverandre: Det er Arvingen; kommer lader os slå ham ihjel og få hans Arv!
and the farmers having seen the son, said among themselves, This is the heir, come, we may kill him, and may possess his inheritance;
39 Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingården og sloge ham ihjel.
and having taken him, they cast [him] out of the vineyard, and killed him;
40 Når da Vingårdens Herre kommer, hvad vil han så gøre med disse Vingårdsmænd?"
whenever therefore the lord of the vineyard may come, what will he do to these farmers?”
41 De sige til ham: "Ilde vil han ødelægge de onde og leje sin Vingård ud til andre Vingårdsmænd, som ville give ham Frugterne i deres Tid."
They say to Him, “Evil men—he will grievously destroy them, and will give out the vineyard to other farmers who will give back to him the fruits in their seasons.”
42 Jesus siger til dem: "Have I aldrig læst i Skrifterne: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten; fra Herren er dette kommet, og det er underligt for vore Øjne.
Jesus says to them, “Did you never read in the Writings: A stone that the builders disallowed, it became head of a corner; from the LORD has this come to pass, and it is wonderful in our eyes?
43 Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
Because of this I say to you that the Kingdom of God will be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth its fruit;
44 Og den, som falder på denne Sten, skal slå sig sønder; men hvem den falder på, ham skal den knuse."
and he who is falling on this stone will be broken, and on whomsoever it may fall it will crush him to pieces.”
45 Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
And the chief priests and the Pharisees having heard His allegories, knew that He speaks of them,
46 Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
and seeking to lay hold on Him, they feared the multitudes, seeing they were holding Him as a prophet.
