Matthæus 5
1 Men da han så Skarerne, steg han op på Bjerget; og da han havde sat sig, gik hans Disciple hen til ham,
And having seen the multitudes, he went up onto the mountain. And when he sat down, his disciples came to him.
2 og han oplod sin Mund, lærte dem og sagde:
And having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,
3 "Salige ere de fattige i Ånden, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
4 Salige ere de, som sørge, thi de skulle husvales.
Blessed are those who mourn, because they will be comforted.
5 Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
Blessed are the meek, because they will inherit the earth.
6 Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, because they will be filled.
7 Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
Blessed are the merciful, because they will obtain mercy.
8 Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
Blessed are the pure in heart, because they will see God.
9 Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
Blessed are the peacemakers, because they will be called sons of God.
10 Salige ere de, som ere forfulgte for Retfærdigheds Skyld, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
Blessed are those who have been persecuted because of righteousness, because the kingdom of the heavens is theirs.
11 Salige ere I, når man håner og forfølger eder og lyver eder alle Hånde ondt på for min Skyld.
Blessed are ye when they revile you, and persecute you, and say every evil word, being deceitful against you because of me.
12 Glæder og fryder eder, thi eders Løn skal være stor i Himlene; thi således have de forfulgt Profeterne, som vare før eder.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, because your reward is great in the heavens, for so they persecuted the prophets before you.
13 I ere Jordens Salt; men dersom Saltet mister sin Kraft, hvormed skal det da saltes? Det duer ikke til andet end at kastes ud og nedtrædes af Menneskene.
Ye are the salt material of the earth. But if the salt material becomes ineffective, by what will it be salted? It is potent for nothing further, except to be cast outside and to be trodden down by men.
14 I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger på et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
Ye are the light of the world. A city setting on a hill cannot be hid,
15 Man tænder heller ikke et Lys og sætter det under Skæppen, men på Lysestagen; så skinner det for alle dem, som ere i Huset.
nor do they light a lamp, and put it under the bushel, but on the lampstand, and it shines to all in the house.
16 Lader således eders Lys skinne for Menneskene, at de må se eders gode Gerninger og ære eders Fader, som er i Himlene.
Thus your light should shine before men, so that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father in the heavens.
17 Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at nedbryde Loven eller Profeterne; jeg er ikke kommen for at nedbryde, men for at fuldkomme.
Think not that I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I came not to abolish, but to fulfill.
18 Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, indtil Himmelen og Jorden forgår, skal end ikke det mindste Bogstav eller en Tøddel forgå af Loven, indtil det er sket alt sammen.
For truly I say to you, until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle will, no, not pass away from the law, until all things come to pass.
19 Derfor, den, som bryder et at de mindste af disse Bud og lærer Menneskene således, han skal kaldes den mindste i Himmeriges Rige; men den, som gør dem og lærer dem, han skal kaldes stor i Himmeriges Rige.
Whoever therefore may relax one of these least commandments, and may teach men so, he will be called least in the kingdom of the heavens. But whoever may do and may teach them, this man will be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
20 Thi jeg siger eder: Uden eders Retfærdighed overgår de skriftkloges og Farisæernes, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.
For I say to you, that unless your righteousness abounds more than of the scholars and Pharisees, ye will, no, not enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
21 I have hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du må ikke slå ihjel, men den, som slår ihjel, skal være skyldig for Dommen.
Ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not murder, and whoever murders will be liable to the judgment.
22 Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som bliver vred på sin Broder uden Årsag, skal være skyldig for Dommen; og den, som siger til sin Broder: Raka! skal være skyldig for Rådet; og den, som siger: Du Dåre! skal være skyldig til Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)
But I say to you, that every man who is angry at his brother without cause will be liable to the judgment, and whoever speaks an insult to his brother will be liable to the council, and whoever says, Foolish man, will be liable to the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
23 Derfor, når du ofrer din Gave på Alteret og der kommer i Hu, at din Broder har noget imod dig,
If therefore thou should bring thy gift to the altar, and remember there that thy brother has anything against thee,
24 så lad din Gave blive der foran Alteret, og gå hen, forlig dig først med din Broder, og kom da og offer din Gave!
leave there thy gift before the altar, and go. First be reconciled to thy brother, and then, after coming, bring thy gift.
25 Vær velvillig mod din Modpart uden Tøven, medens du er med ham på Vejen, for at Modparten ikke skal overgive dig til Dommeren, og Dommeren til Tjeneren, og du skal kastes i Fængsel.
Be agreeing with thine opponent quickly, while thou are with him on the way, lest the opponent deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the subordinate, and thou will be cast into prison.
26 Sandelig, siger jeg dig, du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du får betalt den sidste Hvid.
Truly I say to thee, thou will, no, not come out from there, until thou have paid the last quadran.
27 I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du må ikke bedrive Hor.
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall not commit adultery.
28 Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som ser på en Kvinde for at begære hende, har allerede bedrevet Hor med hende i sit Hjerte.
But I say to you, that every man who looks on a woman to crave her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
29 Men dersom dit højre Øje forarger dig, så riv det ud, og kast det fra dig; thi det er bedre for dig, at eet af dine Lemmer fordærves, end at hele dit Legeme bliver kastet i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right eye causes thee to stumble, remove it and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
30 Og om din højre Hånd forarger dig, så hug den af og kast den fra dig; thi det er bedre for dig, at eet af dine Lemmer fordærves, end at hele dit Legeme kommer i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
And if thy right hand causes thee to stumble, cut it off and cast it from thee, for it is advantageous for thee that one of thy body-parts should perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
31 Og der er sagt: Den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, skal give hende et Skilsmissebrev.
And it was said, Whoever may divorce his wife, let him give her a divorce certificate.
32 Men jeg siger eder, at enhver, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, uden for Hors Skyld, gør, at hun bedriver Hor, og den, som tager en fraskilt Kvinde til Ægte, bedriver Hor.
But I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife apart from a matter of fornication, disposes her to commit adultery, and whoever may marry her who has been divorced commits adultery.
33 I have fremdeles hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du må ikke gøre nogen falsk Ed, men du skal holde Herren dine Eder.
Again, ye have heard that it was said to them in old times, Thou shall not swear falsely, but shall render to the Lord thine oaths.
34 Men jeg siger eder, at I må aldeles ikke sværge, hverken ved Himmelen, thi den er Guds Trone,
But I say to you, not to swear at all, neither by heaven, because it is the throne of God,
35 ej heller ved Jorden, thi den er hans Fodskammel, ej heller ved Jerusalem, thi det er den store Konges Stad.
nor by the earth, because it is the footstool of his feet, nor by Jerusalem, because it is the city of the great King.
36 Du må heller ikke sværge ved dit Hoved, thi du kan ikke gøre et eneste Hår hvidt eller sort.
Neither shall thou swear by thy head, because thou cannot make one hair white or black.
37 Men eders Tale skal være ja, ja, nej, nej; hvad der er ud over dette, er af det onde.
But let your word be, Yes, yes, No, no. And anything beyond these is from evil.
38 I have hørt, at der er sagt: Øje for Øje, og Tand for Tand.
Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.
39 Men jeg siger eder, at I må ikke sætte eder imod det onde; men dersom nogen giver dig et Slag på din højre Kind, da vend ham også den anden til!
But I say to you, not to resist what is troublesome, but whoever will strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 Og dersom nogen vil gå i Rette med dig og tage din Kjortel, lad ham da også få Kappen!
And to the man who wants to sue thee, and take away thy coat, thou shall leave him thy cloak also.
41 Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gå een Mil, da gå to med ham!
And whoever will draft thee for one mile, go thou with him two.
42 Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil låne af dig.
Give to him who asks thee, and turn thou not away from him who wants to borrow from thee.
43 I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende.
Ye have heard that it was said, Thou shall love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44 Men jeg siger eder: Elsker eders Fjender, velsigner dem, som forbande eder, gører dem godt, som hade eder, og beder for dem, som krænke eder og forfølge eder,
But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,
45 for at I må vorde eders Faders Børn, han, som er i Himlene; thi han lader sin Sol opgå over onde og gode og lader det regne over retfærdige og uretfærdige.
so that ye may become sons of your Father in the heavens, because he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and makes rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
46 Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke også Tolderne det samme?
For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not even the tax collectors the same?
47 Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke også Hedningerne det samme?
And if ye only greet your friends, what do ye extra? Do not even the tax collectors this way?
48 Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
Ye therefore shall be perfect, even as your Father in the heavens is perfect.
