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 seeing the multitudes, He went up into the mountain; and having 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 the meek, because they shall inherit the earth.
5 Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
Blessed are they that mourn: because they shall be comforted.
6 Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: because they shall be filled.
7 Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
Blessed are the merciful: because they shall receive mercy.
8 Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
Blessed are the pure in heart: because they shall see God.
9 Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
Blessed are the peacemakers: because they shall be called the sons of God.
10 Salige ere de, som ere forfulgte for Retfærdigheds Skyld, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
Blessed are they, who are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for 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 may despise you, and shall persecute you, and may say all evil against you, falsifying, for my sake.
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 he exceedingly glad: because your reward is great in the heavens: for in this manner they persecuted the prophets who were 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 of the earth; and if the salt may lose its savor, in what shall it be salted? It is yet without value, except having been cast out, to be trodden under feet by the people.
14 I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger på et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
Ye are the light of the world. A city sitting on a mountain is unable to be hidden.
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.
Neither do they light a candle, and place it under a bushel, but on the candlestick; and it shineth to all who are 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.
Let your light so shine before the people, in order that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is 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 destroy the law of the prophets: I came not to destroy, 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 unto you, Until heaven and earth may pass away, one jot or tittle can not pass from the law, until all things may be accomplished.
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.
Therefore if any one may break one of the least of these commandments, and so teach the people, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of the heavens: but whosoever may do and teach them, the same shall 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 unto you, that if your righteousness may not abound more than that of the scribes and Pharisees, you can 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.
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not murder; and whosoever may murder shall be in danger of 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 unto you that every one being angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever may say to his brother, Thou scoundrel, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever may say, Thou fool, shall be liable unto a 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,
Therefore if you may bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,
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 your gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, then having come offer your 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 reconciled with your adversary quickly, while you are in the way with him; lest the adversary may deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you may 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 unto you, You can not go out from thence until you have paid the last farthing.
27 I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du må ikke bedrive Hor.
You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt 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 unto you that every one looking on a woman in order to lust after her hath 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 offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable to thee that one of thy members may perish, and not that thy whole body may go away 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, Whosoever may send away his wife, let him give her a divorcement.
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 unto you, that every one sending away his wife, except on account of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever may marry her who has been cast off 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 you have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shall perform unto 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 unto you, Swear not 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; neither 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 swear by thy head, because thou art unable to 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 speech be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but that which aboundeth more than these is of the evil one.
38 I have hørt, at der er sagt: Øje for Øje, og Tand for Tand.
You 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 unto you, Resist not him that is evil: but whosoever smites 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!
to him wishing to prosecute thee at law, and take away thy coat, let him have the cloak also.
41 Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gå een Mil, da gå to med ham!
Whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him two.
42 Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil låne af dig.
Give to the one asking thee, and do not turn away from the one wishing to borrow from thee.
43 I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende.
You have heard that it was said, Thou shalt 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 unto you, Love your enemies with a divine love, bless those who curse you and pray for those who despitefully use 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.
in order that you may be the sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because He raises up His sun on the wicked and on the good, and rains on the righteous and on the unrighteous.
46 Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke også Tolderne det samme?
For if you love those that love you, what reward have ye? because the publicans also do the same.
47 Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke også Hedningerne det samme?
If you salute your brethren only, what do ye more abundantly? do not the heathens also the same thing?
48 Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
Therefore ye shall be perfect, as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.
