Matthæus 8
1 Men da han var gået ned ad Bjerget, fulgte store Skarer ham.
Large crowds followed Jesus once he'd come down from the mountain.
2 Og se, en spedalsk kom, faldt ned for ham og sagde: "Herre! om du vil, så kan du rense mig."
A leper approached him and bowed down, worshiping him, and said, “Lord, if you're willing, please heal me.”
3 Og han udrakte Hånden, rørte ved ham og sagde: "Jeg vil; bliv ren!" Og straks blev han renset for sin Spedalskhed
Jesus reached out and touched him with his hand. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” Immediately he was healed from his leprosy.
4 Og Jesus siger til ham: "Se til, at du ikke siger det til nogen; men gå hen, fremstil dig selv for Præsten, og offer den Gave, som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem."
“Make sure you don't tell anyone,” Jesus told him. “Go and show yourself to the priest and give the offering which Moses required as public proof.”
5 Men da han gik ind i Kapernaum, trådte en Høvedsmand hen til ham, bad ham og sagde:
When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came up to him, begging for help,
6 "Herre! min Dreng ligger hjemme værkbruden og, pines svarlig."
“Lord, my servant is at home, lying down, unable to move. He's in terrible agony.”
7 Jesus siger til ham: "Jeg vil komme og helbrede ham."
“I will come and heal him,” Jesus replied.
8 Og Høvedsmanden svarede og sagde: "Herre! jeg er ikke værdig til, at du skal gå ind under mit Tag; men sig det blot med et Ord, så bliver min Dreng helbredt.
The centurion answered, “Lord, I don't merit a visit to my home. Just say the word, and my servant will be healed.
9 Jeg er jo selv et Menneske, som står under Øvrighed og har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til den ene: Gå! så går han; og til den anden: Kom! så kommer han; og til min Tjener: Gør dette! så gør han det."
For I am myself under the authority of superiors, while I also have soldiers under my command. I command one, ‘Go!’ and he goes. I command another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
10 Men da Jesus hørte det, forundrede han sig og sagde til dem, som fulgte ham: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, end ikke i Israel har jeg fundet så stor en Tro.
When Jesus heard what he said, he was astonished. He told those who were following him, “I tell you the truth, I haven't found this kind of trust anywhere in Israel.
11 Men jeg siger eder, at mange skulle komme fra Øster og Vester og sidde til Bords med Abraham og Isak og Jakob i Himmeriges Rige.
I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 Men Rigets Børn skulle kastes ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel."
But the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown out into utter darkness where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.”
13 Og Jesus sagde til Høvedsmanden:"Gå bort, dig ske, som du troede!" Og Drengen blev helbredt i den samme Time.
Then Jesus told the centurion, “Go home. Because you trusted that it would happen, what you asked for has been done.” The servant was healed right away.
14 Og Jesus kom ind i Peters Hus og så, at hans Svigermoder lå og havde Feber.
When Jesus arrived at Peter's house, he saw that Peter's mother-in-law was sick in bed with a high fever.
15 Og han rørte ved hendes Hånd, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun stod op og vartede ham op.
He touched her hand and the fever left her. She got up and began making him a meal.
16 Men da det var blevet Aften, førte de mange besatte til ham, og han uddrev Ånderne med et Ord og helbredte alle de syge;
When evening came they brought many who were demon-possessed to Jesus. He made the spirits leave at his command, and he healed all those who were sick.
17 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, der siger: "Han tog vore Skrøbeligheder og bar vore Sygdomme."
This fulfilled what the prophet Isaiah said: “He healed our diseases, and freed us from our illnesses.”
18 Men da Jesus så store Skarer omkring sig, befalede han at fare over til hin Side.
When Jesus saw the crowds around him, he gave instructions that they should go to the other side of the lake.
19 Og der kom een, en skriftklog, og sagde til ham: "Mester! jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end går hen."
One of the religious teachers approached him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go!”
20 Og Jesus siger til ham: "Ræve have Huler, og Himmelens Fugle Reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det, hvortil han kan hælde sit Hoved."
“Foxes have their dens, and wild birds have their nests, but the Son of man has nowhere he can lie down and rest,” Jesus told him.
21 Men en anden af disciplene sagde til ham: "Herre! tilsted mig først at gå hen og begrave min Fader."
Another disciple said to Jesus, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 Men Jesus siger til ham: "Følg mig, og lad de døde begrave deres døde!"
“Follow me. Leave the dead to bury their own dead,” Jesus replied.
23 Og da han gik om Bord i Skibet, fulgte hans Disciple ham.
Then Jesus got into a boat and his disciples went with him.
24 Og se, det blev en stærk Storm på Søen, så at Skibet skjultes af Bølgerne; men han sov.
A violent storm suddenly blew up, and waves crashed over the boat, but Jesus went on sleeping.
25 Og de gik hen til ham, vækkede ham og sagde: "Herre, frels os! vi forgå."
The disciples went over to him and woke him up. “Save us, Lord! We're going to drown!” they shouted.
26 Og han siger til dem: "Hvorfor ere I bange, I lidettroende?" Da stod han op og truede Vindene og Søen, og det blev ganske blikstille.
“Why are you so afraid? Why do you trust so little?” he asked them. Then he got up, and commanded the winds and the waves to stop. Everything was absolutely calm.
27 Men Menneskene forundrede sig og sagde: "Hvem er dog denne, siden både Vindene og Søen ere ham lydige?"
The disciples were astonished, and said, “Who is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
28 Og da han kom over til hin Side til Gadarenernes Land, mødte ham to besatte, som kom ud fra Gravene, og de vare såre vilde, så at ingen kunde komme forbi ad den Vej.
When he arrived on the other side, in the region of the Gadarenes, two demon-possessed men came out of the graveyard to meet him. They were so dangerous that nobody dared to travel that way.
29 Og se, de råbte og sagde: "Hvad have vi med dig at gøre, du Guds Søn? Er du kommen hid før Tiden for at pine os?"
They shouted out, “What have you got to do with us, you Son of God? Have you come to torture us before our time?”
30 Men der var langt fra dem en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede.
In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.
31 Og de onde Ånder bade ham og sagde: "Dersom du uddriver os, da send os i Svinehjorden!"
The demons pleaded with him, “If you're going to drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 Og han sagde til dem: "Går!" Men de fore ud og fore i Svinene; og se, hele Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og døde i Vandet.
“Go!” said Jesus. The demons left the men and went into the pigs. The whole herd ran down the steep hillside into the sea and drowned.
33 Men Hyrderne flyede og gik hen i Byen og fortalte det alt sammen, og hvorledes det var gået til med de besatte.
The pig herders ran away. They went to the town and told the people there everything that had taken place, and what had happened to the demon-possessed men.
34 Og se, hele Byen gik ud for at møde Jesus; og da de så ham, bade de ham om; at han vilde gå bort fra deres Egn.
The whole town came out to meet Jesus. When they found him, they begged him to leave their district.
