< Matthæus 8 >

1 Men da han var gået ned ad Bjerget, fulgte store Skarer ham.
And when he came down from the mountain, large crowds followed him.
2 Og se, en spedalsk kom, faldt ned for ham og sagde: "Herre! om du vil, så kan du rense mig."
And look, a leper came to him and worshiped him, saying, "Lord, if you want to, you can make me clean."
3 Og han udrakte Hånden, rørte ved ham og sagde: "Jeg vil; bliv ren!" Og straks blev han renset for sin Spedalskhed
And he stretched out his hand, and touched him, saying, "I am willing. Be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
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."
And Jesus said to him, "See that you tell nobody, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
5 Men da han gik ind i Kapernaum, trådte en Høvedsmand hen til ham, bad ham og sagde:
And when he came into Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking him,
6 "Herre! min Dreng ligger hjemme værkbruden og, pines svarlig."
and saying, "Lord, my servant lies in the house paralyzed, grievously tormented."
7 Jesus siger til ham: "Jeg vil komme og helbrede ham."
And he said to him, "I will come and heal him."
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.
And the centurion answered, "Lord, I'm not worthy for you to come under my roof. 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 also a man under authority, having under myself soldiers. I tell this one, 'Go,' and he goes; and tell another, 'Come,' and he comes; and 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.
And when Jesus heard it, he was amazed, and said to those who followed, "Truly I tell you, I have not found so great a faith with anyone 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.
And I tell you that many will come from the east and the west, and will 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 children of the Kingdom will be thrown out into the outer darkness. 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.
And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way. Let it be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed in that hour.
14 Og Jesus kom ind i Peters Hus og så, at hans Svigermoder lå og havde Feber.
And when Jesus came into Peter's house, he saw his mother-in-law lying sick with a fever.
15 Og han rørte ved hendes Hånd, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun stod op og vartede ham op.
So he touched her hand, and the fever left her. She got up and served him.
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;
And when evening came, they brought to him many possessed with demons. He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all 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."
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying, "He took our infirmities, and bore our diseases."
18 Men da Jesus så store Skarer omkring sig, befalede han at fare over til hin Side.
Now when Jesus saw large crowds around him, he gave the order to depart to the other side.
19 Og der kom een, en skriftklog, og sagde til ham: "Mester! jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end går hen."
Then a scribe came, and said to him, "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."
And Jesus said to him, "The foxes have holes, and the birds of the sky have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head."
21 Men en anden af disciplene sagde til ham: "Herre! tilsted mig først at gå hen og begrave min Fader."
And another of the disciples said to him, "Lord, allow me first to go and bury my father."
22 Men Jesus siger til ham: "Følg mig, og lad de døde begrave deres døde!"
But Jesus said to him, "Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead."
23 Og da han gik om Bord i Skibet, fulgte hans Disciple ham.
And when he got into a boat, his disciples followed him.
24 Og se, det blev en stærk Storm på Søen, så at Skibet skjultes af Bølgerne; men han sov.
And look, a violent storm came up on the sea, so much that the boat was covered with the waves, but he was asleep.
25 Og de gik hen til ham, vækkede ham og sagde: "Herre, frels os! vi forgå."
They came to him, and woke him up, saying, "Save us, Lord. We are dying."
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.
And he said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then he got up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 Men Menneskene forundrede sig og sagde: "Hvem er dog denne, siden både Vindene og Søen ere ham lydige?"
And the men were amazed, saying, "What kind of person is this, that even the wind and the sea 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.
And when he came to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, two people possessed by demons met him there, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that nobody could pass 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?"
And look, they shouted, saying, "What do we have to do with you, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?"
30 Men der var langt fra dem en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede.
Now there was a herd of many pigs feeding far away from them.
31 Og de onde Ånder bade ham og sagde: "Dersom du uddriver os, da send os i Svinehjorden!"
And the demons begged him, saying, "If you cast us out, permit us to go away 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.
And he said to them, "Go." And they came out, and went into the pigs, and look, the whole herd rushed down the cliff into the sea, and died in the water.
33 Men Hyrderne flyede og gik hen i Byen og fortalte det alt sammen, og hvorledes det var gået til med de besatte.
And those who fed them fled, and went away into the city, and told everything, including what happened to those who were possessed with demons.
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.
And look, all the city came out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.
