Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Og det skete, da Jesus var færdig med at give sine tolv Disciple Befaling, gik han videre derfra for at lære og prædike i deres Byer.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
3 he said to him, Are thou he who comes, or do we look for another man?
„Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?‟
4 And having answered, Jesus said to them, After going, report to John the things that ye hear and see:
Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Gaar hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I høre og se:
5 the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor are proclaimed good news.
blinde se, og lamme gaa, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde staa op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
6 And blessed is he, whoever will not be caused to stumble by me.
og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.‟
7 And while those men departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes about John, What did ye go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind?
Men da disse gik bort, begyndte Jesus at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: „Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?
8 But what did ye go out to see? A man clothed in delicate clothes? Behold, those wearing delicate things are in king's houses.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som bære bløde Klæder, ere i Kongernes Huse.
9 But what did ye go out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say to you, and more than a prophet.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet.
10 For this is he about whom it is written, Behold, I send my agent before thy face who will prepare thy way before thee.
Thi han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej foran dig.
11 Truly I say to you, among men born of women there has not been raised a greater than John the immerser. Yet the smaller in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større fremstaaet end Johannes Døberen; men den mindste i Himmeriges Rige er større end han.
12 And from the days of John the immerser until now the kingdom of the heavens is treated aggressively, and aggressors seize it.
Men fra Johannes Døberens Dage indtil nu tages Himmeriges Rige med Vold, og Voldsmænd rive det til sig.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
14 And if ye are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is going to come.
Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, calling to their companions,
Men hvem skal jeg ligne denne Slægt ved? Den ligner Børn, som sidde paa Torvene og raabe til de andre og sige:
17 and saying, We piped to you, and ye did not dance, we mourned to you, and ye did not beat the breast.
Vi blæste paa Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon.
Thi Johannes kom, som hverken spiste eller drak, og de sige: Han er besat.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold the man, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners! And wisdom is justified from her children.
Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og de sige: Se, en Fraadser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven! Dog, Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved sine Børn.‟
20 Then he began to upbraid the cities in which most of his mighty works occurred, because they did not repent.
Da begyndte han at skamme de Byer ud, i hvilke hans fleste kraftige Gerninger vare gjorte, fordi de ikke havde omvendt sig:
21 Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! Because if the mighty works that occurred in you occurred in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
„Ve dig, Korazin! ve dig, Bethsajda! thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i eder, vare skete i Tyrus og Sidon, da havde de for længe siden omvendt sig i Sæk og Aske.
22 Nevertheless I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for you.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end eder.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which was exalted as far as the sky. Thou will be brought down as far as Hades, because if the mighty works had occurred in Sodom that occurred in thee, it would have remained until this day. (Hadēs g86)
Og du, Kapernaum! som er bleven ophøjet indtil Himmelen, du skal nedstødes indtil Dødsriget; thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i dig, vare skete i Sodoma, da var den bleven staaende indtil denne Dag. (Hadēs g86)
24 Nevertheless I say to you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Sodomas Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end dig.‟
25 Jesus having responded at that time, said, I extol thee, O Father, Lord of the heaven and the earth, because thou hid these things from the wise and intelligent, and revealed them to the childlike.
Paa den Tid udbrød Jesus og sagde: „Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og aabenbaret det for umyndige.
26 Yea, Father, because this way it was done pleasing in thy sight.
Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
27 All things were delivered to me by my Father. And no man knows the Son, except the Father, nor does any man know the Father, except the Son, and he to whomever the Son wants to reveal him.
Alle Ting ere mig overgivne af min Fader; og ingen kender Sønnen uden Faderen, og ingen kender Faderen uden Sønnen, og den, for hvem Sønnen vil aabenbare ham.
28 Come to me, all ye who labor and have been burdened, and I will give you rest.
Kommer hid til mig alle, som lide Møje og ere besværede, og jeg vil give eder Hvile.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, because I am meek and lowly in heart, and ye will find rest for your souls.
Tager mit Aag paa eder, og lærer af mig; thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af Hjertet; saa skulle I finde Hvile for eders Sjæle.
30 For my yoke is befitting, and my burden is light.
Thi mit Aag er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let.‟
