< Matthew 19 >
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee and came into the regions of Judea beyond the Jordan.
Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Ord, drog han bort fra Galilæa og kom til Judæas Egne, hinsides Jordan.
2 And many multitudes followed him and he healed them there.
Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.
3 And Pharisees came to him, trying him, and saying to him, Is it permitted for a man to divorce his wife for every cause?
Og Farisæerne kom til ham, fristede ham og sagde: „Er det tilladt at skille sig fra sin Hustru af hvilken som helst Grund?‟
4 And having answered, he said to them, Have ye not read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female,
Men han svarede og sagde: „Have I ikke læst, at Skaberen fra Begyndelsen skabte dem som Mand og Kvinde
5 and said, For this reason a man will leave his father and mother behind, and will be bonded with his wife, and the two will be in one flesh?
og sagde: „Derfor skal en Mand forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og holde sig til sin Hustru, og de to skulle blive til eet Kød?‟
6 So that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, no man shall separate.
Saaledes ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, maa et Menneske ikke adskille.‟
7 They say to him, Why then did Moses command to give a writing of divorcement, and to divorce her?
De sige til ham: „Hvorfor bød da Moses at give et Skilsmissebrev og skille sig fra hende?‟
8 He says to them, For your hard heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it did not happen this way.
Han siger til dem: „Moses tilstedte eder at skille eder fra eders Hustruer for eders Hjerters Haardheds Skyld; men fra Begyndelsen har det ikke været saaledes.
9 And I say to you, that whoever may divorce his wife, not for fornication, and will marry another, commits adultery. And he who married her who has been divorced commits adultery.
Men jeg siger eder, at den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, naar det ikke er for Hors Skyld, og tager en anden til Ægte, han bedriver Hor; og den, som tager en fraskilt Hustru til Ægte, han bedriver Hor.‟
10 His disciples say to him, If the case of the man with his wife is this way, it is not advantageous to marry.
Hans Disciple sige til ham: „Staar Mandens Sag med Hustruen saaledes, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig.‟
11 But he said to them, Not all men can accommodate this saying, but to whom it has been given.
Men han sagde til dem: „Ikke alle rumme dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:
12 For there are eunuchs who were born this way from their mother's belly, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs because of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to receive it, let him receive it.
Thi der er Gildinger, som ere fødte saaledes fra Moders Liv; og der er Gildinger, som ere gildede af Mennesker; og der er Gildinger, som have gildet sig selv for Himmeriges Riges Skyld. Den, som kan rumme det, han rumme det!‟
13 Then children were brought to him, so that he would lay his hands on them and pray, but the disciples rebuked them.
Da blev der baaret smaa Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne paa dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.
14 But Jesus said, Allow the children, and do not forbid them to come to me, for of such kind is the kingdom of the heavens.
Da sagde Jesus: „Lader de smaa Børn komme, og formener dem ikke at komme til mig; thi Himmeriges Rige hører saadanne til.‟
15 And having laid his hands on them, he departed from there.
Og han lagde Hænderne paa dem, og han drog derfra.
16 And behold one man having come to him, said, Good teacher, what good thing should I do so that I may have eternal life? (aiōnios )
Og se, en kom til ham og sagde: „Mester! hvad godt skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan faa et evigt Liv?‟ (aiōnios )
17 And he said to him, Why do thou call me good? There is none good except one, God. But if thou want to enter into life, keep the commandments.
Men han sagde til ham: „Hvorfor spørger du mig om det gode? Een er den gode. Men vil du indgaa til Livet, da hold Budene!‟
18 He says to him, Which? And Jesus said, Thou shall not murder. Thou shall not commit adultery. Thou shall not steal. Thou shall not testify falsely.
Han siger til ham: „Hvilke?‟ Men Jesus sagde: „Dette: Du maa ikke slaa ihjel; du maa ikke bedrive Hor; du maa ikke stjæle; du maa ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd;
19 Honor the father and mother, and, Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself.
ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv.‟
20 The young man says to him, All these things I have kept from my youthfulness. What do I lack yet?
Den unge Mand siger til ham: „Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?‟
21 Jesus said to him, If thou want to be perfect, go, sell the things being possessed by thee, and give to the poor, and thou will have treasure in heaven. And come, follow me.
Jesus sagde til ham: „Vil du være fuldkommen, da gaa bort, sælg, hvad du ejer, og giv det til fattige, saa skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom saa og følg mig!‟
22 But when the young man heard the saying, he went away sorrowing, for he was having many possessions.
Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.
23 And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of the heavens difficultly.
Men Jesus sagde til sine Disciple: „Sandelig siger jeg eder: En rig kommer vanskeligt ind i Himmeriges Rige.
24 And again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the hole of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
Atter siger jeg eder: Det er lettere for en Kamel at gaa igennem et Naaleøje end for en rig at gaa ind i Guds Rige.‟
25 And when his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de saare og sagde: „Hvem kan da blive frelst?‟
26 And having looked, Jesus said to them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Men Jesus saa paa dem og sagde: „For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige.‟
27 Then having answered, Peter said to him, Lo, we have forsaken all, and followed thee. What then will be for us?
Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: „Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?‟
28 And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that ye who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man will sit on the throne of his glory, ye also will sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Men Jesus sagde til dem: „Sandelig siger jeg eder, at i Igenfødelsen, naar Menneskesønnen sidder paa sin Herligheds Trone, skulle ogsaa I, som have fulgt mig, sidde paa tolv Troner og dømme Israels tolv Stammer.
29 And every man who has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, because of my name, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life. (aiōnios )
Og hver, som har forladt Hus eller Brødre eller Søstre eller Fader eller Moder eller Hustru eller Børn eller Marker for mit Navns Skyld, skal faa det mange Fold igen og arve et evigt Liv. (aiōnios )
30 But many first will be last, and last, first.
Men mange af de første skulle blive de sidste, og af de sidste de første.
