Matthew 10
1 He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
Og han kaldte sine tolv Disciple til sig og gav dem Magt over urene Aander, til at uddrive dem og at helbrede enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
Og disse ere de tolv Apostles Navne: Først Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, og Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder,
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
Filip og Bartholomæus, Thomas og Tolderen Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn, og Lebbæus med Tilnavn Thaddæus,
4 Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forraadte ham.
5 Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: „Gaar ikke hen paa Hedningers Vej, og gaar ikke ind i Samaritaners By!
6 Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Men gaar hellere hen til de fortabte Faar af Israels Hus!
7 As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
Men paa eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Aander! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
9 Do not take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
11 Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.
Men hvor I komme ind i en By eller Landsby, der skulle I spørge, hvem i den der er det værd, og der skulle I blive, indtil I drage bort.
12 As you enter into the household, greet it.
Men naar I gaa ind i Huset, da hilser det;
13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
og dersom Huset er det værd, da komme eders Fred over det; men dersom det ikke er det værd, da vende eders Fred tilbage til eder!
14 Whoever does not receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
Og dersom nogen ikke modtager eder og ej hører eders Ord, da gaar ud af det Hus eller den By og ryster Støvet af eders Fødder!
15 Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, det skal gaa Sodomas og Gomorras Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end den By.
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
Se, jeg sender eder som Faar midt iblandt Ulve; vorder derfor snilde som Slanger og enfoldige som Duer!
17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Raadsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
19 But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
Men naar de overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvad I skulle tale; thi det skal gives eder i den samme Time, hvad I skulle tale.
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Aand, som taler i eder.
21 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.
Men Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn, og Børn skulle sætte sig op imod Forældre og slaa dem ihjel.
22 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld; men den, som holder ud indtil Enden, han skal blive frelst.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
Men naar de forfølge eder i een By, da flyr til en anden; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle ikke komme til Ende med Israels Byer, førend Menneskesønnen kommer.
24 “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
Det er Discipelen nok, at han bliver som sin Mester, og Tjeneren som sin Herre. Have de kaldet Husbonden Beelzebul, hvor meget mere da hans Husfolk?
26 Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
Frygter altsaa ikke for dem; thi intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker paa Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna (Geenna g1067).
Og frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel, men ikke kunne slaa Sjælen ihjel; men frygter hellere for ham, som kan fordærve baade Sjæl og Legeme i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
29 “Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
Sælges ikke to Spurve for en Penning? Og ikke een af dem falder til Jorden uden eders Faders Villie.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Men paa eder ere endog alle Hovedhaar talte.
31 Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
Altsaa, enhver som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa jeg vedkende mig for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
33 But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
34 “Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at bringe Fred paa Jorden; jeg er ikke kommen for at bringe Fred, men Sværd.
35 For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
Thi jeg er kommen for at volde Splid imellem en Mand og hans Fader og imellem en Datter og hendes Moder og imellem en Svigerdatter og hendes Svigermoder,
36 A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
og en Mands Husfolk skulle være hans Fjender.
37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
Den, som elsker Fader eller Moder mere end mig, er mig ikke værd; og den, som elsker Søn eller Datter mere end mig, er mig ikke værd;
38 He who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
og den, som ikke tager sit Kors og følger efter mig, er mig ikke værd.
39 He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Den, som bjærger sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, skal bjærge det.
40 “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
Den, som modtager eder, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som udsendte mig.
41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
Den, som modtager en Profet, fordi han er en Profet, skal faa en Profets Løn; og den, som modtager en retfærdig, fordi han er en retfærdig, skal faa en retfærdigs Løn.
42 Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
Og den, som giver en af disse smaa ikkun et Bæger koldt Vand at drikke, fordi han er en Discipel, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal ingenlunde miste sin Løn.‟
