Luke 12
1 In those [times], the myriads of the crowd being gathered together, so that they trod one on another, he began to say to his disciples first, Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy;
Da imidlertid mange Tusinde Mennesker havde samlet sig, saa at de traadte paa hverandre, begyndte han at sige til sine Disciple: „Tager eder først og fremmest i Vare for Farisæernes Surdejg, som er Hykleri.
2 but there is nothing covered up which shall not be revealed, nor secret that shall not be known;
Men intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
3 therefore whatever ye have said in the darkness shall be heard in the light, and what ye have spoken in the ear in chambers shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Derfor, alt hvad I have sagt i Mørket, skal høres i Lyset; og hvad I have talt i Øret i Kamrene, skal blive prædiket paa Tagene.
4 But I say to you, my friends, Fear not those who kill the body and after this have no more that they can do.
Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formaa at gøre mere.
5 But I will shew you whom ye shall fear: Fear him who after he has killed has authority to cast into hell; yea, I say to you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Men jeg vil vise eder, for hvem I skulle frygte: Frygter for ham, som har Magt til, efter at have slaaet ihjel, at kaste i Helvede; ja, jeg siger eder: Frygter for ham! (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two assaria? and one of them is not forgotten before God.
Sælges ikke fem Spurve for to Penninge? og ikke een af dem er glemt hos Gud.
7 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore, ye are better than many sparrows.
Ja, endog Haarene paa eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
8 But I say to you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, the Son of man will confess him also before the angels of God;
Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
9 but he that shall have denied me before men shall be denied before the angels of God;
Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
10 and whoever shall say a word against the Son of man it shall be forgiven him; but to him that speaks injuriously against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
Og enhver, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som har talt bespotteligt imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades.
11 But when they bring you before the synagogues and rulers and the authorities, be not careful how or what ye shall answer, or what ye shall say;
Men naar de føre eder frem for Synagogerne og Øvrighederne og Myndighederne, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvormed I skulle forsvare eder, eller hvad I skulle sige.
12 for the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the hour itself what should be said.
Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
13 And a person said to him out of the crowd, Teacher, speak to my brother to divide the inheritance with me.
Men en af Skaren sagde til ham: „Mester! sig til min Broder, at han skal dele Arven med mig.‟
14 But he said to him, Man, who established me [as] a judge or a divider over you?
Men han sagde til ham: „Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?‟
15 And he said to them, Take heed and keep yourselves from all covetousness, for [it is] not because a man is in abundance [that] his life is in his possessions.
Og han sagde til dem: „Ser til og vogter eder for al Havesyge; thi ingens Liv beror paa, hvad han ejer, selv om han har Overflod.‟
16 And he spoke a parable to them, saying, The land of a certain rich man brought forth abundantly.
Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: „Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde baaret godt.
17 And he reasoned within himself saying, What shall I do? for I have not [a place] where I shall lay up my fruits.
Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will take away my granaries and build greater, and there I will lay up all my produce and my good things;
Og han sagde: Dette vil jeg gøre, jeg vil nedbryde mine Lader og bygge dem større, og jeg vil samle deri al min Afgrøde og mit Gods;
19 and I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much good things laid by for many years; repose thyself, eat, drink, be merry.
og jeg vil sige til min Sjæl: Sjæl! du har mange gode Ting liggende for mange Aar; slaa dig til Ro, spis, drik, vær lystig!
20 But God said to him, Fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee; and whose shall be what thou hast prepared?
Men Gud sagde til ham: Du Daare! i denne Nat kræves din Sjæl af dig; men hvem skal det høre til, som du har beredt?
21 Thus is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
22 And he said to his disciples, For this cause I say unto you, Be not careful for life, what ye shall eat, nor for the body, what ye shall put on.
Men han sagde til sine Disciple: „Derfor siger jeg eder: Bekymrer eder ikke for Livet, hvad I skulle spise; ikke heller for Legemet, hvad I skulle iføre eder.
23 The life is more than food, and the body than raiment.
Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not nor reap; which have neither storehouse nor granary; and God feeds them. How much better are ye than the birds?
Giver Agt paa Ravnene, at de hverken saa eller høste, og de have ikke Forraadskammer eller Lade, og Gud føder dem; hvor langt mere værd end Fuglene ere dog I?
25 But which of you by being careful can add to his stature one cubit?
Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
26 If therefore ye cannot [do] even what is least, why are ye careful about the rest?
Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; but I say unto you, Not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these.
Giver Agt paa Lillierne, hvorledes de vokse; de arbejde ikke og spinde ikke; men jeg siger eder: End ikke Salomon i al sin Herlighed var klædt som en af dem.
28 But if God thus clothe the grass, which to-day is in the field and to-morrow is cast into [the] oven, how much rather you, O ye of little faith?
Klæder da Gud saaledes det Græs paa Marken, som i Dag staar og i Morgen kastes i Ovnen, hvor meget mere eder, I lidettroende!
29 And ye, seek not what ye shall eat or what ye shall drink, and be not in anxiety;
Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
30 for all these things do the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that ye have need of these things;
Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
31 but seek his kingdom, and [all] these things shall be added to you.
Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
32 Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom.
Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
33 Sell what ye possess and give alms; make to yourselves purses which do not grow old, a treasure which does not fail in the heavens, where thief does not draw near nor moth destroy.
Sælger, hvad I eje, og giver Almisse! Gører eder Punge, som ikke ældes, en Skat i Himlene, som ikke slipper op, der hvor ingen Tyv kommer nær, og intet Møl ødelægger.
34 For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.
Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil ogsaa eders Hjerte være.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and lamps burning;
Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
36 and ye like men who wait their own lord whenever he may leave the wedding, that when he comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately.
Og værer I ligesom Mennesker, der vente paa deres Herre, naar han vil bryde op fra Brylluppet, for at de straks, naar han kommer og banker paa, kunne lukke op for ham.
37 Blessed are those bondmen whom the lord [on] coming shall find watching; verily I say unto you, that he will gird himself and make them recline at table, and coming up will serve them.
Salige ere de Tjenere, som Herren finder vaagne, naar han kommer. Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at han skal binde op om sig og sætte dem til Bords og gaa om og varte dem op.
38 And if he come in the second watch, and come in the third watch, and find [them] thus, blessed are those [bondmen].
Og dersom han kommer i den anden Nattevagt og kommer i den tredje Nattevagt og finder det saaledes, da ere disse Tjenere salige.
39 But this know, that if the master of the house had known in what hour the thief was coming, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be dug through.
Men dette skulle I vide, at dersom Husbonden vidste, i hvilken Time Tyven vilde komme, da vaagede han og tillod ikke, at der skete Indbrud i hans Hus.
40 And ye therefore, be ye ready, for in the hour in which ye do not think [it], the Son of man comes.
Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
41 And Peter said to him, Lord, sayest thou this parable to us, or also to all?
Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
42 And the Lord said, Who then is the faithful and prudent steward, whom his lord will set over his household, to give the measure of corn in season?
Og Herren sagde: „Hvem er vel den tro og forstandige Husholder, som Herren vil sætte over sit Tyende til at give dem den bestemte Kost i rette Tid?
43 Blessed is that bondman whom his lord [on] coming shall find doing thus;
Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
44 verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he has.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
45 But if that bondman should say in his heart, My lord delays to come, and begin to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and to drink and to be drunken,
Men dersom hin Tjener siger i sit Hjerte: „Min Herre tøver med at komme‟ og saa begynder at slaa Karlene og Pigerne og at spise og drikke og beruse sig,
46 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he does not expect it, and in an hour he knows not of, and shall cut him in two and appoint his portion with the unbelievers.
da skal den Tjeners Herre komme paa den Dag, han ikke venter, og i den Time, han ikke ved, og hugge ham sønder og give ham hans Lod sammen med de utro.
47 But that bondman who knew his own lord's will, and had not prepared [himself] nor done his will, shall be beaten with many [stripes];
Men den Tjener, som har kendt sin Herres Villie og ikke har truffet Forberedelser eller handlet efter hans Villie, skal have mange Hug;
48 but he who knew [it] not, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. And to every one to whom much has been given, much shall be required from him; and to whom [men] have committed much, they will ask from him the more.
men den, som ikke har kendt den og har gjort, hvad der er Hug værd, skal have faa Hug. Enhver, hvem meget er givet, af ham skal man kræve meget; og hvem meget er betroet, af ham skal man forlange mere.
49 I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled?
Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptised with, and how am I straitened until it shall have been accomplished!
Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
51 Think ye that I have come to give peace in the earth? Nay, I say to you, but rather division:
Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
52 for from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided; three shall be divided against two, and two against three:
Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
53 father against son, and son against father; mother against daughter, and daughter against mother; a mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
De skulle være i Splid, Fader med Søn og Søn med Fader, Moder med Datter og Datter med Moder, Svigermoder med sin Svigerdatter og Svigerdatter med sin Svigermoder.‟
54 And he said also to the crowds, When ye see a cloud rising out of the west, straightway ye say, A shower is coming; and so it happens.
Men han sagde ogsaa til Skarerne: „Naar I se en Sky komme op i Vester, sige I straks: Der kommer Regn, og det sker saaledes.
55 And when [ye see] the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it happens.
Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
56 Hypocrites, ye know how to judge of the appearance of the earth and of the heaven; how [is it then that] ye do not discern this time?
I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
57 And why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right?
Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
58 For as thou goest with thine adverse party before a magistrate, strive in the way to be reconciled with him, lest he drag thee away to the judge, and the judge shall deliver thee to the officer, and the officer cast thee into prison.
Thi medens du gaar hen med din Modpart til Øvrigheden, da gør dig Flid paa Vejen for at blive forligt med ham, for at han ikke skal trække dig for Dommeren, og Dommeren skal overgive dig til Slutteren, og Slutteren skal kaste dig i Fængsel.
59 I say unto thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence until thou hast paid the very last mite.
Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
