Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass when Jesus had finished commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence 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 But John, having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, sent by his disciples,
Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
3 and said to him, Art thou the coming [one]? or are we to wait for another?
„Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?‟
4 And Jesus answering said to them, Go, report to John what ye hear and see.
Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Gaar hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I høre og se:
5 Blind [men] see and lame walk; lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear; and dead are raised, and poor have glad tidings preached to them:
blinde se, og lamme gaa, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde staa op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
6 and blessed is whosoever shall not be offended in me.
og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.‟
7 But as they went [away], Jesus began to say to the crowds concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? a reed moved about by 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 went ye out to see? a man clothed in delicate raiment? behold, those who wear delicate things are in the houses of kings.
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 went ye 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 this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who shall 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 Verily I say to you, that there is not arisen among [the] born of women a greater than John the baptist. But he who is a little one 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 But from the days of John the baptist until now, the kingdom of the heavens is taken by violence, and [the] violent seize on 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 have prophesied unto John.
Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, who is to come.
Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
15 He that has ears to hear, let him hear.
Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
16 But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, which, 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 say, We have piped to you, and ye have not danced: we have mourned to you, and ye have not wailed.
Vi blæste paa Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.
18 For John has come 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 has come eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man [that is] eating and wine-drinking, a friend of tax-gatherers, and of sinners: — and wisdom has been justified by 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 began he to reproach the cities in which most of his works of power had taken place, because they had not repented.
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! for if the works of power which have taken place in you, had taken place in Tyre and Sidon, they had long ago repented 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 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in judgment-day than for you.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end eder.
23 And thou, Capernaum, who hast been raised up to heaven, shalt be brought down even to hades. For if the works of power which have taken place in thee, had taken place in Sodom, it had 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 But I say to you, that it shall be more tolerable for [the] land of Sodom in judgment-day than for thee.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Sodomas Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end dig.‟
25 At that time, Jesus answering said, I praise thee, Father, Lord of the heaven and of the earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them to babes.
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, for thus has it been well-pleasing in thy sight.
Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son but the Father, nor does any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son may be pleased 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 labour and are 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; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest to 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 easy, and my burden is light.
Thi mit Aag er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let.‟
