Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
Da blev Jesus af Aanden ført op i Ørkenen for at fristes af Djævelen.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
Og da han havde fastet fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, blev han omsider hungrig.
3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Og Fristeren gik til ham og sagde: „Er du Guds Søn, da sig, at disse Stene skulle blive Brød.‟
4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
Men han svarede og sagde: „Der er skrevet: Mennesket skal ikke leve af Brød alene, men af hvert Ord, som udgaar igennem Guds Mund.‟
5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
Da tager Djævelen ham med sig til den hellige Stad og stiller ham paa Helligdommens Tinde og siger til ham:
6 And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
„Er du Guds Søn, da kast dig herned; thi der er skrevet: Han skal give sine Engle Befaling om dig, og de skulle bære dig paa Hænder, for at du ikke skal støde din Fod paa nogen Sten.‟
7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Jesus sagde til ham: „Der er atter skrevet: Du maa ikke friste Herren din Gud.‟
8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
Atter tager Djævelen ham med sig op paa et saare højt Bjerg og viser ham alle Verdens Riger og deres Herlighed; og han sagde til ham:
9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
„Alt dette vil jeg give dig, dersom du vil falde ned og tilbede mig.‟
10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
Da siger Jesus til ham: „Vig bort, Satan! thi der er skrevet: Du skal tilbede Herren din Gud og tjene ham alene.‟
11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
Da forlader Djævelen ham, og se, Engle kom til ham og tjente ham.
12 And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:
Men da Jesus hørte, at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, drog han bort til Galilæa.
13 And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;
Og han forlod Nazareth og kom og tog Bolig i Kapernaum, som ligger ved Søen, i Sebulons og Nafthalis Egne,
14 That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:
for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
„Sebulons Land og Nafthalis Land langs Søen, Landet hinsides Jordan, Hedningernes Galilæa,
16 The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.
det Folk, som sad i Mørke, har set et stort Lys, og for dem, som sad i Dødens Land og Skygge, for dem er der opgaaet et Lys.‟
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Fra den Tid begyndte Jesus at prædike og sige: „Omvender eder, thi Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.‟
18 And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
Men da han vandrede ved Galilæas Sø, saa han to Brødre, Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, i Færd med at kaste Garn i Søen; thi de vare Fiskere.
19 And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
Og han siger til dem: „Følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gøre eder til Menneskefiskere.‟
20 And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.
Og de forlode straks Garnene og fulgte ham.
21 And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.
Og da han derfra gik videre, saa han to andre Brødre, Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder, i Skibet med deres Fader Zebedæus, i Færd med at bøde deres Garn, og han kaldte paa dem.
22 And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
Og de forlode straks Skibet og deres Fader og fulgte ham.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people.
Og Jesus gik omkring i hele Galilæa, idet han lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredte enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed iblandt Folket.
24 And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and he cured them:
Og hans Ry kom ud over hele Syrien; og de bragte til ham alle dem, som lede af mange Haande Sygdomme og vare plagede af Lidelser, baade besatte og maanesyge og værkbrudne; og han helbredte dem.
25 And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
Og store Skarer fulgte ham fra Galilæa og Dekapolis og Jerusalem og Judæa og fra Landet hinsides Jordan.
