< Matthew 19 >
1 Now it happened, when Jesus had finished these words, that He departed from Galilee and went to the borders 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 large crowds followed Him and there He healed them.
Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.
3 The Pharisees also came to Him to test Him, saying to Him, “Is it permissible for a man to divorce his wife for just any 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 So in answer He said to them: “Have you never read that the Creator at the beginning made them a male and a female?
Men han svarede og sagde: "Have I ikke læst, at Skaberen fra Begyndelsen skabte dem som Mand og Kvinde
5 And He said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall be turned into 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 then, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God joined together let not man separate!”
Således ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, må et Menneske ikke adskille."
7 They say to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce and to dismiss her?”
De sige til ham: "Hvorfor bød da Moses at give et Skilsmissebrev og skille sig fra hende?"
8 He says to them: “Because of your hard-heartedness Moses permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it has not been so.
Han siger til dem: "Moses tilstedte eder at skille eder fra eders Hustruer for eders Hjerters Hårdheds Skyld; men fra Begyndelsen har det ikke været således.
9 And I say to you that whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another commits adultery; and whoever marries a divorcee commits adultery.”
Men jeg siger eder, at den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, når 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 that's the situation of a man with his wife, it is better not to marry!”
Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Står Mandens Sag med Hustruen således, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig."
11 So He said to them: “Not all can assimilate this word, but those to whom it has been given.
Men han sagde til dem: "Ikke alle rummer dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:
12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were castrated by men; and there are eunuchs who castrated themselves for the sake of the kingdom of the heavens. He who is able to assimilate it, let him assimilate.”
Thi der er Gildinger, som ere fødte således 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 little children were brought to Him, that He might lay hands on them and pray; but the disciples rebuked them.
Da blev der båret små Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne på dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.
14 So Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not forbid them, for of such is the kingdom of the heavens.”
Da sagde Jesus: "Lader de små Børn komme, og formener dem ikke at komme til mig; thi Himmeriges Rige hører sådanne til."
15 And after laying hands on them He moved on from there.
Og han lagde Hænderne på dem, og han drog derfra.
16 And then, a certain one came and said to Him, “Good teacher, what good thing must 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 få et evigt Liv?" (aiōnios )
17 But He said to him: “Why do you call me good? No one is good except One, God. But if you want to enter into the life, keep the commandments.”
Men han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor spørger du mig om det gode? Een er den gode. Men vil du indgå til Livet, da hold Budene!"
18 He says to Him, “Which ones?” So Jesus said: “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not give false witness,’
Han siger til ham: "Hvilke?" Men Jesus sagde: "Dette: Du må ikke slå ihjel; du må ikke bedrive Hor; du må ikke stjæle; du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd;
19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’”
ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv."
20 The young man says to Him: “I have kept all these things since my youth. What do I still lack?”
Den unge Mand siger til ham: "Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?"
21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come follow me.”
Jesus sagde til ham: "Vil du være fuldkommen, da gå bort, sælg, hvad du ejer, og giv det til fattige, så skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom så og følg mig!"
22 So upon hearing that word the young man went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.
23 Then Jesus said to His disciples: “Assuredly I say to you that only with difficulty will a rich person enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
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 eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter into the kingdom of God.”
Atter siger jeg eder: Det er lettere for en Kamel at gå igennem et Nåleøje end for en rig at gå ind i Guds Rige."
25 Upon hearing it His disciples were really flabbergasted saying, “Who then can be saved?”
Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de såre og sagde: "Hvem kan da blive frelst?"
26 So looking at them Jesus said, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Men Jesus så på dem og sagde: "For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige."
27 Then Peter answered and said to Him: “See, we have left all and followed you. So what will we have?”
Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: "Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?"
28 So Jesus said to them: “Assuredly I say to you that in the Regeneration, when the Son of the Man sits on the throne of His glory, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Men Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at i Igenfødelsen, når Menneskesønnen sidder på sin Herligheds Trone, skulle også I, som have fulgt mig, sidde på tolv Troner og dømme Israels tolv Stammer.
29 And, everyone who left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or fields for my name's sake will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit life eternal. (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 få 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.
