Luke 19
1 Jesus entered Jericho and walked through the town.
Og han kom ind i Jeriko og drog derigennem.
2 A man was there named Zacchaeus, a chief tax collector. He was very rich.
Og se, der var en Mand, som hed Zakæus; han var Overtolder, og han var rig.
3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he couldn't see over the crowd.
Og han søgte at få at se, hvem der var Jesus, og kunde ikke for Skaren, fordi han var lille af Vækst.
4 So he ran ahead, and climbed up a sycamore tree to see Jesus as he passed by.
Og han løb forud og steg op i et Morbær Figentræ, for at han kunde se ham; thi han skulde komme frem ad den Vej.
5 When Jesus got there, he looked up and said, “Zacchaeus, come down quickly! I need to stay at your house today.”
Og da Jesus kom til Stedet, så han op og blev ham var og sagde til ham: "Zakæus! skynd dig og stig ned; thi jeg skal i Dag blive i dit Hus."
6 Zacchaeus climbed down quickly and was so happy to welcome Jesus to his home.
Og han skyndte sig og steg ned og tog imod ham med Glæde.
7 When the people saw this they all complained, “He's gone to stay with such a sinner!”
Og da de så det, knurrede de alle og sagde: "Han er gået ind for at tage Herberge hos en syndig Mand."
8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said before the Lord, “Look, I'm giving half of everything I own to the poor, and if I've cheated anybody, I'll pay them back four times as much!”
Men Zakæus stod frem og sagde til Herren: "Se, Herre! Halvdelen af min Ejendom giver jeg de fattige; og dersom jeg har besveget nogen for noget, da giver jeg det fire Fold igen."
9 In response Jesus said, “Today salvation has come to this house, because this man has shown he is a son of Abraham too.
Men Jesus sagde til ham: "I Dag er der blevet dette Hus Frelse til Del, efterdi også han er en Abrahams Søn;
10 For the Son of man came to search for and save those who are lost.”
thi Menneskesønnen er kommen for at søge og frelse det fortabte."
11 While they were still paying attention, Jesus told them a story for they were close to Jerusalem and the people thought that God's kingdom was going to become a reality right away.
Men medens de hørte på dette, fortsatte han og sagde en Lignelse, fordi han var nær ved Jerusalem, og de mente, at Guds Rige skulde straks komme til Syne.
12 “Once there was a nobleman who left home to go to a distant country to be crowned king there, and then to return.
Han sagde da: "En højbåren Mand drog til et fjernt Land for at få Kongemagt og vende tilbage igen.
13 He called ten of his servants, divided money equally among them, and told them, ‘Invest this money until I return.’
Men han kaldte ti af sine Tjenere og gav dem ti Pund og sagde til dem: Købslår dermed, indtil jeg kommer.
14 But his people hated him, and sent a delegation after him to say, ‘We won't have this man as king over us.’
Men hans Medborgere hadede ham og skikkede Sendebud efter ham og lod sige: Vi ville ikke, at denne skal være Konge over os.
15 After he had been crowned king he returned. He ordered his servants brought to him. He wanted to know what profit they had made by investing the money he had given them.
Og det skete, da han kom igen, efter at han havde fået Kongemagten, sagde han, at disse Tjenere, hvem han havde givet Pengene, skulde kaldes for ham, for at han kunde få at vide, hvad hver havde vundet.
16 The first servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned ten times as much.’
Og den første trådte frem og sagde: Herre! dit Pund har erhvervet ti Pund til.
17 ‘Well done! You're a good servant,’ said the king. ‘Since you proved yourself trustworthy in a very small matter, I'm placing you in charge of ten cities.’
Og han sagde til ham: Vel, du gode Tjener! efterdi du har været tro i det mindste, skal du have Magt over ti Byer.
18 The second servant came in and said, ‘Lord, your money has earned five times as much.’
Og den anden kom og sagde: Herre! dit Pund har indbragt fem Pund.
19 ‘I'm placing you in charge of five cities,’ said the king.
Men han sagde også til denne: Og du skal være over fem Byer.
20 Another servant came in and said, ‘Lord, look, here's your money back. I kept it safe, wrapped up in a cloth.
Og en anden kom og sagde: Herre! se, her er dit Pund, som jeg har haft liggende i et Tørklæde.
21 I was afraid of you because you're a hard man. You take what doesn't belong to you, and you harvest what you didn't plant.’
Thi jeg frygtede for dig, efterdi du er en streng Mand; du tager, hvad du ikke lagde, og høster, hvad du ikke såede.
22 ‘I'll judge you by your own words,’ the king replied. ‘You know I'm a hard man, who as you say, takes what doesn't belong to me, and I harvest what I didn't plant.
Han siger til ham: Efter din egen Mund dømmer jeg dig, du onde Tjener! Du vidste, at jeg er en streng Mand, som tager, hvad jeg ikke lagde, og høster, hvad jeg ikke såede;
23 Why then didn't you deposit my money in the bank, so that when I returned I could have had my money with interest?’
hvorfor gav du da ikke mine Penge til Vekselbordet, så jeg ved min Hjemkomst kunde have krævet dem med Rente?
24 The king told those who were standing beside him, ‘Take the money away from him, and give it to the one who made ten times as much.’
Og han sagde til dem, som stode hos: Tager Pundet fra ham, og giver det til ham, som har de ti Pund.
25 ‘But master, he already has ten times as much,’ they replied.
Og de sagde til ham: Herre! han har ti Pund.
26 The king said, ‘I tell you, to those who have, more will be given; but those who do not have, even what they have will be taken away from them.
Jeg siger eder, at enhver, som har, ham skal der gives; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
27 And as for my enemies who didn't want me to be king over them, bring them here and kill them in front of me.’”
Men fører disse mine Fjender hid, som ikke vilde, at jeg skulde være Konge over dem, og hugger dem ned for mine Øjne!"
28 After he'd finished telling them this story, Jesus left for Jerusalem, walking on ahead.
Og da han havde sagt dette, gik han foran og drog op til Jerusalem.
29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples, telling them:
Og det skete, da han nærmede sig til Bethfage og Bethania ved det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget, udsendte han to af sine Disciple og sagde:
30 “Go to the village farther on. As you enter it you'll find a colt tied up that no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here.
"Går hen til den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder. Når I komme derind, skulle I finde et Føl bundet, på hvilket der endnu aldrig har siddet noget Menneske; og løser det, og fører det hid!
31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say, ‘The Lord needs it.’”
Og dersom nogen spørger eder: Hvorfor løse I det? da skulle I sige således: Herren har Brug for det."
32 So the two disciples went and found that everything was just as Jesus had said.
Men de udsendte gik hen og fandt det, ligesom han havde sagt dem.
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?”
Men da de løste Føllet, sagde dets Herrer til dem: "Hvorfor løse I Føllet?"
34 The disciples replied, “The Lord needs it.”
Og de sagde: "Herren har Brug for det."
35 They brought the colt to Jesus. Then they threw their cloaks over it, and sat Jesus on its back.
Og de førte det til Jesus, og de lagde deres Klæder på Føllet og lod Jesus sætte sig derpå.
36 As he rode along, people spread their cloaks on the road.
Og da han drog frem, bredte de deres Klæder under ham på Vejen.
37 As he approached Jerusalem, right where the road goes down from the Mount of Olives, the crowd of disciples all began shouting joyful praises to God at the top of their voices for all the miracles they had seen.
Men da han nu nærmede sig til Nedgangen fra Oliebjerget, begyndte hele Disciplenes Mængde med Glæde at prise Gud med høj Røst for alle de kraftige Gerninger, som de havde set, og de sagde:
38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord,” they shouted. “Peace in heaven and glory in highest heaven.”
"Velsignet være Kongen, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Fred i Himmelen, og Ære i det højeste!"
39 Some of the Pharisees who were in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, stop your disciples from saying that.”
Og nogle af Farisæerne i Skaren sagde til ham: "Mester! irettesæt dine Disciple!"
40 But Jesus replied, “I tell you that if they kept quiet then the stones will shout!”
Og han svarede og sagde til dem: "Jeg siger eder, at hvis disse tie, skulle Stenene råbe."
41 But as he got closer, he saw the city and wept over it.
Og da han kom nær til og så Staden, græd han over den og sagde:
42 “I really wish today that you, even you, had known the path that leads to peace!” he said. “But now it's hidden from your eyes.
"Vidste dog også du, ja, selv på denne din Dag, hvad der tjener til din Fred! Men nu er det skjult for dine Øjne.
43 The time is coming upon you when your enemies will besiege you, building ramps to attack you, encircling you and closing you in from every side.
Thi der skal komme Dage over dig, da dine Fjender skulle kaste en Vold op omkring dig og omringe dig og trænge dig alle Vegne fra;
44 They will smash you to the ground, you and your children within you. They won't leave one stone on another within you, for you refused to accept salvation when it came to you.”
og de skulle lægge dig helt øde og dine Børn i dig og ikke lade Sten på Sten tilbage i dig, fordi du ikke kendte din Besøgelses Tid."
45 Jesus entered the Temple and began driving out all the people trading there.
Og han gik ind i Helligdommen og begyndte at uddrive dem, som solgte,
46 He told them, “Scriptures state that ‘my house will be a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
og sagde til dem: "Der er skrevet: Og mit Hus er et Bedehus; men I have gjort det til en Røverkule."
47 He was teaching in the Temple every day. The chief priests, the religious teachers, and the leaders of the people were trying to kill him.
Og han lærte daglig i Helligdommen; men Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge og de første i Folket søgte at slå ham ihjel.
48 But they couldn't find a way to do it because everyone appreciated him, hanging on his every word.
Og de fandt ikke, hvad de skulde gøre; thi hele Folket hang ved ham og hørte ham.
