Luke 7
1 When he'd finished speaking to the people, Jesus left for Capernaum.
Men da han havde fuldendt alle sine Ord i Folkets Påhør, gik han ind i Kapernaum.
2 A centurion lived there who had a servant he greatly valued who was sick and was about to die.
Men en Høvedsmands Tjener, som denne holdt meget af, var syg og nær ved at dø.
3 When he heard about Jesus, the centurion sent some Jewish elders to him, asking him to come and heal his servant.
men da han hørte om Jesus, sendte han nogle af Jødernes Ældste til ham og bad ham om, at han vilde komme og helbrede hans Tjener.
4 When the elders came to Jesus, they pleaded with him strongly, saying, “Please come and do what he asks. He deserves your help,
Men da de kom til Jesus, bade de ham indtrængende og sagde: "Han er vel værd, at du gør dette for ham;
5 because he loves our people and he built a synagogue for us.”
thi han elsker vort Folk, og han har bygget Synagogen for os."
6 Jesus went with them and as they approached the house, the centurion sent some friends to Jesus to tell him, “Lord, please don't trouble yourself by coming into my house, because I'm not worthy of that.
Og Jesus gik med dem. Men da han allerede ikke var langt fra Huset, sendte Høvedsmanden nogle Venner og lod ham sige: "Herre! umag dig ikke; thi jeg er ikke værdig til, at du skal gå ind under mit Tag.
7 I didn't even think that I was worthy to come and see you. Just give the command, and my servant will be healed.
Derfor agtede jeg heller ikke mig selv værdig til at komme til dig; men sig det med et Ord, så bliver min Dreng helbredt.
8 For I'm under the authority of my superior officers, and I have soldiers under my authority too. I command one to go and he goes, another to come and he comes. I command my servant to do something and he does it.”
Jeg er jo selv et Menneske, som står under Øvrighed og har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til den ene: Gå! så går han; og til den anden: Kom! så kommer han; og til min Tjener: Gør dette! så gør han det."
9 When Jesus heard this he was astounded. He turned to the crowd that was following him, and said, “I tell you, I haven't found trust like this even in Israel.”
Men da Jesus hørte dette, forundrede han sig over ham; og han vendte sig om og sagde til Skaren, som fulgte ham: "Jeg siger eder, end ikke i Israel har jeg fundet så stor en Tro."
10 Then the centurion's friends returned to the house and found the servant in good health.
Og da de, som vare udsendte, kom tilbage til Huset, fandt de den syge Tjener sund.
11 Soon after Jesus went to a town called Nain, accompanied by his disciples and a large crowd.
Og det skete Dagen derefter, at han gik til en By, som hed Nain, og der gik mange af hans Disciple og en stor Skare med ham.
12 As he approached the town gate a funeral procession was coming the other way. The man who had died was the only son of a widow, and a sizeable crowd from the town was with her.
Men da han nærmede sig Byens Port, se, da blev en død båren ud, som var sin Moders enbårne Søn, og hun var Enke; og en stor Skare fra Byen gik med hende.
13 When the Lord saw her he was filled with compassion for her. “Don't cry,” he told her.
Og da Herren så hende, ynkedes han inderligt over hende og sagde til hende: "Græd ikke!"
14 Jesus went over to the coffin and touched it, and the pall-bearers stopped. Jesus said, “Young man, I tell you, get up.”
Og han trådte til og rørte ved Båren; men de, som bare, stode stille, og han sagde: "du unge Mand, jeg siger dig, stå op!"
15 The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus gave him back to his mother.
Og den døde rejste sig op og begyndte at tale; og han gav ham til hans Moder.
16 A sense of awe filled everyone there and they praised God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us,” and “God has visited his people.”
Men Frygt betog alle, og de priste Gud og sagde: "Der er en stor Profet oprejst iblandt os, og Gud har besøgt sit Folk."
17 News about Jesus spread throughout Judea, and all around.
Og denne Tale om ham kom ud i hele Judæa og i hele det omliggende Land.
18 The disciples of John told John about all this.
Og Johannes's Disciple fortalte ham om alt dette. Og Johannes kaldte to af sine Disciple til sig
19 John called two of his disciples and told them to go and see Jesus, and ask, “Are you the one we've been expecting, or should we wait for someone else?”
og sendte dem til Herren og lod sige: "Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"
20 When they came to Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist sent us to you, to ask you, ‘Are you the one we've been expecting or should we wait for someone else?’”
Og da Mændene kom til ham, sagde de: "Johannes Døberen har sendt os til dig og lader sige: Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"
21 At that very moment Jesus was healing many people of their diseases, illnesses, evil spirits, and making the blind to see.
I den samme Time helbredte han mange for Sygdomme og Plager og onde Ånder og skænkede mange blinde Synet.
22 Jesus answered John's disciples, “Go and tell John what you've seen and heard. The blind see, the lame walk, the lepers cured, the deaf hear, the dead raised back to life, the poor are told the good news.
Og han svarede og sagde til dem: "Går hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I have set og hørt: Blinde se, lamme gå, spedalske renses, døve høre, døde stå op, Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
23 How good it is for those who are not offended because of me!”
og salig er den, som ikke forarges på mig."
24 After the messengers from John had left, Jesus began telling the crowd, “About John: what did you expect to see when you went out to meet him in the desert? Some reed blown about by the wind?
Men da Johannes's Sendebud vare gåede bort, begyndte han at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: "Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?
25 Did you come looking for a man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who have stylish clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som leve i prægtige Klæder og i Vellevned, ere i Kongsgårdene.
26 Were you looking for a prophet? Yes he is, and I'm telling you, he's much more than a prophet.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet!
27 It was written about him in Scripture: ‘Look, I'm sending my messenger to go before you to prepare your way.’
Han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej foran dig.
28 I tell you, no one born of women is greater than John, but even the most unimportant person in God's kingdom is greater than he is!”
Jeg siger eder: Iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større Profet end Johannes; men den mindste i Guds Rige er større end han.
29 When they heard this, all of them—even the tax collectors—followed what God said was good and right, for they had been baptized by John.
Og hele Folket, som hørte ham, endog Tolderne, gav Gud Ret, idet de bleve døbte med Johannes's Dåb.
30 But the Pharisees and the religious teachers rejected what God wanted them to do, for they had refused to be baptized by John.
Men Farisæerne og de lovkyndige have foragtet Guds Råd med dem selv, idet de ikke bleve døbte af ham.
31 “What shall I compare these people to?” asked Jesus. “What are they like?
Ved hvem skal jeg da ligne denne Slægts Mennesker? og hvem ligne de?
32 They're like children sitting in the market who tell one other, ‘We played the flute for you but you didn't dance; we sang sad songs but you didn't cry.’
De ligne Børn, som sidde på Torvet og råbe til hverandre og sige: Vi blæste på Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke, vi sang Klagesange for eder, og I græd ikke.
33 When John the Baptist came he didn't eat bread or drink wine, but you say he's demon-possessed.
Thi Johannes Døberen kom, som hverken spiste Brød eller drak Vin, og I sige: Han er besat.
34 Now the Son of man is here, and eats and drinks with people, but you say, ‘Look, he spends his time eating too much food and drinking too much wine. Plus he's a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og I sige: Se, en Frådser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven!
35 However, God's wise ways are proved right by all who follow him!”
Dog Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved alle sine Børn!"
36 One of the Pharisees invited Jesus to come and eat with him. Jesus went to the Pharisee's house and sat down to the meal.
Men en af Farisæerne bad ham om, at han vilde spise med ham; og han gik ind i Farisæerens Hus og satte sig til Bords.
37 A woman who was a sinner in that town found out that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee's house. She went there, carrying an alabaster jar of perfume.
Og se, der var en Kvinde, som var en Synderinde i Byen; da hun fik at vide, at han sad til Bords i Farisæerens Hus, kom hun med en Alabastkrukke med Salve;
38 She kneeled beside Jesus and with her tears wet his feet, and dried them with her hair. She kissed his feet, and then she poured the perfume over them.
og hun stillede sig bag ved ham, ved hans Fødder og græd og begyndte at væde hans Fødder med sine Tårer og aftørrede dem med sit Hovedhår og kyssede hans Fødder og salvede dem med Salven.
39 When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this he said to himself, “If this man was really a prophet he would know who this woman was who's touching him, and what kind of person she was—that she's a sinner!”
Men da Farisæeren, som havde indbudt ham, så det, sagde han ved sig selv: "Dersom denne var en Profet, vidste han, hvem og hvordan en Kvinde denne er, som rører ved ham, at hun er en Synderinde."
40 Jesus spoke up and said, “Simon, I have something to tell you.” “Tell me, Teacher,” he responded.
Og Jesus tog til Orde og sagde til ham: "Simon! jeg har noget at sige dig." Men han siger: "Mester, sig frem!"
41 “Once two people were in debt to a money-lender. One owed five hundred denarii, the other only fifty.
"En Mand, som udlånte Penge, havde to Skyldnere; den ene var fem Hundrede Denarer skyldig. men den anden halvtredsindstyve.
42 Neither of them could repay him, so he forgave the debts. Which one will love him the most?”
Da de ikke havde noget at betale med, eftergav han dem det begge. Hvem af dem vil nu elske ham mest?"
43 “The one he forgave the most, I would think,” Simon answered. “You're absolutely right,” said Jesus.
Simon svarede og sagde: "Jeg holder for, den, hvem han eftergav mest?" Men han sagde til ham: "Du dømte ret."
44 Turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “You see this woman? When I came into your house, you didn't give me water to wash my feet. But she has washed my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair.
Og han vendte sig imod Kvinden og sagde til Simon: "Ser du denne Kvinde? Jeg kom ind i dit Hus; du gav mig ikke Vand til mine Fødder; men hun vædede mine Fødder med sine Tårer og aftørrede dem med sit Hår.
45 You didn't give me a kiss, but since I came in she hasn't stopped kissing my feet.
Du gav mig intet Kys; men hun ophørte ikke med at kysse mine Fødder, fra jeg kom herind.
46 You didn't anoint my head with oil, but she poured perfume over my feet.
Du salvede ikke mit Hoved med Olie; men hun salvede mine Fødder med Salve.
47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven—that's why she loves so much. But whoever is forgiven little, only loves a little.”
Derfor siger jeg dig: Hendes mange Synder ere hende forladte, eftersom hun elskede meget; men den, hvem lidet forlades, elsker lidet."
48 Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins have been forgiven.”
Men han sagde til hende: "Dine Synder ere forladte!"
49 Those who were sitting eating with him began talking among themselves, saying, “Who is this who even forgives sins?”
Og de, som sade til Bords med ham, begyndte at sige ved sig selv: "Hvem er denne, som endog forlader Synder?"
50 But Jesus told the woman, “Your trust has saved you, go in peace.”
Men han sagde til Kvinden: "Din Tro har frelst dig, gå bort med Fred!"
