Matthew 12
1 Around that time Jesus was walking through fields of grain on the Sabbath day. His disciples were hungry so they started to pick ears of grain and eat them.
Paa den Tid vandrede Jesus paa Sabbaten igennem en Sædemark; men hans Disciple bleve hungrige og begyndte at plukke Aks og at spise.
2 When the Pharisees saw this they said to Jesus, “Look at your disciples—they're doing what isn't allowed on the Sabbath!”
Men da Farisæerne saa det, sagde de til ham: „Se, dine Disciple gøre, hvad det ikke er tilladt at gøre paa en Sabbat.‟
3 But Jesus told them, “Haven't you read what David did when he and his men were hungry?
Men han sagde til dem: „Have I ikke læst, hvad David gjorde, da han blev hungrig og de, som vare med ham?
4 He went into the house of God, and he and his men ate the sacred bread that they weren't allowed to eat since it's only for the priests.
hvorledes han gik ind i Guds Hus og spiste Skuebrødene, som det ikke var ham tilladt at spise, ej heller dem, som vare med ham, men alene Præsterne?
5 Haven't you read in the law that on the Sabbath day the priests in the Temple break the Sabbath but are not considered guilty?
Eller have I ikke læst i Loven, at paa Sabbaterne vanhellige Præsterne Sabbaten i Helligdommen og ere dog uden Skyld?
6 However, I tell you that someone is here who is greater than the Temple!
Men jeg siger eder, at her er det, som er større end Helligdommen.
7 If you'd known the meaning of this Scripture, ‘I want mercy, and not sacrifice,’ you wouldn't have condemned an innocent man.
Men dersom I havde vidst, hvad det Ord betyder: Jeg har Lyst til Barmhjertighed og ikke til Offer, da havde I ikke fordømt dem, som ere uden Skyld.
8 For the Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
Thi Menneskesønnen er Herre over Sabbaten.‟
9 Then Jesus left and went into their synagogue.
Og han gik videre derfra og kom ind i deres Synagoge.
10 A man was there with a crippled hand. “Does the law allow healing on the Sabbath?” they asked him, looking for a reason to accuse him.
Og se, der var en Mand, som havde en vissen Haand; og de spurgte ham ad og sagde: „Er det tilladt at helbrede paa Sabbaten?‟ for at de kunde anklage ham.
11 “Suppose you have a sheep and it falls into a hole in the ground on the Sabbath. Don't you grab hold of it and pull it out?” Jesus asked them.
Men han sagde til dem: „Hvilket Menneske er der iblandt eder, som har kun eet Faar, og ikke tager fat paa det og drager det op, dersom det paa Sabbaten falder i en Grav?
12 “Don't you think a human being is worth much more than a sheep? So yes, you are allowed to do good on the Sabbath.”
Hvor meget er nu ikke et Menneske mere end et Faar? Altsaa er det tilladt at gøre vel paa Sabbaten.‟
13 Then he said to the man, “Hold out your hand.” The man held out his hand, and it was healed, just as healthy as the other hand.
Da siger han til Manden: „Ræk din Haand ud!‟ og han rakte den ud, og den blev igen sund som den anden.
14 But the Pharisees went out and plotted how to kill Jesus.
Men Farisæerne gik ud og lagde Raad op imod ham, hvorledes de kunde slaa ham ihjel.
15 Knowing this, Jesus left, with large crowds following him. He healed all of them,
Men da Jesus mærkede det, drog han bort derfra; og mange fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem alle.
16 but instructed them not to tell people who he was.
Og han bød dem strengt, at de ikke maatte gøre ham kendt;
17 This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said:
for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
18 “This is my servant whom I've chosen, The one I love, who pleases me. I will put my Spirit on him, And he will tell the foreigners what's right.
„Se, min Tjener, som jeg har udvalgt, min elskede, i hvem min Sjæl har Velbehag; jeg vil give min Aand over ham, og han skal forkynde Hedningerne Ret.
19 He won't argue, he won't shout out, And nobody will hear his voice in the streets.
Han skal ikke kives og ikke raabe, og ingen skal høre hans Røst paa Gaderne.
20 He won't break a damaged reed, And he won't extinguish a smoking wick, Until he has proved that his judgment is right,
Han skal ikke sønderbryde det knækkede Rør og ikke udslukke den rygende Tande, indtil han faar ført Retten frem til Sejr.
21 And foreigners will put their hope in him.”
Og paa hans Navn skulle Hedninger haabe.‟
22 Then a man was brought to Jesus who was demon-possessed and blind and dumb. Jesus healed him, so that the dumb man could speak and see.
Da blev en besat, som var blind og stum, ført til ham; og han helbredte ham, saa at den stumme talte og saa.
23 All the crowds were amazed, and asked, “Could this really be the son of David?”
Og alle Skarerne forfærdedes og sagde: „Mon denne skulde være Davids Søn?‟
24 But when the Pharisees heard this, they replied, “This man can only throw out demons through the power of Beelzebub, the chief of demons!”
Men da Farisæerne hørte det, sagde de: „Denne uddriver ikke de onde Aander uden ved Beelzebul, de onde Aanders Fyrste.‟
25 Knowing what they were thinking, Jesus told them, “Any kingdom that is divided against itself will be destroyed. No town or household that is divided against itself can stand.
Men saasom han kendte deres Tanker, sagde han til dem: „Hvert Rige, som er kommet i Splid med sig selv, lægges øde; og hver By eller Hus, som er kommet i Splid med sig selv, kan ikke bestaa.
26 If Satan drives out Satan, then he's divided against himself—so how could his kingdom stand?
Og hvis Satan uddriver Satan, saa er han kommen i Splid med sig selv; hvorledes skal da hans Rige bestaa?
27 If I'm throwing out demons in the name of Beelzebub, in whose name are your people throwing out demons? Your own people prove you're wrong!
Og dersom jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Beelzebul, ved hvem uddrive da eders Sønner dem? Derfor skulle de være eders Dommere.
28 But if I'm throwing out demons through the power of the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come to you!
Men dersom jeg uddriver de onde Aander ved Guds Aand, da er jo Guds Rige kommet til eder.
29 Can you enter a strong man's house and take his belongings unless you tie him up first? If you do that then you can take everything in his house.
Eller hvorledes kan nogen gaa ind i den stærkes Hus og røve hans Ejendele, uden han først binder den stærke? Da kan han plyndre hans Hus.
30 Those who are not with me are against me, and those who do not gather together with me do the opposite: they are scattering.
Den, som ikke er med mig, er imod mig; og den, som ikke samler med mig, adspreder.
31 That's why I'm telling you that every sin and blasphemy you commit will be forgiven, except blasphemy against the Spirit which won't be forgiven.
Derfor siger jeg eder: Al Synd og Bespottelse skal forlades Menneskene, men Bespottelsen imod Aanden skal ikke forlades.
32 Those who say something against the Son of man will be forgiven, but those who say something against the Holy Spirit won't be forgiven, neither in this life nor the next. (aiōn g165)
Og den, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som taler imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades, hverken i denne Verden eller i den kommende. (aiōn g165)
33 Either decide that the tree is good, and its fruit is good, or decide that the tree is bad and its fruit is bad—for the tree is known by its fruit.
Lader enten Træet være godt og dets Frugt god; eller lader Træet være raaddent, og dets Frugt raadden; thi Træet kendes paa Frugten.
34 You viper's brood, how can you who are evil say anything good? For your mouth simply says what your mind is busy thinking about.
I Øgleunger! hvorledes kunne I tale godt, naar I ere onde? Thi af Hjertets Overflødighed taler Munden.
35 A good person brings out good from their store of good things, and an evil person brings out evil from their store of evil things.
Et godt Menneske fremtager gode Ting af sit gode Forraad; og et ondt Menneske fremtager onde Ting af sit onde Forraad.
36 I tell you, people will have to account for every careless thing they say on the Day of Judgment.
Men jeg siger eder, at Menneskene skulle gøre Regnskab paa Dommens Dag for hvert utilbørligt Ord, som de tale.
37 For what you say will either vindicate you or condemn you.”
Thi af dine Ord skal du retfærdiggøres, og af dine Ord skal du fordømmes.‟
38 Then some of the religious teachers and Pharisees came to him and said, “Teacher, we want you to show us a miraculous sign.”
Da svarede nogle af de skriftkloge og Farisæerne ham og sagde: „Mester! vi ønske at se et Tegn af dig.‟
39 “Evil people who don't trust in God are the ones who look for a miraculous sign. The only sign they will be given is the sign of the prophet Jonah,” Jesus told them.
Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „En ond og utro Slægt forlanger Tegn, men der skal intet Tegn gives den uden Profeten Jonas's Tegn.
40 “In the same way Jonah was in the belly of a huge fish for three days and three nights, the Son of man will lie in the earth for three days and three nights.
Thi ligesom Jonas var tre Dage og tre Nætter i Havdyrets Bug, saaledes skal Menneskesønnen være tre Dage og tre Nætter i Jordens Skød.
41 The people of Nineveh will rise in the judgment together with this generation and they will condemn it because they repented in response to Jonah's message—and as you see, there's someone greater than Jonah here!
Mænd fra Ninive skulle opstaa ved Dommen sammen med denne Slægt og fordømme den; thi de omvendte sig ved Jonas's Prædiken; og se, her er mere end Jonas.
42 The Queen of the South will be raised in the judgment together with this generation and will condemn it because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon—and as you see, there's someone greater than Solomon here!
Sydens Dronning skal oprejses ved Dommen sammen med denne Slægt og fordømme den; thi hun kom fra Jordens Grænser for at høre Salomons Visdom; og se, her er mere end Salomon.
43 When an evil spirit leaves someone, it wanders through deserted places looking for rest, and finds nowhere to stay.
Men naar den urene Aand er faren ud af Mennesket, vandrer den igennem vandløse Steder, søger Hvile og finder den ikke.
44 So it says, ‘I'll go back to the place I left,’ and when it returns it finds the place empty, all clean and tidy.
Da siger den: Jeg vil vende om til mit Hus, som jeg gik ud af; og naar den kommer, finder den det ledigt, fejet og prydet.
45 Then it goes and brings back seven other spirits even more evil than it is, and it enters and lives there. So the person ends up worse than they were at the beginning. That's the way it will be with this evil generation.”
Saa gaar den hen og tager syv andre Aander med sig, som ere værre end den selv, og naar de ere komne derind, bo de der; og det sidste bliver værre med dette Menneske end det første. Saaledes skal det ogsaa gaa denne onde Slægt.‟
46 While he was speaking to the crowds, his mother and his brothers arrived and stood outside, wanting to talk to him.
Medens han endnu talte til Skarerne, se, da stode hans Moder og hans Brødre udenfor og begærede at tale med ham.
47 Someone came and told him, “Look, your mother and brothers are outside, wanting to talk to you.”
Da sagde en til ham: „Se, din Moder og dine Brødre staa udenfor og begære at tale med dig.‟
48 “Who is my mother? Who are my brothers?” Jesus asked.
Men han svarede og sagde til den, som sagde ham det: „Hvem er min Moder? og hvem ere mine Brødre?‟
49 He pointed at his disciples, and said, “Look, they are my mother and my brothers!
Og han rakte sin Haand ud over sine Disciple og sagde: „Se, her er min Moder og mine Brødre!
50 For those who do the will of my heavenly Father, they are my brother, sister, and mother!”
Thi enhver, der gør min Faders Villie, som er i Himlene, han er min Broder og Søster og Moder.‟
