Matthew 21
1 Jesus and his disciples went to Jerusalem. As they were getting close, they came to the village of Bethphage on the Mount of Olives. Jesus sent two disciples on ahead,
Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
2 telling them, “Go into the village. Right there you'll find a donkey tied up with a colt. Untie them and bring them to me.
"Går hen i den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder; og straks skulle I finde en Aseninde bunden og et Føl hos hende; løser dem og fører dem til mig!
3 If anyone asks you what you're doing, just tell them, ‘The Lord needs them,’ and they will send them right away.”
Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, så skal han straks sende dem."
4 This was to fulfill what the prophet said:
Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
5 “Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your King is coming to you. He is humble, and rides a donkey, and a colt, the offspring of a donkey.’”
"Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende på et Asen og på et Trældyrs Føl."
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed.
Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
7 They brought back the donkey and the colt. They placed their cloaks on them, and he sat on them.
og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder på dem, og han satte sig derpå.
8 Many people in the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and laid them on the road.
Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder på Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem på Vejen.
9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed were all shouting, “Hosanna to the son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”
Men Skarerne, som gik foran ham og fulgte efter, råbte og sagde: "Hosanna Davids Søn! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Hosanna i det højeste!"
10 When Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar. “Who is this?” they were asking.
Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: "Hvem er denne?"
11 “This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee,” the crowds replied.
Men Skarerne sagde: "Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa."
12 Jesus went into the Temple, and threw out all the people buying and selling. He overturned the tables of the money-changers and the chairs of the dove-sellers.
Og Jesus gik ind i Guds Helligdom og uddrev alle dem, som solgte og købte i Helligdommen, og han væltede Vekselerernes Borde og Duekræmmernes Stole.
13 He told them, “Scripture says, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you've turned it into a den of thieves.”
Og han siger til dem: "Der er skrevet: Mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus; men I gøre det til en Røverkule."
14 The blind and the lame came to Jesus in the Temple, and he healed them.
Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
15 But when the chief priests and religious teachers saw the wonderful miracles he did, and the children shouting in the Temple, “Hosanna to the son of David,” they were offended. “Do you hear what these children are saying?” they asked him.
Men da Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge så de Undergerninger, som han gjorde, og Børnene, som råbte i Helligdommen og sagde: "Hosanna Davids Søn!" bleve de vrede og sagde til ham:
16 “Yes,” Jesus replied. “Haven't you ever read the Scripture that says, ‘You arranged for children and infants to give you perfect praise’?”
"Hører du, hvad disse sige?" Men Jesus siger til dem: "Ja! have I aldrig læst: Af umyndiges og diendes Mund har du beredt dig Lovsang?"
17 Jesus left them and went out of the city to stay at Bethany.
Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
18 The next morning as he walked back into the city, he was hungry.
Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev hen hungrig.
19 He saw a fig tree at the side of the road, so he went over to it but didn't find any fruit, only leaves. He told the fig tree, “May you never ever produce fruit again!” Immediately the fig tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Og han så et Figentræ ved Vejen og gik hen til det, og han fandt intet derpå uden Blade alene. Og han siger til det: "Aldrig i Evighed skal der vokse Frugt mere på dig!" Og Figentræet visnede straks. (aiōn g165)
20 The disciples were amazed to see this. “How did the fig tree wither so suddenly?” they asked.
Og da Disciplene så det, forundrede de sig og sagde: "Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?"
21 “I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “If you really trust in God, and don't doubt him, you could not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even more. If you said to this mountain, ‘Get up and throw yourself into the sea,’ it would happen!
Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro og ikke tvivle, da skulle I ikke alene kunne gøre det med Figentræet, men dersom I endog sige til dette Bjerg: Løft dig op og kast dig i Havet, da skal det ske.
22 You will receive everything you ask for in prayer, as long as you trust in God.”
Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I få."
23 Jesus went into the Temple. The chief priests and the ruling elders of the people came to him while he was teaching and asked, “By what authority are you doing these things? Who gave you this authority?”
Og da han kom ind i Helligdommen, kom Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste hen til ham, medens han lærte, og de sagde: "Af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, og hvem har givet dig denne Magt?"
24 “I too will ask you a question,” Jesus replied. “If you give me the answer, I will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Også jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og dersom I sige mig det, vil også jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
25 Where did the baptism of John come from? Was it from heaven, or was it from human beings?” They argued with each other. “If we say ‘it was from heaven,’ then he'll ask us why we didn't believe him.
Johannes's Dåb, hvorfra var den? Fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?" Men de tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: "Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige til os: Hvorfor troede I ham da ikke?
26 But if we say, ‘it was from human beings,’ then the crowd will turn against us, because they all consider John to be a prophet.”
Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, frygte vi for Mængden; thi de holde alle Johannes for en Profet."
27 So they answered Jesus, “We don't know.” “Then I won't tell you by what authority I'm doing these things,” Jesus replied.
Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: "Det vide vi ikke." Da sagde også han til dem: "Så siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
28 “But what do you think about this illustration? Once there was a man who had two sons. He went to the first son, and said, ‘Son, go and work in the vineyard today.’
Men hvad tykkes eder? En Mand havde to Børn; og han gik til den første og sagde: Barn! gå hen, arbejd i Dag i min Vingård!
29 The son answered, ‘I won't,’ but afterwards he was sorry for what he said and he did go.
Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
30 The man went to the second son, and told him the same thing. He replied, ‘I'll go,’ but he didn't.
Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligeså. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
31 Which of the two sons did what his father wanted?” “The first,” they answered. “I tell you the truth: tax-collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you,” Jesus told them.
Hvem af de to gjorde Faderens Villie?" De sige: "Den første." Jesus siger til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at Toldere og Skøger gå forud for eder ind i Guds Rige.
32 “John came to show you the way to live right with God, and you didn't believe him, but the tax-collectors and prostitutes did believe him. Later, when you saw what happened, you still didn't repent and believe him.
Thi Johannes kom til eder på Retfærdigheds Vej, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men endskønt I så det, fortrøde I det alligevel ikke bagefter, så I troede ham.
33 Here's another illustration. There once was a man, a landowner, who planted a vineyard. He put a fence around it, made a winepress, and built a watchtower. He rented it to some tenant farmers, and then left to go to a different country.
Hører en anden Lignelse: Der var en Husbond, som plantede en Vingård og satte et Gærde omkring den og gravede en Perse i den og byggede et Tårn; og han lejede den ud til Vingårdsmænd og drog udenlands.
34 At harvest time, he sent his servants to the farmers to collect the fruit that belonged to him.
Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingårdsmændene for at få dens Frugter.
35 But the farmers attacked his servants. They beat one, killed another, and stoned another.
Og Vingårdsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
36 So he sent more servants, but the farmers did the same things to them.
Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligeså med dem.
37 So then he sent his son. ‘They will respect my son,’ he told himself.
Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
38 But the farmers, when they saw the son, said to each other, ‘Here's the heir! Come on! Let's kill him so we can take his inheritance!’
Men da Vingårdsmændene så Sønnen, sagde de til hverandre: Det er Arvingen; kommer lader os slå ham ihjel og få hans Arv!
39 They grabbed him, threw him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingården og sloge ham ihjel.
40 When the vineyard owner returns, what will he do to those farmers?”
Når da Vingårdens Herre kommer, hvad vil han så gøre med disse Vingårdsmænd?"
41 The chief priests and elders said to Jesus, “He will put to death those wicked men in the most awful way, and rent out the vineyard to other farmers who will be sure to give him his fruit at harvest time.”
De sige til ham: "Ilde vil han ødelægge de onde og leje sin Vingård ud til andre Vingårdsmænd, som ville give ham Frugterne i deres Tid."
42 “So haven't you read this in the Scriptures?” Jesus asked them. “‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. The Lord has done this, and it is wonderful in our eyes.’
Jesus siger til dem: "Have I aldrig læst i Skrifterne: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten; fra Herren er dette kommet, og det er underligt for vore Øjne.
43 That's why I'm telling you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a people who produce the right kind of fruit.
Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
44 Anyone who falls on this stone will be broken, but it will completely crush anyone it falls upon.”
Og den, som falder på denne Sten, skal slå sig sønder; men hvem den falder på, ham skal den knuse."
45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his illustrations, they realized he was speaking about them.
Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
46 They wanted him arrested, but they were afraid of what the people would do because the people believed he was a prophet.
Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
