Matthew 5
1 When Jesus saw the crowds following him he went up a mountain. There he sat down together with his disciples.
Men da han så Skarerne, steg han op på Bjerget; og da han havde sat sig, gik hans Disciple hen til ham,
2 He began teaching them, saying:
og han oplod sin Mund, lærte dem og sagde:
3 “Blessed are those who recognize they are spiritually poor, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
"Salige ere de fattige i Ånden, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Salige ere de, som sørge, thi de skulle husvales.
5 Blessed are those who are kind for they will own the whole world.
Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
6 Blessed are those whose greatest desire is to do what is right, for they will be satisfied.
Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
7 Blessed are those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
8 Blessed are those who have pure minds, for they will see God.
Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
9 Blessed are those who work to bring peace, for they will be called children of God.
Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
10 Blessed are those persecuted for what is right, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.
Salige ere de, som ere forfulgte for Retfærdigheds Skyld, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
11 Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and accuse you of all kinds of evil things because of me.
Salige ere I, når man håner og forfølger eder og lyver eder alle Hånde ondt på for min Skyld.
12 Be glad, be really glad, for you will receive a great reward in heaven—for they persecuted the prophets who came before you in just the same way.
Glæder og fryder eder, thi eders Løn skal være stor i Himlene; thi således have de forfulgt Profeterne, som vare før eder.
13 You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt becomes tasteless, how can you make it salty again? It's good for nothing, so it's thrown out and trodden down.
I ere Jordens Salt; men dersom Saltet mister sin Kraft, hvormed skal det da saltes? Det duer ikke til andet end at kastes ud og nedtrædes af Menneskene.
14 You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill can't be hidden.
I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger på et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
15 No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a bucket. No, it's placed on a lamp-stand and it provides light to everyone in the house.
Man tænder heller ikke et Lys og sætter det under Skæppen, men på Lysestagen; så skinner det for alle dem, som ere i Huset.
16 In the same way you should let your light shine before everyone so they can see the good things you do and praise your heavenly Father.
Lader således eders Lys skinne for Menneskene, at de må se eders gode Gerninger og ære eders Fader, som er i Himlene.
17 Don't think I came to abolish the law or the writings of the prophets. I didn't come to abolish them, but to fulfill them.
Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at nedbryde Loven eller Profeterne; jeg er ikke kommen for at nedbryde, men for at fuldkomme.
18 I assure you, until heaven and earth come to an end, not a single letter, not a single dot of the law will come to an end before everything is fulfilled.
Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, indtil Himmelen og Jorden forgår, skal end ikke det mindste Bogstav eller en Tøddel forgå af Loven, indtil det er sket alt sammen.
19 So whoever disregards the least important commandment, and teaches people to do so, will be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches the commandments will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Derfor, den, som bryder et at de mindste af disse Bud og lærer Menneskene således, han skal kaldes den mindste i Himmeriges Rige; men den, som gør dem og lærer dem, han skal kaldes stor i Himmeriges Rige.
20 I tell you, unless your moral rightness is more than that of the religious teachers and the Pharisees, you can never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Thi jeg siger eder: Uden eders Retfærdighed overgår de skriftkloges og Farisæernes, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.
21 You've heard that the law said to the people of long ago: ‘You shall not murder, and anyone who commits murder will be condemned as guilty.’
I have hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du må ikke slå ihjel, men den, som slår ihjel, skal være skyldig for Dommen.
22 But I tell you, anyone who is angry with his brother will be condemned as guilty. Whoever calls his brother an idiot has to answer to the council, but whoever verbally abuses others is liable to the fire of judgment. (Geenna g1067)
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som bliver vred på sin Broder uden Årsag, skal være skyldig for Dommen; og den, som siger til sin Broder: Raka! skal være skyldig for Rådet; og den, som siger: Du Dåre! skal være skyldig til Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)
23 If you're at the altar making an offering, and remember that your brother has something against you,
Derfor, når du ofrer din Gave på Alteret og der kommer i Hu, at din Broder har noget imod dig,
24 leave your offering on the altar and go and make peace with him first, and afterwards come back and make your offering.
så lad din Gave blive der foran Alteret, og gå hen, forlig dig først med din Broder, og kom da og offer din Gave!
25 While you're on the way to court with your opponent, make sure you settle things quickly. Otherwise your opponent might hand you over to the judge, and the judge will hand you over to the court official, and you will be thrown into jail.
Vær velvillig mod din Modpart uden Tøven, medens du er med ham på Vejen, for at Modparten ikke skal overgive dig til Dommeren, og Dommeren til Tjeneren, og du skal kastes i Fængsel.
26 I tell you the truth: you won't get out of there until you've paid every last penny.
Sandelig, siger jeg dig, du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du får betalt den sidste Hvid.
27 You've heard that the law said, ‘Do not commit adultery.’
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du må ikke bedrive Hor.
28 But I tell you that everyone who looks lustfully at a woman has already committed adultery with her in his mind.
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som ser på en Kvinde for at begære hende, har allerede bedrevet Hor med hende i sit Hjerte.
29 If your right eye leads you to sin, then tear it out and throw it away, because it's better to lose one part of your body than to have your whole body thrown into the fire of judgment. (Geenna g1067)
Men dersom dit højre Øje forarger dig, så riv det ud, og kast det fra dig; thi det er bedre for dig, at eet af dine Lemmer fordærves, end at hele dit Legeme bliver kastet i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
30 If your right hand leads you to sin, then cut it off and throw it away, for it's better for you to lose one of your limbs than for your whole body to go into the fire of judgment. (Geenna g1067)
Og om din højre Hånd forarger dig, så hug den af og kast den fra dig; thi det er bedre for dig, at eet af dine Lemmer fordærves, end at hele dit Legeme kommer i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
31 The law also said, ‘If a man divorces his wife, he should give her a certificate of divorce.’
Og der er sagt: Den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, skal give hende et Skilsmissebrev.
32 But I tell you that any man who divorces his wife except for sexual immorality causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
Men jeg siger eder, at enhver, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, uden for Hors Skyld, gør, at hun bedriver Hor, og den, som tager en fraskilt Kvinde til Ægte, bedriver Hor.
33 And again, you've heard that the law said to the people of long ago, ‘You shall not perjure yourself. Instead make sure you keep the oaths you swear to the Lord.’
I have fremdeles hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du må ikke gøre nogen falsk Ed, men du skal holde Herren dine Eder.
34 But I tell you, don't swear at all. Don't swear by heaven, because it's the throne of God.
Men jeg siger eder, at I må aldeles ikke sværge, hverken ved Himmelen, thi den er Guds Trone,
35 Don't swear by the earth, because it's God's footstool. Don't swear by Jerusalem, because it's the city of the great King.
ej heller ved Jorden, thi den er hans Fodskammel, ej heller ved Jerusalem, thi det er den store Konges Stad.
36 Don't even swear by your head, because you're not able to make a single hair white or black.
Du må heller ikke sværge ved dit Hoved, thi du kan ikke gøre et eneste Hår hvidt eller sort.
37 Simply say yes or no—more than this comes from the evil one.
Men eders Tale skal være ja, ja, nej, nej; hvad der er ud over dette, er af det onde.
38 You've heard that the law said, ‘An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth.’
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Øje for Øje, og Tand for Tand.
39 But I tell you, don't resist someone who is evil. If someone slaps you on the right cheek, turn the other cheek to them as well.
Men jeg siger eder, at I må ikke sætte eder imod det onde; men dersom nogen giver dig et Slag på din højre Kind, da vend ham også den anden til!
40 If someone wants to sue you in court and takes your shirt, give them your coat too.
Og dersom nogen vil gå i Rette med dig og tage din Kjortel, lad ham da også få Kappen!
41 If someone demands that you go one mile, go with them two.
Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gå een Mil, da gå to med ham!
42 Give to those who ask you, and don't turn away those who want to borrow from you.
Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil låne af dig.
43 You've heard that the law said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende.
44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
Men jeg siger eder: Elsker eders Fjender, velsigner dem, som forbande eder, gører dem godt, som hade eder, og beder for dem, som krænke eder og forfølge eder,
45 so you may become children of your heavenly Father. For his sun shines on both the good and the bad; and he makes the rain fall on both those who do right and those who do wrong.
for at I må vorde eders Faders Børn, han, som er i Himlene; thi han lader sin Sol opgå over onde og gode og lader det regne over retfærdige og uretfærdige.
46 For if you only love those who love you, what reward do you have? Don't even the tax-collectors do that?
Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke også Tolderne det samme?
47 If you only speak kindly to your family, what more are you doing than anyone else? Even the heathen do that!
Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke også Hedningerne det samme?
48 Grow up and become completely trustworthy, just as your heavenly Father is trustworthy.
Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
