Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and were come to Bethphage, to the mount of Olives, then sent Jesus two disciples,
Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
2 Saying to them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them to me.
„Gaar 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 And if any man say something to you, you shall say, The Lord has need of them; and straightway he will send them.
Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, saa skal han straks sende dem.‟
4 All this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying,
Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
5 Tell you the daughter of Sion, Behold, your King comes to you, meek, and sitting on an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.
„Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende paa et Asen og paa et Trældyrs Føl.‟
6 And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them,
Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
7 And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder paa dem, og han satte sig derpaa.
8 And a very great multitude spread their garments in the way; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the way.
Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder paa Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem paa Vejen.
9 And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the son of David: Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.
Men Skarerne, som gik foran ham og fulgte efter, raabte og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Hosanna i det højeste!‟
10 And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: „Hvem er denne?‟
11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee.
Men Skarerne sagde: „Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa.‟
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves,
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 And said to them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it 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 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them.
Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased,
Men da Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge saa de Undergerninger, som han gjorde, og Børnene, som raabte i Helligdommen og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn!‟ bleve de vrede og sagde til ham:
16 And said to him, Hear you what these say? And Jesus says to them, Yes; have you never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings you have perfected 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 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.
Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
18 Now in the morning as he returned into the city, he hungry.
Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev han hungrig.
19 And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said to it, Let no fruit grow on you henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. (aiōn g165)
Og han saa et Figentræ ved Vejen og gik hen til det, og han fandt intet derpaa uden Blade alene. Og han siger til det: „Aldrig i Evighed skal der vokse Frugt mere paa dig!‟ Og Figentræet visnede straks. (aiōn g165)
20 And when the disciples saw it, they marveled, saying, How soon is the fig tree withered away!
Og da Disciplene saa det, forundrede de sig og sagde: „Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?‟
21 Jesus answered and said to them, Truly I say to you, If you have faith, and doubt not, you shall not only do this which is done to the fig tree, but also if you shall say to this mountain, Be you removed, and be you cast into the sea; it shall be done.
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 And all things, whatever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.
Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I faa.‟
23 And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you these things? and 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 And Jesus answered and said to them, I also will ask you one thing, which if you tell me, I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Ogsaa jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og dersom I sige mig det, vil ogsaa jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
25 The baptism of John, from where was it? from heaven, or of men? And they reasoned with themselves, saying, If we shall say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why did you not then believe him?
Johannes's Daab, 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 shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.
Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, frygte vi for Mængden; thi de holde alle Johannes for en Profet.‟
27 And they answered Jesus, and said, We cannot tell. And he said to them, Neither tell I you by what authority I do these things.
Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: „Det vide vi ikke.‟ Da sagde ogsaa han til dem: „Saa siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
28 But what think you? A certain man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to day in my vineyard.
Men hvad tykkes eder? En Mand havde to Børn; og han gik til den første og sagde: Barn! gaa hen, arbejd i Dag i min Vingaard!
29 He answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented, and went.
Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
30 And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not.
Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
31 Whether of them two did the will of his father? They say to him, The first. Jesus says to them, Truly I say to you, That the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Hvem af de to gjorde Faderens Villie?‟ De sige: „Den første.‟ Jesus siger til dem: „Sandelig siger jeg eder, at Toldere og Skøger gaa forud for eder ind i Guds Rige.
32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and you, when you had seen it, repented not afterward, that you might believe him.
Thi Johannes kom til eder paa Retfærdigheds Vej, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men endskønt I saa det, fortrøde I det alligevel ikke bagefter, saa I troede ham.
33 Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dig a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to farmers, and went into a far country:
Hører en anden Lignelse: Der var en Husbonde, som plantede en Vingaard og satte et Gærde omkring den og gravede en Perse i den og byggede et Taarn; og han lejede den ud til Vingaardsmænd og drog udenlands.
34 And when the time of the fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the farmers, that they might receive the fruits of it.
Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingaardsmændene for at faa dens Frugter.
35 And the farmers took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Og Vingaardsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
36 Again, he sent other servants more than the first: and they did to them likewise.
Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligesaa med dem.
37 But last of all he sent to them his son, saying, They will reverence my son.
Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
38 But when the farmers saw the son, they said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance.
Men da Vingaardsmændene saa Sønnen, sagde de til hverandre: Det er Arvingen; kommer, lader os slaa ham ihjel og faa hans Arv!
39 And they caught him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and slew him.
Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel.
40 When the lord therefore of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those farmers?
Naar da Vingaardens Herre kommer, hvad vil han saa gøre med disse Vingaardsmænd?‟
41 They say to him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard to other farmers, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.
De sige til ham: „Ilde vil han ødelægge de onde og leje sin Vingaard ud til andre Vingaardsmænd, som ville give ham Frugterne i deres Tid.‟
42 Jesus says to them, Did you never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous 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 Therefore say I to you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.
Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
44 And whoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
Og den, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.‟
45 And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spoke of them.
Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
46 But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.
Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
