Matthew 5
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
Men da han saa Skarerne, steg han op paa Bjerget; og da han havde sat sig, gik hans Disciple hen til ham,
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
og han oplod sin Mund, lærte dem og sagde:
3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
„Salige ere de fattige i Aanden, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
4 Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Salige ere de, som sørge, thi de skulle husvales.
5 Blessed [are] the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
6 Blessed [are] they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
7 Blessed [are] the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
8 Blessed [are] the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
9 Blessed [are] the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Salige ere de, som ere forfulgte for Retfærdigheds Skyld, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
11 Blessed are ye, when [men] shall revile you, and persecute [you], and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Salige ere I, naar man haaner og forfølger eder og lyver eder alle Haande ondt paa for min Skyld.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great [is] your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
Glæder og fryder eder, thi eders Løn skal være stor i Himlene; thi saaledes have de forfulgt Profeterne, som vare før eder.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
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 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger paa et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
Man tænder heller ikke et Lys og sætter det under Skæppen, men paa Lysestagen; saa skinner det for alle dem, som ere i Huset.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Lader saaledes eders Lys skinne for Menneskene, at de maa se eders gode Gerninger og ære eders Fader, som er i Himlene.
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at nedbryde Loven eller Profeterne; jeg er ikke kommen for at nedbryde, men for at fuldkomme.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, indtil Himmelen og Jorden forgaar, skal end ikke det mindste Bogstav eller en Tøddel forgaa af Loven, indtil det er sket alt sammen.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
Derfor, den, som bryder et af de mindste af disse Bud og lærer Menneskene saaledes, han skal kaldes den mindste i Himmeriges Rige; men den, som gør dem og lærer dem, han skal kaldes stor i Himmeriges Rige.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed [the righteousness] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Thi jeg siger eder: Uden eders Retfærdighed overgaar de skriftkloges og Farisæernes, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.
21 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:
I have hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du maa ikke slaa ihjel, men den, som slaar ihjel, skal være skyldig for Dommen.
22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Geenna g1067)
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som bliver vred paa sin Broder uden Aarsag, skal være skyldig for Dommen; og den, som siger til sin Broder: Raka! skal være skyldig for Raadet; og den, som siger: Du Daare! skal være skyldig til Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)
23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Derfor, naar du ofrer din Gave paa Alteret og der kommer i Hu, at din Broder har noget imod dig,
24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
saa lad din Gave blive der foran Alteret, og gaa hen, forlig dig først med din Broder, og kom da og offer din Gave!
25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Vær velvillig mod din Modpart uden Tøven, medens du er med ham paa Vejen, for at Modparten ikke skal overgive dig til Dommeren, og Dommeren til Tjeneren, og du skal kastes i Fængsel.
26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.
Sandelig, siger jeg dig, du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt den sidste Hvid.
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du maa ikke bedrive Hor.
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som ser paa en Kvinde for at begære hende, har allerede bedrevet Hor med hende i sit Hjerte.
29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Men dersom dit højre Øje forarger dig, saa 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 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Og om din højre Haand forarger dig, saa 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 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
Og der er sagt: Den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, skal give hende et Skilsmissebrev.
32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth 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 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:
I have fremdeles hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du maa ikke gøre nogen falsk Ed, men du skal holde Herren dine Eder.
34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne:
Men jeg siger eder, at I maa aldeles ikke sværge, hverken ved Himmelen, thi den er Guds Trone,
35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is 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 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Du maa heller ikke sværge ved dit Hoved, thi du kan ikke gøre et eneste Haar hvidt eller sort.
37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.
Men eders Tale skal være ja, ja, nej, nej; hvad der er ud over dette, er af det onde.
38 Ye have heard that it hath been 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 say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Men jeg siger eder, at I maa ikke sætte eder imod det onde; men dersom nogen giver dig et Slag paa din højre Kind, da vend ham ogsaa den anden til!
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have [thy] cloke also.
Og dersom nogen vil gaa i Rette med dig og tage din Kjortel, lad ham da ogsaa faa Kappen!
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gaa een Mil, da gaa to med ham!
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil laane af dig.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and 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 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
for at I maa vorde eders Faders Børn, han, som er i Himlene; thi han lader sin Sol opgaa over onde og gode og lader det regne over retfærdige og uretfærdige.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Tolderne det samme?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more [than others]? do not even the publicans so?
Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Hedningerne det samme?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
