Mark 4
1 And again He began to teach by the sea, and there was gathered to Him a great multitude, so that He, having gone into the boat, sat in the sea, and all the multitude was near the sea, on the land,
Og han begyndte atter at lære ved Søen. Og en meget stor Skare samles om ham, saa at han maatte gaa om Bord og sætte sig i et Skib paa Søen; og hele Skaren var paa Land ved Søen.
2 and He taught them many things in allegories, and He said to them in His teaching:
Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
3 “Listen, behold, the sower went forth to sow;
„Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
4 and it came to pass, in the sowing, some fell by the way, and the birds of the sky came and devoured it;
Og det skete, idet han saaede, at noget faldt ved Vejen, og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
5 and other fell on the rocky ground, where it did not have much earth, and immediately it sprang forth, because of having no depth of earth,
Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
6 and the sun having risen, it was scorched, and because of having no root it withered;
Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
7 and other fell toward the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it gave no fruit;
Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
8 and other fell to the good ground, and was giving fruit, coming up and increasing, and it was bearing, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
Og noget faldt i god Jord og bar Frugt, som skød frem og voksede, og det bar tredive og tresindstyve og hundrede Fold.‟
9 And He said to them, “He who is having ears to hear—let him hear.”
Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
10 And when He was alone, those around Him, with the Twelve, asked Him of the allegory,
Og da han blev ene, spurgte de, som vare om ham, tillige med de tolv ham om Lignelserne.
11 and He said to them, “To you it has been given to know the secret of the Kingdom of God, but to those who are outside, in allegories are all the things done,
Og han sagde til dem: „Eder er Guds Riges Hemmelighed givet; men dem, som ere udenfor, meddeles alt ved Lignelser,
12 that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.”
for at de, skønt seende, skulle se og ikke indse og, skønt hørende, skulle høre og ikke forstaa, for at de ikke skulle omvende sig og faa Forladelse.‟
13 And He says to them, “Have you not known this allegory? And how will you know all the allegories?
Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
14 He who is sowing sows the word;
Sædemanden saar Ordet.
15 and these are they by the way where the word is sown: and whenever they may hear, Satan immediately comes, and he takes away the word that has been sown in their hearts.
Men de ved Vejen, det er dem, hvor Ordet bliver saaet, og naar de høre det, kommer straks Satan og borttager Ordet, som er saaet i dem.
16 And these are they, in like manner, who are sown on the rocky ground: who, whenever they may hear the word, immediately receive it with joy,
Og ligeledes de, som blive saaede paa Stengrunden, det er dem, som, naar de høre Ordet, straks modtage det med Glæde;
17 and have no root in themselves, but are temporary; afterward tribulation or persecution having come because of the word, immediately they are stumbled.
og de have ikke Rod i sig, men holde kun ud til en Tid; derefter, naar der kommer Trængsel eller Forfølgelse for Ordets Skyld, forarges de straks.
18 And these are they who are sown toward the thorns: these are they who are hearing the word,
Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
19 and the anxieties of this age, and the deceitfulness of the riches, and the desires concerning the other things, entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
og denne Verdens Bekymringer og Rigdommens Forførelse og Begæringerne efter de andre Ting komme ind og kvæle Ordet, saa det bliver uden Frugt. (aiōn g165)
20 And these are they who on the good ground have been sown: who hear the word, and receive, and bear fruit, one thirty-fold, and one sixty, and one a hundred.”
Og de, der bleve saaede i god Jord, det er dem, som høre Ordet og modtage det og bære Frugt, tredive og tresindstyve og hundrede Fold.‟
21 And He said to them, “Does the lamp come that it may be put under the measure, or under the bed—not that it may be put on the lampstand?
Og han sagde til dem: „Mon Lyset kommer ind for at sættes under Skæppen eller under Bænken? Mon ikke for at sættes paa Lysestagen?
22 For there is not anything hid that may not be revealed, nor was anything kept hid but that it may come to light.
Thi ikke er noget skjult uden for at aabenbares; ej heller er det blevet lønligt uden for at komme for Lyset.
23 If any has ears to hear—let him hear.”
Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!‟
24 And He said to them, “Take heed what you hear; in what measure you measure, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear it will be added;
Og han sagde til dem: „Agter paa, hvad I høre! Med hvad Maal I maale, skal der tilmaales eder, og der skal gives eder end mere.
25 for whoever may have, there will be given to him, and whoever has not, also that which he has will be taken from him.”
Thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.‟
26 And He said, “Thus is the Kingdom of God: as if a man may cast the seed on the earth,
Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
27 and may sleep, and may rise night and day, and the seed springs up and grows, he has not known how;
og sover og staar op Nat og Dag, og Sæden spirer og bliver høj, han ved ej selv hvorledes.
28 for of itself the earth bears fruit, first a blade, afterward an ear, afterward full grain in the ear;
Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
29 and whenever the fruit may yield itself, immediately he sends forth the sickle, because the harvest has come.”
men naar Frugten er tjenlig, sender han straks Seglen ud; thi Høsten er for Haanden.‟
30 And He said, “To what may we liken the Kingdom of God, or in what allegory may we compare it?
Og han sagde: „Hvormed skulle vi ligne Guds Rige, eller under hvilken Lignelse skulle vi fremstille det?
31 As a grain of mustard, which, whenever it may be sown on the earth, is less than any of the seeds that are on the earth;
Det er som et Sennepskorn, som, naar det saas i Jorden, er mindre end alt andet Frø paa Jorden,
32 and whenever it may be sown, it comes up, and becomes greater than any of the herbs, and makes great branches, so that under its shade the birds of the sky are able to rest.”
og naar det er saaet, vokser det op og bliver større end alle Urterne og skyder store Grene, saa at Himmelens Fugle kunne bygge Rede i dets Skygge.‟
33 And with many such allegories He was speaking to them the word, as they were able to hear,
Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
34 and without an allegory He was not speaking to them, and by themselves, to His disciples He was expounding all.
Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
35 And He says to them on that day, evening having come, “We may pass over to the other side”;
Og paa den Dag, da det var blevet Aften, siger han til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side!‟
36 and having let away the multitude, they take Him up as He was in the boat, and other little boats were also with Him.
Og de forlade Folkeskaren og tage ham med, som han sad i Skibet; men der var ogsaa andre Skibe med ham.
37 And there comes a great storm of wind, and the waves were beating on the boat, so that it is now being filled,
Og der kommer en stærk Stormvind, og Bølgerne sloge ind i Skibet, saa at Skibet allerede var ved at fyldes.
38 and He Himself was on the stern, sleeping on the pillow, and they wake Him up, and say to Him, “Teacher, are You not caring that we perish?”
Og han var i Bagstavnen og sov paa en Hovedpude, og de vække ham og sige til ham: „Mester! bryder du dig ikke om, at vi forgaa?‟
39 And having awoken, He rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace, be stilled”; and the wind stilled, and there was a great calm;
Og han stod op og truede Vinden og sagde til Søen: „Ti, vær stille!‟ og Vinden lagde sig, og det blev ganske blikstille.
40 and He said to them, “Why are you so fearful? How have you no faith?”
Og han sagde til dem: „Hvorfor ere I saa bange? Hvorfor have I ikke Tro?‟
41 And they feared a great fear and said to one another, “Who, then, is this, that even the wind and the sea obey Him?”
Og de frygtede saare og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden baade Vinden og Søen ere ham lydige?‟
