Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus finished directing His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and to preach in their cities.
Og det skete, da Jesus var færdig med at give sine tolv Disciple Befaling, gik han videre derfra for at lære og prædike i deres Byer.
2 And John having heard in the prison the works of the Christ, having sent two of his disciples,
Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
3 said to Him, “Are You He who is coming, or do we look for another?”
"Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"
4 And Jesus answering said to them, “Having gone, declare to John the things that you hear and see,
Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Går hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I høre og se:
5 blind receive sight, and lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and deaf hear, dead are raised, and poor have good news proclaimed,
blinde se, og lamme gå, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde stå op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
6 and blessed is he who may not be stumbled in Me.”
og salig er den, som ikke forarges på mig."
7 And as they are going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out to the wilderness to view? A reed shaken by the wind?
Men da disse gik bort, begyndte Jesus at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: "Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Behold, those wearing the soft things are in the kings’ houses.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som bære bløde Klæder, ere i Kongernes Huse.
9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet,
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet.
10 for this is he of whom it has been written: Behold, I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.
Thi han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej foran dig.
11 Truly I say to you, there has not risen, among those born of women, [one] greater than John the Immerser, but he who is least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større fremstået end Johannes Døberen; men den mindste i Himmeriges Rige er større end han.
12 And from the days of John the Immerser until now, the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and violent men seize it by force,
Men fra Johannes Døberens Dage indtil nu tages Himmeriges Rige med Vold, og Voldsmænd rive det til sig.
13 for all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John,
Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
14 and if you are willing to receive [it], he is Elijah who was about to come;
Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
15 he who is having ears to hear—let him hear.
Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
16 And to what will I liken this generation? It is like little children in marketplaces, sitting and calling to others,
Men hvem skal jeg ligne denne Slægt ved? Den ligner Børn, som sidde på Torvene og råbe til de andre og sige:
17 and saying, We piped to you, and you did not dance, we lamented to you, and you did not strike the breast.
Vi blæste på Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon;
Thi Johannes kom, som hverken spiste eller drak, og de sige: Han er besat.
19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a man, a glutton, and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and sinners; and wisdom was justified of her children.”
Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og de sige: Se, en Frådser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven! Dog, Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved sine Børn."
20 Then He began to reproach the cities in which were done most of His mighty works, because they did not convert.
Da begyndte han at skamme de Byer ud, i hvilke hans fleste kraftige Gerninger vare gjorte, fordi de ikke havde omvendt sig:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! Because, if in Tyre and Sidon had been done the mighty works that were done in you, long ago in sackcloth and ashes they had converted;
"Ve dig, Korazin! ve dig, Bethsajda! thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i eder, vare skete i Tyrus og Sidon, da havde de for længe siden omvendt sig i Sæk og Aske.
22 but I say to you, to Tyre and Sidon it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than for you.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gå Tyrus og Sidon tåleligere på Dommens Dag end eder.
23 And you, Capernaum, which were exalted to Heaven, will be brought down to Hades, because if the mighty works that were done in you had been done in Sodom, it had remained to this day; (Hadēs g86)
Og du, Kapernaum! som er bleven ophøjet indtil Himmelen, du skal nedstødes indtil Dødsriget; thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i dig, vare skete i Sodoma, da var den bleven stående indtil denne Dag. (Hadēs g86)
24 but I say to you, to the land of Sodom it will be more tolerable in [the] day of judgment than to you.”
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gå Sodomas Land tåleligere på Dommens Dag end dig."
25 At that time Jesus answering said, “I confess to You, Father, Lord of the heavens and of the earth, that You hid these things from wise and understanding ones, and revealed them to babies.
På den Tid udbrød Jesus og sagde: "Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og åbenbaret det for umyndige.
26 Yes, Father, because so it was good pleasure before You.
Ja, Fader! thi således skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
27 All things were delivered to Me by My Father, and none know the Son, except the Father, nor does any know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son may resolve to reveal [Him].
Alle Ting ere mig overgivne af min Fader; og ingen kender Sønnen uden Faderen, og ingen kender Faderen uden Sønnen, og den, for hvem Sønnen vil åbenbare ham.
28 Come to Me, all you laboring and burdened ones, and I will give you rest;
Kommer hid til mig alle, som lide Møje og ere besværede, og jeg vil give eder Hvile.
29 take up My yoke on you, and learn from Me, because I am meek and humble in heart, and you will find rest to your souls,
Tager mit Åg på eder, og lærer af mig; thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af Hjertet; så skulle I finde Hvile for eders Sjæle.
30 for My yoke [is] easy, and My burden is light.”
Thi mit Åg er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let."
