Luke 8
1 Afterward he traveled through cities and villages, proclaiming the joyful tidings of the Reign of God, being attended by the twelve,
Og det skete i Tiden derefter, at han rejste igennem Byer og Landsbyer og prædikede og forkyndte Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og med ham de tolv
2 and by certain women, who had been delivered from evil spirits and distempers; Mary, called Magdalene, out of whom went seven demons;
og nogle Kvinder, som vare helbredede fra onde Aander og Sygdomme, nemlig: Maria, der kaldes Magdalene, af hvem syv onde Aander vare udfarne;
3 Joanna, wife of Chuza, Herod's steward; Susanna, and several others, who assisted him with their property.
og Johanna, Herodes's Husfoged Kuzas Hustru, og Susanna og mange andre, som tjente dem med, hvad de ejede.
4 Now, when a great multitude was assembled, and the people were flocking to him, out of the cities, he spoke by a parable.
Men da en stor Skare kom sammen, og de droge til ham fra de forskellige Byer, sagde han ved en Lignelse:
5 The sower went out to sow his grain: and in sowing, part fell by the way-side, and was crushed under foot, or picked up by the birds;
„En Sædemand gik ud at saa sin Sæd; og idet han saaede, faldt noget ved Vejen og blev nedtraadt, og Himmelens Fugle aade det op.
6 part fell upon a rock, and when it was sprung up, withered away for want to moisture;
Og noget faldt paa Klippen; og da det voksede op, visnede det, fordi det ikke havde Væde.
7 part of it also fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked it;
Og noget faldt midt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op med og kvalte det.
8 and part fell into good soil, and sprung up, and yielded increase, a hundred fold. Having said this, he cried, Whosoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
Og noget faldt i den gode Jord, og det voksede op og bar hundrede Fold Frugt.” Da han sagde dette, raabte han: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What does this parable mean?
Men hans Disciple spurgte ham, hvad denne Lignelse skulde betyde?
10 He answered, It is your privilege to know the secrets of the Reign of God, which, to others, are couched in parables; that, though they look, they may not perceive; that though they hear, they may not understand.
Og han sagde: „Eder er det givet at kende Guds Riges Hemmeligheder, men de andre i Lignelser, for at de, skønt seende, ikke skulle se, og, skønt hørende, ikke skulle forstaa.
11 Now, this is the meaning of the parable. The seed is the word of God.
Men dette er Lignelsen: Sæden er Guds Ord.
12 By the wayside are meant those hearers out of whose hearts the devil coming, takes away the word, these they should believe, and be saved.
Men de ved Vejen ere de, som høre det; derefter kommer Djævelen og tager Ordet bort af deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle tro og blive frelste.
13 By the rock are meant those, who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; yet not having it rooted in them, are but temporary believers; for in the time of trial they fall off.
Men de paa Klippen ere de, som modtage Ordet med Glæde, naar de høre det, og disse have ikke Rod; de tro til en Tid og falde fra i Fristelsens Tid.
14 By the ground incumbered with thorns, are meant those hearers who are entangled in the business, and pursuits, and pleasures of life; which stifle the word, so that it brings no fruit to maturity.
Men det, som faldt iblandt Torne, det er dem, som have hørt og saa gaa hen og kvæles under Livets Bekymringer og Rigdom og Nydelser og ikke bære moden Frugt.
15 But by the good soil are meant those, who, having heard the word, retain it in a good and honest heart, and persevere in bringing forth fruit.
Men det i den gode Jord, det er dem, som, naar de have hørt Ordet, beholde det i et smukt og godt Hjerte og bære Frugt i Udholdenhed.
16 A lamp is never lighted to be covered with a vessel, or put under a bed; but to be set on a stand, that they who enter may see the light.
Men ingen, som tænder et Lys, skjuler det med et Kar eller sætter det under en Bænk; men han sætter det paa en Lysestage, for at de, som komme ind, kunne se Lyset.
17 For there is no secret which shall not be discovered; nor anything concealed which shall not be known, and become public.
Thi der er ikke noget skjult, som jo skal blive aabenbart; og ikke noget lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt og komme for Lyset.
18 Take heard, therefore, how you hear; for to him who has, more shall be given; but from him who has not, shall be taken even that which he seems to have.
Ser derfor til, hvorledes I høre; thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, han synes at have.”
19 Then his mother and brothers came to speak with him; but could not get near him for the crowd.
Men hans Moder og Brødre kom til ham og kunde ikke naa frem til ham for Skaren.
20 And it was told him by some persons, Your mother and your brothers are without, desiring to see you.
Og det blev ham meddelt: „Din Moder og dine Brødre staa udenfor og begære at se dig.”
21 But he, answering, said to them, My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God, and obey.
Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Min Moder og mine Brødre ere disse, som høre Guds Ord og gøre efter det.”
22 One day, Jesus having gone into a bark with his disciples, said to them, Let us cross the lake. Accordingly they set sail.
Og det skete en af de Dage, at han gik om Bord i et Skib tillige med sine Disciple, og han sagde til dem: „Lader os fare over til hin Side af Søen;” og de sejlede ud.
23 But while they sailed, he fell asleep; and there blew such a storm upon the lake, as filled the bark with water, and endangered lives.
Men medens de sejlede, faldt han i Søvn; og en Stormvind for ned over Søen, og Skibet blev fuldt af Vand, og de vare i Fare.
24 And they came to him, and awakened him, saying, Master, Master, we perish! Then he arose and rebuked the wind, and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.
Da traadte de hen og vækkede ham og sagde: „Mester, Mester! vi forgaa.” Men han stod op og truede Vinden og Vandets Bølger; og de lagde sig, og det blev blikstille.
25 And Jesus said to them, Where is your faith? But they said one to another, with fear and admiration, Who is this that commands even the winds and the water, and they obey him?
Og han sagde til dem: „Hvor er eders Tro?” Men de frygtede og undrede sig og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden han byder baade over Vindene og Vandet, og de ere ham lydige?”
26 And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite to Galilee.
Og de sejlede ind til Gadarenernes Land, som ligger lige over for Galilæa.
27 Being come ashore, a man of the city met him, who had been long possessed by demons; and who wore no clothes, and had no habitation but the sepulchers.
Men da han traadte ud paa Landjorden, mødte der ham en Mand fra Byen, som i lang Tid havde været besat af onde Aander og ikke havde haft Klæder paa og ikke opholdt sig i Hus, men i Gravene.
28 When he saw Jesus, he roared out, and threw himself at his feet, crying, What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beseech you, do not torment me.
Men da han saa Jesus, raabte han og faldt ned for ham og sagde med høj Røst: „Hvad har jeg med dig at gøre, Jesus, den højeste Guds Søn? jeg beder dig om, at du ikke vil pine mig.”
29 (For he had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man; for it had frequently seized him, so that when he was chained and fettered, he broke his bonds, and was driven by the fiend into the desert.)
Thi han bød den urene Aand at fare ud af Manden; thi i lange Tider havde den revet ham med sig, og han blev bunden med Lænker og Bøjer og bevogtet, og han sønderrev, hvad man bandt ham med, og dreves af den onde Aand ud i Ørkenerne.
30 Then Jesus asked him, saying, What is your names?" He answered, Legion; because many demons had entered into him.
Men Jesus spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er dit Navn?” Men han sagde: „Legion”; thi mange onde Aander vare farne i ham.
Og de bade ham om, at han ikke vilde byde dem at fare ned i Afgrunden; (Abyssos g12)
32 but, as there was a numerous herd of swine feeding on the mountain, that he would permit them to enter into the swine. And he permitted them.
men der var sammesteds en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede paa Bjerget; og de bade ham om, at han vilde tilstede dem at fare i dem; og han tilstedte dem det.
33 Then the demons having quitted the man, entered into the swine; and the herd rushed down a precipice into the lake, and were drowned.
Men de onde Aander fore ud af Manden og fore i Svinene, og Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og druknede.
34 The herdsmen, seeing this, fled, and spread the news through the city and villages.
Men da Hyrderne saa det, som var sket, flyede de og forkyndte det i Byen og paa Landet.
35 And the inhabitants flocked out to see what had happened. Being come to Jesus, and finding the man of whom the demons were dispossessed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind, they were afraid.
Da gik de ud for at se det, som var sket, og de kom til Jesus og fandt Manden, af hvem de onde Aander vare udfarne, siddende ved Jesu Fødder, paaklædt og ved Samling; og de frygtede.
36 But having been informed by the spectators, in what manner the demoniac delivered,
Og de, som havde set det, fortalte dem, hvorledes den besatte var bleven frelst.
37 all the people of the country of the Gadarenes, entreated him to leave them; for they were struck with terror. Accordingly, he re-entered the bark, and returned.
Og hele Mængden fra Gadarenernes Omegn bad ham om, at han vilde gaa bort fra dem; thi de vare betagne af stor Frygt. Men han gik om Bord i et Skib og vendte tilbage igen.
38 Now, the man out of whom the demons were gone, entreated his permission to attend him. But Jesus dismissed him, saying,
Men Manden, af hvem de onde Aander vare udfarne, bad ham om, at han maatte være hos ham; men han lod ham fare og sagde:
39 Return home, and relate what great things God has done for you. Then he departed, and published through all the city, what great things Jesus had done for him.
„Vend tilbage til dit Hus, og fortæl, hvor store Ting Gud har gjort imod dig.” Og han gik bort og kundgjorde over hele Byen, hvor store Ting Jesus havde gjort imod ham.
40 Jesus, at his return, was welcomed by the crowd, who were all waiting for him.
Men det skete, da Jesus kom tilbage, tog Skaren imod ham; thi de ventede alle paa ham.
41 Meantime, a man named Jairus, came, a ruler of the synagogue, who, throwing himself at the feet of Jesus, besought him to come into his house;
Og se, der kom en Mand, som hed Jairus, og han var Forstander for Synagogen; og han faldt ned for Jesu Fødder og bad ham komme ind i hans Hus;
42 for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying. As Jesus went along, the people crowded him;
thi han havde en enbaaren Datter, omtrent tolv Aar gammel, og hun droges med Døden. Men idet han gik, trængte Skarerne sig sammen om ham.
43 and a woman, who had been twelve years afflicted with an issue of blood, and had consumed all her living upon physicians, none of whom could cure her,
Og en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv Aar og havde kostet al sin Formue paa Læger og ikke kunde blive helbredet af nogen,
44 coming behind, touched the tuft of his mantle; upon which her issue was stopped.
hun gik til bagfra og rørte ved Fligen af hans Klædebon, og straks standsedes hendes Blodflod.
45 Then Jesus said, Who touched me? When every body denied it, Peter, and those with him, answered, Master, the multitude throng and press you, and do you say, Who touched me?
Og Jesus sagde: „Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?” Men da alle nægtede det, sagde Peter og de, som vare med ham: „Mester! Skarerne trykke og trænge dig, og du siger: Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?”
46 Jesus replied, Some person has touched me; for I am sensible that my power was just now exerted.
Men Jesus sagde: „Der rørte nogen ved mig; thi jeg mærkede, at der udgik en Kraft fra mig.”
47 Then the woman perceiving that she was discovered, came trembling, and having thrown herself prostrate, declared to him, before all the people, why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed:
Men da Kvinden saa, at det ikke var skjult, kom hun bævende og faldt ned for ham og fortalte i alt Folkets Paahør, af hvad Aarsag hun havde rørt ved ham, og hvorledes hun straks var bleven helbredet.
48 and he said to her, Daughter, take courage, your faith has cured you, go in peace.
Men han sagde til hende: „Datter! din Tro har frelst dig; gaa bort med Fred!”
49 While he was yet speaking, one came from the house of the director of the synagogue, who said, your daughter is dead; trouble not the Teacher.
Medens han endnu talte, kommer der en fra Synagogeforstanderens Hus og siger til ham: „Din Datter er død; umag ikke Mesteren!”
50 Jesus, hearing this, said to Jairus, Fear not; only believe, and she shall be well.
Men da Jesus hørte det, svarede han ham: „Frygt ikke; tro blot; saa skal hun blive frelst.”
51 Being come to the house, he allowed no person to enter with him, except Peter, and John, and James, and the maid's father and mother.
Men da han kom til Huset, tillod han ingen at gaa ind med sig uden Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Pigens Fader og Moder.
52 And all wept, and lamented her. But he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but asleep.
Og de græd alle og holdt Veklage over hende; men han sagde: „Græder ikke; hun er ikke død, men sover.”
53 And they derided him, knowing that she was dead.
Og de lo ad ham; thi de vidste, at hun var død.
54 But he, having made them all retire, took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maiden, arise.
Men han greb hendes Haand og raabte og sagde: „Pige, staa op!”
55 And her spirit returned, and she arose immediately, and he commanded to give her food.
Og hendes Aand vendte tilbage, og hun stod straks op; og han befalede, at de skulde give hende noget at spise.
56 And her parents were astonished, but he charged them not to mention to any person what had happened.
Og hendes Forældre bleve forfærdede; men han bød dem, at de ikke maatte sige nogen det, som var sket.
