Matthew 5
1 And seeing the crowds, he went up onto the mountain, and when he had sat down, his disciples came to him.
Men da han saa Skarerne, steg han op paa Bjerget; og da han havde sat sig, gik hans Disciple hen til ham,
2 Then 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 those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Salige ere de, som sørge, thi de skulle husvales.
5 Blessed are the gentle, for they will inherit the earth.
Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they will be filled.
Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain mercy.
Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called the children of God.
Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
10 Blessed are those who have been 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 you when they insult you, persecute you, and say all kinds 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 exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven. For that is how they persecuted the prophets who 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 "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trampled under people's feet.
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 You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill cannot be hidden.
I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger paa et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
15 Neither do you light a lamp, and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who 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 In the same way, let your light shine before people, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who 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 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
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 truly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will disappear from the Law, until all things are accomplished.
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 Therefore, whoever will break one of these least commandments, and teach others to do so, will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever will do and teach them will 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 tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, there is no way you will 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 "You have heard that it was said to the ancient ones, 'Do not murder;' and whoever murders will be liable to 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 tell you, that everyone who is angry with his brother without a cause will be liable to judgment; and whoever will say to his brother, 'Raqa,' will be in danger of the council; and whoever will say, 'You fool,' will be in danger of the fire of hell. (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 "If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you,
Derfor, naar du ofrer din Gave paa Alteret og der kommer i Hu, at din Broder har noget imod dig,
24 leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your 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 your adversary quickly, while you are with him in the way; lest perhaps the prosecutor deliver you to the judge, and the judge to the officer, and you 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 Truly I tell you, you will never get out of there until you have paid the last penny.
Sandelig, siger jeg dig, du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt den sidste Hvid.
27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery;'
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du maa ikke bedrive Hor.
28 but I tell you that everyone who looks at a woman to lust after her has 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 your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to 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 your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to 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 "And it was said, 'Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce,'
Og der er sagt: Den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, skal give hende et Skilsmissebrev.
32 but I tell you that everyone who divorces his wife, except for the cause of sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits 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 you have heard that it was said to them of old time, 'Do not make false vows, but fulfill your vows to the Lord.'
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 tell you, do not swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God;
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 the footstool of his feet; nor 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 should you swear by your head, for you cannot 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 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No.' Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.
Men eders Tale skal være ja, ja, nej, nej; hvad der er ud over dette, er af det onde.
38 "You have heard that it was 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 tell you, do not set yourself against the one who is evil. But whoever strikes you on your 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 anyone sues you to take away your shirt, let him have your coat also.
Og dersom nogen vil gaa i Rette med dig og tage din Kjortel, lad ham da ogsaa faa Kappen!
41 And whoever compels you to go one mile, go with him two.
Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gaa een Mil, da gaa to med ham!
42 Give to him who asks you, and do not turn away him who desires to borrow from you.
Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil laane af dig.
43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor, and hate your enemy.'
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende.
44 But I tell you, love your enemies, and pray for those who 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 you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and 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 you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Tolderne det samme?
47 And if you only greet your brothers, what more do you do than others? Do not even the non-Jews do the same?
Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Hedningerne det samme?
48 You therefore are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
