Matthew 17
1 After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves.
Og seks Dage derefter tager Jesus Peter og Jakob og hans Broder Johannes med sig og fører dem afsides op paa et højt Bjerg.
2 He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light.
Og han blev forvandlet for deres Øjne, og hans Aasyn skinnede som Solen, men hans Klæder bleve hvide som Lyset.
3 And look, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him.
Og se, Moses og Elias viste sig for dem og samtalede med ham.
4 Peter answered, and said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let us make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
Da tog Peter til Orde og sagde til Jesus: „Herre! det er godt, at vi ere her; vil du, da lader os gøre tre Hytter her, dig en og Moses en og Elias en.‟
5 While he was still speaking, look, a bright cloud overshadowed them. And look, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him."
Medens han endnu talte, se, da overskyggede en lysende Sky dem; og se, der kom fra Skyen en Røst, som sagde: „Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag; hører ham!‟
6 When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid.
Og da Disciplene hørte det, faldt de paa deres Ansigt og frygtede saare.
7 Jesus came and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."
Og Jesus traadte hen og rørte ved dem og sagde: „Staar op, og frygter ikke!‟
8 And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one except Jesus alone.
Men da de opløftede deres Øjne, saa de ingen uden Jesus alene.
9 As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, "Do not tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead."
Og da de gik ned fra Bjerget, bød Jesus dem og sagde: „Taler ikke til nogen om dette Syn, førend Menneskesønnen er oprejst fra de døde.‟
10 The disciples asked him, saying, "Then why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"
Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er det da, de skriftkloge sige, at Elias bør først komme?‟
11 And he answered and said, "Elijah indeed comes, and will restore all things,
Og han svarede og sagde: „Vel kommer Elias og skal genoprette alting.
12 but I tell you that Elijah has come already, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wanted to. Even so the Son of Man will also suffer by them."
Men jeg siger eder, at Elias er allerede kommen, og de erkendte ham ikke, men gjorde med ham alt, hvad de vilde; saaledes skal ogsaa Menneskesønnen lide ondt af dem.‟
13 Then the disciples understood that he spoke to them of John the Baptist.
Da forstode Disciplene, at han havde talt til dem om Johannes Døberen.
14 And when they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him,
Og da de kom til Folkeskaren, kom en Mand til ham og faldt paa Knæ for ham og sagde:
15 and said, "Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is epileptic, and suffers severely; for he often falls into the fire, and often into the water.
„Herre! forbarm dig over min Søn, thi han er maanesyg og lidende; thi han falder ofte i Ild og ofte i Vand;
16 So I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him."
og jeg bragte ham til dine Disciple, og de kunde ikke helbrede ham.‟
17 Jesus answered, "Faithless and perverse generation. How long will I be with you? How long will I bear with you? Bring him here to me."
Og Jesus svarede og sagde: „O du vantro og forvendte Slægt! hvor længe skal jeg være hos eder, hvor længe skal jeg taale eder? Bringer mig ham hid!‟
18 Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that hour.
Og Jesus talte ham haardt til, og den onde Aand for ud af ham, og Drengen blev helbredet fra samme Time.
19 Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, "Why weren't we able to cast it out?"
Da gik Disciplene til Jesus afsides og sagde: „Hvorfor kunde vi ikke uddrive den?‟
20 So he said to them, "Because of your little faith. For truly I tell you, if you have faith as a grain of mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you."
Og han siger til dem: „For eders Vantros Skyld; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro som et Sennepskorn, da kunne I sige til dette Bjerg: Flyt dig herfra derhen, saa skal det flytte sig; og intet skal være eder umuligt.
Men denne Slags farer ikke ud uden ved Bøn og Faste.‟
22 While they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is about to be delivered up into the hands of men,
Og medens de vandrede sammen i Galilæa, sagde Jesus til dem: „Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder;
23 and they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up." They were exceedingly sorry.
og de skulle slaa ham ihjel, og paa den tredje Dag skal han oprejses.‟ Og de bleve saare bedrøvede.
24 When they had come to Capernaum, those who collected the didrachma coins came to Peter, and said, "Does not your teacher pay the didrachma?"
Men da de kom til Kapernaum, kom de, som opkrævede Tempelskatten, til Peter og sagde: „Betaler eders Mester ikke Skatten?‟
25 He said, "Yes." When he came into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth receive toll or tribute? From their children, or from strangers?"
Han sagde: „Jo.‟ Og da han kom ind i Huset, kom Jesus ham i Forkøbet og sagde: „Hvad tykkes dig, Simon? Af hvem tage Jordens Konger Told eller Skat, af deres egne Sønner eller af de fremmede?‟
26 And when he said, "From strangers." Jesus said to him, "Therefore the children are exempt.
Og da han sagde: „Af de fremmede, ‟ sagde Jesus til ham: „Saa ere jo Sønnerne frie.
27 But, lest we cause them to stumble, go to the sea, cast a hook, and take up the first fish that comes up. When you have opened its mouth, you will find a stater coin. Take that, and give it to them for me and you."
Men for at vi ikke skulle forarge dem, saa gaa hen til Søen, kast en Krog ud, og tag den første Fisk, som kommer op; og naar du aabner dens Mund, skal du finde en Stater; tag denne, og giv dem den for mig og dig!‟
