Mark 4
1 And again he began to teach by the shore of the lake; and there was gathered to him a very great multitude, so that he went into a boat, and sat down in it upon the lake; and all the multitude was by the lake 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 parables, and said to them in his teaching,
Og han lærte dem meget i Lignelser og sagde til dem i sin Undervisning:
3 Hearken: Behold, a sower went forth to sow.
„Hører til: Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
4 And it came to pass, as he sowed some seeds fell by the way-side; and the birds came and devoured them.
Og det skete, idet han saaede, at noget faldt ved Vejen, og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
5 And others fell on rocky ground, where they had not much earth; and they sprung up immediately, because they had 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 But when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away.
Og da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
7 And others fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up, and choked them, and they yielded no fruit.
Og noget faldt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det, og det bar ikke Frugt.
8 And others fell on good ground, and shooting up and growing yielded fruit; and bore as much as thirty, and sixty, and a hundred fold.
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, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Og han sagde: „Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
10 And when he was in private, they who were about him, with the twelve, asked him about the parables.
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 hath been given the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to them, who are without, all things are done in parables; t
Og han sagde til dem: „Eder er Guds Riges Hemmelighed givet; men dem, som ere udenfor, meddeles alt ved Lignelser,
12 hat seeing they may see, and not perceive, and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest they should turn, and be forgiven.
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 saith to them, Know ye not this parable? and how will ye know all the parables?
Og han siger til dem: „Fatte I ikke denne Lignelse? Hvorledes ville I da forstaa alle de andre Lignelser?
14 The sower soweth the word.
Sædemanden saar Ordet.
15 And these are they by the wayside, those where the word is sown, and when they have heard, Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in them.
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 in like manner are they that are sown on the rocky places, those, who, when they have heard 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 endure only for a time; then, when affliction or persecution ariseth on account of the word, they immediately fall away.
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 others are they that are sown among the thorns; these are they who hear the word,
Og andre ere de, som blive saaede blandt Torne; det er dem, som have hørt Ordet,
19 but the cares of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh 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 are sown on the good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it; and bear fruit, thirty, sixty, and a hundred fold.
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, Is a lamp brought to be put under the bushel, or under the bed, and not to be set on the lamp-stand?
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 nothing secret, unless to be made known; nor was any thing hidden, but that it should 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 one hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Dersom nogen har Øren at høre med, han høre!”
24 And he said to them, Take heed what ye hear. With what measure ye mete, it will be measured to you, and more will be added to you.
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 he that hath, to him will be given; and he that hath not, from him will be taken away even what he hath.
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 when a man has cast seed upon the ground,
Og han sagde: „Med Guds Rige er det saaledes, som naar en Mand har lagt Sæden i Jorden
27 and sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed springs and grows up, he knows not how.
og sover og staar op Nat og Dag, og Sæden spirer og bliver høj, han ved ej selv hvorledes.
28 For the earth brings forth fruit of itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear.
Af sig selv bærer Jorden Frugt, først Straa, derefter Aks, derefter fuld Kerne i Akset;
29 But when the fruit puts itself forth, immediately he sends out the sickle, because the harvest is come.
men naar Frugten er tjenlig, sender han straks Seglen ud; thi Høsten er for Haanden.”
30 And he said, To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? or under what comparison shall we set it forth?
Og han sagde: „Hvormed skulle vi ligne Guds Rige, eller under hvilken Lignelse skulle vi fremstille det?
31 It is like a grain of mustard, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth;
Det er som et Sennepskorn, som, naar det saas i Jorden, er mindre end alt andet Frø paa Jorden,
32 and when it is sown, it grows up, and becomes greater than all the herbs, and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air can lodge under its shade.
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 parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear.
Og i mange saadanne Lignelser talte han Ordet til dem, efter som de kunde fatte det.
34 But without a parable he did not speak to them; but in private he explained all things to his own disciples.
Men uden Lignelse talte han ikke til dem; men i Enrum udlagde han det alt sammen for sine Disciple.
35 And on the same day, when the evening was come, he saith to them, Let us 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 leaving the multitude, they take him with them, as he was, in the boat; and there were also other boats 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 arose a great storm of wind, and the waves heat into the boat, so that it was already filling.
Og der kommer en stærk Stormvind, og Bølgerne sloge ind i Skibet, saa at Skibet allerede var ved at fyldes.
38 And he was in the stern, asleep on the pillow; and they awake him, and say to him, Teacher, carest thou not that we are perishing?
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 he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said to the waves, Peace! be still! And the wind ceased, 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 ye so fearful? How is it that ye have not faith?
Og han sagde til dem: „Hvorfor ere I saa bange? Hvorfor have I ikke Tro?”
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the waves obey him?
Og de frygtede saare og sagde til hverandre: „Hvem er dog denne, siden baade Vinden og Søen ere ham lydige?”
