Matthew 11
1 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of his charge to his twelve disciples, that he departed thence, 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 of the works of Christ, sent by his disciples,
Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
3 and said to him, Art thou he that is to come, or are we to look for another?
„Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?‟
4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Go and tell John what ye hear and see.
Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Gaar hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I høre og se:
5 The blind receive sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised, and to the poor good tidings are brought;
blinde se, og lamme gaa, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde staa op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
6 and blessed is he, whoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.
og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.‟
7 And, as these were going, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? the reeds 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 why did ye go out? to see a man clothed in soft raiment? Lo! they that wear soft clothing are in 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 why did ye go out? to see a prophet? Yea, 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 is written: “Lo! I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee.”
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 do I say to you, Among those born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist. But he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større fremstaaet end Johannes Døberen; men den mindste i Himmeriges Rige er større end han.
12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent seize upon it.
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, until John, prophesied.
Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
14 And if ye are willing to receive it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
15 He that hath ears, let him hear.
Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
16 But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, who call to their fellows,
Men hvem skal jeg ligne denne Slægt ved? Den ligner Børn, som sidde paa Torvene og raabe til de andre og sige:
17 and say, We piped to you, and ye did not dance; we sung a dirge, and ye did not lament.
Vi blæste paa 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 hath 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 glutton and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified by her works.
Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og de sige: Se, en Fraadser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven! Dog, Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved sine Børn.‟
20 Then he began to upbraid the cities wherein most of his miracles were done, because they did not repent.
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 thee, Chorazin! woe to thee, Bethsaida! for if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
„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, It will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end eder.
23 And thou, Capernaum! shalt thou be exalted to heaven? Thou shalt be brought down to the underworld; for if the miracles which were done in thee had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until 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 staaende indtil denne Dag. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I say to you, that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Sodomas Land taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end dig.‟
25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that, though thou didst hide these things from the wise and discerning, thou didst reveal them to babes.
Paa den Tid udbrød Jesus og sagde: „Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og aabenbaret det for umyndige.
26 Yea, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight.
Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
27 All things were delivered to me by my Father; and no one knoweth the Son but the Father; nor doth any one know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom it is the will of the Son 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 aabenbare ham.
28 Come to me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, 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 my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest for your souls.
Tager mit Aag paa eder, og lærer af mig; thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af Hjertet; saa skulle I finde Hvile for eders Sjæle.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Thi mit Aag er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let.‟
