Matthew 21
1 And when they drew near to Jerusalem, and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,
Og da de nærmede sig Jerusalem og kom til Bethfage ved Oliebjerget, da udsendte Jesus to Disciple og sagde til dem:
2 saying to them, Go m the village over against you, and immediately ye will find an ass tied, and a colt with her; loose and bring them to me.
„Gaar hen i den Landsby, som ligger lige for eder; og straks skulle I finde en Aseninde bunden og et Føl hos hende; løser dem og fører dem til mig!
3 And if any one say aught to you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and he will immediately send them.
Og dersom nogen siger noget til eder, da siger, at Herren har Brug for dem, saa skal han straks sende dem.”
4 Now this took place, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,
Men dette er sket, for at det skulde opfyldes, der er talt ved Profeten, som siger:
5 “Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy king cometh to thee, meek, and riding on an ass, and on a colt the foal of a beast of burden.”
„Siger til Zions Datter: Se, din Konge kommer til dig, sagtmodig og ridende paa et Asen og paa et Trældyrs Føl.”
6 And the disciples o went, and did as Jesus bade them,
Men Disciplene gik hen og gjorde, som Jesus befalede dem;
7 and brought the ass and the colt, and put on them their garments, and he sat on them.
og de hentede Aseninden og Føllet og lagde deres Klæder paa dem, og han satte sig derpaa.
8 And very many of the multitude spread their garments in the road; others cut down branches from the trees, and strewed them in the road.
Men de fleste af Folkeskaren bredte deres Klæder paa Vejen, andre huggede Grene af Træerne og strøede dem paa Vejen.
9 And the multitudes that went before him, and that followed, were crying out, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest heavens!
Men Skarerne, som gik foran ham og fulgte efter, raabte og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn! Hosanna i det højeste!”
10 And when he came into Jerusalem, the whole city was in commotion, saying, Who is this?
Og da han drog ind i Jerusalem, kom hele Staden i Bevægelse og sagde: „Hvem er denne?”
11 And the multitudes said, This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.
Men Skarerne sagde: „Det er Profeten Jesus fra Nazareth i Galilæa.”
12 And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all those who sold and bought in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves;
Og Jesus gik ind i Guds Helligdom og uddrev alle dem, som solgte og købte i Helligdommen, og han væltede Vekselerernes Borde og Duekræmmernes Stole.
13 and said to them, It is written, “My house shall be called a house of prayer; but ye make it a den of robbers.”
Og han siger til dem: „Der er skrevet: Mit Hus skal kaldes et Bedehus; men I gøre det til en Røverkule.”
14 And the blind and lame came to him in the temple, and he cured them.
Og der kom blinde og lamme til ham i Helligdommen, og han helbredte dem.
15 But the chief priests and the scribes, when they saw the wonderful things which he did, and the children that were crying out in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David, were much displeased;
Men da Ypperstepræsterne og de skriftkloge saa de Undergerninger, som han gjorde, og Børnene, som raabte i Helligdommen og sagde: „Hosanna Davids Søn!” bleve de vrede og sagde til ham:
16 and said to him, Dost thou hear what these say? But Jesus saith to them, Yea; did ye never read, “From the mouth of babes and sucklings thou didst prepare praise”?
„Hører du, hvad disse sige?” Men Jesus siger til dem: „Ja! have I aldrig læst: Af umyndiges og diendes Mund har du beredt dig Lovsang?”
17 And he left them, and went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
Og han forlod dem og gik uden for Staden til Bethania og overnattede der.
18 And in the morning, as he was returning to the city, he was hungry.
Men da han om Morgenen igen gik ind til Staden, blev han hungrig.
19 And seeing one fig-tree by the road-side, he went up to it, and found nothing on it, but leaves only; and he saith to it, Let there be no fruit from thee hencefoward for ever. And immediately the fig-tree withered. (aiōn g165)
Og han saa et Figentræ ved Vejen og gik hen til det, og han fandt intet derpaa uden Blade alene. Og han siger til det: „Aldrig i Evighed skal der vokse Frugt mere paa dig!” Og Figentræet visnede straks. (aiōn g165)
20 And the disciples seeing it, marveled, saying, How suddenly did the fig-tree wither!
Og da Disciplene saa det, forundrede de sig og sagde: „Hvorledes kunde Figentræet straks visne?”
21 Jesus answering said to them, Truly do I say to you, If ye have faith, and do not doubt, not only shall ye do what hath been done to the fig-tree, but should ye even say to this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea, it would be done.
Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro og ikke tvivle, da skulle I ikke alene kunne gøre det med Figentræet, men dersom I endog sige til dette Bjerg: Løft dig op og kast dig i Havet, da skal det ske.
22 And all things whatever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye will receive.
Og alt, hvad I begære i Bønnen troende, det skulle I faa.”
23 And when he had come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? And who gave thee this authority?
Og da han kom ind i Helligdommen, kom Ypperstepræsterne og Folkets Ældste hen til ham, medens han lærte, og de sagde: „Af hvad Magt gør du disse Ting, og hvem har givet dig denne Magt?”
24 And Jesus answering said to them, I also will ask you one question; which if ye answer me, I too will tell you by what authority I do these things.
Men Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Ogsaa jeg vil spørge eder om een Ting, og dersom I sige mig det, vil ogsaa jeg sige eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
25 The baptism of John, whence was it? From heaven, or from men? And they reasoned among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven, he will say to us, Why then did ye not believe him?
Johannes's Daab, hvorfra var den? Fra Himmelen eller fra Mennesker?” Men de tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: „Sige vi: Fra Himmelen, da vil han sige til os: Hvorfor troede I ham da ikke?
26 But if we say, From men, we fear the multitude; for all regard John as a prophet.
Men sige vi: Fra Mennesker, frygte vi for Mængden; thi de holde alle Johannes for en Profet.”
27 And they answered Jesus and said, We do not know. And he said to them, Neither do I tell you by what authority I do these things.
Og de svarede Jesus og sagde: „Det vide vi ikke.” Da sagde ogsaa han til dem: „Saa siger ikke heller jeg eder, af hvad Magt jeg gør disse Ting.
28 But what think ye? A man had two sons: he came to the first, and said, Son, go, work today in the vineyard.
Men hvad tykkes eder? En Mand havde to Børn; og han gik til den første og sagde: Barn! gaa hen, arbejd i Dag i min Vingaard!
29 And he answered and said, I will not. Afterward he repented, and went.
Men han svarede og sagde: Nej, jeg vil ikke; men bagefter fortrød han det og gik derhen.
30 And he came to the other and said the same. And he answered and said, I will, sir; and went not.
Og han gik til den anden og sagde ligesaa. Men han svarede og sagde: Ja, Herre! og gik ikke derhen.
31 Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith to them, Truly do I say to you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you.
Hvem af de to gjorde Faderens Villie?” De sige: „Den første.” Jesus siger til dem: „Sandelig siger jeg eder, at Toldere og Skøger gaa forud for eder ind i Guds Rige.
32 For John came to you as a preacher of righteousness, and ye did not believe him; but the publicans and the harlots believed him; and ye, when ye had seen it, did not afterward repent, that ye might believe him.
Thi Johannes kom til eder paa Retfærdigheds Vej, og I troede ham ikke, men Toldere og Skøger troede ham; men endskønt I saa det, fortrøde I det alligevel ikke bagefter, saa I troede ham.
33 Hear another parable. There was a householder, who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge about it, and dug in it a wine-press, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went abroad.
Hører en anden Lignelse: Der var en Husbonde, som plantede en Vingaard og satte et Gærde omkring den og gravede en Perse i den og byggede et Taarn; og han lejede den ud til Vingaardsmænd og drog udenlands.
34 And when the season of the fruits drew near, he sent his servants to the husbandmen, that they might receive his fruits.
Men da Frugttiden nærmede sig, sendte han sine Tjenere til Vingaardsmændene for at faa dens Frugter.
35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and beat one, and killed another, and stoned another.
Og Vingaardsmændene grebe hans Tjenere, og en sloge de, en dræbte de, og en stenede de.
36 Again he sent other servants more than the first; and they dealt with them in the same manner.
Atter sendte han andre Tjenere hen, flere end de første; og de gjorde ligesaa med dem.
37 And afterward he sent to them his son, saying, They will respect my son.
Men til sidst sendte han sin Søn til dem og sagde: De ville undse sig for min Søn.
38 But the husbandmen, when they saw the son, said among themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and get his inheritance.
Men da Vingaardsmændene saa Sønnen, sagde de til hverandre: Det er Arvingen; kommer, lader os slaa ham ihjel og faa hans Arv!
39 And they took him, and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him.
Og de grebe ham og kastede ham ud af Vingaarden og sloge ham ihjel.
40 When therefore the lord of the vineyard cometh, what will he do to those husbandmen?
Naar da Vingaardens Herre kommer, hvad vil han saa gøre med disse Vingaardsmænd?”
41 They say to him, He will bring those wicked men to a miserable end, and will let out his vineyard to other husbandmen, who will render him the fruits in their season.
De sige til ham: „Ilde vil han ødelægge de onde og leje sin Vingaard ud til andre Vingaardsmænd, som ville give ham Frugterne i deres Tid.”
42 Jesus saith to them, Did ye never read in the Scriptures, “The stone which the builders rejected, the same hath become the corner-stone; from the Lord did this come, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
Jesus siger til dem: „Have I aldrig læst i Skrifterne: Den Sten, som Bygningsmændene forkastede, den er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten; fra Herren er dette kommet, og det er underligt for vore Øjne.
43 Therefore I say to you, that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you, and given to a nation yielding the fruits thereof.
Derfor siger jeg eder, at Guds Rige skal tages fra eder og gives til et Folk, som bærer dets Frugter.
Og den, som falder paa denne Sten, skal slaa sig sønder; men hvem den falder paa, ham skal den knuse.”
45 And the chief priests and the Pharisees when they heard his parables, knew that he was speaking of them.
Og da Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne hørte hans Lignelser, forstode de, at han talte om dem.
46 And they sought to seize him, but feared the multitudes, because they regarded him as a prophet.
Og de søgte at gribe ham, men frygtede for Skarerne; thi de holdt ham for en Profet.
