Matthew 18

1 In that [very] hour came the disciples to Jesus saying; Who then [the] greatest is in the kingdom of the heavens?

I den samme Stund kom Disciplene hen til Jesus og sagde: \x{201c}Hvem er da den største i Himmeriges Rige?\x{201d}

2 And having called to [Him] (Jesus *k*) a child He set it in midst of them

Og han kaldte et lille Barn til sig og stillede det midt iblandt dem

3 and said; Amen I say to you; only unless you may turn and may become as the little children, certainly not shall you enter into the kingdom of the heavens.

og sagde: \x{201c}Sandelig, siger jeg eder, uden I omvende eder og blive som Børn, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.

4 Whoever therefore (will humble *N(k)O*) himself as little child this, he is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

Derfor, den, som fornedrer sig selv som dette Barn, han er den største i Himmeriges Rige.

5 And who[ever] (if *NK(o)*) shall receive one little child (such *N(k)O*) in the name of Me, Me myself receives.

Og den, som modtager et eneste saadant Barn for mit Navns Skyld, modtager mig.

6 Who[ever] then maybe may cause to stumble one of the little ones of these who are believing in Me myself, it is better for him that may be hung a millstone heavy (around *N(k)(o)*) the neck of him, and he may be sunk in the depth of the sea.

Men den, som forarger een af disse smaa, som tro paa mig, ham var det bedre, at der var hængt en Møllesten om hans Hals, og han var sænket i Havets Dyb.

7 Woe to the world because of the causes of sin; Necessary [are] for (is *ko*) to come the stumbling blocks, but woe to the man (that [one] *k*) through whom the offense comes!

Ve Verden for Forargelserne! Thi vel er det nødvendigt, at Forargelserne komme; dog, ve det Menneske, ved hvem Forargelsen kommer!

8 If now the hand of you or the foot of you causes to sin you, do cut off (it *N(K)O*) and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is to enter into life crippled or lame than two hands or two feet having to be cast into the fire eternal. (aiōnios g166)

Men dersom din Haand eller din Fod forarger dig, da hug den af, og kast den fra dig! Det er bedre for dig at gaa lam eller som en Krøbling ind til Livet end at have to Hænder og to Fødder og blive kastet i den evige Ild. (aiōnios g166)

9 And if the eye of you causes to sin you, do gouge out it and do cast [it] from you; better for you it is one-eyed into life to enter than two eyes having to be cast into the hell of the fire. (Geenna g1067)

Og dersom dit Øje forarger dig, da riv det ud, og kast det fra dig! Det er bedre for dig at gaa enøjet ind til Livet end at have to Øjne og blive kastet i Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)

10 do see [that] not may you despise one of the little ones of these; I say for to you that the angels of them in [the] heavens through all [times] behold the face of the Father of mine who [is] in [the] heavens.

Ser til, at I ikke foragte en eneste af disse smaa; thi jeg siger eder: Deres Engle i Himlene se altid min Faders Ansigt, som er i Himlene.

11 (came *KO*) (for son of man to save those already perishing. *K*)

[Thi Menneskesønnen er kommen for at frelse det fortabte.]

12 What you do think? If may happen a certain man [has] a hundred sheep and shall have gone astray one of them, surely (he will leave *N(k)O*) the ninety nine on the mountains, (and *no*) having gone will seek the [one] going astray?

Hvad tykkes eder? Om et Menneske har hundrede Faar, og eet af dem farer vild, forlader han da ikke de ni og halvfemsindstyve og gaar ud i Bjergene og leder efter det vildfarende?

13 And if he may happen to find it, Amen I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety nine which not gone astray.

Og hænder det sig, at han finder det, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han glæder sig mere over det end over de ni og halvfemsindstyve, som ikke ere farne vild.

14 Thus not it is [the] will of the Father (of you *NK(O)*) who [is] in [the] heavens that may perish (one *N(k)O*) of the little ones of these.

Saaledes er det ikke eders himmelske Faders Villie, at en eneste af disse smaa skal fortabes.

15 If now shall sin against you the brother of you, do go (and *k*) do reprove him between you and him alone. If you he shall hear, you have gained the brother of you.

Men om din Broder synder imod dig, da gaa hen og revs ham mellem dig og ham alene; hører han dig, da har du vundet din Broder.

16 only however unless he shall hear, do take with you more one or two that upon [the] testimony of two witnesses or of three may be strengthened every declaration.

Men hører han dig ikke, da tag endnu en eller to med dig, for at \x{201c}hver Sag maa staa fast efter to eller tre Vidners Mund.\x{201d}

17 If now he shall fail to listen to them, do tell [it] to the church. If now also to the church he shall fail to listen, he should be to you as the pagan and the tax collector.

Men er han dem overhørig, da sig det til Menigheden; men er han ogsaa Menigheden overhørig, da skal han være for dig ligesom en Hedning og en Tolder.

18 Amen I say to you; as much as (if *NK(o)*) you shall bind on the earth, will have been bound in (*ko*) heaven; and as much as if you shall loose on the earth, will have been loosed in (*ko*) heaven.

Sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvad som helst I binde paa Jorden, skal være bundet i Himmelen; og hvad som helst I løse paa Jorden, skal være løst i Himmelen.

19 Again (Amen *NO*) I say to you that if two shall agree (of *no*) you on the earth concerning any matter that if they shall ask, it will be done for them by the Father of Mine who [is] in [the] heavens.

Atter siger jeg eder, at dersom to af eder blive enige paa Jorden om hvilken som helst Sag, hvorom de ville bede, da skal det blive dem til Del fra min Fader, som er i Himlene.

20 Where for are two or three assembled unto My name, there am I in [the] midst of them.

Thi hvor to eller tre ere forsamlede om mit Navn, der er jeg midt iblandt dem.\x{201d}

21 Then having come Peter said to Him; Lord, how often will sin against me myself the brother of mine and I will forgive him? Up to seven times?

Da traadte Peter frem og sagde til ham: \x{201c}Herre! hvor ofte skal jeg tilgive min Broder, naar han synder imod mig? mon indtil syv Gange?\x{201d}

22 Says to him Jesus; Not I say to you up to seven times but up to seventy times seven!

Jesus siger til ham: \x{201c}Jeg siger dig: ikke indtil syv Gange, men indtil halvfjerdsindstyve Gange syv Gange.

23 Because of this has become like the kingdom of the heavens to a man a king who desired to settle accounts with the servants of him.

Derfor lignes Himmeriges Rige ved en Konge, som vilde holde Regnskab med sine Tjenere.

24 When was beginning then he to settle (was brought to *NK(o)*) to him one a debtor of ten thousand talents.

Men da han begyndte at holde Regnskab, blev en, som var ti Tusinde Talenter skyldig, ført frem for ham.

25 [When] not is having [anything] now he to pay he commanded him the master (of him *k*) to be sold and the wife (of him *ko*) and the children and all as much as (he has *N(k)O*) and payment to be made.

Og da han intet havde at betale med, bød hans Herre, at han og hans Hustru og Børn og alt det, han havde, skulde sælges, og Gælden betales.

26 Having fallen down therefore the servant was bowing on his knees to him saying; (lord *ko*) do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and all I will pay to you.

Da faldt Tjeneren ned for ham, bønfaldt ham og sagde: Herre, vær langmodig med mig, saa vil jeg betale dig det alt sammen.

27 Having been moved with compassion now the master of the servant, that [one] released him and the debt forgave him.

Da ynkedes samme Tjeners Herre inderligt over ham og lod ham løs og eftergav ham Gælden.

28 Having gone out however the servant same found one of the fellow servants of him who was owing to him a hundred denarii, and having seized him he was throttling [him] saying; do pay (to me *k*) (if *N(k)O*) any you owe.’

Men den samme Tjener gik ud og traf en af sine Medtjenere, som var ham hundrede Denarer skyldig; og han greb fat paa ham og var ved at kvæle ham og sagde: Betal, hvad du er skyldig!

29 Having fallen down therefore the fellow servant of him (into the feet of him *K*) was begging him saying; do have patience with (me myself, *NK(o)*) and (all things *K*) I will pay you.

Da faldt hans Medtjener ned for ham og bad ham og sagde: Vær langmodig med mig, saa vil jeg betale dig.

30 But not he was willing, but having gone he cast him into prison until (what of him *ko*) he may pay that which is being owed.

Men han vilde ikke, men gik hen og kastede ham i Fængsel, indtil han betalte, hvad han var skyldig.

31 Having seen (therefore *N(k)O*) the fellow servants of him the [things] having taken place they were grieved deeply, and having gone they narrated to the master (of themselves *N(k)O*) all that having taken place.

Da nu hans Medtjenere saa det, som skete, bleve de saare bedrøvede og kom og forklarede for deres Herre alt, hvad der var sket.

32 Then having called to him the master of him says to him; Servant evil, all the debt, that [one] I forgave you because you begged me.

Da kalder hans Herre ham for sig og siger til ham: Du onde Tjener! al den Gæld eftergav jeg dig, fordi du bad mig.

33 Surely it was necessary also you to have pitied the fellow servant of you as also I myself also I myself you pitied?

Burde ikke ogsaa du forbarme dig over din Medtjener, ligesom jeg har forbarmet mig over dig.

34 And having been angry the master of him delivered him to the jailers until that he may pay all which is being owed (to him. *ko*)

Og hans Herre blev vred og overgav ham til Bødlerne, indtil han kunde faa betalt alt det, han var ham skyldig.

35 Thus also the Father of Mine (heavenly *N(k)O*) will do to you only unless you may forgive each the brother of him from the heart of you (the trespasses of them. *K*)

Saaledes skal ogsaa min himmelske Fader gøre mod eder, om I ikke af Hjertet tilgive, enhver sin Broder.\x{201d}
