Matthew 11
1 And when Jesus had ended the instructions to his twelve disciples, he went from there, to teach and to proclaim 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 Now when John, in the house of prisoners, heard of the works of Messiah, he sent by the hand of 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 cometh, or are we to expect another?
„Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?”
4 Jesus answered, and said to them: Go, tell John the things that 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 see, and the lame walk, and the leprous are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead rise up, and the needy hear good tidings:
blinde se, og lamme gaa, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde staa op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
6 and happy is he, who shall not be stumbled at me.
og salig er den, som ikke forarges paa mig.”
7 And when they were gone, Jesus began to say to the multitudes, concerning John: What went ye into the wilderness to see? A reed that waved in 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 And if not; what went ye out to see? A man clothed in delicate robes? Lo, they that are clothed in delicate robes, are in the dwelling of kings.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som bære bløde Klæder, ere i Kongernes Huse.
9 And if not; what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yes, say I 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: Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, that he may prepare the 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 Verily I say to you, Among those born of women, there hath not arisen a greater than John the Baptizer: yet the small one 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 Baptizer, until now, the kingdom of heaven is assailed by force, and the violent seize 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 prophesied, until the time of John.
Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
14 And, if ye are willing, receive ye, that this is he who was to come.
Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear!
Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like to children, that sit in the marketplace and call to their associates,
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 have sung to you, and ye did not dance: we have wailed to you, 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, not eating and not drinking; and they said, 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 gluttonous man, and a wine drinker, and 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 began Jesus to reproach the cities, in which his many deeds of power were wrought, yet they repented not.
Da begyndte han at skamme de Byer ud, i hvilke hans fleste kraftige Gerninger vare gjorte, fordi de ikke havde omvendt sig:
21 And he said: Woe to thee, Chorazin! Woe to thee, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, doubtless, they would long ago have repented 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 comfortable for Tyre and Sidon, in the day of judgment, rather than for you.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gaa Tyrus og Sidon taaleligere paa Dommens Dag end eder.
23 And thou, Capernaum, which hast been lifted up to heaven, shalt be brought down to the grave. For if those deeds of power which were done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have stood to 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 thee, It will be comfortable for the land of Sodom, in the day of judgment, rather 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 praise thee, O my Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and knowing, and hast revealed them to little children.
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 Yes, my Father; for so it seemed good before thee.
Ja, Fader! thi saaledes skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
27 Every thing is given up by my Father to me. And no one knoweth the Son, except the Father. Also, no one knoweth the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son is pleased 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 unto me, all ye wearied and heavily burdened, and I will ease you.
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, that I am gentle and subdued in my heart: and ye will 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 pleasant, and my burden is light.
Thi mit Aag er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let.”
