Matthew 19
1 After Jesus had said that, he [took us] and left Galilee [district] and went to the part of Judea [district that is located] on the [east] side of the Jordan [River].
Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Ord, drog han bort fra Galilæa og kom til Judæas Egne, hinsides Jordan.
2 Large crowds followed him there, and he healed [the sick among] them.
Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.
3 [Some] Pharisees approached Jesus and said to him, “Does [our Jewish] law permit [a man] to divorce his wife for any reason whatever?” [They asked that] in order to be able to criticize Jesus, [whether he answered “Yes” or “No].”
Og Farisæerne kom til ham, fristede ham og sagde: "Er det tilladt at skille sig fra sin Hustru af hvilken som helst Grund?"
4 Jesus said [to them], “[Because] you have read [RHQ] [the Scriptures], [you should know] that at the time [God first] created [people], ‘he made [one] man, and he made [one] woman [to be that man’s wife].’
Men han svarede og sagde: "Have I ikke læst, at Skaberen fra Begyndelsen skabte dem som Mand og Kvinde
5 That explains why [God said], ‘[When] a man [and woman marry], they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers. [Instead], the two of them shall live together, and they shall become [so closely united that they are like] one person [MET].’
og sagde: Derfor skal en Mand forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og holde sig til sin Hustru, og de to skulle blive til eet Kød?
6 Consequently, [although they functioned as] two [separate people before], they now [become as if they were] one person [MET]. Since that is true, a man must not separate [from his wife] whom God has joined to him, [because it is God’s plan for them to remain together].”
Således ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, må et Menneske ikke adskille."
7 The Pharisees then said to him, “If that is true, why did Moses command that [a man who wanted to divorce] his wife should give her a paper [stating his reason for] divorcing her, and then send her away?”
De sige til ham: "Hvorfor bød da Moses at give et Skilsmissebrev og skille sig fra hende?"
8 He said to them, “It was because [your ancestors] stubbornly [wanted their own way] that Moses allowed them to divorce their wives, [and you are no different from them]. But when God first [MTY] created a man and a woman, [he did not intend for them to separate].
Han siger til dem: "Moses tilstedte eder at skille eder fra eders Hustruer for eders Hjerters Hårdheds Skyld; men fra Begyndelsen har det ikke været således.
9 I am telling you emphatically that [because God considers that a marriage lasts until either the husband or the wife dies, he considers that] any man who divorces his wife and marries another woman is committing adultery, unless [his first wife] has committed adultery.”
Men jeg siger eder, at den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, når det ikke er for Hors Skyld, og tager en anden til Ægte, han bedriver Hor; og den, som tager en fraskilt Hustru til Ægte, han bedriver Hor."
10 We disciples said to him, “If that is true, it is better for men never to marry!”
Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Står Mandens Sag med Hustruen således, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig."
11 Then he said to us, “Not every man is able to accept this teaching. Only the men whom [God] enables [to accept it are able to do so].
Men han sagde til dem: "Ikke alle rummer dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:
12 There are men who [do not marry because they are not able to have sexual relations because they] have been sexually defective ever since they were born. There are other men [who do not marry because they are unable to have sexual relations] because they have been castrated {other men have made them that way}. There are other [men who decide not to marry] [MET] in order that they can serve God better [and spend more time telling people about how] God [MTY/EUP] wants to rule people’s lives. You who are able to understand [what I have said about marriage] should accept it [and obey it].”
Thi der er Gildinger, som ere fødte således fra Moders Liv; og der er Gildinger, som ere gildede af Mennesker; og der er Gildinger, som have gildet sig selv for Himmeriges Riges Skyld. Den, som kan rumme det, han rumme det!"
13 Then [some] children were brought {[some people] brought their children} to Jesus in order that he might lay his hands on them and pray [for them]. But we disciples scolded the people [for bringing their children to Jesus because we thought that Jesus did not want to take the time to be with children].
Da blev der båret små Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne på dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.
14 But [when Jesus saw us scolding them], he said to us, “Let the children come to me! Do not stop them! It is people who are [humble and trusting] like they are, who can experience God’s rule [in their lives].”
Da sagde Jesus: "Lader de små Børn komme, og formener dem ikke at komme til mig; thi Himmeriges Rige hører sådanne til."
15 Jesus then laid his hands on the children [and asked God to bless them]. Then he left there.
Og han lagde Hænderne på dem, og han drog derfra.
16 [As Jesus was walking along, a young] man approached him and said [to him], “Teacher, what good [deeds] must I do in order to live [with God] eternally?” (aiōnios g166)
Og se, en kom til ham og sagde: "Mester! hvad godt skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan få et evigt Liv?" (aiōnios g166)
17 Jesus said to him, “(Consider [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about what is good./Do you realize [what you are implying about who I am when] you ask me about that which is good?) [RHQ] Only one being is good and [really knows what is good. That being is God. But in order to answer your question] about [desiring to] live [with God eternally], I [will say to you], ‘Keep the commandments [that God gave Moses’].”
Men han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor spørger du mig om det gode? Een er den gode. Men vil du indgå til Livet, da hold Budene!"
18 The man asked Jesus, “Which [commandments must I keep]?” Jesus answered [him], “Do not murder [anyone], do not commit adultery, do not steal things, do not testify falsely,
Han siger til ham: "Hvilke?" Men Jesus sagde: "Dette: Du må ikke slå ihjel; du må ikke bedrive Hor; du må ikke stjæle; du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd;
19 honor your father and your mother, and love people you come in contact with as [much as you love] yourself.”
ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv."
20 [Thinking that he might not be able to live with God eternally even though he had kept those commandments], the young man said to Jesus, “I have always obeyed all those commandments. What else must I do [in order to live with God eternally]?”
Den unge Mand siger til ham: "Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?"
21 Jesus said to him, “If you desire to be all that God intends you to be, go [home], sell everything that you have and give [the money] to poor people. [The result will be that] you will have [spiritual] riches in heaven. Then come and be my disciple!”
Jesus sagde til ham: "Vil du være fuldkommen, da gå bort, sælg, hvad du ejer, og giv det til fattige, så skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom så og følg mig!"
22 When the young man heard those words, he went away feeling sad, because he was very rich [and did not want to give away everything he owned].
Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.
23 Then Jesus said to [us] disciples, “Keep this in mind: It is very difficult for rich people [to decide] to let God [MTY/EUP] rule their [lives].
Men Jesus sagde til sine Disciple: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder: En rig Kommer vanskeligt ind i Himmeriges Rige.
24 Note this also: It is impossible for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. It is [almost] as difficult [HYP] for rich people [to decide] to let God rule their [lives].”
Atter siger jeg eder: Det er lettere for en Kamel at gå igennem et Nåleøje end for en rig at gå ind i Guds Rige."
25 When [we] disciples heard this, we were astounded. [We thought that rich people were the ones whom God blesses the most. So we said to him], “(If that is so, it does not seem likely that anyone will be saved!/Who then will God will save?)” [RHQ]
Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de såre og sagde: "Hvem kan da blive frelst?"
26 [When Jesus heard us say that], he looked intently at us, and [then] he said to us, “[Yes], it is impossible for people [to save themselves]. But [God can save them, because] God is able to do [anything]!”
Men Jesus så på dem og sagde: "For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige."
27 Then Peter said to him, “You know that we [(exc)] have left everything behind and we have become your disciples. So what benefit will we get [for doing that]?”
Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: "Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?"
28 Jesus said to us, “Keep this in mind: [You will get many benefits]. When [God] makes [the] new [earth] and when [I], the one who came from heaven, sit on my magnificent throne, those of you who have accompanied me will each sit on a throne, and you will judge [the people of] the twelve tribes of Israel.
Men Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at i Igenfødelsen, når Menneskesønnen sidder på sin Herligheds Trone, skulle også I, som have fulgt mig, sidde på tolv Troner og dømme Israels tolv Stammer.
29 [God will reward] those who, because of being my [disciples], have left [behind] a house or plot of ground, [their] brothers, [their] sisters, their father, their mother, their children, [or any other family] [MTY] [members]. [God] will give them 100 times [as many benefits as they have given up]. And they will live [with God] eternally. (aiōnios g166)
Og hver, som har forladt Hus eller Brødre eller Søstre eller Fader eller Moder eller Hustru eller Børn eller Marker for mit Navns Skyld, skal få det mange Fold igen og arve et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
30 But many [people who consider themselves to] be important [now] will be unimportant [at that future time], and many [people who consider themselves to be] unimportant [now will be] important [at that future time].”
Men mange af de første skulle blive de sidste, og af de sidste de første.
