Matthew 4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit {[God’s] Spirit led Jesus} into a desolate area to be tempted by the devil {in order that the devil would tempt him}.
Da blev Jesus af Aanden ført op i Ørkenen for at fristes af Djævelen.
2 After he did not eat food for 40 days, and 40 nights. he was hungry.
Og da han havde fastet fyrretyve Dage og fyrretyve Nætter, blev han omsider hungrig.
3 [Satan], the tempter, came to him and said, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father] [MET], [prove it] by commanding these stones to become bread [so that you can eat them]!”
Og Fristeren gik til ham og sagde: „Er du Guds Søn, da sig, at disse Stene skulle blive Brød.”
4 But Jesus said [to him], “[No! I will not change stones into bread, because] it is written [in the Scriptures] {in the Scriptures [Moses] wrote}, [‘Eating] food [SYN] [sustains] people [physically, but] it does not sustain them [spiritually] [SYN]. Instead, [paying attention to] everything that God has spoken [to them is what sustains people spiritually].’”
Men han svarede og sagde: „Der er skrevet: Mennesket skal ikke leve af Brød alene, men af hvert Ord, som udgaar igennem Guds Mund.”
5 Then the devil took Jesus to [Jerusalem], the city that is dedicated to God. He set him on the highest part of the Temple,
Da tager Djævelen ham med sig til den hellige Stad og stiller ham paa Helligdommens Tinde og siger til ham:
6 and said to him, “Because you [claim that you have a relationship with] God [as] a son [has with his father, prove it by] jumping down [to the ground. You will not be hurt], because it is written [in the Scriptures], [‘God] will command his angels to protect you. They will lift you up in their hands [when you are falling], in order that [you will not get hurt]. You will not [even] strike your foot on a stone.’”
„Er du Guds Søn, da kast dig herned; thi der er skrevet: Han skal give sine Engle Befaling om dig, og de skulle bære dig paa Hænder, for at du ikke skal støde din Fod paa nogen Sten.”
7 But Jesus said, “[No! I] will not [jump down, because] in another place [in the Scriptures] it is written {there are these words that [Moses] wrote}: ‘Do not [try to] test the Lord your God [to see if he will prevent something bad from happening to you when you do something foolish!]’”
Jesus sagde til ham: „Der er atter skrevet: Du maa ikke friste Herren din Gud.”
8 Then the devil took him on [top of] a very high mountain. There he showed him all the nations in the world and the magnificent things in those nations.
Atter tager Djævelen ham med sig op paa et saare højt Bjerg og viser ham alle Verdens Riger og deres Herlighed; og han sagde til ham:
9 And then he said to him, “I will [let you rule all these nations and] give you the magnificent things in them if you bow down and worship me.”
„Alt dette vil jeg give dig, dersom du vil falde ned og tilbede mig.”
10 But Jesus said to him, “[No, I will not worship you], Satan, [so] go away! It is written in the Scriptures, ‘It is the Lord your God whom you [(pl)] must worship, and you [(pl)] must serve only him!’”
Da siger Jesus til ham: „Vig bort, Satan! thi der er skrevet: Du skal tilbede Herren din Gud og tjene ham alene.”
11 Then the devil went away, and right away, angels came to Jesus and took care of him.
Da forlader Djævelen ham, og se, Engle kom til ham og tjente ham.
12 [While] Jesus [was in Judea, John the Baptizer’s disciples] told him that John had been put in prison and kept there {that [Herod Antipas] had put John [the Baptizer] in prison [and kept him there]}. [So] Jesus returned to Galilee [District]. While he was in Galilee, he first went to Nazareth [town].
Men da Jesus hørte, at Johannes var kastet i Fængsel, drog han bort til Galilæa.
13 Then he left Nazareth and went to Capernaum [city in order to live there. Capernaum is located beside Galilee Lake in the region which was formerly] the regions of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
Og han forlod Nazareth og kom og tog Bolig i Kapernaum, som ligger ved Søen, i Sebulons og Nafthalis Egne,
14 [One reason that he went there] was so that [these words] that were written by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled {so that he might fulfill these words that the prophet Isaiah wrote}:
for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, som siger:
15 “Zebulun region and Naphtali region [are on] the road [which is] near Galilee [Lake and] on the eastern side of the Jordan [River. They are] the regions in Galilee [District where many] non-Jews [are living].
„Sebulons Land og Nafthalis Land langs Søen, Landet hinsides Jordan, Hedningernes Galilæa,
16 [Although the people there will be like] people who sit in a dark place [MET], [they will suddenly perceive clearly a new teaching, as] people who have seen a big light shining on them [MET] perceive everything clearly. [The] people who are located in a dangerous [MET] region [will suddenly perceive clearly what God teaches], as people on whom a light shines perceive things clearly [MET, DOU].
det Folk, som sad i Mørke, har set et stort Lys, og for dem, som sad i Dødens Land og Skygge, for dem er der opgaaet et Lys.”
17 From that time, [while] Jesus was [in Capernaum city, he began to preach this to people: “God [MTY/EUP] will very soon begin to rule, and he will judge you when he rules]. So you [(pl)] need to turn from your sinful ways [so that God will not punish you].”
Fra den Tid begyndte Jesus at prædike og sige: „Omvender eder, thi Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.”
18 [One day] while Jesus was walking by Galilee Lake, he saw two men, Simon, who was [later] called Peter, and Andrew, his [younger] brother. They were casting their [fishing] net into the lake because they [earned money by] catching [and selling] fish.
Men da han vandrede ved Galilæas Sø, saa han to Brødre, Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, i Færd med at kaste Garn i Søen; thi de vare Fiskere.
19 He said to them, “[Just like you have been] gathering fish, come with me and I will teach you how to gather people [to become my disciples].” [MET]
Og han siger til dem: „Følger efter mig, saa vil jeg gøre eder til Menneskefiskere.”
20 They immediately left [the work that they were doing with] their [fishing] nets, and they went with him.
Og de forlode straks Garnene og fulgte ham.
21 As [the three of them] walked on from there, Jesus saw two other men, James, and John, the [younger] brother of James. [They were] in their boat with Zebedee, their father, mending their [fishing] nets. Jesus told them that [they should leave their work and] go with him.
Og da han derfra gik videre, saa han to andre Brødre, Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder, i Skibet med deres Fader Zebedæus, i Færd med at bøde deres Garn, og han kaldte paa dem.
22 They immediately left their fishing boat and their father, and they went with Jesus.
Og de forlode straks Skibet og deres Fader og fulgte ham.
23 Jesus went [with those four men] throughout all of Galilee [District]. He was teaching [the people] in the buildings where we Jews worship God. He was preaching the good message that tells how to become members of the group of people whose lives God rules over. He was also healing all [the Galileans] who had diseases or who were sick.
Og Jesus gik omkring i hele Galilæa, idet han lærte i deres Synagoger og prædikede Rigets Evangelium og helbredte enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed iblandt Folket.
24 When people who lived in other parts of Syria [District] heard [PRS] what he was doing, they brought to him people who suffered from illnesses, people who suffered from many kinds of diseases, people who [suffered from] severe pains, people who were controlled by demons {whom demons controlled}, people who were epileptics, and people who were paralyzed. And Jesus healed them all.
Og hans Ry kom ud over hele Syrien; og de bragte til ham alle dem, som lede af mange Haande Sygdomme og vare plagede af Lidelser, baade besatte og maanesyge og værkbrudne; og han helbredte dem.
25 Then crowds started to go with him. [They were people from] Galilee [District], (from the Decapolis/from the Ten Towns [area]), from Jerusalem [city], from other [parts of] Judea [district], and from areas east of the Jordan [River].
Og store Skarer fulgte ham fra Galilæa og Dekapolis og Jerusalem og Judæa og fra Landet hinsides Jordan.
