Matthæus 13
1 Paa hin Dag gik Jesus ud af Huset og satte sig ved Søen.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Og store Skarer samlede sig om ham, saa han gik om Bord i et Skib og satte sig; og hele Skaren stod paa Strandbredden.
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 Og han talte meget til dem i Lignelser og sagde: „Se, en Sædemand gik ud at saa.
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 Og idet han saaede, faldt noget ved Vejen; og Fuglene kom og aade det op.
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Og noget faldt paa Stengrund, hvor det ikke havde megen Jord; og det voksede straks op, fordi det ikke havde dyb Jord.
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 Men da Solen kom op, blev det svedet af, og fordi det ikke havde Rod, visnede det.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 Og noget faldt iblandt Torne; og Tornene voksede op og kvalte det.
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 Og noget faldt i god Jord og bar Frugt, noget hundrede, noget tresindstyve, noget tredive Fold.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Den, som har Øren, han høre!‟
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Og Disciplene gik hen og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor taler du til dem i Lignelser?‟
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 Men han svarede og sagde til dem: „Fordi det er eder givet at kende Himmeriges Riges Hemmeligheder; men dem er det ikke givet.
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Thi den, som har, ham skal der gives, og han skal faa Overflod; men den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, som han har.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Derfor taler jeg til dem i Lignelser, fordi de skønt seende dog ikke se, og hørende dog ikke høre og forstaa ikke heller.
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 Og paa dem opfyldes Esajas Profeti, som siger: Med eders Øren skulle I høre og dog ikke forstaa og se med eders Øjne og dog ikke se.
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 Thi dette Folks Hjerte er blevet sløvet, og med Ørene høre de tungt, og deres Øjne have de tillukket, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og høre med Ørene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 Men salige ere eders Øjne, fordi de se, og eders Øren, fordi de høre.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, mange Profeter og retfærdige attraaede at se, hvad I se, og saa det ikke; og at høre, hvad I høre, og hørte det ikke.
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Saa hører nu I Lignelsen om Sædemanden!
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 Naar nogen hører Rigets Ord og ikke forstaar det, da kommer den Onde og river det bort, som er saaet i hans Hjerte; denne er det, som blev saaet ved Vejen.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 Men det, som blev saaet paa Stengrund, er den, som hører Ordet og straks modtager det med Glæde.
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Men han har ikke Rod i sig og holder kun ud til en Tid; men naar der kommer Trængsel eller Forfølgelse for Ordets Skyld, forarges han straks.
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Men det, som blev saaet iblandt Torne, er den, som hører Ordet, og Verdens Bekymring og Rigdommens Forførelse kvæler Ordet, og det bliver uden Frugt. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Men det, som blev saaet i god Jord, er den, som hører Ordet og forstaar det, og som saa bærer Frugt, en hundrede, en tresindstyve, en tredive Fold.‟
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 En anden Lignelse fremsatte han for dem og sagde: „Himmeriges Rige lignes ved et Menneske, som saaede god Sæd i sin Mark.
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Men medens Folkene sov, kom hans Fjende og saaede Ugræs iblandt Hveden og gik bort.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Men da Sæden spirede frem og bar Frugt, da kom ogsaa Ugræsset til Syne.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 Og Husbondens Tjenere kom til ham og sagde: Herre, saaede du ikke god Sæd i din Mark? Hvor har den da faaet Ugræsset fra?
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 Men han sagde til dem: Det har et fjendsk Menneske gjort. Da sige Tjenerne til ham: Vil du da, at vi skulle gaa hen og sanke det sammen?
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 Men han siger: Nej, for at I ikke, naar I sanke Ugræsset sammen, skulle rykke Hveden op tillige med det.
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Lader dem begge vokse tilsammen indtil Høsten; og i Høstens Tid vil jeg sige til Høstfolkene: Sanker først Ugræsset sammen og binder det i Knipper for at brænde det, men samler Hveden i min Lade!‟
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 En anden Lignelse fremsatte han for dem og sagde: „Himmeriges Rige ligner et Sennepskorn, som en Mand tog og saaede i sin Mark.
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Dette er vel mindre end alt andet Frø; men naar det er vokset op, er det større end Urterne og bliver et Træ, saa at Himmelens Fugle komme og bygge Rede i dets Grene.‟
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 En anden Lignelse talede han til dem: „Himmeriges Rige ligner en Surdejg, som en Kvinde tog og lagde ned i tre Maal Mel, indtil det blev syret alt sammen.‟
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 Alt dette talte Jesus til Skarerne i Lignelser, og uden Lignelse talte han intet til dem,
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten, der siger: „Jeg vil oplade min Mund i Lignelser; jeg vil udsige det, som har været skjult fra Verdens Grundlæggelse.‟
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Da forlod han Skarerne og gik ind i Huset; og hans Disciple kom til ham og sagde: „Forklar os Lignelsen om Ugræsset paa Marken!‟
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 Men han svarede og sagde: „Den, som saar den gode Sæd, er Menneskesønnen,
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 og Marken er Verden, og den gode Sæd er Rigets Børn, men Ugræsset er den Ondes Børn,
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 og Fjenden, som saaede det, er Djævelen; og Høsten er Verdens Ende; og Høstfolkene ere Engle. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Ligesom nu Ugræsset sankes sammen og opbrændes med Ild, saaledes skal det ske ved Verdens Ende. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Menneskesønnen skal udsende sine Engle, og de skulle sanke ud af hans Rige alle Forargelserne og dem, som gøre Uret;
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
42 og de skulle kaste dem i Ildovnen; der skal være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Da skulle de retfærdige skinne som Solen i deres Faders Rige. Den, som har Øren, han høre!
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 Himmeriges Rige ligner en Skat, som er skjult i en Mark, og en Mand fandt og skjulte den, og af Glæde over den gaar han hen og sælger alt, hvad han har, og køber den Mark.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 Atter ligner Himmeriges Rige en Købmand, som søgte efter skønne Perler;
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 og da han fandt een meget kostbar Perle, gik han hen og solgte alt, hvad han havde, og købte den.
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 Atter ligner Himmeriges Rige et Vod, som blev kastet i Havet og samlede Fisk af alle Slags.
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 Og da det var blevet fuldt, drog man det op paa Strandbredden og satte sig og sankede de gode sammen i Kar, men kastede de raadne ud.
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
49 Saaledes skal det gaa til ved Verdens Ende. Englene skulle gaa ud og skille de onde fra de retfærdige (aiōn g165)
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
50 og kaste dem i Ildovnen; der skal være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Have I forstaaet alt dette?‟ De sige til ham: „Ja.‟
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Men han sagde til dem: „Derfor er hver skriftklog, som er oplært for Himmeriges Rige, ligesom en Husbond, der tager nyt og gammelt frem af sit Forraad.‟
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
53 Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Lignelser, drog han bort derfra.
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 Og han kom til sin Fædreneby og lærte dem i deres Synagoge, saa at de bleve slagne af Forundring og sagde: „Hvorfra har han denne Visdom og de kraftige Gerninger?
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
55 Er denne ikke Tømmermandens Søn? Hedder ikke hans Moder Maria og hans Brødre Jakob og Josef og Simon og Judas?
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 Og hans Søstre, ere de ikke alle hos os? Hvorfra har han da alt dette?‟
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Og de forargedes paa ham. Men Jesus sagde til dem: „En Profet er ikke foragtet uden i sit eget Fædreland og i sit Hus.‟
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own family.”
58 Og han gjorde ikke mange kraftige Gerninger der for deres Vantros Skyld.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
