Lukas 5
1 Men det skete, da Folkeskaren trængte sig sammen om ham og hørte Guds Ord, og han stod ved Genezareths Sø,
Once, when the people were pressing round Jesus as they listened to God’s Message, he happened to be standing by the shore of the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats close to the shore.
2 da så han to Skibe stå ved Søen; men Fiskerne vare gåede fra dem og toede Garnene.
The fishermen had gone away from them and were washing the nets.
3 Og han gik om Bord i et af Skibene, som var Simons, og bad ham at lægge lidt fra Land; og han satte sig og lærte Skarerne fra Skibet.
So, getting into one of the boats, which belonged to Simon, Jesus asked him to push off a little way from the shore, and then sat down and taught the people from the boat.
4 Men da han holdt op med at tale, sagde han til Simon: "Far ud på Dybet, og kaster eders Garn ud til en Dræt!"
When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon: “Push off into deep water, and throw out your nets for a haul.”
5 Og Simon svarede og sagde til ham: "Mester! vi have arbejdet hele Natten og fik intet; men på dit Ord vil jeg kaste Garnene ud."
“We have been hard at work all night, Sir,” answered Simon, “and have not caught anything, but, at your bidding, I will throw out the nets.”
6 Og da de gjorde det, fangede de en stor Mængde Fisk, og deres Garn sønderreves.
They did so, and enclosed such a great shoal of fish that their nets began to break.
7 Og de vinkede ad deres Staldbrødre i det andet Skib, at de skulde komme og hjælpe dem; og de kom og de fyldte begge Skibene, så at de var nær ved at synke.
So they signalled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them; and they came and filled both the boats so full of fish that they were almost sinking.
8 Men da Simon Peter så det, faldt han ned for Jesu Knæ og sagde: "Gå bort fra mig, thi jeg er en syndig Mand, Herre!"
When Simon Peter saw this, he threw himself down at Jesus’ knees, exclaiming: “Master, leave me, for I am a sinful man!”
9 Thi en Rædsel var påkommen ham og alle dem, som vare med ham, over den Fiskedræt, som de havde fået;
For he and all who were with him were lost in amazement at the haul of fish which they had made;
10 ligeledes også Jakob og Johannes, Zebedæus's Sønner, som vare Simons Staldbrødre. Og Jesus sagde til Simon: "Frygt ikke, fra nu af skal du fange Mennesker."
and so, too, were James and John, Zebediah’s sons, who were Simon’s partners. “Do not be afraid,” Jesus said to Simon; “from to-day you shall catch men.”
11 Og de lagde Skibene til Land og forlode alle Ting og fulgte ham.
And, when they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything, and followed him.
12 Og det skete, medens han var i en af Byerne, se, da var der en Mand fuld af Spedalskhed; og da han så Jesus, faldt han på sit Ansigt, bad ham og sagde: "Herre! om du vil, kan du rense mig."
On one occasion Jesus was staying in a town, when he saw a man who was covered with leprosy. When the leper saw Jesus, he threw himself on his face and implored his help: “Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.”
13 Og han udrakte Hånden og rørte ved ham og sagde: "Jeg vil; bliv ren!" Og straks forlod Spedalskheden ham.
Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so: “I am willing; become clean.” Instantly the leprosy left the man;
14 Og han bød ham, at han skulde ikke sige det til nogen, men "gå bort, og fremstil dig for Præsten, og offer for din Renselse, således som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem!"
and then Jesus impressed upon him that he was not to say a word to any one, “but,” he added, “set out and show yourself to the priest, and make the offerings for your cleansing, in the manner directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.”
15 Men Rygtet om ham udbredte sig end mere, og store Skarer kom sammen for at høre og for at helbredes for deres Sygdomme.
However, the story about Jesus spread all the more, and great crowds came together to listen to him, and to be cured of their illnesses;
16 Men han gik bort til Ørkenerne og bad.
but Jesus used to withdraw to lonely places and pray.
17 Og det skete en af de Dage, at han lærte, og der sad Farisæere og Lovlærere, som vare komne fra enhver Landsby i Galilæa og Judæa og fra Jerusalem; og Herrens Kraft var hos ham til at helbrede.
On one of those days, when Jesus was teaching, some Pharisees and Doctors of the Law were sitting near by. (They had come from all the villages in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was upon Jesus, so that he could work cures.)
18 Og se, nogle Mænd bare på en Seng en Mand, som var værkbruden, og de søgte at bære ham ind og lægge ham foran ham.
And there some men brought on a bed a man who was paralysed. They tried to get him in and lay him before Jesus;
19 Og da de ikke fandt nogen Vej til at bære ham ind for Skarens Skyld, stege de op oven på Taget og firede ham tillige med Sengen ned imellem Tagstenene midt iblandt dem foran Jesus.
but, finding no way of getting him in owing to the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him through the tiles, with his pallet, into the middle of the people and in front of Jesus.
20 Og da han så deres Tro, sagde han: "Menneske! dine Synder ere dig forladte."
When he saw their faith, Jesus said: “Friend, your sins have been forgiven you.”
21 Og de skriftkloge og Farisæerne begyndte at tænke således ved sig selv: "Hvem er denne, som taler Gudsbespottelser? Hvem kan forlade Synder, uden Gud alene?"
The Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees began debating about this. “Who is this man who speaks so blasphemously?” they asked. “Who can forgive sins except God?”
22 Men da Jesus kendte deres Tanker, svarede han og sagde til dem: "Hvad tænke I på i eders Hjerter?
When Jesus became aware of the way in which they were debating, he turned to them and exclaimed: “What are you debating with yourselves?
23 Hvilket er lettest at sige: Dine Synder ere dig forladte? eller at sige: Stå op og gå?
Which is the easier? — to say ‘Your sins have been forgiven you’? or to say ‘Get up, and walk about’?
24 Men for at I skulle vide, at Menneskesønnen har Magt på Jorden til at forlade Synder," så sagde han til den værkbrudne: "Jeg siger dig, stå op, og tag din Seng, og gå til dit Hus!"
But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins” — he spoke to the paralysed man — “To you I say, Get up, and take up your pallet, and go to your home.”
25 Og han stod straks op for deres Øjne og tog det, som han lå på, og gik hen til sit Hus og priste Gud.
Instantly the man stood up before their eyes, took up what he had been lying on, and went to his home, praising God.
26 Og Forfærdelse betog alle, og de priste Gud; og de bleve fulde af Frygt og sagde: "Vi have i Dag set utrolige Ting."
The people, one and all, were lost in amazement, and praised God; and in great awe they said: “We have seen marvellous things to-day!”
27 Og derefter gik han ud og så en Tolder ved Navn Levi sidde ved Toldboden, og han sagde til ham: "Følg mig!"
After this, Jesus went out; and he noticed a tax-gatherer, named Levi, sitting in the tax-office, and said to him: “Follow me.”
28 Og han forlod alle Ting og stod op og fulgte ham.
Levi left everything and got up and followed him.
29 Og Levi gjorde et stort Gæstebud for ham i sit Hus; og der var en stor Skare af Toldere og andre, som sade til Bords med dem.
And Levi gave a great entertainment at his house, in honour of Jesus; and a large number of tax-gatherers and others were at table with them.
30 Og Farisæerne og deres Skriftkloge knurrede imod hans Disciple og sagde: "Hvorfor spise og drikke I med Toldere og Syndere?"
The Pharisees and the teachers of the Law belonging to their party complained of this to the disciples of Jesus.”
31 Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "De raske trænge ikke til Læge, men de syge.
In answer Jesus said: “It is not those who are well that need a doctor, but those who are ill.
32 Jeg er ikke kommen for at kalde retfærdige, men Syndere til Omvendelse."
I have not come to call the religious, but the outcast, to repent.”
33 Men de sagde til ham: "Johannes's Disciple faste ofte og holde Bønner og Farisæernes ligeså; men dine spise og drikke?"
“John’s disciples,” they said to Jesus, “Often fast and say prayers, and so do the disciples of the Pharisees, while yours are eating and drinking!”
34 Men Jesus sagde til dem: "Kunne I vel få Brudesvendene til at faste, så længe Brudgommen er hos dem?
But Jesus answered them: “Can you make the bridegroom’s friends fast while the bridegroom is with them?
35 Men der skal komme Dage, da Brudgommen bliver tagen fra dem; da skulle de faste i de Dage."
But the days will come — a time when the bridegroom will be parted from them; and they will fast then, when those days come.”
36 Men han sagde også en Lignelse til dem: "Ingen river en Lap af et nyt Klædebon og sætter den på et gammelt Klædebon; ellers river han både det nye sønder, og Lappen fra det nye vil ikke passe til det gamle.
Then, as an illustration, Jesus said to them: “No man ever tears a piece from a new garment and puts it upon an old one; for, if he does, he will not only tear the new garment, but the piece from the new one will not match the old.
37 Og ingen kommer ung Vin på gammle Læderflasker; ellers sprænger den unge Vin Læderflaskerne, og den spildes, og Læderflaskerne ødelægges.
And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins; for, if he does, the new wine will burst the skins, and the wine itself will run out, and the skins be lost.
38 Men man skal komme ung Vin på nye Læderflasker, så blive de begge bevarede.
But new wine must be put into fresh skins.
39 Og ingen, som har drukket den gamle, vil have den unge; thi han siger: Den gamle er god."
No man after drinking old wine wishes for new. ‘No,’ he says, ‘the old is excellent.’”
