Lukas 7
1 Men da han havde fuldendt alle sine Ord i Folkets Påhør, gik han ind i Kapernaum.
When Jesus had brought to a conclusion all that he had then had to say to the people, he entered Capernaum.
2 Men en Høvedsmands Tjener, som denne holdt meget af, var syg og nær ved at dø.
A centurion in the Roman army had a slave whom he valued, and who was seriously ill – almost at the point of death.
3 men da han hørte om Jesus, sendte han nogle af Jødernes Ældste til ham og bad ham om, at han vilde komme og helbrede hans Tjener.
And, hearing about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders to him, with the request that he would come and save his slave’s life.
4 Men da de kom til Jesus, bade de ham indtrængende og sagde: "Han er vel værd, at du gør dette for ham;
When they found Jesus, they earnestly implored him to do so. “He deserves the favor from you,” they said,
5 thi han elsker vort Folk, og han har bygget Synagogen for os."
“For he is devoted to our nation, and himself built our synagogue for us.”
6 Og Jesus gik med dem. Men da han allerede ikke var langt fra Huset, sendte Høvedsmanden nogle Venner og lod ham sige: "Herre! umag dig ikke; thi jeg er ikke værdig til, at du skal gå ind under mit Tag.
So Jesus went with them. But, when he was no great distance from the house, the centurion sent some friends with the message – “Do not trouble yourself, Sir; for I am unworthy to receive you under my roof.
7 Derfor agtede jeg heller ikke mig selv værdig til at komme til dig; men sig det med et Ord, så bliver min Dreng helbredt.
That was why I did not even venture to come to you myself; but speak, and let my manservant be cured.
8 Jeg er jo selv et Menneske, som står under Øvrighed og har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til den ene: Gå! så går han; og til den anden: Kom! så kommer han; og til min Tjener: Gør dette! så gør han det."
For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and if I say to one of them ‘Go,’ he goes, and to another ‘Come,’ he comes, and to my slave ‘Do this,’ he does it.”
9 Men da Jesus hørte dette, forundrede han sig over ham; og han vendte sig om og sagde til Skaren, som fulgte ham: "Jeg siger eder, end ikke i Israel har jeg fundet så stor en Tro."
Jesus was surprised to hear these words from him; and, turning to the crowd which was following him, he said, “I tell you, nowhere in Israel have I met with such faith as this!”
10 Og da de, som vare udsendte, kom tilbage til Huset, fandt de den syge Tjener sund.
And, when the messengers returned to the house, they found the slave recovered.
11 Og det skete Dagen derefter, at han gik til en By, som hed Nain, og der gik mange af hans Disciple og en stor Skare med ham.
Shortly after, Jesus went to a town called Nain, his disciples and a great crowd going with him.
12 Men da han nærmede sig Byens Port, se, da blev en død båren ud, som var sin Moders enbårne Søn, og hun var Enke; og en stor Skare fra Byen gik med hende.
Just as he approached the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out for burial – an only son, and his mother was a widow. A large number of the people of the town were with her.
13 Og da Herren så hende, ynkedes han inderligt over hende og sagde til hende: "Græd ikke!"
When he saw her, the Master was moved with compassion for her, and he said to her, “Do not weep.”
14 Og han trådte til og rørte ved Båren; men de, som bare, stode stille, og han sagde: "du unge Mand, jeg siger dig, stå op!"
Then he went up and touched the bier, and the bearers stopped; and Jesus said, “Young man, I am speaking to you – Rise!”
15 Og den døde rejste sig op og begyndte at tale; og han gav ham til hans Moder.
The dead man sat up and began to talk, and Jesus restored him to his mother.
16 Men Frygt betog alle, og de priste Gud og sagde: "Der er en stor Profet oprejst iblandt os, og Gud har besøgt sit Folk."
Everyone was awe-struck and began praising God. “A great prophet has arisen among us,” they said. “God has visited his people.”
17 Og denne Tale om ham kom ud i hele Judæa og i hele det omliggende Land.
And this story about Jesus spread all through Judea, and in the neighboring countries as well.
18 Og Johannes's Disciple fortalte ham om alt dette. Og Johannes kaldte to af sine Disciple til sig
All these events were reported to John by his disciples.
19 og sendte dem til Herren og lod sige: "Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"
So he summoned two of them, and sent them to the Master to ask – “Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for someone else?”
20 Og da Mændene kom til ham, sagde de: "Johannes Døberen har sendt os til dig og lader sige: Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"
When these men found Jesus, they said, “John the Baptist has sent us to you to ask – Are you ‘the coming one,’ or are we to look for somebody else?”
21 I den samme Time helbredte han mange for Sygdomme og Plager og onde Ånder og skænkede mange blinde Synet.
At that very time Jesus had cured many people of diseases, afflictions, and wicked spirits, and had given many blind people their sight.
22 Og han svarede og sagde til dem: "Går hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I have set og hørt: Blinde se, lamme gå, spedalske renses, døve høre, døde stå op, Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
So his answer to the question was, “Go and report to John what you have witnessed and heard – the blind recover their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are made clean, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, the good news is told to the poor.
23 og salig er den, som ikke forarges på mig."
And blessed is the person who finds no hindrance in me.”
24 Men da Johannes's Sendebud vare gåede bort, begyndte han at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: "Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?
When John’s messengers had left, Jesus, speaking to the crowds, began to say with reference to John,
25 Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som leve i prægtige Klæder og i Vellevned, ere i Kongsgårdene.
“What did you go out into the wilderness to look at? A reed waving in the wind? If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in rich clothing? Why, those who are accustomed to fine clothes and luxury live in royal palaces.
26 Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet!
What then did you go to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and far more than a prophet.
27 Han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej foran dig.
This is the man of whom scripture says – ‘I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’
28 Jeg siger eder: Iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større Profet end Johannes; men den mindste i Guds Rige er større end han.
There is, I tell you, no one born of a woman who is greater than John; and yet the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 Og hele Folket, som hørte ham, endog Tolderne, gav Gud Ret, idet de bleve døbte med Johannes's Dåb.
(All the people, when they heard this, and even the tax collectors, having accepted John’s baptism, acknowledged the justice of God.
30 Men Farisæerne og de lovkyndige have foragtet Guds Råd med dem selv, idet de ikke bleve døbte af ham.
But the Pharisees and the students of the Law, having rejected John’s baptism, frustrated God’s purpose in regard to them.)
31 Ved hvem skal jeg da ligne denne Slægts Mennesker? og hvem ligne de?
“To what then,” Jesus continued, “should I compare the people of the present generation? What are they like?
32 De ligne Børn, som sidde på Torvet og råbe til hverandre og sige: Vi blæste på Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke, vi sang Klagesange for eder, og I græd ikke.
They are like some little children who are sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another – ‘We have played the flute for you, but you have not danced; We have wailed, but you have not wept!’
33 Thi Johannes Døberen kom, som hverken spiste Brød eller drak Vin, og I sige: Han er besat.
For now that John the Baptist has come, not eating bread or drinking wine, you are saying ‘He has a demon in him’;
34 Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og I sige: Se, en Frådser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven!
and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, you are saying ‘Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts.’
35 Dog Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved alle sine Børn!"
And yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
36 Men en af Farisæerne bad ham om, at han vilde spise med ham; og han gik ind i Farisæerens Hus og satte sig til Bords.
One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to dine with him, so Jesus went to his house and took his place at the table.
37 Og se, der var en Kvinde, som var en Synderinde i Byen; da hun fik at vide, at han sad til Bords i Farisæerens Hus, kom hun med en Alabastkrukke med Salve;
Just then a woman, who was an outcast in the town, having heard that Jesus was eating in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of perfume,
38 og hun stillede sig bag ved ham, ved hans Fødder og græd og begyndte at væde hans Fødder med sine Tårer og aftørrede dem med sit Hovedhår og kyssede hans Fødder og salvede dem med Salven.
and placed herself behind Jesus, near his feet, weeping. Then she began to make his feet wet with her tears, and she dried them with the hair of her head, repeatedly kissing his feet and anointing them with the perfume.
39 Men da Farisæeren, som havde indbudt ham, så det, sagde han ved sig selv: "Dersom denne var en Profet, vidste han, hvem og hvordan en Kvinde denne er, som rører ved ham, at hun er en Synderinde."
When the Pharisee who had invited Jesus saw this, he said to himself, “Had this man been ‘the prophet,’ he would have known who, and what sort of woman, this is who is touching him, and that she is an outcast.”
40 Og Jesus tog til Orde og sagde til ham: "Simon! jeg har noget at sige dig." Men han siger: "Mester, sig frem!"
But, addressing him, Jesus said, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” “Pray do so, teacher,” Simon answered; and Jesus began,
41 "En Mand, som udlånte Penge, havde to Skyldnere; den ene var fem Hundrede Denarer skyldig. men den anden halvtredsindstyve.
“There were two people who were in debt to a moneylender; one owed five hundred silver coins, and the other fifty.
42 Da de ikke havde noget at betale med, eftergav han dem det begge. Hvem af dem vil nu elske ham mest?"
As they were unable to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them, do you think, will love him the more?”
43 Simon svarede og sagde: "Jeg holder for, den, hvem han eftergav mest?" Men han sagde til ham: "Du dømte ret."
“I suppose,” answered Simon, “it will be the man to whom he forgave the greater debt.” “You are right,” said Jesus,
44 Og han vendte sig imod Kvinden og sagde til Simon: "Ser du denne Kvinde? Jeg kom ind i dit Hus; du gav mig ikke Vand til mine Fødder; men hun vædede mine Fødder med sine Tårer og aftørrede dem med sit Hår.
and then, turning to the woman, he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I came into your house – you gave me no water for my feet, but she has made my feet wet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
45 Du gav mig intet Kys; men hun ophørte ikke med at kysse mine Fødder, fra jeg kom herind.
You did not give me one kiss, but she, from the moment I came in, has not ceased to kiss my feet.
46 Du salvede ikke mit Hoved med Olie; men hun salvede mine Fødder med Salve.
You did not anoint even my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with perfume.
47 Derfor siger jeg dig: Hendes mange Synder ere hende forladte, eftersom hun elskede meget; men den, hvem lidet forlades, elsker lidet."
So I tell you, her great love shows that her sins, many as they are, have been pardoned. One who is pardoned little loves little.”
48 Men han sagde til hende: "Dine Synder ere forladte!"
Then he said to the woman, “Your sins have been pardoned.”
49 Og de, som sade til Bords med ham, begyndte at sige ved sig selv: "Hvem er denne, som endog forlader Synder?"
The other guests began to say to one another, “Who is this man who even pardons sins?”
50 Men han sagde til Kvinden: "Din Tro har frelst dig, gå bort med Fred!"
But Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has delivered you; go, and peace be with you.”
