Matthæus 10
1 Og han kaldte sine tolv Disciple til sig og gav dem Magt over urene Ånder, til at uddrive dem og at helbrede enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them power to throw out evil spirits, and to heal all kinds of diseases and sicknesses.
2 Og disse ere de tolv Apostles Navne: Først Simon, som kaldes Peter, og Andreas, hans Broder, og Jakob, Zebedæus's Søn, og Johannes, hans Broder,
These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, (also called Peter), Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, John his brother,
3 Filip og Bartholomæus, Thomas og Tolderen Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn, og Lebbæus med Tilnavn Thaddæus,
Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew the tax-collector, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddeus,
4 Simon Kananæeren og Judas Iskariot, han, som forrådte ham.
Simon the revolutionary, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
5 Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: "Går ikke hen på Hedningers Vej, og går ikke ind i Samaritaners By!
These Twelve Jesus sent out, telling them, “Don't go to the foreigners, or to any Samaritan city.
6 Men går hellere hen til de fortabte Får af Israels Hus!
You are to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Men på eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.
Wherever you go, tell the people, ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8 Helbreder syge, opvækker døde, renser spedalske, uddriver onde Ånder! I have modtaget det for intet, giver det for intet!
Heal those who are sick. Resurrect the dead. Cure the lepers. Drive out demons. You received freely, so give freely!
9 Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;
Don't carry any gold, silver, or copper coins in your pockets,
10 ej Taske til at rejse med, ej heller to Kjortler, ej heller Sko, ej heller Stav; thi Arbejderen er sin Føde værd.
or a bag for your journey, or two cloaks, or sandals, or a walking stick, for a worker deserves to be supported.
11 Men hvor I komme ind i en By eller Landsby, der skulle I spørge, hvem i den der er det værd, og der skulle I blive, indtil I drage bort.
Wherever you go, whatever town or village, ask for someone who lives according to good principles, and remain there until you leave.
12 Men når I gå ind i Huset, da hilser det;
When you enter the house, give it your blessing.
13 og dersom Huset er det værd, da komme eders Fred over det; men dersom det ikke er det værd, da vende eders Fred tilbage til eder!
If the home deserves it, let your peace rest on it, but if it doesn't deserve it, let your peace return to you.
14 Og dersom nogen ikke modtager eder og ej hører eders Ord, da går ud af det Hus eller den By og ryster Støvet af eders Fødder!
If someone doesn't welcome you, and refuses to listen to what you have to say, then leave that house or that town, shaking its dust off your feet as you go.
15 Sandelig, siger jeg eder, det skal gå Sodomas og Gomorras Land tåleligere på Dommens Dag end den By.
I tell you the truth, it will be better for Sodom and Gomorrah at the Day of Judgment than for that town!
16 Se, jeg sender eder som Får midt iblandt Ulve; vorder derfor snilde som Slanger og enfoldige som Duer!
Look, I'm sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Rådsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.
Watch out for those who will hand you over to be tried by town councils and will whip you in their synagogues.
18 Og I skulle føres for Landshøvdinger og Konger for min Skyld, dem og Hedningerne til et Vidnesbyrd.
You will be dragged before governors and kings because of me, to witness to them and to the foreigners.
19 Men når de overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvad I skulle tale; thi det skal gives eder i den samme Time, hvad I skulle tale.
But when they put you on trial, don't worry about how you should speak or what you should say, because you'll be told what to say at the right time.
20 Thi I ere ikke de, som tale; men det er eders Faders Ånd, som taler i eder.
For it isn't you who will speak but the spirit of the Father will speak through you.
21 Men Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn, og Børn skulle sætte sig op imod Forældre og slå dem ihjel.
Brother will betray brother and have him killed, and a father will do the same to his child. Children will rebel against their parents, and have them put to death.
22 Og I skulle hades af alle for mit Navns Skyld; men den, som holder ud indtil Enden, han skal blive frelst.
Everyone will hate you because you follow me, but those who endure until the end will be saved.
23 Men når de forfølge eder i een By, da flyr til en anden; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle ikke komme til Ende med Israels Byer, førend Menneskesønnen kommer.
When you're persecuted in one town, run away to the next. I'm telling the truth: you won't finish going to the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24 En Discipel er ikke over sin Mester, ej heller en Tjener over sin Herre.
Disciples are not more important than their teacher; servants are not more important than their master.
25 Det er Disciplen nok, at han bliver som sin Mester, og Tjeneren som sin Herre. Have de kaldt Husbonden Beelzebul, hvor meget mere da hans Husfolk?
Disciples should be satisfied to become like their teacher, and servants like their master. If the head of the house has been called the head demon Beelzebub, then the members of his household will be demonized even more!
26 Frygter altså ikke for dem; thi intet er skjult, som jo skal åbenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
So don't be frightened of them, for there's nothing covered that won't be exposed, and nothing hidden that won't be made known.
27 Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker på Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!
What I tell you here in the dark, declare when it's light, and what you hear whispered in your ear, shout from the rooftops.
28 Og frygter ikke for dem, som slå Legemet ihjel, men ikke kunne slå Sjælen ihjel; men frygter hellere for ham, som kan fordærve både Sjæl og Legeme i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
Don't be afraid of those who can kill you physically, but can't kill you spiritually. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy you physically and spiritually in the fires of destruction. (Geenna g1067)
29 Sælges ikke to Spurve for en Penning? Og ikke een af dem falder til Jorden uden eders Faders Villie.
Aren't two sparrows sold for just one penny? But not a single one of them falls to the ground without your Father knowing about it.
30 Men på eder ere endog alle Hovedhår talte.
Even the hairs on your head have all been counted.
31 Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
So don't worry—you're worth more than many sparrows!
32 Altså, enhver som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg vedkende mig for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
Anyone who publicly declares their commitment to me, I will also declare my commitment to them before my Father in heaven.
33 Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.
But anyone who publicly denies me, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
34 Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at bringe Fred på Jorden; jeg er ikke kommen for at bringe Fred, men Sværd.
Don't think I've come to bring peace on earth. I haven't come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 Thi jeg er kommen før at volde Splid imellem en Mand og hans Fader og imellem en Datter og hendes Moder og imellem en Svigerdatter og hendes Svigermoder,
I've come ‘to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 og en Mands Husfolk skulle være hans Fjender.
Your enemies will be those of your own family!’
37 Den, som elsker Fader eller Moder mere end mig, er mig ikke værd; og den, som elsker Søn eller Datter mere end mig, er mig ikke værd;
If you love your father or mother more than me you don't deserve to be mine, and if you love your son or daughter more than me you don't deserve to be mine.
38 og den, som ikke tager sit Kors og følger efter mig, er mig ikke værd.
If you don't pick up your cross and follow me you don't deserve to be mine.
39 Den, som bjærger sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, skal bjærge det.
If you try to save your life, you will lose it, but if you lose your life because of me you will save it.
40 Den, som modtager eder, modtager mig; og den, som modtager mig, modtager ham, som udsendte mig.
Those who welcome you welcome me, and those who welcome me welcome the one that sent me.
41 Den, som modtager en Profet, fordi han er en Profet, skal få en Profets Løn; og den, som modtager en retfærdig, fordi han er en retfærdig, skal få en retfærdigs Løn.
Those who welcome a prophet because that's what they are will receive the same reward as a prophet. Those who welcome someone who does right will receive the same reward as someone who does right.
42 Og den, som giver en af disse små ikkun et Bæger koldt Vand at drikke, fordi han er en Discipel, sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal ingenlunde miste sin Løn."
I tell you the truth, those who give a drink of cool water to the least important of my disciples will definitely not miss out on their reward.”
