Matthew 5
1 But seeing the crowds, he went up into the mountain, and having sat down, his disciples came to him;
Men da han saa Skarerne, steg han op paa Bjerget; og da han havde sat sig, gik hans Disciple hen til ham,
2 and, having opened his mouth, he taught them, saying,
og han oplod sin Mund, lærte dem og sagde:
3 Blessed [are] the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
„Salige ere de fattige i Aanden, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
4 Blessed they that mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Salige ere de, som sørge, thi de skulle husvales.
5 Blessed the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
6 Blessed they who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.
Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
7 Blessed the merciful, for they shall find mercy.
Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
8 Blessed the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
9 Blessed the peace-makers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
10 Blessed they who are persecuted on account of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of the heavens.
Salige ere de, som ere forfulgte for Retfærdigheds Skyld, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
11 Blessed are ye when they may reproach and persecute you, and say every wicked thing against you, lying, for my sake.
Salige ere I, naar man haaner og forfølger eder og lyver eder alle Haande ondt paa for min Skyld.
12 Rejoice and exult, for your reward is great in the heavens; for thus have they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Glæder og fryder eder, thi eders Løn skal være stor i Himlene; thi saaledes have de forfulgt Profeterne, som vare før eder.
13 Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have become insipid, wherewith shall it be salted? It is no longer fit for anything but to be cast out and to be trodden under foot by men.
I ere Jordens Salt; men dersom Saltet mister sin Kraft, hvormed skal det da saltes? Det duer ikke til andet end at kastes ud og nedtrædes af Menneskene.
14 Ye are the light of the world: a city situated on the top of a mountain cannot be hid.
I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger paa et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
15 Nor do [men] light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but upon the lamp-stand, and it shines for all who are in the house.
Man tænder heller ikke et Lys og sætter det under Skæppen, men paa Lysestagen; saa skinner det for alle dem, som ere i Huset.
16 Let your light thus shine before men, so that they may see your upright works, and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
Lader saaledes eders Lys skinne for Menneskene, at de maa se eders gode Gerninger og ære eders Fader, som er i Himlene.
17 Think not that I am come to make void the law or the prophets; I am not come to make void, but to fulfil.
Mener ikke, at jeg er kommen for at nedbryde Loven eller Profeterne; jeg er ikke kommen for at nedbryde, men for at fuldkomme.
18 For verily I say unto you, Until the heaven and the earth pass away, one iota or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all come to pass.
Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, indtil Himmelen og Jorden forgaar, skal end ikke det mindste Bogstav eller en Tøddel forgaa af Loven, indtil det er sket alt sammen.
19 Whosoever then shall do away with one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of the heavens; but whosoever shall practise and teach [them], he shall be called great in the kingdom of the heavens.
Derfor, den, som bryder et af de mindste af disse Bud og lærer Menneskene saaledes, han skal kaldes den mindste i Himmeriges Rige; men den, som gør dem og lærer dem, han skal kaldes stor i Himmeriges Rige.
20 For I say unto you, that unless your righteousness surpass [that] of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Thi jeg siger eder: Uden eders Retfærdighed overgaar de skriftkloges og Farisæernes, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.
21 Ye have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; but whosoever shall kill shall be subject to the judgment.
I have hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du maa ikke slaa ihjel, men den, som slaar ihjel, skal være skyldig for Dommen.
22 But I say unto you, that every one that is lightly angry with his brother shall be subject to the judgment; but whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be subject to [be called before] the sanhedrim; but whosoever shall say, Fool, shall be subject to the penalty of the hell of fire. (Geenna g1067)
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som bliver vred paa sin Broder uden Aarsag, skal være skyldig for Dommen; og den, som siger til sin Broder: Raka! skal være skyldig for Raadet; og den, som siger: Du Daare! skal være skyldig til Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)
23 If therefore thou shouldest offer thy gift at the altar, and there shouldest remember that thy brother has something against thee,
Derfor, naar du ofrer din Gave paa Alteret og der kommer i Hu, at din Broder har noget imod dig,
24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and first go, be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
saa lad din Gave blive der foran Alteret, og gaa hen, forlig dig først med din Broder, og kom da og offer din Gave!
25 Make friends with thine adverse party quickly, whilst thou art in the way with him; lest some time the adverse party deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.
Vær velvillig mod din Modpart uden Tøven, medens du er med ham paa Vejen, for at Modparten ikke skal overgive dig til Dommeren, og Dommeren til Tjeneren, og du skal kastes i Fængsel.
26 Verily I say to thee, Thou shalt in no wise come out thence till thou hast paid the last farthing.
Sandelig, siger jeg dig, du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt den sidste Hvid.
27 Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt not commit adultery.
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du maa ikke bedrive Hor.
28 But I say unto you, that every one who looks upon a woman to lust after her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som ser paa en Kvinde for at begære hende, har allerede bedrevet Hor med hende i sit Hjerte.
29 But if thy right eye be a snare to thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Men dersom dit højre Øje forarger dig, saa riv det ud, og kast det fra dig; thi det er bedre for dig, at eet af dine Lemmer fordærves, end at hele dit Legeme bliver kastet i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
30 And if thy right hand be a snare to thee, cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. (Geenna g1067)
Og om din højre Haand forarger dig, saa hug den af og kast den fra dig; thi det er bedre for dig, at eet af dine Lemmer fordærves, end at hele dit Legeme kommer i Helvede. (Geenna g1067)
31 It has been said too, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a letter of divorce.
Og der er sagt: Den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, skal give hende et Skilsmissebrev.
32 But I say unto you, that whosoever shall put away his wife, except for cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery, and whosoever marries one that is put away commits adultery.
Men jeg siger eder, at enhver, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, uden for Hors Skyld, gør, at hun bedriver Hor, og den, som tager en fraskilt Kvinde til Ægte, bedriver Hor.
33 Again, ye have heard that it has been said to the ancients, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt render to the Lord what thou hast sworn.
I have fremdeles hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du maa ikke gøre nogen falsk Ed, men du skal holde Herren dine Eder.
34 But I say unto you, Do not swear at all; neither by the heaven, because it is [the] throne of God;
Men jeg siger eder, at I maa aldeles ikke sværge, hverken ved Himmelen, thi den er Guds Trone,
35 nor by the earth, because it is [the] footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, because it is [the] city of the great King.
ej heller ved Jorden, thi den er hans Fodskammel, ej heller ved Jerusalem, thi det er den store Konges Stad.
36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
Du maa heller ikke sværge ved dit Hoved, thi du kan ikke gøre et eneste Haar hvidt eller sort.
37 But let your word be Yea, yea; Nay, nay; but what is more than these is from evil.
Men eders Tale skal være ja, ja, nej, nej; hvad der er ud over dette, er af det onde.
38 Ye have heard that it has been said, Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Øje for Øje, og Tand for Tand.
39 But I say unto you, not to resist evil; but whoever shall strike thee on thy right cheek, turn to him also the other;
Men jeg siger eder, at I maa ikke sætte eder imod det onde; men dersom nogen giver dig et Slag paa din højre Kind, da vend ham ogsaa den anden til!
40 and to him that would go to law with thee and take thy body coat, leave him thy cloak also.
Og dersom nogen vil gaa i Rette med dig og tage din Kjortel, lad ham da ogsaa faa Kappen!
41 And whoever will compel thee to go one mile, go with him two.
Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gaa een Mil, da gaa to med ham!
42 To him that asks of thee give, and from him that desires to borrow of thee turn not away.
Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil laane af dig.
43 Ye have heard that it has been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy.
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du skal elske din Næste og hade din Fjende.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, [bless those who curse you, ] do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who [insult you and] persecute you,
Men jeg siger eder: Elsker eders Fjender, velsigner dem, som forbande eder, gører dem godt, som hade eder, og beder for dem, som krænke eder og forfølge eder,
45 that ye may be [the] sons of your Father who is in [the] heavens; for he makes his sun rise on evil and good, and sends rain on just and unjust.
for at I maa vorde eders Faders Børn, han, som er i Himlene; thi han lader sin Sol opgaa over onde og gode og lader det regne over retfærdige og uretfærdige.
46 For if ye should love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the tax-gatherers the same?
Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Tolderne det samme?
47 And if ye should salute your brethren only, what do ye extraordinary? Do not also the Gentiles the same?
Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke ogsaa Hedningerne det samme?
48 Be ye therefore perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
