Luke 12
1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware all of you of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.
Da imidlertid mange Tusinde Mennesker havde samlet sig, saa at de traadte paa hverandre, begyndte han at sige til sine Disciple: „Tager eder først og fremmest i Vare for Farisæernes Surdejg, som er Hykleri.
2 For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.
Men intet er skjult, som jo skal aabenbares, og intet er lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt.
3 Therefore whatsoever all of you have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which all of you have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops.
Derfor, alt hvad I have sagt i Mørket, skal høres i Lyset; og hvad I have talt i Øret i Kamrene, skal blive prædiket paa Tagene.
4 And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.
Men jeg siger til eder, mine Venner! frygter ikke for dem, som slaa Legemet ihjel og derefter ikke formaa at gøre mere.
5 But I will forewarn you whom all of you shall fear: Fear him, which after he has killed has power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. (Geenna g1067)
Men jeg vil vise eder, for hvem I skulle frygte: Frygter for ham, som har Magt til, efter at have slaaet ihjel, at kaste i Helvede; ja, jeg siger eder: Frygter for ham! (Geenna g1067)
6 Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
Sælges ikke fem Spurve for to Penninge? og ikke een af dem er glemt hos Gud.
7 But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: all of you are of more value than many sparrows.
Ja, endog Haarene paa eders Hoved ere alle talte; frygter ikke, I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.
8 Also I say unto you, Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God:
Men jeg siger eder: Enhver, som vedkender sig mig for Menneskene, ham vil ogsaa Menneskesønnen vedkende sig for Guds Engle.
9 But he that denies me before men shall be denied before the angels of God.
Og den, som har fornægtet mig for Menneskene, skal fornægtes for Guds Engle.
10 And whosoever shall speak a word (logos) against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes against the Holy Spirit (pneuma) it shall not be forgiven.
Og enhver, som taler et Ord imod Menneskesønnen, ham skal det forlades; men den, som har talt bespotteligt imod den Helligaand, ham skal det ikke forlades.
11 And when they bring you unto the synagogues, and unto magistrates, and powers, take all of you no thought how or what thing all of you shall answer, or what all of you shall say:
Men naar de føre eder frem for Synagogerne og Øvrighederne og Myndighederne, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvormed I skulle forsvare eder, eller hvad I skulle sige.
12 For the Holy Spirit (pneuma) shall teach you in the same hour what all of you ought to say.
Thi den Helligaand skal lære eder i den samme Time, hvad I bør sige.‟
13 And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me.
Men en af Skaren sagde til ham: „Mester! sig til min Broder, at han skal dele Arven med mig.‟
14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you?
Men han sagde til ham: „Menneske! hvem har sat mig til Dommer eller Deler over eder?‟
15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consists not in the abundance of the things which he possesses.
Og han sagde til dem: „Ser til og vogter eder for al Havesyge; thi ingens Liv beror paa, hvad han ejer, selv om han har Overflod.‟
16 And he spoke a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully:
Og han sagde en Lignelse til dem: „Der var en rig Mand, hvis Mark havde baaret godt.
17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
Og han tænkte ved sig selv og sagde: Hvad skal jeg gøre? thi jeg har ikke Rum, hvori jeg kan samle min Afgrøde.
18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods.
Og han sagde: Dette vil jeg gøre, jeg vil nedbryde mine Lader og bygge dem større, og jeg vil samle deri al min Afgrøde og mit Gods;
19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, you have much goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
og jeg vil sige til min Sjæl: Sjæl! du har mange gode Ting liggende for mange Aar; slaa dig til Ro, spis, drik, vær lystig!
20 But God said unto him, You fool, this night your soul shall be required of you: then whose shall those things be, which you have provided?
Men Gud sagde til ham: Du Daare! i denne Nat kræves din Sjæl af dig; men hvem skal det høre til, som du har beredt?
21 So is he that lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.
Saaledes er det med den, som samler sig Skatte og ikke er rig i Gud.‟
22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what all of you shall eat; neither for the body, what all of you shall put on.
Men han sagde til sine Disciple: „Derfor siger jeg eder: Bekymrer eder ikke for Livet, hvad I skulle spise; ikke heller for Legemet, hvad I skulle iføre eder.
23 The life is more than food, and the body is more than raiment.
Livet er mere end Maden, og Legemet mere end Klæderne.
24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them: how much more are all of you better than the fowls?
Giver Agt paa Ravnene, at de hverken saa eller høste, og de have ikke Forraadskammer eller Lade, og Gud føder dem; hvor langt mere værd end Fuglene ere dog I?
25 And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit?
Og hvem af eder kan ved at bekymre sig lægge en Alen til sin Vækst?
26 If all of you then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take all of you thought for the rest?
Formaa I altsaa ikke engang det mindste, hvorfor bekymre I eder da for det øvrige?
27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Giver Agt paa Lillierne, hvorledes de vokse; de arbejde ikke og spinde ikke; men jeg siger eder: End ikke Salomon i al sin Herlighed var klædt som en af dem.
28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you, O all of you of little faith?
Klæder da Gud saaledes det Græs paa Marken, som i Dag staar og i Morgen kastes i Ovnen, hvor meget mere eder, I lidettroende!
29 And seek not all of you what all of you shall eat, or what all of you shall drink, neither be all of you of doubtful mind.
Og I, spørger ikke efter, hvad I skulle spise, og hvad I skulle drikke; og værer ikke ængstelige!
30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knows that all of you have need of these things.
Thi efter alt dette søge Hedningerne i Verden; men eders Fader ved, at I have disse Ting nødig.
31 But rather seek all of you the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Men søger hans Rige, saa skulle disse Ting gives eder i Tilgift.
32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
Frygt ikke, du lille Hjord! thi det var eders Fader velbehageligt at give eder Riget.
33 Sell that all of you have, and give alms; provide yourselves bags which wax not old, a treasure in the heavens that fails not, where no thief approaches, neither moth corrupts.
Sælger, hvad I eje, og giver Almisse! Gører eder Punge, som ikke ældes, en Skat i Himlene, som ikke slipper op, der hvor ingen Tyv kommer nær, og intet Møl ødelægger.
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Thi hvor eders Skat er, der vil ogsaa eders Hjerte være.
35 Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning;
Eders Lænder være omgjordede, og eders Lys brændende!
36 And all of you yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord, when he will return from the wedding; that when he comes and knocks, they may open unto him immediately.
Og værer I ligesom Mennesker, der vente paa deres Herre, naar han vil bryde op fra Brylluppet, for at de straks, naar han kommer og banker paa, kunne lukke op for ham.
37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he comes shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to food, and will come forth and serve them.
Salige ere de Tjenere, som Herren finder vaagne, naar han kommer. Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at han skal binde op om sig og sætte dem til Bords og gaa om og varte dem op.
38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
Og dersom han kommer i den anden Nattevagt og kommer i den tredje Nattevagt og finder det saaledes, da ere disse Tjenere salige.
39 And this know, that if the goodman of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched, and not have suffered his house to be broken through.
Men dette skulle I vide, at dersom Husbonden vidste, i hvilken Time Tyven vilde komme, da vaagede han og tillod ikke, at der skete Indbrud i hans Hus.
40 Be all of you therefore ready also: for the Son of man comes at an hour when all of you think not.
Vorder ogsaa I rede; thi Menneskesønnen kommer i den Time, som I ikke mene.‟
41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speak you this parable unto us, or even to all?
Men Peter sagde til ham: „Herre! siger du denne Lignelse til os eller ogsaa til alle?‟
42 And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?
Og Herren sagde: „Hvem er vel den tro og forstandige Husholder, som Herren vil sætte over sit Tyende til at give dem den bestemte Kost i rette Tid?
43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he comes shall find so doing.
Salig er den Tjener, hvem hans Herre, naar han kommer, finder handlende saaledes.
44 Truthfully I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he has.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, han skal sætte ham over alt, hvad han ejer.
45 But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delays his coming; and shall begin to beat the male servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
Men dersom hin Tjener siger i sit Hjerte: „Min Herre tøver med at komme‟ og saa begynder at slaa Karlene og Pigerne og at spise og drikke og beruse sig,
46 The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looks not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in two, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
da skal den Tjeners Herre komme paa den Dag, han ikke venter, og i den Time, han ikke ved, og hugge ham sønder og give ham hans Lod sammen med de utro.
47 And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Men den Tjener, som har kendt sin Herres Villie og ikke har truffet Forberedelser eller handlet efter hans Villie, skal have mange Hug;
48 But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.
men den, som ikke har kendt den og har gjort, hvad der er Hug værd, skal have faa Hug. Enhver, hvem meget er givet, af ham skal man kræve meget; og hvem meget er betroet, af ham skal man forlange mere.
49 I am come to send fire on the earth; and what will I, if it be already kindled?
Ild er jeg kommen at kaste paa Jorden, og hvor vilde jeg, at den var optændt allerede!
50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished!
Men en Daab har jeg at døbes med, og hvor ængstes jeg, indtil den er fuldbyrdet!
51 Suppose all of you that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
Mene I, at jeg er kommen for at give Fred paa Jorden? Nej, siger jeg eder, men Splid.
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
Thi fra nu af skulle fem i eet Hus være i Splid indbyrdes, tre imod to, og to imod tre.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
De skulle være i Splid, Fader med Søn og Søn med Fader, Moder med Datter og Datter med Moder, Svigermoder med sin Svigerdatter og Svigerdatter med sin Svigermoder.‟
54 And he said also to the people, When all of you see a cloud rise out of the west, immediately all of you say, There comes a shower; and so it is.
Men han sagde ogsaa til Skarerne: „Naar I se en Sky komme op i Vester, sige I straks: Der kommer Regn, og det sker saaledes.
55 And when all of you see the south wind blow, all of you say, There will be heat; and it comes to pass.
Og naar I se en Søndenvind blæse, sige I: Der kommer Hede; og det sker.
56 All of you hypocrites, all of you can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that all of you do not discern this time?
I Hyklere! Jordens og Himmelens Udseende vide I at skønne om; men hvorfor have I da intet Skøn om den nærværende Tid?
57 Yea, and why even of yourselves judge all of you not what is right?
Og hvorfor dømme I ikke ogsaa fra eder selv, hvad der er det rette?
58 When you go with your adversary to the magistrate, as you are in the way, give diligence that you may be delivered from him; lest he hale you to the judge, and the judge deliver you to the officer, and the officer cast you into prison.
Thi medens du gaar hen med din Modpart til Øvrigheden, da gør dig Flid paa Vejen for at blive forligt med ham, for at han ikke skal trække dig for Dommeren, og Dommeren skal overgive dig til Slutteren, og Slutteren skal kaste dig i Fængsel.
59 I tell you, you shall not depart thence, till you have paid the very last mite.
Jeg siger dig: Du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du faar betalt endog den sidste Skærv.‟
