Matthew 8
1 When Jesus had come down from the hill, great crowds followed him.
Men da han var gaaet ned af Bjerget, fulgte store Skarer ham.
2 He saw a leper who came up, and bowed to the ground before him, and said, ‘Master, if only you are willing, you are able to make me clean.’
Og se, en spedalsk kom, faldt ned for ham og sagde: „Herre! om du vil, saa kan du rense mig.‟
3 Stretching out his hand, Jesus touched him, saying as he did so, ‘I am willing; become clean.’ Instantly he was made clean from his leprosy;
Og han udrakte Haanden, rørte ved ham og sagde: „Jeg vil; bliv ren!‟ Og straks blev han renset for sin Spedalskhed.
4 and then Jesus said to him, ‘Be careful not to say a word to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift directed by Moses, as evidence of your cure.’
Og Jesus siger til ham: „Se til, at du ikke siger det til nogen; men gaa hen, fremstil dig selv for Præsten, og offer den Gave, som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem.‟
5 After Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion in the Roman army came up to him, entreating his help.
Men da han gik ind i Kapernaum, traadte en Høvedsmand hen til ham, bad ham og sagde:
6 ‘Sir,’ he said, ‘my manservant is lying ill at my house with a stroke of paralysis, and is suffering terribly.’
„Herre! min Dreng ligger hjemme værkbruden og pines svarlig.‟
7 ‘I will come and cure him,’ answered Jesus.
Jesus siger til ham: „Jeg vil komme og helbrede ham.‟
8 ‘Sir,’ the centurion went on, ‘I am unworthy to receive you under my roof; but only speak, and my manservant will be cured.
Og Høvedsmanden svarede og sagde: „Herre! jeg er ikke værdig til, at du skal gaa ind under mit Tag; men sig det blot med et Ord, saa bliver min Dreng helbredet.
9 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.’
Jeg er jo selv et Menneske, som staar under Øvrighed og har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til den ene: Gaa! saa gaar han; og til den anden: Kom! saa kommer han; og til min Tjener: Gør dette! saa gør han det.‟
10 Jesus was surprised to hear this, and said to those who were following him, ‘Never I tell you, in any Israelite have I met with such faith as this!
Men da Jesus hørte det, forundrede han sig og sagde til dem, som fulgte ham: „Sandelig, siger jeg eder, end ikke i Israel har jeg fundet saa stor en Tro.
11 Yes, and many will come in from East and West and take their places beside Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven;
Men jeg siger eder, at mange skulle komme fra Øster og Vester og sidde til Bords med Abraham og Isak og Jakob i Himmeriges Rige.
12 while the heirs to the kingdom will be banished into the darkness outside; there, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.’
Men Rigets Børn skulle kastes ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel.‟
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, ‘Go now, and it will be according to your faith.’ And the man was cured that very hour.
Og Jesus sagde til Høvedsmanden: „Gaa bort, dig ske, som du troede!‟ Og Drengen blev helbredet i den samme Time.
14 When Jesus went into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law prostrated with fever.
Og Jesus kom ind i Peters Hus og saa, at hans Svigermoder laa og havde Feber.
15 On his taking her hand, the fever left her, and she rose and began to take care of him.
Og han rørte ved hendes Haand, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun stod op og vartede ham op.
16 In the evening the people brought to Jesus many who were possessed by demons; and he drove out the spirits with a word, and cured all who were ill,
Men da det var blevet Aften, førte de mange besatte til ham, og han uddrev Aanderne med et Ord og helbredte alle de syge;
17 in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.”
for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, der siger: „Han tog vore Skrøbeligheder og bar vore Sygdomme.‟
18 Seeing a crowd round him, Jesus gave orders to go across.
Men da Jesus saa store Skarer omkring sig, befalede han at fare over til hin Side.
19 A teacher of the Law came up to him, and said, ‘Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.’
Og der kom een, en skriftklog, og sagde til ham: „Mester! jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end gaar hen.‟
20 ‘Foxes have holes,’ answered Jesus, ‘and wild birds their nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.’
Og Jesus siger til ham: „Ræve have Huler, og Himmelens Fugle Reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det, hvortil han kan hælde sit Hoved.‟
21 ‘Master,’ said another, who was a disciple, ‘let me first go and bury my father.’
Men en anden af Disciplene sagde til ham: „Herre! tilsted mig først at gaa hen og begrave min Fader.‟
22 But Jesus answered, ‘Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their dead.’
Men Jesus siger til ham: „Følg mig, og lad de døde begrave deres døde!‟
23 Then he got into the boat, followed by his disciples.
Og da han gik om Bord i Skibet, fulgte hans Disciple ham.
24 Suddenly so great a storm came up on the sea, that the waves broke right over the boat. But Jesus was asleep;
Og se, det blev en stærk Storm paa Søen, saa at Skibet skjultes af Bølgerne; men han sov.
25 and the disciples came and roused him. ‘Master,’ they cried, ‘save us; we are lost!’
Og de gik hen til ham, vækkede ham og sagde: „Herre, frels os! vi forgaa.‟
26 ‘Why are you so timid?’ he said. ‘You of little faith!’ Then Jesus rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and a great calm followed.
Og han siger til dem: „Hvorfor ere I bange, I lidettroende?‟ Da stod han op og truede Vindene og Søen, og det blev ganske blikstille.
27 The men were amazed, and exclaimed, ‘What kind of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!’
Men Menneskene forundrede sig og sagde: „Hvem er dog denne, siden baade Vindene og Søen ere ham lydige?‟
28 On getting to the other side – the region of the Gadarenes – Jesus met two men who were possessed by demons, coming out of the tombs. They were so violent that no one was able to pass that way.
Og da han kom over til hin Side til Gadarenernes Land, mødte ham to besatte, som kom ud fra Gravene, og de vare saare vilde, saa at ingen kunde komme forbi ad den Vej.
29 Suddenly they shrieked out, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before our time?’
Og se, de raabte og sagde: „Hvad have vi med dig at gøre, du Guds Søn? Er du kommen hid før Tiden for at pine os?‟
30 A long way off, there was a herd of many pigs, feeding;
Men der var langt fra dem en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede.
31 and the foul spirits began begging Jesus, ‘If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.’
Og de onde Aander bade ham og sagde: „Dersom du uddriver os, da send os i Svinehjorden!‟
32 ‘Go,’ he said. The spirits came out, and entered the pigs; and the whole herd rushed down the steep slope into the sea, and died in the water.
Og han sagde til dem: „Gaar!‟ Men de fore ud og fore i Svinene; og se, hele Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og døde i Vandet.
33 At this the men who tended them ran away and went to the town, carrying the news of all that had occurred, and of what had happened to the possessed men.
Men Hyrderne flyede og gik hen i Byen og fortalte det alt sammen, og hvorledes det var gaaet til med de besatte.
34 At the news the whole town went out to meet Jesus, and, when they saw him, they entreated him to go away from their region.
Og se, hele Byen gik ud for at møde Jesus; og da de saa ham, bade de ham om, at han vilde gaa bort fra deres Egn.
