Matthew 5
1 But, seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain, —and, when he had taken a seat, his disciples came unto him;
Men da han så Skarerne, steg han op på Bjerget; og da han havde sat sig, gik hans Disciple hen til ham,
2 and, opening his mouth, he began teaching them, saying: —
og han oplod sin Mund, lærte dem og sagde:
3 Happy, the destitute, in spirit; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens;
"Salige ere de fattige i Ånden, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
4 Happy, they who mourn; for, they, shall be comforted:
Salige ere de, som sørge, thi de skulle husvales.
5 Happy, the meek; for, they, shall inherit the earth:
Salige ere de sagtmodige, thi de skulle arve Jorden.
6 Happy, they who hunger and thirst for righteousness; for, they, shall be filled:
Salige ere de, som hungre og tørste efter Retfærdigheden, thi de skulle mættes.
7 Happy, the merciful; for, they, shall receive mercy:
Salige ere de barmhjertige, thi dem skal vises Barmhjertighed.
8 Happy, the pure, in heart; for, they, shall, see God:
Salige ere de rene af Hjertet, thi de skulle se Gud.
9 Happy, the peacemakers; for, they, shall be, called sons of God:
Salige ere de, som stifte Fred, thi de skulle kaldes Guds Børn.
10 Happy, they who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake; for, theirs, is the kingdom of the heavens.
Salige ere de, som ere forfulgte for Retfærdigheds Skyld, thi Himmeriges Rige er deres.
11 Happy, are ye, whensoever they may reproach you and persecute you, and say every evil thing against you, falsely, for my sake:
Salige ere I, når man håner og forfølger eder og lyver eder alle Hånde ondt på for min Skyld.
12 Rejoice and exult, because, your reward, is great in the heavens; for, so, persecuted they the prophets who were before you.
Glæder og fryder eder, thi eders Løn skal være stor i Himlene; thi således have de forfulgt Profeterne, som vare før eder.
13 Ye, are the salt of the earth; but, if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? it is good, for nothing, any more, save, being cast out, to be trampled on 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: it is impossible for a city to be hid, on the top of a mountain, lying.
I ere Verdens Lys; en Stad, som ligger på et Bjerg, kan ikke skjules.
15 Neither light they a lamp, and place it under the measure; but upon the lampstand, and it giveth light to all that are in the house.
Man tænder heller ikke et Lys og sætter det under Skæppen, men på Lysestagen; så skinner det for alle dem, som ere i Huset.
16 In like manner, let your light shine before men, —that they may see your good works, —and glorify your Father who is in the heavens.
Lader således eders Lys skinne for Menneskene, at de må se eders gode Gerninger og ære eders Fader, som er i Himlene.
17 Do not think, that I came to pull down the law, or the prophets, —I came not to pull down, 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 shall pass away, one least letter, or one point, may in nowise pass away from the law, till all be accomplished.
Thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, indtil Himmelen og Jorden forgår, skal end ikke det mindste Bogstav eller en Tøddel forgå af Loven, indtil det er sket alt sammen.
19 Whosoever, therefore, shall relax one of these commandments, the least, and teach men so, shall be called, least, in the kingdom of the heavens; but, whosoever shall do and teach, the same, shall be called, great, in the kingdom of the heavens.
Derfor, den, som bryder et at de mindste af disse Bud og lærer Menneskene således, 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 exceed that of the Scribes and Pharisees, in nowise, may ye enter into the kingdom of the heavens.
Thi jeg siger eder: Uden eders Retfærdighed overgår de skriftkloges og Farisæernes, komme I ingenlunde ind i Himmeriges Rige.
21 Ye have heard, that it was said, to them of olden time, —Thou shalt not commit murder, and, whosoever shall commit murder, shall be, liable, to judgment.
I have hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du må ikke slå ihjel, men den, som slår ihjel, skal være skyldig for Dommen.
22 But, I, say unto you, that, every one who is angry with his brother, shall be, liable, to judgment, —and, whosoever shall say to his brother, Worthless one!, shall be, liable, to the high council; and, whosoever shall say, Rebel!, shall be, liable, unto the fiery gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som bliver vred på sin Broder uden Årsag, skal være skyldig for Dommen; og den, som siger til sin Broder: Raka! skal være skyldig for Rådet; og den, som siger: Du Dåre! skal være skyldig til Helvedes Ild. (Geenna g1067)
23 If, therefore, thou be bearing thy gift towards the altar, and, there, shouldst remember that, thy brother, hath aught against thee,
Derfor, når du ofrer din Gave på Alteret og der kommer i Hu, at din Broder har noget imod dig,
24 leave, there, thy gift before the altar, and withdraw, —first, be reconciled unto thy brother, and, then, coming, be offering thy gift.
så lad din Gave blive der foran Alteret, og gå hen, forlig dig først med din Broder, og kom da og offer din Gave!
25 Be making agreement with thine adversary, quickly, while thou art with him, in the way, —lest once thine adversary deliver thee up unto the judge, and the judge, unto the officer, and, into prison, thou be cast.
Vær velvillig mod din Modpart uden Tøven, medens du er med ham på Vejen, for at Modparten ikke skal overgive dig til Dommeren, og Dommeren til Tjeneren, og du skal kastes i Fængsel.
26 Verily, I say unto thee, In nowise, mayest thou come out from thence, until thou pay the last halfpenny.
Sandelig, siger jeg dig, du skal ingenlunde komme ud derfra, førend du får betalt den sidste Hvid.
27 Ye have heard, that it was said, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
I have hørt, at der er sagt: Du må ikke bedrive Hor.
28 But, I, say unto you, that, Every one who looketh on a woman so as to covet her, already, hath committed adultery with her, in his heart.
Men jeg siger eder, at hver den, som ser på en Kvinde for at begære hende, har allerede bedrevet Hor med hende i sit Hjerte.
29 And, if, thy right eye, is causing thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, be cast into gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
Men dersom dit højre Øje forarger dig, så 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, is causing thee to stumble, cut it off, and cast it from thee, —for it profiteth thee, that, one of thy members, should perish, and not, thy whole body, into gehenna, depart. (Geenna g1067)
Og om din højre Hånd forarger dig, så 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 was said, moreover, Whosoever shall divorce his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement;
Og der er sagt: Den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, skal give hende et Skilsmissebrev.
32 But, I, say unto you, that, Everyone who divorceth his wife—saving for unfaithfulness, causeth her to be made an adulteress, —[and, whosoever shall marry a divorced woman, committeth 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 was said, to them of olden time, Thou shalt not swear falsely, —but shalt render unto the Lord, thine oaths.
I have fremdeles hørt, at der er sagt til de gamle: Du må ikke gøre nogen falsk Ed, men du skal holde Herren dine Eder.
34 But, I, tell you—not to swear, at all: Neither by heaven, because it is the, throne of God, —
Men jeg siger eder, at I må aldeles ikke sværge, hverken ved Himmelen, thi den er Guds Trone,
35 Nor by the earth, because it is his, footstool; 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 Nor, by thine own head, mayest thou swear, because thou art not able to make, one hair, white or black.
Du må heller ikke sværge ved dit Hoved, thi du kan ikke gøre et eneste Hår hvidt eller sort.
37 But let your word be, Yea, yea, —Nay, nay; and, what goeth beyond these, is, of 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 was 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, tell you, not to resist evil, —Nay, whoever is smiting thee on the right cheek, turn to him, the other also;
Men jeg siger eder, at I må ikke sætte eder imod det onde; men dersom nogen giver dig et Slag på din højre Kind, da vend ham også den anden til!
40 And, him who is desiring thee to be judged, and to take, thy tunic, let him have, thy mantle also.
Og dersom nogen vil gå i Rette med dig og tage din Kjortel, lad ham da også få Kappen!
41 And, whoever shall impress thee one mile, go with him two:
Og dersom nogen tvinger dig til at gå een Mil, da gå to med ham!
42 To him who is asking thee, give; and, him who is desiring from thee to borrow, do not thou turn away.
Giv den, som beder dig, og vend dig ikke fra den, som vil låne af dig.
43 Ye have heard, that it was 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, Be loving your enemies, and praying for them who are persecuting 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 become sons of your Father who is in the heavens: because, his sun, he maketh arise on evil and good, and sendeth rain, on just and unjust.
for at I må vorde eders Faders Børn, han, som er i Himlene; thi han lader sin Sol opgå over onde og gode og lader det regne over retfærdige og uretfærdige.
46 For, if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye? are not, even the tax-collectors, the same thing, doing?
Thi dersom I elske dem, som elske eder, hvad Løn have I da? Gøre ikke også Tolderne det samme?
47 And, if ye salute your brethren only, what, more than common, are ye doing? are not, even the nations, the same thing, doing?
Og dersom I hilse eders Brødre alene, hvad stort gøre I da? Gøre ikke også Hedningerne det samme?
48 Ye, therefore, shall become, perfect: as, your heavenly Father, is perfect.
Værer da I fuldkomne, ligesom eders himmelske Fader er fuldkommen.
