Luke 13
1 Just at that time some people had come to tell Jesus about the Galileans, whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
Men paa den samme Tid var der nogle til Stede, som fortalte ham om de Galilæere, hvis Blod Pilatus havde blandet med deres Ofre.
2 “Do you suppose,” replied Jesus, “that, because these Galileans have suffered in this way, they were worse sinners than any other Galileans?
Og han svarede og sagde til dem: „Mene I, at disse Galilæere vare Syndere fremfor alle Galilæere, fordi de have lidt dette?
3 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish as they did.
Nej, siger jeg eder; men dersom I ikke omvende eder, skulle I alle omkomme ligesaa.
4 Or those eighteen men at Siloam on whom the tower fell, killing them all, do you suppose that they were worse offenders than any other inhabitants of Jerusalem?
Eller hine atten, som Taarnet i Siloam faldt ned over og ihjelslog, mene I, at de vare skyldige fremfor alle Mennesker, som bo i Jerusalem?
5 No, I tell you; but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same manner.”
Nej, siger jeg eder; men dersom I ikke omvende eder, skulle I alle omkomme ligesaa.‟
6 And Jesus told them this parable — “A man, who had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, came to look for fruit on it, but could not find any.
Men han sagde denne Lignelse: „En havde et Figentræ, som var plantet i hans Vingaard; og han kom og ledte efter Frugt derpaa og fandt ingen.
7 So he said to his gardener ‘Three years now I have come to look for fruit on this fig tree, without finding any! Cut it down. Why should it rob the soil?’
Men han sagde til Vingaardsmanden: Se, i tre Aar er jeg nu kommen og har ledt efter Frugt paa dette Figentræ og ingen fundet; hug det om; hvorfor skal det tilmed gøre Jorden unyttig?
8 ‘Leave it this one year more, Sir,’ the man answered, ‘till I have dug round it and manured it.
Men han svarede og sagde til ham: Herre! lad det staa endnu dette Aar, indtil jeg faar gravet om det og gødet det;
9 Then, if it bears in future, well and good; but if not, you can have it cut down.’”
maaske vil det bære Frugt i Fremtiden; men hvis ikke, da hug det om!‟
10 Jesus was teaching on a Sabbath in one of the Synagogues,
Men han lærte i en af Synagogerne paa Sabbaten.
11 and he saw before him a woman who for eighteen years had suffered from weakness owing to her having an evil spirit in her. She was bent double, and was wholly unable to raise herself.
Og se, der var en Kvinde, som havde haft en Svagheds Aand i atten Aar, og hun var sammenbøjet og kunde aldeles ikke rette sig op.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said: “Woman, you are released from your weakness.”
Men da Jesus saa hende, kaldte han paa hende og sagde til hende: „Kvinde! du er løst fra din Svaghed.‟
13 He placed his hands on her, and she was instantly made straight, and began to praise God.
Og han lagde Hænderne paa hende; og straks rettede hun sig op og priste Gud.
14 But the President of the Synagogue, indignant that Jesus had worked the cure on the Sabbath, interposed and said to the people: “There are six days on which work ought to be done; come to be cured on one of those, and not on the Sabbath.”
Men Synagogeforstanderen, som var vred, fordi Jesus helbredte paa Sabbaten, tog til Orde og sagde til Folkeskaren: „Der er seks Dage, paa hvilke man bør arbejde; kommer derfor paa dem og lader eder helbrede, og ikke paa Sabbatsdagen!‟
15 “You hypocrites!” the Master answered him. “Does not every one of you let his ox or his ass loose from its manger, and take it out to drink, on the Sabbath?
Men Herren svarede ham og sagde: „I Hyklere! løser ikke enhver iblandt eder sin Okse eller sit Asen fra Krybben paa Sabbaten og fører dem til Vands?
16 But this woman, a daughter of Abraham, who has been kept in bondage by Satan for now eighteen years, ought not she to have been released from her bondage on the Sabbath?”
Men denne, som er en Abrahams Datter, hvem Satan har bundet, se, i atten Aar, burde hun ikke løses fra dette Baand paa Sabbatsdagen?‟
17 As he said this, his opponents all felt ashamed; but all the people rejoiced to see all the wonderful things that he was doing.
Og da han sagde dette, bleve alle hans Modstandere beskæmmede; og hele Skaren glædede sig over alle de herlige Gerninger, som gjordes af ham.
18 So Jesus said: “What is the Kingdom of God like? and to what can I liken it?
Han sagde da: „Hvad ligner Guds Rige, og hvormed skal jeg ligne det?
19 It is like a mustard-seed which a man took and put in his garden. The seed grew and became a tree, and ‘the wild birds roosted in its branches.’”
Det ligner et Sennepskorn, som et Menneske tog og lagde i sin Have; og det voksede og blev til et Træ, og Himmelens Fugle byggede Rede i dets Grene.‟
20 And again Jesus said: “To what can I liken the Kingdom of God?
Og atter sagde han: „Hvormed skal jeg ligne Guds Rige?
21 It is like some yeast which a woman took and covered in three pecks of flour, until the whole had risen.”
Det ligner en Surdejg, som en Kvinde tog og lagde ned i tre Maal Mel, indtil det blev syret alt sammen.‟
22 Jesus went through towns and villages, teaching as he went, and making his way towards Jerusalem.
Og han gik igennem Byer og Landsbyer og lærte og tog Vejen til Jerusalem.
23 “Master,” some one asked, “are there but few in the path of Salvation?” And Jesus answered:
Men en sagde til ham: „Herre! mon de ere faa, som blive frelste?‟ Da sagde han til dem:
24 “Strive to go in by the small door. Many, I tell you, will seek to go in, but they will not be able,
„Kæmper for at komme ind igennem den snævre Port; thi mange, siger jeg eder, skulle søge at komme ind og ikke formaa det.
25 when once the master of the house has got up and shut the door, while you begin to say, as you stand outside and knock, ‘Sir, open the door for us.’ His answer will be — ‘I do not know where you come from.’
Fra den Stund Husbonden er staaet op og har lukket Døren, og I begynde at staa udenfor og banke paa Døren og sige: Herre, luk op for os! da vil han svare og sige til eder: Jeg kender eder ikke, hvorfra I ere;
26 Then you will begin to say ‘We have eaten and drunk in your presence, and you have taught in our streets,’ and his reply will be —
da skulle I begynde at sige: Vi spiste og drak for dine Øjne, og du lærte paa vore Gader,
27 ‘I do not know where you come from. Leave my presence, all you who are living in wickedness.’
og han skal sige: Jeg siger eder, jeg kender eder ikke, hvorfra I ere; viger bort fra mig, alle I, som øve Uret!
28 There, there will be weeping and grinding of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the Prophets, in the Kingdom of God, while you yourselves are being driven outside.
Der skal der være Graad og Tænders Gnidsel, naar I maa se Abraham og Isak og Jakob og alle Profeterne i Guds Rige, men eder selv blive kastede udenfor.
29 People will come from East and West, and from North and South, and take their places at the banquet in the Kingdom of God.
Og de skulle komme fra Øster og Vester og fra Norden og Sønden og sidde til Bords i Guds Rige.
30 there are some who are last now who will then be first, and some who are first now who will then be last!”
Og se, der er sidste, som skulle være iblandt de første, og der er første, som skulle være iblandt de sidste.‟
31 Just then some Pharisees came up to Jesus and said: “Go away and leave this place, for Herod wants to kill you.”
I den samme Stund kom nogle Farisæere og sagde til ham: „Gaa bort, og drag herfra; thi Herodes vil slaa dig ihjel.‟
32 But Jesus answered: “Go and say to that fox ‘Look you, I am driving out demons and shall be completing cures to-day and to-morrow, and on the third day I shall have done.’
Og han sagde til dem: „Gaar hen og siger til denne Ræv: Se, jeg uddriver onde Aander og fuldfører Helbredelser i Dag og i Morgen, og paa den tredje Dag fuldendes jeg.
33 But to-day and to-morrow and the day after I must go on my way, because it cannot be that a Prophet should meet his end outside Jerusalem.
Dog bør jeg vandre i Dag og i Morgen og den Dag derefter; thi det sømmer sig ikke, at en Profet dræbes uden for Jerusalem.
34 Jerusalem! Jerusalem! she who slays the Prophets and stones the messengers sent to her — Oh, how often have I wished to gather your children round me, as a hen takes her brood under her wings, and you would not come!
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! som ihjelslaar Profeterne og stener dem, som ere sendte til dig! hvor ofte vilde jeg samle dine Børn, ligesom en Høne samler sine Kyllinger under Vingerne! Og I vilde ikke.
35 Verily your House is left to you desolate! and never, I tell you, shall you see me, until you say — ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.’”
Se, eders Hus overlades til eder selv. Men jeg siger eder: I skulle ingenlunde se mig, førend den Tid kommer, da I sige: Velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn!‟
