Matthew 11
1 When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.
Og det skete, da Jesus var færdig med at give sine tolv Disciple Befaling, gik han videre derfra for at lære og prædike i deres Byer.
2 Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples
Men da Johannes hørte i Fængselet om Kristi Gerninger, sendte han Bud med sine Disciple og lod ham sige:
3 and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”
"Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"
4 Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
Og Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Går hen, og forkynder Johannes de Ting, som I høre og se:
5 the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.
blinde se, og lamme gå, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde stå op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;
6 Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”
og salig er den, som ikke forarges på mig."
7 As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
Men da disse gik bort, begyndte Jesus at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: "Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?
8 But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? Et Menneske, iført bløde Klæder? Se, de, som bære bløde Klæder, ere i Kongernes Huse.
9 But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.
Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet.
10 For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’
Thi han er den, om hvem der er skrevet: Se, jeg sender min Engel for dit Ansigt, han skal berede din Vej foran dig.
11 Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større fremstået end Johannes Døberen; men den mindste i Himmeriges Rige er større end han.
12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
Men fra Johannes Døberens Dage indtil nu tages Himmeriges Rige med Vold, og Voldsmænd rive det til sig.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.
14 If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.
Og dersom I ville tage imod det: Han er Elias, som skal komme.
15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions
Men hvem skal jeg ligne denne Slægt ved? Den ligner Børn, som sidde på Torvene og råbe til de andre og sige:
17 and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’
Vi blæste på Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
Thi Johannes kom, som hverken spiste eller drak, og de sige: Han er besat.
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og de sige: Se, en Frådser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven! Dog, Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved sine Børn."
20 Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.
Da begyndte han at skamme de Byer ud, i hvilke hans fleste kraftige Gerninger vare gjorte, fordi de ikke havde omvendt sig:
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
"Ve dig, Korazin! ve dig, Bethsajda! thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i eder, vare skete i Tyrus og Sidon, da havde de for længe siden omvendt sig i Sæk og Aske.
22 But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gå Tyrus og Sidon tåleligere på Dommens Dag end eder.
23 You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today. (Hadēs g86)
Og du, Kapernaum! som er bleven ophøjet indtil Himmelen, du skal nedstødes indtil Dødsriget; thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i dig, vare skete i Sodoma, da var den bleven stående indtil denne Dag. (Hadēs g86)
24 But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”
Men jeg siger eder: Det skal gå Sodomas Land tåleligere på Dommens Dag end dig."
25 At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.
På den Tid udbrød Jesus og sagde: "Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og åbenbaret det for umyndige.
26 Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.
Ja, Fader! thi således skete det, som var velbehageligt for dig.
27 All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.
Alle Ting ere mig overgivne af min Fader; og ingen kender Sønnen uden Faderen, og ingen kender Faderen uden Sønnen, og den, for hvem Sønnen vil åbenbare ham.
28 “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.
Kommer hid til mig alle, som lide Møje og ere besværede, og jeg vil give eder Hvile.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.
Tager mit Åg på eder, og lærer af mig; thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af Hjertet; så skulle I finde Hvile for eders Sjæle.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Thi mit Åg er gavnligt, og min Byrde er let."
