Luke 18
1 He also spoke a parable to them that they must always pray and not give up,
Men han talte til dem en Lignelse om, at de burde altid bede og ikke blive trætte,
2 saying, “There was a judge in a certain city who didn’t fear God and didn’t respect man.
og sagde: "Der var i en By en Dommer, som ikke frygtede Gud og ikke undså sig for noget Menneske.
3 A widow was in that city, and she often came to him, saying, ‘Defend me from my adversary!’
Og der var en Enke i den By, og hun kom til ham og sagde: Skaf mig Ret over min Modpart!
4 He wouldn’t for a while; but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man,
Og længe vilde han ikke. Men derefter sagde han ved sig selv: Om jeg end ikke frygter Gud, ej heller undser mig for noget Menneske,
5 yet because this widow bothers me, I will defend her, or else she will wear me out by her continual coming.’”
så vil jeg dog, efterdi denne Enke volder mig Besvær, skaffe Hende Ret, for at hun ikke uophørligt skal komme og plage mig."
6 The Lord said, “Listen to what the unrighteous judge says.
Men Herren sagde: "Hører, hvad den uretfærdige Dommer siger!
7 Won’t God avenge his chosen ones who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them?
Skulde da Gud ikke skaffe sine udvalgte Ret, de, som råbe til ham Dag og Nat? og er han ikke langmodig, når det gælder dem?
8 I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Jeg siger eder, han skal skaffe dem Ret i Hast. Men mon Menneskesønnen, når han kommer, vil finde Troen på Jorden?"
9 He also spoke this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others:
Men han sagde også til nogle, som stolede på sig selv, at de vare retfærdige, og foragtede de andre, denne Lignelse:
10 “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.
"Der gik to Mænd op til Helligdommen for at bede; den ene var en Farisæer, og den anden en Tolder.
11 The Pharisee stood and prayed by himself like this: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like the rest of men: extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
Farisæeren stod og bad ved sig selv således: Gud! Jeg takker dig, fordi jeg ikke er som de andre Mennesker, Røvere, uretfærdige, Horkarle, eller også som denne Tolder.
12 I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’
Jeg faster to Gange om Ugen, jeg giver Tiende af al min indtægt.
13 But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his chest, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
Men Tolderen stod langt borte og vilde end ikke opløfte Øjnene til Himmelen, men slog sig for sit Bryst og sagde: Gud, vær mig Synder nådig!
14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Jeg siger eder: Denne gik retfærdiggjort hjem til sit Hus fremfor den anden; thi enhver, som Ophøjer sig selv, skal fornedres; men den, som fornedrer sig selv, skal ophøjes."
15 They were also bringing their babies to him, that he might touch them. But when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them.
Men de bare også de små Børn til ham, for at han skulde røre ved dem; men da Disciplene så det, truede de dem.
16 Yeshua summoned them, saying, “Allow the little children to come to me, and don’t hinder them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.
Men Jesus kaldte dem til sig og sagde: "Lader de små Børn komme til mig, og formener dem det ikke; thi Guds Rige hører sådanne til.
17 Most certainly, I tell you, whoever doesn’t receive God’s Kingdom like a little child, he will in no way enter into it.”
Sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som ikke modtager Guds Rige ligesom et lille Barn, han skal ingenlunde komme ind i det."
18 A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Rabbi, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” (aiōnios g166)
Og en af de Øverste spurgte ham og sagde: "Gode Mester! hvad skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan arve et evigt Liv?" (aiōnios g166)
19 Yeshua asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one: God.
Men Jesus sagde til ham: "Hvorfor kalder du mig god? Ingen er god uden een, nemlig Gud.
20 You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honour your father and your mother.’”
Du kender Budene: Du må ikke bedrive Hor; du må ikke slå ihjel; du må ikke stjæle; du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd; Ær din Fader og din Moder."
21 He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.”
Men han sagde: "Det har jeg holdt alt sammen fra min Ungdom af."
22 When Yeshua heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. Then you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me.”
Men da Jesus hørte det, sagde han til ham: "Endnu een Ting fattes dig: Sælg alt, hvad du har, og uddel det til fattige, så skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom så og følg mig!"
23 But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.
Men da han hørte dette, blev han dybt bedrøvet; thi han var såre rig.
24 Yeshua, seeing that he became very sad, said, “How hard it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom!
Men da Jesus så, at han blev dybt bedrøvet, sagde han: "Hvor vanskeligt komme de, som have Rigdom, ind i Guds Rige!
25 For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom.”
thi det er lettere for en Kamel at gå igennem et Nåleøje end for en rig at gå ind i Guds Rige."
26 Those who heard it said, “Then who can be saved?”
Men de, som hørte det, sagde: "Hvem kan da blive frelst?"
27 But he said, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.”
Men han sagde: "Hvad der er umuligt for Mennesker, det er muligt for Gud."
28 Peter said, “Look, we have left everything and followed you.”
Men Peter sagde: "Se, vi have forladt vort eget og fulgt dig."
29 He said to them, “Most certainly I tell you, there is no one who has left house, or wife, or brothers, or parents, or children, for God’s Kingdom’s sake,
Men han sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, der er ingen, som har forladt Hus eller Forældre eller Brødre eller Hustru eller Børn for Guds Riges Skyld,
31 He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all the things that are written through the prophets concerning the Son of Man will be completed.
Men han tog de tolv til sig og sagde til dem: "Se, vi drage op til Jerusalem, og alle de Ting, som ere skrevne ved Profeterne, skulle fuldbyrdes på Menneskesønnen.
32 For he will be delivered up to the Gentiles, will be mocked, treated shamefully, and spit on.
Thi han skal overgives til Hedningerne og spottes, forhånes og bespyttes,
33 They will scourge and kill him. On the third day, he will rise again.”
og de skulle hudstryge og ihjelslå ham; og på den tredje Dag skal han opstå."
34 They understood none of these things. This saying was hidden from them, and they didn’t understand the things that were said.
Og de fattede intet deraf, og dette Ord var skjult for dem, og de forstode ikke det, som blev sagt.
35 As he came near Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the road, begging.
Men det skete, da han nærmede sig til Jeriko, sad der en blind ved Vejen og tiggede.
36 Hearing a multitude going by, he asked what this meant.
Og da han hørte en Skare gå forbi, spurgte han, hvad dette var.
37 They told him that Yeshua of Nazareth was passing by.
Men de fortalte ham, at Jesus af Nazareth kom forbi.
38 He cried out, “Yeshua, you son of David, have mercy on me!”
Og han råbte og sagde:"Jesus, du Davids Søn, forbarm dig over mig!"
39 Those who led the way rebuked him, that he should be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “You son of David, have mercy on me!”
Og de, som gik foran, truede ham, for at han skulde tie; men han råbte meget stærkere: "Du Davids Søn, forbarm dig over mig!"
40 Standing still, Yeshua commanded him to be brought to him. When he had come near, he asked him,
Og Jesus stod stille og bød, at han skulde føres til ham; men da han kom nær til ham, spurgte han ham og sagde:
41 “What do you want me to do?” He said, “Lord, that I may see again.”
"Hvad vil du, at jeg skal gøre for dig?" Men han sagde: "Herre! at jeg må blive seende."
42 Yeshua said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has healed you.”
Og Jesus sagde til ham: "Bliv seende! din Tro har frelst dig."
43 Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.
Og straks blev han seende, og han fulgte ham og priste Gud; og hele Folket lovpriste Gud, da de så det.
