Matthew 19

Og det skete, da Jesus havde fuldendt disse Ord, drog han bort fra Galilæa og kom til Judæas Egne, hinsides Jordan.

And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judaea beyond Jordan;

Og store Skarer fulgte ham, og han helbredte dem der.

And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.

Og Farisæerne kom til ham, fristede ham og sagde: "Er det tilladt at skille sig fra sin Hustru af hvilken som helst Grund?"

The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

Men han svarede og sagde: "Have I ikke læst, at Skaberen fra Begyndelsen skabte dem som Mand og Kvinde

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,

og sagde: Derfor skal en Mand forlade sin Fader og sin Moder og holde sig til sin Hustru, og de to skulle blive til eet Kød?

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Således ere de ikke længer to, men eet Kød. Derfor, hvad Gud har sammenføjet, må et Menneske ikke adskille."

Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

De sige til ham: "Hvorfor bød da Moses at give et Skilsmissebrev og skille sig fra hende?"

They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?

Han siger til dem: "Moses tilstedte eder at skille eder fra eders Hustruer for eders Hjerters Hårdheds Skyld; men fra Begyndelsen har det ikke været således.

He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.

Men jeg siger eder, at den, som skiller sig fra sin Hustru, når det ikke er for Hors Skyld, og tager en anden til Ægte, han bedriver Hor; og den, som tager en fraskilt Hustru til Ægte, han bedriver Hor."

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Står Mandens Sag med Hustruen således, da er det ikke godt at gifte sig."

His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry.

Men han sagde til dem: "Ikke alle rummer dette Ord, men de, hvem det er givet:

But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

Thi der er Gildinger, som ere fødte således fra Moders Liv; og der er Gildinger, som ere gildede af Mennesker; og der er Gildinger, som have gildet sig selv for Himmeriges Riges Skyld. Den, som kan rumme det, han rumme det!"

For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Da blev der båret små Børn til ham, for at han skulde lægge Hænderne på dem og bede; men Disciplene truede dem.

Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.

Da sagde Jesus: "Lader de små Børn komme, og formener dem ikke at komme til mig; thi Himmeriges Rige hører sådanne til."

But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Og han lagde Hænderne på dem, og han drog derfra.

And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.

Og se, en kom til ham og sagde: "Mester! hvad godt skal jeg gøre, for at jeg kan få et evigt Liv?"

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?

Men han sagde til ham: "Hvorfor spørger du mig om det gode? Een er den gode. Men vil du indgå til Livet, da hold Budene!"

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

Han siger til ham: "Hvilke?" Men Jesus sagde: "Dette: Du må ikke slå ihjel; du må ikke bedrive Hor; du må ikke stjæle; du må ikke sige falsk Vidnesbyrd;

He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness,

ær din Fader og din Moder, og: Du skal elske din Næste som dig selv."

Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Den unge Mand siger til ham: "Det har jeg holdt alt sammen; hvad fattes mig endnu?"

The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?

Jesus sagde til ham: "Vil du være fuldkommen, da gå bort, sælg, hvad du ejer, og giv det til fattige, så skal du have en Skat i Himmelen; og kom så og følg mig!"

Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.

Men da den unge Mand hørte det Ord, gik han bedrøvet bort; thi han havde meget Gods.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

Men Jesus sagde til sine Disciple: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder: En rig Kommer vanskeligt ind i Himmeriges Rige.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Atter siger jeg eder: Det er lettere for en Kamel at gå igennem et Nåleøje end for en rig at gå ind i Guds Rige."

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Men da Disciplene hørte dette, forfærdedes de såre og sagde: "Hvem kan da blive frelst?"

When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?

Men Jesus så på dem og sagde: "For Mennesker er dette umuligt, men for Gud ere alle Ting mulige."

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Da svarede Peter og sagde til ham: "Se, vi have forladt alle Ting og fulgt dig; hvad skulle da vi have?"

Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?

Men Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, siger jeg eder, at i Igenfødelsen, når Menneskesønnen sidder på sin Herligheds Trone, skulle også I, som have fulgt mig, sidde på tolv Troner og dømme Israels tolv Stammer.

And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

Og hver, som har forladt Hus eller Brødre eller Søstre eller Fader eller Moder eller Hustru eller Børn eller Marker for mit Navns Skyld, skal få det mange Fold igen og arve et evigt Liv.

And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Men mange af de første skulle blive de sidste, og af de sidste de første.

But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.
