Luke 8

And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him,

Og det skete i Tiden der efter, at han rejste igennem Byer og Landsbyer og prædikede og forkyndte Evangeliet om Guds Rige, og med ham de tolv

And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils,

og nogle Kvinder, som vare helbredte fra onde Ånder og Sygdomme, nemlig: Maria, der kaldes Magdalene, af hvem syv onde Ånder vare udfarne;

And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance.

og Johanna, Herodes's Husfoged Kuzas Hustru, og Susanna og mange andre, som tjente dem med, hvad de ejede.

And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable:

Men da en stor Skare kom sammen, og de droge til ham fra de forskellige Byer, sagde han ved en Lignelse:

A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it.

"En Sædemand gik ud at så sin Sæd; og idet han såede, faldt noget ved Vejen og blev nedtrådt, og Himmelens Fugle åde det op.

And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture.

Og noget faldt på Klippen; og da det voksede op, visnede det, fordi det ikke havde Væde.

And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it.

Og noget faldt midt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op med og kvalte det.

And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Og noget faldt i den gode Jord, og det voksede op og bar hundrede Fold Frugt." Da han sagde dette, råbte han: "Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!"

And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?

Men hans Disciple spurgte ham, hvad denne Lignelse skulde betyde.

And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

Og han sagde: "Eder er det givet at kende Guds Riges Hemmeligheder, men de andre i Lignelser, for at de, skønt seende, ikke skulle se, og, skønt hørende, ikke skulle forstå.

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

Men dette er Lignelsen: Sæden er Guds Ord.

Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

Men de ved Vejen ere de, som høre det; derefter kommer Djævelen og tager Ordet bort af deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle tro og blive frelste.

They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

Men de på Klippen ere de, som modtage Ordet med Glæde, når de høre det, og disse have ikke Rod; de tro til en Tid og falde fra i Fristelsens Tid.

And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

Men det, som faldt iblandt Torne, det er dem, som have hørt og så gå hen og kvæles under Livets Bekymringer og Rigdom og Nydelser og ikke bære moden Frugt.

But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Men det i den gode Jord, det er dem, som, når de have hørt Ordet, beholde det i et smukt og godt Hjerte og bære Frugt i Udholdenhed.

No man, when he hath lighted a candle, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth it under a bed; but setteth it on a candlestick, that they which enter in may see the light.

Men ingen, som tænder et Lys, skjuler det med et Kar eller sætter det under en Bænk; men han sætter det på en Lysestage, for at de, som komme ind, kunne se Lyset.

For nothing is secret, that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid, that shall not be known and come abroad.

Thi der er ikke noget skjult, som jo skal blive åbenbart; og ikke noget lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt og komme for Lyset.

Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

Ser derfor til, hvorledes I høre; thi den, som har, ham skal der gives; og den, som ikke har, fra ham skal endog det tages, han synes at have."

Then came to him his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press.

Men hans Moder og Brødre kom til ham og kunde ikke nå frem til ham for Skaren.

And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee.

Og det blev ham meddelt: "Din Moder og dine Brødre stå udenfor og begære at se dig."

And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it.

Men han svarede og sagde til dem: "Min Moder og mine Brødre ere disse, som høre Guds Ord og gøre efter det."

Now it came to pass on a certain day, that he went into a ship with his disciples: and he said unto them, Let us go over unto the other side of the lake. And they launched forth.

Og det skete en af de Dage, at han gik om Bord i et Skib tillige med sine Disciple, og han sagde til dem: "Lader os fare over til hin Side af Søen;" og de sejlede ud.

But as they sailed he fell asleep: and there came down a storm of wind on the lake; and they were filled with water, and were in jeopardy.

Men medens de sejlede, faldt han i Søvn; og en Stormvind for ned over Søen, og Skibet blev fuldt af Vand, og de vare i Fare.

And they came to him, and awoke him, saying, Master, master, we perish. Then he arose, and rebuked the wind and the raging of the water: and they ceased, and there was a calm.

Da trådte de hen og vækkede ham og sagde: "Mester, Mester! vi forgå." Men han stod op og truede Vinden og Vandets Bølger; og de lagde sig, og det blev blikstille.

And he said unto them, Where is your faith? And they being afraid wondered, saying one to another, What manner of man is this! for he commandeth even the winds and water, and they obey him.

Og han sagde til dem: "Hvor, er eders Tro?" Men de frygtede og undrede sig, og sagde til hverandre: "Hvem er dog denne, siden han byder både over Vindene og Vandet, og de ere ham lydige?"

And they arrived at the country of the Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee.

Og de sejlede ind til Gadarenernes Land, som ligger lige over for Galilæa.

And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs.

Men da han trådte ud på Landjorden, mødte der ham en Mand fra Byen, som i lang Tid havde været besat af onde Ånder og ikke havde haft Klæder på og ikke opholdt sig i Hus, men i Gravene.

When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.

Men da han så Jesus, råbte han og faldt ned for ham og sagde med høj Røst: "Hvad har jeg med dig at gøre, Jesus, den højeste Guds Søn? jeg beder dig om, at du ikke vil pine mig."

(For he had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught him: and he was kept bound with chains and in fetters; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the devil into the wilderness.)

Thi han bød den urene Ånd at fare ud af Manden; thi i lange Tider havde den revet ham med sig, og han blev bunden med Lænker og Bøjer og bevogtet, og han sønderrev, hvad man bandt ham med, og dreves af den onde Ånd ud i Ørkenerne.

And Jesus asked him, saying, What is thy name? And he said, Legion: because many devils were entered into him.

Men Jesus spurgte ham og sagde: "Hvad er dit Navn?" Men han sagde: "Leion"; thi mange onde Ånder vare farne i ham.

And they besought him that he would not command them to go out into the deep.

Og de bade ham om at han ikke vilde byde dem at fare ned i Afgrunden;

And there was there an herd of many swine feeding on the mountain: and they besought him that he would suffer them to enter into them. And he suffered them.

men der var sammesteds en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede på Bjerget; og de bade ham om, at han vilde tilstede dem at fare i dem; og han tilstedte dem det.

Then went the devils out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were choked.

Men de onde Ånder fore ud at Manden og fore i Svinene, og Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og druknede.

When they that fed them saw what was done, they fled, and went and told it in the city and in the country.

Men da Hyrderne så det, som var sket, flyede de og forkyndte det i Byen og på Landet.

Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Da gik de ud for af se det, som var sket, og de kom til Jesus og fandt Manden, af hvem de onde Ånder vare udfarne, siddende ved Jesu Fødder, påklædt og ved Samling; og de frygtede.

They also which saw it told them by what means he that was possessed of the devils was healed.

Og de, som havde set det, fortalte dem, hvorledes den besatte var bleven frelst.

Then the whole multitude of the country of the Gadarenes round about besought him to depart from them; for they were taken with great fear: and he went up into the ship, and returned back again.

Og hele Mængden fra Gadarenernes Omegn bad ham om, at han vilde gå bort fra dem; thi de vare betagne af stor Frygt. Men han gik om Bord i et Skib og vendte tilbage igen.

Now the man out of whom the devils were departed besought him that he might be with him: but Jesus sent him away, saying,

Men Manden, af hvem de onde Ånder vare udfarne, bad ham om, at han måtte være hos ham; men han lod ham fare og sagde:

Return to thine own house, and shew how great things God hath done unto thee. And he went his way, and published throughout the whole city how great things Jesus had done unto him.

"Vend tilbage til dit Hus, og fortæl, hvor store Ting Gud har gjort imod dig." Og han gik bort og kundgjorde over hele Byen, hvor store Ting Jesus havde gjort imod ham.

And it came to pass, that, when Jesus was returned, the people gladly received him: for they were all waiting for him.

Men det skete, da Jesus kom tilbage, tog Skaren imod ham; thi de ventede alle på ham.

And, behold, there came a man named Jairus, and he was a ruler of the synagogue: and he fell down at Jesus' feet, and besought him that he would come into his house:

Og se, det kom en Mand, som hed Jairus, og han var Forstander for Synagogen; og han faldt ned for Jesu Fødder og bad ham komme ind i hans Hus;

For he had one only daughter, about twelve years of age, and she lay a dying. But as he went the people thronged him.

thi han havde en enbåren Datter, omtrent tolv År gammel, og hun droges med Døden. Men idet han gik, trængte Skarerne sig sammen om ham.

And a woman having an issue of blood twelve years, which had spent all her living upon physicians, neither could be healed of any,

Og en Kvinde, som havde haft Blodflod i tolv År og havde kostet al sin Formue på Læger og ikke kunde blive helbredt af nogen,

Came behind him, and touched the border of his garment: and immediately her issue of blood stanched.

hun gik til bagfra og rørte ved Fligen af hans Klædebon, og straks standsedes hendes Blodflod.

And Jesus said, Who touched me? When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, Master, the multitude throng thee and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

Og Jesus sagde: "Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?" Men da alle nægtede det, sagde Peter og de, som vare med ham: "Mester! Skarerne trykke og trænge dig, og du siger: Hvem var det, som rørte ved mig?"

And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.

Men Jesus sagde: "Der rørte nogen ved mig; thi jeg mærkede, at der udgik en Kraft fra mig."

And when the woman saw that she was not hid, she came trembling, and falling down before him, she declared unto him before all the people for what cause she had touched him, and how she was healed immediately.

Men da Kvinden så, at det ikke var skjult, kom hun bævende og faldt ned for ham og fortalte i alt Folkets Påhør, af hvad Årsag hun havde rørt ved ham, og hvorledes hun straks var bleven helbredt.

And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

Men han sagde til hende: "Datter! din Tro har frelst dig; gå bort med Fred!"

While he yet spake, there cometh one from the ruler of the synagogue's house, saying to him, Thy daughter is dead; trouble not the Master.

Medens han endnu talte, kommer der en fra Synagogeforstanderens Hus og siger til ham: "Din Datter er død; umag ikke Mesteren!"

But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.

Men da Jesus hørte det, svarede han ham: "Frygt ikke; tro blot; så skal hun blive frelst."

And when he came into the house, he suffered no man to go in, save Peter, and James, and John, and the father and the mother of the maiden.

Men da han kom til Huset, tillod han ingen at gå ind med sig uden Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Pigens Fader og Moder.

And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said, Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth.

Og de græd alle og holdt Veklage over hende; men han sagde: "Græder ikke; hun er ikke død, men sover."

And they laughed him to scorn, knowing that she was dead.

Og de lo ad ham; thi de vidste, at hun var død.

And he put them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying, Maid, arise.

Men han greb hendes Hånd og råbte og sagde: "Pige, stå op!"

And her spirit came again, and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.

Og hendes Ånd vendte tilbage, og hun stod straks op; og han befalede, at de skulde give hende noget at spise.

And her parents were astonished: but he charged them that they should tell no man what was done.

Og hendes Forældre bleve forfærdede; men han bød dem, at de ikke måtte sige nogen det, som var sket.
