Matthew 14

At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus,

På den Tid hørte Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes Rygtet om Jesus.

And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.

Og han sagde til sine Tjenere: "Det er Johannes Døberen; han er oprejst fra de døde, derfor virke Kræfterne i ham."

For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

Thi Herodes havde grebet Johannes og bundet ham og sat ham i Fængsel for sin Broder Filips Hustru, Herodias's Skyld.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.

Johannes sagde nemlig til ham: "Det er dig ikke tilladt at have hende."

And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet.

Og han vilde gerne slå ham ihjel, men frygtede for Mængden, thi de holdt ham for en Profet.

But when Herod's birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod.

Men da Herodes's Fødselsdag kom, dansede Herodias's Datter for dem; og hun behagede Herodes.

Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask.

Derfor lovede han med en Ed at give hende, hvad som helst hun begærede.

And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist's head in a charger.

Og tilskyndet af sin Moder siger hun: "Giv mig Johannes Døberens Hoved hid på et Fad!"

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her.

Og Kongen blev bedrøvet; men for sine Eders og for Gæsternes Skyld befalede han, at det skulde gives hende.

And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.

Og han sendte Bud og lod Johannes halshugge i Fængselet.

And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother.

Og hans Hoved blev bragt på et Fad og givet Pigen, og hun bragte det til sin Moder.

And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

Da kom hans Disciple og toge Liget og begravede ham, og de kom og forkyndte Jesus det.

When Jesus heard of it, he departed thence by ship into a desert place apart: and when the people had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of the cities.

Og da Jesus hørte det, drog han bort derfra i et Skib til et øde Sted afsides; og da Skarerne hørte det, fulgte de ham til Fods fra Byerne.

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

Og da han kom i Land, så han en stor Skare, og han ynkedes inderligt over dem og helbredte deres syge.

And when it was evening, his disciples came to him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and buy themselves victuals.

Men da det blev Aften, kom Disciplene til ham og sagde: "Stedet er øde, og Tiden er allerede forløben; lad Skarerne gå bort, for at de kunne gå hen i Landsbyerne og købe sig Mad."

But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat.

Men Jesus sagde til dem: "De have ikke nødig at gå bort; giver I dem at spise!"

And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes.

Men de sige til ham: "Vi have ikke her uden fem Brød og to Fisk."

He said, Bring them hither to me.

Men han sagde: "Henter mig dem hid!"

And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.

Og han bød Skarerne at sætte sig ned i Græsset og tog de fem Brød og de to Fisk, så op til Himmelen og velsignede; og han brød Brødene og gav Disciplene dem, og Disciplene gave dem til Skarerne.

And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.

Og de spiste alle og bleve mætte; og de opsamlede det, som blev tilovers af Stykkerne, tolv Kurve fulde

And they that had eaten were about five thousand men, beside women and children.

Men de, som spiste, vare omtrent fem Tusinde Mænd, foruden Kvinder og Børn.

And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.

Og straks nødte han sine Disciple til at gå om Bord i Skibet og i Forvejen sætte over til hin Side, medens han lod Skarerne gå bort.

And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.

Og da han havde ladet Skarerne gå bort, gik han op på Bjerget afsides for at bede. Og da det blev silde, var han der alene.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

Men Skibet var allerede midt på Søen og led Nød af Bølgerne; thi Vinden var imod.

And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.

Men i den fjerde Nattevagt kom han til dem, vandrende på Søen.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

Og da Disciplene så ham vandre på Søen, bleve de forfærdede og sagde: "Det er et Spøgelse;" og de skrege af Frygt.

But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.

Men straks talte Jesus til dem og sagde: "Værer frimodige; det er mig, frygter ikke!"

And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.

Men Peter svarede ham og sagde: "Herre! dersom det er dig, da byd mig at komme til dig på Vandet!"

And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.

Men han sagde: "Kom!" Og Peter trådte ned fra Skibet og vandrede på Vandet for at komme til Jesus.

But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.

Men da han så det stærke Vejr, blev han bange; og da han begyndte at synke, råbte han og sagde: "Herre, frels mig!"

And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

Og straks udrakte Jesus Hånden og greb ham, og han siger til ham: "Du lidettroende, hvorfor tvivlede du?"

And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.

Og da de stege op i Skibet, lagde Vinden sig.

Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

Men de, som vare i Skibet, faldt ned for ham og sagde: "Du er sandelig Guds Søn."

And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret.

Og da de vare farne over, landede de i Genezareth.

And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased;

Og da Folkene på det Sted kendte ham, sendte de Bud til hele Egnen der omkring og bragte alle de syge til ham.

And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole.

Og de bade ham, at de blot måtte røre ved Fligen af hans Klædebon; og alle de, som rørte derved, bleve helbredede.
