Matthew 19

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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?

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?

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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."

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

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

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

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

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.

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!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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!"

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,

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;

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

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

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

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

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.

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!"

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

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

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

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

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."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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 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.

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.

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

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