Lukas 8

¹ 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

¹ Soon afterwards, He began going around from one city and village to another, proclaiming and preaching the kingdom of God. The twelve were with Him,

³ og Johanna, Herodes's Husfoged Kuzas Hustru, og Susanna og mange andre, som tjente dem med, hvad de ejede.

³ and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means.

⁵ "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.

⁵ “The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

⁷ Og noget faldt midt iblandt Torne, og Tornene voksede op med og kvalte det.

⁷ Other seed fell among the thorns; and the thorns grew up with it and choked it out.

⁹ Men hans Disciple spurgte ham, hvad denne Lignelse skulde betyde.

⁹ His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

¹¹ Men dette er Lignelsen: Sæden er Guds Ord.

¹¹ “Now the parable is this: the seed is the word of God.

¹³ 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.

¹³ Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.

¹⁵ 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.

¹⁵ But the seed in the good soil, these are the ones who have heard the word in an honest and good heart, and hold it fast, and bear fruit with perseverance.

¹⁷ Thi der er ikke noget skjult, som jo skal blive åbenbart; og ikke noget lønligt, som jo skal blive kendt og komme for Lyset.

¹⁷ For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

¹⁹ Men hans Moder og Brødre kom til ham og kunde ikke nå frem til ham for Skaren.

¹⁹ And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

²¹ Men han svarede og sagde til dem: "Min Moder og mine Brødre ere disse, som høre Guds Ord og gøre efter det."

²¹ But He answered and said to them, “My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.”

²³ 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.

²³ But as they were sailing along He fell asleep; and a fierce gale of wind descended on the lake, and they began to be swamped and to be in danger.

²⁵ 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?"

²⁵ And He said to them, “Where is your faith?” They were fearful and amazed, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that He commands even the winds and the water, and they obey Him?”

²⁷ 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.

²⁷ And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs.

²⁹ 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.

²⁹ For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

³¹ Og de bade ham om at han ikke vilde byde dem at fare ned i Afgrunden;

³¹ They were imploring Him not to command them to go away into the abyss.

³³ Men de onde Ånder fore ud at Manden og fore i Svinene, og Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og druknede.

³³ And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

³⁵ 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.

³⁵ The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

³⁷ 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.

³⁷ And all the people of the country of the Gerasenes and the surrounding district asked Him to leave them, for they were gripped with great fear; and He got into a boat and returned.

³⁹ "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.

³⁹ “Return to your house and describe what great things God has done for you.” So he went away, proclaiming throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him.

⁴¹ 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;

⁴¹ And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus’ feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

⁴³ 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,

⁴³ And a woman who had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone,

⁴⁵ 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?"

⁴⁵ And Jesus said, “Who is the one who touched Me?” And while they were all denying it, Peter said, “Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You.”

⁴⁷ 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.

⁴⁷ When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.

⁴⁹ Medens han endnu talte, kommer der en fra Synagogeforstanderens Hus og siger til ham: "Din Datter er død; umag ikke Mesteren!"

⁴⁹ While He was still speaking, someone *came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, “Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore.”

⁵¹ 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.

⁵¹ When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl’s father and mother.

⁵³ Og de lo ad ham; thi de vidste, at hun var død.

⁵³ And they began laughing at Him, knowing that she had died.

⁵⁵ Og hendes Ånd vendte tilbage, og hun stod straks op; og han befalede, at de skulde give hende noget at spise.

⁵⁵ And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat.
