Matthæus 10

¹ Og han kaldte sine tolv Disciple til sig og gav dem Magt over urene Ånder, til at uddrive dem og at helbrede enhver Sygdom og enhver Skrøbelighed.

¹ Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

³ Filip og Bartholomæus, Thomas og Tolderen Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn, og Lebbæus med Tilnavn Thaddæus,

³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

⁵ Disse tolv udsendte Jesus, bød dem og sagde: "Går ikke hen på Hedningers Vej, og går ikke ind i Samaritaners By!

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;

⁷ Men på eders Vandring skulle I prædike og sige: Himmeriges Rige er kommet nær.

⁷ And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

⁹ Skaffer eder ikke Guld, ej heller Sølv, ej heller Kobber i eders Bælter;

⁹ Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts,

¹¹ Men hvor I komme ind i en By eller Landsby, der skulle I spørge, hvem i den der er det værd, og der skulle I blive, indtil I drage bort.

¹¹ And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave that city.

¹³ og dersom Huset er det værd, da komme eders Fred over det; men dersom det ikke er det værd, da vende eders Fred tilbage til eder!

¹³ If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

¹⁵ Sandelig, siger jeg eder, det skal gå Sodomas og Gomorras Land tåleligere på Dommens Dag end den By.

¹⁵ Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

¹⁷ Vogter eder for Menneskene; thi de skulle overgive eder til Rådsforsamlinger og hudstryge eder i deres Synagoger.

¹⁷ But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁹ Men når de overgive eder, da bekymrer eder ikke for, hvorledes eller hvad I skulle tale; thi det skal gives eder i den samme Time, hvad I skulle tale.

¹⁹ But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

²¹ Men Broder skal overgive Broder til Døden, og Fader sit Barn, og Børn skulle sætte sig op imod Forældre og slå dem ihjel.

²¹ “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

²³ Men når de forfølge eder i een By, da flyr til en anden; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle ikke komme til Ende med Israels Byer, førend Menneskesønnen kommer.

²³ “But whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.

²⁵ Det er Disciplen nok, at han bliver som sin Mester, og Tjeneren som sin Herre. Have de kaldt Husbonden Beelzebul, hvor meget mere da hans Husfolk?

²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!

²⁷ Taler i Lyset, hvad jeg siger eder i Mørket; og prædiker på Tagene, hvad der siges eder i Øret!

²⁷ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.

²⁹ Sælges ikke to Spurve for en Penning? Og ikke een af dem falder til Jorden uden eders Faders Villie.

²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.

³¹ Frygter derfor ikke; I ere mere værd end mange Spurve.

³¹ So do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

³³ Men den, som fornægter mig for Menneskene, ham vil også jeg fornægte for min Fader, som er i Himlene.

³³ But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

³⁵ Thi jeg er kommen før at volde Splid imellem en Mand og hans Fader og imellem en Datter og hendes Moder og imellem en Svigerdatter og hendes Svigermoder,

³⁵ For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

³⁷ Den, som elsker Fader eller Moder mere end mig, er mig ikke værd; og den, som elsker Søn eller Datter mere end mig, er mig ikke værd;

³⁷ “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

³⁹ Den, som bjærger sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som mister sit Liv for min Skyld, skal bjærge det.

³⁹ He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.

⁴¹ Den, som modtager en Profet, fordi han er en Profet, skal få en Profets Løn; og den, som modtager en retfærdig, fordi han er en retfærdig, skal få en retfærdigs Løn.

⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
