Matthew 8 (DA31)

1Men da han var gået ned ad Bjerget, fulgte store Skarer ham.When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

2Og se, en spedalsk kom, faldt ned for ham og sagde: “Herre! om du vil, så kan du rense mig.”Suddenly a leper came and knelt before Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

3Og han udrakte Hånden, rørte ved ham og sagde: “Jeg vil; bliv ren!” Og straks blev han renset for sin Spedalskhed.Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” He said. “Be clean!” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

4Og Jesus siger til ham: “Se til, at du ikke siger det til nogen; men gå hen, fremstil dig selv for Præsten, og offer den Gave, som Moses har befalet, til Vidnesbyrd for dem.”Then Jesus instructed him, “See that you don’t tell anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the gift prescribed by Moses, as a testimony to them.”

5Men da han gik ind i Kapernaum, trådte en Høvedsmand hen til ham, bad ham og sagde:When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came and pleaded with Him,

6“Herre! min Dreng ligger hjemme værkbruden og, pines svarlig.”“Lord, my servant lies at home, paralyzed and in terrible agony.”

7Jesus siger til ham: “Jeg vil komme og helbrede ham.”“I will go and heal him,” Jesus replied.

8Og Høvedsmanden svarede og sagde: “Herre! jeg er ikke værdig til, at du skal gå ind under mit Tag; men sig det blot med et Ord, så bliver min Dreng helbredt.The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

9Jeg er jo selv et Menneske, som står under Øvrighed og har Stridsmænd under mig; og siger jeg til den ene: Gå! så går han; og til den anden: Kom! så kommer han; og til min Tjener: Gør dette! så gør han det.”For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell one to go, and he goes, and another to come, and he comes. I tell my servant to do something, and he does it.”

10Men da Jesus hørte det, forundrede han sig og sagde til dem, som fulgte ham: “Sandelig, siger jeg eder, end ikke i Israel har jeg fundet så stor en Tro.When Jesus heard this, He marveled and said to those following Him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

11Men jeg siger eder, at mange skulle komme fra Øster og Vester og sidde til Bords med Abraham og Isak og Jakob i Himmeriges Rige.I say to you that many will come from the east and the west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.

12Men Rigets Børn skulle kastes ud i Mørket udenfor; der skal der være Gråd og Tænders Gnidsel.”But the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”

13Og Jesus sagde til Høvedsmanden: “Gå bort, dig ske, som du troede!” Og Drengen blev helbredt i den samme Time.Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! As you have believed, so will it be done for you.” And his servant was healed at that very hour.

14Og Jesus kom ind i Peters Hus og så, at hans Svigermoder lå og havde Feber.When Jesus arrived at Peter’s house, He saw Peter’s mother-in-law sick in bed with a fever.

15Og han rørte ved hendes Hånd, og Feberen forlod hende, og hun stod op og vartede ham op.So He touched her hand, and the fever left her, and she got up and began to serve Him.

16Men da det var blevet Aften, førte de mange besatte til ham, og han uddrev Ånderne med et Ord og helbredte alle de syge;When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to Jesus, and He drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.

17for at det skulde opfyldes, som er talt ved Profeten Esajas, der siger: “Han tog vore Skrøbeligheder og bar vore Sygdomme.”This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.”

18Men da Jesus så store Skarer omkring sig, befalede han at fare over til hin Side.When Jesus saw a large crowd around Him, He gave orders to cross to the other side of the sea.

19Og der kom én, en skriftklog, og sagde til ham: “Mester! jeg vil følge dig, hvor du end går hen.”And one of the scribes came to Him and said, “Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go.”

20Og Jesus siger til ham: “Ræve have Huler, og Himmelens Fugle Reder; men Menneskesønnen har ikke det, hvortil han kan hælde sit Hoved.”Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay His head.”

21Men en anden af disciplene sagde til ham: “Herre! tilsted mig først at gå hen og begrave min Fader.”Another of His disciples requested, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”

22Men Jesus siger til ham: “Følg mig, og lad de døde begrave deres døde!”But Jesus told him, “Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead.”

23Og da han gik om Bord i Skibet, fulgte hans Disciple ham.When He got into the boat, His disciples followed Him.

24Og se, det blev en stærk Storm på Søen, så at Skibet skjultes af Bølgerne; men han sov.Suddenly a violent storm came up on the sea, so that the boat was engulfed by the waves. But Jesus was sleeping.

25Og de gik hen til ham, vækkede ham og sagde: “Herre, frels os! vi forgå.”The disciples went and woke Him, saying, “Lord, save us! We are perishing!”

26Og han siger til dem: “Hvorfor ere I bange, I lidettroende?” Da stod han op og truede Vindene og Søen, og det blev ganske blikstille.“You of little faith,” Jesus replied, “why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it was perfectly calm.

27Men Menneskene forundrede sig og sagde: “Hvem er dog denne, siden både Vindene og Søen ere ham lydige?”The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

28Og da han kom over til hin Side til Gadarenernes Land, mødte ham to besatte, som kom ud fra Gravene, og de vare såre vilde, så at ingen kunde komme forbi ad den Vej.When Jesus arrived on the other side in the region of the Gadarenes, He was met by two demon-possessed men coming from the tombs. They were so violent that no one could pass that way.

29Og se, de råbte og sagde: “Hvad have vi med dig at gøre, du Guds Søn? Er du kommen hid før Tiden for at pine os?”“What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time?”

30Men der var langt fra dem en stor Hjord Svin, som græssede.In the distance a large herd of pigs was feeding.

31Og de onde Ånder bade ham og sagde: “Dersom du uddriver os, da send os i Svinehjorden!”So the demons begged Jesus, “If You drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

32Og han sagde til dem: “Går!” Men de fore ud og fore i Svinene; og se, hele Hjorden styrtede sig ned over Brinken ud i Søen og døde i Vandet.“Go!” He told them. So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and died in the waters.

33Men Hyrderne flyede og gik hen i Byen og fortalte det alt sammen, og hvorledes det var gået til med de besatte.Those tending the pigs ran off into the town and reported all this, including the account of the demon-possessed men.

34Og se, hele Byen gik ud for at møde Jesus; og da de så ham, bade de ham om; at han vilde gå bort fra deres Egn.Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw Him, they begged Him to leave their region.
