Matthæus 11

¹ Og det skete, da Jesus var færdig med at give sine tolv Disciple Befaling, gik han videre derfra for at lære og prædike i deres Byer.

¹ When Jesus had finished giving instructions to His twelve disciples, He departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

³ "Er du den, som kommer, eller skulle vi vente en anden?"

³ and said to Him, “Are You the Expected One, or shall we look for someone else?”

⁵ blinde se, og lamme gå, spedalske renses, og døve høre, og døde stå op, og Evangeliet forkyndes for fattige;

⁵ the blind receive sight and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

⁷ Men da disse gik bort, begyndte Jesus at sige til Skarerne om Johannes: "Hvad gik I ud i Ørkenen at skue? Et Rør, som bevæges hid og did af Vinden?

⁷ As these men were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

⁹ Eller hvad gik I ud at se? En Profet? Ja, siger jeg eder, endog mere end en Profet.

⁹ But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and one who is more than a prophet.

¹¹ Sandelig, siger jeg eder, iblandt dem, som ere fødte af Kvinder, er ingen større fremstået end Johannes Døberen; men den mindste i Himmeriges Rige er større end han.

¹¹ Truly I say to you, among those born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptist! Yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

¹³ Thi alle Profeterne og Loven have profeteret indtil Johannes.

¹³ For all the prophets and the Law prophesied until John.

¹⁵ Den, som har Øren at høre med, han høre!

¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

¹⁷ Vi blæste på Fløjte for eder, og I dansede ikke; vi sang Klagesange, og I jamrede ikke.

¹⁷ and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’

¹⁹ Menneskesønnen kom, som spiser og drikker, og de sige: Se, en Frådser og en Vindranker, Tolderes og Synderes Ven! Dog, Visdommen er retfærdiggjort ved sine Børn."

¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”

²¹ "Ve dig, Korazin! ve dig, Bethsajda! thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i eder, vare skete i Tyrus og Sidon, da havde de for længe siden omvendt sig i Sæk og Aske.

²¹ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had occurred in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

²³ Og du, Kapernaum! som er bleven ophøjet indtil Himmelen, du skal nedstødes indtil Dødsriget; thi dersom de kraftige Gerninger, som ere skete i dig, vare skete i Sodoma, da var den bleven stående indtil denne Dag.

²³ And you, Capernaum, will not be exalted to heaven, will you? You will descend to Hades; for if the miracles had occurred in Sodom which occurred in you, it would have remained to this day.

²⁵ På den Tid udbrød Jesus og sagde: "Jeg priser dig, Fader, Himmelens og Jordens Herre! fordi du har skjult dette for vise og forstandige og åbenbaret det for umyndige.

²⁵ At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.

²⁷ Alle Ting ere mig overgivne af min Fader; og ingen kender Sønnen uden Faderen, og ingen kender Faderen uden Sønnen, og den, for hvem Sønnen vil åbenbare ham.

²⁷ All things have been handed over to Me by My Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him.

²⁹ Tager mit Åg på eder, og lærer af mig; thi jeg er sagtmodig og ydmyg af Hjertet; så skulle I finde Hvile for eders Sjæle.

²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
