Matthæus 17
1 Og seks Dage derefter tager Jesus Peter og Jakob og hans Broder Johannes med sig og fører dem afsides op paa et højt Bjerg.
Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter, and the brothers James and John, and led them up a high mountain alone.
2 Og han blev forvandlet for deres Øjne, og hans Aasyn skinnede som Solen, men hans Klæder bleve hvide som Lyset.
There his appearance was transformed before their eyes; his face shown like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light.
3 Og se, Moses og Elias viste sig for dem og samtalede med ham.
All at once Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Jesus.
4 Da tog Peter til Orde og sagde til Jesus: „Herre! det er godt, at vi ere her; vil du, da lader os gøre tre Hytter her, dig en og Moses en og Elias en.‟
“Master,” exclaimed Peter, interposing, “it is good to be here; if you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.”
5 Medens han endnu talte, se, da overskyggede en lysende Sky dem; og se, der kom fra Skyen en Røst, som sagde: „Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag; hører ham!‟
While he was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them, and there was a voice from the cloud that said – “This is my dearly loved son, who brings me great joy; listen to him.”
6 Og da Disciplene hørte det, faldt de paa deres Ansigt og frygtede saare.
The disciples, on hearing this, fell on their faces, greatly afraid.
7 Og Jesus traadte hen og rørte ved dem og sagde: „Staar op, og frygter ikke!‟
But Jesus came and touched them, saying as he did so, “Rise up, and do not be afraid.”
8 Men da de opløftede deres Øjne, saa de ingen uden Jesus alene.
When they raised their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus himself alone.
9 Og da de gik ned fra Bjerget, bød Jesus dem og sagde: „Taler ikke til nogen om dette Syn, førend Menneskesønnen er oprejst fra de døde.‟
As they were going down the mountain side, Jesus gave them this warning – “Do not speak of this vision to anyone, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”
10 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Hvad er det da, de skriftkloge sige, at Elias bør først komme?‟
“How is it,” his disciples asked, “that our teachers of the Law say that Elijah has to come first?”
11 Og han svarede og sagde: „Vel kommer Elias og skal genoprette alting.
“Elijah indeed does come,” Jesus replied, “and will restore everything;
12 Men jeg siger eder, at Elias er allerede kommen, og de erkendte ham ikke, men gjorde med ham alt, hvad de vilde; saaledes skal ogsaa Menneskesønnen lide ondt af dem.‟
and I tell you that Elijah has already come, and people have not recognized him, but have treated him just as they pleased. In the same way, too, the Son of Man is destined to undergo suffering at people’s hands.”
13 Da forstode Disciplene, at han havde talt til dem om Johannes Døberen.
Then the disciples understood that he had spoken to them about John the Baptist.
14 Og da de kom til Folkeskaren, kom en Mand til ham og faldt paa Knæ for ham og sagde:
When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, and, kneeling down before him, said,
15 „Herre! forbarm dig over min Søn, thi han er maanesyg og lidende; thi han falder ofte i Ild og ofte i Vand;
“Master, take pity on my son, for he is epileptic and suffers terribly; indeed, he often falls into the fire and into the water;
16 og jeg bragte ham til dine Disciple, og de kunde ikke helbrede ham.‟
I brought him to your disciples, but they could not cure him.”
17 Og Jesus svarede og sagde: „O du vantro og forvendte Slægt! hvor længe skal jeg være hos eder, hvor længe skal jeg taale eder? Bringer mig ham hid!‟
“Faithless and perverse generation!” Jesus exclaimed, “how long must I be among you? How long must I have patience with you? Bring the boy here to me.”
18 Og Jesus talte ham haardt til, og den onde Aand for ud af ham, og Drengen blev helbredet fra samme Time.
Then Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy; and he was cured from that very hour.
19 Da gik Disciplene til Jesus afsides og sagde: „Hvorfor kunde vi ikke uddrive den?‟
Afterward the disciples came up to Jesus, and asked him privately, “Why was it that we could not drive it out?”
20 Og han siger til dem: „For eders Vantros Skyld; thi sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom I have Tro som et Sennepskorn, da kunne I sige til dette Bjerg: Flyt dig herfra derhen, saa skal det flytte sig; og intet skal være eder umuligt.
“Because you have so little faith!” he answered, “For, I tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain ‘Move from this place to that!’ and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible to you.”
21 Men denne Slags farer ikke ud uden ved Bøn og Faste.‟
22 Og medens de vandrede sammen i Galilæa, sagde Jesus til dem: „Menneskesønnen skal overgives i Menneskers Hænder;
While Jesus and his disciples were together in Galilee, he said to them, “The Son of Man is destined to be betrayed into human hands,
23 og de skulle slaa ham ihjel, og paa den tredje Dag skal han oprejses.‟ Og de bleve saare bedrøvede.
and they will put him to death, but on the third day he will rise.” The disciples were greatly distressed.
24 Men da de kom til Kapernaum, kom de, som opkrævede Tempelskatten, til Peter og sagde: „Betaler eders Mester ikke Skatten?‟
After they had reached Capernaum, the collectors of the Temple taz came up to Peter, and said, “Does not your Master pay the Temple tax?”
25 Han sagde: „Jo.‟ Og da han kom ind i Huset, kom Jesus ham i Forkøbet og sagde: „Hvad tykkes dig, Simon? Af hvem tage Jordens Konger Told eller Skat, af deres egne Sønner eller af de fremmede?‟
“Yes,” answered Peter. But, on going into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings take taxes or tribute? From their sons, or from others?”
26 Og da han sagde: „Af de fremmede, ‟ sagde Jesus til ham: „Saa ere jo Sønnerne frie.
“From others,” answered Peter. “Well then,” continued Jesus, “their sons go free.
27 Men for at vi ikke skulle forarge dem, saa gaa hen til Søen, kast en Krog ud, og tag den første Fisk, som kommer op; og naar du aabner dens Mund, skal du finde en Stater; tag denne, og giv dem den for mig og dig!‟
Still, so we don’t offend them, go and throw a line into the sea; take the first fish that rises, open its mouth, and you will find in it a piece of money. Take that, and give it to the collectors for both of us.”
