1. Det jeg aldrig fortrød
Things I never regret
Citykirken 8. april 2018

3. Mattæus 25; 14 – 30
Det er som med en mand, der skulle rejse til udlandet og kaldte sine tjenere til sig og betroede dem
sin formue; én gav han fem talenter, en anden to og en tredje én, enhver efter hans evne; så rejste
han. Den, der havde fået de fem talenter, gik straks hen og handlede med dem og tjente fem til.
Ligeledes tjente han med de to talenter to til.
Matthew 25; 14 - 20
Again, it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted his wealth to
them. To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag, each according
to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once
and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained
two more.

4. Men den, der havde fået én talent, gik hen og gravede et hul i jorden og gemte sin herres penge. Lang
tid efter kommer disse tjeneres herre tilbage og gør regnskab med dem.
But the man who had received one bag went off, dug a hole in the ground and hid his master’s
money. After a long time the master of those servants returned and settled accounts with them.

5. Den, der havde fået de fem talenter, kom og lagde andre fem talenter på bordet og sagde: Herre, du
betroede mig fem talenter; se, jeg har tjent fem talenter til. Hans herre sagde til ham: Godt, du gode og
tro tjener; du har været tro i det små, jeg vil betro dig meget. Gå ind til din herres glæde!
The man who had received five bags of gold brought the other five. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me
with five bags of gold. See, I have gained five more.’ “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful
servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and
share your master’s happiness!’

6. Også han med de to talenter kom og sagde: Herre, du betroede mig to talenter; se, jeg har tjent to
talenter til. Hans herre sagde til ham: Godt, du gode og tro tjener; du har været tro i det små, jeg vil betro
dig meget. Gå ind til din herres glæde!
“The man with two bags of gold also came. ‘Master,’ he said, ‘you entrusted me with two bags of gold;
see, I have gained two more.’ “His master replied, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been
faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s
happiness!’

7. Så kom også han, som havde fået den ene talent, og han sagde: Herre, jeg kender dig som en hård
mand, der høster, hvor du ikke har sået, og samler, hvor du ikke har spredt, og af frygt for dig gik jeg
hen og gemte din talent i jorden. Se, her har du, hvad dit er. Men hans herre sagde til ham: Du dårlige og
dovne tjener!
“Then the man who had received one bag of gold came. ‘Master,’ he said,
‘I knew that you are a hard man, harvesting where you have not sown and gathering where you have not
scattered seed. So I was afraid and went out and hid your gold in the ground. See, here is what belongs
to you.’ “His master replied, ‘You wicked, lazy servant!

8. Du vidste, at jeg høster, hvor jeg ikke har sået, og samler, hvor jeg ikke har spredt. Så burde du have
betroet mine penge til vekselererne, så jeg havde fået mit igen med rente, når jeg kom tilbage. Tag derfor
talenten fra ham og giv den til ham med de ti talenter.
So you knew that I harvest where I have not sown and gather where I have not scattered seed? Well then,
you should have put my money on deposit with the bankers, so that when I returned I would have
received
it back with interest.“ ‘So take the bag of gold from him and give it to the one who has ten bags.

9. For enhver, som har, til ham skal der gives, og han skal have overflod, men den, der ikke har, fra ham
skal selv det tages, som han har.
Og kast den uduelige tjener ud i mørket udenfor.
Dér skal der være gråd og tænderskæren.
For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even
what they have will be taken from them. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness,
where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
