Johannes 1
1 I Begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Dette var i Begyndelsen hos Gud.
He Himself existed in the beginning with God.
3 Alle Ting ere blevne til ved det, og uden det blev end ikke een Ting til af det, som er.
All things came to be by Him; that is, apart from Him not even one thing that has come into being came to be.
4 I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
In Him was life, and the Life was the Light of mankind.
5 Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
Now the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
6 Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
There was a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Denne kom til et Vidnesbyrd, for at han skulde vidne om Lyset, for at alle skulde tro ved ham.
This man came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.
8 Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
He himself was not the Light but was to testify about the Light—
9 Det sande Lys, der oplyser hvert Menneske, var ved at komme til Verden.
the true Light which illumines everyone who comes into the world.
10 Han var i Verden, og Verden er bleven til ved ham, og Verden kendte ham ikke.
He was in the world, the world that came into being by Him, yet the world did not know Him.
11 Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
He came to His own things, yet His own people did not receive Him.
12 Men saa mange, som toge imod ham, dem gav han Magt til at vorde Guds Børn, dem, som tro paa hans Navn;
But, as many as did receive Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe into His name:
13 hvilke ikke bleve fødte af Blod, ej heller af Køds Villie, ej heller af Mands Villie, men af Gud.
who were begotten, not by blood, nor by the desire of the flesh, nor by the will of a man, but by God.
14 Og Ordet blev Kød og tog Bolig iblandt os, og vi saa hans Herlighed, en Herlighed, som en enbaaren Søn har den fra sin Fader, fuld af Naade og Sandhed.
So the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we observed His glory, glory of an Only-begotten, from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 Johannes vidner om ham og raaber og siger: „Ham var det, om hvem jeg sagde: Den, som kommer efter mig, er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.‟
John testified about Him and called out saying: “This is He of whom I said, ‘The One coming after me is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’”
16 Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
Now we have all received from His fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
Because the Law was given through Moses; the Grace and the Truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Ingen har nogen Sinde set Gud; den enbaarne Søn, som er i Faderens Skød, han har kundgjort ham.
No one has ever seen God. The Only-begotten Son, who exists in the bosom of the Father, He has interpreted Him.
19 Og dette er Johannes's Vidnesbyrd, da Jøderne sendte Præster og Leviter ud fra Jerusalem, for at de skulde spørge ham: „Hvem er du?‟
Now this is John's testimony, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”
20 Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.‟
He confessed, he did not deny but confessed, “I am not the Christ.”
21 Og de spurgte ham: „Hvad da? Er du Elias?‟ Han siger: „Det er jeg ikke.‟ „Er du Profeten?‟ Og han svarede: „Nej.‟
So they asked him, “What then, are you Elijah?” And he says, “I am not.” “Are you ‘the Prophet’?” “No,” he answered.
22 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvem er du? For at vi kunne give dem Svar, som have udsendt os; hvad siger du om dig selv?‟
So they said to him: “Who are you?—so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”
23 Han sagde: „Jeg er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Jævner Herrens Vej, som Profeten Esajas har sagt.‟
He said, “I am ‘the voice of one calling out: “Make the Lord's road straight in the wilderness,”’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
24 Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
Now those who had been sent were from the Pharisees.
25 og de spurgte ham og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor døber du da, dersom du ikke er Kristus, ej heller Elias, ej heller Profeten?‟
So they asked him saying, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor ‘the Prophet’?”
26 Johannes svarede dem og sagde: „Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder staar den, I ikke kende,
John answered them saying: “I baptize with water, but among you stands One whom you do not know.
27 han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
He is the One coming after me who is now ahead of me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose.”
28 Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
These things happened in Bithabara, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Den næste Dag ser han Jesus komme til sig, og han siger: „Se det Guds Lam, som bærer Verdens Synd!
The next day John sees Jesus coming toward him and says: “Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!
30 Han er den, om hvem jeg sagde: Efter mig kommer en Mand, som er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.
This is He of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who is now ahead of me, because He existed before I did.’
31 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde aabenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand.‟
I did not know Him; but so that He should be revealed to Israel, that is why I came baptizing with water.”
32 Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: „Jeg har set Aanden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
And John testified saying: “I observed the Spirit coming down like a dove out of heaven, and He rested upon Him.
33 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men den, som sendte mig for at døbe med Vand, han sagde til mig: Den, som du ser Aanden dale ned over og blive over, han er den, som døber med den Helligaand.
Now I did not know Him, but He who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, ‘The One upon whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting—this is He who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.‟
So I have seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
35 Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
Again the next day John was standing with two of his disciples.
36 Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!‟
And seeing Jesus walking by, he says, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
The two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
So turning and observing them following Jesus says to them, “What do you want?” So they said to Him, “Rabbi” (which translated means ‘Teacher’), “where are You staying?”
39 „Hvad søge I efter?‟ Men de sagde til ham: „Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?‟
He says to them, “Come and see.” So they went and saw where He was staying, and stayed with Him that day—it was about the tenth hour.
40 Han siger til dem: „Kommer og ser!‟ De kom da og saa, hvor han opholdt sig, og de bleve hos ham den Dag; det var ved den tiende Time.
One of the two who heard John and followed Him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
41 Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
He first finds his own brother Simon and says to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which is translated ‘Christ’).
42 Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias‟ (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
And he led him to Jesus. Looking at him Jesus said, “You are Simon, the son of Jonah; you will be called Cephas” (which is translated ‘Stone’).
43 Og han førte ham til Jesus. Jesus saa paa ham og sagde: „Du er Simon, Johannes's Søn; du skal hedde Kefas‟ (det er udlagt: Petrus).
The next day He decided to go to Galilee, so He finds Philip and says to him, “Follow me.”
44 Den næste Dag vilde han drage derfra til Galilæa; og han finder Filip. Og Jesus siger til ham: „Følg mig!‟
(Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the hometown of Andrew and Peter.)
45 Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
Philip finds Nathanael and says to him, “We have found the One of whom Moses in the Law—and also the prophets—wrote: Jesus the son of Joseph, from Natsareth.”
46 Filip finder Nathanael og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet ham, hvem Moses i Loven og ligesaa Profeterne have skrevet om, Jesus, Josefs Søn, fra Nazareth.‟
So Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Natsareth?” Philip says to him, “Come and see!”
47 Og Nathanael sagde til ham: „Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?‟ Filip siger til ham: „Kom og se!‟
Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward Him and says about him, “There, a genuine Israelite in whom there is no deceit!”
48 Jesus saa Nathanael komme til sig, og han siger om ham: „Se, det er sandelig en Israelit, i hvem der ikke er Svig.‟
Nathanael says to Him, “From where do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, while you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
49 Nathanael siger til ham: „Hvorfra kender du mig?‟ Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Førend Filip kaldte dig, saa jeg dig, medens du var under Figentræet.‟
In answer Nathanael says to Him: “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
50 Nathanael svarede ham: „Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge.‟
Jesus answered and said to him: “You believe because I said that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater than these.”
51 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Tror du, fordi jeg sagde dig, at jeg saa dig under Figentræet? Du skal se større Ting end disse.‟ Og han siger til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle fra nu af se Himmelen aabnet og Guds Engle stige op og stige ned over Menneskesønnen.‟
And He says to him, “I tell you (pl) most assuredly, later on you will see the heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of the Man.”
