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 was 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 were made through him, and nothing that was made was made without him.
4 I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
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 came 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.
He 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 he came to testify about the light.
9 Det sande Lys, der oplyser hvert Menneske, var ved at komme til Verden.
The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming 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, and the world was made through him, but the world did not know him.
11 Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
He came to his own, but 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 to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,
13 hvilke ikke bleve fødte af Blod, ej heller af Køds Villie, ej heller af Mands Villie, men af Gud.
who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of 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.
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came 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 cried out, “This is he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16 Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
Of his fullness we have all received, even grace upon grace.
17 Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
For the law was given through Moses, but grace and 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, but the one and only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
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?”
This was the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are yoʋ?”
20 Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.”
He did not refuse to answer, but openly declared, “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 yoʋ Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are yoʋ the Prophet?” He answered, “No.”
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 yoʋ? Tell us so that we may give an answer to those who sent us. What do yoʋ say about yoʋrself?”
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 crying out in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord,’ 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?”
Then they asked him, “Why then do yoʋ baptize if yoʋ 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, “I baptize with water, but among you stands someone you do not know.
27 han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.”
He is the one who comes after me, who ranks ahead of me, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”
28 Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
These things took place in Bethany beyond 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!
On the next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, 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 ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.’
31 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde aabenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand.”
I myself did not know him, but I came baptizing with water so that he might be revealed to Israel.”
32 Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: „Jeg har set Aanden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
Then John testified, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained 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.
I myself did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He upon whom yoʋ see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’
34 Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.”
And I have seen it and can testify that this is the Son of God.”
35 Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
On the next day John was again standing with two of his disciples.
36 Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!”
As Jesus walked by, John looked at him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
37 Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
When the two disciples heard him say this, they followed Jesus.
38 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
Turning around, Jesus saw them following him and said to them, “What are you seeking?” They said to him, “Rabbi” (which means “Teacher”), “where are yoʋ staying?”
39 „Hvad søge I efter?” Men de sagde til ham: „Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?”
He said 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.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard this from John and followed Jesus.
41 Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
Andrew first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which means “Christ”),
42 Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias” (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
and he brought Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “Yoʋ are Simon the son of Jonah; yoʋ shall be called Cephas” (which means “Peter”).
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).
On the next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. Finding Philip, he said 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 city of Andrew and Peter.)
45 Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
Philip then found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him of whom Moses wrote in the law, and of whom the prophets also wrote—Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.”
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.”
Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
47 Og Nathanael sagde til ham: „Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?” Filip siger til ham: „Kom og se!”
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Behold, an Israelite indeed, 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 said to him, “How do yoʋ know me?” Jesus answered him, “Before Philip called yoʋ, when yoʋ were under the fig tree, I saw yoʋ.”
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.”
Nathanael answered him, “Rabbi, yoʋ are the Son of God! Yoʋ are the king of Israel!”
50 Nathanael svarede ham: „Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge.”
Jesus answered him, “Do yoʋ believe because I said to yoʋ, ‘I saw yoʋ under the fig tree’? Yoʋ will see greater things 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.”
Then he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before long you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”
