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.
This one 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 without him there was not one thing made that has been made.
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 did not overcome it.
6 Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
There was a man who was 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, that all might believe through him.
8 Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
John was not the light, but came that he might 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 all men, 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, and the world did not know him.
11 Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
He came to his own, and his own 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 as many as received 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.
These were not born 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 lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only 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, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
16 Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
For from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
17 Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
For the law was given through Moses. 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 seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he 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 is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him 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 are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you 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?”
Then 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 a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
24 Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
25 og de spurgte ham og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor døber du da, dersom du ikke er Kristus, ej heller Elias, ej heller Profeten?”
and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then 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 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, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
28 Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
These things were done in Bethany on the other side of 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 saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is 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 the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was 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 did not know him, but it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that 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.
John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed 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 did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing in the Holy Spirit.'
34 Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.”
I have both 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, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
36 Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!”
they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
37 Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
38 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “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 said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for 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 speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
41 Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
42 Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias” (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated 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).
The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and 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 found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
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.”
Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of 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!”
Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom 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.”
Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when 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.”
Nathaniel replied, “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 replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
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, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
