Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Paaske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Jesus therefore, six days before the pasch, came to Bethania, where Lazarus had been dead, whom Jesus raised to life.
2 Der gjorde de da et Aftensmaaltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
And they made him a supper there: and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that were at table with him.
3 Da tog Maria et Pund af ægte, saare kostbar Nardussalve og salvede Jesu Fødder og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Haar; og Huset blev fuldt af Salvens Duft.
Mary therefore took a pound of ointment of right spikenard, of great price, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forraadte ham:
Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, he that was about to betray him, said:
5 „Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?”
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
6 Men dette sagde han, ikke fordi han brød sig om de fattige, men fordi han var en Tyv og havde Pungen og bar, hvad der blev lagt deri.
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and having the purse, carried the things that were put therein.
7 Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
Jesus therefore said: Let her alone, that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.”
For the poor you have always with you; but me you have not always.
9 En stor Skare af Jøderne fik nu at vide, at han var der; og de kom ikke for Jesu Skyld alene, men ogsaa for at se Lazarus, hvem han havde oprejst fra de døde.
A great multitude therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they might see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
But the chief priests thought to kill Lazarus also:
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede paa Jesus.
Because many of the Jews, by reason of him, went away, and believed in Jesus.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
And on the next day, a great multitude that was to come to the festival day, when they had heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og raabte: „Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!”
Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried: Hosanna, blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel.
14 Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpaa, som der er skrevet:
And Jesus found a young ass, and sat upon it, as it is written:
15 „Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.”
Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy king cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
16 Dette forstode hans Disciple ikke først; men da Jesus var herliggjort, da kom de i Hu, at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de havde gjort dette for ham.
These things his disciples did not know at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
The multitude therefore gave testimony, which was with him, when he called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead.
18 Det var ogsaa derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
For which reason also the people came to meet him, because they heard that he had done this miracle.
19 Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.”
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves: Do you see that we prevail nothing? behold, the whole world is gone after him.
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gaa op for at tilbede paa Højtiden.
Now there were certain Gentiles among them, who came up to adore on the festival day.
21 Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: „Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus.”
These therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and desired him, saying: Sir, we would see Jesus.
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew. Again Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
But Jesus answered them, saying: The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.
Amen, amen I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, itself remaineth alone. But if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
25 Den, som elsker sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som hader sit Liv i denne Verden, skal bevare det til et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, keepeth it unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal ogsaa min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.
If any man minister to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall my minister be. If any man minister to me, him will my Father honour.
27 Nu er min Sjæl forfærdet; og hvad skal jeg sige? Fader, frels mig fra denne Time? Dog, derfor er jeg kommen til denne Time.
Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause I came unto this hour.
28 Fader, herliggør dit Navn!” Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: „Baade har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det.”
Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came from heaven: I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: „En Engel har talt til ham.”
The multitude therefore that stood and heard, said that it thundered. Others said: An angel spoke to him.
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: „Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered, and said: This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
31 Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgment of the world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 og jeg skal, naar jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig.”
And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all things to myself.
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
(Now this he said, signifying what death he should die.)
34 Skaren svarede ham: „Vi have hørt af Loven, at Kristus bliver evindelig, og hvorledes siger da du, at Menneskesønnen bør ophøjes? Hvem er denne Menneskesøn?” (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him: We have heard out of the law, that Christ abideth for ever; and how sayest thou: The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Da sagde Jesus til dem: „Endnu en liden Tid er Lyset hos eder. Vandrer, medens I have Lyset, for at Mørke ikke skal overfalde eder! Og den, som vandrer i Mørket, ved ikke, hvor han gaar hen.
Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while, the light is among you. Walk whilst you have the light, that the darkness overtake you not. And he that walketh in darkness, knoweth not whither he goeth.
36 Medens I have Lyset, tror paa Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!” Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.
Whilst you have the light, believe in the light, that you may be the children of light. These things Jesus spoke; and he went away, and hid himself from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
And whereas he had done so many miracles before them, they believed not in him:
38 for at Profeten Esajas's Ord skulde opfyldes, som han har sagt: „Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os, og for hvem blev Herrens Arm aabenbaret?”
That the saying of Isaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said: Lord, who hath believed our hearing? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
Therefore they could not believe, because Isaias said again:
40 „Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.”
He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
These things said Isaias, when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Alligevel var der dog mange, endogsaa af Raadsherrerne, som troede paa ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;
However, many of the chief men also believed in him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, that they might not be cast out of the synagogue.
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
44 Men Jesus raabte og sagde: „Den, som tror paa mig, tror ikke paa mig, men paa ham, som sendte mig,
But Jesus cried, and said: He that believeth in me, doth not believe in me, but in him that sent me.
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
And he that seeth me, seeth him that sent me.
46 Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror paa mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
I am come a light into the world; that whosoever believeth in me, may not remain in darkness.
47 Og om nogen hører mine Ord og ikke vogter paa dem, ham dømmer ikke jeg; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at dømme Verden, men for at frelse Verden.
And if any man hear my words, and keep them not, I do not judge him: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Den, som foragter mig og ikke modtager mine Ord, har den, som dømmer ham; det Ord, som jeg har talt, det skal dømme ham paa den yderste Dag.
He that despiseth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 Thi jeg har ikke talt af mig selv; men Faderen, som sendte mig, han har givet mig Befaling om, hvad jeg skal sige, og hvad jeg skal tale.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment what I should say, and what I should speak.
