Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Paaske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was (the deceased whom He raised from the dead).
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.
So they gave a dinner for Him there—Martha was serving, while Lazarus was one of those reclining at the 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.
Then Mary, bringing a pound of pure oil of nard, very costly, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped His feet with her hair! And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forraadte ham:
Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son (who was about to betray Him), said,
5 „Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?”
“Why wasn't this oil sold for 300 denarii 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 did not say this because the poor mattered to him, but because he was a thief and had the money box; and used to pilfer what was put in it.)
7 Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
So Jesus said: “Let her be; she has performed this with a view to my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.”
For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
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.
Then a large crowd of the Jews learned that He was there; and they came, not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus as well,
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede paa Jesus.
in that because of him many of the Jews were defecting and believing into Jesus.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
The next day a large crowd that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming into 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 from palm trees and went out to meet Him. And they started shouting: “Hosanna!” “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” “King of Israel!”
14 Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpaa, som der er skrevet:
And finding a young donkey Jesus sat on it; just as it is written:
15 „Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.”
“Fear no more, daughter of Zion. Look, your King is coming, sitting on a donkey'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.
(Now His disciples did not understand these things at first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him, and they had done them to Him.)
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
So the crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
18 Det var ogsaa derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
That is also why the crowd met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.
19 Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.”
So the Pharisees said among themselves: “You can see that you are not making any difference! Just look, the world has gone off after Him!”
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gaa op for at tilbede paa Højtiden.
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
21 Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: „Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus.”
So these men approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and requested of him saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip goes and tells Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
But Jesus answered them saying: “The hour has come for the Son of the Man to 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.
Most assuredly I say to you, if a grain of wheat, having fallen into the ground, does not die, it remains alone; but if it dies it bears a lot of 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)
The one ‘loving’ his life will waste it, and the one ‘hating’ his life, in this world, will preserve it into eternal life. (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 anyone would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, my servant will be too. Further, if anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
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 my soul is distressed, and what should I say—‘Father, rescue me from this hour’? But this is why I came to 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 your name!’” Then a Voice came out of 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.”
So the crowd that was standing by and listening said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: „Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered and said: “It was not for my sake that this Voice came, but for your sakes.
31 Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be thrown out.
32 og jeg skal, naar jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig.”
While I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
(Now He said this to indicate by what kind of death He was about to 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 people answered Him: “We have heard from the Law that the Messiah remains forever; and so how can you say, ‘The Son of the Man must be lifted up’? Who is this ‘the Son of the 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.
Then Jesus said to them: “The Light will be with you just a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that darkness does not overtake you; the one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
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.
While you have the Light, believe into the Light, so that you may become sons of light.” Jesus said these things, and going away He was hidden from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
Although He had performed so many signs in their presence, they were not believing into 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?”
so that the word spoken by Isaiah the prophet should be fulfilled: “Lord, who has believed what we heard? And to whom has the arm of the Lord really been revealed?”
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
Therefore they were unable to believe, in that Isaiah 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 has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they should see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and should turn around, and I would heal them.”
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
Isaiah said these things when he saw His glory and spoke concerning 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;
Nevertheless, even among the rulers many believed into Him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess Him, so they would not be expelled from the synagogue;
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Men Jesus raabte og sagde: „Den, som tror paa mig, tror ikke paa mig, men paa ham, som sendte mig,
Jesus called out and said: “The one believing into me believes not into me but into Him who sent me.
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
And the one seeing me sees Him who 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, Light, have come into the world so that everyone who believes into me will not remain in the 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.
Also, if someone hears my words and does not believe, I do not judge him; because I did not come 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.
The one who rejects me and does not receive my sayings has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken, that is what will judge him on 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.
because I have not spoken on my own, but the Father who sent me, He gave me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
