Johannes 14
1 „Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke! Tror paa Gud, og tror paa mig!
“Don't let your minds be anxious. Trust in God, trust in me as well.
2 I min Faders Hus er der mange Boliger. Dersom det ikke var saa, havde jeg sagt eder det; thi jeg gaar bort for at berede eder Sted.
In my Father's house there are many rooms. If this wasn't so I would have told you. I'm going to prepare a place for you.
3 Og naar jeg er gaaet bort og har beredt eder Sted, kommer jeg igen og tager eder til mig, for at, hvor jeg er, der skulle ogsaa I være.
Once I've gone and prepared a place for you, I will come again and take you back with me, so that you can be there with me too.
4 Og hvor jeg gaar hen, derhen vide I Vejen.‟
You know the way to where I'm going.”
5 Thomas siger til ham: „Herre! vi vide ikke, hvor du gaar hen; og hvorledes kunne vi vide Vejen?‟
Thomas said to him, “Lord, we don't know where you're going. How can we know the way?”
6 Jesus siger til ham: „Jeg er Vejen og Sandheden og Livet; der kommer ingen til Faderen uden ved mig.
Jesus replied, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
7 Havde I kendt mig, da havde I ogsaa kendt min Fader; og fra nu af kende I ham og have set ham.‟
If you had known me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and you have seen him.”
8 Filip siger til ham: „Herre! vis os Faderen, og det er os nok.‟
Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father, and we'll be convinced.”
9 Jesus siger til ham: „Saa lang en Tid har jeg været hos eder, og du kender mig ikke, Filip? Den, som har set mig, har set Faderen; hvorledes kan du da sige: Vis os Faderen?
Jesus replied, “Have I been with you such a long time, Philip, and yet you still don't know me? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Tror du ikke, at jeg er i Faderen, og Faderen er i mig? De Ord, som jeg siger til eder, taler jeg ikke af mig selv; men Faderen, som bliver i mig, han gør sine Gerninger.
Don't you believe that I live in the Father and the Father lives in me? The words I speak are not mine; it's the Father living in me who is doing his work.
11 Tror mig, at jeg er i Faderen, og Faderen er i mig; men ville I ikke, saa tror mig dog for selve Gerningernes Skyld!
Believe me when I tell you that I live in the Father, and the Father lives in me, or at least believe because of the evidence provided by all that I've done.
12 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som tror paa mig, de Gerninger, som jeg gør, skal ogsaa han gøre, og han skal gøre større Gerninger end disse; thi jeg gaar til Faderen,
I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.
13 og hvad som helst I bede om i mit Navn, det vil jeg gøre, for at Faderen maa herliggøres ved Sønnen.
I'll do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified through the Son.
14 Dersom I bede om noget i mit Navn, vil jeg gøre det.
Whatever you ask for in my name, I will do it.
15 Dersom I elske mig, da holder mine Befalinger!
If you love me, you will keep my commands.
16 Og jeg vil bede Faderen, og han skal give eder en anden Talsmand til at være hos eder evindelig, (aiōn g165)
I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, (aiōn g165)
17 den Sandhedens Aand, som Verden ikke kan modtage, thi den ser den ikke og kender den ikke; men I kende den, thi den bliver hos eder og skal være i eder.
the Spirit of truth, who will always be with you. The world cannot accept him because it isn't looking for him and does not know him. But you know him because he lives with you and will be in you.
18 Jeg vil ikke efterlade eder faderløse; jeg kommer til eder.
I will not abandon you like orphans: I will come back to you.
19 Endnu en liden Stund, og Verden ser mig ikke mere, men I se mig; thi jeg lever, og I skulle leve.
Soon the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live too.
20 Paa den Dag skulle I erkende, at jeg er i min Fader, og I i mig, og jeg i eder.
On that day you will know that I live in the Father, you live in me, and I live in you.
21 Den, som har mine Befalinger og holder dem, han er den, som elsker mig; men den, som elsker mig, skal elskes af min Fader; og jeg skal elske ham og aabenbare mig for ham.‟
Those who keep my commands are the ones who love me, those who love me will be loved by my Father. I will love them too, and will reveal myself to them.”
22 Judas (ikke Iskariot) siger til ham: „Herre! hvor kommer det, at du vil aabenbare dig for os og ikke for Verden?‟
Judas (not Iscariot) responded, “Lord, why would you reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Om nogen elsker mig, vil han holde mit Ord; og min Fader skal elske ham, og vi skulle komme til ham og tage Bolig hos ham.
Jesus replied, “Those who love me will do as I say. My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with them.
24 Den, som ikke elsker mig, holder ikke mine Ord; og det Ord, som I høre, er ikke mit, men Faderens, som sendte mig.
Those who don't love me don't do what I say. These words don't come from me, they come from the Father who sent me.
25 Dette har jeg talt til eder, medens jeg blev hos eder.
I'm explaining this to you while I'm still here with you.
26 Men Talsmanden, den Helligaand, som Faderen vil sende i mit Navn, han skal lære eder alle Ting og minde eder om alle Ting, som jeg har sagt eder.
But when the Father sends the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, in my place, he will teach you everything and remind you of all that I told you.
27 Fred efterlader jeg eder, min Fred giver jeg eder; jeg giver eder ikke, som Verden giver. Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke og forsage ikke!
Peace I leave you; my peace I'm giving you. The peace I give you is nothing like what the world gives. Don't let your minds be anxious, and don't be afraid.
28 I have hørt, at jeg sagde til eder: Jeg gaar bort og kommer til eder igen. Dersom I elskede mig, da glædede I eder over, at jeg gaar til Faderen; thi Faderen er større end jeg.
You've heard me tell you, ‘I am going away, but I will come back to you.’ If you really loved me, you would be happy because I'm going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.
29 Og nu har jeg sagt eder det, før det sker, for at I skulle tro, naar det er sket.
I've explained this to you now before it happens so that when it does happen you will be convinced.
30 Jeg skal herefter ikke tale meget med eder; thi denne Verdens Fyrste kommer, og han har slet intet i mig;
I can't talk to you much longer, for the prince of this world is coming. He has no power to control me,
31 men for at Verden skal kende, at jeg elsker Faderen og gør saaledes, som Faderen har befalet mig: saa staar nu op, lader os gaa herfra!‟
but I'm doing what my Father told me to do so that the world will know that I love the Father. Now get up. Let's go.”
