Johannes 14
1 „Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke! Tror paa Gud, og tror paa mig!
Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me.
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 Home there are many dwellings. If it had not been so, I should have told you, for I am 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.
And, since I go and prepare a place for you, I shall return and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am;
4 Og hvor jeg gaar hen, derhen vide I Vejen.‟
and you know the way to the place where I am going.”
5 Thomas siger til ham: „Herre! vi vide ikke, hvor du gaar hen; og hvorledes kunne vi vide Vejen?‟
“We do not know where you are going, Master,” said Thomas; “so 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 answered: “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life; no one ever 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 recognised me, you would have known my Father also; for the future you will recognise him, indeed you have already seen him.”
8 Filip siger til ham: „Herre! vis os Faderen, og det er os nok.‟
“Master, show us the Father,” said Philip, “and we shall be satisfied.”
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?
“Have I been all this time among you,” said Jesus, “and yet you, Philip, have not recognised me? He who has seen me has seen the Father, how can you say, then, ‘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.
Do not you believe that I am in union with the Father, and the Father with me? In giving you my teaching I am not speaking on my own authority; but the Father himself, always in union with me, does his own 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,” he said to them all, “when I say that I am in union with the Father and the Father with me, or else believe me on account of the work itself.
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,
In truth I tell you, he who believes in me will himself do the work that I am doing; and he will do greater work still, 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.
Whatever you ask, in my Name, I will do, that the Father may be honoured in the Son.
14 Dersom I bede om noget i mit Navn, vil jeg gøre det.
If you ask anything, in my Name, I will do it.
15 Dersom I elske mig, da holder mine Befalinger!
If you love me, you will lay my commands to heart,
16 Og jeg vil bede Faderen, og han skal give eder en anden Talsmand til at være hos eder evindelig, (aiōn g165)
and I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you always — the Spirit of Truth. (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 world cannot receive this Spirit, because it does not see him or recognise him, but you recognise him, because he is always with you, and is within you.
18 Jeg vil ikke efterlade eder faderløse; jeg kommer til eder.
I will not leave you bereaved; I will come to you.
19 Endnu en liden Stund, og Verden ser mig ikke mere, men I se mig; thi jeg lever, og I skulle leve.
In a little while the world will see me no more, but you will still see me; because I am living, you will be living also.
20 Paa den Dag skulle I erkende, at jeg er i min Fader, og I i mig, og jeg i eder.
At that time you will recognise that I am in union with the Father, and you with me, and I with 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.‟
It is he who has my commands and lays them to heart that loves me; and he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas (ikke Iskariot) siger til ham: „Herre! hvor kommer det, at du vil aabenbare dig for os og ikke for Verden?‟
“What has happened, Master,” said Judas (not Judas Iscariot), “that you are going to 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.
“Whoever loves me,” Jesus answered, “will lay my Message to heart; and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our dwelling with him.
24 Den, som ikke elsker mig, holder ikke mine Ord; og det Ord, som I høre, er ikke mit, men Faderens, som sendte mig.
He who does not love me will not lay my Message to heart; and the Message to which you are listening is not my own, but that of the Father who sent me.
25 Dette har jeg talt til eder, medens jeg blev hos eder.
I have told you all this while still 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 the Helper — the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my Name — he will teach you all things, and will recall to your minds all that I have said to 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 be with you! My own peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, or dismayed.
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 heard me say that I was going away and would return to you. Had you loved me, you would have been glad that I was going to the Father, because 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.
And this I have told you now before it happens, that, when it does happen, you may still believe in me.
30 Jeg skal herefter ikke tale meget med eder; thi denne Verdens Fyrste kommer, og han har slet intet i mig;
I shall not talk with you much more, for the Spirit that is ruling the world is coming. He has nothing in common with 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 he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.
