Johannes 16

1 „Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I ikke skulle forarges.

These things, have I spoken unto you, that ye may not be caused to stumble:

2 De skulle udelukke eder af Synagogerne, ja, den Tid skal komme, at hver den, som slaar eder ihjel, skal mene, at han viser Gud en Dyrkelse.

Excommunicants from the synagogue, will they make you; Nay! there cometh an hour, that, every one who killeth you, shall think to be rendering, divine service, unto God!

3 Og dette skulle de gøre, fordi de hverken kende Faderen eller mig.

And, these things, will they do, because they got to know, neither the Father nor me.

4 Men dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I, naar Timen kommer, skulle komme i Hu, at jeg har sagt eder det; men dette sagde jeg eder ikke fra Begyndelsen, fordi jeg var hos eder.

But, these things, have I told you, —That, whensoever their hour shall come, ye may remember, that, thereof, I told you. These things, however, I told you not, from the beginning, because I was, with you;

5 Men nu gaar jeg hen til ham, som sendte mig, og ingen af eder spørger mig: Hvor gaar du hen?

But, now, I go my way unto him that sent me, and, not one from among you, questioneth me—Whither goest thou?

6 Men fordi jeg har talt dette til eder, har Bedrøvelsen opfyldt eders Hjerte.

But, because, these things, I have told you, sorrow, hath filled your heart.

7 Men jeg siger eder Sandheden: Det er eder gavnligt, at jeg gaar bort, thi gaar jeg ikke bort, kommer Talsmanden ikke til eder; men gaar jeg bort, saa vil jeg sende ham til eder.

But, I, the truth, am telling you—It is profitable for you, that, I, depart; for, if I should not depart, The Advocate, would in nowise come unto you, but, if I go, I will send him unto you.

8 Og naar han kommer, skal han overbevise Verden om Synd og om Retfærdighed og om Dom.

And, having come, He, will reprove the world—Concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment:

9 Om Synd, fordi de ikke tro paa mig;

Concerning sin, indeed, because they are not believing on me;

10 men om Retfærdighed, fordi jeg gaar til min Fader, og I se mig ikke længere;

But, concerning righteousness, because, unto the Father, I go my way, and, no longer, do ye behold me;

11 men om Dom, fordi denne Verdens Fyrste er dømt.

And, concerning judgment, because, the ruler of this world, hath been judged.

12 Jeg har endnu meget at sige eder; men I kunne ikke bære det nu.

Yet many things, have I, unto you, to be saying, —but ye cannot bear them, just now;

13 Men naar han, Sandhedens Aand, kommer, skal han vejlede eder til hele Sandheden; thi han skal ikke tale af sig selv, men hvad som helst han hører, skal han tale, og de kommende Ting skal han forkynde eder.

Howbeit, as soon as, he, hath come—The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak from himself, but, whatsoever he heareth, he will speak, and, the coming things, will he announce unto you.

14 Han skal herliggøre mig; thi han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.

He, shall glorify me; for, of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

15 Alt, hvad Faderen har, er mit; derfor sagde jeg, at han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.

All things, whatsoever the Father hath, are, my own; therefore, said I—Of mine, shall he receive, and announce unto you.

16 Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig længer, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig.”

A little while, and, no longer, ye behold me; and, again a little while, and ye shall see me.

17 Da sagde nogle af hans Disciple til hverandre: „Hvad er dette, som han siger os: Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig, og: Jeg gaar hen til Faderen?”

Some of his disciples, therefore, said one to another—What is this which he is saying to us: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again a little while, and ye shall see me; and—Because I go my way unto the Father?

18 De sagde altsaa: „Hvad er dette, han siger: Om en liden Stund? Vi forstaa ikke, hvad han taler.”

They were saying, therefore—What is this which he saith: —A little while? We know not [what he is saying].

19 Jesus vidste, at de vilde spørge ham, og han sagde til dem: „I spørge hverandre om dette, at jeg sagde: Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig.

Jesus took note, that they were wishing to question him, and said unto them—Concerning this, are ye enquiring one with another, —because I said: —A little while, and ye behold me not, and, again, a little while, and ye shall see me?

20 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle græde og jamre, men Verden skal glæde sig; I skulle være bedrøvede, men eders Bedrøvelse skal blive til Glæde.

Verily, verily, I say unto you—Ye, shall weep and lament, but, the world, shall rejoice: Ye, shall be grieved, but, your grief, into joy, shall be turned.

21 Naar Kvinden føder, har hun Bedrøvelse, fordi hendes Time er kommen; men naar hun har født Barnet, kommer hun ikke mere sin Trængsel i Hu af Glæde over, at et Menneske er født til Verden.

A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.

22 Ogsaa I have da vel nu Bedrøvelse, men jeg skal se eder igen, og eders Hjerte skal glædes, og ingen tager eders Glæde fra eder.

And, ye, therefore, now, indeed have grief; but, again, will I see you, and your heart shall rejoice, —and, your joy, no one, shall force from you.

23 Og paa den Dag skulle I ikke spørge mig om noget. Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvad som helst I bede Faderen om, skal han give eder i mit Navn.

And, in that day, shall ye request me, nothing: —Verily, verily, I say unto you—Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father, He will give you, in my name.

24 Hidindtil have I ikke bedet om noget i mit Navn; beder, og I skulle faa, for at eders Glæde maa blive fuldkommen.

Until even now, ye have asked nothing in my name: Be asking, and ye shall receive, —that, your joy, may be made full.

25 Dette har jeg talt til eder i Lignelser; der kommer en Time, da jeg ikke mere skal tale til eder i Lignelser, men frit ud forkynde eder om Faderen.

These things, in similitudes, have I spoken unto you: There cometh an hour, when, no longer in similitudes, will I speak unto you, but, openly, concerning the Father, will I tell you.

26 Paa den Dag skulle I bede i mit Navn, og jeg siger ikke til eder, at jeg vil bede Faderen for eder;

In that day, In my name, shall ye ask: —and I say not that, I, will request the Father for you;

27 thi Faderen selv elsker eder, fordi I have elsket mig og troet, at jeg er udgaaet fra Gud.

For, the Father himself, dearly loveth you, because, ye, have dearly loved me, and believed that, I, from the Father, came forth: —

28 Jeg udgik fra Faderen og er kommen til Verden; jeg forlader Verden igen og gaar til Faderen.”

I came forth out of the Father, and have come into the world, —Again, I leave the world, and go, unto the Father.

29 Hans Disciple sige til ham: „Se, nu taler du frit ud og siger ingen Lignelse.

His disciples say—See! now, openly, art thou speaking, and, not a single similitude, art thou using:

30 Nu vide vi, at du ved alle Ting og ikke har nødig, at nogen spørger dig; desaarsag tro vi, at du er udgaaet fra Gud.”

Now, we know, that thou knowest all things, and hast, no need, that one be questioning thee. Hereby, do we believe, that, from God, thou camest forth.

31 Jesus svarede dem: „Nu tro I!

Jesus answered them—As yet, ye believe:

32 Se, den Time kommer, og den er kommen, da I skulle adspredes hver til sit og lade mig alene; dog, jeg er ikke alene, thi Faderen er med mig.

Lo! there cometh an hour, and hath come, that ye should be scattered, each, unto his own home; and, me, alone, should leave; —And yet I am not, alone, but, the Father, is, with me!

33 Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I skulle have Fred i mig. I Verden have I Trængsel; men værer frimodige, jeg har overvundet Verden.”

These things, have I spoken unto you, that, in me, ye may have, peace: In the world, ye have, tribulation; but be taking courage, —I, have overcome the world.
