Johannes 17

1 Dette talte Jesus; og han opløftede sine Øjne til Himmelen og sagde: „Fader! Timen er kommen; herliggør din Søn, for at Sønnen maa herliggøre dig,

When Jesus had thus spoken, He raised his eyes towards Heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. Glorify Thy Son that the Son may glorify Thee;

2 ligesom du har givet ham Magt over alt Kød, for at han skal give alle dem, som du har givet ham, evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)

even as Thou hast given Him authority over all mankind, so that on all whom Thou hast given Him He may bestow the Life of the Ages. (aiōnios g166)

3 Men dette er det evige Liv, at de kende dig, den eneste sande Gud, og den, du udsendte, Jesus Kristus. (aiōnios g166)

And in this consists the Life of the Ages--in knowing Thee the only true God and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent. (aiōnios g166)

4 Jeg har herliggjort dig paa Jorden ved at fuldbyrde den Gerning, som du har givet mig at gøre.

I have glorified Thee on earth, having done perfectly the work which by Thine appointment has been mine to do.

5 Og Fader! herliggør du mig nu hos dig selv med den Herlighed, som jeg havde hos dig, før Verden var.

And now, Father, do Thou glorify me in Thine own presence, with the glory that I had in Thy presence before the world existed.

6 Jeg har aabenbaret dit Navn for de Mennesker, som du har givet mig ud af Verden; de vare dine, og du gav mig dem, og de have holdt dit Ord.

"I have revealed Thy perfections to the men whom Thou gavest me out of the world. Thine they were, and Thou gavest them to me, and they have obeyed Thy message.

7 Nu vide de, at alt det, som du har givet mig, er fra dig.

Now they know that whatever Thou hast given me is from Thee.

8 Thi de Ord, som du har givet mig, har jeg givet dem; og de have modtaget dem og erkendt i Sandhed, at jeg udgik fra dig, og de have troet, at du har udsendt mig.

For the truths which Thou didst teach me I have taught them. And they have received them, and have known for certain that I came out from Thy presence, and have believed that Thou didst send me.

9 Jeg beder for dem; jeg beder ikke for Verden, men for dem, som du har givet mig; thi de ere dine.

"I am making request for them: for the world I do not make any request, but for those whom Thou hast given me. Because they are Thine,

10 Og alt mit er dit, og dit er mit; og jeg er herliggjort i dem.

and everything that is mine is Thine, and everything that is Thine is mine; and I am crowned with glory in them.

11 Og jeg er ikke mere i Verden, men disse ere i Verden, og jeg kommer til dig. Hellige Fader! bevar dem i dit Navn, hvilket du har givet mig, for at de maa være eet ligesom vi.

I am now no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I am coming to Thee. "Holy Father, keep them true to Thy name--the name which Thou hast given me to bear--that they may be one, even as we are.

12 Da jeg var hos dem, bevarede jeg dem i dit Navn, hvilket du har givet mig, og jeg vogtede dem, og ingen af dem blev fortabt, uden Fortabelsens Søn, for at Skriften skulde opfyldes.

While I was with them, I kept them true to Thy name--the name Thou hast given me to bear--and I kept watch over them, and not one of them is lost but only he who is doomed to destruction--that the Scripture may be fulfilled.

13 Men nu kommer jeg til dig, og dette taler jeg i Verden, for at de maa have min Glæde fuldkommet i sig.

"But now I am coming to Thee, and I speak these words while I am in the world, in order that they may have my gladness within them filling their hearts.

14 Jeg har givet dem dit Ord; og Verden har hadet dem, fordi de ikke ere af Verden, ligesom jeg ikke er af Verden.

I have given them Thy Message, and the world has hated them, because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

15 Jeg beder ikke om, at du vil tage dem ud af Verden, men at du vil bevare dem fra det onde.

I do not ask that Thou wilt remove them out of the world, but that Thou wilt protect them from the Evil one.

16 De ere ikke af Verden, ligesom jeg ikke er af Verden.

They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world.

17 Hellige dem i Sandheden; dit Ord er Sandhed.

Make them holy in the truth: Thy Message is truth.

18 Ligesom du har udsendt mig til Verden, saa har ogsaa jeg udsendt dem til Verden.

Just as Thou didst send me into the world, I also have sent them;

19 Og jeg helliger mig selv for dem, for at ogsaa de skulle være helligede i Sandheden.

and on their behalf I consecrate myself, in order that they may become perfectly consecrated in truth.

20 Men jeg beder ikke alene for disse, men ogsaa for dem, som ved deres Ord tro paa mig,

"Nor is it for them alone that I make request. It is also for those who trust in me through their teaching;

21 at de maa alle være eet; ligesom du, Fader! i mig, og jeg i dig, at ogsaa de skulle være eet i os, for at Verden maa tro, at du har udsendt mig.

that they may all be one, even as Thou art in me, O Father, and I am in Thee; that they also may be in us; that the world may believe that Thou didst send me.

22 Og den Herlighed, som du har givet mig, har jeg givet dem, for at de skulle være eet, ligesom vi ere eet,

And the glory which Thou hast given me I have given them, that they may be one, just as we are one:

23 jeg i dem og du i mig, for at de maa være fuldkommede til eet, for at Verden maa erkende, at du har udsendt mig og har elsket dem, ligesom du har elsket mig.

I in them and Thou in me; that they may stand perfected in one; that the world may come to understand that Thou didst send me and hast loved them with the same love as that with which Thou hast loved me.

24 Fader! jeg vil, at, hvor jeg er, skulle ogsaa de, som du har givet mig, være hos mig, for at de maa skue min Herlighed, som du har givet mig; thi du har elsket mig før Verdens Grundlæggelse.

"Father, those whom Thou hast given me--I desire that where I am they also may be with me, that they may see the glory--my glory--my gift from Thee, which Thou hast given me because Thou didst love me before the creation of the world.

25 Retfærdige Fader! — og Verden har ikke kendt dig, men jeg har kendt dig, og disse have kendt, at du har udsendt mig.

And, righteous Father, though the world has failed to recognize Thee, I have known Thee, and these have perceived that Thou didst send me.

26 Og jeg har kundgjort dem dit Navn og vil kundgøre dem det, for at den Kærlighed, hvormed du har elsket mig, skal være i dem, og jeg i dem.”

And I have made known Thy name to them and will make it known, that the love with which Thou hast loved me may be in them, and that I may be in them."
