Johannes 3
1 Men der var en Mand af Farisæerne, han hed Nikodemus, en Raadsherre iblandt Jøderne.
There was however, a man from among the Pharisees, Nicodemus, his name, —ruler of the Jews.
2 Denne kom til ham om Natten og sagde til ham: „Rabbi! vi vide, at du er en Lærer kommen fra Gud; thi ingen kan gøre disse Tegn, som du gør, uden Gud er med ham.‟
The same, came unto him, by night, and said unto him—Rabbi! we know that, from God, thou hast come, a teacher; for, no one, can be doing, these signs, which, thou, art doing, except, God, be with him.
3 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, uden nogen bliver født paany, kan han ikke se Guds Rige.‟
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born from above, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
4 Nikodemus siger til ham: „Hvorledes kan et Menneske fødes, naar han er gammel? Mon han kan anden Gang komme ind i sin Moders Liv og fødes?‟
Nicodemus saith unto him—How, can a man be born, when he is, old? Can he, into the womb of his mother, a second time, enter, and be born?
5 Jesus svarede: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, uden nogen bliver født af Vand og Aand, kan han ikke komme ind i Guds Rige.
Jesus answered—Verily, verily, I say unto thee: Except one be born of water and spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 Hvad der er født af Kødet, er Kød; og hvad der er født af Aanden, er Aand.
That which hath been born of the flesh, is, flesh, and, that which hath been born of the spirit, is, spirit.
7 Forundre dig ikke over, at jeg sagde til dig: I maa fødes paany.
Do not marvel, that I said unto thee: Ye must needs be born from above.
8 Vinden blæser, hvorhen den vil, og du hører dens Susen, men du ved ikke, hvorfra den kommer, og hvor den farer hen; saaledes er det med hver den, som er født af Aanden.‟
The spirit, where it pleaseth, doth breathe, and, the sound thereof, thou hearest; but knowest not, whence it cometh and whither it goeth: Thus, is every one who hath been born of the spirit.
9 Nikodemus svarede og sagde til ham: „Hvorledes kan dette ske?‟
Nicodemus answered, and said unto him—How, can these things, come about?
10 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Er du Israels Lærer og forstaar ikke dette?
Jesus answered, and said unto him—Art, thou, the teacher of Israel, and, these things, knowest not?
11 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, vi tale det, vi vide, og vidne det, vi have set; og I modtage ikke vort Vidnesbyrd.
Verily, verily, I say unto thee: What we know, we speak, and, of what we have seen, we bear witness, and, our witness, ye receive not.
12 Naar jeg siger eder de jordiske Ting, og I ikke tro, hvorledes skulle I da tro, naar jeg siger eder de himmelske?
If, the earthly things, I told you, and ye believe not, How, if I should tell you the heavenly things, will ye believe?
13 Og ingen er faren op til Himmelen, uden han, som for ned fra Himmelen, Menneskesønnen, som er i Himmelen.
And, no one, hath ascended into heaven, save he that, out of heaven, descended, —The Son of Man.
14 Og ligesom Moses ophøjede Slangen i Ørkenen, saaledes bør Menneskesønnen ophøjes,
And, just as, Moses, lifted up the serpent in the desert, so, must, the Son of Man, be lifted up, —
That, whosoever believeth in him, may have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
16 Thi saaledes elskede Gud Verden, at han gav sin Søn den enbaarne, for at hver den, som tror paa ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
For God, so loved, the world, that, his Only Begotten Son, he gave, —that, whosoever believeth on him, might not perish, but have life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
17 Thi Gud sendte ikke sin Søn til Verden, for at han skal dømme Verden, men for at Verden skal frelses ved ham.
For God, sent not, his Son into the world, that he might judge the world, but, that the world might be saved through him.
18 Den, som tror paa ham, dømmes ikke; men den, som ikke tror, er allerede dømt, fordi han ikke har troet paa Guds enbaarne Søns Navn.
He that believeth on him, is not to be judged: he that believeth not, already, hath been judged, —because he hath not believed on the name of the Only Begotten Son of God.
19 Og dette er Dommen, at Lyset er kommet til Verden, og Menneskene elskede Mørket mere end Lyset; thi deres Gerninger vare onde.
And, this, is the judgment: That, the light, hath come into the world, —and men loved, rather the darkness than the light, for, wicked, were their, works.
20 Thi hver den, som øver ondt, hader Lyset og kommer ikke til Lyset, for at hans Gerninger ikke skulle revses.
For, whosoever doth practise corrupt things, hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, lest his works should be reproved;
21 Men den, som gør Sandheden, kommer til Lyset, for at hans Gerninger maa blive aabenbare; thi de ere gjorte i Gud.‟
But, he that doeth the truth, cometh unto the light, that his works may be, made manifest, that, in God, have they been wrought.
22 Derefter kom Jesus og hans Disciple ud i Judæas Land, og han opholdt sig der med dem og døbte.
After these things, came Jesus, and his disciples, into the Judaean land; and, there, was he tarrying with them, and immersing.
23 Men ogsaa Johannes døbte i Ænon, nær ved Salem, fordi der var meget Vand der; og man kom derhen og lod sig døbe.
And John also was immersing in Aenon, near to him, because, many waters, were there; and they were coming, and being immersed; —
24 Thi Johannes var endnu ikke kastet i Fængsel.
for, not yet, had John been cast into prison.
25 Da opkom der en Strid imellem Johannes's Disciple og en Jøde om Renselse.
There arose, therefore, a questioning, from among the disciples of John, with a Jew, —concerning purification.
26 Og de kom til Johannes og sagde til ham: „Rabbi! han, som var hos dig hinsides Jordan, han, hvem du gav Vidnesbyrd, se, han døber, og alle komme til ham.‟
And they came unto John, and said unto him—Rabbi! he who was with thee beyond the Jordan, unto whom, thou, hast borne witness, see! the same, is immersing; and, all, are coming unto him.
27 Johannes svarede og sagde: „Et Menneske kan slet intet tage, uden det er ham givet fra Himmelen.
John answered, and said—A man can receive, nothing, except it have been given him out of heaven.
28 I ere selv mine Vidner paa, at jeg sagde: Jeg er ikke Kristus, men jeg er udsendt foran ham.
Ye yourselves, unto me, bear witness, that, I, said—I, am not the Christ; but—I am sent before, That One.
29 Den, som har Bruden, er Brudgom; men Brudgommens Ven, som staar og hører paa ham, glæder sig meget over Brudgommens Røst. Saa er da denne min Glæde bleven fuldkommen.
He that hath the bride, is, bridegroom; but, the friend of the bridegroom, who standeth by and hearkeneth unto him, greatly, rejoiceth, by reason of the voice of the bridegroom. This, my joy, therefore, is fulfilled.
30 Han bør vokse, men jeg forringes.
That One, it behoveth to increase, —but, me, to decrease.
31 Den, som kommer ovenfra, er over alle; den, som er af Jorden, er af Jorden og taler af Jorden; den, som kommer fra Himmelen, er over alle.
He that, from above, doth come, over all, is: he that is of the earth, of the earth, is, and, of the earth, doth speak: he that, out of heaven, doth come, over all, is,
32 Og det, som han har set og hørt, vidner han; og ingen modtager hans Vidnesbyrd.
What he hath seen and heard, of, the same, he beareth witness, —and, his witness, no one, receiveth: —
33 Den, som har modtaget hans Vidnesbyrd, har beseglet, at Gud er sanddru.
He that hath received his witness, hath set seal—that, God, is, true.
34 Thi han, hvem Gud udsendte, taler Guds Ord; Gud giver nemlig ikke Aanden efter Maal.
For, he whom God hath sent, the sayings of God, doth speak; for, not by measure, giveth he the Spirit.
35 Faderen elsker Sønnen og har givet alle Ting i hans Haand.
The Father, loveth the Son, and, all things, hath given into his hand.
36 Den, som tror paa Sønnen, har et evigt Liv; men den, som ikke vil tro Sønnen, skal ikke se Livet, men Guds Vrede bliver over ham.‟ (aiōnios g166)
He that believeth on the Son, hath life age-abiding: whereas, he that yieldeth not unto the Son, shall not see life, —but, the anger of God, awaiteth him. (aiōnios g166)
