Johannes 8
1 [Men Jesus gik til Oliebjerget.
But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 Og aarle om Morgenen kom han igen i Helligdommen, og hele Folket kom til ham; og han satte sig og lærte dem.
Early in the morning he again went to the temple courts. All the people came, and he sat down and taught them.
3 Men de skriftkloge og Farisæerne føre en Kvinde til ham, greben i Hor, og stille hende frem i Midten.
Then the scribes and the Pharisees brought him a woman who had been caught in adultery. Making her stand before them all,
4 Og de sige til ham: „Mester! denne Kvinde er greben i Hor paa fersk Gerning.
they said to Jesus, testing him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.
5 Men Moses bød os i Loven, at saadanne skulle stenes; hvad siger nu du?‟
In the law, Moses commanded us that such women should be stoned; what then do yoʋ say?”
6 Men dette sagde de for at friste ham, for at de kunde have noget at anklage ham for. Men Jesus bøjede sig ned og skrev med Fingeren paa Jorden.
(They said this to test him, so that they might have something to accuse him of.) But Jesus stooped down and wrote with his finger on the ground, taking no notice.
7 Men da de bleve ved at spørge ham, rettede han sig op og sagde til dem: „Den iblandt eder, som er uden Synd, kaste først Stenen paa hende!‟
When they continued asking him, he stood up and said to them, “Let him among you who is without sin throw the first stone at her.”
8 Og han bøjede sig atter ned og skrev paa Jorden.
And again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 Men da de hørte det, gik de bort, den ene efter den anden, fra de ældste til de yngste, og Jesus blev alene tilbage med Kvinden, som stod der i Midten.
When they heard this, they were convicted by their own consciences and began to go away one by one, starting with the older men. So Jesus was left alone, with the woman there before him.
10 Men da Jesus rettede sig op og ingen saa uden Kvinden, sagde han til hende: „Kvinde! hvor ere de henne? Var der ingen, som fordømte dig?‟
Then Jesus stood up and saw no one but the woman. So he said to her, “Where are yoʋr accusers? Has no one condemned yoʋ?”
11 Men hun sagde: „Herre! ingen.‟ Da sagde Jesus: „Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gaa bort, og synd ikke mere!‟]
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I pass judgment on yoʋ; go and sin no more.”
12 Jesus talte da atter til dem og sagde: „Jeg er Verdens Lys; den, som følger mig, skal ikke vandre i Mørket, men have Livets Lys.‟
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will certainly not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
13 Da sagde Farisæerne til ham: „Du vidner om dig selv; dit Vidnesbyrd er ikke sandt.‟
So the Pharisees said to him, “Yoʋ are testifying about yoʋrself, so yoʋr testimony is not valid.”
14 Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: „Om jeg end vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd sandt; thi jeg ved, hvorfra jeg kom, og hvor jeg gaar hen; men I vide ikke, hvorfra jeg kommer, og hvor jeg gaar hen.
Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
15 I dømme efter Kødet; jeg dømmer ingen.
You judge according to the flesh, but I judge no one.
16 Men om jeg ogsaa dømmer, er min Dom sand; thi det er ikke mig alene, men mig og Faderen, han, som sendte mig.
Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Men ogsaa i eders Lov er der skrevet, at to Menneskers Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.
18 Jeg er den, der vidner om mig selv, og Faderen, som sendte mig, vidner om mig.‟
I testify about myself, and the Father who sent me also testifies about me.”
19 Derfor sagde de til ham: „Hvor er din Fader?‟ Jesus svarede: „I kende hverken mig eller min Fader; dersom I kendte mig, kendte I ogsaa min Fader.‟
Then they said to him, “Where is yoʋr father?” Jesus answered, “You neither know me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father as well.”
20 Disse Ord talte Jesus ved Tempelblokken, da han lærte i Helligdommen; og ingen greb ham, fordi hans Time endnu ikke var kommen.
(Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple courts. But no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.)
21 Da sagde han atter til dem: „Jeg gaar bort, og I skulle lede efter mig, og I skulle dø i eders Synd; hvor jeg gaar hen, kunne I ikke komme.‟
Then Jesus said to them again, “I am going away, and you will seek me, but you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22 Da sagde Jøderne: „Mon han vil slaa sig selv ihjel, siden han siger: Hvor jeg gaar hen, kunne I ikke komme?‟
So the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means by saying, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come’?”
23 Og han sagde til dem: „I ere nedenfra, jeg er ovenfra; I ere af denne Verden, jeg er ikke af denne Verden.
He said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Derfor har jeg sagt eder, at I skulle dø i eders Synder; thi dersom I ikke tro, at det er mig, skulle I dø i eders Synder.‟
Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins, for if you do not believe that I am he, you will die in your sins.”
25 De sagde da til ham: „Hvem er du?‟ Og Jesus sagde til dem: „Just det, som jeg siger eder.
They said to him, “Who are yoʋ?” Jesus said to them, “Exactly what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 Jeg har meget at tale og dømme om eder; men den, som sendte mig, er sanddru, og hvad jeg har hørt af ham, det taler jeg til Verden.‟
I have many things to say about you and to judge, but he who sent me is true, and I tell the world what I have heard from him.”
27 De forstode ikke, at han talte til dem om Faderen.
(They did not know that he was speaking to them about the Father.)
28 Da sagde Jesus til dem: „Naar I faa ophøjet Menneskesønnen, da skulle I kende, at det er mig, og at jeg gør intet af mig selv; men som min Fader har lært mig, saaledes taler jeg.
So Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing on my own authority, but I speak these things just as my Father taught me.
29 Og han, som sendte mig, er med mig; han har ikke ladet mig alene, fordi jeg gør altid det, som er ham til Behag.‟
He who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.”
30 Da han talte dette, troede mange paa ham.
As he was saying these things, many believed in him.
31 Jesus sagde da til de Jøder, som vare komne til Tro paa ham: „Dersom I blive i mit Ord, ere I sandelig mine Disciple,
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples.
32 og I skulle erkende Sandheden, og Sandheden skal frigøre eder.‟
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 De svarede ham: „Vi ere Abrahams Sæd og have aldrig været nogens Trælle; hvorledes siger du da: I skulle vorde frie?‟
They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham, and we have never been enslaved to anyone. How then can yoʋ say, ‘You will be set free’?”
34 Jesus svarede dem: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hver den, som gør Synden, er Syndens Træl.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
The slave does not abide in the house forever; the son abides forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Dersom da Sønnen faar frigjort eder, skulle I være virkelig frie.
So if the son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
37 Jeg ved, at I ere Abrahams Sæd; men I søge at slaa mig ihjel, fordi min Tale ikke finder Rum hos eder.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants, but you are seeking to kill me because your hearts have no room for my word.
38 Jeg taler det, som jeg har set hos min Fader; saa gøre ogsaa I det, som I have hørt af eders Fader.‟
I speak of what I have seen with my Father; so you also are doing what you have seen with your father.”
39 De svarede og sagde til ham: „Vor Fader er Abraham.‟ Jesus sagde til dem: „Dersom I vare Abrahams Børn, gjorde I Abrahams Gerninger.
They answered him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were children of Abraham, you would be doing the works of Abraham.
40 Men nu søge I at slaa mig ihjel, et Menneske, der har sagt eder Sandheden, som jeg har hørt af Gud; dette gjorde Abraham ikke.
But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken to you the truth I heard from God. Abraham did not do such a thing.
41 I gøre eders Faders Gerninger.‟ De sagde da til ham: „Vi ere ikke avlede i Hor; vi have een Fader, Gud.‟
You are doing the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born of fornication. We have one Father—God.”
42 Jesus sagde til dem: „Dersom Gud var eders Fader, da elskede I mig; thi jeg er udgaaet og kommen fra Gud; thi jeg er heller ikke kommen af mig selv, men han har udsendt mig.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he sent me.
43 Hvorfor forstaa I ikke min Tale? fordi I ikke kunne høre mit Ord.
Why do you not understand what I am saying? It is because you cannot bear to accept my word.
44 I ere af den Fader Djævelen, og eders Faders Begæringer ville I gøre. Han var en Manddraber fra Begyndelsen af, og han staar ikke i Sandheden; thi Sandhed er ikke i ham. Naar han taler Løgn, taler han af sit eget; thi han er en Løgner og Løgnens Fader.
You belong to your father the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks lies, he speaks from his own character, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Men mig tro I ikke, fordi jeg siger Sandheden.
But because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Hvem af eder kan overbevise mig om nogen Synd? Siger jeg Sandhed, hvorfor tro I mig da ikke?
Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I am telling the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Den, som er af Gud, hører Guds Ord; derfor høre I ikke, fordi I ere ikke af Gud.‟
Whoever belongs to God hears the words of God. The reason you do not hear them is because you do not belong to God.”
48 Jøderne svarede og sagde til ham: „Sige vi ikke med Rette, at du er en Samaritan og er besat?‟
The Jews answered him, “Do we not rightly say that yoʋ are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
49 Jesus svarede: „Jeg er ikke besat, men jeg ærer min Fader, og I vanære mig.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Men jeg søger ikke min Ære; der er den, som søger den og dømmer.
I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.
51 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom nogen holder mit Ord, skal han i al Evighed ikke se Døden.‟ (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never see death.” (aiōn g165)
52 Jøderne sagde til ham: „Nu vide vi, at du er besat; Abraham døde og Profeterne, og du siger: Dersom nogen holder mit Ord, han skal i al Evighed ikke smage Døden. (aiōn g165)
The Jews said to him, “Now we know that yoʋ have a demon. Abraham died, and so did the prophets, yet yoʋ say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will certainly never taste death.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Mon du er større end vor Fader Abraham, som jo døde? ogsaa Profeterne døde; hvem gør du dig selv til?‟
Are yoʋ greater than our father Abraham, who died? The prophets also died. Who do yoʋ make yoʋrself out to be?”
54 Jesus svarede: „Dersom jeg ærer mig selv, er min Ære intet; det er min Fader, som ærer mig, han, om hvem I sige, at han er eders Gud.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
55 Og I have ikke kendt ham, men jeg kender ham. Og dersom jeg siger: „Jeg kender ham ikke, ‟ da bliver jeg en Løgner ligesom I; men jeg kender ham og holder hans Ord.
You do not know him, but I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you. But I do know him, and I keep his word.
56 Abraham, eders Fader, frydede sig til at se min Dag, og han saa den og glædede sig.‟
Your father Abraham was glad that he would see my day. He saw it and rejoiced.”
57 Da sagde Jøderne til ham: „Du er endnu ikke halvtredsindstyve Aar gammel, og du har set Abraham?‟
Then the Jews said to him, “Yoʋ are not yet fifty years old, and yoʋ have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus sagde til dem: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, førend Abraham blev til, har jeg været.‟
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
59 Saa toge de Stene for at kaste paa ham; men Jesus skjulte sig og gik ud af Helligdommen.
So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out from the temple grounds. And passing through the crowd, he walked away.
