Johannes 1
1 I Begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 Dette var i Begyndelsen hos Gud.
The same was in the beginning with God.
3 Alle Ting ere blevne til ved det, og uden det blev end ikke een Ting til af det, som er.
All things were made through him; and without him was not anything made that hath been made.
4 I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
And the light shineth in the darkness; and the darkness apprehended it not.
6 Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
7 Denne kom til et Vidnesbyrd, for at han skulde vidne om Lyset, for at alle skulde tro ved ham.
The same came for witness, that he might bear witness of the light, that all might believe through him.
8 Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
He was not the light, but [came] that he might bear witness of the light.
9 Det sande Lys, der oplyser hvert Menneske, var ved at komme til Verden.
There was the true light, [even the light] which lighteth every man, coming into the world.
10 Han var i Verden, og Verden er bleven til ved ham, og Verden kendte ham ikke.
He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world knew him not.
11 Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
He came unto his own, and they that were his own received him not.
12 Men saa mange, som toge imod ham, dem gav han Magt til at vorde Guds Børn, dem, som tro paa hans Navn;
But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:
13 hvilke ikke bleve fødte af Blod, ej heller af Køds Villie, ej heller af Mands Villie, men af Gud.
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 Og Ordet blev Kød og tog Bolig iblandt os, og vi saa hans Herlighed, en Herlighed, som en enbaaren Søn har den fra sin Fader, fuld af Naade og Sandhed.
And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.
15 Johannes vidner om ham og raaber og siger: „Ham var det, om hvem jeg sagde: Den, som kommer efter mig, er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.”
John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he of whom I said, He that cometh after me is become before me: for he was before me.
16 Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
For of his fulness we all received, and grace for grace.
17 Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18 Ingen har nogen Sinde set Gud; den enbaarne Søn, som er i Faderens Skød, han har kundgjort ham.
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared [him].
19 Og dette er Johannes's Vidnesbyrd, da Jøderne sendte Præster og Leviter ud fra Jerusalem, for at de skulde spørge ham: „Hvem er du?”
And this is the witness of John, when the Jews sent unto him from Jerusalem priests and Levites to ask him, Who art thou?
20 Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.”
And he confessed, and denied not; and he confessed, I am not the Christ.
21 Og de spurgte ham: „Hvad da? Er du Elias?” Han siger: „Det er jeg ikke.” „Er du Profeten?” Og han svarede: „Nej.”
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he answered, No.
22 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvem er du? For at vi kunne give dem Svar, som have udsendt os; hvad siger du om dig selv?”
They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
23 Han sagde: „Jeg er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Jævner Herrens Vej, som Profeten Esajas har sagt.”
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.
24 Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
And they had been sent from the Pharisees.
25 og de spurgte ham og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor døber du da, dersom du ikke er Kristus, ej heller Elias, ej heller Profeten?”
And they asked him, and said unto him, Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet?
26 Johannes svarede dem og sagde: „Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder staar den, I ikke kende,
John answered them, saying, I baptize in water: in the midst of you standeth one whom ye know not,
27 han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.”
[even] he that cometh after me, the latchet of whose shoe I am not worthy to unloose.
28 Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
These things were done in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
29 Den næste Dag ser han Jesus komme til sig, og han siger: „Se det Guds Lam, som bærer Verdens Synd!
On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God, that taketh away the sin of the world!
30 Han er den, om hvem jeg sagde: Efter mig kommer en Mand, som er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.
This is he of whom I said, After me cometh a man who is become before me: for he was before me.
31 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde aabenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand.”
And I knew him not; but that he should be made manifest to Israel, for this cause came I baptizing in water.
32 Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: „Jeg har set Aanden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
And John bare witness, saying, I have beheld the Spirit descending as a dove out of heaven; and it abode upon him.
33 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men den, som sendte mig for at døbe med Vand, han sagde til mig: Den, som du ser Aanden dale ned over og blive over, han er den, som døber med den Helligaand.
And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize in water, he said unto me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and abiding upon him, the same is he that baptizeth in the Holy Spirit.
34 Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.”
And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.
35 Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
Again on the morrow John was standing, and two of his disciples;
36 Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!”
and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith, Behold, the Lamb of God!
37 Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
And the two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus.
38 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him, Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, Teacher), where abidest thou?
39 „Hvad søge I efter?” Men de sagde til ham: „Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?”
He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode; and they abode with him that day: it was about the tenth hour.
40 Han siger til dem: „Kommer og ser!” De kom da og saa, hvor han opholdt sig, og de bleve hos ham den Dag; det var ved den tiende Time.
One of the two that heard John [speak], and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother.
41 Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
He findeth first his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being interpreted, Christ).
42 Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias” (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
He brought him unto Jesus. Jesus looked upon him, and said, Thou art Simon the son of John: thou shalt be called Cephas (which is by interpretation, Peter).
43 Og han førte ham til Jesus. Jesus saa paa ham og sagde: „Du er Simon, Johannes's Søn; du skal hedde Kefas” (det er udlagt: Petrus).
On the morrow he was minded to go forth into Galilee, and he findeth Philip: and Jesus saith unto him, Follow me.
44 Den næste Dag vilde han drage derfra til Galilæa; og han finder Filip. Og Jesus siger til ham: „Følg mig!”
Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, wrote, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.
46 Filip finder Nathanael og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet ham, hvem Moses i Loven og ligesaa Profeterne have skrevet om, Jesus, Josefs Søn, fra Nazareth.”
And Nathanael said unto him, Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.
47 Og Nathanael sagde til ham: „Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?” Filip siger til ham: „Kom og se!”
Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold, an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!
48 Jesus saa Nathanael komme til sig, og han siger om ham: „Se, det er sandelig en Israelit, i hvem der ikke er Svig.”
Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.
49 Nathanael siger til ham: „Hvorfra kender du mig?” Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Førend Filip kaldte dig, saa jeg dig, medens du var under Figentræet.”
Nathanael answered him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King of Israel.
50 Nathanael svarede ham: „Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge.”
Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.
51 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Tror du, fordi jeg sagde dig, at jeg saa dig under Figentræet? Du skal se større Ting end disse.” Og han siger til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle fra nu af se Himmelen aabnet og Guds Engle stige op og stige ned over Menneskesønnen.”
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
