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.
He 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 by him; and without him was not one thing made that was 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 darkness; and the darkness did not comprehend it.
6 Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
A man was 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.
He came for a witness, that he might bear testimony concerning the Light, that all men through him might believe.
8 Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
He was not the Light, but sent that he should bear testimony concerning the Light.
9 Det sande Lys, der oplyser hvert Menneske, var ved at komme til Verden.
He was that true Light, which illumines every man by his 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 by him, and the world knew him not.
11 Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
He came unto his peculiar people, and his peculiar people did not receive him.
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 did receive him, on them he bestowed authority to become children of God, even on those who 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 incarnate, and tabernacled with us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of 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 bore witness concerning him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I said, He that is coming after me, is before me: because before me he was.
16 Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
And from his plenitude we all have received, even grace corresponding with his grace.
17 Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
For the law was given by Moses, but the grace and the reality came by 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 thoroughly described 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 testimony of John, when the Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they should question him, Who art thou?
20 Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.‟
And he confessed, and denied it not; but acknowledged, I am not the Messiah.
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 Elias? and he said, I am not. Art thou that 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?‟
Then said they to him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to those who sent us: What description givest 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 a voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way for the Lord, as said the prophet Isaiah.
24 Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
And they who were sent, were of 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 questioned him, and said to him, Why then dost thou baptise, if thou be not the Messiah, nor Elias, nor that prophet?
26 Johannes svarede dem og sagde: „Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder staar den, I ikke kende,
John answered them, saying, I baptise with water: but in the midst of you hath stood a person, whom ye have not known;
27 han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
it is he, though coming after me, who was before me, the thong of whole sandal I am not worthy to untie.
28 Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
These things were done in Bethabara beyond Jordan, where John was baptising.
29 Den næste Dag ser han Jesus komme til sig, og han siger: „Se det Guds Lam, som bærer Verdens Synd!
The next day John seeth Jesus coming to him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, who 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 spake, After me cometh a man who was before me: for before me he existed.
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: though that he might be manifested to Israel, therefore am I come baptising with 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 bore witness, saying, I saw the Spirit descending as a dove from heaven, and it rested 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 did not know him: but he that sent me baptising with water, he said to me, Upon whomsoever thou shalt see the Spirit descending as a dove, and resting upon him, that is he who baptiseth with the Holy Ghost.
34 Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.‟
And I have seen it, and have borne testimony that this is the Son of God.
35 Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
On the morrow John was again standing with two of his disciples;
36 Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!‟
and looking upon Jesus as he walked by, he 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:
Then Jesus turned about, and seeing them following, saith to them, What are ye seeking? They said unto him, Rabbi (which signifies, when translated, Master), where is thy abode?
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 see. They came and saw where he abode, and continued with him that day: and 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, who had heard from John mention of Jesus, and had 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 first finds his own brother Simon, and saith to him, We have found the Messiah (which is, being translated, the Christ).
42 Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias‟ (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
And he brought him to Jesus. Then Jesus looking on him, said, Thou art Simon the son of Jonas: thou shalt be called Cephas, which, interpreted in Greek, is Petros, a Rock.
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).
The next day Jesus resolved to go into Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to 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 of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
45 Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
Philip findeth Nathaniel, and saith to him, We have found him whom Moses in the law has described, and the prophets, Jesus the son of Joseph, who is of Nazareth.
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 Nathaniel said to him, Can any thing good come out of Nazareth? Philip saith to 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 Nathaniel coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite in reality, in whom there 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.‟
Nathaniel saith unto him, From whence canst thou know 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.‟
Nathaniel answered and said to him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the 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 to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, dost thou believe? 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 to him, Verily, verily, I tell you, From henceforth ye shall see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.
