Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Paaske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was who had been dead, who He had raised from the dead.
2 Der gjorde de da et Aftensmaaltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
There they made Him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with Him.
3 Da tog Maria et Pund af ægte, saare kostbar Nardussalve og salvede Jesu Fødder og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Haar; og Huset blev fuldt af Salvens Duft.
Then Mary took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forraadte ham:
Then one of Jesus’ disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, who was about to betray Him, said,
5 „Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?‟
“Why wasn’t this fragrant oil sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6 Men dette sagde han, ikke fordi han brød sig om de fattige, men fordi han var en Tyv og havde Pungen og bar, hvad der blev lagt deri.
Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and since he had the money box, he used to steal from what was put into it.
7 Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
Jesus therefore said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.‟
You will always have the poor among you, but you won’t always have me.”
9 En stor Skare af Jøderne fik nu at vide, at han var der; og de kom ikke for Jesu Skyld alene, men ogsaa for at se Lazarus, hvem han havde oprejst fra de døde.
Then a great multitude of the Jews learned that He was there; and they came, not just for Jesus’ sake, but also so that they could see Lazarus, who He had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus too,
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede paa Jesus.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, and were believing in Jesus.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
The next day, when a great multitude that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og raabte: „Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!‟
they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and shouted: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!’ The King of Israel!”
14 Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpaa, som der er skrevet:
Then Jesus, finding a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written:
15 „Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.‟
“Don’t be afraid, Daughter of Zion; look, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
16 Dette forstode hans Disciple ikke først; men da Jesus var herliggjort, da kom de i Hu, at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de havde gjort dette for ham.
His disciples didn’t understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about Him and that they had done these things to Him.
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
So the crowd that had been with Him when He called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to testify.
18 Det var ogsaa derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
The crowd also met Him because they heard that He had done this sign.
19 Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.‟
Then the Pharisees said among themselves, “You see that you are accomplishing nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after Him!”
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gaa op for at tilbede paa Højtiden.
Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to worship at the feast.
21 Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: „Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus.‟
Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and told him, “Sir, we would like to see Jesus.”
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip came and told Andrew, then Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
Jesus answered them, saying, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.
Most assuredly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone, but if it dies, it produces many grains.
25 Den, som elsker sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som hader sit Liv i denne Verden, skal bevare det til et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
Anyone who loves their life will lose it, and anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal ogsaa min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.
If anyone serves me, let them follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, my Father will honor them.
27 Nu er min Sjæl forfærdet; og hvad skal jeg sige? Fader, frels mig fra denne Time? Dog, derfor er jeg kommen til denne Time.
“Now my soul has become troubled; and what will I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? No, for this purpose I came to this time.
28 Fader, herliggør dit Navn!‟ Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: „Baade har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det.‟
Father, glorify Your name.” Then a voice came from Heaven, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
29 Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: „En Engel har talt til ham.‟
Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to Him.”
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: „Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered, “This voice hasn’t come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now judgment is upon this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 og jeg skal, naar jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig.‟
And I, if I am lifted up from the Earth, will draw everyone to myself.”
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
He was saying this to indicate the kind of death He was about to die.
34 Skaren svarede ham: „Vi have hørt af Loven, at Kristus bliver evindelig, og hvorledes siger da du, at Menneskesønnen bør ophøjes? Hvem er denne Menneskesøn?‟ (aiōn g165)
Therefore the crowd answered Him, “We have heard from the Law that the Christ is to remain forever, so how can You say, ‘The Son of Man must be lifted up’? Who is this Son of Man?” (aiōn g165)
35 Da sagde Jesus til dem: „Endnu en liden Tid er Lyset hos eder. Vandrer, medens I have Lyset, for at Mørke ikke skal overfalde eder! Og den, som vandrer i Mørket, ved ikke, hvor han gaar hen.
Jesus told them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you don’t know where you are going.
36 Medens I have Lyset, tror paa Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!‟ Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.
Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light.” After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
Although He had performed so many signs in front of them, they still didn’t believe in Him,
38 for at Profeten Esajas's Ord skulde opfyldes, som han har sagt: „Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os, og for hvem blev Herrens Arm aabenbaret?‟
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? And who has the arm of the LORD been revealed to?”
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
Therefore they couldn’t believe, because Isaiah said again:
40 „Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.‟
“He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, lest they see with their eyes, and understand with their hearts and turn — and I would heal them.”
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus’ glory and spoke about Him.
42 Alligevel var der dog mange, endogsaa af Raadsherrerne, som troede paa ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;
Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in Him, but because of the Pharisees they weren’t confessing Him, for fear that they might be put out of the synagogue;
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
because they sincerely loved men’s approval more than God’s approval.
44 Men Jesus raabte og sagde: „Den, som tror paa mig, tror ikke paa mig, men paa ham, som sendte mig,
Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me doesn’t just believe in me, but in Him who sent me.
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
Whoever sees me sees Him who sent me.
46 Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror paa mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
I have come into the world as light, that everyone who believes in me should not stay in darkness.
47 Og om nogen hører mine Ord og ikke vogter paa dem, ham dømmer ikke jeg; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at dømme Verden, men for at frelse Verden.
If anyone hears the words I speak, and doesn’t keep them, I don’t judge them; because I didn’t come to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Den, som foragter mig og ikke modtager mine Ord, har den, som dømmer ham; det Ord, som jeg har talt, det skal dømme ham paa den yderste Dag.
Whoever rejects me, and doesn’t receive my sayings, has one who judges them. The words that I spoke are what will judge him at the last day.
49 Thi jeg har ikke talt af mig selv; men Faderen, som sendte mig, han har givet mig Befaling om, hvad jeg skal sige, og hvad jeg skal tale.
For I haven’t spoken on my own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent me has given me commandment, what to say, and what to speak.
