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, the man who had died and whom Jesus 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.
They prepared a supper for Jesus there. Martha was serving, and Lazarus was one of the people 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 expensive ointment made of pure nard, anointed Jesus' feet, and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forraadte ham:
Then one of his 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 was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and the money 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.
(He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he was the keeper of the moneybag and would pilfer what was put into it.)
7 Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
So Jesus said, “Leave her alone; she has kept this ointment for the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.‟
For you always have the poor with you, but you will not 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.
Meanwhile a large crowd of the Jews found out that Jesus was there, so they came not only because of Jesus but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
So the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
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 over to Jesus and believing in him.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
On the next day, when a large crowd 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 palm branches and went out to meet him. They were crying out, “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:
Finding a young donkey, Jesus sat on it, just as it is written,
15 „Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.‟
“Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, yoʋr 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 did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things had been done to him.)
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
Now the crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
18 Det var ogsaa derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
That is why a crowd went out to meet him, because they heard he had done this sign.
19 Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.‟
So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are achieving nothing. Behold, the 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 some Greeks among those who went 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.‟
They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and requested of 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 went and told Andrew, and in turn Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
Jesus replied to them, “The hour 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.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
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)
Whoever loves his life will lose it, but whoever hates his 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 wants to serve me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.”
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.
“My soul is now troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour.
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 yoʋr name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have 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.‟
When the crowd standing there heard the voice, they said it was thunder. 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 responded, “This voice has come not for my sake, but for your sake.
31 Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgment of 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 when I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people to myself.”
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
(He said this to indicate the kind of death he was going 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)
The crowd responded to him, “We have heard from the law that the Christ remains forever, so how can yoʋ 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 said to them, “The light is with you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness will not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is 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.
While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you will become sons of light.” After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
Although he had done so many signs in their presence, they did not 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?‟
This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the prophet Isaiah: “Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
For this reason they could not believe, for again Isaiah said,
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 should see with their eyes and understand with their hearts and turn back, and I would heal them.”
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
Isaiah said these things when he saw the Lord's 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, many even among the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they would not declare it openly, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue.
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
For they loved the glory that comes from men more than the glory that comes from God.
44 Men Jesus raabte og sagde: „Den, som tror paa mig, tror ikke paa mig, men paa ham, som sendte mig,
Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me.
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
And 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, so that no one who believes in me will remain 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 my words and does not believe, I do not judge him; for I did not 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.
He who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word I have spoken will judge him on 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 have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment as to what I should say and what I should speak.
