Johannes 14
1 „Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke! Tror paa Gud, og tror paa mig!
“Do not let your (pl) heart be distressed; you believe into God and you believe into me.
2 I min Faders Hus er der mange Boliger. Dersom det ikke var saa, havde jeg sagt eder det; thi jeg gaar bort for at berede eder Sted.
In my Father's house are many dwellings (otherwise I would have told you). I am going away to prepare a place for you.
3 Og naar jeg er gaaet bort og har beredt eder Sted, kommer jeg igen og tager eder til mig, for at, hvor jeg er, der skulle ogsaa I være.
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to myself, so that where I am you may be also.
4 Og hvor jeg gaar hen, derhen vide I Vejen.‟
Now you know where I am going, and you know the way.”
5 Thomas siger til ham: „Herre! vi vide ikke, hvor du gaar hen; og hvorledes kunne vi vide Vejen?‟
Thomas says to Him, “Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus siger til ham: „Jeg er Vejen og Sandheden og Livet; der kommer ingen til Faderen uden ved mig.
Jesus says to him: “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through me.
7 Havde I kendt mig, da havde I ogsaa kendt min Fader; og fra nu af kende I ham og have set ham.‟
If you had known me, you would have known my Father as well; from now on you both know Him and have seen Him.”
8 Filip siger til ham: „Herre! vis os Faderen, og det er os nok.‟
Philip says to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.”
9 Jesus siger til ham: „Saa lang en Tid har jeg været hos eder, og du kender mig ikke, Filip? Den, som har set mig, har set Faderen; hvorledes kan du da sige: Vis os Faderen?
Jesus says to him: “Such a long time I have been with you, and you have not known me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
10 Tror du ikke, at jeg er i Faderen, og Faderen er i mig? De Ord, som jeg siger til eder, taler jeg ikke af mig selv; men Faderen, som bliver i mig, han gør sine Gerninger.
Don't you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on my own; rather it is the Father who dwells in me who does the works.
11 Tror mig, at jeg er i Faderen, og Faderen er i mig; men ville I ikke, saa tror mig dog for selve Gerningernes Skyld!
Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or else, believe me because of the works themselves.
12 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som tror paa mig, de Gerninger, som jeg gør, skal ogsaa han gøre, og han skal gøre større Gerninger end disse; thi jeg gaar til Faderen,
“Most assuredly I say to you, the one believing into me, he too will do the works that I do; in fact he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.
13 og hvad som helst I bede om i mit Navn, det vil jeg gøre, for at Faderen maa herliggøres ved Sønnen.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Dersom I bede om noget i mit Navn, vil jeg gøre det.
If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!
15 Dersom I elske mig, da holder mine Befalinger!
If you love me, keep my commandments.
16 Og jeg vil bede Faderen, og han skal give eder en anden Talsmand til at være hos eder evindelig, (aiōn g165)
Also, I will ask the Father and He will give you another Enabler, so that He may stay with you throughout the age (aiōn g165)
17 den Sandhedens Aand, som Verden ikke kan modtage, thi den ser den ikke og kender den ikke; men I kende den, thi den bliver hos eder og skal være i eder.
—the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you do know Him, because He is staying with you and will be in you.
18 Jeg vil ikke efterlade eder faderløse; jeg kommer til eder.
“I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you [shortly].
19 Endnu en liden Stund, og Verden ser mig ikke mere, men I se mig; thi jeg lever, og I skulle leve.
In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me. Because I live you also will live.
20 Paa den Dag skulle I erkende, at jeg er i min Fader, og I i mig, og jeg i eder.
In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
21 Den, som har mine Befalinger og holder dem, han er den, som elsker mig; men den, som elsker mig, skal elskes af min Fader; og jeg skal elske ham og aabenbare mig for ham.‟
The one who has my commandments and keeps them, he is the one who loves me. Now the one who loves me will be loved by my Father; and I will love him, and reveal myself to him.”
22 Judas (ikke Iskariot) siger til ham: „Herre! hvor kommer det, at du vil aabenbare dig for os og ikke for Verden?‟
Judas (not the Iscariot) says to Him, “Lord, just how is it that You are going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”
23 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Om nogen elsker mig, vil han holde mit Ord; og min Fader skal elske ham, og vi skulle komme til ham og tage Bolig hos ham.
Jesus answered and said to him: “If anyone loves me he will keep my word. So my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
24 Den, som ikke elsker mig, holder ikke mine Ord; og det Ord, som I høre, er ikke mit, men Faderens, som sendte mig.
The one who does not love me does not keep my words; further, the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.
25 Dette har jeg talt til eder, medens jeg blev hos eder.
“I have spoken these things to you while being with you.
26 Men Talsmanden, den Helligaand, som Faderen vil sende i mit Navn, han skal lære eder alle Ting og minde eder om alle Ting, som jeg har sagt eder.
But the Enabler, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, He will teach you all things and remind you of everything I said to you.
27 Fred efterlader jeg eder, min Fred giver jeg eder; jeg giver eder ikke, som Verden giver. Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke og forsage ikke!
“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; it is not like the world gives that I give to you. Do not let your heart be distressed or intimidated.
28 I have hørt, at jeg sagde til eder: Jeg gaar bort og kommer til eder igen. Dersom I elskede mig, da glædede I eder over, at jeg gaar til Faderen; thi Faderen er større end jeg.
“You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me you would have been glad that I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ because my Father is greater than I.
29 Og nu har jeg sagt eder det, før det sker, for at I skulle tro, naar det er sket.
I have told you now, before it happens, so that when it does happen you may believe.
30 Jeg skal herefter ikke tale meget med eder; thi denne Verdens Fyrste kommer, og han har slet intet i mig;
“I will no longer talk much with you, because the ruler of the world is approaching; actually, he has nothing in me.
31 men for at Verden skal kende, at jeg elsker Faderen og gør saaledes, som Faderen har befalet mig: saa staar nu op, lader os gaa herfra!‟
Rather, I habitually do just as the Father commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. “Get up, let us leave here.
