Johannes 14
1 „Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke! Tror paa Gud, og tror paa mig!
"Let not your hearts be troubled. Trust in God: trust in me also.
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 there are many resting-places. Were it otherwise, I would have told you; for I am going to make ready 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 make ready a place for you, I will return and take you to be with me, that where I am you also may be.
4 Og hvor jeg gaar hen, derhen vide I Vejen.”
And where I am going, you all know the way."
5 Thomas siger til ham: „Herre! vi vide ikke, hvor du gaar hen; og hvorledes kunne vi vide Vejen?”
"Master," said Thomas, "we do not know where you are going. In what sense do we know the way?"
6 Jesus siger til ham: „Jeg er Vejen og Sandheden og Livet; der kommer ingen til Faderen uden ved mig.
"I am the Way," replied Jesus, "and the Truth and the Life. No one comes 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--all of you--knew me, you would fully know my Father also. From this time forward you know Him and have seen Him."
8 Filip siger til ham: „Herre! vis os Faderen, og det er os nok.”
"Master," said Philip, "cause us to see the Father: that is all we need."
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?
"Have I been so long among you," Jesus answered, "and yet you, Philip, do not know me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you ask me, 'Cause us to see 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.
Do you not believe that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me? The things that I tell you all I do not speak on my own authority: but the Father dwelling within me carries on His own work.
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, all of you, that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me; or at any rate, believe me because of what I do.
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,
In most solemn truth I tell you that he who trusts in me--the things which I do he shall do also; and greater things than these he shall do, because I am going to the Father.
13 og hvad som helst I bede om i mit Navn, det vil jeg gøre, for at Faderen maa herliggøres ved Sønnen.
And whatever any of you ask in my name, I will do, in order that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Dersom I bede om noget i mit Navn, vil jeg gøre det.
If you make any request of me in my name, I will do it.
15 Dersom I elske mig, da holder mine Befalinger!
"If you love me, you will obey my commandments.
16 Og jeg vil bede Faderen, og han skal give eder en anden Talsmand til at være hos eder evindelig, (aiōn g165)
And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to be for ever with you--the Spirit of truth. (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.
That Spirit the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. You know Him, because He remains by your side and is in you.
18 Jeg vil ikke efterlade eder faderløse; jeg kommer til eder.
I will not leave you bereaved: I am coming to you.
19 Endnu en liden Stund, og Verden ser mig ikke mere, men I se mig; thi jeg lever, og I skulle leve.
Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me: because I live, you also shall live.
20 Paa den Dag skulle I erkende, at jeg er i min Fader, og I i mig, og jeg i eder.
At that time you will know that I am in my Father, and that you are in me, and that I am 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.”
He who has my commandments and obeys them--he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will clearly 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) asked, "Master, how is it that you will reveal yourself clearly 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.
"If any one loves me," replied Jesus, "he will obey my teaching; and 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.
He who has no love for me does not obey my teaching; and yet the teaching to which you are listening is not mine, but is the teaching of the Father who sent me.
25 Dette har jeg talt til eder, medens jeg blev hos eder.
"All this I have spoken to you while still 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 Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send at my request, will teach you everything, and will bring to your memories all that I have 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 own peace I give to you. It is not as the world gives its greetings that I give you peace. Let not your hearts be troubled or dismayed.
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 yet I am coming to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I am going to the Father; for the Father is greater than I am.
29 Og nu har jeg sagt eder det, før det sker, for at I skulle tro, naar det er sket.
I have now told you before it comes to pass, that when it has come to pass you may believe.
30 Jeg skal herefter ikke tale meget med eder; thi denne Verdens Fyrste kommer, og han har slet intet i mig;
In future I shall not talk much with you, for the Prince of this world is coming. And yet in me he has nothing;
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!”
but it is in order that the world may know that I love the Father, and that it is in obedience to the command which the Father gave me that I thus act. Rise, let us be going."
