Johannes 14
1 „Eders Hjerte forfærdes ikke! Tror paa Gud, og tror paa mig!
“Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in 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 homes. If it weren’t so, I would have told you. I am going 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.
If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also.
4 Og hvor jeg gaar hen, derhen vide I Vejen.”
You know where I go, 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 said to him, “Lord, we don’t know where you are going. 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 said to him, “I am the way, 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 had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on, you know him and have seen him.”
8 Filip siger til ham: „Herre! vis os Faderen, og det er os nok.”
Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and that will be 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 said to him, “Have I been with you such a long time, and do you not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How do 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 in me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from myself; but the Father who lives in me does his 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 in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.
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 certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and 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.
Whatever you will ask in my name, I will do it, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 Dersom I bede om noget i mit Navn, vil jeg gøre det.
If you will 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)
I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counsellor, that he may be with you forever: (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 truth, whom the world can’t receive, for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives 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.
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 will live also.
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.”
One who has my commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves me. One who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him, and will 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 Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, what has happened that you are about 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 him, “If a man loves me, he will keep my word. 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 doesn’t love me doesn’t keep my words. The word which you hear isn’t mine, but the Father’s who sent me.
25 Dette har jeg talt til eder, medens jeg blev hos eder.
“I have said these things to you while still living 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 Counsellor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that 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; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
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 how I told you, ‘I am going away, and I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I said ‘I am going to my Father;’ for the 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.
Now I have told you before it happens so that when it happens, 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 more speak much with you, for the prince of the world comes, and 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!”
But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father commanded me, even so I do. Arise, let’s go from here.
