Johannes 16

1 „Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I ikke skulle forarges.

I have spoken these things to you, that you may not be offended.

2 De skulle udelukke eder af Synagogerne, ja, den Tid skal komme, at hver den, som slaar eder ihjel, skal mene, at han viser Gud en Dyrkelse.

They will put you out of the synagogues: but the hour is coming, that every one killing you may think he is offering service to God.

3 Og dette skulle de gøre, fordi de hverken kende Faderen eller mig.

And they will do these things, because they did not know the Father, nor me.

4 Men dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I, naar Timen kommer, skulle komme i Hu, at jeg har sagt eder det; men dette sagde jeg eder ikke fra Begyndelsen, fordi jeg var hos eder.

But I have spoken these things to you, that when the hour may come, you may remember them, that I did say them to you. But I said not these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you.

5 Men nu gaar jeg hen til ham, som sendte mig, og ingen af eder spørger mig: Hvor gaar du hen?

But now I go to Him that sent me; and no one of you asks me, Whither goest thou?

6 Men fordi jeg har talt dette til eder, har Bedrøvelsen opfyldt eders Hjerte.

But because I have spoken these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

7 Men jeg siger eder Sandheden: Det er eder gavnligt, at jeg gaar bort, thi gaar jeg ikke bort, kommer Talsmanden ikke til eder; men gaar jeg bort, saa vil jeg sende ham til eder.

But now I tell you the truth; it is profitable to you that I may go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I may go, I will send Him to you.

8 Og naar han kommer, skal han overbevise Verden om Synd og om Retfærdighed og om Dom.

And having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment.

9 Om Synd, fordi de ikke tro paa mig;

Concerning sin indeed, because they do not believe on me; and concerning righteousness;

10 men om Retfærdighed, fordi jeg gaar til min Fader, og I se mig ikke længere;

because I go to the Father, and you see me no more;

11 men om Dom, fordi denne Verdens Fyrste er dømt.

and concerning judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

12 Jeg har endnu meget at sige eder; men I kunne ikke bære det nu.

I have many things to say to you, but you are not able to bear them now.

13 Men naar han, Sandhedens Aand, kommer, skal han vejlede eder til hele Sandheden; thi han skal ikke tale af sig selv, men hvad som helst han hører, skal han tale, og de kommende Ting skal han forkynde eder.

But when He, the Spirit of truth, may come, He will guide you in all truth: for He will not speak from Himself; but so many things as He hears, He will speak: and will proclaim to you the things which are coming.

14 Han skal herliggøre mig; thi han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.

He will glorify me: because He will receive from mine, and proclaim them unto you.

15 Alt, hvad Faderen har, er mit; derfor sagde jeg, at han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.

And all things whatsoever the Father has are mine: therefore I said, that He takes from mine, and will proclaim them to you.

16 Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig længer, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig.”

A little while, and ye see me no more; again a little while, and ye shall see me.

17 Da sagde nogle af hans Disciple til hverandre: „Hvad er dette, som han siger os: Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig, og: Jeg gaar hen til Faderen?”

Then some of His disciples were saying to one another, What is this which He speaks to us, A little while, and you see me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me? and that I go to the Father?

18 De sagde altsaa: „Hvad er dette, han siger: Om en liden Stund? Vi forstaa ikke, hvad han taler.”

Then they were speaking, What is this, Little while, of which He speaks? and we know not what He is talking about.

19 Jesus vidste, at de vilde spørge ham, og han sagde til dem: „I spørge hverandre om dette, at jeg sagde: Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig.

Jesus knew that they wished to ask Him, and said to them, You are seeking with one another concerning this, because I said, A little while, and you see me no more, and again a little while, and you shall see me?

20 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle græde og jamre, men Verden skal glæde sig; I skulle være bedrøvede, men eders Bedrøvelse skal blive til Glæde.

Truly, truly, I say unto you, that you will weep and mourn, and the world will rejoice; you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy.

21 Naar Kvinden føder, har hun Bedrøvelse, fordi hendes Time er kommen; men naar hun har født Barnet, kommer hun ikke mere sin Trængsel i Hu af Glæde over, at et Menneske er født til Verden.

When a woman may bring forth she has sorrow, because her hour has come: but when the little child may be born, she remembers her suffering no more, for the joy that a man has been born into the world.

22 Ogsaa I have da vel nu Bedrøvelse, men jeg skal se eder igen, og eders Hjerte skal glædes, og ingen tager eders Glæde fra eder.

Therefore you indeed also now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one taketh your joy from you.

23 Og paa den Dag skulle I ikke spørge mig om noget. Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvad som helst I bede Faderen om, skal han give eder i mit Navn.

And in that day you will ask of me nothing. Truly, truly, I say unto you, Whatsoever you may ask the Father, He will give it to you in my name.

24 Hidindtil have I ikke bedet om noget i mit Navn; beder, og I skulle faa, for at eders Glæde maa blive fuldkommen.

Until now you have asked nothing in my name: ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy may be full.

25 Dette har jeg talt til eder i Lignelser; der kommer en Time, da jeg ikke mere skal tale til eder i Lignelser, men frit ud forkynde eder om Faderen.

I have spoken these things unto you in parables; the hour comes, when I shall no longer speak to you in parables, but openly will I proclaim to you concerning the Father.

26 Paa den Dag skulle I bede i mit Navn, og jeg siger ikke til eder, at jeg vil bede Faderen for eder;

In that clay you shall ask in my name: and I do not say, that I will ask the Father for you;

27 thi Faderen selv elsker eder, fordi I have elsket mig og troet, at jeg er udgaaet fra Gud.

for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved me as a friend, and you have believed that I came out from God.

28 Jeg udgik fra Faderen og er kommen til Verden; jeg forlader Verden igen og gaar til Faderen.”

I came out from the Father, and have come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.

29 Hans Disciple sige til ham: „Se, nu taler du frit ud og siger ingen Lignelse.

His disciples say; Behold, now you are talking openly, and speaking no parable.

30 Nu vide vi, at du ved alle Ting og ikke har nødig, at nogen spørger dig; desaarsag tro vi, at du er udgaaet fra Gud.”

Now we know that you know all things, and have no need that any one may ask you: in this we believe that you came out from God.

31 Jesus svarede dem: „Nu tro I!

Jesus responded to them, Do you now believe?

32 Se, den Time kommer, og den er kommen, da I skulle adspredes hver til sit og lade mig alene; dog, jeg er ikke alene, thi Faderen er med mig.

Behold, the hour cometh, and is already come, that you must be scattered abroad, each one to his own place, and leave me alone: I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

33 Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I skulle have Fred i mig. I Verden have I Trængsel; men værer frimodige, jeg har overvundet Verden.”

I have spoken these things to you, in order that you may have peace in me. In the world you have tribulation: but take courage; I have conquered the world.
