Johannes 16
1 „Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I ikke skulle forarges.
“I have said these things to you so that you wouldn’t be caused to stumble.
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. Yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers service to God.
3 Og dette skulle de gøre, fordi de hverken kende Faderen eller mig.
They will do these things because they have not known 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 told you these things so that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you about them. I didn’t tell you these things 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 am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
6 Men fordi jeg har talt dette til eder, har Bedrøvelsen opfyldt eders Hjerte.
But because I have told you these things, 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.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I don’t go away, the Counsellor won’t come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you.
8 Og naar han kommer, skal han overbevise Verden om Synd og om Retfærdighed og om Dom.
When he has come, he will convict the world about sin, about righteousness, and about judgement;
9 Om Synd, fordi de ikke tro paa mig;
about sin, because they don’t believe in me;
10 men om Retfærdighed, fordi jeg gaar til min Fader, og I se mig ikke længere;
about righteousness, because I am going to my Father, and you won’t see me any more;
11 men om Dom, fordi denne Verdens Fyrste er dømt.
about judgement, because the prince of this world has been judged.
12 Jeg har endnu meget at sige eder; men I kunne ikke bære det nu.
“I still have many things to tell you, but you can’t 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.
However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
14 Han skal herliggøre mig; thi han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.
He will glorify me, for he will take from what is mine and will declare it to you.
15 Alt, hvad Faderen har, er mit; derfor sagde jeg, at han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.
All things that the Father has are mine; therefore I said that he takes of mine and will declare it 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 you will not see me. Again a little while, and you will 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?‟
Some of his disciples therefore said to one another, “What is this that he says to us, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will see me;’ and, ‘Because I go to the Father’?”
18 De sagde altsaa: „Hvad er dette, han siger: Om en liden Stund? Vi forstaa ikke, hvad han taler.‟
They said therefore, “What is this that he says, ‘A little while’? We don’t know what he is saying.”
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.
Therefore Jesus perceived that they wanted to ask him, and he said to them, “Do you enquire amongst yourselves concerning this, that I said, ‘A little while, and you won’t see me, and again a little while, and you will 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.
Most certainly I tell you that you will weep and lament, but 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.
A woman, when she gives birth, has sorrow because her time has come. But when she has delivered the child, she doesn’t remember the anguish any more, for the joy that a human being is 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 now have sorrow, but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away 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.
“In that day you will ask me no questions. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you.
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 will receive, that your joy may be made 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 to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about 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 day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you that I will pray to 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, and have believed that I came from God.
28 Jeg udgik fra Faderen og er kommen til Verden; jeg forlader Verden igen og gaar til Faderen.‟
I came 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 said to him, “Behold, now you are speaking plainly, and using no figures of speech.
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 don’t need for anyone to question you. By this we believe that you came from God.”
31 Jesus svarede dem: „Nu tro I!
Jesus answered 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 time is coming, yes, and has now come, that you will be scattered, everyone to his own place, and you will leave me alone. Yet 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 told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.”
