Johannes 1
1 I Begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God;
2 Dette var i Begyndelsen hos Gud.
this one was in the beginning with God;
3 Alle Ting ere blevne til ved det, og uden det blev end ikke een Ting til af det, som er.
all things through him did happen, and without him happened not even one thing that hath happened.
4 I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
In him was life, and the life was the light of men,
5 Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
and the light in the darkness did shine, and the darkness did not perceive it.
6 Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
There came a man — having been sent from God — whose name [is] John,
7 Denne kom til et Vidnesbyrd, for at han skulde vidne om Lyset, for at alle skulde tro ved ham.
this one came for testimony, that he might testify about the Light, that all might believe through him;
8 Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
that one was not the Light, but — that he might testify about the Light.
9 Det sande Lys, der oplyser hvert Menneske, var ved at komme til Verden.
He was the true Light, which doth enlighten every man, coming to the world;
10 Han var i Verden, og Verden er bleven til ved ham, og Verden kendte ham ikke.
in the world he was, and the world through him was made, and the world did not know him:
11 Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
to his own things he came, and his own people did not receive him;
12 Men saa mange, som toge imod ham, dem gav han Magt til at vorde Guds Børn, dem, som tro paa hans Navn;
but as many as did receive him to them he gave authority to become sons of God — to those believing in his name,
13 hvilke ikke bleve fødte af Blod, ej heller af Køds Villie, ej heller af Mands Villie, men af Gud.
who — not of blood nor of a will of flesh, nor of a will of man but — of God were begotten.
14 Og Ordet blev Kød og tog Bolig iblandt os, og vi saa hans Herlighed, en Herlighed, som en enbaaren Søn har den fra sin Fader, fuld af Naade og Sandhed.
And the Word became flesh, and did tabernacle among us, and we beheld his glory, glory as of an only begotten of a father, full of grace and truth.
15 Johannes vidner om ham og raaber og siger: „Ham var det, om hvem jeg sagde: Den, som kommer efter mig, er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.‟
John doth testify concerning him, and hath cried, saying, 'This was he of whom I said, He who after me is coming, hath come before me, for he was before me;'
16 Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
and out of his fulness did we all receive, and grace over-against grace;
17 Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
for the law through Moses was given, the grace and the truth through Jesus Christ did come;
18 Ingen har nogen Sinde set Gud; den enbaarne Søn, som er i Faderens Skød, han har kundgjort ham.
God no one hath ever seen; the only begotten Son, who is on the bosom of the Father — he did declare.
19 Og dette er Johannes's Vidnesbyrd, da Jøderne sendte Præster og Leviter ud fra Jerusalem, for at de skulde spørge ham: „Hvem er du?‟
And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent out of Jerusalem priests and Levites, that they might question him, 'Who art thou?'
20 Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.‟
and he confessed and did not deny, and confessed — 'I am not the Christ.'
21 Og de spurgte ham: „Hvad da? Er du Elias?‟ Han siger: „Det er jeg ikke.‟ „Er du Profeten?‟ Og han svarede: „Nej.‟
And they questioned him, 'What then? Elijah art thou?' and he saith, 'I am not.' — 'The prophet art thou?' and he answered, 'No.'
22 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvem er du? For at vi kunne give dem Svar, som have udsendt os; hvad siger du om dig selv?‟
They said then to him, 'Who art thou, that we may give an answer to those sending us? what dost thou say concerning thyself?'
23 Han sagde: „Jeg er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Jævner Herrens Vej, som Profeten Esajas har sagt.‟
He said, 'I [am] a voice of one crying in the wilderness: Make straight the way of the Lord, as said Isaiah the prophet.'
24 Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
And those sent were of the Pharisees,
25 og de spurgte ham og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor døber du da, dersom du ikke er Kristus, ej heller Elias, ej heller Profeten?‟
and they questioned him and said to him, 'Why, then, dost thou baptize, if thou art not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the prophet?'
26 Johannes svarede dem og sagde: „Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder staar den, I ikke kende,
John answered them, saying, 'I baptize with water, but in midst of you he hath stood whom ye have not known, this one it is who is coming after me, who hath been before me,
27 han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
of whom I am not worthy that I may loose the cord of his sandal.'
28 Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
These things came to pass in Bethabara, beyond the Jordan, where John was baptizing,
29 Den næste Dag ser han Jesus komme til sig, og han siger: „Se det Guds Lam, som bærer Verdens Synd!
on the morrow John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God, who is taking away the sin of the world;
30 Han er den, om hvem jeg sagde: Efter mig kommer en Mand, som er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.
this is he concerning whom I said, After me doth come a man, who hath come before me, because he was before me:
31 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde aabenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand.‟
and I knew him not, but, that he might be manifested to Israel, because of this I came with the water baptizing.
32 Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: „Jeg har set Aanden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
And John testified, saying — 'I have seen the Spirit coming down, as a dove, out of heaven, and it remained on him;
33 Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men den, som sendte mig for at døbe med Vand, han sagde til mig: Den, som du ser Aanden dale ned over og blive over, han er den, som døber med den Helligaand.
and I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water, He said to me, On whomsoever thou mayest see the Spirit coming down, and remaining on him, this is he who is baptizing with the Holy Spirit;
34 Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.‟
and I have seen, and have testified, that this is the Son of God.'
35 Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
On the morrow, again, John was standing, and two of his disciples,
36 Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!‟
and having looked on Jesus walking, he saith, 'Lo, the Lamb of God;'
37 Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
and the two disciples heard him speaking, and they followed Jesus.
38 Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
And Jesus having turned, and having beheld them following, saith to them, 'What seek ye?' and they said to them, 'Rabbi, (which is, being interpreted, Teacher, ) where remainest thou?'
39 „Hvad søge I efter?‟ Men de sagde til ham: „Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?‟
He saith to them, 'Come and see;' they came, and saw where he doth remain, and with him they remained that day and the hour was about the tenth.
40 Han siger til dem: „Kommer og ser!‟ De kom da og saa, hvor han opholdt sig, og de bleve hos ham den Dag; det var ved den tiende Time.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard from John, and followed him;
41 Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
this one doth first find his own brother Simon, and saith to him, 'We have found the Messiah,' (which is, being interpreted, The Anointed, )
42 Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias‟ (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
and he brought him unto Jesus: and having looked upon him, Jesus saith, 'Thou art Simon, the son of Jonas, thou shalt be called Cephas,' (which is interpreted, A rock.)
43 Og han førte ham til Jesus. Jesus saa paa ham og sagde: „Du er Simon, Johannes's Søn; du skal hedde Kefas‟ (det er udlagt: Petrus).
On the morrow, he willed to go forth to Galilee, and he findeth Philip, and saith to him, 'Be following me.'
44 Den næste Dag vilde han drage derfra til Galilæa; og han finder Filip. Og Jesus siger til ham: „Følg mig!‟
And Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter;
45 Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith to him, 'Him of whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the prophets, we have found, Jesus the son of Joseph, who [is] from Nazareth;'
46 Filip finder Nathanael og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet ham, hvem Moses i Loven og ligesaa Profeterne have skrevet om, Jesus, Josefs Søn, fra Nazareth.‟
and Nathanael said to him, 'Out of Nazareth is any good thing able to be?' Philip said to him, 'Come and see.'
47 Og Nathanael sagde til ham: „Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?‟ Filip siger til ham: „Kom og se!‟
Jesus saw Nathanael coming unto him, and he saith concerning him, 'Lo, truly an Israelite, in whom guile is not;'
48 Jesus saa Nathanael komme til sig, og han siger om ham: „Se, det er sandelig en Israelit, i hvem der ikke er Svig.‟
Nathanael saith to him, 'Whence me dost thou know?' Jesus answered and said to him, 'Before Philip's calling thee — thou being under the fig-tree — I saw thee.'
49 Nathanael siger til ham: „Hvorfra kender du mig?‟ Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Førend Filip kaldte dig, saa jeg dig, medens du var under Figentræet.‟
Nathanael answered and saith to him, 'Rabbi, thou art the Son of God, thou art the king of Israel.'
50 Nathanael svarede ham: „Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge.‟
Jesus answered and said to him, 'Because I said to thee, I saw thee under the fig-tree, thou dost believe; greater things than these thou shalt see;'
51 Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Tror du, fordi jeg sagde dig, at jeg saa dig under Figentræet? Du skal se større Ting end disse.‟ Og han siger til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle fra nu af se Himmelen aabnet og Guds Engle stige op og stige ned over Menneskesønnen.‟
and he saith to him, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, henceforth ye shall see the heaven opened, and the messengers of God going up and coming down upon the Son of Man.'
