Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Påske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Therefore six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, the man who died whom he raised from the dead.
2 Der gjorde de da et Aftensmåltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
So they made a supper for him there, and Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those who sat dining with him.
3 Da tog Maria et Pund af ægte, såre kostbar Nardussalve og salvede Jesu Fødder og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Hår; og Huset blev fuldt af Salvens Duft.
Mary therefore, after taking a pound of ointment of very costly genuine spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled of the aroma of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:
Therefore one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, the man who was going to betray him, says,
5 "Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?"
Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?
6 Men dette sagde han, ikke fordi han brød sig om de fattige, men fordi han var en Tyv og havde Pungen og bar, hvad der blev lagt deri.
Now he said this, not because it was a concern to him about the poor, but because he was a thief, and he had the purse and removed things that were put in.
7 Da sagde Jesus: "Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone. She has keep it for the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."
For ye always have the poor with you, but ye do not always have me.
9 En stor Skare af Jøderne fik nu at vide, at han var der; og de kom ikke for Jesu Skyld alene, men også for at se Lazarus, hvem han havde oprejst fra de døde.
Therefore a great multitude of the Jews knew that he is there. And they came, not only because of Jesus, but that they might also see Lazarus whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:
But the chief priests decided that they should kill Lazarus also,
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede på Jesus.
since because of him many of the Jews were going and were believing in Jesus.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
On the morrow a great multitude having come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og råbte: "Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!"
took the branches of the palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried out, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!
14 Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpå, som der er skrevet:
And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it, as it is written,
15 "Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende på en Asenindes Føl."
Fear not, daughter of Zion. Behold, thy King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt.
16 Dette forstode hans Disciple ikke først; men da Jesus var herliggjort, da kom de i Hu, at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de havde gjort dette for ham.
Now his disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these were things written because of him, and they did these things to him.
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
Therefore the multitude, the one that was with him when he called Lazarus from the sepulcher, and raised him from the dead, testified.
18 Det var også derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
Also because of this the multitude met him, because they heard of him doing this sign.
19 Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: "I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden går efter ham."
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Do ye see that ye accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gå op for at tilbede på Højtiden.
Now some Greeks were from those who came up so that they might worship at the feast.
21 Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: "Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus."
These men therefore came to Philip, the man from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we want to see Jesus.
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip comes and tells Andrew, and again Andrew and Philip tell Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: "Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
And Jesus answered them saying, The hour has come that the Son of man should be glorified.
24 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.
Truly, truly, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat that falls into the ground dies, it remains alone, but if it dies it bears much fruit.
25 Den, som elsker sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som hader sit Liv i denne Verden, skal bevare det til et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal også min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.
If any man serves me, let him follow me, and where I am, there my helper will also be. And if any man serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Nu er min Sjæl forfærdet; og hvad skal jeg sige? Fader, frels mig fra denne Time? Dog, derfor er jeg kommen til denne Time.
Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But because of this I came to this hour.
28 Fader herliggør dit Navn!" Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: "Både har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det."
Father, glorify thy name. A voice therefore came out of heaven, saying, I both glorified it, and I will glorify again.
29 Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: "En Engel har talt til ham."
The multitude therefore that stood by and heard, said thunder occurred, others said, An agent has spoken to him.
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: "Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered and said, This voice occurred not for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Nu går der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the ruler of this world will be cast out.
32 og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."
And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men to myself.
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
And he said this, signifying by what death he was going to die.
34 Skaren svarede ham: "Vi have hørt af Loven, at Kristus bliver evindelig, og hvorledes siger da du, at Menneskesønnen bør ophøjes? Hvem er denne Menneskesøn?" (aiōn g165)
The multitude answered him, We have heard from the law that the Christ remains into the age. And how can thou say, The Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of man? (aiōn g165)
35 Da sagde Jesus til dem: "Endnu en liden Tid er Lyset hos eder. Vandrer, medens I have Lyset, for at Mørke ikke skal overfalde eder! Og den, som vandrer i Mørket, ved ikke, hvor han går hen.
Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little time the light is with you. Walk while ye have the light, so that darkness may not overcome you. And he who walks in the darkness knows not where he is going.
36 Medens I have Lyset, tror på Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!" Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.
While ye have the light, believe in the light, so that ye may become sons of light. Jesus spoke these things, and after departing, he was hid from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort så mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke på ham,
But although having done so many signs before them, they did not believe in him,
38 for at Profeten Esajas's Ord skulde opfyldes, som han har sagt: "Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os, og for hvem blev Herrens Arm åbenbaret?"
so that the word of Isaiah the prophet that he spoke might be fulfilled: Lord, who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
Because of this they could not believe. Because Isaiah said again,
40 "Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstå med Hjertet og omvende sig, så jeg kunde helbrede dem."
He has blinded their eyes, and has hardened their heart, so that they would not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be turned, and I would heal them.
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han så hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke about him.
42 Alligevel var der dog mange, endogså af Rådsherrerne, som troede på ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;
Yet, nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess, so that they would not become excommunicated from the synagogue,
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
for they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
44 Men Jesus råbte og sagde: "Den, som tror på mig, tror ikke på mig, men på ham, som sendte mig,
And Jesus cried out and said, He who believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror på mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
I have come a light into the world, so that every man who believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Og om nogen hører mine Ord og ikke vogter på dem, ham dømmer ikke jeg; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at dømme Verden, men for at frelse Verden.
And if any man hears my sayings, and will not believe, I do not judge him, for I came not so that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
48 Den, som foragter mig og ikke modtager mine Ord, har den, som dømmer ham; det Ord, som jeg har talt, det skal dømme ham på den yderste Dag.
He who rejects me and does not receive my sayings, has that which judges him: the word that I spoke, that will judge him in the last day.
49 Thi jeg har ikke talt af mig selv; men Faderen, som sendte mig, han har givet mig Befaling om, hvad jeg skal sige, og hvad jeg skal tale.
Because I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
