Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Påske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Jesus however, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, and 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.
Therefore they made Him a supper there, and Martha waited at table, but Lazarus was one of them that sat down 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.
And Mary taking a pound of ointment of spikenard of great value, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped them with her hair; and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:
Therefore said one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, who was about to betray Him,
5 "Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?"
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence 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.
He said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the common purse he carried what was put into it.
7 Da sagde Jesus: "Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
Jesus therefore said, Let her alone, she hath reserved this as for the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."
For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always.
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.
And a great number of the Jews understanding that He was there, came not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom He had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:
Wherefore the chief priests took counsel to put Lazarus also to death.
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede på Jesus.
Because on his account many of the Jews went away from them, and believed on Jesus.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
The next day a great multitude that were come to the feast, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, took branches of palm-trees,
13 toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og råbte: "Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!"
and went out to meet Him, and cried, Hosanna! blessed be the king of Israel, who cometh in the name of the Lord.
14 Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpå, som der er skrevet:
And Jesus having gotten a young ass sat thereon,
15 "Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende på en Asenindes Føl."
as it is written, "Fear not, O daughter of Sion, behold thy king cometh sitting on an ass'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 the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written concerning Him, and that they had done thus unto Him.
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
And the people that were with Him testified, that He called Lazarus out of the grave, and raised him from the dead:
18 Det var også derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
and for this reason the people went to meet Him, because they heard that He had done this miracle.
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 not see that ye prevail nothing? Behold, all the world is gone after Him.
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gå op for at tilbede på Højtiden.
And among those that came up to worship at the feast there were certain Greeks:
21 Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: "Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus."
that came to Philip who was of Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
And Philip cometh and telleth Andrew, and then Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: "Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
And Jesus answered them saying, The time is come that the Son of man is to 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.
Though I tell you indeed and in truth, Except a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, it remaineth alone; but if it die, it produceth 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)
So he, that loveth his life, shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world, shall preserve it unto life eternal. (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 would serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: and if any one serve me, him will my Father honour.
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 for this cause came I 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. Then came a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.
29 Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: "En Engel har talt til ham."
The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said, That it was thunder: but others said, it was an angel spake 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 came not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Nu går der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgement of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32 og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men unto me.
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
This He said, signifying what death He should 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 people answered Him, We have heard out of the law, that the Messiah abideth for ever: and how sayest thou, 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.
Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while the light is to be with you; walk while ye have the light, least darkness overtake you; for he that walketh in the dark knoweth not whither he goeth.
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, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and then went away, and concealed himself from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort så mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke på ham,
But though He had done so many miracles before their eyes, yet they did not believe on 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 Esaias the prophet was fulfilled, which he spake, saying, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm of the Lord been revealed?
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
And therefore they could not believe; for Esaias had also said,
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 hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, that they might not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han så hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
These things said Esaias when he saw his glory, and spake concerning 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;
There were however many of the chief rulers that believed on Him; but because of the pharisees they did not confess it, lest they should be excommunicated.
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 raised his voice, and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me only, but on Him that sent me:
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth Him that 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 am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me, might not abide in 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 one hear my words and believe not, I do not condemn him: for I am not now come to condemn the world, but to 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 that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word, that I have spoken, will condemn him at 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.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father, who sent me, gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
