Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Påske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was Lazarus, who had died, whom he raised out of 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.
they made, therefore, to him a supper there, and Martha was ministering, and Lazarus was one of those reclining together (at meat) 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, having taken a pound of ointment of spikenard, of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus and did wipe with her hair his feet, and the house was filled from the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:
Therefore saith one of his disciples — Judas Iscariot, of Simon, who is about to deliver him up —
5 "Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?"
'Wherefore was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, 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.
and he said this, not because he was caring for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and what things were put in he was carrying.
7 Da sagde Jesus: "Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
Jesus, therefore, said, 'Suffer her; for the day of my embalming she hath kept it,
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."
for the poor ye have always with yourselves, and 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.
A great multitude, therefore, of the Jews knew that he is there, and they came, not because of Jesus only, but that Lazarus also they may see, whom he raised out of the dead;
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:
and the chief priests took counsel, that also Lazarus they may kill,
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede på Jesus.
because on account of him many of the Jews were going away, 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 that came to the feast, having heard that Jesus doth come 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 palms, and went forth to meet him, and were crying, 'Hosanna, blessed [is] he who is coming 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 ass did sit upon it, according as it is written,
15 "Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende på en Asenindes Føl."
'Fear not, daughter of Sion, lo, thy king doth come, sitting on an ass' 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.
And these things his disciples did not know at the first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were having been written about him, and these things they did to him.
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
The multitude, therefore, who are with him, were testifying that he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and did raise him out of the dead;
18 Det var også derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
because of this also did the multitude meet him, because they heard of his having done 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, 'Ye see that ye do not gain anything, lo, the world did go after him.'
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gå op for at tilbede på Højtiden.
And there were certain Greeks out of those coming up that they may worship in 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 then came near to Philip, who [is] from Bethsaida of Galilee, and were asking him, saying, 'Sir, we wish to see Jesus;'
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip cometh and telleth 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 responded to them, saying, 'The hour hath come that the Son of Man may 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.
verily, verily, I say to you, if the grain of the wheat, having fallen to the earth, may not die, itself remaineth alone; and if it may die, it doth bear 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 is loving his life shall lose it, and he who is hating his life in this world — to life age-during shall keep it; (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 one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me — honour him will the Father.
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 hath my soul been 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.' There came, therefore, a voice out of the heaven, 'I both glorified, and again I will glorify [it];'
29 Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: "En Engel har talt til ham."
the multitude, therefore, having stood and heard, were saying that there hath been thunder; others said, 'A messenger hath spoken to him.'
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: "Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered and said, 'Not because of me hath this voice come, but because of you;
31 Nu går der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
now is a judgment of this world, now shall the ruler of this world be cast forth;
32 og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."
and I, if I may be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto myself.'
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
And this he said signifying by what death he was about 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 heard out of the law that the Christ doth remain — to the age; and how dost thou say, That it behoveth the Son of Man to be lifted up? who is this — the 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 is the light with you; walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he who is walking in the darkness hath not known where 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 sons of light ye may become.' These things spake Jesus, and having gone away, he was hid from them,
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort så mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke på ham,
yet he having done so many signs before them, they were not believing 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?"
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he said, 'Lord, who gave credence to our report? and the arm of the Lord — to whom was it revealed?'
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
Because of this they were not able to believe, that again Isaiah 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 the eyes, and understand with the heart, and turn back, and I might heal them;'
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han så hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
these things said Isaiah, when he saw his glory, and spake of 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;
Still, however, also out of the rulers did many believe in him, but because of the Pharisees they were not confessing, that they might not be put out of the synagogue,
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
for they loved the glory of men more than the glory 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 and said, 'He who is believing in me, doth not believe in me, but in Him who sent me;
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
and he who is beholding me, doth behold 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 a light to the world have come, that every one who is believing in me — in the darkness may not remain;
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 may hear my sayings, and not believe, I — I do not judge him, for I came not 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 is rejecting me, and not receiving my sayings, hath one who is judging him, the word that I spake, 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 spake not from myself, but the Father who sent me, He did give me a command, what I may say, and what I may speak,
