Johannes 16
1 "Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I ikke skulle forarges.
“I have spoken to you in this way so that you may not falter.
2 De skulle udelukke eder af Synagogerne, ja, den Tid skal komme, at hver den, som slår eder ihjel, skal mene, at han viser Gud en Dyrkelse.
They will expel you from their synagogues; indeed the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think that they are making an offering to God.
3 Og dette skulle de gøre, fordi de hverken kende Faderen eller mig.
They will do this, because they have not learned to know the Father, or even me.
4 Men dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I, når 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 spoken to you of these things so that, when the time for them comes, you may remember that I told you about them myself.
5 Men nu går jeg hen til ham, som sendte mig, og ingen af eder spørger mig: Hvor går du hen?
I did not tell you all this at first, because I was with you. But now I am to return to him who sent me; and yet not one of you asks me – ‘Where are you going?’
6 Men fordi jeg har talt dette til eder, har Bedrøvelsen opfyldt eders Hjerte.
Although your hearts are full of sorrow at all that I have been saying to you.
7 Men jeg siger eder Sandheden: Det er eder gavnligt, at jeg går bort, thi går jeg ikke bort, kommer Talsmanden ikke til eder; men går jeg bort, så vil jeg sende ham til eder.
Yet I am only telling you the truth; it is for your good that I should go away. For otherwise the helper will never come to you, but, if I leave you, I will send him to you.
8 Og når han kommer, skal han overbevise Verden om Synd og om Retfærdighed og om Dom.
And he, when he comes, will bring conviction to the world as to sin, and as to righteousness, and as to judgment;
9 Om Synd, fordi de ikke tro på mig;
as to sin, for people do not believe in me;
10 men om Retfærdighed, fordi jeg går til min Fader, og I se mig ikke længer;
as to righteousness, for I am going to the Father, and you will see me no longer;
11 men om Dom, fordi denne Verdens Fyrste er dømt.
as to judgment, for the Spirit that is ruling this world has been condemned.
12 Jeg har endnu meget at sige eder; men I kunne ikke bære det nu.
I have still much to say to you, but you cannot bear it now.
13 Men når han, Sandhedens Ånd, 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.
Yet when he – The Spirit of truth – comes, he will guide you into all truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but he will speak of all that he hears; and he will tell you of the things that are to come.
14 Han skal herliggøre mig; thi han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.
He will honor me; because he will take of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
15 Alt, hvad Faderen har, er mit; derfor sagde jeg, at han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.
Everything that the Father has is mine; that is why I said that he takes of what is mine, and will tell it to you.
16 Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig længer, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig."
In a little while you will no longer see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed.”
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 går hen til Faderen?"
At this some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying to us ‘In a little while you will not see me, and then in a little while you will see me indeed’; and by saying ‘Because I am going to the Father’?
18 De sagde altså: "Hvad er dette, han siger: Om en liden Stund? Vi forstå ikke, hvad han taler."
What does he mean by ‘In a little while’?” they said. “We do not know what he is speaking about.”
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.
Jesus saw that they were wanting to ask him a question, and said, “Are you trying to find out from one another what I meant by saying ‘In a little while you will not see me; and then in a little while you will see me indeed’?
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.
In truth I tell you that you will weep and mourn, but the world will rejoice; you will suffer pain, but your pain will turn to joy.
21 Når Kvinden føder, har hun Bedrøvelse, fordi hendes Time er kommen; men når hun har født Barnet, kommer hun ikke mere sin Trængsel i Hu af Glæde over, at et Menneske er født til Verden.
A woman in labor is in pain because her time has come; but no sooner is the child born, than she forgets her trouble in her joy that a child has been born into the world.
22 Også I have da vel nu Bedrøvelse, men jeg skal se eder igen, og eders Hjerte skal glædes, og ingen tager eders Glæde fra eder.
You, in the same way, are sorry now; but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will rob you of your joy.
23 Og på 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.
And at that time you will not ask me anything; in truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything, he will grant it to you in my name.
24 Hidindtil have I ikke bedt om noget i mit Navn; beder, og I skulle få, for at eders Glæde må blive fuldkommen.
So far you have not asked for anything, in my name; ask, and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.
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 to you of all this in figures; a time is coming, however, when I will not speak any longer to you in figures, but will tell you about the Father plainly.
26 På den Dag skulle I bede i mit Navn, og jeg siger ikke til eder, at jeg vil bede Faderen for eder;
You will ask, at that time, in my name; and I do not say that I will intercede with the Father for you;
27 thi Faderen selv elsker eder, fordi I have elsket mig og troet, at jeg er udgået fra Gud.
for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came from the Father.
28 Jeg udgik fra Faderen og er kommen til Verden; jeg forlader Verden igen og går til Faderen."
I came out from the Father, and have come into the world; and now I am to leave the world, and go to the Father.”
29 Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Se, nu taler du frit ud og siger ingen Lignelse.
“At last,” exclaimed the disciples, “you are using plain words and not speaking in figures at all.
30 Nu vide vi, at du ved alle Ting og ikke har nødig, at nogen spørger dig; desårsag tro vi, at du er udgået fra Gud."
Now we are sure that you know everything, and need not wait for anyone to question you. This makes us believe that you did come from God.”
31 Jesus svarede dem: "Nu tro I!
“Do you believe that already?” Jesus answered.
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.
“Listen! A time is coming – indeed it has already come – when you are to be scattered, each going his own way, and to leave me alone; and 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 spoken to you in this way, so that in me you may find peace. In the world you will find trouble; yet, take courage! I have conquered the world.”
