Johannes 16
1 "Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I ikke skulle forarges.
"These things I have spoken to you in order to clear stumbling-blocks out of your path.
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.
You will be excluded from the synagogues; nay more, the time is coming when any one who has murdered one of you will suppose he is offering service to God.
3 Og dette skulle de gøre, fordi de hverken kende Faderen eller mig.
And they will do these things because they have failed to recognize the Father and to discover who I am.
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 these things to you in order that when the time for their accomplishment comes you may remember them, and may recollect that I told you. I did not, however, tell you all this at first, because I was still with you.
5 Men nu går jeg hen til ham, som sendte mig, og ingen af eder spørger mig: Hvor går du hen?
But now I an returning to Him who sent me; and not one of you asks me where I am going.
6 Men fordi jeg har talt dette til eder, har Bedrøvelsen opfyldt eders Hjerte.
But grief has filled your hearts because I have said all this 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 it is the truth that I am telling you--it is to your advantage that I go away. For unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, 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 convict the world in respect of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement; --
9 Om Synd, fordi de ikke tro på mig;
of sin, because they do not believe in me;
10 men om Retfærdighed, fordi jeg går til min Fader, og I se mig ikke længer;
of righteousness, because I am going to the Father, and you will no longer see me;
11 men om Dom, fordi denne Verdens Fyrste er dømt.
of judgement, because the Prince of this world is under sentence.
12 Jeg har endnu meget at sige eder; men I kunne ikke bære det nu.
"I have much more to say to you, but you are unable at present to bear the burden of it.
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.
But when He has come--the Spirit of Truth--He will guide you into all the truth. For He will not speak as Himself originating what He says, but all that He hears He will speak, and He will make known the future to you.
14 Han skal herliggøre mig; thi han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.
He will glorify me, because He will take of what is mine and will make it known 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 the Spirit of Truth takes of what is mine and will make it known to you.
16 Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig længer, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig."
"A little while and you see me no more, and again a little while and you shall see me."
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?"
Some of His disciples therefore said to one another, "What does this mean which He is telling us, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me,' and '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."
So they asked one another repeatedly, "What can that 'little while' mean which He speaks of? We do not understand His words."
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 perceived that they wanted to ask Him, and He said, "Is this what you are questioning one another about--my saying, 'A little while and you do not see me, and again a little while and you shall see me'?
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 most solemn truth I tell you that you will weep aloud and lament, but the world will be glad. You will mourn, but your grief will be turned into gladness.
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, when she is in labour, has sorrow, because her time has come. But when she has given birth to the babe, she no longer remembers the pain, because of her joy at a child being 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.
So you also now have sorrow; but I shall see you again, and your hearts will be glad, and your gladness no one will take away from you.
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.
You will put no questions to me then. "In most solemn truth I tell you that whatever you ask the Father for in my name He will give you.
24 Hidindtil have I ikke bedt om noget i mit Navn; beder, og I skulle få, for at eders Glæde må blive fuldkommen.
As yet you have not asked for anything in my name: ask, and you shall receive, that your hearts may be filled with gladness.
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.
"All this I have spoken to you in veiled language. The time is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language, but will tell you about the Father in plain words.
26 På den Dag skulle I bede i mit Navn, og jeg siger ikke til eder, at jeg vil bede Faderen for eder;
At that time you will make your requests in my name; and I do not promise to ask the Father on your behalf,
27 thi Faderen selv elsker eder, fordi I have elsket mig og troet, at jeg er udgået fra Gud.
for the Father Himself holds you dear, because you have held me dear and have believed that I came from the Father's presence.
28 Jeg udgik fra Faderen og er kommen til Verden; jeg forlader Verden igen og går til Faderen."
I came from the Father and have come into the world. Again I am leaving the world and am going to the Father."
29 Hans Disciple sige til ham: "Se, nu taler du frit ud og siger ingen Lignelse.
"Ah, now you are using plain language," said His disciples, "and are uttering no figure of speech!
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 know that you have all knowledge, and do not need to be pressed with questions. Through this we believe that you came from God."
31 Jesus svarede dem: "Nu tro I!
"Do you at last believe?" replied Jesus.
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.
"Remember that the time is coming, nay, has already come, for you all to be dispersed each to his own home and to leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for 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 all this to you in order that in me you may have peace. In the world you have affliction. But keep up your courage: I have won the victory over the world."
