Johannes 18
1 Da Jesus havde sagt dette, gik han ud med sine Disciple over Kedrons Bæk, hvor der var en Have, i hvilken han gik ind med sine Disciple.
After he had spoken these words Jesus went forth with his disciples to a place across the Ravine of the Cedars, where there was a garden into which he and his disciples went.
2 Men også Judas, som forrådte ham, kendte Stedet; thi Jesus samledes ofte der med sine Disciple.
Judas the Traitor also knew this place; for Jesus and his disciples often met there.
3 Så tager Judas Vagtafdelingen og Svende fra Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne og kommer derhen med Fakler og Lamper og Våben.
So after getting troops and some Temple police from the chief priests and Pharisees, Judas came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.
4 Da nu Jesus vidste alt, hvad der skulde komme over ham, gik han frem og sagde til dem: "Hvem lede I efter?"
Then Jesus, knowing all that was coming upon him, went forth to meet them, and asked them, "Who is it that you are looking for?"
5 De svarede ham: "Jesus af Nazareth." Jesus siger til dem: "Det er mig." Men også Judas, som forrådte ham, stod hos dem.
"For Jesus of Nazareth," they answered. He said to them, "I am he." (Now Judas also, the betrayer, was standing with them.)
6 Som han da sagde til dem: "Det er mig," vege de tilbage og faldt til Jorden.
When Jesus said "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground;
7 Han spurgte dem nu atter: "Hvem lede I efter?" Men de sagde: "Jesus af Nazareth."
so he asked them once more, "Whom are you looking for?" and they replied, "Jesus of Nazareth."
8 Jesus svarede: "Jeg har sagt eder, at det er mig; dersom I da lede efter mig, så lader disse gå!"
"I have already told you that I am he," said Jesus. "If, then, you are looking for me, let these go their way."
9 for at det Ord skulde opfyldes, som han havde sagt: "Jeg mistede ingen af dem, som du har givet mig."
"(In order that the word which he had spoken might be fulfilled, "Of those whom thou hast given me I have not lost one.")
10 Simon Peter, som havde et Sværd, drog det nu og slog Ypperstepræstens Tjener og afhuggede hans højre Øre. Men Tjeneren hed Malkus.
Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it, and striking at the high priest’s slave, cut off his right ear.
11 Da sagde Jesus til Peter: "Stik dit Sværd i Skeden! Skal jeg ikke drikke den Kalk, som min Fader har givet mig?"
(The slave’s name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"
12 Vagtafdelingen og Krigsøversten og Jødernes Svende grebe da Jesus og bandt ham.
So the troops and their commandant and the Jewish police took Jesus, and bound him,
13 Og de førte ham først til Annas; thi han var Svigerfader til Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det År.
and led him to Annas first. (For Annas was the Father-in-law of Caiaphas, who was the high priest that year -
14 Men det var Kajfas, som havde givet Jøderne det Råd, at det var gavnligt, at eet Menneske døde for Folket.
the Caiaphas who had advised the Jews that it was for their advantage that one man should die for the people.)
15 Men Simon Peter og en anden Discipel fulgte Jesus, og den Discipel var kendt med Ypperstepræsten, og han gik ind med Jesus i Ypperstepræstens Gård.
Meanwhile Simon Peter was following Jesus, and so was another disciple who was known to the high priest, and they went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest’s palace.
16 Men Peter stod udenfor ved Døren. Da gik den anden Discipel, som var kendt med Ypperstepræsten, ud og sagde det til Dørvogtersken og førte Peter ind.
But Peter took his stand outside, near the door. So the other disciple who was known to the high priest came out and spoke to the doorkeeper and brought Peter in.
17 Pigen, som var Dørvogterske, siger da til Peter: "Er også du af dette Menneskes Disciple?" Han siger: "Nej, jeg er ikke."
The doorkeeper (a maid servant) then said to Peter, "Are not you also one of this man’s disciples?" "No I am not," he answered.
18 Men Tjenerne og Svendene stode og havde gjort en Kulild (thi det var koldt) og varmede sig; men også Peter stod hos dem og varmede sig.
Now the slaves and the attendants were standing and warming themselves about a charcoal fire, which they had made because it was cold; and Peter also stood with them, and was warming himself.
19 Ypperstepræsten spurgte nu Jesus om hans Disciple og om hans Lære.
Then the high priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and about his teaching.
20 Jesus svarede ham: "Jeg har talt frit ud til Verden; jeg har altid lært i Synagoger og i Helligdommen, der, hvor alle Jøderne komme sammen, og i Løndom har jeg intet talt.
Jesus answered him. "I have spoken to all the world openly. I always taught in a synagogue and in the temple, places where all the Jews are wont to assemble, and in secret I have spoken nothing.
21 Hvorfor spørger du mig? Spørg dem, som have hørt, hvad jeg talte til dem; se, de vide, hvad jeg har sagt."
"Why do you question me? Ask those who heard what I have said to them; these witnesses here know what I said."
22 Men som han sagde dette, gav en af Svendene, som stode hos, Jesus et Slag i Ansigtet og sagde: "Svarer du Ypperstepræsten således?"
When he had spoken these words, one of the police standing by gave him a blow with his hand, saying as he did so, "Is that the way you answer the high priest?"
23 Jesus svarede ham: "Har jeg talt ilde, da bevis, at det er ondt: men har jeg talt ret, hvorfor slår du mig da?"
Jesus replied "If I have said anything wrong, give evidence concerning the wrong; but if I said what was true, why do you strike me?"
24 Annas sendte ham nu bunden til Ypperstepræsten Kajfas.
Then Annas sent him in chains to Caiaphas, the high priest.
25 Men Simon Peter stod og varmede sig. Da sagde de til ham: "Er også du af hans Disciple?" Han nægtede det og sagde: "Nej, jeg er ikke."
Now Simon Peter was standing and warming himself. They said therefore to him, "You are not also one of his disciples, are you not?" He denied it, saying "I am not."
26 En af Ypperstepræstens Tjenere, som var en Frænde af ham, hvis Øre Peter havde afhugget, siger: "Så jeg dig ikke i Haven med ham?"
One of the slaves of the high priest, a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off, said, "Did not I myself see you with him in the garden."
27 Da nægtede Peter det atter, og straks galede Hanen.
Peter again denied it; and at that very moment a cock crew.
28 De føre nu Jesus fra Kajfas til Landshøvdingens Borg; men det var årle. Og de gik ikke ind i Borgen, for at de ikke skulde besmittes, men kunde spise Påske,
From the house of Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Praetorium, and it was dawn. They themselves would not enter the Praetorium, in order that they might not be ceremonially defiled, but might be able to eat the Passover.
29 Pilatus gik da ud til dem, og han siger: "Hvad Klagemål føre I mod dette Menneske?"
So Pilate came outside to them and asked, "What charge do you bring against this man?"
30 De svarede og sagde til ham: "Var han ikke en Ugerningsmand, da havde vi ikke overgivet ham til dig."
In reply they said, "If he had not been a criminal, we should not have handed him over you."
31 Da sagde Pilatus til dem: "Tager I ham og dømmer ham efter eders Lov!" Da sagde Jøderne til ham: "Det er os ikke tilladt at aflive nogen; "
"Take him yourselves," answered Pilate, "and judge him according to your law."
32 for at Jesu Ord skulde opfyldes, det, som han sagde, da han gav til Kende, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
The Jews answered him, "We are not allowed to put anyone to death" (that the word of Jesus might be fulfilled in which he predicted the kind of death he was to die).
33 Da gik Pilatus igen ind i Borgen og kaldte på Jesus og sagde til ham: "Er du Jødernes Konge?"
So Pilate went into the Praetorium again, and summoned Jesus. "Are you the King of the Jews?" he said.
34 Jesus svarede: "Siger du dette af dig selv, eller have andre sagt dig det om mig?"
Jesus answered, "Are you saying this of your own accord, or did others say it to you about me?"
35 Pilatus svarede: "Mon jeg er en Jøde? dit Folk og Ypperstepræsterne have overgivet dig til mig; hvad har du gjort?"
"I am not a Jew, am I?" replied Pilate; "It is your own nation and the high priests who have handed you over to me. What have you done?"
36 Jesus svarede: "Mit Rige er ikke af denne Verden. Var mit Rige af denne verden, havde mine Tjenere stridt for, at jeg ikke var bleven overgiven til Jøderne; men nu er mit Rige ikke deraf."
Jesus answered him. "My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants have fought hard that I should not be handed the Jews; but in reality my kingdom is not of such origins."
37 Da sagde Pilatus til ham: "Du er altså dog en Konge?" Jesus svarede: "Du siger det, jeg er en Konge. Jeg er dertil født og dertil kommen til Verden, at jeg skal vidne om Sandheden. Hver den, som er af Sandheden, hører min Røst."
"You are a king, then? You!" said Pilate. "You say truly that I am a king." answered Jesus, "for this purpose I was born, and to this end came I into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Every man who is of the truth listens to my voice."
38 Pilatus siger til ham: "Hvad er Sandhed?" Og da han havde sagt dette, gik han igen ud til Jøderne, og han siger til dem: "Jeg finder ingen Skyld hos ham.
Pilate said to him, "What is truth?" As he said this, he went outside again to the Jews and said to them.
39 Men I have den Skik, at jeg løslade eder en om Påsken; ville I da, at jeg skal løslade eder Jødernes Konge?"
"I find no crime in this man. Now it is a custom of yours that I release one prisoner to you at the time of the Passover feast. Do you wish me to release to you the King of the Jews?"
40 Da råbte de alle igen og sagde: "Ikke ham, men Barabbas;" og Barabbas var en Røver.
Then they all shouted again. "No, not him! Barabbas!" Now Barabbas was a robber.
