Johannes 8
1 Men Jesus gik til Oliebjerget.
But Jesus continued on to the Mount of Olives.
2 og årle om Morgenen kom han igen i Helligdommen, og hele Folket kom til ham; og han satte sig og lærte dem.
And early in the morning, he went again to the temple; and all the people came to him. And sitting down, he taught them.
3 Men de skriftkloge og Farisæerne føre en Kvinde til ham, greben i Hor, og stille hende frem i Midten.
Now the scribes and Pharisees brought forward a woman caught in adultery, and they stood her in front of them.
4 Og de sige til ham: "Mester! denne Kvinde er greben i Hor på fersk Gerning.
And they said to him: “Teacher, this woman was just now caught in adultery.
5 Men Moses bød os i Loven, at sådanne skulle stenes; hvad siger nu du?"
And in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such a one. Therefore, what do you say?”
6 Men dette sagde de for at friste ham, for at de kunde have noget at anklage ham for. Men Jesus bøjede sig ned og skrev med Fingeren på Jorden.
But they were saying this to test him, so that they might be able to accuse him. Then Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the earth.
7 Men da de bleve ved at spørge ham, rettede han sig op og sagde til dem: "Den iblandt eder, som er uden Synd, kaste først Stenen på hende!"
And then, when they persevered in questioning him, he stood upright and said to them, “Let whoever is without sin among you be the first to cast a stone at her.”
8 Og han bøjede sig atter ned og skrev på Jorden.
And bending down again, he wrote on the earth.
9 Men da de hørte det, gik de bort, den ene efter den anden, fra de ældste til de yngste, og Jesus blev alene tilbage med Kvinden, som stod der i Midten.
But upon hearing this, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest. And Jesus alone remained, with the woman standing in front of him.
10 Men da Jesus rettede sig op og ingen så uden Kvinden, sagde han til hende: "Kvinde! hvor ere de henne? Var der ingen, som fordømte dig?,"
Then Jesus, raising himself up, said to her: “Woman, where are those who accused you? Has no one condemned you?”
11 Men hun sagde: "Herre! ingen." Da sagde Jesus: "Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gå bort, og synd ikke mere!"
And she said, “No one, Lord.” Then Jesus said: “Neither will I condemn you. Go, and now do not choose to sin anymore.”
12 Jesus talte da atter til dem og sagde: "Jeg er Verdens Lys; den, som følger mig, skal ikke vandre i Mørket, men have Livets Lys."
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying: “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me does not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.”
13 Da sagde Farisæerne til ham: "Du vidner om dig selv; dit Vidnesbyrd er ikke sandt."
And so the Pharisees said to him, “You offer testimony about yourself; your testimony is not true.”
14 Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Om jeg end vidner om mig selv. er mit Vidnesbyrd sandt; thi jeg ved, hvorfra jeg kom, og hvor jeg går hen; men I vide ikke, hvorfra jeg kommer, og hvor jeg går hen.
Jesus responded and said to them: “Even though I offer testimony about myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going.
15 I dømme efter Kødet; jeg dømmer ingen.
You judge according to the flesh. I do not judge anyone.
16 Men om jeg også dømmer, er min Dom sand; thi det er ikke mig alene, men mig og Faderen, han, som sendte mig.
And when I do judge, my judgment is true. For I am not alone, but it is I and he who sent me: the Father.
17 Men også i eders Lov er der skrevet, at to Menneskers Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
And it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Jeg er den, der vidner om mig selv, og Faderen, som sendte mig, vidner om mig."
I am one who offers testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me offers testimony about me.”
19 Derfor sagde de til ham: "Hvor er din Fader?" Jesus svarede: "I kende hverken mig eller min Fader; dersom I kendte mig, kendte I også min Fader."
Therefore, they said to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered: “You know neither me, nor my Father. If you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.”
20 Disse Ord talte Jesus ved Tempelblokken, da han lærte i Helligdommen; og ingen greb ham, fordi hans Time endnu ikke var kommen.
Jesus spoke these words at the treasury, while teaching in the temple. And no one apprehended him, because his hour had not yet come.
21 Da sagde han atter til dem: "Jeg går bort, og I skulle lede efter mig, og I skulle dø i eders Synd; hvor jeg går hen, kunne I ikke komme."
Therefore, Jesus again spoke to them: “I am going, and you shall seek me. And you will die in your sin. Where I am going, you are not able to go.”
22 Da sagde Jøderne: "Mon han vil slå sig selv ihjel, siden han siger: Hvor jeg går hen, kunne I ikke komme?"
And so the Jews said, “Is he going to kill himself, for he said: ‘Where I am going, you are not able to go?’”
23 Og han sagde til dem: "I ere nedenfra, jeg er ovenfra; I ere af denne Verden, jeg er ikke af denne Verden.
And he said to them: “You are from below. I am from above. You are of this world. I am not of this world.
24 Derfor har jeg sagt eder, at I skulle dø i eders Synder; thi dersom I ikke tro, at det er mig, skulle I dø i eders Synder."
Therefore, I said to you, that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am, you will die in your sin.”
25 De sagde da til ham: "Hvem er du?" Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Just det, som jeg siger eder.
And so they said to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them: “The Beginning, who is also speaking to you.
26 Jeg har meget at tale og dømme om eder; men den, som sendte mig, er sanddru, og hvad jeg har hørt af ham, det taler jeg til Verden."
I have much to say about you and to judge. But he who sent me is true. And what I have heard from him, this I speak within the world.”
27 De forstode ikke, at han talte til dem om Faderen.
And they did not realize that he was calling God his Father.
28 Da sagde Jesus til dem: "Når I få ophøjet Menneskesønnen, da skulle I kende, at det er mig, og at jeg gør intet af mig selv; men som min Fader har lært mig, således taler jeg.
And so Jesus said to them: “When you will have lifted up the Son of man, then you shall realize that I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but just as the Father has taught me, so do I speak.
29 Og han, som sendte mig, er med mig; han har ikke ladet mig alene, fordi jeg; gør altid det, som er ham til Behag."
And he who sent me is with me, and he has not abandoned me alone. For I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30 Da han talte dette, troede mange på ham.
As he was speaking these things, many believed in him.
31 Jesus sagde da til de Jøder, som vare komne til Tro på ham: "Dersom I blive i mit Ord, ere I sandelig mine Disciple,
Therefore, Jesus said to those Jews who believed in him: “If you will abide in my word, you will truly be my disciples.
32 og I skulle erkende Sandheden, og Sandheden skal frigøre eder."
And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free.”
33 De svarede ham: "Vi ere Abrahams Sæd og have aldrig været nogens Trælle; hvorledes siger du da: I skulle vorde frie?"
They answered him: “We are the offspring of Abraham, and we have never been a slave to anyone. How can you say, ‘You shall be set free?’”
34 Jesus svarede dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hver den, som gør Synden, er Syndens Træl.
Jesus answered them: “Amen, amen, I say to you, that everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.
Now the slave does not abide in the house for eternity. Yet the Son does abide in eternity. (aiōn g165)
36 Dersom da Sønnen får frigjort eder, skulle I være virkelig frie.
Therefore, if the Son has set you free, then you will truly be free.
37 Jeg ved, at I ere Abrahams Sæd; men I søge at slå mig ihjel, fordi min Tale ikke finder Rum hos eder.
I know that you are sons of Abraham. But you are seeking to kill me, because my word has not taken hold in you.
38 Jeg taler det, som jeg har set hos min Fader; så gøre også I det, som I have hørt af eders Fader."
I speak what I have seen with my Father. And you do what you have seen with your father.”
39 De svarede og sagde til ham: "Vor Fader er Abraham." Jesus sagde til dem: "Dersom I vare Abrahams Børn, gjorde I Abrahams Gerninger.
They responded and said to him, “Abraham is our father.” Jesus said to them: “If you are the sons of Abraham, then do the works of Abraham.
40 Men nu søge I at slå mig ihjel, et Menneske, der har sagt eder Sandheden, som jeg har hørt af Gud; dette gjorde Abraham ikke.
But now you are seeking to kill me, a man who has spoken the truth to you, which I have heard from God. This is not what Abraham did.
41 I gøre eders Faders Gerninger." De sagde til ham: "Vi ere ikke avlede i Hor; vi have een Fader, Gud."
You do the works of your father.” Therefore, they said to him: “We were not born out of fornication. We have one father: God.”
42 Jesus sagde til dem: "Dersom Gud var eders Fader, da elskede I mig; thi jeg er udgået og kommen fra Gud; thi jeg er heller ikke kommen af mig selv, men han har udsendt mig.
Then Jesus said to them: “If God were your father, certainly you would love me. For I proceeded and came from God. For I did not come from myself, but he sent me.
43 Hvorfor forstå I ikke min Tale? fordi I ikke kunne høre mit Ord.
Why do you not recognize my speech? It is because you are not able to hear my word.
44 I ere af den Fader Djævelen, og eders Faders Begæringer ville I gøre. Han var en Manddraber fra Begyndelsen af, og han står ikke i Sandheden; thi Sandhed er ikke i ham. Når han taler Løgn, taler han af sit eget; thi han er en Løgner og Løgnens Fader.
You are of your father, the devil. And you will carry out the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning. And he did not stand in the truth, because the truth is not in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks it from his own self. For he is a liar, and the father of lies.
45 Men mig tro I ikke, fordi jeg siger Sandheden.
But if I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Hvem af eder kan overbevise mig om nogen Synd? Siger jeg Sandhed, hvorfor tro I mig da ikke?
Which of you can convict me of sin? If I speak the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
47 Den, som er af Gud, hører Guds Ord; derfor høre I ikke, fordi I ere ikke af Gud."
Whoever is of God, hears the words of God. For this reason, you do not hear them: because you are not of God.”
48 Jøderne svarede og sagde til ham: "Sige vi ikke med Rette, at du er en Samaritan og er besat?"
Therefore, the Jews responded and said to him, “Are we not correct in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you have a demon?”
49 Jesus svarede: "Jeg er ikke besat, men jeg ærer min Fader, og I vanære mig.
Jesus responded: “I do not have a demon. But I honor my Father, and you have dishonored me.
50 Men jeg søger ikke min Ære; der er den, som søger den og dømmer.
But I am not seeking my own glory. There is One who seeks and judges.
51 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom nogen holder mit Ord, skal han i al Evighed ikke se Døden." (aiōn g165)
Amen, amen, I say to you, if anyone will have kept my word, he will not see death for eternity.” (aiōn g165)
52 Jøderne sagde til ham: "Nu vide vi, at du et besat; Abraham døde og Profeterne, og du siger: Dersom nogen holder mit Ord, han skal i al Evighed ikke smage Døden. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, the Jews said: “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and yet you say, ‘If anyone will have kept my word, he shall not taste death for eternity.’ (aiōn g165)
53 Mon du er større end vor Fader Abraham, som jo døde? også Profeterne døde; hvem gør du dig selv til?"
Are you greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. So who do you make yourself to be?”
54 Jesus svarede: "Dersom jeg ærer mig selv, er min Ære intet; det er min Fader, som ærer mig, han, om hvem I sige, at han er eders Gud.
Jesus responded: “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me. And you say about him that he is your God.
55 Og I have ikke kendt ham, men jeg kender ham. Og dersom jeg siger: "Jeg kender ham ikke," da bliver jeg en Løgner ligesom I; men jeg kender ham og holder hans Ord.
And yet you have not known him. But I know him. And if I were to say that I do not know him, then I would be like you, a liar. But I know him, and I keep his word.
56 Abraham, eders Fader, frydede sig til at se min Dag, og han så den og glædede sig."
Abraham, your father, rejoiced that he might see my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 Da sagde Jøderne til ham: "Du er endnu ikke halvtredsindstyve År gammel, og du har set Abraham?"
And so the Jews said to him, “You have not yet reached fifty years, and you have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, førend Abraham blev til, har jeg været."
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I am.”
59 Så toge de Sten for at kaste på ham; men Jesus skjulte sig og gik ud af Helligdommen.
Therefore, they took up stones to cast at him. But Jesus hid himself, and he departed from the temple.
