John 8
1 But Jesus went to the mount of Olives.
[Men Jesus gik til Oliebjerget.
2 And at early morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him. And having sat down, he taught them.
Og aarle om Morgenen kom han igen i Helligdommen, og hele Folket kom til ham; og han satte sig og lærte dem.
3 And the scholars and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery. And having stood her in the midst,
Men de skriftkloge og Farisæerne føre en Kvinde til ham, greben i Hor, og stille hende frem i Midten.
4 tempting, they say to him, Teacher, we found this woman committing adultery, in the act.
Og de sige til ham: „Mester! denne Kvinde er greben i Hor paa fersk Gerning.
5 Now in the law, Moses commanded us such women are to be stoned. What therefore do thou say about her?
Men Moses bød os i Loven, at saadanne skulle stenes; hvad siger nu du?‟
6 But they said this, trying him, so that they might have an accusation against him. But Jesus having stooped down, wrote on the ground with his finger, not pretending.
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 paa Jorden.
7 And when they continued asking him, after standing erect, he said to them, Let the innocent man of you first cast the stone at her.
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 paa hende!‟
8 And again having stooped down, he wrote on the ground.
Og han bøjede sig atter ned og skrev paa Jorden.
9 And they, having heard and being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, having begun from the elder until the last. And Jesus was left behind alone, and the woman being in the midst.
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.
10 And Jesus, after standing erect, and having seen no man but the woman, he said to her, Woman, where are those accusers of thee? Did no man condemn thee?
Men da Jesus rettede sig op og ingen saa uden Kvinden, sagde han til hende: „Kvinde! hvor ere de henne? Var der ingen, som fordømte dig?‟
11 And she said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said to her, Neither do I condemn thee. Go, and henceforth sin no more.
Men hun sagde: „Herre! ingen.‟ Da sagde Jesus: „Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gaa bort, og synd ikke mere!‟]
12 Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, I am the light of the world. He who follows me would, no, not walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.
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.‟
13 The Pharisees therefore said to him, Thou testify about thyself. Thy testimony is not valid.
Da sagde Farisæerne til ham: „Du vidner om dig selv; dit Vidnesbyrd er ikke sandt.‟
14 Jesus answered and said to them, Even if I might testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I go, but ye do not know where I come from and where I go.
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 gaar hen; men I vide ikke, hvorfra jeg kommer, og hvor jeg gaar hen.
15 Ye judge according to the flesh. I judge no man.
I dømme efter Kødet; jeg dømmer ingen.
16 But even if I judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me.
Men om jeg ogsaa dømmer, er min Dom sand; thi det er ikke mig alene, men mig og Faderen, han, som sendte mig.
17 And also it is written in your law that the testimony of two men is valid.
Men ogsaa i eders Lov er der skrevet, at to Menneskers Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
18 I am he who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.
Jeg er den, der vidner om mig selv, og Faderen, som sendte mig, vidner om mig.‟
19 They said therefore to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye know neither me, nor my Father. If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also.
Derfor sagde de til ham: „Hvor er din Fader?‟ Jesus svarede: „I kende hverken mig eller min Fader; dersom I kendte mig, kendte I ogsaa min Fader.‟
20 Jesus spoke these sayings in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no man seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
Disse Ord talte Jesus ved Tempelblokken, da han lærte i Helligdommen; og ingen greb ham, fordi hans Time endnu ikke var kommen.
21 Jesus therefore again said to them, I go, and ye will seek me, and ye will die in your sin. Where I go, ye cannot come.
Da sagde han atter til dem: „Jeg gaar bort, og I skulle lede efter mig, og I skulle dø i eders Synd; hvor jeg gaar hen, kunne I ikke komme.‟
22 The Jews therefore said, Will he kill himself, because he says, Where I go, ye cannot come?
Da sagde Jøderne: „Mon han vil slaa sig selv ihjel, siden han siger: Hvor jeg gaar hen, kunne I ikke komme?‟
23 And he said to them, Ye are from below, I am from above. Ye are of this world, I am not of this world.
Og han sagde til dem: „I ere nedenfra, jeg er ovenfra; I ere af denne Verden, jeg er ikke af denne Verden.
24 I said therefore to you that ye will die in your sins. For unless ye believe that I am he, ye will die in your sins.
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.‟
25 They said therefore to him, Who are thou? And Jesus said to them, The beginning, something that I am even telling you.
De sagde da til ham: „Hvem er du?‟ Og Jesus sagde til dem: „Just det, som jeg siger eder.
26 I have many things to say and to judge about you. But he who sent me is true, and I speak to the world these things that I heard from him.
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.‟
27 They did not understand that he spoke the Father to them.
De forstode ikke, at han talte til dem om Faderen.
28 Jesus therefore said to them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then ye will know that I am he, and I do nothing from myself, but I speak these things as my Father taught me.
Da sagde Jesus til dem: „Naar I faa 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, saaledes taler jeg.
29 And he who sent me is with me. The Father has not left me alone, because I always do things pleasing to him.
Og han, som sendte mig, er med mig; han har ikke ladet mig alene, fordi jeg gør altid det, som er ham til Behag.‟
30 As he spoke these things of him, many believed in him.
Da han talte dette, troede mange paa ham.
31 Jesus therefore said to those Jews who believed him, If ye remain in my word, ye are truly my disciples,
Jesus sagde da til de Jøder, som vare komne til Tro paa ham: „Dersom I blive i mit Ord, ere I sandelig mine Disciple,
32 and ye will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.
og I skulle erkende Sandheden, og Sandheden skal frigøre eder.‟
33 They answered to him, We are Abraham's seed, and have been in bondage to no man, ever. How can thou say, Ye will become free?
De svarede ham: „Vi ere Abrahams Sæd og have aldrig været nogens Trælle; hvorledes siger du da: I skulle vorde frie?‟
34 Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to you, that every man who does the sin is a bondman of the sin.
Jesus svarede dem: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hver den, som gør Synden, er Syndens Træl.
35 And the bondman does not remain in the house into the age. The Son remains into the age. (aiōn g165)
Men Trællen bliver ikke i Huset til evig Tid, Sønnen bliver der til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
36 If therefore the Son should make you free, ye will truly be free.
Dersom da Sønnen faar frigjort eder, skulle I være virkelig frie.
37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed, yet ye seek to kill me, because my word has no place in you.
Jeg ved, at I ere Abrahams Sæd; men I søge at slaa mig ihjel, fordi min Tale ikke finder Rum hos eder.
38 I speak what I have seen from my Father, and ye therefore do what ye have seen from your father.
Jeg taler det, som jeg har set hos min Fader; saa gøre ogsaa I det, som I have hørt af eders Fader.‟
39 They answered and said to him, Abraham is our father. Jesus says to them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.
De svarede og sagde til ham: „Vor Fader er Abraham.‟ Jesus sagde til dem: „Dersom I vare Abrahams Børn, gjorde I Abrahams Gerninger.
40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
Men nu søge I at slaa mig ihjel, et Menneske, der har sagt eder Sandheden, som jeg har hørt af Gud; dette gjorde Abraham ikke.
41 Ye do the works of your father. They said therefore to him, We were not begotten from fornication. We have one Father, God.
I gøre eders Faders Gerninger.‟ De sagde da til ham: „Vi ere ikke avlede i Hor; vi have een Fader, Gud.‟
42 Therefore Jesus said to them, If God were your Father, ye would love me, for I came forth and have come from God. For, neither have I come for myself, but he sent me.
Jesus sagde til dem: „Dersom Gud var eders Fader, da elskede I mig; thi jeg er udgaaet og kommen fra Gud; thi jeg er heller ikke kommen af mig selv, men han har udsendt mig.
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? Because ye cannot hear my word.
Hvorfor forstaa I ikke min Tale? fordi I ikke kunne høre mit Ord.
44 Ye are from the father, the devil, and ye want to do the desires of your father. He was a man-killer from the beginning, and he has not stood in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own, because he is a liar, and the father of it.
I ere af den Fader Djævelen, og eders Faders Begæringer ville I gøre. Han var en Manddraber fra Begyndelsen af, og han staar ikke i Sandheden; thi Sandhed er ikke i ham. Naar han taler Løgn, taler han af sit eget; thi han er en Løgner og Løgnens Fader.
45 And I, because I speak the truth, ye do not believe me.
Men mig tro I ikke, fordi jeg siger Sandheden.
46 Which of you convicts me about sin? And if I speak truth, why do ye not believe me?
Hvem af eder kan overbevise mig om nogen Synd? Siger jeg Sandhed, hvorfor tro I mig da ikke?
47 He who is of God hears the sayings of God. Because of this ye do not hear, because ye are not of God.
Den, som er af Gud, hører Guds Ord; derfor høre I ikke, fordi I ere ikke af Gud.‟
48 Therefore the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say well that thou are a Samaritan, and have a demon?
Jøderne svarede og sagde til ham: „Sige vi ikke med Rette, at du er en Samaritan og er besat?‟
49 Jesus answered, I have no demon, but I honor my Father, and ye dishonor me.
Jesus svarede: „Jeg er ikke besat, men jeg ærer min Fader, og I vanære mig.
50 But I seek not my own glory. He is who seeks and judges.
Men jeg søger ikke min Ære; der er den, som søger den og dømmer.
51 Truly, truly, I say to you, if any man keeps my word, he will, no, not see death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom nogen holder mit Ord, skal han i al Evighed ikke se Døden.‟ (aiōn g165)
52 The Jews therefore said to him, Now we know that thou have a demon. Abraham died, and the prophets, and thou say, If any man keeps my word, he will, no, not taste of death, into the age. (aiōn g165)
Jøderne sagde til ham: „Nu vide vi, at du er besat; Abraham døde og Profeterne, og du siger: Dersom nogen holder mit Ord, han skal i al Evighed ikke smage Døden. (aiōn g165)
53 Are thou greater than our father Abraham who died? And the prophets died. Who do thou make thyself?
Mon du er større end vor Fader Abraham, som jo døde? ogsaa Profeterne døde; hvem gør du dig selv til?‟
54 Jesus answered, If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. My Father is he who glorifies me, of whom ye say, He is our God.
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.
55 And ye do not know him, but I know him. And if I should say that I do not know him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know him and keep his word.
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.
56 Your father Abraham rejoiced that he could see my day, and he saw it, and was glad.
Abraham, eders Fader, frydede sig til at se min Dag, og han saa den og glædede sig.‟
57 The Jews therefore said to him, Thou have not yet fifty years, and thou have seen Abraham?
Da sagde Jøderne til ham: „Du er endnu ikke halvtredsindstyve Aar gammel, og du har set Abraham?‟
58 Jesus said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I am.
Jesus sagde til dem: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, førend Abraham blev til, har jeg været.‟
59 Therefore they took up stones so that they might throw at him, but Jesus was hid, and went out of the temple, having passed through the midst of them, and thus passed on.
Saa toge de Stene for at kaste paa ham; men Jesus skjulte sig og gik ud af Helligdommen.
