John 12
1 Jesus therefore, six days before the passover, came to Bethany, where was the dead [man] Lazarus, whom Jesus raised from among [the] dead.
Seks Dage før Paaske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
2 There therefore they made him a supper, and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those at table with him.
Der gjorde de da et Aftensmaaltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
3 Mary therefore, having taken a pound of ointment of pure nard of great price, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair, and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
Da tog Maria et Pund af ægte, saare kostbar Nardussalve og salvede Jesu Fødder og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Haar; og Huset blev fuldt af Salvens Duft.
4 One of his disciples therefore, Judas [son] of Simon, Iscariote, who was about to deliver him up, says,
Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forraadte ham:
5 Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?
„Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?‟
6 But he said this, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief and had the bag, and carried what was put into [it].
Men dette sagde han, ikke fordi han brød sig om de fattige, men fordi han var en Tyv og havde Pungen og bar, hvad der blev lagt deri.
7 Jesus therefore said, Suffer her to have kept this for the day of my preparation for burial;
Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
8 for ye have the poor always with you, but me ye have not always.
De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.‟
9 A great crowd therefore of the Jews knew that he was there; and they came, not because of Jesus only, but also that they might see Lazarus whom he raised from among [the] dead.
En stor Skare af Jøderne fik nu at vide, at han var der; og de kom ikke for Jesu Skyld alene, men ogsaa for at se Lazarus, hvem han havde oprejst fra de døde.
10 But the chief priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus also,
Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
11 because many of the Jews went away on his account and believed on Jesus.
thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede paa Jesus.
12 On the morrow a great crowd who came to the feast, having heard that Jesus is coming into Jerusalem,
Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
13 took branches of palms and went out to meet him, and cried, Hosanna, blessed [is] he that comes in the name of [the] Lord, the King of Israel.
toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og raabte: „Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!‟
14 And Jesus, having found a young ass, sat upon it; as it is written,
Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpaa, som der er skrevet:
15 Fear not, daughter of Zion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.
„Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.‟
16 [Now] his disciples knew not these things at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of him, and that they had done these things to him.
Dette forstode hans Disciple ikke først; men da Jesus var herliggjort, da kom de i Hu, at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de havde gjort dette for ham.
17 The crowd therefore that was with him bore witness because he had called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from among [the] dead.
Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
18 Therefore also the crowd met him because they had heard that he had done this sign.
Det var ogsaa derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
19 The Pharisees therefore said to one another, Ye see that ye profit nothing: behold, the world is gone after him.
Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.‟
20 And there were certain Greeks among those who came up that they might worship in the feast;
Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gaa op for at tilbede paa Højtiden.
21 these therefore came to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and they asked him saying, Sir, we desire to see Jesus.
Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: „Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus.‟
22 Philip comes and tells Andrew, [and again] Andrew comes and Philip, and they tell Jesus.
Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them saying, The hour is come that the Son of man should be glorified.
Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except the grain of wheat falling into the ground die, it abides alone; but if it die, it bears much fruit.
Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.
25 He that loves his life shall lose it, and he that hates his life in this world shall keep it to life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
Den, som elsker sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som hader sit Liv i denne Verden, skal bevare det til et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
26 If any one serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also shall be my servant. [And] if any one serve me, him shall the Father honour.
Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal ogsaa min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.
27 Now is my soul troubled, and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour. But on account of this have I come to this hour.
Nu er min Sjæl forfærdet; og hvad skal jeg sige? Fader, frels mig fra denne Time? Dog, derfor er jeg kommen til denne Time.
28 Father, glorify thy name. There came therefore a voice out of heaven, I both have glorified and will glorify [it] again.
Fader, herliggør dit Navn!‟ Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: „Baade har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det.‟
29 The crowd therefore, which stood [there] and heard [it], said that it had thundered. Others said, An angel has spoken to him.
Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: „En Engel har talt til ham.‟
30 Jesus answered and said, Not on my account has this voice come, but on yours.
Jesus svarede og sagde: „Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
31 Now is [the] judgment of this world; now shall the prince of this world be cast out:
Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
32 and I, if I be lifted up out of the earth, will draw all to me.
og jeg skal, naar jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig.‟
33 But this he said signifying by what death he was about to die.
Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
34 The crowd answered him, We have heard out of the law that the Christ abides for ever; and how sayest thou that the Son of man must be lifted up? Who is this, the Son of man? (aiōn g165)
Skaren svarede ham: „Vi have hørt af Loven, at Kristus bliver evindelig, og hvorledes siger da du, at Menneskesønnen bør ophøjes? Hvem er denne Menneskesøn?‟ (aiōn g165)
35 Jesus therefore said to them, Yet a little while is the light amongst you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you. And he who walks in the darkness does not know where he goes.
Da sagde Jesus til dem: „Endnu en liden Tid er Lyset hos eder. Vandrer, medens I have Lyset, for at Mørke ikke skal overfalde eder! Og den, som vandrer i Mørket, ved ikke, hvor han gaar hen.
36 While ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. Jesus said these things, and going away hid himself from them.
Medens I have Lyset, tror paa Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!‟ Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, they believed not on him,
Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
38 that the word of the prophet Esaias which he said might be fulfilled, Lord, who has believed our report? and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
for at Profeten Esajas's Ord skulde opfyldes, som han har sagt: „Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os, og for hvem blev Herrens Arm aabenbaret?‟
39 On this account they could not believe, because Esaias said again,
Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart and be converted, and I should heal them.
„Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.‟
41 These things said Esaias because he saw his glory and spoke of him.
Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
42 Although indeed from among the rulers also many believed on him, but on account of the Pharisees did not confess [him], that they might not be put out of the synagogue:
Alligevel var der dog mange, endogsaa af Raadsherrerne, som troede paa ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;
43 for they loved glory from men rather than glory from God.
thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
44 But Jesus cried and said, He that believes on me, believes not on me, but on him that sent me;
Men Jesus raabte og sagde: „Den, som tror paa mig, tror ikke paa mig, men paa ham, som sendte mig,
45 and he that beholds me, beholds him that sent me.
og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
46 I am come into the world [as] light, that every one that believes on me may not abide in darkness;
Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror paa mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
47 and if any one hear my words and do not keep [them], I judge him not, for I am not come that I might judge the world, but that I might save the world.
Og om nogen hører mine Ord og ikke vogter paa dem, ham dømmer ikke jeg; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at dømme Verden, men for at frelse Verden.
48 He that rejects me and does not receive my words, has him who judges him: the word which I have spoken, that shall judge him in the last day.
Den, som foragter mig og ikke modtager mine Ord, har den, som dømmer ham; det Ord, som jeg har talt, det skal dømme ham paa den yderste Dag.
49 For I have not spoken from myself, but the Father who sent me has himself given me commandment what I should say and what I should speak;
Thi jeg har ikke talt af mig selv; men Faderen, som sendte mig, han har givet mig Befaling om, hvad jeg skal sige, og hvad jeg skal tale.
