John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
Men Jesus gik til Oliebjerget.
2 Early in the morning he returned to the Temple where many people gathered around him and he sat down and taught them.
og årle om Morgenen kom han igen i Helligdommen, og hele Folket kom til ham; og han satte sig og lærte dem.
3 The religious teachers and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught committing adultery and made her stand before everyone.
Men de skriftkloge og Farisæerne føre en Kvinde til ham, greben i Hor, og stille hende frem i Midten.
4 They said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
Og de sige til ham: "Mester! denne Kvinde er greben i Hor på fersk Gerning.
5 Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. What do you say?”
Men Moses bød os i Loven, at sådanne skulle stenes; hvad siger nu du?"
6 They said this to try and trap Jesus so they could condemn him. But Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
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.
7 They kept on demanding an answer, so he stood up and told them, “Whichever one of you has never sinned may throw the first 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 på hende!"
8 Then he bent down again and went on writing on the ground.
Og han bøjede sig atter ned og skrev på Jorden.
9 When they heard this they began to leave, one by one, starting with the oldest until Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman still standing there.
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 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Where are they? Didn't anybody stay to condemn you?”
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?,"
11 “No one did, sir,” she replied. “I don't condemn you either,” Jesus told her. “Go, and don't sin anymore.”
Men hun sagde: "Herre! ingen." Da sagde Jesus: "Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gå bort, og synd ikke mere!"
12 Jesus spoke again to the people, telling them, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me you won't walk in darkness for you will have the life-giving light.”
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 replied, “You can't be your own witness! What you say doesn't prove anything!”
Da sagde Farisæerne til ham: "Du vidner om dig selv; dit Vidnesbyrd er ikke sandt."
14 “Even if I am my own witness, my testimony is true,” Jesus told them, “for I know where I came from and where I'm going. But you don't know where I came from or where I'm going.
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.
15 You judge in a typically human way, but I don't judge anyone.
I dømme efter Kødet; jeg dømmer ingen.
16 Even if I did judge, my judgment would be right because I am not doing this alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
Men om jeg også dømmer, er min Dom sand; thi det er ikke mig alene, men mig og Faderen, han, som sendte mig.
17 Your own law states that the testimony of two witnesses is valid.
Men også i eders Lov er der skrevet, at to Menneskers Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
18 I am my own witness, and my other witness is my Father who sent me.”
Jeg er den, der vidner om mig selv, og Faderen, som sendte mig, vidner om mig."
19 “Where is your father?” they asked him. “You don't know me or my Father,” Jesus replied. “If you knew me then you would know my Father as well.”
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."
20 Jesus explained this while he was teaching near the Temple treasury. Yet no one arrested him because his time 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 told them again, “I'm leaving, and you'll search for me, but you'll die in your sin. You can't come where I'm going.”
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."
22 The Jews wondered out loud, “Is he going to kill himself? Is that what he means when he says ‘You can't come where I'm going’?”
Da sagde Jøderne: "Mon han vil slå sig selv ihjel, siden han siger: Hvor jeg går hen, kunne I ikke komme?"
23 Jesus told them, “You are from below; I am from above. You 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 That is why I told you that you'll die in your sins. For if you don't trust in me, the ‘I am,’ you'll 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 Then they asked him, “Who are you?” “Exactly who I told you I was from the beginning,” Jesus replied.
De sagde da til ham: "Hvem er du?" Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Just det, som jeg siger eder.
26 “There's much I could say about you, and much I could condemn. But the one who sent me tells the truth, and what I'm saying to you here in this world is what 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 didn't understand that he was talking to them about the Father. So Jesus explained to them:
De forstode ikke, at han talte til dem om Faderen.
28 “When you have lifted up the Son of man then you'll know that I am the ‘I am,’ and that I do nothing of myself, but only say what the Father taught me.
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.
29 The one who sent me is with me; he has not abandoned me, for I always do what pleases 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 Many who heard Jesus say these things put their trust in him.
Da han talte dette, troede mange på ham.
31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who trusted in him, “If you follow my teaching then you really are my disciples.
Jesus sagde da til de Jøder, som vare komne til Tro på ham: "Dersom I blive i mit Ord, ere I sandelig mine Disciple,
32 You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
og I skulle erkende Sandheden, og Sandheden skal frigøre eder."
33 “We're descendants of Abraham! We've never been slaves to anyone,” they answered. “How can you say that we'll be set free?”
De svarede ham: "Vi ere Abrahams Sæd og have aldrig været nogens Trælle; hvorledes siger du da: I skulle vorde frie?"
34 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave of sin.
Jesus svarede dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hver den, som gør Synden, er Syndens Træl.
35 A slave doesn't have a permanent place in the family, but the son is part of the family forever. (aiōn g165)
Men Trællen bliver ikke i Huset til evig Tid, Sønnen bliver der til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
36 If the Son sets you free, then you're truly free.
Dersom da Sønnen får frigjort eder, skulle I være virkelig frie.
37 I know you're Abraham's descendants, yet you're trying to kill me because you refuse to accept my words.
Jeg ved, at I ere Abrahams Sæd; men I søge at slå mig ihjel, fordi min Tale ikke finder Rum hos eder.
38 I'm telling you what the Father has revealed to me, while you do what your father told you.”
Jeg taler det, som jeg har set hos min Fader; så gøre også I det, som I have hørt af eders Fader."
39 “Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you really were children of Abraham, you'd do what Abraham did,” Jesus told them.
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 you are trying to kill me now, because I told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham would never have done that.
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.
41 You're doing what your father does.” “Well we are not illegitimate,” they responded. “God alone is our father!”
I gøre eders Faders Gerninger." De sagde til ham: "Vi ere ikke avlede i Hor; vi have een Fader, Gud."
42 Jesus replied, “If God really was your father, you would love me. I came from God and now I am here. The decision to come wasn't mine, but the one who sent me.
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.
43 Why can't you understand what I'm saying? It's because you refuse to hear my message!
Hvorfor forstå I ikke min Tale? fordi I ikke kunne høre mit Ord.
44 Your father is the Devil, and you love to follow your father's evil desires. He was a murderer from the beginning. He never stood for the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies he reveals his true character, for he's a liar and the father of lies.
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.
45 So because I tell you the truth, you don't believe me!
Men mig tro I ikke, fordi jeg siger Sandheden.
46 Can any one of you prove that I'm guilty of sin? If I'm telling you the truth, why don't you believe me?
Hvem af eder kan overbevise mig om nogen Synd? Siger jeg Sandhed, hvorfor tro I mig da ikke?
47 Anyone who belongs to God listens to what God says. The reason you don't listen is because you don't belong to God.”
Den, som er af Gud, hører Guds Ord; derfor høre I ikke, fordi I ere ikke af Gud."
48 “Aren't we right to call you a Samaritan who is demon-possessed?” said the Jews.
Jøderne svarede og sagde til ham: "Sige vi ikke med Rette, at du er en Samaritan og er besat?"
49 “No, I don't have a demon,” Jesus replied. “I honor my Father, but you dishonor me.
Jesus svarede: "Jeg er ikke besat, men jeg ærer min Fader, og I vanære mig.
50 I'm not here looking to glorify myself. But there is one who does this for me and who judges in my favor.
Men jeg søger ikke min Ære; der er den, som søger den og dømmer.
Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom nogen holder mit Ord, skal han i al Evighed ikke se Døden." (aiōn g165)
52 “Now we know you're demon-possessed,” said the Jews. “Abraham died, and the prophets did too, and you're telling us ‘anyone who follows my teaching will never die’! (aiōn g165)
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)
53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and the prophets died. Who do you think you are?”
Mon du er større end vor Fader Abraham, som jo døde? også Profeterne døde; hvem gør du dig selv til?"
54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory means nothing. But it is God himself who glorifies me, the one you claim, ‘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 You don't know him, but I know him. If I were to say, ‘I don't know him,’ I'd be a liar, just like you. But I do know him, and I do what he says.
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 was delighted as he looked forward to see my coming, and was so happy when he saw it.”
Abraham, eders Fader, frydede sig til at se min Dag, og han så den og glædede sig."
57 The Jews replied, “You're not even fifty years old, and you've seen Abraham?”
Da sagde Jøderne til ham: "Du er endnu ikke halvtredsindstyve År gammel, og du har set Abraham?"
58 “I tell you the truth, before Abraham was born, I am,” said Jesus.
Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, førend Abraham blev til, har jeg været."
59 At this they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus was hidden from them and he left the Temple.
Så toge de Sten for at kaste på ham; men Jesus skjulte sig og gik ud af Helligdommen.
