John 3
1 And there was a man of the Pharisees, his name Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;
Men der var en Mand af Farisæerne, han hed Nikodemus, en Raadsherre iblandt Jøderne.
2 this one came to Him by night and said to Him, “Rabbi, we have known that You have come from God—a teacher, for no one is able to do these signs that You do, if God may not be with him.”
Denne kom til ham om Natten og sagde til ham: „Rabbi! vi vide, at du er en Lærer kommen fra Gud; thi ingen kan gøre disse Tegn, som du gør, uden Gud er med ham.‟
3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born from above, he is not able to see the Kingdom of God”;
Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, uden nogen bliver født paany, kan han ikke se Guds Rige.‟
4 Nicodemus says to Him, “How is a man able to be born, being old? Is he able to enter into the womb of his mother a second time, and to be born?”
Nikodemus siger til ham: „Hvorledes kan et Menneske fødes, naar han er gammel? Mon han kan anden Gang komme ind i sin Moders Liv og fødes?‟
5 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone may not be born of water and the Spirit, he is not able to enter into the Kingdom of God;
Jesus svarede: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, uden nogen bliver født af Vand og Aand, kan han ikke komme ind i Guds Rige.
6 that which has been born of the flesh is flesh, and that which has been born of the Spirit is spirit.
Hvad der er født af Kødet, er Kød; og hvad der er født af Aanden, er Aand.
7 You may not wonder that I said to you, It is required for you to be born from above;
Forundre dig ikke over, at jeg sagde til dig: I maa fødes paany.
8 the Spirit blows where [that] One wills, and you hear [that] One’s voice, but you have not known from where [that] One comes, and to where [that] One goes; thus is everyone who has been born of the Spirit.”
Vinden blæser, hvorhen den vil, og du hører dens Susen, men du ved ikke, hvorfra den kommer, og hvor den farer hen; saaledes er det med hver den, som er født af Aanden.‟
9 Nicodemus answered and said to Him, “How are these things able to happen?”
Nikodemus svarede og sagde til ham: „Hvorledes kan dette ske?‟
10 Jesus answered and said to him, “You are the teacher of Israel and you do not know these things?
Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Er du Israels Lærer og forstaar ikke dette?
11 Truly, truly, I say to you, what We have known We speak, and what We have seen We testify, and you do not receive Our testimony;
Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg dig, vi tale det, vi vide, og vidne det, vi have set; og I modtage ikke vort Vidnesbyrd.
12 if I spoke to you of the earthly things, and you do not believe, how, if I will speak to you of the heavenly things, will you believe?
Naar jeg siger eder de jordiske Ting, og I ikke tro, hvorledes skulle I da tro, naar jeg siger eder de himmelske?
13 And no one has gone up to Heaven, except He who came down out of Heaven—the Son of Man who is in Heaven.
Og ingen er faren op til Himmelen, uden han, som for ned fra Himmelen, Menneskesønnen, som er i Himmelen.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up,
Og ligesom Moses ophøjede Slangen i Ørkenen, saaledes bør Menneskesønnen ophøjes,
15 that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life, (aiōnios g166)
for at hver den, som tror, skal have et evigt Liv i ham. (aiōnios g166)
16 for God so loved the world that He gave the only begotten Son, that everyone who is believing in Him may not perish, but may have continuous life. (aiōnios g166)
Thi saaledes elskede Gud Verden, at han gav sin Søn den enbaarne, for at hver den, som tror paa ham, ikke skal fortabes, men have et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
17 For God did not send His Son into the world that He may judge the world, but that the world may be saved through Him;
Thi Gud sendte ikke sin Søn til Verden, for at han skal dømme Verden, men for at Verden skal frelses ved ham.
18 he who is believing in Him is not judged, but he who is not believing has been judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of the only begotten Son of God.
Den, som tror paa ham, dømmes ikke; men den, som ikke tror, er allerede dømt, fordi han ikke har troet paa Guds enbaarne Søns Navn.
19 And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light, for their works were evil;
Og dette er Dommen, at Lyset er kommet til Verden, og Menneskene elskede Mørket mere end Lyset; thi deres Gerninger vare onde.
20 for everyone who is doing wicked things hates the light, and does not come into the light, that his works may not be detected;
Thi hver den, som øver ondt, hader Lyset og kommer ikke til Lyset, for at hans Gerninger ikke skulle revses.
21 but he who is doing the truth comes into the light, that his works may be revealed, that in God they are having been worked.”
Men den, som gør Sandheden, kommer til Lyset, for at hans Gerninger maa blive aabenbare; thi de ere gjorte i Gud.‟
22 After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He tarried with them, and was immersing;
Derefter kom Jesus og hans Disciple ud i Judæas Land, og han opholdt sig der med dem og døbte.
23 and John was also immersing in Aenon, near to Salem, because there were many waters there, and they were coming and were being immersed—
Men ogsaa Johannes døbte i Ænon, nær ved Salem, fordi der var meget Vand der; og man kom derhen og lod sig døbe.
24 for John was not yet cast into the prison—
Thi Johannes var endnu ikke kastet i Fængsel.
25 there arose then a question from the disciples of John with [some] Jews about purifying,
Da opkom der en Strid imellem Johannes's Disciple og en Jøde om Renselse.
26 and they came to John and said to him, “Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you testified, behold, this One is immersing, and all are coming to Him.”
Og de kom til Johannes og sagde til ham: „Rabbi! han, som var hos dig hinsides Jordan, han, hvem du gav Vidnesbyrd, se, han døber, og alle komme til ham.‟
27 John answered and said, “A man is not able to receive anything if it may not have been given him from Heaven;
Johannes svarede og sagde: „Et Menneske kan slet intet tage, uden det er ham givet fra Himmelen.
28 you yourselves testify to me that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am having been sent before Him;
I ere selv mine Vidner paa, at jeg sagde: Jeg er ikke Kristus, men jeg er udsendt foran ham.
29 He who is having the bride is bridegroom, and the friend of the bridegroom, who is standing and hearing Him, rejoices with joy because of the voice of the bridegroom; this, then, my joy has been fulfilled.
Den, som har Bruden, er Brudgom; men Brudgommens Ven, som staar og hører paa ham, glæder sig meget over Brudgommens Røst. Saa er da denne min Glæde bleven fuldkommen.
30 It is necessary [for] Him to increase, and me to become less;
Han bør vokse, men jeg forringes.
31 He who is coming from above is above all; he who is from the earth, from the earth he is, and from the earth he speaks; He who is coming from Heaven is above all.
Den, som kommer ovenfra, er over alle; den, som er af Jorden, er af Jorden og taler af Jorden; den, som kommer fra Himmelen, er over alle.
32 And what He has seen and heard—this He testifies, and none receives His testimony;
Og det, som han har set og hørt, vidner han; og ingen modtager hans Vidnesbyrd.
33 he who is receiving His testimony sealed that God is true;
Den, som har modtaget hans Vidnesbyrd, har beseglet, at Gud er sanddru.
34 for He whom God sent, He speaks the sayings of God; for God does not give the Spirit by measure;
Thi han, hvem Gud udsendte, taler Guds Ord; Gud giver nemlig ikke Aanden efter Maal.
35 the Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand;
Faderen elsker Sønnen og har givet alle Ting i hans Haand.
36 he who is believing in the Son has continuous life; and he who is not believing the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him.” (aiōnios g166)
Den, som tror paa Sønnen, har et evigt Liv; men den, som ikke vil tro Sønnen, skal ikke se Livet, men Guds Vrede bliver over ham.‟ (aiōnios g166)
