John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
Seks Dage før Paaske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
2 So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the 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, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance 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 Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
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 Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal 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 But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.‟
9 A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from 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 plotted to kill Lazarus also,
Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
11 because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.
thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede paa Jesus.
12 On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who 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 donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpaa, som der er skrevet:
15 "Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
„Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.‟
16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about 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 when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
18 For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they 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 among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.‟
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at 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 from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want 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 came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
23 And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
24 Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, 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 who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (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 anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
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 my soul is troubled. And what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came 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 your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, 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, who stood by 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, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
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 the prince of this world will be cast out.
Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
og jeg skal, naar jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig.‟
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should 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 remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this 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 the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
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 you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and 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, yet they did not believe in him,
Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "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 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
40 He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would 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 Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would 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 praise from people more than praise from God.
thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
44 Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who 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 who sees me sees him who sent me.
og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the 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 anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to 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 who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on 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 spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a 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.
