John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I Begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
Dette var i Begyndelsen hos Gud.
3 All things were made through him, and apart from him nothing was made that has been made.
Alle Ting ere blevne til ved det, og uden det blev end ikke een Ting til af det, som er.
4 In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity.
I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.
Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
6 There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.
Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
7 He came as a witness to testify about the light, that all might believe through him.
Denne kom til et Vidnesbyrd, for at han skulde vidne om Lyset, for at alle skulde tro ved ham.
8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.
Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.
Det sande Lys, der oplyser hvert Menneske, var ved at komme til Verden.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, but the world did not recognize him.
Han var i Verden, og Verden er bleven til ved ham, og Verden kendte ham ikke.
11 He came to his own, and those who were his own did not receive him.
Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name,
Men saa mange, som toge imod ham, dem gav han Magt til at vorde Guds Børn, dem, som tro paa hans Navn;
13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
hvilke ikke bleve fødte af Blod, ej heller af Køds Villie, ej heller af Mands Villie, men af Gud.
14 And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only of the Father, full of grace and truth.
Og Ordet blev Kød og tog Bolig iblandt os, og vi saa hans Herlighed, en Herlighed, som en enbaaren Søn har den fra sin Fader, fuld af Naade og Sandhed.
15 John testified about him and shouted out, saying, "This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me, for he was before me.'"
Johannes vidner om ham og raaber og siger: „Ham var det, om hvem jeg sagde: Den, som kommer efter mig, er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.‟
16 For of his fullness we all received, and grace upon grace.
Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
17 For the Law was given through Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The only Son, who is at the Father's side, has made him known.
Ingen har nogen Sinde set Gud; den enbaarne Søn, som er i Faderens Skød, han har kundgjort ham.
19 And this is John's testimony, when the Jewish leaders sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, "Who are you?"
Og dette er Johannes's Vidnesbyrd, da Jøderne sendte Præster og Leviter ud fra Jerusalem, for at de skulde spørge ham: „Hvem er du?‟
20 And he confessed, and did not deny, but he confessed, "I am not the Christ."
Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.‟
21 And they asked him, "What then? Are you Elijah?" And he said, "I am not." "Are you the Prophet?" And he answered, "No."
Og de spurgte ham: „Hvad da? Er du Elias?‟ Han siger: „Det er jeg ikke.‟ „Er du Profeten?‟ Og han svarede: „Nej.‟
22 They said therefore to him, "Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?"
Da sagde de til ham: „Hvem er du? For at vi kunne give dem Svar, som have udsendt os; hvad siger du om dig selv?‟
23 He said, "I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,' as Isaiah the prophet said."
Han sagde: „Jeg er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Jævner Herrens Vej, som Profeten Esajas har sagt.‟
24 (Now they had been sent from the Pharisees.)
Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
25 And they asked him, "Why then do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?"
og de spurgte ham og sagde til ham: „Hvorfor døber du da, dersom du ikke er Kristus, ej heller Elias, ej heller Profeten?‟
26 John answered them, saying, "I baptize in water, but among you stands one whom you do not know.
Johannes svarede dem og sagde: „Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder staar den, I ikke kende,
27 He is the one who comes after me, whose sandal strap I'm not worthy to loosen."
han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
28 These things were done in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
29 The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.
Den næste Dag ser han Jesus komme til sig, og han siger: „Se det Guds Lam, som bærer Verdens Synd!
30 This is he of whom I said, 'After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me, because he existed before me.'
Han er den, om hvem jeg sagde: Efter mig kommer en Mand, som er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.
31 I did not know him, but for this reason I came baptizing in water: that he would be revealed to Israel."
Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde aabenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand.‟
32 And John testified, saying, "I saw the Spirit descending like a dove out of heaven, and it remained on him.
Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: „Jeg har set Aanden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
33 And I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water, he said to me, 'On whomever you will see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'
Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men den, som sendte mig for at døbe med Vand, han sagde til mig: Den, som du ser Aanden dale ned over og blive over, han er den, som døber med den Helligaand.
34 And I have seen and have testified that this is the Chosen One of God."
Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.‟
35 Again, the next day, John was standing with two of his disciples,
Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
36 and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Look, the Lamb of God."
Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!‟
37 And the two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
38 And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"
Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
39 He said to them, "Come, and you will see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon.
„Hvad søge I efter?‟ Men de sagde til ham: „Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?‟
40 One of the two who heard John, and followed him, was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.
Han siger til dem: „Kommer og ser!‟ De kom da og saa, hvor han opholdt sig, og de bleve hos ham den Dag; det var ved den tiende Time.
41 He first found his own brother, Simon, and said to him, "We have found the Messiah." (which is translated, Christ).
Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
42 He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him, and said, "You are Simon the son of John. You will be called Cephas" (which is translated, Peter).
Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias‟ (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
43 On the next day, he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, "Follow me."
Og han førte ham til Jesus. Jesus saa paa ham og sagde: „Du er Simon, Johannes's Søn; du skal hedde Kefas‟ (det er udlagt: Petrus).
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, of the city of Andrew and Peter.
Den næste Dag vilde han drage derfra til Galilæa; og han finder Filip. Og Jesus siger til ham: „Følg mig!‟
45 Philip found Nathanael, and said to him, "We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and the Prophets wrote: Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."
Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
46 And Nathanael said to him, "Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."
Filip finder Nathanael og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet ham, hvem Moses i Loven og ligesaa Profeterne have skrevet om, Jesus, Josefs Søn, fra Nazareth.‟
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and said about him, "Look, a true Israelite in whom there is no deceit."
Og Nathanael sagde til ham: „Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?‟ Filip siger til ham: „Kom og se!‟
48 Nathanael said to him, "How do you know me?" Jesus answered him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."
Jesus saa Nathanael komme til sig, og han siger om ham: „Se, det er sandelig en Israelit, i hvem der ikke er Svig.‟
49 Nathanael answered him, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are King of Israel."
Nathanael siger til ham: „Hvorfra kender du mig?‟ Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Førend Filip kaldte dig, saa jeg dig, medens du var under Figentræet.‟
50 Jesus answered him, "Because I told you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than these."
Nathanael svarede ham: „Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge.‟
51 And he said to him, "Truly, truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man."
Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Tror du, fordi jeg sagde dig, at jeg saa dig under Figentræet? Du skal se større Ting end disse.‟ Og han siger til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle fra nu af se Himmelen aabnet og Guds Engle stige op og stige ned over Menneskesønnen.‟
