John 8
1 except Jesus, who went to the Mount of Olives.
Men Jesus gik til Oliebjerget.
2 But he went again into the Temple Courts early in the morning, and all the people came to 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 Presently, however, the Teachers of the Law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placed her in the middle of the Court,
Men de skriftkloge og Farisæerne føre en Kvinde til ham, greben i Hor, og stille hende frem i Midten.
4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was found in the act of adultery.
Og de sige til ham: "Mester! denne Kvinde er greben i Hor på fersk Gerning.
5 Now Moses, in the Law, commanded us to stone such women to death; what do you say?”
Men Moses bød os i Loven, at sådanne skulle stenes; hvad siger nu du?"
6 They said this to test him, in order to have a charge to bring against him. But Jesus stooped 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 However, as they continued asking him, he raised himself, and said, “Let the person among you who has never done wrong 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 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Og han bøjede sig atter ned og skrev på Jorden.
9 When they heard that, they went out one by one, beginning with the eldest; and Jesus was left alone with the woman in the middle of the Court.
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 Raising himself, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one 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, Sir,” she answered. “Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus “go, and do not sin again.”
Men hun sagde: "Herre! ingen." Da sagde Jesus: "Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gå bort, og synd ikke mere!"
12 Jesus again addressed the people. “I am the light of the world,” he said. “The person who follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”
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 “You are bearing testimony to yourself!” exclaimed the Pharisees, “your testimony is not trustworthy.”
Da sagde Farisæerne til ham: "Du vidner om dig selv; dit Vidnesbyrd er ikke sandt."
14 “Even if I bear testimony to myself,” answered Jesus, “my testimony is trustworthy; for I know where I came from, and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from, nor where I am 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 by appearances; I judge no one.
I dømme efter Kødet; jeg dømmer ingen.
16 Yet, even if I were to judge, my judgment would be trustworthy; because I am not alone, but 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 Why, in your own Law it is said that the testimony of two persons is trustworthy.
Men også i eders Lov er der skrevet, at to Menneskers Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
18 I, who bear testimony to myself, am one, and the Father who sent me also bears testimony to me.”
Jeg er den, der vidner om mig selv, og Faderen, som sendte mig, vidner om mig."
19 “Where is your father, then?” they asked. “You know neither me nor my Father,” replied Jesus. “If you had known me, you would have also known my Father.”
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 These statements Jesus made in the Treasury, while teaching in the Temple Courts. Yet no one arrested him, for his time had not then 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 again spoke to the people. “I am going away,” he said, “and you will look for me, but you will die in your sin; you cannot come where I am 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 “Is he going to kill himself,” the people exclaimed, “that he says – ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
Da sagde Jøderne: "Mon han vil slå sig selv ihjel, siden han siger: Hvor jeg går hen, kunne I ikke komme?"
23 “You,” added Jesus, “are from below, I am from above; you are of this present world, I am not;
Og han sagde til dem: "I ere nedenfra, jeg er ovenfra; I ere af denne Verden, jeg er ikke af denne Verden.
24 and so I told you that you would die in your sins, for, unless you believe that I am what I am, you will 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 “Who are you?” they asked. “Why ask exactly what I have been telling you?” said Jesus.
De sagde da til ham: "Hvem er du?" Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Just det, som jeg siger eder.
26 “I have still much that concerns you to speak of and to pass judgment on; yet he who sent me may be trusted, and I speak to the world only of the things which I have 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 did not understand that he meant the Father.
De forstode ikke, at han talte til dem om Faderen.
28 So Jesus added, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then you will understand that I am what I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but that I say just what the Father has 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 Moreover, he who sent me is with me; he has not left me alone; 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 While he was speaking in this way, many came to believe in him.
Da han talte dette, troede mange på ham.
31 So Jesus went on to say to those who had believed him, “If you remain constant to my message, you are truly 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 and you will find out the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
og I skulle erkende Sandheden, og Sandheden skal frigøre eder."
33 “We are descendants of Abraham,” was their answer, “and have never yet been in slavery to anyone. What do you mean by saying ‘you will 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 “In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “everyone who sins is a slave to sin.
Jesus svarede dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hver den, som gør Synden, er Syndens Træl.
Men Trællen bliver ikke i Huset til evig Tid, Sønnen bliver der til evig Tid. (aiōn g165)
36 If, then, the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
Dersom da Sønnen får frigjort eder, skulle I være virkelig frie.
37 I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you are seeking to put me to death, because my message finds no place in your hearts.
Jeg ved, at I ere Abrahams Sæd; men I søge at slå mig ihjel, fordi min Tale ikke finder Rum hos eder.
38 I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.”
Jeg taler det, som jeg har set hos min Fader; så gøre også I det, som I have hørt af eders Fader."
39 “Our father is Abraham,” was their answer. “If you are Abraham’s children,” replied Jesus, “do what Abraham did.
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, as it is, you are seeking to put me to death – a man who has told you the truth as he heard it from God. Abraham did not act in that way.
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 are doing what your own father does.” “We are not bastards,” they said, “we have one Father – God himself.”
I gøre eders Faders Gerninger." De sagde til ham: "Vi ere ikke avlede i Hor; vi have een Fader, Gud."
42 “If God were your Father,” Jesus replied, “you would have loved me, for I came out from God, and now am here; and I have not come of myself, but he sent me as his messenger.
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 How is it that you do not understand what I say? It is because you cannot bear to listen to my message.
Hvorfor forstå I ikke min Tale? fordi I ikke kunne høre mit Ord.
44 As for you, you are children of your father the devil, and you are determined to do what your father loves to do. He was a murderer from the first, and did not stand by the truth, because there is no truth in him. Whenever he lies, he does what is natural to him; because he is a liar, and the father of lying.
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 But, as for me, it is because I speak the truth to you that you do not believe me.
Men mig tro I ikke, fordi jeg siger Sandheden.
46 Which of you can convict me of sin? Why then don’t you believe me, if I am speaking truth?
Hvem af eder kan overbevise mig om nogen Synd? Siger jeg Sandhed, hvorfor tro I mig da ikke?
47 The person who comes from God listens to God’s teaching; the reason why you do not listen is because you do not come from God.”
Den, som er af Gud, hører Guds Ord; derfor høre I ikke, fordi I ere ikke af Gud."
48 “Aren’t we right, after all,” replied the people, “in saying that you are a Samaritan, and are possessed by a demon?”
Jøderne svarede og sagde til ham: "Sige vi ikke med Rette, at du er en Samaritan og er besat?"
49 “I am not possessed by a demon,” Jesus answered, “but I am honoring my Father; and yet you dishonor me.
Jesus svarede: "Jeg er ikke besat, men jeg ærer min Fader, og I vanære mig.
50 Not that I am seeking honor for myself; there is one who is seeking my honor, and he decides.
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 are sure that you are possessed by a demon,” the people replied. “Abraham died, and so did the prophets; and yet you say ‘If anyone lays my message to heart, they will never know death.’ (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 ancestor Abraham, who died? And the prophets died too. Whom do you make yourself out to be?”
Mon du er større end vor Fader Abraham, som jo døde? også Profeterne døde; hvem gør du dig selv til?"
54 “If I do honor to myself,” answered Jesus, “such honor counts for nothing. It is my Father who does me honor – and you say that he is your 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 and yet you have not learned to know him; but I know him; and, if I were to say that I do not know him, I should be a liar like you; but I do know him, and I lay his message to heart.
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 ancestor Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day; and he did see it, and was glad.”
Abraham, eders Fader, frydede sig til at se min Dag, og han så den og glædede sig."
57 “You are not fifty years old yet,” the people exclaimed, “and have you seen Abraham?”
Da sagde Jøderne til ham: "Du er endnu ikke halvtredsindstyve År gammel, og du har set Abraham?"
58 “In truth I tell you,” replied Jesus, “before Abraham existed I was.”
Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, førend Abraham blev til, har jeg været."
59 At this they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and left the Temple Courts.
Så toge de Sten for at kaste på ham; men Jesus skjulte sig og gik ud af Helligdommen.
