John 12
1 Six days before the Passover [celebration started], Jesus arrived in Bethany [village, along with us]. That was where Lazarus lived. He was the man Jesus [previously] caused to be alive again after he died.
Sex dagar för Påska kom Jesus till Bethanien, der Lazarus hade varit död, den han uppväckte ifrå de döda.
2 There they gave a dinner to [honor] Jesus. Martha served the meal. [Her younger brother], Lazarus, was among the people who were eating with Jesus.
Der gjorde de honom en nattvard; och Martha tjente, men Lazarus var en af dem som med honom vid bord såto.
3 Then Mary took [a bottle] of expensive perfume [called] nard and poured it on Jesus’ feet [to honor him]. Then she wiped his feet with her hair. The whole house was filled with the [beautiful] smell of the perfume.
Då tog Maria ett pund smörjelse, af kosteligit oförfalskadt nardus, och smorde Jesu fötter, och torkade hans fötter med sitt hår; och huset uppfylldes med lukt af smörjelsen.
4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]) objected. He was the one who later enabled Jesus’ enemies to seize him.
Då sade en af hans Lärjungar, Judas Simons Ischarioth, som honom förråda skulle:
5 He said, “(We should have sold this perfume and given [the money] to poor people!/Why did [we] not sell this perfume and give [the money for it] to the poor people?) [RHQ] We could have gotten 300 days’ wages for it!”
Hvi vardt icke denna smörjelsen såld för trehundrade penningar, och gifvet fattigom?
6 He said that, not because he cared about the poor people, but instead, because he was a thief. He was the one who kept the bag [of funds that people gave to help Jesus and us his disciples], and he often stole some of the money that was {that [people]} put into it.
Det sade han, icke att honom vårdade något om de fattiga; utan förty han var en tjuf, och hade pungen, och bar det gifvet vardt.
7 Then Jesus said, “Do not bother her! [She bought this perfume] in order to save it until the day when they will bury me [after I die].
Då sade Jesus: Låt henne blifva; hon hafver det bevarat till mins begrafvelses dag,
8 There will always be poor people among you, [so you can help them whenever you want to]. But I will not be with you much longer, [so it is good that she showed right now how much she appreciates me].”
Ty I hafven alltid fattiga när eder; men mig hafven I icke alltid.
9 A large crowd of Jews heard [people say] that Jesus was there [in Bethany]. So they came, not only [to see] Jesus but also to see Lazarus, the man whom he had caused to become alive again after he died.
Så förnam mycket folk af Judarna, att han var der; och kommo dit, icke allenast för Jesu skull, utan ock att de skulle se Lazarum, den han uppväckt hade ifrå de döda.
10 So the chief priests decided to kill Lazarus also,
Då rådslogo de öfverste Presterna, att de ock skulle dräpa Lazarum;
11 because many of the Jews were [deserting them and] going to Jesus and believing in him because of [Jesus causing] Lazarus [to be alive again].
Ty månge af Judarna gingo bort för hans skull, och trodde på Jesum.
12 The next day the huge crowd of people that had come [to Jerusalem] for the [Passover] celebration heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem.
Dagen derefter, när folket, som då mycket kommet var till högtidsdagen, hörde att Jesus kom till Jerusalem;
13 So they [cut] branches from some palm trees and took the branches out [of the city] to [wave them when they] met him. Some of them were shouting things like, “Hooray!” “May the Lord [God] bless the one who is coming with his authority [MTY]!” Some other people were shouting, “[May God bless] the King of Israel!”
Togo de palmqvistar, och gingo ut emot honom, och ropade: Hosianna! Välsignad han, som kommer i Herrans Namn, Israels Konung.
14 When Jesus [came near to Jerusalem], he got a young donkey and sat on it [as he rode into the city]. By doing this, [he fulfilled] what had been written {what [a prophet] had written} [in Scripture],
Och fick Jesus ena åsninno, och satte sig deruppå; såsom skrifvet är:
15 You people of Jerusalem, do not be afraid! Look! Your king is coming! He is riding on a donkey’s colt!
Räds icke, du dotter Zion; si, din Konung kommer, sittandes på en åsninnos fåla.
16 At first [we] disciples did not understand those things. But after Jesus had returned to heaven, we realized that those things had been written {that [a prophet] had written those things} about him, and that [by] doing those things for him [the people had fulfilled what the prophet prophesied].
Detta förstodo hans Lärjungar icke med det första; utan då Jesus var förklarad, kommo de ihåg, att detta var skrifvet om honom, och att de hade detta gjort honom.
17 The crowd that was with him continued to tell other people that he called Lazarus to come out of the tomb, [and that Lazarus had then become alive again].
Vittnade ock folket om honom, som med honom varit hade, när han kallade Lazarum utaf grafvene, och väckte honom upp ifrå de döda.
18 Because of that, many people, because they heard [others say] that he had performed this miracle, went to meet him.
Fördenskull kom ock folket emot honom, att de hörde, han hade gjort det tecknet.
19 So the Pharisees said to each other, “It is obvious that we are making no progress [in trying to stop him! It looks like] [HYP] everyone [MTY] is becoming his disciple!”
Då sade Phariseerna emellan sig: I sen, att I intet kunnen skaffa; si, hela verlden löper efter honom.
20 Among those who went up [to Jerusalem] to worship [God] during the [Passover] celebration were some Greeks.
Voro ock någre Greker, af dem som uppfarne voro, att tillbedja i högtidene;
21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida [town] in Galilee [province]. They [wanted him] to do something for them. They said, “Sir, we would like to talk with Jesus.”
De gingo till Philippum, som var af Bethsaida i Galileen, och bådo honom, sägande: Herre, vi vilje se Jesum.
22 So after Philip went and told that to Andrew, they both went and told Jesus.
Philippus kom, och sade det för Andreas; Andreas och Philippus sade det åter till Jesum.
23 Then, [to show them that he must die in order to give eternal life to non-Jews like those Greeks], Jesus replied to them, “It is time for [God] to honor me, the one who came from heaven. [That will happen when I die].
Jesus svarade dem, sägandes: Tiden är kommen, att menniskones Son skall varda förklarad.
24 Listen to this carefully: [My life is like a seed] [MET]. If [someone] does not plant a kernel of grain in the ground, it does not change. It remains only one [seed]. But if it changes [after it is planted in the ground, it will grow and] produce many seeds.
Sannerliga, sannerliga säger jag eder: Utan hvetekornet, som faller i jordena, varder dödt, så blifver det allena; men varder det dödt, så bär det mycken frukt.
25 Anyone who strongly wants to keep on living [here on earth] will surely lose his life forever. But anyone who is willing to die [HYP] [for my sake] will surely gain eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
Hvilken som älskar sitt lif, han skall mista det; och hvilken som hatar sitt lif i denna verldene, han skall behålla det till evinnerligit lif. (aiōnios g166)
26 If [any of these Greeks or] anyone [else] wants to serve me, they must become my disciples. Then, [after they die], they will be where I am, [in heaven]. My Father will honor all those who serve me.
Den mig tjenar, han följe mig; och hvar jag är, der skall ock min tjenare vara. Hvilken mig tjenar, honom skall min Fader ära.
27 Now I am deeply disturbed. (I do not know what to say./What shall I say?) [RHQ] Should I say, ‘[My] Father, save me from this time [when I will suffer and die!’]? No, [I should not say that, because] the reason I came ([into this world/from heaven]) was that I would [suffer] [MTY] now.
Nu är min själ bedröfvad; och hvad skall jag säga? Fader, hjelp mig utu denna stundene. Dock är jag fördenskull kommen till denna stundena.
28 My Father, show how great you are!” John 12:28b-36a Then [God] spoke [EUP] from heaven, saying, “I have already shown how great [I am], and I will do it again!”
Fader, förklara ditt Namn. Då kom en röst af himmelen, och sade: Jag hafver det förklarat, och skall ännu förklarat.
29 The crowd that was there heard [it but they did not understand the words. Some said] it was thunder. Others said an angel had spoken to him.
Folket, som stod och hörde det, sade: Det var en tordön. Somlige sade: En Ängel talade med honom.
30 Jesus replied to them, “The voice that you heard speaking [was God’s voice, but] it was not for my benefit. It was for your benefit!
Svarade Jesus, och sade: Denna rösten kom icke för mina skull, utan för edra skull.
31 Now is the time for [God] to judge [the people in] [MTY] the world. Now is the time when [I] will destroy [the power of Satan], the one who rules this world.
Nu går domen öfver denna verldena; nu skall denna verldenes Förste utkastas.
32 But as for me, when I am lifted {when [men] lift me} up from the ground [on a cross, I will make a way for] gathering everyone to myself.”
Och om jag varder upphöjd ifrå jordene, skall jag draga alla till mig.
33 He said this to show us the way in which he was going to die.
Men det sade han, till att beteckna med hvad död han dö skulle.
34 [Someone in] the crowd answered him, “We understand from the Scriptures that the Messiah will live forever. So why do you say that the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], will be lifted up {that [men] will lift up the one who came from heaven, [who is the Messiah], } on a cross? What kind of man who came from heaven are you [talking about]? (OR, That’s not the [kind] of Messiah [we are expecting]!)” (aiōn g165)
Svarade honom folket: Vi hafva hört af lagen, att Christus blifver evinnerliga; huru säger då du, menniskones Son måste upphöjas? Ho är denne menniskones Son? (aiōn g165)
35 Then Jesus said to them, “[My message is like] [MET] a light for you. [I] will be with you for only a little while longer. Live and act [as you should] while I am still with you, [because suddenly you will have no more opportunity to hear my message! You do not want to be like] [MET] [someone] who cannot see where he is going any more [when it suddenly] becomes dark!
Då sade Jesus till dem: Än är Ljuset med eder till en kort tid; vandrer medan I hafven Ljuset, att mörkret begriper eder icke. Hvilken som vandrar i mörkret, han vet icke hvart han går.
36 Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” John 12:36b-43 After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.
Medan I hafven Ljuset, tror på Ljuset, att I mågen blifva Ljusens barn. Detta sade Jesus; och gick bort, och dolde sig för dem.
37 Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, [most of] them refused to believe that he [is] ([the Messiah/from God]).
Och ändock han gjorde så mång tecken för dem, likväl trodde de intet på honom;
38 [Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that] the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, (hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?) [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!
Att det talet skulle fullkomnas, som Esaias Propheten sagt hade: Herre, ho tror vår predikan; och hvem är Herrans arm uppenbarad?
39 That was the reason why they were unable to believe. [It was like] Isaiah wrote somewhere else that God said:
Derföre kunde de icke tro; ty Esaias hafver åter sagt:
40 They have [refused to understand; they acted as though they were] blind people! They were insensible in their inner beings! As a result, they have not perceived [my truth]! They have not understood it in their inner beings! They have not turned [from their sinful lives], and because of that I cannot help them!
Han hafver förblindat deras ögon, och förhärdat deras hjerta; att de icke skola se med ögonen, och icke förstå med hjertat, och omvända sig, att jag måtte hela dem.
41 Isaiah wrote that because [it was as though] he saw [ahead of time] how great Jesus would be, and he prophesied [those things] about him.
Detta sade Esaias, när han såg hans härlighet, och talade om honom.
42 Although most of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] did not believe that Jesus is ([the Messiah/from God]), some of them believed in him. But they would not tell anyone that they believed in him, because [they were afraid that if they said that], the Pharisees would not let them worship in the synagogues.
Dock likväl trodde ock månge af de öfversta på honom; men de bekände det icke, för de Phariseers skull, att de icke skulle utkastas af Synagogon.
43 They wanted people to praise them more than they wanted God to praise them.
Ty de höllo mer af menniskors pris, än af Guds pris.
44 [Another day, when] Jesus [was teaching the people, he] shouted, “Those who believe in me, they are not believing in [me alone]. Instead, [it is as though] they also believe in the one who sent me.
Då ropade Jesus, och sade: Den som tror på mig, han tror icke på mig, utan på honom som mig sändt hafver.
45 When they see me [and what I am doing, it is as though] they are seeing the one who sent me.
Och den mig ser, han ser honom som mig sändt hafver.
46 I have come into the world [to show people God’s truth], as a light [shows people what is around them]. I have come in order that people who believe in me will not remain [ignorant of God’s truth] [MET], [as those who are] in the darkness [are ignorant of what is around them].
Jag är kommen i verldena för ett Ljus, att hvar och en, som tror på mig, skall icke blifva i mörkret.
47 As for those who hear my message but do not obey [its commands], I am not [the one who] judges them. [The main reason] that I came ([into the world/from heaven]) was not to judge [the people of] [MTY] the world. Instead, I came to save them [from being punished for their sins].
Och hvilken som hörer min ord, och icke tror, icke dömer jag honom; ty jag är icke kommen till att döma verldena; utan att jag skall frälsa verldena.
48 There is something that will judge those who reject me and do not accept my message. On the judgment day [God] will condemn them [because they rejected] the message that I have told them.
Hvilken mig föraktar, och tager icke min ord, han hafver den honom döma skall; det talet, jag talat hafver, skall döma honom på yttersta dagen.
49 I have not said things from my own [authority]. Instead, [my] Father, the one who sent me, instructed me what to say and how I should say it.
Ty jag hafver icke talat af mig sjelf; utan Fadren, som mig sändt hafver, han hafver budit mig hvad jag skall säga, och hvad jag skall tala.
50 I know that [paying attention to] what he has instructed us [leads to] eternal life. So whatever I say is exactly (OR, only) what [my] Father has told me to say.” (aiōnios g166)
Och jag vet, att hans bud är evinnerligit lif; derföre, hvad jag talar, det talar jag såsom Fadren hafver sagt mig. (aiōnios g166)
