John 18
1 After Jesus finished praying, he went across the Kidron Brook, along with [us] disciples, to a grove [of olive trees].
Då Jesus hade detta sagt, gick han ut med sina Lärjungar, öfver den bäcken Kedron; der var en örtagård, i hvilken han ingick, och hans Lärjungar.
2 Judas, who was [about to] enable Jesus’ enemies to seize him, knew that [he would probably be] there. [He knew that because] Jesus often gathered there with us.
Så visste ock Judas, som förrådde honom, rummet; ty Jesus plägade ofta komma dit med sina Lärjungar.
3 So Judas came to that grove. He was leading a troop of Roman [soldiers] and some Temple guards who had been sent by the Pharisees and chief priests. They were carrying torches and lamps and weapons.
Då nu Judas hade tagit med sig skaran, och de öfversta Presternas och Phariseernas tjenare, kom han dit med lyktor, och bloss, och värjor.
4 Jesus knew everything that was about to happen to him. So [as they approached], he stepped forward and asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
Och efter Jesus visste allt det honom vederfaras skulle, gick han fram, och sade till dem: Hvem söken I?
5 They replied to him, “Jesus, the man from Nazareth.” He replied, “That is who I am.” Judas, the one who was enabling his enemies to seize him, was with them.
Svarade de honom: Jesum af Nazareth. Sade Jesus till dem: Jag äret. Stod ock Judas, som honom förrådde, med dem.
6 When Jesus told them, “That is who I am,” they lurched backward and fell down on the ground [because of his power].
När han då sade till dem: Jag äret? stego de tillrygga, och föllo till jordena.
7 He asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus, [the man] from Nazareth.”
Då sporde han dem åter till: Hvem söken I? De sade: Jesum af Nazareth.
8 Jesus replied, “I told you that I am Jesus. So since I am the one you are looking for, allow these [disciples of mine] to go.”
Jesus svarade: Jag sade eder, att det är jag; söken I mig, så låter dessa gå.
9 [This happened] in order that [when they did what he asked them to do], the words would be fulfilled that he had prayed, “I will never lose any of those whom God has brought to me.”
På det de ord skulle varda fullkomnad, som han sagt hade: Af dem du mig gifvit hafver, borttappade jag ingen.
10 Simon Peter had a [long] dagger. So he drew it and [tried to kill] the high priest’s servant, [but he only] cut off the man’s right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
Då hade Simon Petrus ett svärd, och drog det ut, och högg till öfversta Prestens dräng, och högg hans högra öra af; och var drängsens namn Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword [back] into its sheath! (I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer./Do you not think that I must endure what [my] Father wants me to suffer?) [MET, RHQ]”
Då sade Jesus till Petrum: Stick ditt svärd i skidona; skall jag icke dricka den kalken, som min Fader mig gifvit hafver?
12 Then the troop of soldiers, along with their commander and the Jewish Temple guards, seized Jesus. They tied his hands [behind his back].
Men skaran, och höfvitsmannen, och Judarnas tjenare togo fatt på Jesum, och bundo honom;
13 Then they took him first to Annas, [who was previously the high priest]. He was the father-in-law of Caiaphas. Caiaphas was the high priest that year.
Och ledde honom bort, först till Hannas; ty han var Caiphe svär, hvilken i det året var öfverste Prest.
14 Caiaphas was the one who [previously] advised the Jewish [Council] that it would be better if one man died for the sake of the people [than for all the people of the Jewish nation to die].
Och Caiphas var den som hade gifvit Judomen rådet, att det var nyttigt, att en menniska dödde för folket.
15 Simon Peter and [I] were following Jesus. Because the high priest knew [me], [his doorkeeper permitted me] to enter the courtyard.
Och följde Simon Petrus Jesum, och en annar Lärjunge; den samme Lärjungen var känder med öfversta Presten, och gick in med Jesu i öfversta Prestens palats;
16 But Peter [had to] wait outside near the doorway. However, since I knew the high priest, I went back to the doorway and spoke to the girl who was guarding the entrance. Then [she allowed] Peter to come in.
Men Petrus stod utanför dörrene. Då gick den andre Lärjungen ut, som känder var med öfversta Presten, och talade till dörravårdinnan, och hade Petrum in.
17 The servant girl who was guarding the doorway said to Peter, “Surely you are not another disciple of that man [they have arrested], are you?” He said, “I am not.”
Då sade dörravårdinnan till Petrum: Äst icke ock du af denna mansens Lärjungar? Han sade: Jag är det icke.
18 It was cold, so the high priest’s slaves and Temple guards made a charcoal fire and were standing around it to keep warm. Peter was also standing near it, warming himself.
Men drängarna, och tjenarena, som hade gjort en koleld, ty det var kallt, stodo och värmde sig; med dem stod ock Petrus och värmde sig.
19 [While Peter was doing that], the high priest asked Jesus about his disciples and about what he was teaching people.
Då sporde öfverste Presten Jesum om hans Lärjungar, och om hans lärdom.
20 Jesus replied, “I have always spoken where many people [MTY, HYP] could hear me. I have taught them in (the synagogues/their meeting places) and in the Temple courtyard, in places where many [HYP] Jews come together. I have spoken nothing secretly.
Jesus svarade honom: Jag hafver uppenbarliga talat för verldene; jag hafver alltid lärt i Synagogon, och i templet, der alle Judar komma tillsamman; och hemliga hafver jag intet talat.
21 [So] (why are you asking me questions [like this illegally]?/you should not be asking me questions [like this illegally]!) [RHQ] Ask the people who heard what I taught! They certainly know what I said!”
Hvi spor du mig? Spor dem till, som hört hafva, hvad jag hafver talat till dem; si, de veta hvad jag hafver sagt.
22 After Jesus said that, one of the Temple guards standing near him slapped him on his face. He said, “(That is not the way you should answer the high priest!/Is that the way you should answer the high priest?) [RHQ]”
När han detta sade, gaf en af tjenarena, som der när stodo, Jesu en kindpust, sägandes: Skall du så svara öfversta Presten?
23 Jesus replied to him, “If I said something that was contrary [to your laws], you could tell [me that what I said that] was wrong. But because I said only what was right, (you should not be striking me!/why are you striking me?) [RHQ]”
Jesus svarade honom: Hafver jag illa talat, så vittna om ondt; men hafver jag väl talat, hvi slår du mig?
24 Then after Jesus’ hands were tied {after they tied Jesus hands} [again], Annas sent him to Caiaphas, the high priest.
Och Hannas hade sändt honom bundnan till öfversta Presten Caiphas.
25 As Simon Peter was standing warming himself [at the fire], someone else said to him, “You are not one of that man’s disciples, are you?” He denied [that he was], and said, “I am not.”
Men Simon Petrus stod och värmde sig. Då sade de till honom: Äst icke ock du af hans Lärjungar? Han nekade, och sade: Jag är det icke.
26 [Later] one of the high priest’s servants, a man who was a relative of the man whose ear Peter had cut off [before], said to him, “I saw you with that man in the grove [of olive trees], did I not?”
Då sade till honom en af öfversta Prestens tjenare, dens frände, som Petrus hade huggit örat af: Såg icke jag dig med honom i örtagården?
27 Peter again denied it. Immediately a rooster crowed, [as Jesus had said would happen].
Då nekade åter Petrus det; och straxt gol hanen.
28 Then the [Jewish leaders] [SYN] led Jesus from the [home of] Caiaphas to the headquarters [of Pilate, the Roman governor]. It was before dawn. [Pilate was a non-Jew], [and they thought that if they entered his headquarters], they would become unacceptable to God {God would reject them}, [and as a result] they would not be able to eat [the food during] the Passover [celebration]. [Because of that, they did not want to enter Pilate’s headquarters].
Då ledde de Jesum ifrå Caiphas inför Rådhuset, och det var om morgonen; och de gingo icke in i Rådhuset, att de icke skulle varda besmittade, utan att de måtte äta Påskalambet.
29 So Pilate came out to [talk to] them. He said, “What law do you say that this man has disobeyed?”
Då gick Pilatus ut till dem, och sade: Hvad klagomål hafven I emot denna mannen?
30 [They knew that Jesus had not disobeyed any Roman law, so they did not want to answer him. Instead], they said, “If this man were not a criminal, we would not have brought him to you!”
Då svarade de, och sade till honom: Vore han icke en ogerningsman, så hade vi icke öfverantvardat dig honom.
31 Then Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves, and judge him according to your own laws!” Then the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] said, “[No! We want him executed, but we want you Romans to execute him, because] we Jews have no right to execute anyone!”
Då sade Pilatus till dem: Tager I honom, och dömer honom efter edor lag. Då sade till honom Judarna: Oss är icke lofligt att döda någon;
32 [The Romans executed people by nailing them to a cross]. [So], as a result of what [the Jewish leaders said], it was fulfilled {[the Romans] would fulfill} what Jesus had said previously about the way he was going to die.
På det Jesu tal skulle fullkomnas, som han sagt hade, då han gaf tillkänna, med hvad död han dö skulle.
33 Pilate then went back inside his headquarters. He summoned Jesus. [Because the Jewish leaders had said that Jesus claimed to be a king], Pilate said to Jesus [scornfully], “Are you the king of the Jews?”
Då gick Pilatus åter in i Rådhuset, och kallade Jesum, och sade till honom: Äst du Judarnas Konung?
34 Jesus replied, “Are you asking that because you yourself [want to know if I claim to be a king], or because (someone else/Caiaphas) said [that I claim to be their king]?”
Jesus svarade: Säger du det af dig sjelf, eller hafva andre sagt dig det om mig?
35 Pilate replied, “I am not a Jew, [so] ([I cannot understand these matters!/how can I understand these matters]?) [RHQ] It was your fellow Jews and your chief priests who brought you to me! What have you done [to make them want to execute you]?”
Pilatus svarade: Icke är jag en Jude; ditt folk, och de öfverste Presterna, hafva dig mig öfverantvardat; hvad hafver du gjort?
36 Jesus replied, “It is not people in [MTY] this world who are [making me] king. If it was people in this world who were making me a king, my disciples would have fought in order that the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] would be prevented {to prevent the Jewish [leaders] [SYN]} from seizing me. But it is not [someone here in] this world who is making me a king.”
Jesus svarade: Mitt rike är icke af denna verldene; om mitt rike vore af denna verldene, då fäktade ju mine tjenare derom, att jag icke vorde Judomen öfverantvardad; men mitt rike är icke hädan.
37 Then Pilate said to him, “So [are you saying that] you are a king?” Jesus replied, “[Yes], what you have said about my being a king [is correct]. I was born to become a king, and I came into this world to tell people the truth [about God]. Everyone who [believes] the truth pays attention to what I say.”
Då sade Pilatus till honom: Så äst du dock en Konung? Jesus svarade: Du säger det; jag är en Konung; dertill är jag född, och är dertill kommen i verldena, att jag skall vittna med sanningene. Hvar och en, som är af sanningene, han hörer mina röst.
38 Pilate said to him, “[How can anyone know] what the truth is?” After he said that, he went outside and talked to the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] again. He said to them, “I do not find that he has done anything at all for which I should punish him.
Sade Pilatus till honom: Hvad är sanning? Och när han det sagt hade, gick han åter till Judarna, och sade till dem: Jag finner ingen sak med honom.
39 But you [Jews] customarily, [every year] during the Passover [celebration], ask me to release for you [someone who is in prison]. So would you like for me to release for you the [man who you] Jews [say is your] king?”
I hafven sedvänjo, att jag skall gifva eder en lös om Påska; viljen I då icke, att jag skall gifva eder Judarnas Konung lös?
40 They shouted again, “No, do not [release] this man! Instead, [release] Barrabas!” But Barrabas was [in prison because he was] a revolutionist!
Åter ropade de alle, och sade: Icke denna, utan Barabbam. Och Barabbas var en röfvare.
