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 This one was in the beginning with God.
Dette var i Begyndelsen hos Gud.
3 All things were made through him, and without him there was not one thing 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 men.
I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.
Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
6 There was a man who was 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 John was not the light, but came that he might testify about the light.
Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
9 The true light, which gives light to all men, 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, and the world did not know him.
Han var i Verden, og Verden er bleven til ved ham, og Verden kendte ham ikke.
11 He came to his own, and his own did not receive him.
Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
12 But to as many as received him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.
Men så mange, som toge imod ham, dem gav han Magt til at vorde Guds Børn, dem, som tro på hans Navn;
13 These were not born 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 The Word became flesh and lived among us. We have seen his glory, glory as of the one and only who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Og Ordet blev Kød og tog Bolig iblandt os, og vi så hans Herlighed, en Herlighed, som en enbåren Søn har den fra sin Fader, fuld af Nåde og Sandhed.
15 John testified about him and cried out, saying, “This was the one of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is greater than I am, for he was before me.'”
Johannes vidner om ham og råber 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 from his fullness we have all received grace after grace.
Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Nåde over Nåde.
17 For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Nåden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
18 No one has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has made him known.
Ingen har nogen Sinde set Gud; den enbårne Søn, som er i Faderens Skød, han har kundgjort ham.
19 This is the testimony of John when the Jews sent priests and Levites to him 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 He confessed—he did not deny, but confessed—”I am not the Christ.”
Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: "Jeg er ikke Kristus."
21 So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” They said, “Are you the prophet?” 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 Then they said to him, “Who are you, so that we may give an answer 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 a voice, crying in the wilderness: 'Make the way of the Lord straight,' just as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Han sagde: "Jeg er en Røst af en, som råber i Ørkenen: Jævner Herrens Vej, som Profeten Esajas har sagt."
24 Now some from the Pharisees were sent,
Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
25 and they asked him and said to him, “Why do you baptize then 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 with water. But among you stands someone you do not know.
Johannes svarede dem og sagde: "Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder står den, I ikke kende,
27 He is the one who comes after me, the strap of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie.”
han som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse."
28 These things were done in Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Look, there is 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 the one of whom I said, 'The one who comes after me is more than me, for he was 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 it was so that he could be revealed to Israel that I came baptizing with water.”
Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde åbenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand."
32 John testified, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending like a dove from heaven, and it stayed upon him.
Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: "Jeg har set Ånden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
33 I did not recognize him, but he who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'Upon whom you shall see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, he is the one baptizing 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 Ånden dale ned over og blive over, han er den, som døber med den Helligånd.
34 I have both seen and testified that this is the Son of God.”
Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn."
35 Again, the next day, as John was standing with two of his disciples,
Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
36 they saw Jesus walking by, and John said, “Look, the Lamb of God!”
Og idet han så på Jesus, som gik der, siger han: "Se det Guds Lam!"
37 His two disciples heard him say this and they followed Jesus.
Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
38 Then Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What do you want?” They replied, “Rabbi (which translated means teacher), where are you staying?”
Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han så dem følge sig, siger han til dem: "Hvad søge I efter?" Men de sagde til ham: "Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?"
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” Then they came and saw where he was staying; they stayed with him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.
Han siger til dem: "Kommer og ser!" De kom da og så, hvor han opholdt sig, og de bleve hos ham den Dag; det var ved den Tiende Time.
40 One of the two who heard John speak and then followed Jesus was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter.
Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
41 He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah” (which translated is: Christ).
Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: "Vi have fundet Messias" (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
42 He brought him to Jesus, and Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon son of John. You will be called Cephas” (which is translated Peter).
Og han førte ham til Jesus. Jesus så på ham og sagde: "Du er Simon, Johannes's Søn; du skal hedde Kefas" (det er udlagt: Petrus).
43 The next day, when Jesus wanted to leave to go to Galilee, he found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.”
Den næste Dag vilde han drage derfra til Galilæa; og han finder Filip. Og Jesus siger til ham: "Følg mig!"
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
45 Philip found Nathaniel and said to him, “He of whom Moses wrote in the law, and the prophets, we have found him: Jesus son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
Filip finder Nathanael og siger til ham: "Vi have fundet ham, hvem Moses i Loven og ligeså Profeterne have skrevet om, Jesus, Josefs Søn, fra Nazareth."
46 Nathaniel said to him, “Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Og Nathanael sagde til ham: "Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?" Filip siger til ham: "Kom og se!"
47 Jesus saw Nathaniel coming to him and said about him, “See, a true Israelite, in whom is no deceit!”
Jesus så Nathanael komme til sig, og han siger om ham: "Se, det er sandelig en Israelit, i hvem der ikke er Svig."
48 Nathaniel said to him, “How do you know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Nathanael siger til ham: "Hvorfra kender du mig?" Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: "Førend Filip kaldte dig, så jeg dig, medens du var under Figentræet."
49 Nathaniel replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!”
Nathanael svarede ham: "Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge."
50 Jesus replied and said to him, “Because I said to you, 'I saw you underneath the fig tree,' do you believe? You will see greater things than this.”
Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: "Tror du, fordi jeg sagde dig, at jeg så dig under Figentræet? Du skal se større Ting end disse."
51 Then he said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
Og han siger til ham: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle fra nu af se Himmelen åbnet og Guds Engle stige op og stige ned over Menneskesønnen."
