Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Påske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Then six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, whom Jesus raised from the dead.
2 Der gjorde de da et Aftensmåltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
So they prepared a dinner for him there; and Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those reclining at the table with him.
3 Da tog Maria et Pund af ægte, såre kostbar Nardussalve og salvede Jesu Fødder og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Hår; og Huset blev fuldt af Salvens Duft.
Mary, therefore, took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:
Then Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5 "Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?"
"Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii, and given to the poor?"
6 Men dette sagde han, ikke fordi han brød sig om de fattige, men fordi han var en Tyv og havde Pungen og bar, hvad der blev lagt deri.
Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7 Da sagde Jesus: "Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
But Jesus said, "Leave her alone, that she may keep this for the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."
For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me."
9 En stor Skare af Jøderne fik nu at vide, at han var der; og de kom ikke for Jesu Skyld alene, men også for at se Lazarus, hvem han havde oprejst fra de døde.
A large crowd therefore of the Judeans learned that he was there, and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:
But the chief priests plotted to kill Lazarus also,
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede på Jesus.
because on account of him many of the Jewish people went away and believed in Jesus.
12 Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
On the next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
13 toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og råbte: "Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!"
they took the branches of the palm trees, and went out to meet him, and were shouting, "Hosanna. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel."
14 Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpå, som der er skrevet:
And Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
15 "Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende på en Asenindes Føl."
"Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Look, your King comes, sitting on a donkey's colt."
16 Dette forstode hans Disciple ikke først; men da Jesus var herliggjort, da kom de i Hu, at dette var skrevet om ham, og at de havde gjort dette for ham.
His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that they had done these things to him.
17 Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
The crowd therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and raised him from the dead, was testifying about it.
18 Det var også derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
For this cause also the crowd went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
19 Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: "I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden går efter ham."
The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, "See how you accomplish nothing. Look, the whole world has gone after him."
20 Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gå op for at tilbede på Højtiden.
Now there were certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast.
21 Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: "Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus."
These, therefore, came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, "Sir, we want to see Jesus."
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: "Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
And Jesus answered them, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
24 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.
Truly, truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains by itself alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
25 Den, som elsker sit Liv, skal miste det; og den, som hader sit Liv i denne Verden, skal bevare det til et evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it to everlasting life. (aiōnios g166)
26 Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal også min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.
If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there will my servant also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
27 Nu er min Sjæl forfærdet; og hvad skal jeg sige? Fader, frels mig fra denne Time? Dog, derfor er jeg kommen til denne Time.
"Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? 'Father, save me from this hour?' But for this cause I came to this hour.
28 Fader herliggør dit Navn!" Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: "Både har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det."
Father, glorify your name." Then there came a voice out of the sky, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."
29 Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: "En Engel har talt til ham."
The crowd therefore, who stood by and heard it, said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him."
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: "Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered, "This voice hasn't come for my sake, but for your sakes.
31 Nu går der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
32 og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."
And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw everyone to myself."
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
34 Skaren svarede ham: "Vi have hørt af Loven, at Kristus bliver evindelig, og hvorledes siger da du, at Menneskesønnen bør ophøjes? Hvem er denne Menneskesøn?" (aiōn g165)
The crowd answered him, "We have heard out of the law that the Christ remains forever. Then how can you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?" (aiōn g165)
35 Da sagde Jesus til dem: "Endnu en liden Tid er Lyset hos eder. Vandrer, medens I have Lyset, for at Mørke ikke skal overfalde eder! Og den, som vandrer i Mørket, ved ikke, hvor han går hen.
Jesus therefore said to them, "Yet a little while the light is with you. Walk while you have the light, that darkness does not overtake you. He who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
36 Medens I have Lyset, tror på Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!" Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.
While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become children of light." Jesus said these things, and he departed and hid himself from them.
37 Men endskønt han havde gjort så mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke på ham,
But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
38 for at Profeten Esajas's Ord skulde opfyldes, som han har sagt: "Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os, og for hvem blev Herrens Arm åbenbaret?"
that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke, "Lord, who has believed our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?"
39 Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again,
40 "Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstå med Hjertet og omvende sig, så jeg kunde helbrede dem."
He has blinded their eyes and hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn, and I would heal them.
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han så hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
Isaiah said these things because he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
42 Alligevel var der dog mange, endogså af Rådsherrerne, som troede på ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;
Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
for they loved praise from people more than praise from God.
44 Men Jesus råbte og sagde: "Den, som tror på mig, tror ikke på mig, men på ham, som sendte mig,
Then Jesus shouted out and said, "Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
And he who sees me sees him who sent me.
46 Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror på mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
47 Og om nogen hører mine Ord og ikke vogter på dem, ham dømmer ikke jeg; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at dømme Verden, men for at frelse Verden.
And if anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 Den, som foragter mig og ikke modtager mine Ord, har den, som dømmer ham; det Ord, som jeg har talt, det skal dømme ham på den yderste Dag.
He who rejects me, and does not accept my words, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him on the last day.
49 Thi jeg har ikke talt af mig selv; men Faderen, som sendte mig, han har givet mig Befaling om, hvad jeg skal sige, og hvad jeg skal tale.
For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
