Johannes 12
1 Seks Dage før Påske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
Jesus, therefore, six days before the passover, 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.
They made therefore a supper for him there, and Martha served; but Lazarus was one of those who reclined 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.
Then Mary, taking a pound of ointment of pure spikenard, very costly, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the odor of the ointment.
4 Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:
But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, he who was about to betray him, saith,
5 "Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?"
Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denaries, 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.
And this he said, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and kept the purse, and bore what was put therein.
7 Da sagde Jesus: "Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
Then said Jesus, Let her alone, that she may keep it until the day of my burial.
8 De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."
For the poor ye have always with you, but me ye have not always.
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.
The great multitude of the Jews therefore knew that he was there; and they came, not only on account of Jesus, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he raised from the dead.
10 Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:
But the priests consulted together that they might put Lazarus also to death;
11 thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede på Jesus.
because on his account many of the Jews were going away, and believing 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, a great multitude that had come to the feast, hearing 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!"
took branches of palm-trees, and went forth to meet him, crying aloud, Hosanna! blessed is he who cometh in the name of the Lord, even 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 ass, sat thereon, as it is written,
15 "Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende på en Asenindes Føl."
“Fear not, daughter of Zion! lo! thy king cometh, sitting on an ass'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.
These things his disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus had been glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of 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 multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead bore witness.
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 multitude met him, because they had heard that he had wrought, 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, Ye see that ye effect nothing; o! the world hath 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 who came 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 came therefore to Philip, who was of Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.
22 Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
Philip goeth and telleth Andrew; Andrew and Philip go and tell Jesus.
23 Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: "Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
But Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour hath come that the Son of man should 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 do I say to you, Unless a grain of wheat fall into the ground and die, itself abideth alone; but if it die, it beareth 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 that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world will keep it unto 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 any one be a servant to me, let him follow me; and where I am, there also will my servant be; if any one serve 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 is my soul troubled; and what shall 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 thy name! Then came there a voice from heaven: Yea, I have 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 multitude therefore that stood by, hearing this, said that it thundered. Others said, An angel hath spoken to him.
30 Jesus svarede og sagde: "Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
Jesus answered and said, This voice hath come not for my sake, but for yours.
31 Nu går der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
Now is the judgment of this world; now will the prince of this world be cast out;
32 og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."
and I, if I be lifted up from the earth, shall draw all men to me.
33 Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
This he said, signifying what kind of death he was to 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 multitude therefore answered him, We have heard out of the Law that the Christ abideth for ever; how then dost thou say that 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 is the light among you. Walk while ye have the light, that darkness may not overtake you; and he that walketh in the darkness knoweth not whither he goeth.
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 ye have the light, believe in the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spoke Jesus, and went away, 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 wrought so many signs before them, 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 what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, “Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath 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, because 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 hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; lest they should see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and turn from their ways, and I should heal them.”
41 Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han så hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
These things said Isaiah, 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;
Yet even of the rulers many believed in him; but on account of the Pharisees they did not acknowledge him, lest they should be put of the synagogue;
43 thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
for they loved the glory that is of men more than the glory that is of God.
44 Men Jesus råbte og sagde: "Den, som tror på mig, tror ikke på mig, men på ham, som sendte mig,
But Jesus cried aloud, and said, He that believeth in me, believeth not in me, but in him that sent me;
45 og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
and he that beholdeth me, beholdeth him that 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 a light into the world, that whoever believeth 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 any one hear my words, and keep them not, 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 that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the word that I have spoken, that will judge him in 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.
Because I have not spoken from myself; but the Father who sent me hath himself committed to me what I should say, and what I should speak;
