Johannes 8
1 Men Jesus gik til Oliebjerget.
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 og årle om Morgenen kom han igen i Helligdommen, og hele Folket kom til ham; og han satte sig og lærte dem.
Early in the morning he came to the temple again, and all the people came; he sat down and taught them.
3 Men de skriftkloge og Farisæerne føre en Kvinde til ham, greben i Hor, og stille hende frem i Midten.
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery. They placed her in the middle.
4 Og de sige til ham: "Mester! denne Kvinde er greben i Hor på fersk Gerning.
Then they said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.
5 Men Moses bød os i Loven, at sådanne skulle stenes; hvad siger nu du?"
Now in the law, Moses commanded us to stone such people; what do you say about her?”
6 Men dette sagde de for at friste ham, for at de kunde have noget at anklage ham for. Men Jesus bøjede sig ned og skrev med Fingeren på Jorden.
They said this in order to trap him so that they might have something to accuse him about, but Jesus bent down and wrote on the ground with his finger.
7 Men da de bleve ved at spørge ham, rettede han sig op og sagde til dem: "Den iblandt eder, som er uden Synd, kaste først Stenen på hende!"
When they continued asking him questions, he stood up and said to them, “The one among you who has no sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Og han bøjede sig atter ned og skrev på Jorden.
Again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground with his finger.
9 Men da de hørte det, gik de bort, den ene efter den anden, fra de ældste til de yngste, og Jesus blev alene tilbage med Kvinden, som stod der i Midten.
When they heard it, they left one by one, beginning with the oldest. Finally Jesus was left alone, with the woman who had been in the middle.
10 Men da Jesus rettede sig op og ingen så uden Kvinden, sagde han til hende: "Kvinde! hvor ere de henne? Var der ingen, som fordømte dig?,"
Jesus stood up and said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?”
11 Men hun sagde: "Herre! ingen." Da sagde Jesus: "Heller ikke jeg fordømmer dig; gå bort, og synd ikke mere!"
She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more.”]
12 Jesus talte da atter til dem og sagde: "Jeg er Verdens Lys; den, som følger mig, skal ikke vandre i Mørket, men have Livets Lys."
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”
13 Da sagde Farisæerne til ham: "Du vidner om dig selv; dit Vidnesbyrd er ikke sandt."
The Pharisees said to him, “You bear witness about yourself; your witness is not true.”
14 Jesus svarede og sagde til dem: "Om jeg end vidner om mig selv. er mit Vidnesbyrd sandt; thi jeg ved, hvorfra jeg kom, og hvor jeg går hen; men I vide ikke, hvorfra jeg kommer, og hvor jeg går hen.
Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness about myself, my witness is true. I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I came from or where I am going.
15 I dømme efter Kødet; jeg dømmer ingen.
You judge according the flesh; I judge no one.
16 Men om jeg også dømmer, er min Dom sand; thi det er ikke mig alene, men mig og Faderen, han, som sendte mig.
Yet if I judge, my judgment is true because I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.
17 Men også i eders Lov er der skrevet, at to Menneskers Vidnesbyrd er sandt.
Yes, and in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 Jeg er den, der vidner om mig selv, og Faderen, som sendte mig, vidner om mig."
I am he who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me.”
19 Derfor sagde de til ham: "Hvor er din Fader?" Jesus svarede: "I kende hverken mig eller min Fader; dersom I kendte mig, kendte I også min Fader."
They said to him, “Where is your father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father; if you had known me, you would have known my Father also.”
20 Disse Ord talte Jesus ved Tempelblokken, da han lærte i Helligdommen; og ingen greb ham, fordi hans Time endnu ikke var kommen.
He said these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple, and no one arrested him because his hour had not yet come.
21 Da sagde han atter til dem: "Jeg går bort, og I skulle lede efter mig, og I skulle dø i eders Synd; hvor jeg går hen, kunne I ikke komme."
So again he said to them, “I am going away; you will seek me and will die in your sin. Where I am going, you cannot come.”
22 Da sagde Jøderne: "Mon han vil slå sig selv ihjel, siden han siger: Hvor jeg går hen, kunne I ikke komme?"
The Jews said, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, 'Where I am going you cannot come'?”
23 Og han sagde til dem: "I ere nedenfra, jeg er ovenfra; I ere af denne Verden, jeg er ikke af denne Verden.
Jesus said to them, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.
24 Derfor har jeg sagt eder, at I skulle dø i eders Synder; thi dersom I ikke tro, at det er mig, skulle I dø i eders Synder."
Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I AM, you will die in your sins.”
25 De sagde da til ham: "Hvem er du?" Og Jesus sagde til dem: "Just det, som jeg siger eder.
They said therefore to him, “Who are you?” Jesus said to them, “What I have said to you from the beginning.
26 Jeg har meget at tale og dømme om eder; men den, som sendte mig, er sanddru, og hvad jeg har hørt af ham, det taler jeg til Verden."
I have many things to speak and to judge about you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things that I heard from him, these things I say to the world.”
27 De forstode ikke, at han talte til dem om Faderen.
They did not understand that he was speaking to them about the Father.
28 Da sagde Jesus til dem: "Når I få ophøjet Menneskesønnen, da skulle I kende, at det er mig, og at jeg gør intet af mig selv; men som min Fader har lært mig, således taler jeg.
Jesus said, “When you have lifted up the Son of Man, then will you know that I AM, and that I do nothing of myself. As the Father taught me, I speak these things.
29 Og han, som sendte mig, er med mig; han har ikke ladet mig alene, fordi jeg; gør altid det, som er ham til Behag."
He who sent me is with me, and he has not left me alone, because I always do what is pleasing to him.”
30 Da han talte dette, troede mange på ham.
As Jesus was saying these things, many believed in him.
31 Jesus sagde da til de Jøder, som vare komne til Tro på ham: "Dersom I blive i mit Ord, ere I sandelig mine Disciple,
Jesus said to those Jews who had believed him, “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples;
32 og I skulle erkende Sandheden, og Sandheden skal frigøre eder."
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
33 De svarede ham: "Vi ere Abrahams Sæd og have aldrig været nogens Trælle; hvorledes siger du da: I skulle vorde frie?"
They answered him, “We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves of anyone; how can you say, 'You will be set free'?”
34 Jesus svarede dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hver den, som gør Synden, er Syndens Træl.
Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is the slave of sin.
The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. (aiōn g165)
36 Dersom da Sønnen får frigjort eder, skulle I være virkelig frie.
Therefore, if the Son sets you free, you will be truly free.
37 Jeg ved, at I ere Abrahams Sæd; men I søge at slå mig ihjel, fordi min Tale ikke finder Rum hos eder.
I know that you are Abraham's descendants; you seek to kill me because my word has no place in you.
38 Jeg taler det, som jeg har set hos min Fader; så gøre også I det, som I have hørt af eders Fader."
I say what I have seen with my Father, and you also do what you heard from your father.”
39 De svarede og sagde til ham: "Vor Fader er Abraham." Jesus sagde til dem: "Dersom I vare Abrahams Børn, gjorde I Abrahams Gerninger.
They answered and said to him, “Our father is Abraham.” Jesus said to them, “If you were Abraham's children, you would do the works of Abraham.
40 Men nu søge I at slå mig ihjel, et Menneske, der har sagt eder Sandheden, som jeg har hørt af Gud; dette gjorde Abraham ikke.
Yet, now you seek to kill me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do this.
41 I gøre eders Faders Gerninger." De sagde til ham: "Vi ere ikke avlede i Hor; vi have een Fader, Gud."
You do the works of your father.” They said to him, “We were not born in sexual immorality; we have one Father: God.”
42 Jesus sagde til dem: "Dersom Gud var eders Fader, da elskede I mig; thi jeg er udgået og kommen fra Gud; thi jeg er heller ikke kommen af mig selv, men han har udsendt mig.
Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and am here; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me.
43 Hvorfor forstå I ikke min Tale? fordi I ikke kunne høre mit Ord.
Why do you not understand my words? It is because you cannot hear my words.
44 I ere af den Fader Djævelen, og eders Faders Begæringer ville I gøre. Han var en Manddraber fra Begyndelsen af, og han står ikke i Sandheden; thi Sandhed er ikke i ham. Når han taler Løgn, taler han af sit eget; thi han er en Løgner og Løgnens Fader.
You are of your father, the devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature because he is a liar and the father of lies.
45 Men mig tro I ikke, fordi jeg siger Sandheden.
Yet, because I speak the truth, you do not believe me.
46 Hvem af eder kan overbevise mig om nogen Synd? Siger jeg Sandhed, hvorfor tro I mig da ikke?
Which one of you convicts me of sin? If I speak the truth, why do you not believe me?
47 Den, som er af Gud, hører Guds Ord; derfor høre I ikke, fordi I ere ikke af Gud."
He who is of God hears the words of God; you do not hear them because you are not of God.”
48 Jøderne svarede og sagde til ham: "Sige vi ikke med Rette, at du er en Samaritan og er besat?"
The Jews answered and said to him, “Do we not truly say that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
49 Jesus svarede: "Jeg er ikke besat, men jeg ærer min Fader, og I vanære mig.
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me.
50 Men jeg søger ikke min Ære; der er den, som søger den og dømmer.
I do not seek my glory; there is one seeking and judging.
51 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, dersom nogen holder mit Ord, skal han i al Evighed ikke se Døden." (aiōn g165)
Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” (aiōn g165)
52 Jøderne sagde til ham: "Nu vide vi, at du et besat; Abraham døde og Profeterne, og du siger: Dersom nogen holder mit Ord, han skal i al Evighed ikke smage Døden. (aiōn g165)
The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham and the prophets died; but you say, 'If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.' (aiōn g165)
53 Mon du er større end vor Fader Abraham, som jo døde? også Profeterne døde; hvem gør du dig selv til?"
You are not greater than our father Abraham who died, are you? The prophets also died. Who do you make yourself out to be?”
54 Jesus svarede: "Dersom jeg ærer mig selv, er min Ære intet; det er min Fader, som ærer mig, han, om hvem I sige, at han er eders Gud.
Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who glorifies me—about whom you say that he is your God.
55 Og I have ikke kendt ham, men jeg kender ham. Og dersom jeg siger: "Jeg kender ham ikke," da bliver jeg en Løgner ligesom I; men jeg kender ham og holder hans Ord.
You have not known him, but I know him. If I would say, 'I do not know him,' I would be like you, a liar. However, I know him and keep his word.
56 Abraham, eders Fader, frydede sig til at se min Dag, og han så den og glædede sig."
Your father Abraham rejoiced at seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.”
57 Da sagde Jøderne til ham: "Du er endnu ikke halvtredsindstyve År gammel, og du har set Abraham?"
The Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and you have seen Abraham?”
58 Jesus sagde til dem: "Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, førend Abraham blev til, har jeg været."
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
59 Så toge de Sten for at kaste på ham; men Jesus skjulte sig og gik ud af Helligdommen.
Then they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
