John 12
1 Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
Seks Dage før Påske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
2 So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
Der gjorde de da et Aftensmåltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
3 Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
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.
4 Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forrådte ham:
5 “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
"Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?"
6 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.
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.
7 But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
Da sagde Jesus: "Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
8 For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me.”
De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid."
9 A large crowd therefore of the Jews 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.
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.
10 But the chief priests conspired to put Lazarus to death also,
Men Ypperstepræsterne rådsloge om også at slå Lazarus ihjel:
11 because on account of him many of the Jews went away and believed in Jesus.
thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede på Jesus.
12 On the next day a great multitude had come to the feast. When they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,
Den følgende Dag, da den store Skare, som var kommen til Højtiden, hørte, at Jesus kom til Jerusalem,
13 they took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet him, and cried out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!”
toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og råbte: "Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!"
14 Jesus, having found a young donkey, sat on it. As it is written,
Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpå, som der er skrevet:
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your King comes, sitting on a donkey’s colt.”
"Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende på en Asenindes Føl."
16 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.
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.
17 The multitude therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead was testifying about it.
Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
18 For this cause also the multitude went and met him, because they heard that he had done this sign.
Det var også derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
19 The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, “See how you accomplish nothing. Behold, the world has gone after him.”
Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: "I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden går efter ham."
20 Now there were certain Greeks among those who went up to worship at the feast.
Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gå op for at tilbede på Højtiden.
21 Therefore, these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus.”
Disse gik nu til Filip, som var fra Bethsajda i Galilæa, og bade ham og sagde: "Herre! vi ønske at se Jesus."
22 Philip came and told Andrew, and in turn, Andrew came with Philip, and they told Jesus.
Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
23 Jesus answered them, “The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.
Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: "Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
24 Most certainly 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.
Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvis ikke Hvedekornet falder i Jorden og dør, bliver det ene; men dersom det dør, bærer det megen Frugt.
25 He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it for consummate (aiōnios g166) life.
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)
26 If anyone serves me, let him follow me. Where I am, there my servant will also be. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.
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.
27 “Now my soul is troubled. What shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this time’? But I came to this time for this cause.
Nu er min Sjæl forfærdet; og hvad skal jeg sige? Fader, frels mig fra denne Time? Dog, derfor er jeg kommen til denne Time.
28 Father, glorify your name!” Then a voice came out of the sky, saying, “I have both glorified it and will glorify it again.”
Fader herliggør dit Navn!" Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: "Både har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det."
29 Therefore the multitude who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.”
Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: "En Engel har talt til ham."
30 Jesus answered, “This voice has not come for my sake, but for your sakes.
Jesus svarede og sagde: "Ikke for min Skyld er denne Røst kommen, men for eders Skyld.
31 Now is the judgment of this world. Now the prince of this world will be cast out.
Nu går der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
32 And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.”
og jeg skal, når jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig."
33 But he said this, signifying by what kind of death he should die.
Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
34 The multitude answered him, "We have heard from of the law that the Christ remains for this age (aiōn g165). How do you say, 'The Son of Man must be lifted up?' Who is this Son of Man?"
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)
35 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.
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.
36 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.
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.
37 But though he had done so many signs before them, yet they did not believe in him,
Men endskønt han havde gjort så mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke på ham,
38 that the word of Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spoke: “Lord, who has believed our report? To whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?”
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?"
39 For this cause they could not believe, for Isaiah said again:
Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
40 “He has blinded their eyes and he hardened their heart, lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, and would turn, and I would heal them.”
"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."
41 Isaiah said these things when he saw his glory, and spoke of him.
Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han så hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
42 Nevertheless, even many of the rulers believed in him, but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, so that they would not be put out of the synagogue,
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;
43 for they loved men’s praise more than God’s praise.
thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
44 Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me, but in him who sent me.
Men Jesus råbte og sagde: "Den, som tror på mig, tror ikke på mig, men på ham, som sendte mig,
45 He who sees me sees him who sent me.
og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
46 I have come as a light into the world, that whoever believes in me may not remain in the darkness.
Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror på mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
47 If anyone listens to my sayings and does not believe, I do not judge him. For I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
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.
48 He who rejects me, and does not receive my sayings, has one who judges him. The word that I spoke will judge him in the last day.
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.
49 For I spoke not from myself, but the Father who sent me gave me a commandment, what I should say and what I should speak.
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.
