John 1
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and God was the Word.
I Begyndelsen var Ordet, og Ordet var hos Gud, og Ordet var Gud.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
Dette var i Begyndelsen hos Gud.
3 All things were made through Him, and nothing that was made was made without Him.
Alle Ting ere blevne til ved det, og uden det blev end ikke een Ting til af det, som er.
4 Life was in Him, and Life was the light of men.
I det var Liv, og Livet var Menneskenes Lys.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Og Lyset skinner i Mørket, og Mørket begreb det ikke.
6 There was a man sent by God, whose name was John.
Der kom et Menneske, udsendt fra Gud, hans Navn var Johannes.
7 He arrived as a witness to offer testimony about the Light, so that all would believe through him.
Denne kom til et Vidnesbyrd, for at han skulde vidne om Lyset, for at alle skulde tro ved ham.
8 He was not the Light, but he was to offer testimony about the Light.
Han var ikke Lyset, men han skulde vidne om Lyset.
9 The true Light, which illuminates every man, was coming into this 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 recognize him.
Han var i Verden, og Verden er bleven til ved ham, og Verden kendte ham ikke.
11 He went to his own, and his own did not accept him.
Han kom til sit eget, og hans egne toge ikke imod ham.
12 Yet whoever did accept him, those who believed in his name, he gave them the power to become the sons of God.
Men saa mange, som toge imod ham, dem gav han Magt til at vorde Guds Børn, dem, som tro paa hans Navn;
13 These are born, not of blood, nor of the will of 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 And the Word became flesh, and he lived among us, and we saw his glory, glory like that of an only-begotten Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Og Ordet blev Kød og tog Bolig iblandt os, og vi saa hans Herlighed, en Herlighed, som en enbaaren Søn har den fra sin Fader, fuld af Naade og Sandhed.
15 John offers testimony about him, and he cries out, saying: “This is the one about whom I said: ‘He who is to come after me, has been placed ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
Johannes vidner om ham og raaber og siger: „Ham var det, om hvem jeg sagde: Den, som kommer efter mig, er kommen foran mig; thi han var før mig.‟
16 And from his fullness, we all have received, even grace for grace.
Thi af hans Fylde have vi alle modtaget, og det Naade over Naade.
17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Thi Loven blev given ved Moses; Naaden og Sandheden er kommen ved Jesus Kristus.
18 No one ever saw God; the only-begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he himself has described him.
Ingen har nogen Sinde set Gud; den enbaarne Søn, som er i Faderens Skød, han har kundgjort ham.
19 And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to him, so that they might 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 And he confessed it and did not deny it; and what he confessed was: “I am not the Christ.”
Og han bekendte og nægtede ikke, og han bekendte: „Jeg er ikke Kristus.‟
21 And they questioned him: “Then what are you? Are you Elijah?” And he said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” And 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 Therefore, 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 out in the desert, ‘Make straight the way of the Lord,’ just as the prophet Isaiah said.”
Han sagde: „Jeg er en Røst af en, som raaber i Ørkenen: Jævner Herrens Vej, som Profeten Esajas har sagt.‟
24 And some of those who had been sent were from among the Pharisees.
Og de vare udsendte fra Farisæerne,
25 And they questioned him and said to him, “Then why do you baptize, if you are not the Christ, and not Elijah, and not 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 by saying: “I baptize with water. But in your midst stands one, whom you do not know.
Johannes svarede dem og sagde: „Jeg døber med Vand; midt iblandt eder staar den, I ikke kende,
27 The same is he who is to come after me, who has been placed ahead of me, the laces of whose shoes I am not worthy to loosen.”
han, som kommer efter mig, hvis Skotvinge jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
28 These things happened in Bethania, across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.
Dette skete i Bethania hinsides Jordan, hvor Johannes døbte.
29 On the next day, John saw Jesus coming toward him, and so he said: “Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold, he 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 about whom I said, ‘After me arrives a man, who has been placed ahead of me, because he existed 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 And I did not know him. Yet it is for this reason that I come baptizing with water: so that he may be made manifest in Israel.”
Og jeg kendte ham ikke; men for at han skulde aabenbares for Israel, derfor er jeg kommen og døber med Vand.‟
32 And John offered testimony, saying: “For I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove; and he remained upon him.
Og Johannes vidnede og sagde: „Jeg har set Aanden dale ned som en Due fra Himmelen, og den blev over ham.
33 And I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me: ‘He over whom you will see the Spirit descending and remaining upon him, this is the one who baptizes with 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 Aanden dale ned over og blive over, han er den, som døber med den Helligaand.
34 And I saw, and I gave testimony: that this one is the Son of God.”
Og jeg har set det og har vidnet, at denne er Guds Søn.‟
35 The next day again, John was standing with two of his disciples.
Den næste Dag stod Johannes der atter og to af hans Disciple.
36 And catching sight of Jesus walking, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.”
Og idet han saa paa Jesus, som gik der, siger han: „Se det Guds Lam!‟
37 And two disciples were listening to him speaking. And they followed Jesus.
Og de to Disciple hørte ham tale, og de fulgte Jesus.
38 Then Jesus, turning around and seeing them following him, said to them, “What are you seeking?” And they said to him, “Rabbi (which means in translation, Teacher), where do you live?”
Men Jesus vendte sig om, og da han saa dem følge sig, siger han til dem:
39 He said to them, “Come and see.” They went and saw where he was staying, and they stayed with him that day. Now it was about the tenth hour.
„Hvad søge I efter?‟ Men de sagde til ham: „Rabbi! (hvilket udlagt betyder Mester) hvor opholder du dig?‟
40 And Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who had heard about him from John and had followed him.
Han siger til dem: „Kommer og ser!‟ De kom da og saa, hvor han opholdt sig, og de bleve hos ham den Dag; det var ved den tiende Time.
41 First, he found his brother Simon, and he said to him, “We have found the Messiah,” (which is translated as the Christ).
Den ene af de to, som havde hørt Johannes's Ord og havde fulgt ham, var Andreas, Simon Peters Broder.
42 And he led him to Jesus. And Jesus, gazing at him, said: “You are Simon, son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated as Peter).
Denne finder først sin egen Broder Simon og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet Messias‟ (hvilket er udlagt: Kristus).
43 On the next day, he wanted to go into Galilee, and he found Philip. And Jesus said to him, “Follow me.”
Og han førte ham til Jesus. Jesus saa paa ham og sagde: „Du er Simon, Johannes's Søn; du skal hedde Kefas‟ (det er udlagt: Petrus).
44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.
Den næste Dag vilde han drage derfra til Galilæa; og han finder Filip. Og Jesus siger til ham: „Følg mig!‟
45 Philip found Nathanael, and he said to him, “We have found the one about whom Moses wrote in the Law and the Prophets: Jesus, the son of Joseph, from Nazareth.”
Men Filip var fra Bethsajda, fra Andreas's og Peters By.
46 And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good be from Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”
Filip finder Nathanael og siger til ham: „Vi have fundet ham, hvem Moses i Loven og ligesaa Profeterne have skrevet om, Jesus, Josefs Søn, fra Nazareth.‟
47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, and he said about him, “Behold, an Israelite in whom truly there is no deceit.”
Og Nathanael sagde til ham: „Kan noget godt være fra Nazareth?‟ Filip siger til ham: „Kom og se!‟
48 Nathanael said to him, “From where do you know me?” Jesus responded and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.”
Jesus saa Nathanael komme til sig, og han siger om ham: „Se, det er sandelig en Israelit, i hvem der ikke er Svig.‟
49 Nathanael answered him and said: “Rabbi, you are the Son of God. You are the King of Israel.”
Nathanael siger til ham: „Hvorfra kender du mig?‟ Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Førend Filip kaldte dig, saa jeg dig, medens du var under Figentræet.‟
50 Jesus responded and said to him: “Because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree, you believe. Greater things than these, you will see.”
Nathanael svarede ham: „Rabbi! du er Guds Søn, du er Israels Konge.‟
51 And he said to him, “Amen, amen, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the Angels of God ascending and descending over the Son of man.”
Jesus svarede og sagde til ham: „Tror du, fordi jeg sagde dig, at jeg saa dig under Figentræet? Du skal se større Ting end disse.‟ Og han siger til ham: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle fra nu af se Himmelen aabnet og Guds Engle stige op og stige ned over Menneskesønnen.‟
