John 12
1 Then six days before the Passover, Jesus went to Bethania, where Lazarus had died, whom Jesus raised up.
Seks Dage før Paaske kom Jesus nu til Bethania, hvor Lazarus boede, han, som Jesus havde oprejst fra de døde.
2 And they made a dinner for him there. And Martha was ministering. And truly, Lazarus was one of those who were sitting at table with him.
Der gjorde de da et Aftensmaaltid for ham, og Martha vartede op; men Lazarus var en af dem, som sade til Bords med ham.
3 And then Mary took twelve ounces of pure spikenard ointment, very precious, and she anointed the feet of Jesus, and she wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
Da tog Maria et Pund af ægte, saare kostbar Nardussalve og salvede Jesu Fødder og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Haar; og Huset blev fuldt af Salvens Duft.
4 Then one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was soon to betray him, said,
Da siger en af hans Disciple, Judas, Simons Søn, Iskariot, han, som siden forraadte ham:
5 “Why was this ointment not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the needy?”
„Hvorfor blev denne Salve ikke solgt for tre Hundrede Denarer og given til fattige?‟
6 Now he said this, not out of concern for the needy, but because he was a thief and, since he held the purse, he used to carry 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: “Permit her, so that she may keep it against the day of my burial.
Da sagde Jesus: „Lad hende med Fred, hun har jo bevaret den til min Begravelsesdag!
8 For the poor, you have with you always. But me, you do always not have.”
De fattige have I jo altid hos eder; men mig have I ikke altid.‟
9 Now a great multitude of the Jews knew that he was in that place, and so they came, not so much because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus, 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 ogsaa for at se Lazarus, hvem han havde oprejst fra de døde.
10 And the leaders of the priests planned to put Lazarus to death also.
Men Ypperstepræsterne raadsloge om ogsaa at slaa Lazarus ihjel;
11 For many of the Jews, because of him, were going away and were believing in Jesus.
thi for hans Skyld gik mange af Jøderne hen og troede paa Jesus.
12 Then, on the next day, the great crowd that had come to the feast day, when they had 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 took branches of palm trees, and they went ahead to meet him. And they were crying out: “Hosanna! Blessed is he who arrives in the name of the Lord, the king of Israel!”
toge de Palmegrene og gik ud imod ham og raabte: „Hosanna! velsignet være den, som kommer, i Herrens Navn, Israels Konge!‟
14 And Jesus found a small donkey, and he sat upon it, just as it is written:
Men Jesus fandt et ungt Æsel og satte sig derpaa, som der er skrevet:
15 “Do not be afraid, daughter of Zion. Behold, your king arrives, sitting on the colt of a donkey.”
„Frygt ikke, Zions Datter! se, din Konge kommer, siddende paa en Asenindes Føl.‟
16 At first, his disciples did not realize these things. But when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written about him, and that these things happened 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 And so the crowd that had been with him, when he called Lazarus from the tomb and raised him from the dead, offered testimony.
Skaren, som var med ham, vidnede nu, at han havde kaldt Lazarus frem fra Graven og oprejst ham fra de døde.
18 Because of this, too, the crowd went out to meet him. For they heard that he had accomplished this sign.
Det var ogsaa derfor, at Skaren gik ham i Møde, fordi de havde hørt, at han havde gjort dette Tegn.
19 Therefore, the Pharisees said among themselves: “Do you see that we are accomplishing nothing? Behold, the entire world has gone after him.”
Da sagde Farisæerne til hverandre: „I se, at I udrette ikke noget; se, Alverden gaar efter ham.‟
20 Now there were certain Gentiles among those who went up so that they might worship on the feast day.
Men der var nogle Grækere af dem, som plejede at gaa op for at tilbede paa Højtiden.
21 Therefore, these approached Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and they petitioned 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 went and told Andrew. Next, Andrew and Philip told Jesus.
Filip kommer og siger det til Andreas, Andreas og Filip komme og sige det til Jesus.
23 But Jesus answered them by saying: “The hour arrives when the Son of man shall be glorified.
Men Jesus svarede dem og sagde: „Timen er kommen, til at Menneskesønnen skal herliggøres.
24 Amen, amen, I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it yields 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 Whoever loves his life, will lose it. And whoever hates his life in this world, preserves it unto eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
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. And where I am, there too my minister shall be. If anyone has served me, my Father will honor him.
Om nogen tjener mig, han følge mig, og hvor jeg er, der skal ogsaa min Tjener være; om nogen tjener mig, ham skal Faderen ære.
27 Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say? Father, save me from this hour? But it is for this reason that I came to this hour.
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!” And then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”
Fader, herliggør dit Navn!‟ Da kom der en Røst fra Himmelen: „Baade har jeg herliggjort det, og vil jeg atter herliggøre det.‟
29 Therefore, the crowd, which was standing near and had heard it, said that it was like thunder. Others were saying, “An Angel was speaking with him.”
Da sagde Skaren, som stod og hørte det, at det havde tordnet; andre sagde: „En Engel har talt til ham.‟
30 Jesus responded and said: “This voice came, not 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 the world. Now will the prince of this world be cast out.
Nu gaar der Dom over denne Verden, nu skal denne Verdens Fyrste kastes ud,
32 And when I have been lifted up from the earth, I will draw all things to myself.”
og jeg skal, naar jeg bliver ophøjet fra Jorden, drage alle til mig.‟
33 (Now he said this, signifying what kind of death he would die.)
Men dette sagde han for at betegne, hvilken Død han skulde dø.
34 The crowd answered him: “We have heard, from the law, that the Christ remains forever. And so how can you say, ‘The Son of man must be lifted up?’ Who is this Son of man?” (aiōn g165)
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 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, the Light is among you. Walk while you have the Light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. But whoever walks in darkness does not know where is he 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 gaar hen.
36 While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may be sons of the Light.” Jesus spoke these things, and then he went away and hid himself from them.
Medens I have Lyset, tror paa Lyset, for at I kunne blive Lysets Børn!‟ Dette talte Jesus, og han gik bort og blev skjult for dem.
37 And although he had done such great signs in their presence, they did not believe in him,
Men endskønt han havde gjort saa mange Tegn for deres Øjne, troede de dog ikke paa ham,
38 so that the word of the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled, which says: “Lord, who has believed in our hearing? And 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 aabenbaret?‟
39 Because of this, they were not able to believe, for Isaiah said again:
Derfor kunde de ikke tro, fordi Esajas har atter sagt:
40 “He has blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart, so that they may not see with their eyes, and understand with their heart, and be converted: and then I would heal them.”
„Han har blindet deres Øjne og forhærdet deres Hjerte, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.‟
41 These things Isaiah said, when he saw his glory and was speaking about him.
Dette sagde Esajas, fordi han saa hans Herlighed og talte om ham.
42 Yet truly, many of the leaders also believed in him. But because of the Pharisees, they did not confess him, so that they would not be cast out of the synagogue.
Alligevel var der dog mange, endogsaa af Raadsherrerne, som troede paa ham; men for Farisæernes Skyld bekendte de det ikke, for at de ikke skulde blive udelukkede af Synagogen;
43 For they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.
thi de elskede Menneskenes Ære mere end Guds Ære.
44 But Jesus cried out and said: “Whoever believes in me, does not believe in me, but in him who sent me.
Men Jesus raabte og sagde: „Den, som tror paa mig, tror ikke paa mig, men paa ham, som sendte mig,
45 And whoever sees me, sees him who sent me.
og den, som ser mig, ser den, som sendte mig.
46 I have arrived as a light to the world, so that all who believe in me might not remain in darkness.
Jeg er kommen som et Lys til Verden, for at hver den, som tror paa mig, ikke skal blive i Mørket.
47 And if anyone has heard my words and not kept them, I do not judge him. For I did not come so that I may judge the world, but so that I may save the world.
Og om nogen hører mine Ord og ikke vogter paa dem, ham dømmer ikke jeg; thi jeg er ikke kommen for at dømme Verden, men for at frelse Verden.
48 Whoever despises me and does not accept my words has one who judges him. The word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him on 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 paa den yderste Dag.
49 For I am not speaking from myself, but from the Father who sent me. He gave a commandment to me as to what I should say and how 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.
