John 16

1 “I have told you these things so that you will not fall away.

1 “Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I ikke skulle forarges.

2 They will put you out of the synagogues. In fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God.

2 De skulle udelukke eder af Synagogerne, ja, den Tid skal komme, at hver den, som slår eder ihjel, skal mene, at han viser Gud en Dyrkelse.

3 They will do these things because they have not known the Father or Me.

3 Og dette skulle de gøre, fordi de hverken kende Faderen eller mig.

4 But I have told you these things so that when their hour comes, you will remember that I told you about them. I did not tell you these things from the beginning, because I was with you.

4 Men dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I, når Timen kommer, skulle komme i Hu, at jeg har sagt eder det; men dette sagde jeg eder ikke fra Begyndelsen, fordi jeg var hos eder.

5 Now, however, I am going to Him who sent Me; yet none of you asks Me, ‘Where are You going?’

5 Men nu går jeg hen til ham, som sendte mig, og ingen af eder spørger mig: Hvor går du hen?

6 Instead, your hearts are filled with sorrow because I have told you these things.

6 Men fordi jeg har talt dette til eder, har Bedrøvelsen opfyldt eders Hjerte.

7 But I tell you the truth, it is for your benefit that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

7 Men jeg siger eder Sandheden: Det er eder gavnligt, at jeg går bort, thi går jeg ikke bort, kommer Talsmanden ikke til eder; men går jeg bort, så vil jeg sende ham til eder.

8 And when He comes, He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment:

8 Og når han kommer, skal han overbevise Verden om Synd og om Retfærdighed og om Dom.

9 in regard to sin, because they do not believe in Me;

9 Om Synd, fordi de ikke tro på mig;

10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me;

10 men om Retfærdighed, fordi jeg går til min Fader, og I se mig ikke længer;

11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world has been condemned.

11 men om Dom, fordi denne Verdens Fyrste er dømt.

12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it.

12 Jeg har endnu meget at sige eder; men I kunne ikke bære det nu.

13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come.

13 Men når han, Sandhedens Ånd, kommer, skal han vejlede eder til hele Sandheden; thi han skal ikke tale af sig selv, men hvad som helst han hører, skal han tale, og de kommende Ting skal han forkynde eder.

14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.

14 Han skal herliggøre mig; thi han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.

15 Everything that belongs to the Father is Mine. That is why I said that the Spirit will take from what is Mine and disclose it to you.

15 Alt, hvad Faderen har, er mit; derfor sagde jeg, at han skal tage af mit og forkynde eder.

16 In a little while you will see Me no more, and then after a little while you will see Me.”

16 Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig længer, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig.”

17 Then some of His disciples asked one another, “Why is He telling us, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’ and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”

17 Da sagde nogle af hans Disciple til hverandre: “Hvad er dette, som han siger os: Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig, og: Jeg går hen til Faderen?”

18 They kept asking, “Why is He saying, ‘a little while’? We do not understand what He is saying.”

18 De sagde altså: “Hvad er dette, han siger: Om en liden Stund? Vi forstå ikke, hvad han taler.”

19 Aware that they wanted to question Him, Jesus said to them, “Are you asking one another why I said, ‘In a little while you will not see Me, and then after a little while you will see Me’?

19 Jesus vidste, at de vilde spørge ham, og han sagde til dem: “I spørge hverandre om dette, at jeg sagde: Om en liden Stund skulle I ikke se mig, og atter om en liden Stund skulle I se mig.

20 Truly, truly, I tell you, you will weep and wail while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.

20 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, I skulle græde og jamre, men Verden skal glæde sig; I skulle være bedrøvede, men eders Bedrøvelse skal blive til Glæde.

21 A woman has pain in childbirth because her time has come; but when she brings forth her child, she forgets her anguish because of her joy that a child has been born into the world.

21 Når Kvinden føder, har hun Bedrøvelse, fordi hendes Time er kommen; men når hun har født Barnet, kommer hun ikke mere sin Trængsel i Hu af Glæde over, at et Menneske er født til Verden.

22 So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.

22 Også I have da vel nu Bedrøvelse, men jeg skal se eder igen, og eders Hjerte skal glædes, og ingen tager eders Glæde fra eder.

23 In that day you will no longer ask Me anything. Truly, truly, I tell you, whatever you ask the Father in My name, He will give you.

23 Og på den Dag skulle I ikke spørge mig om noget. Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, hvad som helst I bede Faderen om, skal han give eder i mit Navn.

24 Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be complete.

24 Hidindtil have I ikke bedt om noget i mit Navn; beder, og I skulle få, for at eders Glæde må blive fuldkommen.

25 I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. An hour is coming when I will no longer speak to you this way, but will tell you plainly about the Father.

25 Dette har jeg talt til eder i Lignelser; der kommer en Time, da jeg ikke mere skal tale til eder i Lignelser, men frit ud forkynde eder om Faderen.

26 In that day you will ask in My name. I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf.

26 På den Dag skulle I bede i mit Navn, og jeg siger ikke til eder, at jeg vil bede Faderen for eder;

27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came from God.

27 thi Faderen selv elsker eder, fordi I have elsket mig og troet, at jeg er udgået fra Gud.

28 I came from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”

28 Jeg udgik fra Faderen og er kommen til Verden; jeg forlader Verden igen og går til Faderen.”

29 His disciples said, “See, now You are speaking plainly and without figures of speech.

29 Hans Disciple sige til ham: “Se, nu taler du frit ud og siger ingen Lignelse.

30 Now we understand that You know all things and that You have no need for anyone to question You. Because of this, we believe that You came from God.”

30 Nu vide vi, at du ved alle Ting og ikke har nødig, at nogen spørger dig; desårsag tro vi, at du er udgået fra Gud.”

31 “Do you finally believe?” Jesus replied.

31 Jesus svarede dem: “Nu tro I!

32 “Look, an hour is coming and has already come when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and you will leave Me all alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

32 Se, den Time kommer, og den er kommen, da I skulle adspredes hver til sit og lade mig alene; dog, jeg er ikke alene, thi Faderen er med mig.

33 I have told you these things so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take courage; I have overcome the world!”

33 Dette har jeg talt til eder, for at I skulle have Fred i mig. I Verden have I Trængsel; men værer frimodige, jeg har overvundet Verden.”
