Sviket(original) |
| Men Judas vender ofte hodet vekk |
| Fra Brødrene, slår ofte blikket ned |
| En ugjort gjerning venter ham et sted |
| Og fyller hjertet med en unklar skrekk |
| Den blinde skjebne fletter om hans navn |
| For alle tider skammens tornekrans |
| Snart skal hans føtter trå en luftig dans |
| Og kroppen by seg til for gribb og ravn |
| Snart skal det skje. |
| Bestemt fra evighet |
| Er Mesterens befaling: Gjør det fort |
| Og så - skjærtorsdag aften — går han bort |
| Til svikets æreløse rettersted |
| (translation) |
| But Judas often turns his head away |
| From the Brethren, often look down |
| An undone deed awaits him somewhere |
| And fills the heart with an obscure fear |
| The blind fate weaves around his name |
| For all time the wreath of shame |
| Soon his feet will tread an airy dance |
| And the body offers itself for vultures and ravens |
| It will happen soon. |
| Determined from eternity |
| Is the Master's command: Do it quickly |
| And then - Maundy Thursday night - he passes away |
| To the dishonorable court of betrayal |
