Johannes 11
1 Men der laa en Mand syg, Lazarus fra Bethania, den Landsby, hvor Maria og hendes Søster Martha boede.
Now a certain man, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha, was sick.
2 Men Maria var den, som salvede Herren med Salve og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Haar; hendes Broder Lazarus var syg.
(It was the Mary who [later] anointed the Lord with myrrh and wiped His feet with her hair whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3 Da sendte Søstrene Bud til ham og lod sige: „Herre! se, den, du elsker, er syg.‟
So the sisters sent to Him saying, “Lord, please, the one you love is sick!”
4 Men da Jesus hørte dette, sagde han: „Denne Sygdom er ikke til Døden, men for Guds Herligheds Skyld, for at Guds Søn skal herliggøres ved den.‟
Upon hearing it Jesus said, “This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.”
5 Men Jesus elskede Martha og hendes Søster og Lazarus.
(Now Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus.)
6 Da han nu hørte, at han var syg, blev han dog to Dage paa det Sted, hvor han var.
So, when He heard that he was sick He stayed where He was two more days!
7 Derefter siger han saa til Disciplene: „Lader os gaa til Judæa igen!‟
Then after this He says to the disciples, “Let us go into Judea again.”
8 Disciplene sige til ham: „Rabbi! nylig søgte Jøderne at stene dig, og du drager atter derhen?‟
The disciples say to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just now trying to stone you, and you are going back there?”
9 Jesus svarede: „Har Dagen ikke tolv Timer? Vandrer nogen om Dagen, da støder han ikke an; thi han ser denne Verdens Lys.
Jesus answered: “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks during the day he doesn't stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Men vandrer nogen om Natten, da støder han an; thi Lyset er ikke i ham.‟
But if anyone walks in the night he does stumble, because the light is not in him.”
11 Dette sagde han, og derefter siger han til dem: „Lazarus, vor Ven, er sovet ind; men jeg gaar hen for at vække ham af Søvne.‟
Having said these things He says to them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going in order to awaken him.”
12 Da sagde Disciplene til ham: „Herre! sover han, da bliver han helbredet.‟
His disciples said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping he will get well.”
13 Men Jesus havde talt om hans Død; de derimod mente, at han talte om Søvnens Hvile.
But Jesus had spoken of his death, while they thought He was talking about natural sleep.
14 Derfor sagde da Jesus dem rent ud: „Lazarus er død!
So then Jesus said to them plainly: “Lazarus died.
15 Og for eders Skyld er jeg glad over, at jeg ikke var der, for at I skulle tro; men lader os gaa til ham!‟
And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.”
16 Da sagde Thomas (hvilket betyder Tvilling), til sine Meddisciple: „Lader os ogsaa gaa, for at vi kunne dø med ham!‟
Then Thomas (called Twin) said to his fellow disciples, “Let's us go too, so that we may die with Him.”
17 Da Jesus nu kom, fandt han, at han havde ligget i Graven allerede fire Dage.
So when Jesus had come, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Men Bethania var nær ved Jerusalem, omtrent femten Stadier derfra.
(Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away,
19 Og mange af Jøderne vare komne til Martha og Maria for at trøste dem over deres Broder.
and many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother.)
20 Da Martha nu hørte, at Jesus kom, gik hun ham i Møde; men Maria blev siddende i Huset.
Then Martha, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him; but Mary remained sitting at home.
21 Da sagde Martha til Jesus: „Herre! havde du været her, da var min Broder ikke død.
Then Martha said to Jesus: “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died.
22 Men ogsaa nu ved jeg, at hvad som helst du beder Gud om, vil Gud give dig.‟
But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You.”
23 Jesus siger til hende: „Din Broder skal opstaa.‟
Jesus says to her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at han skal opstaa i Opstandelsen paa den yderste Dag.‟
Martha says to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”
25 Jesus sagde til hende: „Jeg er Opstandelsen og Livet; den, som tror paa mig, skal leve, om han end dør.
Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes into me, though he may die, will live;
and everyone who both lives and believes into me will never ever die. Do you believe this?” (aiōn g165)
27 Hun siger til ham: „Ja, Herre! jeg tror, at du er Kristus, Guds Søn, den, som kommer til Verden.‟
She says to Him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that You are the Messiah, the Son of God, the One coming into the world.”
28 Og da hun havde sagt dette, gik hun bort og kaldte hemmeligt sin Søster Maria og sagde: „Mesteren er her og kalder ad dig.‟
Having said these things she went and called her sister Mary, saying privately, “The Teacher is here and is calling you!”
29 Da hun hørte det, rejste hun sig hastigt og gik til ham.
Upon hearing it she gets up quickly and goes to Him.
30 Men Jesus var endnu ikke kommen til Landsbyen, men var paa det Sted, hvor Martha havde mødt ham.
(Now Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was in the place where Martha met Him.
31 Da nu Jøderne, som vare hos hende i Huset og trøstede hende, saa, at Maria stod hastigt op og gik ud, fulgte de hende, idet de mente, at hun gik ud til Graven for at græde der.
Then the Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, when they saw Mary get up quickly and go out, they followed her saying, “She is going to the tomb to weep there.”)
32 Da Maria nu kom derhen, hvor Jesus var, og saa ham, faldt hun ned for hans Fødder og sagde til ham: „Herre! havde du været her, da var min Broder ikke død.‟
Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, upon seeing Him she fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here my brother would not have died!”
33 Da nu Jesus saa hende græde og saa Jøderne, som vare komne med hende, græde, harmedes han i Aanden og blev heftigt bevæget i sit Indre; og han sagde:
So when Jesus saw her crying, and the Jews who had come with her crying, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 „Hvor have I lagt ham?‟ De sige til ham: „Herre! kom og se!‟
And He said, “Where have you put him?” They say to Him, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus græd.
Jesus wept.
36 Da sagde Jøderne: „Se, hvor han elskede ham!‟
So the Jews said, “See how he loved him!”
37 Men nogle af dem sagde: „Kunde ikke han, som aabnede den blindes Øjne, have gjort, at ogsaa denne ikke var død?‟
But some of them said, “Couldn't this man, who opened the eyes of the blind, have also kept this one from dying?”
38 Da harmes Jesus atter i sit Indre og gaar hen til Graven. Men det var en Hule, og en Sten laa for den.
Then, groaning within Himself again, Jesus arrived at the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
39 Jesus siger: „Tager Stenen bort!‟ Martha, den dødes Søster, siger til ham: „Herre! han stinker allerede; thi han har ligget der fire Dage.‟
Jesus says, “Remove the stone!” Martha, the sister of the deceased, says to Him, “Lord, he already stinks; it's been four days!”
40 Jesus siger til hende: „Sagde jeg ikke, at dersom du tror, skal du se Guds Herlighed?‟
Jesus says to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe you will see the glory of God?”
41 Da toge de Stenen bort. Men Jesus opløftede sine Øjne og sagde: „Fader! jeg takker dig, fordi du har hørt mig.
Then they took away the stone from where the deceased was lying. Jesus raised His eyes and said: “Father, I thank You that You heard me.
42 Jeg vidste vel, at du altid hører mig; men for Skarens Skyld, som staar omkring, sagde jeg det, for at de skulle tro, at du har udsendt mig.‟
I know that You always hear me, but I spoke for the sake of the crowd standing around, so that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 Og da han havde sagt dette, raabte han med høj Røst: „Lazarus, kom herud!‟
Upon saying these things He shouted with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 Og den døde kom ud, bunden med Jordeklæder om Fødder og Hænder, og et Tørklæde var bundet om hans Ansigt. Jesus siger til dem: „Løser ham, og lader ham gaa!‟
And out the deceased came! Bound hand and foot with bandages, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus says to them, “Loose him and let him go.”
45 Mange af de Jøder, som vare komne til Maria og havde set, hvad han havde gjort, troede nu paa ham;
So many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what Jesus did, believed into Him.
46 men nogle af dem gik hen til Farisæerne og sagde dem, hvad Jesus havde gjort.
But some of them went off to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
47 Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne sammenkaldte da et Møde af Raadet og sagde: „Hvad gøre vi? thi dette Menneske gør mange Tegn.
Then the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council and said: “What can we do? Because this man performs many miraculous signs;
48 Dersom vi lade ham saaledes blive ved, ville alle tro paa ham, og Romerne ville komme og tage baade vort Land og Folk.‟
if we let him go on like this everybody will believe into him; and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation!”
49 Men en af dem, Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det Aar, sagde til dem:
But one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them: “You know nothing at all!
50 „I vide intet; ej heller betænke I, at det er os gavnligt, at eet Menneske dør for Folket, og at ikke det hele Folk skal gaa til Grunde.‟
Nor do you consider that it is advantageous for us that one man should die on behalf of the people, rather than the whole nation perish!”
51 Men dette sagde han ikke af sig selv; men da han var Ypperstepræst i det Aar, profeterede han, at Jesus skulde dø for Folket;
(Now he did not say this on his own, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die on behalf of the nation;
52 og ikke for Folket alene, men for at han ogsaa kunde samle Guds adspredte Børn sammen til eet.
and not only on behalf of the nation, but also to gather into one all the scattered children of God.)
53 Fra den Dag af raadsloge de derfor om at ihjelslaa ham.
So from that day on they really plotted to kill Him.
54 Derfor vandrede Jesus ikke mere frit om iblandt Jøderne, men gik bort derfra ud paa Landet, nær ved Ørkenen, til en By, som kaldes Efraim; og han blev der med sine Disciple.
Therefore Jesus no longer moved about openly among the Jews, but went away from there into the country near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim; and He stayed there with His disciples.
55 Men Jødernes Paaske var nær; og mange fra Landet gik op til Jerusalem før Paasken for at rense sig.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many from the country went up to Jerusalem before the Passover in order to purify themselves.
56 Da ledte de efter Jesus og sagde mellem hverandre, da de stode i Helligdommen: „Hvad mene I? Mon han ikke kommer til Højtiden?‟
So they were looking for Jesus, and as they stood in the temple they were saying to each other, “What do you think—that he won't come to the feast at all?”
57 Men Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne havde givet Befaling om, at dersom nogen vidste, hvor han var, skulde han give det til Kende, for at de kunde gribe ham.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had together issued an edict that if anyone knew where He was he should report it, so they could arrest Him.
