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 was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha.
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 anointed the Lord with ointment, 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.‟
These sisters therefore sent to Him, saying, “Lord, 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.‟
When Jesus heard this, He said, “This sickness won’t end in death, but for God’s glory, so that God’s Son may be glorified by it.”
5 Men Jesus elskede Martha og hendes Søster og Lazarus.
Now Jesus sincerely 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.
Yet, when He heard that Lazarus was sick, Jesus stayed where He was for two more days.
7 Derefter siger han saa til Disciplene: „Lader os gaa til Judæa igen!‟
After this, He said to the disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
8 Disciplene sige til ham: „Rabbi! nylig søgte Jøderne at stene dig, og du drager atter derhen?‟
The disciples said to Him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just recently trying to stone You! Are You really 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, “Aren’t there twelve hours of daylight? Anyone who walks by day 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 anyone who walks by night stumbles, because the light isn’t 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.‟
After He had said this, He told them, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to wake him up.”
12 Da sagde Disciplene til ham: „Herre! sover han, da bliver han helbredet.‟
The disciples therefore said to Him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will recover.”
13 Men Jesus havde talt om hans Død; de derimod mente, at han talte om Søvnens Hvile.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was talking about literal sleep.
14 Derfor sagde da Jesus dem rent ud: „Lazarus er død!
So Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus is dead,
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 wasn’t there, so that you may believe — but let’s go to him.”
16 Da sagde Thomas (hvilket betyder Tvilling), til sine Meddisciple: „Lader os ogsaa gaa, for at vi kunne dø med ham!‟
Therefore Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let’s go, too, that we may die with Him.”
17 Da Jesus nu kom, fandt han, at han havde ligget i Graven allerede fire Dage.
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days.
18 Men Bethania var nær ved Jerusalem, omtrent femten Stadier derfra.
Bethany was near Jerusalem, about fifteen stadia 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 come to 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.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet him, but Mary stayed 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 wouldn’t have died.
22 Men ogsaa nu ved jeg, at hvad som helst du beder Gud om, vil Gud give dig.‟
Even now I know that God will give you whatever You ask of Him.”
23 Jesus siger til hende: „Din Broder skal opstaa.‟
Jesus told her, “Your brother will rise again.”
24 Martha siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at han skal opstaa i Opstandelsen paa den yderste Dag.‟
Martha replied, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on 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 told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live even if they die,
and everyone who lives and believes in me will never 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.‟
“Yes, Lord,” she answered, “I have believed that You are the Christ, God’s Son, who was to come 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.‟
When she had said this, she went back and called Mary, her sister, saying secretly, “The Teacher is here, and is asking for you.”
29 Da hun hørte det, rejste hun sig hastigt og gik til ham.
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to Him.
30 Men Jesus var endnu ikke kommen til Landsbyen, men var paa det Sted, hvor Martha havde mødt ham.
Jesus had not yet entered the village, but was still at 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.
The Jews who were with her in the house, consoling her, 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.‟
When Mary came to where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother wouldn’t 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:
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
34 „Hvor have I lagt ham?‟ De sige til ham: „Herre! kom og se!‟
He asked, “Where have you laid him?” They replied, “Lord, come and see.”
35 Jesus græd.
Jesus wept.
36 Da sagde Jøderne: „Se, hvor han elskede ham!‟
So the Jews were saying, “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 man, have kept this man 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 Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a boulder was placed against the entrance.
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 said, “Take away the boulder.” Martha, the dead man’s sister, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there is a stench, because he has been dead four days.”
40 Jesus siger til hende: „Sagde jeg ikke, at dersom du tror, skal du se Guds Herlighed?‟
Jesus told her, “Didn’t I tell you that if you would believe you would see God’s glory?”
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 the boulder away from the place where the dead man was lying. Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, “Father, I thank You that You have 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 because of the people who are standing here I said this, that they may believe that You sent me.”
43 Og da han havde sagt dette, raabte han med høj Røst: „Lazarus, kom herud!‟
Now when He had said these things, He called loudly, “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!‟
He who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus told them, “Unbind 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;
Then many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in Him.
46 men nogle af dem gik hen til Farisæerne og sagde dem, hvad Jesus havde gjort.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus did.
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 gathered a council and said, “What are we doing? For this Man performs many 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, everyone will believe in 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:
Then a certain one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, told them, “You don’t know anything,
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 take into account that it’s better for you that one man should die for the people, than for the whole nation to 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;
He didn’t say this on his own initiative; but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the nation,
52 og ikke for Folket alene, men for at han ogsaa kunde samle Guds adspredte Børn sammen til eet.
and not for the nation only, but that Jesus might also gather together into one God’s children who are scattered abroad.
53 Fra den Dag af raadsloge de derfor om at ihjelslaa ham.
So from that day on, they planned together to kill Jesus.
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 stopped walking publicly among the Jews, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, into a city called Ephraim, and there He stayed with the disciples.
55 Men Jødernes Paaske var nær; og mange fra Landet gik op til Jerusalem før Paasken for at rense sig.
Now the Passover of the Jews was near, and many went from the country up to Jerusalem before the Passover, 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?‟
Then they were looking for Jesus, and spoke among themselves as they stood in the temple, “What do you think? Isn’t He coming 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 given a command, that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it, that they might arrest Him.
