Johannes 11
1 Men der laa en Mand syg, Lazarus fra Bethania, den Landsby, hvor Maria og hendes Søster Martha boede.
Now a man named Lazarus was ill. He was 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 Mary who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ill.
3 Da sendte Søstrene Bud til ham og lod sige: „Herre! se, den, du elsker, er syg.‟
So the sisters sent to him, saying. "Master, see who you hold dear is ill."
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 it he said, "This illness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that through it the Son of God may be glorified."
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.
However, when he heard that he was ill,
7 Derefter siger han saa til Disciplene: „Lader os gaa til Judæa igen!‟
he still remained where he was for two days; then after that he said to his disciples, "Let us go back again to Judea."
8 Disciplene sige til ham: „Rabbi! nylig søgte Jøderne at stene dig, og du drager atter derhen?‟
"Rabbi," answered his disciples, "it was but just now that the Jews were trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Jesus svarede: „Har Dagen ikke tolv Timer? Vandrer nogen om Dagen, da støder han ikke an; thi han ser denne Verdens Lys.
Jesus replied. "Are there not twelve hours in the daytime? If any one walks in the daytime he does not stumble, because he beholds the light of this world;
10 Men vandrer nogen om Natten, da støder han an; thi Lyset er ikke i ham.‟
but if any one walks during 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.‟
This he said, then told them, "Lazarus, our friend, has fallen asleep, but I am going to wake him."
12 Da sagde Disciplene til ham: „Herre! sover han, da bliver han helbredet.‟
"Master, if he has fallen asleep, he will get well," replied the disciples.
13 Men Jesus havde talt om hans Død; de derimod mente, at han talte om Søvnens Hvile.
Now Jesus had been speaking concerning his death, but they thought that he was talking about natural sleep.
14 Derfor sagde da Jesus dem rent ud: „Lazarus er død!
So then he told them plainly.
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!‟
"Lazarus is dead; and for your sakes I am glad I was not there, in order that you may believe. Come, 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!‟
Upon this Thomas, who was called "The Twin," said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go too, 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 arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been four days in the tomb.
18 Men Bethania var nær ved Jerusalem, omtrent femten Stadier derfra.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, only about two miles away;
19 Og mange af Jøderne vare komne til Martha og Maria for at trøste dem over deres Broder.
so a number of the Jews had gone to Martha and Mary to sympathize with them concerning their brother.
20 Da Martha nu hørte, at Jesus kom, gik hun ham i Møde; men Maria blev siddende i Huset.
So when Martha learned that Jesus was coming, she went to meet him, but Mary remained sitting in the house.
21 Da sagde Martha til Jesus: „Herre! havde du været her, da var min Broder ikke død.
Then Martha said to Jesus. "Master, had you 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 said 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 answered, "I know that he will rise 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.
"I am the resurrection and the life, "said Jesus. "He who believes in me, even if he has died, shall live.
And every one who is living and believes in me shall 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, Master," she answered, "I have come to believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, 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.‟
With these words she went away to call her sister Mary, saying privately, "The Teacher is here and is asking for you."
29 Da hun hørte det, rejste hun sig hastigt og gik til ham.
So when Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went to meet him.
30 Men Jesus var endnu ikke kommen til Landsbyen, men var paa det Sted, hvor Martha havde mødt ham.
Jesus had not yet arrived in 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.
Then the Jews who were in the house trying to console her, when they saw that Mary rose quickly and went out, followed her, because they thought she was 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 the place where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell at his feet, saying, "Master had you 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:
Then when Jesus saw her sobbing, and the Jews likewise who accompanied her, sobbing, he shuddered with indignation in his spirit, and was deeply agitated.
34 „Hvor have I lagt ham?‟ De sige til ham: „Herre! kom og se!‟
"Where have you laid him?" he said. "Master, come and see," they answered.
35 Jesus græd.
Jesus burst into tears.
36 Da sagde Jøderne: „Se, hvor han elskede ham!‟
"See how he loved him," said the Jews. But some of them said,
37 Men nogle af dem sagde: „Kunde ikke han, som aabnede den blindes Øjne, have gjort, at ogsaa denne ikke var død?‟
"Could not this man, who has opened the eyes of the blind man, have prevented this man also 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.
Jesus therefore, again shuddering in himself with indignation, came to the tomb, which was a cave with a stone lying upon 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.‟
"Roll away the stone," said Jesus. "Master," said Martha, the sister of the dead man "he is offensive by this time, for he has been four days in the tomb."
40 Jesus siger til hende: „Sagde jeg ikke, at dersom du tror, skal du se Guds Herlighed?‟
Jesus answered her, "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you should 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 rolled the stone away; and Jesus lifted up his eyes and said.
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.‟
"Father, I thank thee that thou hast listened to me. And I knew that thou art ever listening to me, but for the sake of the crowd who are standing about, I said it, in order that they may believe that thou hast sent me."
43 Og da han havde sagt dette, raabte han med høj Røst: „Lazarus, kom herud!‟
When he had said this he cried with a great voice, "Lazarus, come forth!"
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!‟
Out came the dead man, wrapped hand and foot with grave-clothes, and his face bound up in a napkin. Jesus said to them, "Untie 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;
Many of the Jews, therefore, who had come with Mary, and had seen what he did, believed on 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 had done.
47 Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne sammenkaldte da et Møde af Raadet og sagde: „Hvad gøre vi? thi dette Menneske gør mange Tegn.
So the chief priests and Pharisees called a meeting of the Sanhedrin.
48 Dersom vi lade ham saaledes blive ved, ville alle tro paa ham, og Romerne ville komme og tage baade vort Land og Folk.‟
"What are we going to do?" they said, "now that this man is performing many signs?" If we leave him alone, this way, every one will believe on him, and the Romans will come and rob us of both our sacred place and of our people."
49 Men en af dem, Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det Aar, sagde til dem:
But one of their number, Caiaphas by name, who was high priest that year, said to them,
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.‟
"You know nothing at all, nor do you consider that it is expedient for you that one man should die for the people, rather than the whole nation be destroyed."
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 of his own accord; but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus was about to die in 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 in behalf of the nation alone, but in order that he might gather into one the widely scattered children of God.
53 Fra den Dag af raadsloge de derfor om at ihjelslaa ham.
So from that day they 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.
Jesus therefore no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went away from there into the region near the desert to a town called Ephraim,
55 Men Jødernes Paaske var nær; og mange fra Landet gik op til Jerusalem før Paasken for at rense sig.
and there remained with his disciples. Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many people went up from the country to Jerusalem for purification before the Passover.
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 kept looking for Jesus and saying to one another, as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think - that he will not 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 Pharisees had given orders that if any one knew where he was. he should give information, so that they might arrest him.
