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 sick. 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.
(Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with ointment and wiped his feet with her hair; it was her brother Lazarus who was sick.)
3 Da sendte Søstrene Bud til ham og lod sige: „Herre! se, den, du elsker, er syg.‟
So the sisters sent word to Jesus, “Lord, behold, the one yoʋ 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.‟
But when Jesus heard this, he said, “This sickness will not end in death but is 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, her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Da han nu hørte, at han var syg, blev han dog to Dage paa det Sted, hvor han var.
But when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was for two more days.
7 Derefter siger han saa til Disciplene: „Lader os gaa til Judæa igen!‟
After that he said to the disciples, “Let us go to Judea again.”
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 now seeking to stone yoʋ, and yet you are 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 answered, “Are there not twelve hours in the day? If anyone walks in the day, he does not 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 stumbles, 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.‟
After saying this, he said to 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.‟
His disciples said, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.”
13 Men Jesus havde talt om hans Død; de derimod mente, at han talte om Søvnens Hvile.
(They thought Jesus was speaking about natural sleep, but he was actually speaking about Lazarus' death.)
14 Derfor sagde da Jesus dem rent ud: „Lazarus er død!
Then Jesus told them plainly, “Lazarus has 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 rejoice for your sake 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 Didymus) said to his fellow disciples, “Let 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.
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days already.
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 who were with Martha and Mary, to console them about 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 to meet him, but Mary remained seated 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, “Lord, if yoʋ 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 God will give yoʋ whatever yoʋ ask of him.”
23 Jesus siger til hende: „Din Broder skal opstaa.‟
Jesus said to her, “Yoʋr brother will rise again.”
24 Martha siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at han skal opstaa i Opstandelsen paa den yderste Dag.‟
Martha said to him, “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 said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he may die, yet shall he live.
No one who lives and believes in me will ever die. Do yoʋ 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 said to him, “Yes, Lord, I have come to believe that yoʋ are the Christ, the Son of God, who is 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.‟
After saying this, she went and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for yoʋ.”
29 Da hun hørte det, rejste hun sig hastigt og gik til ham.
When Mary heard this, she rose quickly and went 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 come into the village, but was in the place where Martha had 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.
When the Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw her rise 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 and saw him, she fell at his feet and said to him, “Lord, if yoʋ 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:
When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who had come with her also weeping, he was deeply moved in his spirit and troubled.
34 „Hvor have I lagt ham?‟ De sige til ham: „Herre! kom og se!‟
He said, “Where have you laid him?” They said 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, “Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have also 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.
Deeply moved once more, Jesus came to 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 said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the man who had died, said to him, “Lord, there is already a stench, for it is the fourth day.”
40 Jesus siger til hende: „Sagde jeg ikke, at dersom du tror, skal du se Guds Herlighed?‟
Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell yoʋ that if yoʋ believed yoʋ would 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.
So they took away the stone from where the dead man was laid. Then Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank yoʋ that yoʋ 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 yoʋ always hear me, but I say this for the benefit of the crowd that is standing here, so that they may believe that yoʋ sent me.”
43 Og da han havde sagt dette, raabte han med høj Røst: „Lazarus, kom herud!‟
After saying this, he cried out 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!‟
Then the man who had died came out, his feet and his hands bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to 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;
Therefore many of the Jews who had come to Mary, and had seen what 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 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 the Pharisees convened a meeting of the Sanhedrin and said, “What are we going to do? For this man is doing 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 allow him to continue like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our holy place and our nation.”
49 Men en af dem, Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det Aar, sagde til dem:
But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You do not 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 consider that it is better for us to have one man die for the people than to have 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;
(He said this not of his own accord, 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 only for the nation, but also to gather into one the children of God scattered abroad.)
53 Fra den Dag af raadsloge de derfor om at ihjelslaa ham.
So from that day they plotted together 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 went around openly among the Jews. Instead, he departed from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, where he spent time 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 Passover of the Jews was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the countryside to purify themselves 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?‟
They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, “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 the Pharisees had given an order that if anyone knew where Jesus was, he should report it, so that they might arrest him.)
