Johannes 4
1 Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
When therefore the Lord knew how that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
(although Jesus himself baptized not, but his disciples),
3 da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
he left Judaea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
And he must needs pass through Samaria.
5 Han kommer da til en By i Samaria, som kaldes Sykar, nær ved det Stykke Land, som Jakob gav sin Søn Josef.
So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6 Og der var Jakobs Brønd. Jesus satte sig da, træt af Rejsen, ned ved Brønden; det var ved den sjette Time.
and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 En samaritansk Kvinde kommer for at drage Vand op. Jesus siger til hende: „Giv mig noget at drikke!‟
There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
9 Da siger den samaritanske Kvinde til ham: „Hvorledes kan dog du, som er en Jøde, bede mig, som er en samaritansk Kvinde, om noget at drikke?‟ Thi Jøder holde ikke Samkvem med Samaritaner.
The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Dersom du kendte Guds Gave, og hvem det er, som siger til dig: Giv mig noget at drikke, da bad du ham, og han gav dig levende Vand.‟
Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! du har jo intet at drage op med, og Brønden er dyb; hvorfra har du da det levende Vand?
The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Mon du er større end vor Fader Jakob, som har givet os Brønden, og han har selv drukket deraf og hans Børn og hans Kvæg?‟
Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
15 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! giv mig dette Vand, for at jeg ikke skal tørste og ikke komme hid for at drage op.‟
The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
16 Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!‟
Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 Kvinden svarede og sagde: „Jeg har ingen Mand.‟ Jesus siger til hende: „Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
18 Thi du har haft fem Mænd; og han, som du nu har, er ikke din Mand. Det har du sagt sandt.‟
for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
19 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Vore Fædre have tilbedet paa dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede.‟
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus siger til hende: „Tro mig, Kvinde, at den Time kommer, da det hverken skal være paa dette Bjerg eller i Jerusalem, at I tilbede Faderen.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know: for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Men den Time kommer, ja, den er nu, da de sande Tilbedere skulle tilbede Faderen i Aand og Sandhed; thi det er saadanne Tilbedere, Faderen vil have.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
24 Gud er Aand, og de, som tilbede ham, bør tilbede i Aand og Sandhed.‟
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
25 Kvinden siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at Messias kommer (hvilket betyder Kristus); naar han kommer, skal han kundgøre os alle Ting.‟
The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (which is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
26 Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
27 Og i det samme kom hans Disciple, og de undrede sig over, at han talte med en Kvinde; dog sagde ingen: „Hvad søger du?‟ eller: „Hvorfor taler du med hende?‟
And upon this came his disciples; and they marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
28 Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke staa og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the men,
29 „Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?‟
Come, see a man, which told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
30 De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!‟
In the mean while the disciples prayed him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
32 Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
But he said unto them, I have meat to eat that ye know not.
33 Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: „Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?‟
The disciples therefore said one to another, Hath any man brought him [aught] to eat?
34 Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to accomplish his work.
35 Sige I ikke: Der er endnu fire Maaneder, saa kommer Høsten? Se, jeg siger eder, opløfter eders Øjne og ser Markerne; de ere allerede hvide til Høsten.
Say not ye, There are yet four months, and [then] cometh the harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields, that they are white already unto harvest.
36 Den, som høster, faar Løn og samler Frugt til et evigt Liv, saa at de kunne glæde sig tilsammen, baade den, som saar, og den, som høster. (aiōnios g166)
He that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal; that he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
For herein is the saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 Jeg har udsendt eder at høste det, som I ikke have arbejdet paa; andre have arbejdet, og I ere gaaede ind i deres Arbejde.‟
I sent you to reap that whereon ye have not laboured: others have laboured, and ye are entered into their labour.
39 Men mange af Samaritanerne fra den By troede paa ham paa Grund af Kvindens Ord, da hun vidnede: „Han har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort.‟
And from that city many of the Samaritans believed on him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all things that [ever] I did.
40 Da nu Samaritanerne kom til ham, bade de ham om at blive hos dem; og han blev der to Dage.
So when the Samaritans came unto him, they besought him to abide with them: and he abode there two days.
41 Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
And many more believed because of his word;
42 Og til Kvinden sagde de: „Vi tro nu ikke længer for din Tales Skyld; thi vi have selv hørt, og vi vide, at denne er sandelig Verdens Frelser.‟
and they said to the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy speaking: for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Saviour of the world.
43 Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
And after the two days he went forth from thence into Galilee.
44 Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
For Jesus himself testified, that a prophet hath no honour in his own country.
45 Da han nu kom til Galilæa, toge Galilæerne imod ham, fordi de havde set alt det, som han gjorde i Jerusalem paa Højtiden; thi ogsaa de vare komne til Højtiden.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast: for they also went unto the feast.
46 Han kom da atter til Kana i Galilæa, hvor han havde gjort Vandet til Vin. Og der var en kongelig Embedsmand, hvis Søn laa syg i Kapernaum.
He came therefore again unto Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Da denne hørte, at Jesus var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa, gik han til ham og bad om, at han vilde komme ned og helbrede hans Søn; thi han var Døden nær.
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought [him] that he would come down, and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.
48 Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.‟
Jesus therefore said unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will in no wise believe.
49 Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.‟
The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
50 Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.‟ Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. The man believed the word that Jesus spake unto him, and he went his way.
51 Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
And as he was now going down, his servants met him, saying, that his son lived.
52 Da udspurgte han dem om den Time, i hvilken det var blevet bedre med ham; og de sagde til ham: „I Gaar ved den syvende Time forlod Feberen ham.‟
So he inquired of them the hour when he began to amend. They said therefore unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
53 Da skønnede Faderen, at det var sket i den Time, da Jesus sagde til ham: „Din Søn lever; ‟ og han troede selv og hele hans Hus.
So the father knew that [it was] at that hour in which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.
54 Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judaea into Galilee.
