Johannes 4
1 Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
Now when the Lord learned that the Pharisees heard he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
(although it was not Jesus himself who baptized them, but his disciples),
3 da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
he left Judea and went away to Galilee.
4 Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
But he had to 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 came to a town of Samaria called Sychar, near the plot of land that Jacob had given 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.
Jacob's well was there, so Jesus, wearied as he was from the journey, sat 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!‟
When a woman from Samaria came to draw water, Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
(For his disciples had gone 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.
So the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that yoʋ, being a Jew, ask for water to drink from me, 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 her, “If yoʋ knew the gift of God and who it is that is saying to yoʋ, ‘Give me some water to drink,’ yoʋ would have asked him, and he would have given yoʋ 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 said to him, “Sir, yoʋ do not even have a bucket to draw with, and the well is deep. Where then can yoʋ get this 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?‟
Are yoʋ greater than our father Jacob, who gave us this well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and livestock?”
13 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks this water will 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 said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I will not get thirsty again and have to come here to draw water.”
16 Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!‟
Jesus said to her, “Go call yoʋr husband and come back here.”
17 Kvinden svarede og sagde: „Jeg har ingen Mand.‟ Jesus siger til hende: „Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “Yoʋ have rightly said, ‘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 yoʋ have had five husbands, and the man yoʋ now have is not yoʋr husband; what yoʋ have said is true.”
19 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that yoʋ are a prophet.
20 Vore Fædre have tilbedet paa dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede.‟
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.”
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 said to her, “Woman, believe me, an hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.
22 I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, because 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 an hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such people to worship him.
24 Gud er Aand, og de, som tilbede ham, bør tilbede i Aand og Sandhed.‟
God is spirit, and those who 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 said to him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
Jesus said to her, “I who speak to yoʋ 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?‟
Just then his disciples came back, and they were amazed that he was speaking with a woman. However, no one said, “What do yoʋ seek?” or, “Why are yoʋ speaking with her?”
28 Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke staa og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
Then the woman left her water jar, went into the town, and said to the people,
29 „Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?‟
“Come see a man who told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Christ?”
30 De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
So they left the town and began coming to him.
31 Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!‟
In the meantime the disciples were urging him, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: „Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?‟
So the disciples said to one another, “Could someone have brought him something to eat?”
34 Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete 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.
Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that the fields are already ripe for 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 who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
For in this the true saying is verified: ‘One sows and another reaps.’
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 for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
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.‟
Now many of the Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony: “He told me everything I have ever done.”
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 to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there for 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.‟
So they said to the woman, “It is no longer because of yoʋr report that we believe, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this is truly the Christ, the Savior of the world.”
43 Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
After two days, he departed from there and went to Galilee.
44 Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
(For Jesus himself had testified that a prophet has no honor in his own hometown.)
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.
When he came to Galilee, the Galileans received him because they had seen all that he had done in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also had gone to 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.
Once more Jesus went to Cana of Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine. Now there was a certain royal official whose son was sick in 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 had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for his son was about to die.
48 Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.‟
Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will certainly not believe.”
49 Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.‟
The royal official said to him, “Sir, come down before my boy dies.”
50 Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.‟ Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
Jesus said to him, “Go; yoʋr son will live.” And the man believed what Jesus said to him and went on his way.
51 Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
As he was going back down to his house, his servants met him and told him, “Yoʋr son is alive.”
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 asked them what hour he began to get better. They said to 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.
Then the father realized that this was the hour when Jesus had said to him, “Yoʋr son will live.” So he believed, along with his entire household.
54 Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
This was the second sign that Jesus did after coming from Judea to Galilee.
