Johannes 5
1 Derefter var det Jødernes Højtid, og Jesus gik op til Jerusalem.
Some time later there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Men der er i Jerusalem ved Faareporten en Dam, som paa Hebraisk kaldes Bethesda, og den har fem Søjlegange.
Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool with five covered colonnades, which in Hebrew is called Bethesda.
3 I dem laa der en Mængde syge, blinde, lamme, visne, [som ventede paa, at Vandet skulde røres.
On these walkways lay a great number of the sick, the blind, the lame, and the paralyzed.
4 Thi paa visse Tider for en Engel ned i Dammen og oprørte Vandet. Den, som da, efter at Vandet var blevet oprørt, steg først ned, blev rask, hvilken Sygdom han end led af.]
5 Men der var en Mand, som havde været syg i otte og tredive Aar.
One man there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years.
6 Da Jesus saa ham ligge der og vidste, at han allerede havde ligget i lang Tid, sagde han til ham: „Vil du blive rask?‟
When Jesus saw him lying there and realized that he had spent a long time in this condition, He asked him, “Do you want to get well?”
7 Den syge svarede ham: „Herre! jeg har ingen, som kan bringe mig ned i Dammen, naar Vandet bliver oprørt; men naar jeg kommer, stiger en anden ned før mig.‟
“Sir,” the invalid replied, “I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am on my way, someone else goes in before me.”
8 Jesus siger til ham: „Staa op, tag din Seng og gaa!‟
Then Jesus told him, “Get up, pick up your mat, and walk.”
9 Og straks blev Manden rask, og han tog sin Seng og gik. Men det var Sabbat paa den Dag;
Immediately the man was made well, and he picked up his mat and began to walk. Now this happened on the Sabbath day,
10 derfor sagde Jøderne til ham, som var bleven helbredet: „Det er Sabbat; og det er dig ikke tilladt at bære Sengen.‟
so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, “This is the Sabbath! It is unlawful for you to carry your mat.”
11 Han svarede dem: „Den, som gjorde mig rask, han sagde til mig: Tag din Seng og gaa!‟
But he answered, “The man who made me well told me, ‘Pick up your mat and walk.’”
12 Da spurgte de ham: „Hvem er det Menneske, som sagde til dig: Tag din Seng og gaa?‟
“Who is this man who told you to pick it up and walk?” they asked.
13 Men han, som var bleven helbredet, vidste ikke, hvem det var; thi Jesus havde unddraget sig, da der var mange Mennesker paa Stedet.
But the man who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away while the crowd was there.
14 Derefter finder Jesus ham i Helligdommen, og han sagde til ham: „Se, du er bleven rask; synd ikke mere, for at ikke noget værre skal times dig!‟
Afterward, Jesus found the man at the temple and said to him, “See, you have been made well. Stop sinning, or something worse may happen to you.”
15 Manden gik bort og sagde til Jøderne, at det var Jesus, som havde gjort ham rask.
And the man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
16 Og derfor forfulgte Jøderne Jesus, fordi han havde gjort dette paa en Sabbat.
Now because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews began to persecute Him.
17 Men Jesus svarede dem: „Min Fader arbejder indtil nu; ogsaa jeg arbejder.‟
But Jesus answered them, “To this very day My Father is at His work, and I too am working.”
18 Derfor tragtede da Jøderne end mere efter at slaa ham ihjel, fordi han ikke alene brød Sabbaten, men ogsaa kaldte Gud sin egen Fader og gjorde sig selv Gud lig.
Because of this, the Jews tried all the harder to kill Him. Not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.
19 Saa svarede Jesus og sagde til dem: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, Sønnen kan slet intet gøre af sig selv, uden hvad han ser Faderen gøre; thi hvad han gør, det gør ogsaa Sønnen ligesaa.
So Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.
20 Thi Faderen elsker Sønnen og viser ham alt det, han selv gør, og han skal vise ham større Gerninger end disse, for at I skulle undre eder.
The Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement, He will show Him even greater works than these.
21 Thi ligesom Faderen oprejser de døde og gør levende, saaledes gør ogsaa Sønnen levende, hvem han vil.
For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom He wishes.
22 Thi heller ikke dømmer Faderen nogen, men har givet Sønnen hele Dommen,
Furthermore, the Father judges no one, but has assigned all judgment to the Son,
23 for at alle skulle ære Sønnen, ligesom de ære Faderen. Den, som ikke ærer Sønnen, ærer ikke Faderen, som udsendte ham.
so that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
24 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som hører mit Ord og tror den, som sendte mig, har et evigt Liv og kommer ikke til Dom, men er gaaet over fra Døden til Livet. (aiōnios g166)
Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den Time kommer, ja den er nu, da de døde skulle høre Guds Søns Røst, og de, som høre den, skulle leve.
Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
26 Thi ligesom Faderen har Liv i sig selv, saaledes har han ogsaa givet Sønnen at have Liv i sig selv.
For as the Father has life in Himself, so also He has granted the Son to have life in Himself.
27 Og han har givet ham Magt til at holde Dom, efterdi han er Menneskesøn.
And He has given Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.
28 Undrer eder ikke herover; thi den Time kommer, paa hvilken alle de, som ere i Gravene, skulle høre hans Røst,
Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming when all who are in their graves will hear His voice
29 og de skulle gaa frem, de, som have gjort det gode, til Livets Opstandelse, men de, som have gjort det onde, til Dommens Opstandelse.
and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30 Jeg kan slet intet gøre af mig selv; saaledes som jeg hører, dømmer jeg, og min Dom er retfærdig; thi jeg søger ikke min Villie, men hans Villie, som sendte mig.
I can do nothing by Myself; I judge only as I hear. And My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.
31 Dersom jeg vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd ikke sandt.
If I testify about Myself, My testimony is not valid.
32 Det er en anden, som vidner om mig, og jeg ved, at det Vidnesbyrd er sandt, som han vidner om mig.
There is another who testifies about Me, and I know that His testimony about Me is valid.
33 I have sendt Bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for Sandheden.
You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
34 Dog, jeg henter ikke Vidnesbyrdet fra et Menneske; men dette siger jeg, for at I skulle frelses.
Even though I do not accept human testimony, I say these things so that you may be saved.
35 Han var det brændende og skinnende Lys, og I have til en Tid villet fryde eder ved hans Lys.
John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you were willing for a season to bask in his light.
36 Men det Vidnesbyrd, som jeg har, er større end Johannes's; thi de Gerninger, som Faderen har givet mig at fuldbyrde, selve de Gerninger, som jeg gør, vidne om mig, at Faderen har udsendt mig.
But I have testimony more substantial than that of John. For the works that the Father has given Me to accomplish—the very works I am doing—testify about Me that the Father has sent Me.
37 Og Faderen, som sendte mig, han har vidnet om mig. I have aldrig hverken hørt hans Røst eller set hans Skikkelse,
And the Father who sent Me has Himself testified about Me. You have never heard His voice nor seen His form,
38 og hans Ord have I ikke blivende i eder; thi den, som han udsendte, ham tro I ikke.
nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.
39 I ransage Skrifterne, fordi I mene i dem at have evigt Liv; og det er dem, som vidne om mig. (aiōnios g166)
You pore over the Scriptures because you presume that by them you possess eternal life. These are the very words that testify about Me, (aiōnios g166)
40 Og I ville ikke komme til mig, for at I kunne have Liv.
yet you refuse to come to Me to have life.
41 Jeg tager ikke Ære af Mennesker;
I do not accept glory from men,
42 men jeg kender eder, at I have ikke Guds Kærlighed i eder.
but I know you, that you do not have the love of God within you.
43 Jeg er kommen i min Faders Navn, og I modtage mig ikke; dersom en anden kommer i sit eget Navn, ham ville I modtage.
I have come in My Father’s name, and you have not received Me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will receive him.
44 Hvorledes kunne I tro, I, som tage Ære af hverandre, og den Ære, som er fra den eneste Gud, søge I ikke?
How can you believe if you accept glory from one another, yet do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
45 Tænker ikke, at jeg vil anklage eder for Faderen; der er en, som anklager eder, Moses, til hvem I have sat eders Haab.
Do not think that I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, in whom you have put your hope.
46 Thi dersom I troede Moses, troede I mig; thi han har skrevet om mig.
If you had believed Moses, you would believe Me, because he wrote about Me.
47 Men tro I ikke hans Skrifter, hvorledes skulle I da tro mine Ord?‟
But since you do not believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?”
