Johannes 9
1 Og da han gik forbi, saa han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,
2 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, saa han skulde fødes blind?‟
and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus svarede: „Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle aabenbares paa ham.
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.
4 Jeg maa gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, saa længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.
While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys.‟
While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
6 Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han paa Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet paa hans Øjne.
When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.
7 Og han sagde til ham: „Gaa hen, to dig i Dammen Siloam‟ (hvilket er udlagt: udsendt). Da gik han bort og toede sig, og han kom seende tilbage.
Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.
8 Da sagde Naboerne og de, som før vare vante til at se ham som Tigger: „Er det ikke ham, som sad og tiggede?‟
At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Nogle sagde: „Det er ham; ‟ men andre sagde: „Nej, han ligner ham.‟ Han selv sagde: „Det er mig.‟
Some claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”
10 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne aabnede?‟
“How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.
11 Han svarede: „En Mand, som kaldes Jesus, gjorde Dynd og smurte det paa mine Øjne og sagde til mig: Gaa hen til Siloam og to dig! Da jeg saa gik hen og toede mig, blev jeg seende.‟
He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”
12 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvor er han?‟ Han siger: „Det ved jeg ikke.‟
“Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.
13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.
14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og aabnede hans Øjne.
Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.
15 Atter spurgte nu ogsaa Farisæerne ham, hvorledes han var bleven seende. Men han sagde til dem: „Han lagde Dynd paa mine Øjne, og jeg toede mig, og nu ser jeg.‟
So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”
16 Nogle af Farisæerne sagde da: „Dette Menneske er ikke fra Gud, efterdi han ikke holder Sabbaten.‟ Andre sagde: „Hvorledes kan et syndigt Menneske gøre saadanne Tegn?‟ Og der var Splid imellem dem.
Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.
17 De sige da atter til den blinde: „Hvad siger du om ham, efterdi han aabnede dine Øjne?‟ Men han sagde: „Han er en Profet.‟
So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.
18 Saa troede Jøderne ikke om ham, at han havde været blind og var bleven seende, førend de fik kaldt paa Forældrene til ham, som havde faaet sit Syn.
The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents
19 Og de spurgte dem og sagde: „Er denne eders Søn, om hvem I sige, at han var født blind? Hvorledes er han da nu seende?‟
and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”
20 Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde: „Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han var født blind.
His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.
21 Men hvorledes han nu er bleven seende, vide vi ikke, og hvem der har aabnet hans Øjne, vide vi ikke heller; spørger ham; han er gammel nok; han maa selv tale for sig.‟
But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”
22 Dette sagde hans Forældre, fordi de frygtede for Jøderne; thi Jøderne vare allerede komne overens om, at dersom nogen bekendte ham som Kristus, skulde han udelukkes af Synagogen.
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: „Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!‟
That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”
24 Da hidkaldte de anden Gang Manden, som havde været blind, og sagde til ham: „Giv Gud Æren; vi vide, at dette Menneske er en Synder.‟
So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Da svarede han: „Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser.‟
He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”
26 De sagde da til ham igen: „Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes aabnede han dine Øjne?‟
“What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”
27 Han svarede dem: „Jeg har allerede sagt eder det, og I hørte ikke efter. Hvorfor ville I høre det igen? Ville ogsaa I blive hans Disciple?‟
He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”
28 Da udskældte de ham og sagde: „Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.
29 Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke, hvorfra han er.‟
We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”
30 Manden svarede og sagde til dem: „Det er dog underligt, at I ikke vide, hvorfra han er, og han har aabnet mine Øjne.
“That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.
31 Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.
We know that God does not listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.
Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre.‟
If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”
34 De svarede og sagde til ham: „Du er hel og holden født i Synder, og du vil lære os?‟ Og de stødte ham ud.
They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.
35 Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham, sagde han til ham: „Tror du paa Guds Søn?‟
When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 Han svarede og sagde: „Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro paa ham.‟
“Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”
37 Jesus sagde til ham: „Baade har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det.‟
“You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”
38 Men han sagde: „Jeg tror, Herre!‟ og han kastede sig ned for ham.
“Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.
39 Og Jesus sagde: „Til Dom er jeg kommen til denne Verden, for at de, som ikke se, skulle blive seende, og de, som se, skulle blive blinde.‟
Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”
40 Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: „Mon ogsaa vi ere blinde?‟
Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”
41 Jesus sagde til dem: „Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver.‟
“If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”
