Johannes 9
1 Og da han gik forbi, saa han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
Now as he was passing along 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?‟
"Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "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.
"Neither he nor his parents sinned." replied Jesus; "it happened that the works of God might be made manifest in him.
4 Jeg maa gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, saa længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.
"I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no man 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 he had thus spoken he spat on the ground, and made clay with the spittle, and smeared the clay on 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 said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (a word which means "sent"). So the man went and washed his eyes, 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?‟
Upon this the neighbors and those who used to know him by sight as a beggar, began asking, "Is not 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 said, "It is he." Others said, "No, but he looks like him." "I am the man," he said.
10 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne aabnede?‟
So they asked him, "How then were your eyes opened?"
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 who is called Jesus made clay and anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘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," answered the man.
13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
Then they brought the man who had been blind to the Pharisees.
14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og aabnede hans Øjne.
Now it was on the Sabbath that Jesus had made clay and opened his eyes;
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 again began to ask him questions about how he had regained his sight; and he said to them, "He put clay on my eyes, and I washed them, and now I 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.
Then some of the Pharisees began to say, "This man in not from God, because he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?"
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 there was a difference of opinion among them. Accordingly they said to the blind man, "What have you to say about him, now that he has opened your eyes?" "He is a prophet," he answered.
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, however, did not believe about him that he was blind and had received his sight, until they called the parents of the man whose sight had been restored,
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 questioned them. "Is this your son," they said, "who you say was born blind? How then does he now see?"
20 Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde: „Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han var født blind.
Then in reply his parents said. "We know that this is our son, and that 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 now sees we do not know, nor do we know who has opened his eyes. Ask him, himself. He is of age. He will 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.
This his parents said because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one should confess that he was the Christ, he should be expelled from the synagogue.
23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: „Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!‟
It was because this that his parents said. "He is of age. Ask him, himself."
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 the Jews a second time summoned the man who had been blind, and said to him.
25 Da svarede han: „Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser.‟
"Give glory to God! we know that this man is a sinner." Upon this the blind man answered. "I do not know if he is a sinner. One thing I do know, that once I was blind, and know I can see."
26 De sagde da til ham igen: „Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes aabnede han dine Øjne?‟
"What was it he did to you?" they asked him; "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 answered. "I have told you already, and you did not listen. Why do you wish to hear it again? Can it be that you, too, wish to become his disciples?"
28 Da udskældte de ham og sagde: „Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
Then they stormed at him. "You are his disciple. We are Moses’ disciples.
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 this fellow! We do not know where he comes 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.
"This is truly astonishing," said the man in reply, "that you do not know where he is from, and yet he has 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 if any one is God- fearing and does his will, to such he listens.
"Since the beginning of the world such a thing as opening the eyes of one who was born blind was never heard of. (aiōn g165)
33 Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre.‟
"If this man had not come of God he could have done nothing."
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 answered, "You were wholly born in sins, and do you teach us?" Then they cast him out.
35 Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham, sagde han til ham: „Tror du paa Guds Søn?‟
Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he 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, "that I may believe on 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, "and it is he who now speaks to you."
38 Men han sagde: „Jeg tror, Herre!‟ og han kastede sig ned for ham.
"I do believe, Sir," said the man, and he prostrated himself at his feet. And Jesus said,
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.‟
"For judgment am I come into the world, to make the sightless see, and to make the seeing 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 asked, "We are not blind, are we?"
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 answered them, "you would have no sin. But now you are declaring, ‘We see’; so your sin remains.
