Johannes 9
1 Og da han gik forbi, saa han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
As Jesus walked along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth.
2 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, saa han skulde fødes blind?”
His disciples asked him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be 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 did this man sin nor his parents, but it happened so that the works of God might be revealed 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 do the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys.”
As long as 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.
After saying this, he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he rubbed the mud on the blind 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.
and said to him, “Go wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So he went and washed, and came away 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?”
Then his neighbors and those who had previously seen that he was blind were saying, “Is this not 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.”
Others were saying, “It is he.” Still others were saying, “He is like him.” But he kept saying, “I am he.”
10 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne aabnede?”
So they said to him, “How were yoʋr 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, “A man named Jesus made mud, rubbed it on my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of 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.”
They said to him, “Where is this man?” He said, “I do not know.”
13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
So they brought the man who was once blind to the Pharisees.
14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og aabnede hans Øjne.
(Now it was a Sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened the man's 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.”
The Pharisees again asked him how he had received his sight, and he said to them, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, 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 were saying, “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath.” But others were saying, “How can a sinful man do such signs?” And a division arose 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 they said to the blind man again, “What do yoʋ say about him, since he opened yoʋr eyes?” The man said, “He is a prophet.”
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.
Now the Jews did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they called in 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?”
They asked them, “Is this your son, 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.
His parents answered them, “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 can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. He is of age; ask him. 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.
(His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone should confess that Jesus was the Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: „Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!”
That is why his parents said, “He is of age; 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 for a second time they called in the man who had been blind and said to him, “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 or not, I do not know; one thing I know, that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 De sagde da til ham igen: „Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes aabnede han dine Øjne?”
Again they said to him, “What did he do to yoʋ? How did he open yoʋr 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 them, “I told you already, 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 reviled him and said, “Yoʋ are a disciple of that man, but 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 has spoken to Moses, but as for this man, we do not know where he 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.
The man answered them, “Why, this is an amazing thing, that 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 anyone who is devout and does his will.
Never before has anyone heard of someone 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 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 him, “Yoʋ were born entirely in sin, and yet yoʋ are trying to teach 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?”
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, so he found the man and said to him, “Do yoʋ believe in the Son of God?”
36 Han svarede og sagde: „Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro paa ham.”
He answered, “Who is he, Lord, 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.”
Jesus said to him, “Yoʋ have seen him, and the one speaking with yoʋ is he.”
38 Men han sagde: „Jeg tror, Herre!” og han kastede sig ned for ham.
The man said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped him.
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 said, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that those who do not see 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 said to him, “We are not also 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.”
Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but now you say, ‘We see.’ Therefore your sin remains.
