Johannes 11
1 Men der laa en Mand syg, Lazarus fra Bethania, den Landsby, hvor Maria og hendes Søster Martha boede.
And there was a certain one ailing, Lazarus, from Bethany, of the village of Mary and Martha her sister —
2 Men Maria var den, som salvede Herren med Salve og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Haar; hendes Broder Lazarus var syg.
and it was Mary who did anoint the Lord with ointment, and did wipe his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was ailing —
3 Da sendte Søstrene Bud til ham og lod sige: „Herre! se, den, du elsker, er syg.”
therefore sent the sisters unto him, saying, 'Sir, lo, he whom thou dost love is ailing;'
4 Men da Jesus hørte dette, sagde han: „Denne Sygdom er ikke til Døden, men for Guds Herligheds Skyld, for at Guds Søn skal herliggøres ved den.”
and Jesus having heard, said, 'This ailment is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God may be glorified through it.'
5 Men Jesus elskede Martha og hendes Søster og Lazarus.
And Jesus was loving Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus,
6 Da han nu hørte, at han var syg, blev han dog to Dage paa det Sted, hvor han var.
when, therefore, he heard that he is ailing, then indeed he remained in the place in which he was two days,
7 Derefter siger han saa til Disciplene: „Lader os gaa til Judæa igen!”
then after this, he saith to the disciples, 'We may go to Judea again;'
8 Disciplene sige til ham: „Rabbi! nylig søgte Jøderne at stene dig, og du drager atter derhen?”
the disciples say to him, 'Rabbi, now were the Jews seeking to stone thee, and again thou dost go thither!'
9 Jesus svarede: „Har Dagen ikke tolv Timer? Vandrer nogen om Dagen, da støder han ikke an; thi han ser denne Verdens Lys.
Jesus answered, 'Are there not twelve hours in the day? if any one may walk in the day, he doth not stumble, because the light of this world he doth see;
10 Men vandrer nogen om Natten, da støder han an; thi Lyset er ikke i ham.”
and if any one may walk in the night, he stumbleth, because the light is not in him.'
11 Dette sagde han, og derefter siger han til dem: „Lazarus, vor Ven, er sovet ind; men jeg gaar hen for at vække ham af Søvne.”
These things he said, and after this he saith to them, 'Lazarus our friend hath fallen asleep, but I go on that I may awake him;'
12 Da sagde Disciplene til ham: „Herre! sover han, da bliver han helbredet.”
therefore said his disciples, 'Sir, if he hath fallen asleep, he will be saved;'
13 Men Jesus havde talt om hans Død; de derimod mente, at han talte om Søvnens Hvile.
but Jesus had spoken about his death, but they thought that about the repose of sleep he speaketh.
14 Derfor sagde da Jesus dem rent ud: „Lazarus er død!
Then, therefore, Jesus said to them freely, 'Lazarus hath died;
15 Og for eders Skyld er jeg glad over, at jeg ikke var der, for at I skulle tro; men lader os gaa til ham!”
and I rejoice, for your sake, (that ye may believe, ) that I was not there; but we may go to him;'
16 Da sagde Thomas (hvilket betyder Tvilling), til sine Meddisciple: „Lader os ogsaa gaa, for at vi kunne dø med ham!”
therefore said Thomas, who is called Didymus, to the fellow-disciples, 'We may go — we also, that we may die with him,'
17 Da Jesus nu kom, fandt han, at han havde ligget i Graven allerede fire Dage.
Jesus, therefore, having come, found him having been four days already in the tomb.
18 Men Bethania var nær ved Jerusalem, omtrent femten Stadier derfra.
And Bethany was nigh to Jerusalem, about fifteen furlongs off,
19 Og mange af Jøderne vare komne til Martha og Maria for at trøste dem over deres Broder.
and many of the Jews had come unto Martha and Mary, that they might comfort them concerning their brother;
20 Da Martha nu hørte, at Jesus kom, gik hun ham i Møde; men Maria blev siddende i Huset.
Martha, therefore, when she heard that Jesus doth come, met him, and Mary kept sitting in the house.
21 Da sagde Martha til Jesus: „Herre! havde du været her, da var min Broder ikke død.
Martha, therefore, said unto Jesus, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;
22 Men ogsaa nu ved jeg, at hvad som helst du beder Gud om, vil Gud give dig.”
but even now, I have known that whatever thou mayest ask of God, God will give to thee;'
23 Jesus siger til hende: „Din Broder skal opstaa.”
Jesus saith to her, 'Thy brother shall rise again.'
24 Martha siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at han skal opstaa i Opstandelsen paa den yderste Dag.”
Martha saith to him, 'I have known that he will rise again, in the rising again in the last day;'
25 Jesus sagde til hende: „Jeg er Opstandelsen og Livet; den, som tror paa mig, skal leve, om han end dør.
Jesus said to her, 'I am the rising again, and the life; he who is believing in me, even if he may die, shall live;
and every one who is living and believing in me shall not die — to the age; (aiōn g165)
27 Hun siger til ham: „Ja, Herre! jeg tror, at du er Kristus, Guds Søn, den, som kommer til Verden.”
believest thou this?' she saith to him, 'Yes, sir, I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming to the world.'
28 Og da hun havde sagt dette, gik hun bort og kaldte hemmeligt sin Søster Maria og sagde: „Mesteren er her og kalder ad dig.”
And these things having said, she went away, and called Mary her sister privately, saying, 'The Teacher is present, and doth call thee;'
29 Da hun hørte det, rejste hun sig hastigt og gik til ham.
she, when she heard, riseth up quickly, and doth come to him;
30 Men Jesus var endnu ikke kommen til Landsbyen, men var paa det Sted, hvor Martha havde mødt ham.
and Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was in the place where Martha met him;
31 Da nu Jøderne, som vare hos hende i Huset og trøstede hende, saa, at Maria stod hastigt op og gik ud, fulgte de hende, idet de mente, at hun gik ud til Graven for at græde der.
the Jews, therefore, who were with her in the house, and were comforting her, having seen Mary that she rose up quickly and went forth, followed her, saying — 'She doth go away to the tomb, that she may weep there.'
32 Da Maria nu kom derhen, hvor Jesus var, og saa ham, faldt hun ned for hans Fødder og sagde til ham: „Herre! havde du været her, da var min Broder ikke død.”
Mary, therefore, when she came where Jesus was, having seen him, fell at his feet, saying to him, 'Sir, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died;'
33 Da nu Jesus saa hende græde og saa Jøderne, som vare komne med hende, græde, harmedes han i Aanden og blev heftigt bevæget i sit Indre; og han sagde:
Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, did groan in the spirit, and troubled himself, and he said,
34 „Hvor have I lagt ham?” De sige til ham: „Herre! kom og se!”
'Where have ye laid him?' they say to him, 'Sir, come and see;'
35 Jesus græd.
Jesus wept.
36 Da sagde Jøderne: „Se, hvor han elskede ham!”
The Jews, therefore, said, 'Lo, how he was loving him!'
37 Men nogle af dem sagde: „Kunde ikke han, som aabnede den blindes Øjne, have gjort, at ogsaa denne ikke var død?”
and certain of them said, 'Was not this one, who did open the eyes of the blind man, able to cause that also this one might not have died?'
38 Da harmes Jesus atter i sit Indre og gaar hen til Graven. Men det var en Hule, og en Sten laa for den.
Jesus, therefore, again groaning in himself, cometh to the tomb, and it was a cave, and a stone was lying upon it,
39 Jesus siger: „Tager Stenen bort!” Martha, den dødes Søster, siger til ham: „Herre! han stinker allerede; thi han har ligget der fire Dage.”
Jesus saith, 'Take ye away the stone;' the sister of him who hath died — Martha — saith to him, 'Sir, already he stinketh, for he is four days dead;'
40 Jesus siger til hende: „Sagde jeg ikke, at dersom du tror, skal du se Guds Herlighed?”
Jesus saith to her, 'Said I not to thee, that if thou mayest believe, thou shalt see the glory of God?'
41 Da toge de Stenen bort. Men Jesus opløftede sine Øjne og sagde: „Fader! jeg takker dig, fordi du har hørt mig.
They took away, therefore, the stone where the dead was laid, and Jesus lifted his eyes upwards, and said, 'Father, I thank Thee, that Thou didst hear me;
42 Jeg vidste vel, at du altid hører mig; men for Skarens Skyld, som staar omkring, sagde jeg det, for at de skulle tro, at du har udsendt mig.”
and I knew that Thou always dost hear me, but, because of the multitude that is standing by, I said [it], that they may believe that Thou didst send me.'
43 Og da han havde sagt dette, raabte han med høj Røst: „Lazarus, kom herud!”
And these things saying, with a loud voice he cried out, 'Lazarus, come forth;'
44 Og den døde kom ud, bunden med Jordeklæder om Fødder og Hænder, og et Tørklæde var bundet om hans Ansigt. Jesus siger til dem: „Løser ham, og lader ham gaa!”
and he who died came forth, being bound feet and hands with grave-clothes, and his visage with a napkin was bound about; Jesus saith to them, 'Loose him, and suffer to go.'
45 Mange af de Jøder, som vare komne til Maria og havde set, hvad han havde gjort, troede nu paa ham;
Many, therefore, of the Jews who came unto Mary, and beheld what Jesus did, believed in him;
46 men nogle af dem gik hen til Farisæerne og sagde dem, hvad Jesus havde gjort.
but certain of them went away unto the Pharisees, and told them what Jesus did;
47 Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne sammenkaldte da et Møde af Raadet og sagde: „Hvad gøre vi? thi dette Menneske gør mange Tegn.
the chief priests, therefore, and the Pharisees, gathered together a sanhedrim, and said, 'What may we do? because this man doth many signs?
48 Dersom vi lade ham saaledes blive ved, ville alle tro paa ham, og Romerne ville komme og tage baade vort Land og Folk.”
if we may let him alone thus, all will believe in him; and the Romans will come, and will take away both our place and nation.'
49 Men en af dem, Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det Aar, sagde til dem:
and a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being chief priest of that year, said to them, 'Ye have not known anything,
50 „I vide intet; ej heller betænke I, at det er os gavnligt, at eet Menneske dør for Folket, og at ikke det hele Folk skal gaa til Grunde.”
nor reason that it is good for us that one man may die for the people, and not the whole nation perish.'
51 Men dette sagde han ikke af sig selv; men da han var Ypperstepræst i det Aar, profeterede han, at Jesus skulde dø for Folket;
And this he said not of himself, but being chief priest of that year, he did prophesy that Jesus was about to die for the nation,
52 og ikke for Folket alene, men for at han ogsaa kunde samle Guds adspredte Børn sammen til eet.
and not for the nation only, but that also the children of God, who have been scattered abroad, he may gather together into one.
53 Fra den Dag af raadsloge de derfor om at ihjelslaa ham.
From that day, therefore, they took counsel together that they may kill him;
54 Derfor vandrede Jesus ikke mere frit om iblandt Jøderne, men gik bort derfra ud paa Landet, nær ved Ørkenen, til en By, som kaldes Efraim; og han blev der med sine Disciple.
Jesus, therefore, was no more freely walking among the Jews, but went away thence to the region nigh the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim, and there he tarried with his disciples.
55 Men Jødernes Paaske var nær; og mange fra Landet gik op til Jerusalem før Paasken for at rense sig.
And the passover of the Jews was nigh, and many went up to Jerusalem out of the country before the passover, that they might purify themselves;
56 Da ledte de efter Jesus og sagde mellem hverandre, da de stode i Helligdommen: „Hvad mene I? Mon han ikke kommer til Højtiden?”
they were seeking, therefore, Jesus, and said one with another, standing in the temple, 'What doth appear to you — that he may not come to the feast?'
57 Men Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne havde givet Befaling om, at dersom nogen vidste, hvor han var, skulde han give det til Kende, for at de kunde gribe ham.
and both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a command, that if any one may know where he is, he may shew [it], so that they may seize him.
