Johannes 4
1 Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was gaining and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
(although Jesus Himself wasn’t baptizing, but His disciples were),
3 da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
He left Judea, and went back towards Galilee.
4 Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
He had to go through Samaria.
5 Han kommer da til en By i Samaria, som kaldes Sykar, nær ved det Stykke Land, som Jakob gav sin Søn Josef.
He came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph,
6 Og der var Jakobs Brønd. Jesus satte sig da, træt af Rejsen, ned ved Brønden; det var ved den sjette Time.
and Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from His journey, sat down by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 En samaritansk Kvinde kommer for at drage Vand op. Jesus siger til hende: „Giv mig noget at drikke!‟
A Samaritan woman came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Please give me a drink.”
8 Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.
9 Da siger den samaritanske Kvinde til ham: „Hvorledes kan dog du, som er en Jøde, bede mig, som er en samaritansk Kvinde, om noget at drikke?‟ Thi Jøder holde ikke Samkvem med Samaritaner.
The Samaritan woman therefore asked Him, “How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink, since I’m a Samaritan woman?” (For Jews have nothing to do with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Dersom du kendte Guds Gave, og hvem det er, som siger til dig: Giv mig noget at drikke, da bad du ham, og han gav dig levende Vand.‟
Jesus answered her, “If you knew God’s gift, and who it is who says to you, ‘Please give me a drink,’ you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.”
11 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! du har jo intet at drage op med, og Brønden er dyb; hvorfra har du da det levende Vand?
The woman said, “Sir, you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where could you get this living water from?
12 Mon du er større end vor Fader Jakob, som har givet os Brønden, og han har selv drukket deraf og hans Børn og hans Kvæg?‟
Are You greater than our forefather Jacob, who gave us this well and who used to drink from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?”
13 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
Jesus answered her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will get thirsty again,
15 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! giv mig dette Vand, for at jeg ikke skal tørste og ikke komme hid for at drage op.‟
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I won’t get thirsty and have to keep coming all the way here to draw water.”
16 Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!‟
Jesus told her, “Go, call your husband, and come here.”
17 Kvinden svarede og sagde: „Jeg har ingen Mand.‟ Jesus siger til hende: „Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
The woman answered, “I have no husband.” Jesus told her, “You are right in saying, ‘I have no husband,’
18 Thi du har haft fem Mænd; og han, som du nu har, er ikke din Mand. Det har du sagt sandt.‟
for you have had five husbands, and the one you have now isn’t your husband. What you have said is quite true.”
19 Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet.
20 Vore Fædre have tilbedet paa dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede.‟
Our ancestors worshipped on this mountain, but you Jews say that the place where we must worship is in Jerusalem.”
21 Jesus siger til hende: „Tro mig, Kvinde, at den Time kommer, da det hverken skal være paa dette Bjerg eller i Jerusalem, at I tilbede Faderen.
Jesus told her, “Woman, believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem.
22 I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
You Samaritans worship what you don’t know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Men den Time kommer, ja, den er nu, da de sande Tilbedere skulle tilbede Faderen i Aand og Sandhed; thi det er saadanne Tilbedere, Faderen vil have.
A time is coming, and has now come, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers that the Father seeks.
24 Gud er Aand, og de, som tilbede ham, bør tilbede i Aand og Sandhed.‟
God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Kvinden siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at Messias kommer (hvilket betyder Kristus); naar han kommer, skal han kundgøre os alle Ting.‟
The woman said to Him, “I know that the Messiah (who is called Christ) is coming. When He comes, He will explain everything to us.”
26 Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
Jesus told her, “I who speak to you am He.”
27 Og i det samme kom hans Disciple, og de undrede sig over, at han talte med en Kvinde; dog sagde ingen: „Hvad søger du?‟ eller: „Hvorfor taler du med hende?‟
Just then Jesus’ disciples returned. They were surprised to find him talking with a woman, but no one asked, “What do you want?” or “Why are you talking with her?”
28 Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke staa og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and began telling the people,
29 „Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?‟
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?”
30 De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
They went out of the city, and started to go to Him.
31 Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!‟
Meanwhile, the disciples urged Him, saying “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
He told them, “I have food to eat that you don’t know about.”
33 Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: „Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?‟
So the disciples asked one another, “Nobody brought Him anything to eat, did they?”
34 Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
Jesus told them, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to accomplish His work.
35 Sige I ikke: Der er endnu fire Maaneder, saa kommer Høsten? Se, jeg siger eder, opløfter eders Øjne og ser Markerne; de ere allerede hvide til Høsten.
Don’t you say, ‘It’s still four months until the harvest’? Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes, and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.
36 Den, som høster, faar Løn og samler Frugt til et evigt Liv, saa at de kunne glæde sig tilsammen, baade den, som saar, og den, som høster. (aiōnios g166)
He who harvests is already receiving wages, and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that he who plants and he who harvests may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
Thus the saying ‘One plants and another harvests’ is true.
38 Jeg har udsendt eder at høste det, som I ikke have arbejdet paa; andre have arbejdet, og I ere gaaede ind i deres Arbejde.‟
I sent you to harvest that for which you didn’t labor. Others have labored, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Men mange af Samaritanerne fra den By troede paa ham paa Grund af Kvindens Ord, da hun vidnede: „Han har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort.‟
Many Samaritans from that town believed in Jesus because of the woman’s testimony, “He told me everything that I ever did.”
40 Da nu Samaritanerne kom til ham, bade de ham om at blive hos dem; og han blev der to Dage.
So when the Samaritans arrived, they asked Him to stay with them, and He stayed there two days.
41 Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
Many more believed because of His words.
42 Og til Kvinden sagde de: „Vi tro nu ikke længer for din Tales Skyld; thi vi have selv hørt, og vi vide, at denne er sandelig Verdens Frelser.‟
They told the woman, “It’s no longer just because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world, the Christ.”
43 Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
After the two days, He departed from there and went to Galilee,
44 Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Da han nu kom til Galilæa, toge Galilæerne imod ham, fordi de havde set alt det, som han gjorde i Jerusalem paa Højtiden; thi ogsaa de vare komne til Højtiden.
When He arrived in Galilee, the Galileans welcomed Him. They had seen all that He had done in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, for they had been there, too.
46 Han kom da atter til Kana i Galilæa, hvor han havde gjort Vandet til Vin. Og der var en kongelig Embedsmand, hvis Søn laa syg i Kapernaum.
Therefore He came back to Cana of Galilee, where He had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official, whose son was sick at Capernaum.
47 Da denne hørte, at Jesus var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa, gik han til ham og bad om, at han vilde komme ned og helbrede hans Søn; thi han var Døden nær.
When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and begged Him to come down and heal his son, who was at the point of death.
48 Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.‟
Jesus told him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will never believe.”
49 Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.‟
The royal official said to Him, “Sir, come down before my child dies!”
50 Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.‟ Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
Jesus told him, “Go in peace. Your son lives.” So the man believed the words that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
51 Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
As he was still going down the road, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
52 Da udspurgte han dem om den Time, i hvilken det var blevet bedre med ham; og de sagde til ham: „I Gaar ved den syvende Time forlod Feberen ham.‟
So he asked them the hour when he began to recover, and they told him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.”
53 Da skønnede Faderen, at det var sket i den Time, da Jesus sagde til ham: „Din Søn lever; ‟ og han troede selv og hele hans Hus.
The father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus told him, “Your son lives,” and he himself believed, along with his whole household.
54 Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
This was the second sign that Jesus did, when He had come from out of Judea to Galilee.
