Johannes 4
1 Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
Therefore when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John"
2 (skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
(although Jesus himself did not baptize, but his disciples),
3 da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
he left Judea, and departed again into Galilee.
4 Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
He needed to pass 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.
So 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.
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 woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
8 Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
For his disciples had gone away into the city 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 said to him, "How can you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings 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 the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, '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 to him, "Sir, you have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. From where do you get that living water?
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 father, Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, as did his children, and his livestock?"
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 thirst 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 do not get thirsty, neither come all the way here to draw."
16 Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!‟
He said to 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 and said to him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You said well, '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 he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly."
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 fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship."
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 said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour comes, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you worship the Father.
22 I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
You worship that which you do not know. We worship that which 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.
But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshippers.
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 Messiah comes," (he who is called Christ). "When he has come, he will declare to us all things."
26 Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
Jesus said to her, "I am he, the one who speaks to you."
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?‟
At this, his disciples came. They were surprised that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, "What are you looking for?" or, "Why do you speak with her?"
28 Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke staa og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
So the woman left her water pot, and went away into the city, and said to 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 did. Can this be the Christ?"
30 De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
31 Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!‟
In the meanwhile, the disciples urged him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."
32 Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you do not know about."
33 Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: „Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?‟
The disciples therefore said one to another, "Has anyone brought him something to eat?"
34 Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
Jesus said to 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.
Do you not say, 'There are yet four months until the harvest?' Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are white for harvest already.
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 reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit to everlasting life; that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
For in this the saying is true, 'One sows, and another reaps.'
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 reap that for which you have not labored. 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.‟
From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, "He told me everything that I 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 came to him, they asked him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.
41 Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
Many more believed because of his word.
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 said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Savior of the world."
43 Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
After the two days he departed from there 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.
So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
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.
Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman 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 pleaded with him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was close to death.
48 Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.‟
Jesus therefore said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe."
49 Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.‟
The nobleman 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 said to him, "Go your way. Your son lives." The man believed the word 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 now going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was alive.
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 inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, "Yesterday at one in the afternoon, 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.
So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." He believed, as did his whole house.
54 Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
