Johannes 5
1 Derefter var det Jødernes Højtid, og Jesus gik op til Jerusalem.
AFTER these things there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2 Men der er i Jerusalem ved Faareporten en Dam, som paa Hebraisk kaldes Bethesda, og den har fem Søjlegange.
Now there is at Jerusalem near the sheep-market a pool, called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porticos.
3 I dem laa der en Mængde syge, blinde, lamme, visne, [som ventede paa, at Vandet skulde røres.
In these lay a vast multitude of infirm persons, blind, lame, withered, waiting the motion of the water.
4 Thi paa visse Tider for en Engel ned i Dammen og oprørte Vandet. Den, som da, efter at Vandet var blevet oprørt, steg først ned, blev rask, hvilken Sygdom han end led af.]
For occasionally an angel descended into the pool, and put the water into commotion: he therefore who first stepped in after the commotion of the water became well, under whatever complaint he had laboured.
5 Men der var en Mand, som havde været syg i otte og tredive Aar.
And there was a certain man there, who had a complaint of thirty years standing.
6 Da Jesus saa ham ligge der og vidste, at han allerede havde ligget i lang Tid, sagde han til ham: „Vil du blive rask?‟
Jesus seeing him laid there, and knowing that he had been so for a long while, saith to him, Wilt thou be made sound?
7 Den syge svarede ham: „Herre! jeg har ingen, som kan bringe mig ned i Dammen, naar Vandet bliver oprørt; men naar jeg kommer, stiger en anden ned før mig.‟
The infirm man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is disturbed, to cast me into the pool: but when I am coming, another goeth down before me.
8 Jesus siger til ham: „Staa op, tag din Seng og gaa!‟
Jesus saith to him, Arise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 Og straks blev Manden rask, og han tog sin Seng og gik. Men det var Sabbat paa den Dag;
And instantly the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked away: and that day was the sabbath.
10 derfor sagde Jøderne til ham, som var bleven helbredet: „Det er Sabbat; og det er dig ikke tilladt at bære Sengen.‟
The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 Han svarede dem: „Den, som gjorde mig rask, han sagde til mig: Tag din Seng og gaa!‟
He answered them, He that made me whole, the same person said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Da spurgte de ham: „Hvem er det Menneske, som sagde til dig: Tag din Seng og gaa?‟
Then they asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13 Men han, som var bleven helbredet, vidste ikke, hvem det var; thi Jesus havde unddraget sig, da der var mange Mennesker paa Stedet.
Now he that was cured knew not who he was: for Jesus had slipped away, a crowd being on the spot.
14 Derefter finder Jesus ham i Helligdommen, og han sagde til ham: „Se, du er bleven rask; synd ikke mere, for at ikke noget værre skal times dig!‟
After these things Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Take care; thou art made whole: sin no more, lest something worse befall thee.
15 Manden gik bort og sagde til Jøderne, at det var Jesus, som havde gjort ham rask.
The man went, and informed the Jews, that it was Jesus who had made him whole.
16 Og derfor forfulgte Jøderne Jesus, fordi han havde gjort dette paa en Sabbat.
And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he had done these things on the sabbath-day.
17 Men Jesus svarede dem: „Min Fader arbejder indtil nu; ogsaa jeg arbejder.‟
Then Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18 Derfor tragtede da Jøderne end mere efter at slaa ham ihjel, fordi han ikke alene brød Sabbaten, men ogsaa kaldte Gud sin egen Fader og gjorde sig selv Gud lig.
Therefore sought they the more to kill him, because he had not only broken the sabbath, but called God his own Father, setting himself on an equality with God.
19 Saa svarede Jesus og sagde til dem: „Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, Sønnen kan slet intet gøre af sig selv, uden hvad han ser Faderen gøre; thi hvad han gør, det gør ogsaa Sønnen ligesaa.
Jesus therefore answered and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing by himself, except what he hath seen the Father do: for whatsoever things he doeth, the same and in the same manner doth the Son.
20 Thi Faderen elsker Sønnen og viser ham alt det, han selv gør, og han skal vise ham større Gerninger end disse, for at I skulle undre eder.
For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things which he himself doeth: and greater works than these will he shew him, that ye may wonder.
21 Thi ligesom Faderen oprejser de døde og gør levende, saaledes gør ogsaa Sønnen levende, hvem han vil.
For as the Father raiseth the dead, and quickeneth them; so also doth the Son quicken whom he pleases.
22 Thi heller ikke dømmer Faderen nogen, men har givet Sønnen hele Dommen,
For the Father never judgeth any man, but hath committed all judgment to the Son:
23 for at alle skulle ære Sønnen, ligesom de ære Faderen. Den, som ikke ærer Sønnen, ærer ikke Faderen, som udsendte ham.
in order that all may honour the Son, just as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, doth not honour the Father who sent him.
24 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den, som hører mit Ord og tror den, som sendte mig, har et evigt Liv og kommer ikke til Dom, men er gaaet over fra Døden til Livet. (aiōnios g166)
Verily, verily, I say unto you, That he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
25 Sandelig, sandelig, siger jeg eder, den Time kommer, ja den er nu, da de døde skulle høre Guds Søns Røst, og de, som høre den, skulle leve.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, yea, it is now, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26 Thi ligesom Faderen har Liv i sig selv, saaledes har han ogsaa givet Sønnen at have Liv i sig selv.
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son also to have life in himself;
27 Og han har givet ham Magt til at holde Dom, efterdi han er Menneskesøn.
and hath given him authority also to execute judgment, because he is the Son of man.
28 Undrer eder ikke herover; thi den Time kommer, paa hvilken alle de, som ere i Gravene, skulle høre hans Røst,
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all who are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29 og de skulle gaa frem, de, som have gjort det gode, til Livets Opstandelse, men de, som have gjort det onde, til Dommens Opstandelse.
and they shall come forth; they who have done good actions to the resurrection of life; and they who have been guilty of foul practices, to the resurrection of damnation.
30 Jeg kan slet intet gøre af mig selv; saaledes som jeg hører, dømmer jeg, og min Dom er retfærdig; thi jeg søger ikke min Villie, men hans Villie, som sendte mig.
I am not able to perform any thing by myself: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; for I seek not my own will, but the will of my Father who sent me.
31 Dersom jeg vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd ikke sandt.
If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
32 Det er en anden, som vidner om mig, og jeg ved, at det Vidnesbyrd er sandt, som han vidner om mig.
There is another who beareth witness of me, and I know that his witness is true which he witnesseth concerning me.
33 I have sendt Bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for Sandheden.
Ye sent to John, and he bore testimony to the truth.
34 Dog, jeg henter ikke Vidnesbyrdet fra et Menneske; men dette siger jeg, for at I skulle frelses.
But I receive not testimony from man: but I speak these things, that ye may believe.
35 Han var det brændende og skinnende Lys, og I have til en Tid villet fryde eder ved hans Lys.
He was a lamp glowing and luminous: and ye were pleased for a time to exult in his light.
36 Men det Vidnesbyrd, som jeg har, er større end Johannes's; thi de Gerninger, som Faderen har givet mig at fuldbyrde, selve de Gerninger, som jeg gør, vidne om mig, at Faderen har udsendt mig.
But I have a testimony greater than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me that I should fulfil them, these very works which I am doing, they bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37 Og Faderen, som sendte mig, han har vidnet om mig. I have aldrig hverken hørt hans Røst eller set hans Skikkelse,
And the Father who sent me, himself hath borne witness concerning me. Ye have neither at any time heard his voice, nor seen his form.
38 og hans Ord have I ikke blivende i eder; thi den, som han udsendte, ham tro I ikke.
And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 I ransage Skrifterne, fordi I mene i dem at have evigt Liv; og det er dem, som vidne om mig. (aiōnios g166)
Search the scriptures; for ye suppose in them ye have eternal life: and these are they which testify of me. (aiōnios g166)
40 Og I ville ikke komme til mig, for at I kunne have Liv.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 Jeg tager ikke Ære af Mennesker;
I receive not glory from men.
42 men jeg kender eder, at I have ikke Guds Kærlighed i eder.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 Jeg er kommen i min Faders Navn, og I modtage mig ikke; dersom en anden kommer i sit eget Navn, ham ville I modtage.
I have come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 Hvorledes kunne I tro, I, som tage Ære af hverandre, og den Ære, som er fra den eneste Gud, søge I ikke?
How can ye believe, who receiving honour one from another, seek not the honour which cometh from God alone?
45 Tænker ikke, at jeg vil anklage eder for Faderen; der er en, som anklager eder, Moses, til hvem I have sat eders Haab.
Do not suppose that I shall accuse you to my Father: there is one who is accusing you, even Moses, on whom ye place your hope.
46 Thi dersom I troede Moses, troede I mig; thi han har skrevet om mig.
For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for of me did he write.
47 Men tro I ikke hans Skrifter, hvorledes skulle I da tro mine Ord?‟
But if ye believe not his writings, how will ye believe my words?
