Johannes 5

1 Derefter var det Jødernes Højtid, og Jesus gik op til Jerusalem.

After these things, there was a Jewish festival, 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 in Jerusalem by the sheep area there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew, "Beth Hesda," having five porches.

3 I dem laa der en Mængde syge, blinde, lamme, visne, [som ventede paa, at Vandet skulde røres.

In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, or paralyzed.

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.]

5 Men der var en Mand, som havde været syg i otte og tredive Aar.

A certain man was there, who had been sick for thirty-eight years.

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?‟

When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had been sick for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to be made well?"

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 sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am on my way, someone else steps down ahead of me."

8 Jesus siger til ham: „Staa op, tag din Seng og gaa!‟

Jesus said to him, "Arise, take up your mat, and walk."

9 Og straks blev Manden rask, og han tog sin Seng og gik. Men det var Sabbat paa den Dag;

Immediately, the man was made well, and took up his mat and walked. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

10 derfor sagde Jøderne til ham, som var bleven helbredet: „Det er Sabbat; og det er dig ikke tilladt at bære Sengen.‟

So the Jewish leaders said to him who was cured, "It is the Sabbath. It is not lawful for you to carry the mat."

11 Han svarede dem: „Den, som gjorde mig rask, han sagde til mig: Tag din Seng og gaa!‟

But he answered them, "The one who made me well, that one said to me, 'Take up your mat, 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 who said to you to pick it up 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.

But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a crowd being in the place.

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!‟

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, "See, you are made well. Sin no more, so that nothing worse happens to you."

15 Manden gik bort og sagde til Jøderne, at det var Jesus, som havde gjort ham rask.

The man went away, and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well.

16 Og derfor forfulgte Jøderne Jesus, fordi han havde gjort dette paa en Sabbat.

For this cause the Jewish leaders persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the Sabbath.

17 Men Jesus svarede dem: „Min Fader arbejder indtil nu; ogsaa jeg arbejder.‟

But he answered them, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too."

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.

For this cause therefore the Jewish leaders sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also called God his own Father, making himself equal 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 them, "Truly, truly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise.

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 loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, so that you may marvel.

21 Thi ligesom Faderen oprejser de døde og gør levende, saaledes gør ogsaa Sønnen levende, hvem han vil.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

22 Thi heller ikke dømmer Faderen nogen, men har givet Sønnen hele Dommen,

For the Father judges no one, but he has given 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.

that all may honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor 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)

"Truly, truly, I tell you, he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has everlasting life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of 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.

Truly, truly, I tell you, the hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the Son of God's voice; and those who hear will 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 has life in himself, even so he gave to the Son also to have life in himself.

27 Og han har givet ham Magt til at holde Dom, efterdi han er Menneskesøn.

He also gave him authority 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,

Do not be amazed at this, for the hour comes, in which all that are in the tombs will 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 will come out; those who have done good, to the resurrection of life; and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of judgment.

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 can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous; because I do not seek my own will, but the will of the One who sent me.

31 Dersom jeg vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd ikke sandt.

"If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.

32 Det er en anden, som vidner om mig, og jeg ved, at det Vidnesbyrd er sandt, som han vidner om mig.

It is another who testifies about me. I know that the testimony which he testifies about me is true.

33 I have sendt Bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for Sandheden.

You have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.

34 Dog, jeg henter ikke Vidnesbyrdet fra et Menneske; men dette siger jeg, for at I skulle frelses.

But the testimony which I receive is not from man. However, I say these things that you may be saved.

35 Han var det brændende og skinnende Lys, og I have til en Tid villet fryde eder ved hans Lys.

He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while 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 the testimony which I have is greater than that of John, for the works which the Father gave me to accomplish, the very works that I do, testify about me, that the Father has sent me.

37 Og Faderen, som sendte mig, han har vidnet om mig. I have aldrig hverken hørt hans Røst eller set hans Skikkelse,

The Father himself, who sent me, has testified about me. You have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

38 og hans Ord have I ikke blivende i eder; thi den, som han udsendte, ham tro I ikke.

You do not have his word living in you; because you do not believe him whom he sent.

39 I ransage Skrifterne, fordi I mene i dem at have evigt Liv; og det er dem, som vidne om mig. (aiōnios g166)

You search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have everlasting life; and these are they which testify about me. (aiōnios g166)

40 Og I ville ikke komme til mig, for at I kunne have Liv.

But you are unwilling to come to me so that you may have life.

41 Jeg tager ikke Ære af Mennesker;

I do not receive glory from people.

42 men jeg kender eder, at I have ikke Guds Kærlighed i eder.

But I know you, that you do not have God's love in yourselves.

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 you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

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 you believe, who receive glory from one another, and you do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

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 think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you, even Moses, on whom you have set your hope.

46 Thi dersom I troede Moses, troede I mig; thi han har skrevet om mig.

For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote about me.

47 Men tro I ikke hans Skrifter, hvorledes skulle I da tro mine Ord?‟

But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
