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.
and there is in Jerusalem by the sheep -[gate] a pool that is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches,
3 I dem laa der en Mængde syge, blinde, lamme, visne, [som ventede paa, at Vandet skulde røres.
in these were lying a great multitude of the ailing, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving 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 a messenger at a set time was going down in the pool, and was troubling the water, the first then having gone in after the troubling of the water, became whole of whatever sickness he was held.
5 Men der var en Mand, som havde været syg i otte og tredive Aar.
and there was a certain man there being in ailment thirty and 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?”
him Jesus having seen lying, and having known that he is already a long time, he saith to him, 'Dost thou wish to become whole?'
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 ailing man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man, that, when the water may be troubled, he may put me into the pool, and while I am coming, another doth go down before me.'
8 Jesus siger til ham: „Staa op, tag din Seng og gaa!”
Jesus saith to him, 'Rise, take up thy couch, and be walking;'
9 Og straks blev Manden rask, og han tog sin Seng og gik. Men det var Sabbat paa den Dag;
and immediately the man became whole, and he took up his couch, and was walking, and it was a 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.”
the Jews then said to him that hath been healed, 'It is a sabbath; it is not lawful to thee to take up the couch.'
11 Han svarede dem: „Den, som gjorde mig rask, han sagde til mig: Tag din Seng og gaa!”
He answered them, 'He who made me whole — that one said to me, Take up thy couch, and be walking;'
12 Da spurgte de ham: „Hvem er det Menneske, som sagde til dig: Tag din Seng og gaa?”
they questioned him, then, 'Who is the man who is saying to thee, Take up thy couch and be walking?'
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 he that was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus did move away, a multitude 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!”
After these things, Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said to him, 'Lo, thou hast become whole; sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.'
15 Manden gik bort og sagde til Jøderne, at det var Jesus, som havde gjort ham rask.
The man went away, and told the Jews that it is Jesus who made him whole,
16 Og derfor forfulgte Jøderne Jesus, fordi han havde gjort dette paa en Sabbat.
and because of this were the Jews persecuting Jesus, and seeking to kill him, because these things he was doing on a sabbath.
17 Men Jesus svarede dem: „Min Fader arbejder indtil nu; ogsaa jeg arbejder.”
And Jesus answered them, 'My Father till now doth work, 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.
because of this, then, were the Jews seeking the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the sabbath, but he also called God his own Father, making himself equal to 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 responded and said to them, 'Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything of himself, if he may not see the Father doing anything; for whatever things He may do, these also the Son in like manner doth;
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 doth love the Son, and doth shew to him all things that He himself doth; and greater works than these He will 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 doth raise the dead, and doth make alive, so also the Son doth make alive whom he willeth;
22 Thi heller ikke dømmer Faderen nogen, men har givet Sønnen hele Dommen,
for neither doth the Father judge any one, but all the judgment He hath given 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 honour the Son according as they honour the Father; he who is not honouring 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 to you — He who is hearing my word, and is believing Him who sent me, hath life age-during, and to judgment he doth not come, but hath passed out of the death to the 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 to you — There cometh an hour, and it now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and those having heard 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 He gave also to the Son to have life in himself,
27 Og han har givet ham Magt til at holde Dom, efterdi han er Menneskesøn.
and authority He gave him also to do judgment, because he is Son of Man.
28 Undrer eder ikke herover; thi den Time kommer, paa hvilken alle de, som ere i Gravene, skulle høre hans Røst,
'Wonder not at this, because there doth come an hour in which all those in the tombs 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; those who did the good things to a rising again of life, and those who practised the evil things to a rising again 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 am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
31 Dersom jeg vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd ikke sandt.
'If I testify concerning myself, my testimony 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.
another there is who is testifying concerning me, and I have known that the testimony that he doth testify concerning me is true;
33 I have sendt Bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for Sandheden.
ye have sent unto John, and he hath testified to the truth.
34 Dog, jeg henter ikke Vidnesbyrdet fra et Menneske; men dette siger jeg, for at I skulle frelses.
'But I do not receive testimony from man, but these things I say that ye 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 ye did will to be glad, for an hour, 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 the testimony greater than John's, for the works that the Father gave me, that I might finish them, the works themselves that I do, they testify concerning 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 testified concerning me; ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor His appearance have ye seen;
38 og hans Ord have I ikke blivende i eder; thi den, som han udsendte, ham tro I ikke.
and His word ye have not remaining in you, because whom He sent, him ye do not believe.
39 I ransage Skrifterne, fordi I mene i dem at have evigt Liv; og det er dem, som vidne om mig. (aiōnios g166)
'Ye search the Writings, because ye think in them to have life age-during, and these are they that are testifying concerning me; (aiōnios g166)
40 Og I ville ikke komme til mig, for at I kunne have Liv.
and ye do not will to come unto me, that ye may have life;
41 Jeg tager ikke Ære af Mennesker;
glory from man I do not receive,
42 men jeg kender eder, at I have ikke Guds Kærlighed i eder.
but I have known you, that the love of God ye have not 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 the name of my Father, and ye do not receive me; if another may 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 are ye able — ye — to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that [is] from God alone ye seek not?
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 unto the Father; there is who is accusing you, Moses — in whom ye have hoped;
46 Thi dersom I troede Moses, troede I mig; thi han har skrevet om mig.
for if ye were believing Moses, ye would have been believing me, for he wrote concerning me;
47 Men tro I ikke hans Skrifter, hvorledes skulle I da tro mine Ord?”
but if his writings ye believe not, how shall ye believe my sayings?'
