Johannes 9
1 Og da han gik forbi, saa han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
And as he passed on, he saw a man blind from birth.
2 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, saa han skulde fødes blind?‟
And his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who sinned, this [man] or his parents, that he should be born blind?
3 Jesus svarede: „Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle aabenbares paa ham.
Jesus answered, Neither has this [man] sinned nor his parents, but that the works of God should be manifested in him.
4 Jeg maa gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, saa længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.
I must work the works of him that has sent me while it is day. [The] night is coming, when no one can work.
5 Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys.‟
As long as I am in the world, I am [the] light of the world.
6 Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han paa Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet paa hans Øjne.
Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud of the spittle, and put the mud, as ointment, on his eyes.
7 Og han sagde til ham: „Gaa hen, to dig i Dammen Siloam‟ (hvilket er udlagt: udsendt). Da gik han bort og toede sig, og han kom seende tilbage.
And he said to him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, which is interpreted, Sent. He went therefore and washed, and came seeing.
8 Da sagde Naboerne og de, som før vare vante til at se ham som Tigger: „Er det ikke ham, som sad og tiggede?‟
The neighbours therefore, and those who used to see him before, that he was a beggar, said, Is not this he that was sitting and begging?
9 Nogle sagde: „Det er ham; ‟ men andre sagde: „Nej, han ligner ham.‟ Han selv sagde: „Det er mig.‟
Some said, It is he; others said, No, but he is like him: he said, It is I.
10 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne aabnede?‟
They said therefore to him, How have thine eyes been opened?
11 Han svarede: „En Mand, som kaldes Jesus, gjorde Dynd og smurte det paa mine Øjne og sagde til mig: Gaa hen til Siloam og to dig! Da jeg saa gik hen og toede mig, blev jeg seende.‟
He answered [and said], A man called Jesus made mud and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to Siloam and wash: and having gone and washed, I saw.
12 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvor er han?‟ Han siger: „Det ved jeg ikke.‟
They said therefore to him, Where is he? He says, I do not know.
13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
They bring him who was before blind to the Pharisees.
14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og aabnede hans Øjne.
Now it was sabbath when Jesus made the mud and opened his eyes.
15 Atter spurgte nu ogsaa Farisæerne ham, hvorledes han var bleven seende. Men han sagde til dem: „Han lagde Dynd paa mine Øjne, og jeg toede mig, og nu ser jeg.‟
The Pharisees therefore also again asked him how he received his sight. And he said to them, He put mud upon mine eyes, and I washed, and I see.
16 Nogle af Farisæerne sagde da: „Dette Menneske er ikke fra Gud, efterdi han ikke holder Sabbaten.‟ Andre sagde: „Hvorledes kan et syndigt Menneske gøre saadanne Tegn?‟ Og der var Splid imellem dem.
Some of the Pharisees therefore said, This man is not of God, for he does not keep the sabbath. Others said, How can a sinful man perform such signs? And there was a division among them.
17 De sige da atter til den blinde: „Hvad siger du om ham, efterdi han aabnede dine Øjne?‟ Men han sagde: „Han er en Profet.‟
They say therefore again to the blind [man], What dost thou say of him, that he has opened thine eyes? And he said, He is a prophet.
18 Saa troede Jøderne ikke om ham, at han havde været blind og var bleven seende, førend de fik kaldt paa Forældrene til ham, som havde faaet sit Syn.
The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him that he was blind and had received sight, until they had called the parents of him that had received sight.
19 Og de spurgte dem og sagde: „Er denne eders Søn, om hvem I sige, at han var født blind? Hvorledes er han da nu seende?‟
And they asked them saying, This is your son, of whom ye say that he was born blind: how then does he now see?
20 Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde: „Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han var født blind.
His parents answered [them] and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind;
21 Men hvorledes han nu er bleven seende, vide vi ikke, og hvem der har aabnet hans Øjne, vide vi ikke heller; spørger ham; han er gammel nok; han maa selv tale for sig.‟
but how he now sees we do not know, or who has opened his eyes we do not know. He is of age: ask him; he will speak concerning himself.
22 Dette sagde hans Forældre, fordi de frygtede for Jøderne; thi Jøderne vare allerede komne overens om, at dersom nogen bekendte ham som Kristus, skulde han udelukkes af Synagogen.
His parents said these things because they feared the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if any one confessed him [to be the] Christ, he should be excommunicated from the synagogue.
23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: „Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!‟
On this account his parents said, He is of age: ask him.
24 Da hidkaldte de anden Gang Manden, som havde været blind, og sagde til ham: „Giv Gud Æren; vi vide, at dette Menneske er en Synder.‟
They called therefore a second time the man who had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: we know that this man is sinful.
25 Da svarede han: „Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser.‟
He answered therefore, If he is sinful I know not. One thing I know, that, being blind [before], now I see.
26 De sagde da til ham igen: „Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes aabnede han dine Øjne?‟
And they said to him again, What did he do to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
27 Han svarede dem: „Jeg har allerede sagt eder det, og I hørte ikke efter. Hvorfor ville I høre det igen? Ville ogsaa I blive hans Disciple?‟
He answered them, I told you already and ye did not hear: why do ye desire to hear again? do ye also wish to become his disciples?
28 Da udskældte de ham og sagde: „Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
They railed at him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses.
29 Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke, hvorfra han er.‟
We know that God spoke to Moses; but [as to] this [man], we know not whence he is.
30 Manden svarede og sagde til dem: „Det er dog underligt, at I ikke vide, hvorfra han er, og han har aabnet mine Øjne.
The man answered and said to them, Now in this is a wonderful thing, that ye do not know whence he is, and he has opened mine eyes.
31 Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.
[But] we know that God does not hear sinners; but if any one be God-fearing and do his will, him he hears.
Since time was, it has not been heard that any one opened the eyes of one born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre.‟
If this [man] were not of God he would be able to do nothing.
34 De svarede og sagde til ham: „Du er hel og holden født i Synder, og du vil lære os?‟ Og de stødte ham ud.
They answered and said to him, Thou hast been wholly born in sins, and thou teachest us? And they cast him out.
35 Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham, sagde han til ham: „Tror du paa Guds Søn?‟
Jesus heard that they had cast him out, and having found him, he said to him, Thou, dost thou believe on the Son of God?
36 Han svarede og sagde: „Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro paa ham.‟
He answered and said, And who is he, Lord, that I may believe on him?
37 Jesus sagde til ham: „Baade har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det.‟
And Jesus said to him, Thou hast both seen him, and he that speaks with thee is he.
38 Men han sagde: „Jeg tror, Herre!‟ og han kastede sig ned for ham.
And he said, I believe, Lord: and he did him homage.
39 Og Jesus sagde: „Til Dom er jeg kommen til denne Verden, for at de, som ikke se, skulle blive seende, og de, som se, skulle blive blinde.‟
And Jesus said, For judgment am I come into this world, that they which see not may see, and they which see may become blind.
40 Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: „Mon ogsaa vi ere blinde?‟
And [some] of the Pharisees who were with him heard these things, and they said to him, Are we blind also?
41 Jesus sagde til dem: „Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver.‟
Jesus said to them, If ye were blind ye would not have sin; but now ye say, We see, your sin remains.
