Johannes 9
1 Og da han gik forbi, saa han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
And as Jesus was passing along, He saw a man, who had been blind from his 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, Master, who sinned? this man or his parents? that he was 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 did this man sin, nor his parents: but that the works of God might 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 perform the works of Him that sent me, while it is day: the night is coming, when no man can work.
5 Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys.”
But 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.
And when He had said these things, He spit on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
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 said to him, Go wash at the pool of Siloam (which signifies Sent.) He went therefore and washed, and came again 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?”
And the neighbors, and they that had seen him before, that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat begging?
9 Nogle sagde: „Det er ham;” men andre sagde: „Nej, han ligner ham.” Han selv sagde: „Det er mig.”
Some said, this is he: and others, It is like him: but he said, I am the man.
10 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne aabnede?”
Therefore they said to him, How were thine eyes 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 who is called Jesus, made clay and anointed mine eyes, and said to me, Go to the pool of Siloam and wash: and I went and washed and received my sight.
12 Da sagde de til ham: „Hvor er han?” Han siger: „Det ved jeg ikke.”
Then said they unto him, Where is He? he answered, I know not.
13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
So they brought him, that had formerly been blind, to the pharisees.
14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og aabnede hans Øjne.
Now it was the sabbath-day, when Jesus made the clay, 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.”
Therefore the pharisees also asked him again, how he recovered his sight. And he said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do 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.
Then said some of the pharisees, This man is not of God, because He doth not keep the sabbath: but others said, How can a wicked man do such miracles? 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.”
So they asked the blind man again, What sayst thou concerning Him? as He hath opened thine eyes.
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.
And he said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe that he had been blind and recovered sight, till they called the parents of him, that had received his 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, Is this your son, who ye say, was born blind? how then doth 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, 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 it is that he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age, ask him; he can speak for 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.
These things said his parents, because they were afraid of the Jews; for the Jews had already agreed, that if any one confessed Him to be Christ, he should be turned out of the synagogue.
23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: „Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!”
Therefore 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.”
Then they called a second time for the man that had been blind, and said to him, Give glory to God: for we know that this man is a great sinner.
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, and said, Whether He be a sinner, I know not: but one thing I know, that I who was blind, do now see.
26 De sagde da til ham igen: „Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes aabnede han dine Øjne?”
Then said they to him again, What did he do to thee? how did He open 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 have told you already, and ye would not hear? why would ye now hear it again? have ye also a mind to be his disciples?
28 Da udskældte de ham og sagde: „Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple, but we are the disciples of Moses: we know that God spake to Moses:
29 Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke, hvorfra han er.”
but as for 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 unto them, Why this is something strange, that ye know not whence He is, and yet He hath opened mine eyes.
31 Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.
Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a servant of God, and do his will, him He heareth.
From the beginning of the world it was never heard, that any one opened the eyes of a person that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre.”
And if this man were not from God, He could 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 unto him, Thou wast wholly born in sins, and dost thou teach us?
35 Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham, sagde han til ham: „Tror du paa Guds Søn?”
And they cast him out. Now Jesus heard that they had turned him out of the synagogue; and when He met him, He said unto him, 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, 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.”
Jesus said unto him, Thou hast seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee.
38 Men han sagde: „Jeg tror, Herre!” og han kastede sig ned for ham.
And he said, Lord, I believe; and worshipped Him.
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, I am come into this world to execute judgement; that they who see not, may see; and that they who say they see, may be made 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 present, heard these words, and 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 replied, If ye were blind, ye would not have sin: but now ye say, We see; your sin therefore remaineth.
