Johannes 11
1 Men der lå en Mand syg, Lazarus fra Bethania, den Landsby, hvor Maria og hendes Søster Martha boede.
Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus from Bethany, of the village of Mary and her sister, Martha.
2 Men Maria var den, som salvede Herren med Salve og tørrede hans Fødder med sit Hår; hendes Broder Lazarus var syg.
It was that Mary who had anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother, Lazarus, was sick.
3 Da sendte Søstrene Bud til ham og lod sige: "Herre! se, den, du elsker, er syg."
The sisters therefore sent to him, saying, "Lord, look, the one you love is sick."
4 Men da Jesus hørte dette, sagde han: "Denne Sygdom er ikke til Døden, men for Guds Herligheds Skyld, for at Guds Søn skal herliggøres ved den."
But when Jesus heard it, he said, "This sickness is not to death, but for the glory of God, that God's Son may be glorified by it."
5 Men Jesus elskede Martha og hendes Søster og Lazarus.
Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6 Da han nu hørte, at han var syg, blev han dog to Dage på det Sted, hvor han var.
When therefore he heard that he was sick, he stayed two days in the place where he was.
7 Derefter siger han så til Disciplene:"Lader os gå til Judæa igen!
Then after this he said to the disciples, "Let us go into Judea again."
8 Disciplene sige til ham: "Rabbi! nylig søgte Jøderne at stene dig, og du drager atter derhen?"
The disciples told him, "Rabbi, the Jewish leaders were just trying to stone you, and are you going there again?"
9 Jesus svarede: "Har Dagen ikke tolv Timer? Vandrer nogen om Dagen, da støder han ikke an; thi han ser denne Verdens Lys.
Jesus answered, "Are there not twelve hours of daylight? If anyone walks in the day, he does not stumble, because he sees the light of this world.
10 Men vandrer nogen om Natten, da støder han an; thi Lyset er ikke i ham."
But if anyone walks in the night, he stumbles, because the light is not in him."
11 Dette sagde han, og derefter siger han til dem: "Lazarus, vor Ven, er sovet ind; men jeg går hen for at vække ham af Søvne."
He said these things, and after that, he said to them, "Our friend, Lazarus, has fallen asleep, but I am going so that I may awake him out of sleep."
12 Da sagde Disciplene til ham: "Herre! sover han, da bliver han helbredt."
Then the disciples said to him, "Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover."
13 Men Jesus havde talt om hans Død; de derimod mente, at han talte om Søvnens Hvile.
Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that he spoke of taking rest in sleep.
14 Derfor sagde da Jesus dem rent ud: "Lazarus er død!
So Jesus said to them plainly then, "Lazarus is dead.
15 Og for eders Skyld er jeg glad over, at jeg ikke var der, for at I skulle tro; men lader os gå til ham!"
I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless, let us go to him."
16 Da sagde Thomas (hvilket betyder Tvilling), til sine Meddisciple: "Lader os også gå, for at vi kunne dø med ham!"
Thomas therefore, who is called Didymus, said to his fellow disciples, "Let us go also, that we may die with him."
17 Da Jesus nu kom, fandt han, at han havde ligget i Graven allerede fire Dage.
So when Jesus came, he found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
18 Men Bethania var nær ved Jerusalem, omtrent femten Stadier derfra.
Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away.
19 Og mange af Jøderne vare komne til Martha og Maria for at trøste dem over deres Broder.
Many of the Jewish people had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.
20 Da Martha nu hørte, at Jesus kom, gik hun ham i Møde; men Maria blev siddende i Huset.
Then when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary stayed in the house.
21 Da sagde Martha til Jesus: "Herre! havde du været her, da var min Broder ikke død.
Therefore Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died.
22 Men også nu ved jeg, at hvad som helst du beder Gud om, vil Gud give dig."
Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you."
23 Jesus siger til hende: "Din Broder skal opstå."
Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again."
24 Martha siger til ham: "Jeg ved at han skal opstå i Opstandelsen på den yderste Dag."
Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day."
25 Jesus sagde til hende: "Jeg er Opstandelsen og Livet; den, som tror på mig, skal leve, om han end dør.
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will still live, even if he dies.
And whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?" (aiōn g165)
27 Hun siger til ham: "Ja, Herre! jeg tror, at du er Kristus, Guds Søn, den, som kommer til Verden."
She said to him, "Yes, Lord. I have come to believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, he who comes into the world."
28 Og da hun havde sagt dette, gik hun bort og kaldte hemmeligt sin Søster Maria og sagde: "Mesteren er her og kalder ad dig."
And when she had said this, she went away, and called Mary, her sister, secretly, saying, "The Teacher is here, and is calling you."
29 Da hun hørte det, rejste hun sig hastigt og gik til ham.
When she heard this, she arose quickly, and went to him.
30 Men Jesus var endnu ikke kommen til Landsbyen, men var på det Sted, hvor Martha havde mødt ham.
Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met him.
31 Da nu Jøderne, som vare hos hende i Huset og trøstede hende, så, at Maria stod hastigt op og gik ud, fulgte de hende, idet de mente, at hun gik ud til Graven for at græde der.
Then the Judeans who were with her in the house, and were consoling her, when they saw Mary, that she rose up quickly and went out, followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to weep there.
32 Da Maria nu kom derhen, hvor Jesus var, og så ham, faldt hun ned for hans Fødder og sagde til ham: "Herre! havde du været her da var min Broder ikke død."
Therefore when Mary came to where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying to him, "Lord, if you would have been here, my brother would not have died."
33 Da nu Jesus så hende græde og så Jøderne, som vare komne med hende, græde, harmedes han i Ånden og blev heftig bevæget i sit Indre; og han sagde:
When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Judeans weeping who came with her, he was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,
34 "Hvor have I lagt ham?" De sige til ham: "Herre! kom og se!"
and said, "Where have you put him?" They told him, "Lord, come and see."
35 Jesus græd.
Jesus wept.
36 Da sagde Jøderne: "Se, hvor han elskede ham!"
The Judeans therefore said, "See how he loved him."
37 Men nogle af dem sagde: "Kunde ikke han, som åbnede den blindes Øjne, have gjort, at også denne ikke var død?"
But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of him who was blind, have also kept this man from dying?"
38 Da harmes Jesus atter i sit Indre og går hen til Graven. Men det var en Hule, og en Sten lå for den.
So Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone lay against it.
39 Jesus siger: "Tager Stenen bort!" Martha, den dødes Søster, siger til ham: "Herre! han stinker allerede; thi han har ligget der fire Dage:"
Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days."
40 Jesus siger til hende: " Sagde jeg ikke, at dersom du tror, skal du se Guds Herlighed?"
Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see God's glory?"
41 Da toge de Stenen bort. Men Jesus opløftede sine Øjne og sagde: "Fader! jeg takker dig, fordi du har hørt mig.
So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, "Father, I thank you that you listened to me.
42 Jeg vidste vel, at du altid hører mig; men for Skarens Skyld, som står omkring, sagde jeg det, for at de skulle tro, at du har udsendt mig."
I know that you always listen to me, but because of the crowd that stands around I said this, that they may believe that you sent me."
43 Og da han havde sagt dette, råbte han med høj Røst: "Lazarus, kom herud!"
When he had said this, he shouted with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out."
44 Og den døde kom ud, bunden med Jordeklæder om Fødder og Hænder, og et Tørklæde var bundet om hans Ansigt, Jesus siger til dem: "Løser ham, og lader ham gå!"
The man who had died came out, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Free him, and let him go."
45 Mange af de Jøder, som vare komne til Maria og havde set, hvad han havde gjort, troede nu på ham;
Therefore many of the Judeans, who came to Mary and had seen the things which he did, believed in him.
46 men nogle af dem gik hen til Farisæerne og sagde dem, hvad Jesus, havde gjort.
But some of them went away to the Pharisees, and told them the things which Jesus had done.
47 Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne sammenkaldte da et Møde af Rådet og sagde: "Hvad gøre vi? thi dette Menneske gør mange Tegn.
The chief priests therefore and the Pharisees gathered a council, and said, "What are we doing? For this man does many signs.
48 Dersom vi lade ham således blive ved, ville alle tro på ham, og Romerne ville komme og tage både vort Land og Folk."
If we leave him alone like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."
49 Men en af dem, Kajfas, som var Ypperstepræst i det År, sagde til dem:
But a certain one of them, Caiaphas, being high priest that year, said to them, "You know nothing at all,
50 "I vide intet; ej heller betænke I, at det er os gavnligt, at eet Menneske dør for Folket, og at ikke det hele Folk skal gå til Grunde."
nor do you consider that it is advantageous for you that one man should die for the people, and that the whole nation not perish."
51 Men dette sagde han ikke af sig selv; men da han var Ypperstepræst i det År, profeterede han at Jesus skulde dø for Folket;
Now he did not say this of himself, but being high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation,
52 og ikke for Folket alene, men for at han også kunde samle Guds adspredte Børn sammen til eet.
and not for the nation only, but that he might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad.
53 Fra den Dag af rådsloge de derfor om at ihjelslå ham.
So from that day on they plotted to kill him.
54 Derfor vandrede Jesus ikke mere frit om iblandt jøderne, men gik bort derfra ud på Landet, nær ved Ørkenen, til en By, som kaldes Efraim; og han blev der med sine Disciple.
Jesus therefore walked no more openly among the Judeans, but departed from there into the country near the wilderness, to a city called Ephraim; and stayed there with his disciples.
55 Men Jødernes Påske var nær; og mange fra Landet gik op til Jerusalem før Påsken for at rense sig.
Now the Jewish Passover was near, and many went up from the country to Jerusalem before the Passover, to purify themselves.
56 Da ledte de efter Jesus og sagde mellem hverandre, da de stode i Helligdommen: "Hvad mene I? Mon han ikke kommer til Højtiden?"
Then they sought for Jesus and spoke one with another, as they stood in the temple, "What do you think—that he is not coming to the feast at all?"
57 Men Ypperstepræsterne og Farisæerne havde givet Befaling om at dersom nogen vidste, hvor han var, skulde han give det til Kende for at de kunde gribe ham.
Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that if anyone knew where he was, he should report it, that they might arrest him.
