Johannes 4
1 Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing more disciples than John
2 (skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
(although Jesus himself was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
3 da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
4 Men han måtte rejse igennem Samaria.
But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
5 Han kommer da til en By i Samaria, som kaldes Sykar, nær ved det Stykke Land, som Jakob gav sin Søn Josef.
So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given to his son Joseph.
6 Og der var Jakobs Brønd. Jesus satte sig da, træt af Rejsen, ned ved Brønden; det var ved den sjette Time.
The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 En samaritansk Kvinde kommer for at drage Vand op. Jesus siger til hende: "Giv mig noget at drikke!"
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water to drink.”
8 Hans Disciple vare nemlig gåede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
For his disciples had gone away into the town to buy food.
9 Da siger den samaritanske Kvinde til ham: "Hvorledes kan dog du, som er en Jøde, bede mig, som er en samaritansk Kvinde, om noget at drikke?" Thi Jøder holde ikke Samkvem med Samaritanere.
Then the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?” For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.
10 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: "Dersom du kendte Guds Gave, og hvem det er, som siger til dig: Giv mig noget at drikke, da bad du ham, og han gav dig levende Vand."
Jesus answered and said to her, “If you had known the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink,' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water.”
11 Kvinden siger til ham: "Herre! du har jo intet at drage op med, og Brønden er dyb; hvorfra har du da det levende Vand?
The woman said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have the living water?
12 Mon du er større end vor Fader Jakob, som har givet os Brønden, og han har selv drukket deraf og hans Børn og hans Kvæg?"
You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”
13 Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: "Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
Jesus replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
15 Kvinden siger til ham: "Herre! giv mig dette Vand, for at jeg ikke skal tørste og ikke komme hid for at drage op."
The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”
16 Jesus siger til hende: "Gå bort, kald på din Mand, og kom hid!"
Jesus said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”
17 Kvinden svarede og sagde: "Jeg har ingen Mand." Jesus siger til hende: "Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, 'I have no husband,'
18 Thi du har haft fem Mænd; og han, som du nu har, er ikke din Mand. Det har du sagt sandt."
for you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is true.”
19 Kvinden siger til ham: "Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
The woman said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
20 Vore Fædre have tilbedt på dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede."
Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”
21 Jesus siger til hende: "Tro mig, Kvinde, at den Time kommer, da det hverken skal være på dette Bjerg eller i Jerusalem, at I tilbede Faderen.
Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
22 I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
You worship what you do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
23 Men den Time kommer, ja, den er nu, da de sande Tilbedere skulle tilbede Faderen i Ånd og Sandhed; thi det er sådanne Tilbedere, Faderen vil have.
However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
24 Gud er Ånd, og de, som tilbede ham, bør tilbede i Ånd og Sandhed."
God is Spirit, and the people who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”
25 Kvinden siger til ham: "Jeg ved, at Messias kommer (hvilket betyder Kristus); når han kommer, skal han kundgøre os alle Ting."
The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”
26 Jesus siger til hende: "Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig."
Jesus said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
27 Og i det samme kom hans Disciple, og de undrede sig over, at han talte med en Kvinde; dog sagde ingen: "Hvad søger du?" eller: "Hvorfor taler du med hende?"
At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking with her?”
28 Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke stå og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
29 "Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?"
“Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”
30 De gik ud af Byen og kom gående til ham.
They left the town and came to him.
31 Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: "Rabbi, spis!"
In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
32 Men han sagde til dem, jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende."
But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
33 Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: "Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?"
So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”
34 Jesus siger til dem: "Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
35 Sige I ikke: Der er endnu fire Måneder, så kommer Høsten? Se, jeg siger eder, opløfter eders Øjne og ser Markene; de ere allerede hvide til Høsten.
Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe for harvest!
36 Den, som høster, får Løn og samler Frugt til et evigt Liv, så at de kunne glæde sig tilsammen, både den, som sår, og den, som høster. (aiōnios g166)
He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
37 Thi her er det Ord sandt: En sår, og en anden høster.
For in this the saying, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.
38 Jeg har udsendt eder at høste det, som I ikke have arbejdet på; andre have arbejdet, og I ere gåede ind i deres Arbejde."
I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, and you have entered into their labor.”
39 Men mange af Samaritanerne fra den By troede på ham på Grund af Kvindens Ord, da hun vidnede: "Han har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort."
Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything that I have done.”
40 Da nu Samaritanerne kom til ham, bade de ham om at blive hos dem; og han blev der to Dage.
So when the Samaritans came to him, they asked him to stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
41 Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
Many more believed because of his word.
42 Og til Kvinden sagde de: "Vi tro nu ikke længer for din Tales Skyld; thi vi have selv hørt, og vi vide, at denne er sandelig Verdens Frelser."
They said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the savior of the world.”
43 Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
44 Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
45 Da han nu kom til Galilæa, toge Galilæerne imod ham, fordi de havde set alt det, som han gjorde i Jerusalem på Højtiden; thi også de vare komne til Højtiden.
When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
46 Han kom da atter til Kana i Galilæa, hvor han havde gjort Vandet til Vin. Og der var en kongelig Embedsmand, hvis Søn lå syg i Kapernaum.
Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill.
47 Da denne hørte, at Jesus var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa, gik han til ham og bad om, at han vilde komme ned og helbrede hans Søn; thi han var Døden nær.
When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and asked him to come down and heal his son, who was about to die.
48 Da sagde Jesus til ham: "Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro."
Jesus then said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
49 Embedsmanden siger til ham: "Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør."
The official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
50 Jesus siger til ham: "Gå bort, din Søn lever." Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
Jesus said to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
51 Men allerede medens han var på Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
52 Da udspurgte han dem om den Time, i hvilken det var blevet bedre med ham; og de sagde til ham: "I Går ved den syvende time forlod Feberen ham."
So he asked them the hour when he began to improve. They replied to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.”
53 Da skønnede Faderen, at det var sket i den Time, da Jesus sagde til ham: "Din Søn lever;" og han troede selv og hele hans Hus.
Then the father realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” So he himself and his whole household believed.
54 Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
This was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
