Johannes 5

1 Derefter var det Jødernes Højtid, og Jesus gik op til Jerusalem.

After these things there was the feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

2 Men der er i Jerusalem ved Fåreporten en Dam, som på Hebraisk kaldes Bethesda, og den har fem Søjlegange.

Now there is at Jerusalem, by the sheep-gate, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethzatha, having five porches.

3 I dem lå der en Mængde syge, blinde, lamme, visne, (som ventede på, at Vandet skulde røres.

In these were lying a multitude of diseased persons, blind, lame, withered.

4 Thi på 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.)

5 Men der var en Mand, som havde været syg i otte og tredive År.

And a certain man was there, who had had his infirmity thirty-eight years.

6 Da Jesus så ham ligge der og vidste, at han allerede havde ligget i lang Tid, sagde han til ham: "Vil du blive rask?"

Jesus saw this man lying there, and knowing that he had been for a long time diseased, saith to him, Dost thou wish to be made well?

7 Den syge svarede ham: "Herre! jeg har ingen, som kan bringe mig ned i Dammen, når Vandet bliver oprørt; men når jeg kommer, stiger en anden ned før mig."

The diseased man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool; but while I am coming, another goeth down before me.

8 Jesus siger til ham: "Stå op, tag din Seng og gå!"

Jesus saith to him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.

9 Og straks blev Manden rask, og han tog sin Seng og gik. Men det var Sabbat på den Dag;

And immediately the man was made well, and took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the sabbath.

10 derfor sagde Jøderne til ham, som var bleven helbredt: "Det er Sabbat; og det er dig ikke tilladt af bære Sengen."

The Jews therefore said to him that was cured, It is the sabbath; and it is not lawful for thee to take up the bed.

11 Han svarede dem: "Den, som gjorde mig rask, han sagde til mig: Tag din Seng og gå!"

He answered them, He that made me well, the same said to me, Take up thy bed, and walk. T

12 Da spurgte de ham: "Hvem er det Menneske, som sagde til dig: Tag din Seng og gå?"

hey asked him, Who is the man that said to thee, Take up, and walk?

13 Men han; som var bleven helbredt, vidste ikke, hvem det var; thi Jesus havde unddraget sig, da der var mange Mennesker på Stedet.

But the diseased man knew not who it was; for Jesus had withdrawn himself, there being a crowd 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!"

Afterwards Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou art made well; sin no more, lest something worse befall 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 was Jesus who had made him well.

16 Og derfor forfulgte Jøderne Jesus, fordi han havde gjort dette på en Sabbat.

And on this account the Jews persecuted Jesus, because he did these things on the sabbath.

17 Men Jesus svarede dem: "Min Fader arbejder indtil nu; også jeg arbejder."

But he answered them, My Father is working up to this time, and I work.

18 Derfor tragtede da Jøderne end mere efter at slå ham ihjel, fordi han ikke alene brød Sabbaten, men også kaldte Gud sin egen Fader og gjorde sig selv Gud lig.

On this account the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath, but also said that God was his own Father, making himself equal with God.

19 Så 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 også Sønnen ligeså.

Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly do I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father doing; for whatever He doeth, these things the Son also doeth in like manner;

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 loveth the Son, and showeth him all things which he himself doeth; and greater works than these will he show him, so that ye will wonder.

21 Thi ligesom Faderen oprejser de døde og gør levende, således gør også Sønnen levende, hvem han vil.

For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and giveth them life, so the Son also giveth life to whom he will.

22 Thi heller ikke dømmer Faderen nogen, men har givet Sønnen hele Dommen,

For neither doth the Father judge any one, but hath committed all judgment 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 honor the Son, as they honor the Father. He that honoreth not the Son, honoreth not 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 gået over fra Døden til Livet. (aiōnios g166)

Truly, truly do I say to you, He that heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and cometh not into condemnation, but hath passed out of death into 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.

Truly, truly do I say to you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and they that hear will live.

26 Thi ligesom Faderen har Liv i sig selv, således har han også givet Sønnen at have Liv i sig selv.

For as the Father hath life in himself, so did he give to the Son also to have life in himself.

27 Og han har givet ham Magt til at holde Dom, efterdi han er Menneskesøn.

And he gave him authority to execute judgment, because he is a son of man.

28 Undrer eder ikke herover; thi den Time kommer, på hvilken alle de, som ere i Gravene, skulle høre hans Røst,

Marvel not at this; for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the tombs will hear his voice,

29 og de skulle gå frem, de, som have gjort det gode, til Livets Opstandelse, men de, som have gjort det onde, til Dommens Opstandelse.

and will come forth, they that have done good, to a resurrection of life; they that have done evil, to a resurrection of condemnation.

30 Jeg kan slet intet gøre af mig selv; således som jeg hører, dømmer jeg, og min Dom er retfærdig; thi jeg søger ikke min Villie, men hans Villie, som sendte mig.

I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will, but the will of him that sent me.

31 Dersom jeg vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd ikke sandt".

If I bear witness of myself, my witness 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.

There is another who beareth witness of me; and ye know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.

33 I have sendt Bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for sandheden.

Ye have sent to John, and he hath borne witness to the truth.

34 Dog, jeg henter ikke Vidnesbyrdet fra et Menneske; men dette siger jeg, for at I skulle frelses.

But the testimony which I receive is not 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 were willing for a season to rejoice 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 the testimony which I have, is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to perform, the works themselves which I do, bear witness of 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, he hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his form.

38 og hans Ord have I ikke blivende i eder; thi den, som han udsendte, ham tro I ikke.

And ye have not his word abiding in you; for whom he sent, him ye believe not.

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 Scriptures, because ye yourselves think that in them ye have everlasting life; and it is they which testify of me; (aiōnios g166)

40 Og I ville ikke komme til mig, for at I kunne have Liv.

and ye are not willing to come to me, that ye may have life.

41 Jeg tager ikke Ære af Mennesker;

I receive not honor from men;

42 men jeg kender eder, at I have ikke Guds Kærlighed i eder.

but I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

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 my Father's name, and ye receive me not; if another 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 can ye believe while ye receive honor from one another, and seek not the honor that is from him who alone is God?

45 Tænker ikke, at jeg vil anklage eder for Faderen; der er en, som anklager eder, Moses, til hvem I have sat eders Håb.

Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye have placed your hope.

46 Thi dersom I troede Moses. troede I mig; thi han har skrevet om mig,

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.

47 Men tro I ikke hans Skrifter, hvorledes skulle I da tro mine Ord?"

But if ye do not believe his writings, how will ye believe my words?
