< John 4 >

1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and immersing more disciples than John
Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
2 (although Jesus himself did not immerse, but his disciples),
(skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
3 he left Judea, and departed into Galilee.
da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
4 And it was necessary for him to pass through Samaria.
Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
5 So he comes to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the place that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
Han kommer da til en By i Samaria, som kaldes Sykar, nær ved det Stykke Land, som Jakob gav sin Søn Josef.
6 And Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore being wearied from the journey, thus was sitting on the well. It was about the sixth hour.
Og der var Jakobs Brønd. Jesus satte sig da, træt af Rejsen, ned ved Brønden; det var ved den sjette Time.
7 A woman of Samaria comes to draw water. Jesus says to her, Give me to drink.
En samaritansk Kvinde kommer for at drage Vand op. Jesus siger til hende: „Giv mig noget at drikke!‟
8 For his disciples had gone away into the city so that they might buy food.
Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How do thou, being Jewish, ask to drink from me, being a Samaritan woman, for Jews do not associate with Samaritans?
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 Samaritaner.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou had known the gift of God, and who it is who says to thee, Give me to drink, thou would have asked him, and he would have given thee living water.
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.‟
11 The woman says to him, Sir, thou have not even a container, and the well is deep. From where then have thou the living water?
Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! du har jo intet at drage op med, og Brønden er dyb; hvorfra har du da det levende Vand?
12 Are thou greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well, and drank from it himself, and his sons, and his livestock?
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?‟
13 Jesus answered and said to her, Every man who drinks of this water will thirst again,
Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will, no, not thirst into the age. But the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life. (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
Men den, som drikker af det Vand, som jeg giver ham, skal til evig Tid ikke tørste; men det Vand, som jeg giver ham, skal blive i ham en Kilde af Vand, som fremvælder til et evigt Liv.‟ (aiōn g165, aiōnios g166)
15 The woman says to him, Give me this water, sir, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw out.
Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! giv mig dette Vand, for at jeg ikke skal tørste og ikke komme hid for at drage op.‟
16 Jesus says to her, Go, call thy husband, and come here.
Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!‟
17 The woman answered and said to him, I have no husband. Jesus says to her, Thou said correctly, I have no husband.
Kvinden svarede og sagde: „Jeg har ingen Mand.‟ Jesus siger til hende: „Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
18 For thou have had five husbands, and he whom thou now have is not thy husband. This thou have said true.
Thi du har haft fem Mænd; og han, som du nu har, er ikke din Mand. Det har du sagt sandt.‟
19 The woman says to him, Sir, I perceive that thou are a prophet.
Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is necessary to worship.
Vore Fædre have tilbedet paa dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede.‟
21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, that the hour is coming when neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem will ye worship the Father.
Jesus siger til hende: „Tro mig, Kvinde, at den Time kommer, da det hverken skal være paa dette Bjerg eller i Jerusalem, at I tilbede Faderen.
22 Ye worship what ye do not know. We worship what we know, because salvation is from the Jews.
I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
23 But an hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for also the Father seeks such kind who worship him.
Men den Time kommer, ja, den er nu, da de sande Tilbedere skulle tilbede Faderen i Aand og Sandhed; thi det er saadanne Tilbedere, Faderen vil have.
24 God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
Gud er Aand, og de, som tilbede ham, bør tilbede i Aand og Sandhed.‟
25 The woman says to him, I know that Messiah comes, he who is called Christ. When that man comes he will declare all things to us.
Kvinden siger til ham: „Jeg ved, at Messias kommer (hvilket betyder Kristus); naar han kommer, skal han kundgøre os alle Ting.‟
26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am the man.
Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
27 And upon this his disciples came. And they marveled that he spoke with the woman, yet no man said, What seek thou? or, Why do thou speak with her?
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?‟
28 The woman therefore left her water pot, and departed into the city, and says to the men,
Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke staa og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
29 Come, see a man who told me all, as many things as I did. Is not this the Christ?
„Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?‟
30 They went out of the city, and came to him.
De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
31 In the meanwhile the disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, eat.
Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!‟
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat that ye know not.
Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
33 The disciples therefore said to each other, Did any man bring him to eat?
Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: „Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?‟
34 Jesus says to them, My food is that I do the will of him who sent me, and may finish his work.
Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
35 Do ye not say, There are still four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and see the fields, that they are already white for harvest.
Sige I ikke: Der er endnu fire Maaneder, saa kommer Høsten? Se, jeg siger eder, opløfter eders Øjne og ser Markerne; de ere allerede hvide til Høsten.
36 And he who reaps receives a wage and gathers fruit for eternal life, so that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Den, som høster, faar Løn og samler Frugt til et evigt Liv, saa at de kunne glæde sig tilsammen, baade den, som saar, og den, som høster. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this the saying is true, One is who sows, and another who reaps.
Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
38 I sent you to reap what ye have not labored. Others have labored, and ye have entered into their labor.
Jeg har udsendt eder at høste det, som I ikke have arbejdet paa; andre have arbejdet, og I ere gaaede ind i deres Arbejde.‟
39 And many of the Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, He told me all, as many things as I did.
Men mange af Samaritanerne fra den By troede paa ham paa Grund af Kvindens Ord, da hun vidnede: „Han har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort.‟
40 So when the Samaritans came to him they asked him to remain with them, and he remained there two days.
Da nu Samaritanerne kom til ham, bade de ham om at blive hos dem; og han blev der to Dage.
41 And many more believed because of his word.
Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
42 And they said to the woman, We no longer believe because of thy speaking, for we have heard ourselves, and know that this really is the Savior of the world, the Christ.
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.‟
43 And after the two days he departed from there and went into Galilee.
Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
44 For Jesus himself testified that a prophet has no honor in his own fatherland.
Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
45 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
Da han nu kom til Galilæa, toge Galilæerne imod ham, fordi de havde set alt det, som han gjorde i Jerusalem paa Højtiden; thi ogsaa de vare komne til Højtiden.
46 Jesus therefore came again to Cana of Galilee where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
Han kom da atter til Kana i Galilæa, hvor han havde gjort Vandet til Vin. Og der var en kongelig Embedsmand, hvis Søn laa syg i Kapernaum.
47 This man having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and besought him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was going to die.
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.
48 Jesus therefore said to him, Unless ye may see signs and wonders, ye will, no, not believe.
Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.‟
49 The nobleman says to him, Sir, come down before my child dies.
Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.‟
50 Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and he departed.
Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.‟ Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
51 And as he was now going down, his bondmen met him and reported, saying, Thy boy lives.
Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
52 So he inquired of them the hour in which he fared well. And they said to him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.
Da udspurgte han dem om den Time, i hvilken det var blevet bedre med ham; og de sagde til ham: „I Gaar ved den syvende Time forlod Feberen ham.‟
53 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives. And he himself believed and his whole house.
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.
54 This again is a second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
