John 5
1 After these things there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Derefter var det Jødernes Højtid, og Jesus gik op til Jerusalem.
2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the place pertaining to sheep, a pool, which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches.
Men der er i Jerusalem ved Faareporten en Dam, som paa Hebraisk kaldes Bethesda, og den har fem Søjlegange.
3 In these lay a great multitude of those who are feeble, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the movement of the water.
I dem laa der en Mængde syge, blinde, lamme, visne, [som ventede paa, at Vandet skulde røres.
4 For an agent went down at a certain time into the pool, and agitated the water. Therefore the first man who stepped in after the agitation of the water became well from whatever affliction he had.
Thi paa 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 And a certain man was there who was thirty-eight years in the weakness.
Men der var en Mand, som havde været syg i otte og tredive Aar.
6 When Jesus saw this man lying down, and knew that he fares now a long time, he says to him, Do thou desire to become well?
Da Jesus saa ham ligge der og vidste, at han allerede havde ligget i lang Tid, sagde han til ham: „Vil du blive rask?‟
7 The infirmed man answered him, Sir, I have no man so that when the water is agitated he might put me into the pool, but while I am coming another steps down before me.
Den syge svarede ham: „Herre! jeg har ingen, som kan bringe mig ned i Dammen, naar Vandet bliver oprørt; men naar jeg kommer, stiger en anden ned før mig.‟
8 Jesus says to him, Arise, take up thy bed and walk.
Jesus siger til ham: „Staa op, tag din Seng og gaa!‟
9 And straightaway the man became well, and took up his bed and walked. Now it was sabbath on that day.
Og straks blev Manden rask, og han tog sin Seng og gik. Men det var Sabbat paa den Dag;
10 The Jews therefore said to the man who was cured, It is sabbath. It is not permitted for thee to take up the bed.
derfor sagde Jøderne til ham, som var bleven helbredet: „Det er Sabbat; og det er dig ikke tilladt at bære Sengen.‟
11 He answered them, The man who made me well, that man said to me, Take up thy bed and walk.
Han svarede dem: „Den, som gjorde mig rask, han sagde til mig: Tag din Seng og gaa!‟
12 Therefore they asked him, Who is the man who said to thee, Take up thy bed and walk?
Da spurgte de ham: „Hvem er det Menneske, som sagde til dig: Tag din Seng og gaa?‟
13 But the man who was healed had not known who he is, for Jesus withdrew, a multitude being in the place.
Men han, som var bleven helbredet, vidste ikke, hvem det var; thi Jesus havde unddraget sig, da der var mange Mennesker paa Stedet.
14 After these things Jesus finds him in the temple, and said to him, Behold, thou have become well. Sin no more, lest something worse may happen to thee.
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!‟
15 The man departed and reported to the Jews that Jesus is the man who made him well.
Manden gik bort og sagde til Jøderne, at det var Jesus, som havde gjort ham rask.
16 And because of this the Jews persecuted Jesus, and sought to kill him, because he did these things on a sabbath.
Og derfor forfulgte Jøderne Jesus, fordi han havde gjort dette paa en Sabbat.
17 But Jesus answered them, My Father works until now and I work.
Men Jesus svarede dem: „Min Fader arbejder indtil nu; ogsaa jeg arbejder.‟
18 Because of this therefore the Jews sought even more to kill him, because not only did he relax the sabbath, but also he called God his own Father, making himself equal to God.
Derfor tragtede da Jøderne end mere efter at slaa ham ihjel, fordi han ikke alene brød Sabbaten, men ogsaa kaldte Gud sin egen Fader og gjorde sig selv Gud lig.
19 Jesus therefore answered and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of himself, except what he sees the Father doing. For whatever he may do, the Son also does these things in like manner.
Saa 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 ogsaa Sønnen ligesaa.
20 For the Father loves the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. And he will show him works greater than these, so that ye may marvel.
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.
21 For as the Father raises up the dead and makes alive, so also the Son makes alive whom he will.
Thi ligesom Faderen oprejser de døde og gør levende, saaledes gør ogsaa Sønnen levende, hvem han vil.
22 For neither does the Father judge any man, but he has given all judgment to the Son,
Thi heller ikke dømmer Faderen nogen, men har givet Sønnen hele Dommen,
23 so that all would honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. The man not honoring the Son, does not honor the Father who sent him.
for at alle skulle ære Sønnen, ligesom de ære Faderen. Den, som ikke ærer Sønnen, ærer ikke Faderen, som udsendte ham.
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he who hears my word, and believes him who sent me, has eternal life. And he does not come into condemnation, but has passed from death into life. (aiōnios g166)
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 gaaet over fra Døden til Livet. (aiōnios g166)
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, that an hour comes, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live.
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.
26 For as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son to have life in himself.
Thi ligesom Faderen har Liv i sig selv, saaledes har han ogsaa givet Sønnen at have Liv i sig selv.
27 And he also gave him authority to execute judgment because he is a son of man.
Og han har givet ham Magt til at holde Dom, efterdi han er Menneskesøn.
28 Marvel not at this, because an hour comes in which all those in the sepulchers will hear his voice,
Undrer eder ikke herover; thi den Time kommer, paa hvilken alle de, som ere i Gravene, skulle høre hans Røst,
29 and will come forth, those who have done right to a resurrection of life, and those who have practiced wrong to a resurrection of judgment.
og de skulle gaa frem, de, som have gjort det gode, til Livets Opstandelse, men de, som have gjort det onde, til Dommens Opstandelse.
30 I can from myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge. And my judgment is righteous because I seek not my will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
Jeg kan slet intet gøre af mig selv; saaledes som jeg hører, dømmer jeg, og min Dom er retfærdig; thi jeg søger ikke min Villie, men hans Villie, som sendte mig.
31 If I testify about myself, my witness is not valid.
Dersom jeg vidner om mig selv, er mit Vidnesbyrd ikke sandt.
32 There is another who testifies about me, and I know that the testimony that he testifies about me is valid.
Det er en anden, som vidner om mig, og jeg ved, at det Vidnesbyrd er sandt, som han vidner om mig.
33 Ye have sent to John, and he has testified to the truth.
I have sendt Bud til Johannes, og han har vidnet for Sandheden.
34 But I do not take the testimony from man. However, I say these things, so that ye may be saved.
Dog, jeg henter ikke Vidnesbyrdet fra et Menneske; men dette siger jeg, for at I skulle frelses.
35 That man was the lamp that burns and shines, and ye were willing to rejoice for an hour in his light.
Han var det brændende og skinnende Lys, og I have til en Tid villet fryde eder ved hans Lys.
36 But I have testimony greater than of John, for the works that the Father has given me so that I might complete them, the same works that I do, they testify about me that the Father has sent me.
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.
37 And the Father, he who sent me, has testified about me. Ye have neither heard his voice, nor have ever seen his appearance.
Og Faderen, som sendte mig, han har vidnet om mig. I have aldrig hverken hørt hans Røst eller set hans Skikkelse,
38 And ye have not his word dwelling in you, because ye do not believe that man whom he sent for this.
og hans Ord have I ikke blivende i eder; thi den, som han udsendte, ham tro I ikke.
39 Ye search the scriptures, because ye think to have eternal life in them, and those are testifying about me. (aiōnios g166)
I ransage Skrifterne, fordi I mene i dem at have evigt Liv; og det er dem, som vidne om mig. (aiōnios g166)
40 And ye will not come to me, so that ye may have life.
Og I ville ikke komme til mig, for at I kunne have Liv.
41 I do not receive glory from men.
Jeg tager ikke Ære af Mennesker;
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God within yourselves.
men jeg kender eder, at I have ikke Guds Kærlighed i eder.
43 I have come in my Father's name, and ye do not accept me. If another man should come in his own name, ye will accept that man.
Jeg er kommen i min Faders Navn, og I modtage mig ikke; dersom en anden kommer i sit eget Navn, ham ville I modtage.
44 How can ye believe, who receive glory from each other, and seek not the glory from the only God?
Hvorledes kunne I tro, I, som tage Ære af hverandre, og den Ære, som er fra den eneste Gud, søge I ikke?
45 Think not that I will accuse you to the Father. The man who accuses you is Moses, in whom ye have hoped.
Tænker ikke, at jeg vil anklage eder for Faderen; der er en, som anklager eder, Moses, til hvem I have sat eders Haab.
46 For if ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me, for that man wrote about me.
Thi dersom I troede Moses, troede I mig; thi han har skrevet om mig.
47 But if ye believe not the writings of that man, how will ye believe my sayings?
Men tro I ikke hans Skrifter, hvorledes skulle I da tro mine Ord?‟
