John 9
1 And as [Jesus] passed by, he saw a man which was blind from [his] birth.
Og da han gik forbi, saa han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: „Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, saa han skulde fødes blind?‟
3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
Jesus svarede: „Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle aabenbares paa ham.
4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
Jeg maa gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, saa længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.
5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys.‟
6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han paa Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet paa hans Øjne.
7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
Og han sagde til ham: „Gaa hen, to dig i Dammen Siloam‟ (hvilket er udlagt: udsendt). Da gik han bort og toede sig, og han kom seende tilbage.
8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
Da sagde Naboerne og de, som før vare vante til at se ham som Tigger: „Er det ikke ham, som sad og tiggede?‟
9 Some said, This is he: others [said], He is like him: [but] he said, I am [he].
Nogle sagde: „Det er ham; ‟ men andre sagde: „Nej, han ligner ham.‟ Han selv sagde: „Det er mig.‟
10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?
Da sagde de til ham: „Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne aabnede?‟
11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.
Han svarede: „En Mand, som kaldes Jesus, gjorde Dynd og smurte det paa mine Øjne og sagde til mig: Gaa hen til Siloam og to dig! Da jeg saa gik hen og toede mig, blev jeg seende.‟
12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.
Da sagde de til ham: „Hvor er han?‟ Han siger: „Det ved jeg ikke.‟
13 They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind.
De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
14 And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes.
Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og aabnede hans Øjne.
15 Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see.
Atter spurgte nu ogsaa Farisæerne ham, hvorledes han var bleven seende. Men han sagde til dem: „Han lagde Dynd paa mine Øjne, og jeg toede mig, og nu ser jeg.‟
16 Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them.
Nogle af Farisæerne sagde da: „Dette Menneske er ikke fra Gud, efterdi han ikke holder Sabbaten.‟ Andre sagde: „Hvorledes kan et syndigt Menneske gøre saadanne Tegn?‟ Og der var Splid imellem dem.
17 They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet.
De sige da atter til den blinde: „Hvad siger du om ham, efterdi han aabnede dine Øjne?‟ Men han sagde: „Han er en Profet.‟
18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight.
Saa troede Jøderne ikke om ham, at han havde været blind og var bleven seende, førend de fik kaldt paa Forældrene til ham, som havde faaet sit Syn.
19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
Og de spurgte dem og sagde: „Er denne eders Søn, om hvem I sige, at han var født blind? Hvorledes er han da nu seende?‟
20 His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:
Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde: „Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han var født blind.
21 But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself.
Men hvorledes han nu er bleven seende, vide vi ikke, og hvem der har aabnet hans Øjne, vide vi ikke heller; spørger ham; han er gammel nok; han maa selv tale for sig.‟
22 These [words] spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
Dette sagde hans Forældre, fordi de frygtede for Jøderne; thi Jøderne vare allerede komne overens om, at dersom nogen bekendte ham som Kristus, skulde han udelukkes af Synagogen.
23 Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him.
Derfor sagde hans Forældre: „Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!‟
24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner.
Da hidkaldte de anden Gang Manden, som havde været blind, og sagde til ham: „Giv Gud Æren; vi vide, at dette Menneske er en Synder.‟
25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner [or no], I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see.
Da svarede han: „Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser.‟
26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes?
De sagde da til ham igen: „Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes aabnede han dine Øjne?‟
27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear [it] again? will ye also be his disciples?
Han svarede dem: „Jeg har allerede sagt eder det, og I hørte ikke efter. Hvorfor ville I høre det igen? Ville ogsaa I blive hans Disciple?‟
28 Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples.
Da udskældte de ham og sagde: „Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
29 We know that God spake unto Moses: [as for] this [fellow], we know not from whence he is.
Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke, hvorfra han er.‟
30 The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and [yet] he hath opened mine eyes.
Manden svarede og sagde til dem: „Det er dog underligt, at I ikke vide, hvorfra han er, og han har aabnet mine Øjne.
31 Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth.
Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.
32 Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. (aiōn g165)
Aldrig er det hørt, at nogen har aabnet Øjnene paa en blindfødt. (aiōn g165)
33 If this man were not of God, he could do nothing.
Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre.‟
34 They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out.
De svarede og sagde til ham: „Du er hel og holden født i Synder, og du vil lære os?‟ Og de stødte ham ud.
35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?
Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham, sagde han til ham: „Tror du paa Guds Søn?‟
36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?
Han svarede og sagde: „Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro paa ham.‟
37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.
Jesus sagde til ham: „Baade har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det.‟
38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.
Men han sagde: „Jeg tror, Herre!‟ og han kastede sig ned for ham.
39 And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind.
Og Jesus sagde: „Til Dom er jeg kommen til denne Verden, for at de, som ikke se, skulle blive seende, og de, som se, skulle blive blinde.‟
40 And [some] of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also?
Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: „Mon ogsaa vi ere blinde?‟
41 Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth.
Jesus sagde til dem: „Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver.‟
