John 4
1 When therefore the LORD knew that the Pharisees heard that Jesus makes and immerses more disciples than John,
Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
2 (though indeed Jesus Himself was not immersing, but His disciples),
(skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
3 He left Judea and went away again to Galilee,
da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
4 and it was necessary [for] Him to go through Samaria.
Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
5 He comes, therefore, to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to 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 there was there a well of Jacob. Jesus therefore having been weary from the journeying, was thus sitting on the well; it was as it were 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 there comes a woman out of Samaria 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 were gone away into the city that they may buy food;
Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
9 the Samaritan woman therefore says to Him, “How do You, being a Jew, ask drink from me, being a Samaritan woman?” For Jews have no dealing 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 you had known the gift of God, and who it is who is saying to you, Give Me to drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you 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, “Lord, You do not even have a vessel to draw with, and the well is deep; from where, then, have You 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 You greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and himself drank out of it, 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, “Everyone who is drinking of this water will thirst again;
Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
15 The woman says to Him, “Lord, give me this water, that I may not thirst, nor come here to draw.”
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 your husband, and come here”;
Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!”
17 the woman answered and said, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus says to her, “Well did you say—I do not have a husband;
Kvinden svarede og sagde: „Jeg har ingen Mand.” Jesus siger til hende: „Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
18 for you have had five husbands, and now, he whom you have is not your husband; you have said this correctly.”
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, “Lord, I perceive that You are a prophet;
Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
20 our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and You say that in Jerusalem is the place where it is required 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 there comes an hour when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, will you 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 you worship what you have not known; we worship what we have known, because salvation is of the Jews;
I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
23 but there comes an hour, and it now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father also seeks such to 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 worshiping Him should 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 have known that Messiah comes, who is called Christ, when that One may come, He will tell us all things”;
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 am speaking to you am [He].”
Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.”
27 And on this came His disciples, and were wondering that He was speaking with a woman, no one, however, said, “What do You seek?” Or “Why do You 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 then left her water-jug and went away 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 things—as many as I did; is 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 forth therefore out of the city, and were coming to Him.
De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
31 And in the meanwhile His disciples were asking Him, saying, “Rabbi, eat”;
Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!”
32 and He said to them, “I have food to eat that you have not known.”
Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.”
33 The disciples then said to one another, “Did anyone bring Him anything 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 may 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 not say that it is yet four months, and the harvest comes; behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes, and see the fields, that they are white to harvest already.
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 is reaping receives a reward, and gathers fruit to continuous life, that both he who is sowing and he who is reaping 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 the true one, that one is the sower and another the reaper.
Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
38 I sent you to reap on that which you have not labored; others labored, and you 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 from that city believed in Him, of the Samaritans, because of the word of the woman testifying, “He told me all things—as many 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 When, then, the Samaritans came to Him, they were asking 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 said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of your speaking; for we ourselves have heard and known that this is truly 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 went forth from there, and went away to Galilee,
Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
44 for Jesus Himself testified that a prophet will not have honor in his own country;
Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
45 when then, He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all things that He did in Jerusalem in the celebration—for they also went to the celebration.
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 came, therefore, again to Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine, and there was a certain attendant, whose son was ailing in 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 he, having heard that Jesus comes out of Judea to Galilee, went away to Him, and was asking Him that He may come down and may heal his son, for he was about 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 then said to him, “If you may not see signs and wonders, you will not believe.”
Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.”
49 The attendant says to Him, “Lord, come down before my child dies”;
Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.”
50 Jesus says to him, “Be going on; your son lives.” And the man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and was going on,
Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.” Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
51 and he now going down, his servants met him, and told, saying, “Your child lives”;
Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
52 he inquired then of them the hour in which he became better, 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 then the father knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your 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 [was] a second sign Jesus did, having come out of Judea to Galilee.
Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
