John 4
1 [At that time, many people were asking] Jesus to baptize them. He did not baptize people; it was [we] his disciples who were doing the baptizing. But when some of the Pharisee [religious group] heard [people say that] Jesus was making more disciples than John [the Baptizer] and was baptizing them, [they became very jealous].
Då nu Herren förnam, att Phariseerna hade hört att Jesus gjorde flera Lärjungar, och döpte, än Johannes;
(Ändock Jesus döpte icke sjelf, utan hans Lärjungar; )
3 When the Lord [Jesus] heard about that, [so that the Pharisees would not cause trouble for him], he left Judea [district], and went again [with us disciples] to Galilee district.
Öfvergaf han Judeen, och drog åter in i Galileen.
4 [He] knew that God wanted him to travel through Samaria [district].
Så måste han gå genom Samarien.
5 So we arrived at a town named Sychar in Samaria [district]. That was near the plot of ground that [our ancestor] Jacob had given to his son Joseph [long ago].
Och när han kom till en stad i Samarien, som kallas Sichar, vid en bolstad, som Jacob gaf sinom son Joseph;
6 The well that [used to] belong to Jacob was on that plot of ground. Jesus was tired from walking. So while [we] disciples went into the town to buy some food, he sat down alongside the well. It was about noontime. A woman who [lived there] in Samaria came to get some water [from the well]. Jesus said to her, “Will you give me [from the well] some water [to drink]?” The [woman knew that] Jews did not like ([to touch things that belong to] Samaritans/[to] come near Samaritans), (OR, Jews did not like to associate with Samaritans, )
Och der var Jacobs brunn. Och efter det Jesus var trötter af vägen, satte han sig så ned vid brunnen; och det var vid sjette timman.
Då kom en qvinna af Samarien, till att hemta vatten. Sade Jesus till henne: Gif mig dricka;
Ty hans Lärjungar voro gångne in i staden, till att köpa mat.
9 so the woman said to him, “You are a Jew, and I am from Samaria. Furthermore, I am a woman. So ([I am surprised] that you are asking me for a drink [of water]!/how is it that you are asking me for a drink [of water]?) [RHQ]”
Då sade den Samaritiska qvinnan till honom: Huru bedes du, som äst en Jude, dricka af mig, som är en Samaritisk qvinna? Ty Judarna hafva ingen handel med de Samariter.
10 Jesus replied to her, “If you [(sg)] knew what God [wanted to] give you, and if you knew who I am, the one who is asking you for a drink, you would have asked me, and I would have given you water that gives life.”
Jesus svarade, och sade till henne: Förstode du Guds gåfvo, och ho den är, som säger till dig: Gif mig dricka; då beddes du af honom, och han gåfve dig lefvandes vatten.
11 She [thought he was talking about] ordinary [water. So she] said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket [or a rope with which to get water from the well], and the well is deep. So [since you cannot get water from this well], where can you get that life-giving water?
Sade qvinnan till honom: Herre, icke hafver du det du kan tågat med, och brunnen är djuper; hvadan hafver du då lefvandes vatten?
12 Our ancestor Jacob left us this well. He drank water from it, and there was [enough good water] so that his sons and his flocks [of sheep] and goats drank from it also. [Do you claim that] you are greater than Jacob, [and because of that you can give us life-giving water]?”
Månn du vara mer än vår fader Jacob, som gaf oss brunnen, och drack af honom, med sin barn och sin boskap?
13 Jesus replied to her, “Everyone who drinks water from this [well] will later become thirsty again.
Då svarade Jesus, och sade till henne: Hvar och en som dricker af detta vattnet, han varder törstig igen;
15 The woman [did not understand that Jesus was speaking figuratively about something that would sustain her spiritually. So she] said to him, “Sir, give me that kind of water so that I will not get thirsty again, and so that I will not have to keep returning here to get water!”
Då sade qvinnan till honom: Herre, gif mig det vattnet, att jag icke törster, eller behöfver komma hit efter vatten.
16 [Jesus knew that she did not understand, but he wanted to show her by his God-given knowledge of her personal life that because he was the Messiah he could supply her spiritual need. So] he said to her, “Woman, go and call your husband, and bring him here!”
Sade Jesus till henne: Gack, kalla din man, och kom hit.
17 She replied, “I do not have a husband!” Jesus said to her, “You said that you do not have a husband, and that is true.
Svarade qvinnan, och sade: Jag hafver ingen man. Sade Jesus till henne: Du sade rätt, jag hafver ingen man;
18 It is also true that you have had five husbands [one by one]. And the man you are living with now is not your husband! What you have said is very true.”
Ty du hafver haft fem män, och den du nu hafver, är icke din man; det sade du sant.
19 The woman said to him, “Sir, I perceive you must be a prophet [because you are] able [to know people’s secrets].
Då sade qvinnan till honom: Herre, jag ser, att du äst en Prophet.
20 But [let me ask you a different question]: Our ancestors worshipped God here on [Gerizim Mountain], but you [Jews] say that Jerusalem is the place where we must worship [God. So who is right]?”
Våre fäder hafva tillbedit på detta berget, och I sägen, att i Jerusalem är det rum, der man tillbedja skall.
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me [when I say that] there will be a time when it will not [matter whether] you worship [God our] Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem [or somewhere else].
Jesus sade till henne: Qvinna, tro mig; den tid kommer, att hvarken på detta berget, eller i Jerusalem, skolen I tillbedja Fadren.
22 You [people from Samaria] do not know the one you are worshipping. But we [(exc) Jews] know whom we worship, because it is from [us] Jews that [God has sent the one who] will save people [from the guilt of their sins].
I veten icke hvad I tillbedjen; men vi vete hvad vi tillbedje; ty saligheten är af Judomen.
23 However, there will be a time when those who genuinely worship God will worship him as [God’s] Spirit [directs] and according to [God’s] truth. In fact, that time is now. Those are the kind of worshipers my Father seeks.
Men den tid kommer, och är nu allaredo, att rätte tillbedjare skola tillbedja Fadren i Andanom och sanningen; ty Fadren vill ock sådana hafva, som honom tillbedja skola.
24 God is a spiritual being. So it is necessary that those who worship him must worship him as his Spirit [directs] and [according to God’s] truth.”
Gud är en Ande; och de honom tillbedja, skola tillbedja honom i Andanom, och i sanningen.
25 The woman said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming. When he comes, he will tell us everything [we need to know].” (‘Messiah’ and ‘Christ’ [both mean ‘God’s promised king]’.)
Då sade qvinnan till honom: Jag vet, att Messias skall komma, som kallas Christus; när han kommer, varder han oss all ting undervisandes.
26 Jesus said to her, “I, the one speaking to you, am [the Messiah]!”
Sade Jesus till henne: Jag är den samme, som talar med dig.
27 Just then [we] disciples returned [from town]. [Since it was contrary to our custom for Jewish religious teachers to converse with a woman they did not know], we were surprised that he was talking to a woman. However, none of us asked her, “What do you want?” and none of us asked him, “Why are you talking with her?”
Och i det samma kommo hans Lärjungar, och undrade derpå, att han talade med qvinnone; dock sade ingen: Hvad frågar du, eller hvad talar du med henne?
28 The woman left her water jar there and went into the town. She said to the people there,
Då lät qvinnan stå sina kruko, och gick in i staden, och sade till det folket:
29 “Come and see a man who [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP], [even though I never met him before] Could this man be the Messiah?”
Kommer, och ser en man, som mig hafver sagt allt det jag hafver gjort. Månn han icke vara Christus?
30 So [many people] left the town and started going to where Jesus was.
Då gingo de af staden, och kommo till honom.
31 Meanwhile, we disciples were urging him, “Teacher, eat [some of the food we brought]!”
Deremellan bådo Lärjungarna honom, sägande: Rabbi, ät.
32 But he said to us, “I have food to eat that you do not know anything about!”
Sade han till dem: Jag hafver mat att äta, der I intet af veten.
33 So we started saying to each other, “(Surely no one has brought him any food [when we] were not [here]!/Has anyone brought him any food [when we] were not [here]?) [RHQ]”
Då sade Lärjungarna emellan sig: Månn någor hafver burit honom äta?
34 Jesus said to us, “Doing what [my Father] who sent me wants [me to do] and finishing the work he [gave me to do] is ([what sustains me/like] my food) [MET].
Sade Jesus till dem: Min mat är det, att jag gör hans vilja, som mig sändt hafver, och fullbordar hans verk.
35 [At this time of the year] you are saying (OR, your ancestors used to say), ‘There are four months left before we harvest [the crops].’ But I say to you, look carefully [at the non-Jewish people around here. God says, ‘They are ready to accept my message] [MET], [like crops in] fields that are ready for people to harvest.
Sägen I icke, fyra månader äro ännu, och skördatimmen kommer? Si, jag säger eder: Lyfter upp edor ögon, och beser markena; ty hon begynner hvitna till skörd.
36 [If you help them to accept my message], I will reward you [MET], [as an owner of a field] pays those who harvest the crops. Because of your work, people will gain eternal life.’ [I have been telling people God’s message. That is like] [MET] a man who plants seeds. [You will help people to accept my message. That will be like] [MET] harvesting crops. [When that happens], both you and I will rejoice. (aiōnios g166)
Och den der uppskär, han tager lön, och församlar frukt till evinnerligit lif; på det att både den som sår, och den som uppskär, skola tillsamman glädjas. (aiōnios g166)
37 As a result, this saying will become true: One person plants [seeds], but others harvest [the crops].
Ty här är det ordet sant, att en annar är den som sår, och en annar som uppskär.
38 I am sending you [to enable people to accept my message, but you will not be the first ones who tell them God’s message]. Others [previously] worked hard [to tell people God’s message], and now you will be harvesting the results of their work.”
Jag sände eder ut att uppskära, det I hafven intet arbetat; andre hafva arbetat, och I ären ingångne i deras arbete.
39 Many of the Samaria [district] people who [lived] in that town believed that Jesus [was the Messiah] because they heard what that woman said [about Jesus], “That man [was able to] tell me all about my past life [HYP]!”
Och månge Samariter af den staden trodde på honom, för qvinnones tals skull, som vittnade, att han hade sagt henne allt det hon hade gjort.
40 So when those people of Samaria came to Jesus, they urged him to stay with them. So we stayed there two days.
När nu de Samariter kommo till honom, bådo de honom att han ville blifva när dem; och han blef der i två dagar.
41 Many more of those people believed ([in Jesus/that he was the Messiah]) because of what he said.
Och mycket flere trodde för hans ords skull;
42 They told the woman, “We believe in Jesus [now], but not [just] because of what you told us. Now we have heard him ourselves. And now we know that this man truly is the one who [can] save [people] [MTY] [from the guilt of their sins].”
Och sade till qvinnona: Nu tro vi icke för ditt tals skull; ty vi hafve sjelfve hört, och vete, att han är visst Christus, verldenes Frälsare.
43 Jesus had said [previously] that people did not honor prophets [like himself when they tried to teach people] in their own home area. So, two days later, Jesus and [we] disciples left that area and went to [his own area in] Galilee [district, because he knew that people there would not think very highly of him, and as a result the Jewish leaders would not be jealous].
Men två dagar derefter gick han dädan, och drog in i Galileen.
Ty Jesus vittnade sjelf, att en Prophet varder intet afhållen i sitt fädernesland.
45 However, when we arrived in Galilee [district, many] of the people there welcomed him, because they had been in Jerusalem during the [Passover] celebration and had seen all the things he did there.
Och när han kom i Galileen, undfingo de Galileer honom, efter de all ting sett hade, som han gjort hade i Jerusalem, på högtidsdagen; ty de hade ock varit till högtidsdagen.
46 Jesus went again to Cana in Galilee [district]. That was where he [previously] turned water into wine. There was one of the king’s officials who lived in Capernaum, whose son was very sick.
Så kom åter Jesus i Cana i Galileen, der han hade gjort vin af vatten. Och der var en Konungsman, hvilkens son låg sjuk i Capernaum.
47 When that man heard [others say] that Jesus had returned to Galilee [district] from Judea [district], he went to Jesus [in Cana] and pleaded with him, “Please come down [to Capernaum] and heal my son, who is about to die!”
När han hörde, att Jesus var kommen af Judeen till Galileen, gick han till honom, och bad honom, att han ville komma ned, och göra hans son helbregda; ty han låg för döden.
48 Jesus said to him, “You people will believe my message only if you see me perform [more] miracles!”
Då sade Jesus till honom: Utan I sen tecken och under, tron I icke.
49 But the official said to him, “Sir, ([I] believe [in you/I believe that you came from God]). [So please] come down [to my home] before my son dies!”
Konungsmannen sade till honom: Herre, kom ned, förr än min son dör.
50 Jesus said to him, “Then you may go [home]. Your son (will live/not die)!” The man believed what Jesus said, and left.
Sade Jesus till honom: Gack, din son lefver. Då trodde mannen ordena, som Jesus sade till honom, och gick.
51 [The next day] while he was on the way home, his servants met him. They told him, “Your child is going to live!”
Och i det han gick ned, mötte honom hans tjenare, och bebådade honom, sägande: Din son lefver.
52 He asked them, “At what time did my son start to become well?” They said to him, “His fever ceased yesterday [afternoon] at one o’clock.”
Då besporde han med dem, hvad stund det var vordet bättre med honom. Och de sade till honom: I går, på sjunde timman, öfvergaf skälfvan honom.
53 Then the boy’s father realized that this was the time Jesus told him, “Your son will (live/not die).” So he and all the people in his house believed [that Jesus was the Messiah].
Då förstod fadren, att det var den timmen, i hvilkom Jesus hade sagt till honom: Din son lefver. Och han trodde, och allt hans hus.
54 That was the second miracle that Jesus performed in Galilee [district], after he had returned from Judea [district].
Detta är nu det andra tecknet, som Jesus gjorde, när han kom af Judeen i Galileen.
