John 4
1 Now when Jesus knew that the Pharisees had heard that he was making and baptizing 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 was not baptizing, but his disciples were),
(skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
3 he left Judea and went back again to Galilee.
da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
4 But it was necessary for him to go through Samaria.
Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
5 So he came to a town of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of land that Jacob had given 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 The well of Jacob was there. Jesus was tired from his journey and sat by 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 Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, “Give me some water 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 town to buy food.
Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
9 Then the Samaritan woman said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, are asking me, being a Samaritan woman, for something to drink?” For Jews have no dealings 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 that is saying to you, 'Give me a 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 said to him, “Sir, you do not have a bucket and the well is deep. Where then do you have 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 You are not greater, are you, than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did his sons and his cattle?”
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 replied and said to her, “Everyone who drinks from this water will be thirsty again,
Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: „Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
15 The woman said to him, “Sir, give me this water so that I may not become thirsty and not have to come here to draw water.”
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 said to her, “Go, call your husband, and come back here.”
Jesus siger til hende: „Gaa bort, kald paa din Mand, og kom hid!‟
17 The woman answered and said to him, “I do not have a husband.” Jesus replied, “You are right in saying, '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 you have had five husbands, and the one you now have is not your husband. What you have said is 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 said to him, “Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
Kvinden siger til ham: „Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that Jerusalem is the place where people have to worship.”
Vore Fædre have tilbedet paa dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede.‟
21 Jesus said to her, “Believe me, woman, that an hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
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 do not know. We worship what we know, for salvation is from the Jews.
I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
23 However, the hour is coming, and is now here, when true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to be his worshipers.
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 the people 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 said to him, “I know that the Messiah is coming (the one called Christ). When he comes, he will explain everything 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 said to her, “I am he, the one speaking to you.”
Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
27 At that moment his disciples returned. Now they were wondering why he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, “What do you want?” or “Why are you speaking 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 So the woman left her water pot, went back to the town, and said to the people,
Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke staa og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
29 “Come, see a man who told me everything that I have ever done. This could not be the Christ, could it?”
„Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?‟
30 They left the town and came to him.
De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
31 In the meantime, the disciples were urging him, saying, “Rabbi, eat.”
Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: „Rabbi, spis!‟
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you do not know about.”
Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
33 So the disciples said to each other, “No one has brought him anything to eat, have they?”
Da sagde Disciplene til hverandre: „Mon nogen har bragt ham noget at spise?‟
34 Jesus said to them, “My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to complete his work.
Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
35 Do you not say, 'There are four more months and then the harvest comes'? I am saying to you, look up and see the fields, for they are already ripe 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 He who is harvesting receives wages and gathers fruit for everlasting life, so that he who sows and he who harvests 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, 'One sows, and another harvests,' is true.
Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
38 I sent you to harvest what you have not worked for. Others have worked, 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 Many of the Samaritans in that city believed in him because of the report of the woman who was testifying, “He told me everything that I have done.”
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 stay with them, and he stayed there two days.
Da nu Samaritanerne kom til ham, bade de ham om at blive hos dem; og han blev der to Dage.
41 Many more believed because of his word.
Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
42 They said to the woman, “We no longer believe because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard, and we know that this one is indeed the savior of the world.”
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 After those two days, he departed from there for Galilee.
Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
44 For Jesus himself declared that a prophet has no honor in his own country.
Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
45 When he came into Galilee, the Galileans welcomed him. They had seen all the things that he had done in Jerusalem at the festival, for they had also gone to the festival.
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 Now he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. There was a certain royal official whose son in Capernaum was ill.
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 When he heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to Jesus and asked him to come down and heal his son, who 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, “Unless you 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 official said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Embedsmanden siger til ham: „Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør.‟
50 Jesus said to him, “Go. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went away.
Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.‟ Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
51 While he was going down, his servants met him, saying that his son was living.
Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
52 So he asked them the hour when he began to improve. They replied 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 realized that it was at that hour that Jesus had said to him, “Your son lives.” So he himself and his whole household believed.
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 was the second sign that Jesus did when he came out of Judea to Galilee.
Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
