John 4
1 Therefore when the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus 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 didn’t baptize, but his disciples),
(skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
3 he left Judea and departed into Galilee.
da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
4 He needed to pass through Samaria.
Men han maatte rejse igennem Samaria.
5 So he came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground 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 Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being tired from his journey, sat down 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 woman of Samaria came to draw water. Jesus said to her, “Give me a 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 city to buy food.
Hans Disciple vare nemlig gaaede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore said to him, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” (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 her, “If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says 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 have nothing to draw with, and the well is deep. So where do you get that 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 drank from it himself, as did his children 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 her, “Everyone who drinks 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 said to him, “Sir, give me this water, so that I don’t get thirsty, neither come all the way 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 said 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, “I have no husband.” Jesus said to her, “You said well, ‘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 he whom you now have is not your husband. This you have said truly.”
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 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 Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought 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, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming 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 that which you don’t know. We worship that which 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 But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such 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 those 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 Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ. When he has come, he will declare to 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 said to her, “I am he, the one who speaks to you.”
Jesus siger til hende: „Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig.‟
27 Just then, his disciples came. They marveled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no one said, “What are you looking for?” 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 So the woman left her water pot, went away into the city, 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 done. Can this be the Christ?”
„Kommer og ser en Mand, som har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort; mon han skulde være Kristus?‟
30 They went out of the city, and were coming to him.
De gik ud af Byen og kom gaaende til ham.
31 In the meanwhile, the disciples urged 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 don’t know about.”
Men han sagde til dem: „Jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende.‟
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, “Has anyone brought him something to eat?”
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 accomplish his work.
Jesus siger til dem: „Min Mad er, at jeg gør hans Villie, som udsendte mig, og fuldbyrder hans Gerning.
35 Don’t you say, ‘There are yet four months until the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, that they are white for 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 He who reaps receives wages and gathers fruit to eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps 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 true, ‘One sows, and another reaps.’
Thi her er det Ord sandt: En saar, og en anden høster.
38 I sent you to reap that for which you haven’t labored. Others have 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 From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified, “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 begged him to stay with them. 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, “Now we believe, not because of your speaking; for we have heard for ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, 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 the two days he went out from there and went into Galilee.
Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
44 For Jesus himself testified 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 So when he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all the things that he did in Jerusalem at the feast, for they also went to the feast.
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 into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at 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 When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
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 therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.”
Da sagde Jesus til ham: „Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro.‟
49 The nobleman 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 way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
Jesus siger til ham: „Gaa bort, din Søn lever.‟ Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
51 As he was going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!”
Men allerede medens han var paa Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
52 So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore 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 So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did 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 is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.
Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
