Johannes 9
1 Og da han gik forbi så han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
Passing by, Jesus saw a man who was blind from birth.
2 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: "Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, så han skulde fødes blind?"
His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
3 Jesus svarede: "Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle åbenbares på ham.
Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that God’s works might be revealed in this man.
4 Jeg må gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, så længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.
We must work the works of Him who sent me, as long as it’s day. Night is coming, when nobody can work.
5 Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys."
As long as I am in the world, I am the world’s light.”
6 Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han på Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet på hans Øjne.
After Jesus said this, He spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva, put it on the blind man’s eyes,
7 Og han sagde til ham: "Gå hen, to dig i Dammen Siloam" (hvilket er udlagt: udsendt). Da gik han bort og toede sig, og han kom seende tilbage.
and told him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.
8 Da sagde Naboerne og de, som før vare vante til at se ham som Tigger: "Er det ikke ham, som sad og tiggede?"
Then the neighbors and those who used to see him as a beggar began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Nogle sagde: "Det er ham;" men andre sagde: "Nej, han ligner ham." Han selv sagde: "Det er mig."
Some were saying, “Yes, it is he,” others were saying, “No, but he is like him.” He kept saying, “I’m the one.”
10 Da sagde de til ham: "Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne åbnede?"
So they asked him, “How were your eyes opened?”
11 Han svarede: "En Mand, som kaldes Jesus, gjorde Dynd og smurte det på mine Øjne og sagde til mig: Gå hen til Siloam og to dig! Da jeg så gik hen og toede mig, blev jeg seende."
He answered, “The man called Jesus made mud, put it on my eyes, and told me, ‘Go to Siloam, and wash’; so I went and washed, and I received sight.”
12 Da sagde de til ham: "Hvor er han?" Han siger: "Det ved jeg ikke."
“Where is this man?” they asked him. “I don’t know,” he said.
13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
They brought the man who used to be blind to the Pharisees.
14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og åbnede hans Øjne.
Now it was a sabbath day when Jesus made the mud and opened the man’s eyes.
15 Atter spurgte nu også Farisæerne ham, hvorledes han var bleven seende. Men han sagde til dem: "Han lagde Dynd på mine Øjne, og jeg toede mig, og nu ser jeg."
So the Pharisees were also asking him how he received his sight. He told them, “He applied mud to my eyes, I washed, and I see.”
16 Nogle af Farisæerne sagde da: "Dette Menneske er ikke fra Gud, efterdi han ikke holder Sabbaten." Andre sagde: "Hvorledes kan et syndigt Menneske gøre sådanne Tegn?" Og der var Splid imellem dem.
Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man isn’t from God, because He doesn’t keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a sinner do such signs?” So there was a division among them.
17 de sige da atter til den blinde: "Hvad siger du om ham, efterdi han åbnede dine Øjne?" Men han sagde: "Han er en Profet."
So they turned again to the blind man and asked, “What do you say about him? It was your eyes he opened.” He said, “He is a prophet.”
18 Så troede Jøderne ikke om ham, at han havde været blind og var bleven seende, førend de fik kaldt på Forældrene til ham, som havde fået sit Syn.
The Jews didn’t believe that he had been blind, and had received sight, until they called the parents of the one who had received his sight,
19 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?"
and questioned them, saying, “Is this your son, who you say was born blind? Then how does he now see?”
20 Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde; "Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han, var født blind.
His parents answered them, “We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind,
21 Men hvorledes han nu er bleven seende, vide vi ikke, og hvem der har åbnet hans Øjne, vide vi ikke heller; spørger ham; han er gammel nok; han må selv tale for sig."
but how he now sees, we don’t know. Who opened his eyes, we don’t know. Ask him. He is of age. He will speak for himself.”
22 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.
His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews, for the Jews had already agreed that if anyone would confess that Jesus was the Christ, they would be put out of the synagogue.
23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: "Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!"
For this reason, his parents said, “Ask him. He is of age.”
24 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."
So they called the man who had been blind a second time, and told him, “Give glory to God. We know that this man is a sinner.”
25 Da svarede han: "Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser."
He answered, “Whether He is a sinner or not I don’t know. One thing I do know: that though I was blind, now I see.”
26 De sagde da til ham igen: "Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes åbnede han dine Øjne?"
Then they asked him again, “What did He do to you? How did He open your eyes?”
27 Han svarede dem: "Jeg har allerede sagt eder det, og I hørte ikke efter. Hvorfor ville I høre det igen? Ville også I blive hans Disciple?"
He answered, “I told you already, and you didn’t listen. Why do you want to hear it again? You don’t want to become His disciples, too, do you?”
28 Da udskældte de ham og sagde: "Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
Then they became abusive towards him and said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples.
29 Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke. hvorfra han er."
We know that God spoke to Moses, but as for this man, we don’t know where He is from.”
30 Manden svarede og sagde til dem: "Det er dog underligt, at I ikke vide, hvorfra han er, og han har åbnet mine Øjne.
The man answered, “How amazing! You don’t know where He comes from, yet He opened my eyes.
31 Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.
We know that God doesn’t hear sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing, and does His will, He hears him.
Since the beginning of time it has never been heard of that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind. (aiōn g165)
33 Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre."
If this man weren’t from God, He could do nothing.”
34 De svarede og sagde til ham: "Du er hel og holden født i Synder, og du vil lære os?" Og de stødte ham ud.
To this they replied, “Who are you to teach us? You were born entirely in sin!” Then they threw him out.
35 Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham sagde han til ham: "Tror du på Guds Søn?"
Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and finding him, He said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”
36 Han svarede og sagde: "Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro på ham."
He answered, “Who is He, sir, that I may believe in Him?”
37 Jesus sagde til ham: "Både har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det."
Jesus told him, “You have seen Him, and it is He who is talking with you.”
38 Men han sagde: "Jeg tror Herre!" og han kastede sig ned for ham.
Then he said, “Lord, I believe!” and he worshipped Jesus.
39 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."
Jesus said, “I came into this world for judgment, so that those who don’t see may see, and those who do see may become blind.”
40 Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos. ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: "Mon også vi ere blinde?"
Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard these things, and asked Him, “We aren’t blind too, are we?”
41 Jesus sagde til dem: "Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver."
Jesus told them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin, but since you say, ‘We see,’ your sin remains.
