John 4
1 When therefore the Lord knew that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus makes and baptises more disciples than John
Da Herren nu erfarede, at Farisæerne havde hørt, at Jesus vandt flere Disciple og døbte flere end Johannes
2 (however, Jesus himself did not baptise, but his disciples),
(skønt Jesus ikke døbte selv, men hans Disciple):
3 he left Judaea and went away again unto Galilee.
da forlod han Judæa og drog atter bort til Galilæa.
4 And he must needs pass through Samaria.
Men han måtte rejse igennem Samaria.
5 He comes therefore to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near to the land which 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 Now a fountain of Jacob's was there; Jesus therefore, being wearied with the way he had come, sat just as he was at the fountain. 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 comes 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 had gone away into the city that they might buy provisions).
Hans Disciple vare nemlig gåede bort til Byen for at købe Mad.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore says to him, How dost thou, being a Jew, ask to drink of me who am a Samaritan woman? for Jews have no intercourse 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 Samaritanere.
10 Jesus answered and said to her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that says to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee 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, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou 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 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank of it himself, and 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 answered and said to her, Every one who drinks of this water shall thirst again;
Jesus svarede og sagde til hende: "Hver den, som drikker af dette Vand, skal tørste igen.
15 The woman says to him, Sir, 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 thy husband, and come here.
Jesus siger til hende: "Gå bort, kald på din Mand, og kom hid!"
17 The woman answered and said, I have not a husband. Jesus says to her, Thou hast well said, I have not a husband;
Kvinden svarede og sagde: "Jeg har ingen Mand." Jesus siger til hende: "Med Rette sagde du: Jeg har ingen Mand.
18 for thou hast had five husbands, and he whom now thou hast is not thy husband: this thou hast spoken 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 says to him, Sir, I see that thou art a prophet.
Kvinden siger til ham: "Herre! jeg ser, at du er en Profet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain, and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where one must worship.
Vore Fædre have tilbedt på dette Bjerg, og I sige, at i Jerusalem er Stedet, hvor man bør tilbede."
21 Jesus says to her, Woman, believe me, [the] hour is coming when ye shall neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem worship the Father.
Jesus siger til hende: "Tro mig, Kvinde, at den Time kommer, da det hverken skal være på dette Bjerg eller i Jerusalem, at I tilbede Faderen.
22 Ye worship ye know not what; we worship what we know, for salvation is of the Jews.
I tilbede det, I ikke kende; vi tilbede det, vi kende; thi Frelsen kommer fra Jøderne.
23 But [the] hour is coming and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for also the Father seeks such as his worshippers.
Men den Time kommer, ja, den er nu, da de sande Tilbedere skulle tilbede Faderen i Ånd og Sandhed; thi det er sådanne Tilbedere, Faderen vil have.
24 God [is] a spirit; and they who worship him must worship [him] in spirit and truth.
Gud er Ånd, og de, som tilbede ham, bør tilbede i Ånd og Sandhed."
25 The woman says to him, I know that Messias is coming, who is called Christ; when he comes he will tell us all things.
Kvinden siger til ham: "Jeg ved, at Messias kommer (hvilket betyder Kristus); når han kommer, skal han kundgøre os alle Ting."
26 Jesus says to her, I who speak to thee am [he].
Jesus siger til hende: "Det er mig, jeg, som taler med dig."
27 And upon this came his disciples, and wondered that he spoke with a woman; yet no one said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou 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 waterpot and went away into the city, and says to the men,
Da lod Kvinden sin Vandkrukke stå og gik bort til Byen og siger til Menneskene der:
29 Come, see a man who told me all things I had ever done: is not he 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 came to him.
De gik ud af Byen og kom gående til ham.
31 But meanwhile the disciples asked him saying, Rabbi, eat.
Imidlertid bade Disciplene ham og sagde: "Rabbi, spis!"
32 But he said to them, I have food to eat which ye do not know.
Men han sagde til dem, jeg har Mad at spise, som I ikke kende."
33 The disciples therefore said to one another, Has any one brought 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 should do the will of him that has sent me, and that I should 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 ye say, that there are yet four months and the harvest comes? Behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes and behold the fields, for they are already white to harvest.
Sige I ikke: Der er endnu fire Måneder, så kommer Høsten? Se, jeg siger eder, opløfter eders Øjne og ser Markene; de ere allerede hvide til Høsten.
36 He that reaps receives wages and gathers fruit unto life eternal, that both he that sows and he that reaps may rejoice together. (aiōnios g166)
Den, som høster, får Løn og samler Frugt til et evigt Liv, så at de kunne glæde sig tilsammen, både den, som sår, og den, som høster. (aiōnios g166)
37 For in this is [verified] the true saying, It is one who sows and another who reaps.
Thi her er det Ord sandt: En sår, og en anden høster.
38 I have sent you to reap that on which ye have not laboured; others have laboured, and ye have entered into their labours.
Jeg har udsendt eder at høste det, som I ikke have arbejdet på; andre have arbejdet, og I ere gåede ind i deres Arbejde."
39 But many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him because of the word of the woman who bore witness, He told me all things that I had ever done.
Men mange af Samaritanerne fra den By troede på ham på Grund af Kvindens Ord, da hun vidnede: "Han har sagt mig alt det, jeg har gjort."
40 When therefore the Samaritans came to him they asked him to abide with them, and he abode 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 more a great deal believed on account of his word;
Og mange flere troede for hans Ords Skyld.
42 and they said to the woman, [It is] no longer on account of thy saying that we believe, for we have heard him ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Saviour 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 But after the two days he went forth thence and went away into Galilee,
Men efter de to Dage gik han derfra til Galilæa.
44 for Jesus himself bore witness that a prophet has no honour in his own country.
Thi Jesus vidnede selv, at en Profet ikke bliver æret i sit eget Fædreland.
45 When therefore he came into Galilee, the Galileans received him, having seen all that he had done in Jerusalem during 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 på Højtiden; thi også de vare komne til Højtiden.
46 He came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain courtier in Capernaum whose son was sick.
Han kom da atter til Kana i Galilæa, hvor han havde gjort Vandet til Vin. Og der var en kongelig Embedsmand, hvis Søn lå syg i Kapernaum.
47 He, having heard that Jesus had come out of Judaea into Galilee, went to him and asked [him] that he would come down and 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 therefore said to him, Unless ye see signs and wonders ye will not believe.
Da sagde Jesus til ham: "Dersom I ikke se Tegn og Undergerninger, ville I ikke tro."
49 The courtier says to him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
Embedsmanden siger til ham: "Herre! kom, før mit Barn dør."
50 Jesus says to him, Go, thy son lives. And the man believed the word which Jesus said to him, and went his way.
Jesus siger til ham: "Gå bort, din Søn lever." Og Manden troede det Ord, som Jesus sagde til ham, og gik bort.
51 But already, as he was going down, his servants met him and brought [him] word saying, Thy child lives.
Men allerede medens han var på Hjemvejen, mødte hans Tjenere ham og meldte, at hans Barn levede.
52 He inquired therefore from them the hour at which he got 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 Går ved den syvende time forlod Feberen ham."
53 The father therefore knew that [it was] in that hour in which Jesus said to him, Thy son lives; and he believed, himself 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 second sign again did Jesus, being come out of Judaea into Galilee.
Dette var det andet Tegn, som Jesus gjorde, da han var kommen fra Judæa til Galilæa.
