John 11
1 [One time] there was a man whose name was Lazarus who was [very] sick. He lived in Bethany [village], where his [older] sisters Mary and Martha also lived.
Er was nu een zekere kranke, Lazarus van Bethanië, uit het dorp van Maria en Martha, haar zuster.
2 Mary was the woman who [later] poured perfume on the feet of the Lord [Jesus], and then wiped his feet with her hair.
Maria nu was het die den Heere zalfde met balsem en zijn voeten afdroogde met haar hoofdhaar, wier broeder Lazarus krank was.
3 So the two sisters sent [someone to tell] Jesus [about Lazarus], saying, “Lord, the one you love [very much] is very sick.”
De zusters dan zonden tot Jezus, zeggende: Heere, zie, dien Gij bemint is krank!
4 [They hoped that Jesus would come], but when Jesus heard the message, he said, “His being sick will not end in his dying. Instead, it will result in [people realizing] how great God is, and that I, God’s son, may be honored {that people may honor me, God’s son}, because of [what I will do].”
Toen Jezus dit hoorde zeide Hij: Deze krankheid is niet ten doode, maar om Gods glorie, opdat de Zone Gods door haar verheerlijkt worde!
5 Jesus loved Martha and her [younger] sister [Mary] and Lazarus.
Jezus nu beminde Martha en haar zuster en Lazarus.
6 But when Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed [where he was] for two more days.
Toen Hij dan gehoord had dat Lazarus krank was, bleef Hij twee dagen in de plaats waar Hij was.
7 But Jesus [wanted to see Lazarus]. So he said to us disciples, “Let’s go back to Judea.”
Maar daarna zeide Hij tot de discipelen: Laat ons wederom naar Judea gaan.
8 We said, “Teacher, just a short while ago the Jewish [leaders] [SYN] wanted to [kill you by] throwing stones at you. So ([we think that you should not] go back there again!/[are you sure that you want to] go back there again?) [RHQ]”
De discipelen zeiden tot Hem: Meester! kortgeleden zochten de Joden U te steenigen, en wederom gaat Gij derwaarts?
9 [To show us that nothing bad could happen to him until the time that God had chosen] [MET], Jesus replied, “There are [RHQ] twelve hours in the daytime, [which is enough time to do what God wants us to do]. People who walk in the daytime will not stumble [over things they cannot see], because they see things by the light from the sun.
Jezus antwoordde: Zijn er niet twaalf uren in den dag? Als iemand bij dag wandelt dan struikelt hij niet, omdat hij het licht dezer wereld ziet;
10 It is when people walk in the nighttime that they stumble over things, because they have no light.”
maar als iemand bij nacht wandelt, dan struikelt hij, omdat het licht in hem niet is.
11 After he said that, he told us, “Our friend Lazarus has gone to sleep. But I will go there so that I can wake him up.”
Dit sprak Hij; en daarna zeide Hij tot hen: Lazarus, onze vriend, is ingeslapen, maar Ik ga hem wakker maken.
12 So we said to him, “Lord, if he is sleeping, he will get well. [So you do not need to risk your life by going there].”
De discipelen dan zeiden tot Hem: Heere, als hij is ingeslapen, zal hij genezen worden!
13 Jesus was speaking [figuratively] about Lazarus’ death, but we thought that he was talking about really being asleep.
Doch Jezus had gesproken van zijn dood, maar de discipelen meenden dat Hij sprak van de rust des slaaps.
14 So then he told us plainly, “Lazarus is dead.
Toen zeide Jezus dan vrij uit tot hen: Lazarus is gestorven,
15 But for your sake I am glad that I was not there [when he died], because I want you to believe [more firmly that I] ([am the Messiah/came from God]). So now, [instead of staying here], let’s go to him.”
en Ik verheug Mij om uwentwil dat Ik daar niet was, opdat gij gelooven moogt; maar laat ons tot hem gaan.
16 Then Thomas, who was {whom they} called ‘The Twin’, said to the rest of us disciples, “Let’s all go, so that we may die with Jesus [when his enemies kill him].”
Thomas dan, genaamd de Tweeling, zeide tot de medediscipelen: Laat ons ook gaan opdat wij met Hem sterven!
17 When we arrived [close to Bethany], someone told Jesus that Lazarus [had died and had been buried and his body had] been in the tomb for four days.
Jezus dan kwam en bevond dat Lazarus al vier dagen in het graf lag.
18 Bethany is less than (two miles/three kilometers) from Jerusalem.
Bethanië nu was dicht bij Jerusalem, omtrent vijftien stadiën.
19 Many Jews had come [from Jerusalem] to console Martha and Mary over [the death of] their [younger] brother.
Velen dan uit de Joden waren tot Martha en Maria gekomen, om haar over haar broeder te vertroosten.
20 When Martha heard [someone say] that Jesus was coming, she went [along the road] to meet him. But Mary stayed in the house.
Martha dan, toen zij hoorde dat Jezus kwam, ging Hem te gemoet, doch Maria bleef in huis zitten.
21 When Martha [got to where Jesus was], she said to him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died [because you would have healed him]!
Martha dan zeide tot Jezus: Heere, als Gij hier geweest waart, dan zou mijn broeder niet zijn gestorven!
22 But I know that even now God will do for you whatever you ask [concerning my brother].”
Maar ook nu weet ik dat God U zal geven al wat Gij van God begeert!
23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will become alive again!”
Jezus zeide tot haar: Uw broeder zal verrijzen!
24 Martha said to him, “I know that he will become alive again when all people become alive again on the [Judgment] day.”
Martha zeide tot Hem: Ik weet dat hij zal verrijzen in de verrijzenis ten laatsten dage.
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the one who [enables people to] become alive again and who [causes people to] live [eternally]. Those who believe in me, even if they die, will live [again].
Jezus zeide tot haar: Ik ben de verrijzenis en het leven; die in Mij gelooft, zal leven, ook al was hij gestorven,
26 Furthermore, all those who believe in me while they are alive, [their souls] will not die [forever]. Do you believe that?” (aiōn g165)
en alwie leeft en in Mij gelooft, zal geenszins sterven in eeuwigheid! — Gelooft gij dat? (aiōn g165)
27 She said to him, “Yes, Lord! I believe that you are the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God). You are the one [God promised to send] into the world!”
Zij zeide tot Hem: Ja Heere! ik heb geloofd dat Gij de Christus zijt, de Zone Gods, die tot de wereld komt!
28 After she said that, she returned [to the house] and took her [younger] sister, Mary, aside and said to her, “The Teacher is close [to our village], and he wants to talk to you.”
En dit zeggende, ging zij weg en riep Maria, haar zuster, in stilte zeggende: De Meester is daar en Hij roept u!
29 When Mary heard that, she got up quickly and went to him.
Toen deze dit hoorde stond zij haastig op en kwam tot Hem.
30 Jesus had not yet entered the village; he was still at the place where Martha met him.
Jezus nu was nog niet gekomen tot aan het dorp, maar Hij was op de plaats waar Martha Hem te gemoet was gekomen.
31 The Jews who were in the house with Mary, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go outside. So they followed her, thinking that she was going to the tomb [where they had buried Lazarus], in order to cry there.
De Joden dan, die bij haar in het huis waren, en haar vertroostten, zagen Maria haastig opstaan en uitgaan, en zij volgden haar, meenende dat zij naar het graf ging om daar te weenen.
32 When Mary got to where Jesus was and saw him, she prostrated herself at his feet and said, “Lord, if you had been here, my [younger] brother would not have died!”
Maria dan, zoodra zij kwam waar Jezus was, en Hem zag, viel voor zijn voeten en zeide tot Hem: Heere, als Gij hier geweest waart, dan zou mijn broeder niet gestorven zijn!
33 When Jesus saw her crying, and saw that the Jews who had come with her were also crying, he was very angry [that Satan had caused Lazarus to die] (OR, very troubled) and disturbed in his spirit.
Jezus dan, toen Hij haar zag weenen en de Joden die met haar gekomen waren, insgelijks weenen, werd verontwaardigd in den geest en ontroerde,
34 He said, “Where have you buried (him/his body)?” They said to him, “Lord, come and see.”
en zeide: Waar hebt gij hem gelegd? — Zij zeiden tot Hem: Heere, kom en zie!
35 Jesus began to cry.
Jezus weende.
36 Then [some of] the Jews said, “Look how much he loved Lazarus!”
De Joden dan zeiden: Zie, hoe Hij hem beminde!
37 But some others said, “He enabled a blind man to see. So (he should have been able to [heal this man so that] he did not die!/why did he not [heal this man so that] he did not die?) [RHQ]”
Sommigen nu uit hen zeiden: Had deze, die de oogen des blinden opende, niet kunnen maken dat ook deze niet gestorven was?
38 Within himself Jesus was again very angry [about Lazarus dying] (OR, very troubled). He came to the tomb. It was a cave. The entrance had been covered with a large stone.
Jezus dan, wederom verontwaardigd zijnde in zich zelven, kwam tot het graf; en het was een spelonk en een steen was daarop gelegd.
39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone!” Martha, [who, as I mentioned before, was an older] sister of the man who had died, said, “Lord, his [body] has been [in the tomb] for four days, so now there will be a bad smell!”
Jezus zeide: Neemt den steen weg! De zuster van den gestorvene, Martha, zeide tot Hem: Heere, hij riekt al, want al vier dagen is hij dood!
40 Jesus said to her, “I told [RHQ] you that if you believed [in] ([me/what I can do]), you would see how great God is! Have [you forgotten that]?”
Jezus zeide tot haar: Heb Ik u niet gezegd dat gij Gods glorie zoudt zien, als gij gelooft?
41 So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up [toward heaven] and said, “My Father, I thank you that you heard me [when I prayed about this earlier].
Zij namen dan den steen weg. En Jezus sloeg de oogen naar boven en zeide: Vader, Ik dank U dat Gij Mij gehoord hebt;
42 I know that you always hear me [when I pray]. But instead [of just praying silently], I said that for the sake of the people who are standing here. I want them to believe that you sent me.”
doch Ik wist dat Gij Mij altijd hoort; maar ter wille van de schare die rondom staat, heb Ik gesproken, opdat zij zouden gelooven dat Gij Mij gezonden hebt.
43 After he said that, he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!”
En dit gezegd hebbende, riep Hij met een luide stem: Lazarus, kom uit!
44 The man who [had been] dead came out! The strips of cloth were still wrapped around his [hands and feet], and a cloth was still around his face, [but he came out]! Jesus said to them, “Take off the cloths so that he can walk easily!” [So they did that].
De doode kwam uit, gebonden aan handen en voeten met windselen, en zijn aangezicht was bewonden met een zweetdoek. En Jezus zeide tot hen: Maakt hem los, en laat hem weggaan!
45 As a result, many of the Jews who had come to [see] Mary and who had seen what Jesus did, believed that he ([was the Messiah/had come from God]).
Velen dan uit de Joden, die tot Maria gekomen waren en gezien hadden wat Jezus gedaan had, geloofden in Hem.
46 But some of the [others] went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done.
Maar sommigen uit hen gingen heen tot de fariseërs en zeiden hun wat Jezus gedaan had.
47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered all the members of the [Jewish] Council together. They started saying [to each other], “What are we going to do [about Jesus]? He is performing many miracles!
De overpriesters dan en de fariseërs vergaderden den Raad en zeiden: Wat gaan wij doen? Want deze mensch doet veel mirakelen!
48 If we allow him to keep [doing this], everyone will believe (in him/that he [is the Messiah]), [and they will make him their king]. Then the Roman [army] will come and destroy our Temple and our whole nation of Israel!”
Als wij Hem zoo laten voortgaan, dan zullen allen in Hem gelooven, en de Romeinen zullen komen en onze plaats en ons volk beide wegnemen!
49 One of the [Jewish Council] members was Caiaphas. He was the Jewish high priest that year. [Hinting that they should get rid of Jesus], he said to them, “You [talk as though you] do not know anything [HYP]!
En één uit hen, Kajafas, die dat jaar hoogepriester was, zeide tot hen: Gij verstaat niets,
50 You do not realize that it would be much better for us if one man died for the sake of the people rather than that [the Romans kill] all the [people of our Jewish] nation.”
en gij bedenkt niet dat voor u beter is dat één mensch sterve voor het volk, en niet de geheele natie verloren ga
51 He said that, not because he thought of it himself. Instead, since he was the high priest that year, he was prophesying that Jesus would die for the whole [Jewish] nation.
— Dit nu zeide hij niet van zich zelven, maar, dat jaar hoogepriester zijnde, profeteerde hij dat Jezus zou sterven voor de natie,
52 But he was also prophesying that Jesus would die, not just for the Jews, but for all the people living in other lands who [would belong] to God, in order that he would unite [all of them into] one [group].
en niet alleen voor die natie, maar opdat Hij ook de kinderen Gods, die verstrooid waren, tot één zou vergaderen.
53 So from that day the [Jewish leaders] started to make plans how they could kill Jesus.
Van dien dag af dan beraadslaagden zij om Hem te dooden.
54 Because of that, Jesus no longer traveled around publicly among the Jewish people. Instead, he left [Jerusalem, along] with us disciples, and went to a village called Ephraim, in an area near the desolate region. We stayed there [for a while].
Jezus dan wandelde niet meer vrij onder de Joden, maar ging vandaar naar de landstreek, dicht bij de woestijn, naar een stad genaamd Efraïm; en daar verbleef Hij met de discipelen.
55 When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover [celebration], many [Jews] went up to Jerusalem from other places in the country. They went there to perform the rituals to make themselves acceptable [to God] before the Passover [celebration started].
Het Paaschfeest der Joden was nu nabij; en velen uit die landstreek gingen op naar Jerusalem voor het Paaschfeest, om zich te zuiveren.
56 The Jewish chief priests and Pharisees issued an order that if anyone found out where Jesus was, that person should report it to them, in order that they could seize him. [So the people thought that Jesus would] probably [not dare to come to the celebration]. But they kept looking for him, and as they were standing in the Temple [courtyard] they were saying to each other, “What do you think? He will not come to the celebration, will he?”
Zij zochten dan Jezus en zeiden onder malkander, toen ze in den tempel stonden: Wat dunkt u? zou Hij niet naar het feest komen?
De overpriesters nu en de fariseërs hadden geboden dat, zoo iemand wist waar Hij was, hij het zou aanbrengen, opdat ze Hem vangen zouden.
