John 9
1 As Jesus walked along [with us], he saw a man who had been blind from the time he was born.
Og da han gik forbi så han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.
2 We disciples asked him, “Teacher, was this man blind from when he was born because his parents sinned or because he himself sinned?”
Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: "Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, så han skulde fødes blind?"
3 Jesus replied, “His being blind was not because he or his parents sinned. Instead, [he has been blind] in order that [people can] see the power of God {the power of God can be seen} as a result of [what will now happen] to him.
Jesus svarede: "Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle åbenbares på ham.
4 While there is still time, I must do the work that the one who sent me [wants me to do. Just like daytime is followed by] nighttime when people do not work, [at the end of our lives] [MET] [it is too late for us to do what God wants].
Jeg må gøre hans Gerninger, som sendte mig, så længe det er Dag; der kommer en Nat, da ingen kan arbejde.
5 While I am still [living] in this world, I am the [one who enables people to know about God, like] [MET] [a] light enables the people in [MTY] this world [to see what is in the darkness].”
Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys."
6 After he said that, he spat on the ground. He made [a little bit of] mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han på Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet på hans Øjne.
7 Then he said to him, “Go and wash in Siloam pool!” (That name means ‘sent;’ [just like they sent the water by a channel into the pool, God sent Jesus]). So the man went and washed [in the pool], and when he went home he was able to see!
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.
8 His neighbors and others who previously had seen him when he was begging said, “He is the man who used to sit here and beg, isn’t he?”
Da sagde Naboerne og de, som før vare vante til at se ham som Tigger: "Er det ikke ham, som sad og tiggede?"
9 Some said, “[Yes], he is.” Others said, “No, [he is not]. It is [just] a man who looks like him!” But the man himself said, “Yes, I am that man!”
Nogle sagde: "Det er ham;" men andre sagde: "Nej, han ligner ham." Han selv sagde: "Det er mig."
10 So they said to him, “How is it that now you can see?”
Da sagde de til ham: "Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne åbnede?"
11 He replied, “The man whose name is Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. Then he told me to go to Siloam [pool] and wash. So I went there and washed, and then I could see.”
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."
12 They said to him, “Where is that man [now]?” He said, “I do not know.”
Da sagde de til ham: "Hvor er han?" Han siger: "Det ved jeg ikke."
13 They took to the Pharisees the man who was previously blind.
De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.
14 The day on which Jesus made the mud and enabled the man to see again was a (Sabbath/Jewish day of rest). [The Pharisees considered that healing someone was work, and their rules did not permit people to do any work] ([on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day]).
Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og åbnede hans Øjne.
15 So the Pharisees also asked that man, “How did you become able to see?” He said to them, “The man put mud on my eyes. Then I washed, and now I can see!”
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."
16 So some of the Pharisees said, “Since this man [Jesus] disobeys [our rules about working] (on the Sabbath/on the Jewish rest day), he is not from God.” But others said, “If he was a sinner, (he could certainly not do such miracles!/how could he do such miracles?) [RHQ]” So they were divided.
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.
17 So one of them said to the blind man again, “You are the man whom he enabled to see. What do you yourself say about him?” The man said, “[I think] he is a prophet!” [So they told him to go].
de sige da atter til den blinde: "Hvad siger du om ham, efterdi han åbnede dine Øjne?" Men han sagde: "Han er en Profet."
18 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] still did not believe that the man was blind when he was born, and that he was [now] able to see. So they sent someone to bring the man’s parents.
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.
19 [When they got there], one of [the Jewish leaders] asked them, “Is that man your son? Do you say that he was blind when he was born? [If that is true], how is he now able to see?”
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?"
20 His parents replied, “We know that he is our son. We know that he was blind when he was born.
Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde; "Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han, var født blind.
21 But we do not know how he is able to see now. We also do not know who enabled him to see. Ask our son! He is old enough [to answer questions from authorities like you] He can tell you himself!”
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."
22 The Jewish [leaders] [SYN] had previously declared that they would prevent anyone who declared that Jesus was the Messiah from [entering] their synagogues. His parents [knew that, so] they were afraid of the Jewish [leaders] [SYN].
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.
23 That is the reason that they said, “He is old enough [to answer questions], so ask him!”
Derfor sagde hans Forældre: "Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!"
24 So they sent someone to bring back to them the man who had been blind. [When he got there], the [Jewish leaders] said to him, “Knowing that God [is listening] [IDM], tell the truth! We know that the man who healed you is a sinner.”
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."
25 He replied, “I do not know if he is a sinner or not. But one thing I do know is that I was blind, but now I can see!”
Da svarede han: "Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; een Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser."
26 So they said to him, “What did he do to you? How did he enable you to see?”
De sagde da til ham igen: "Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes åbnede han dine Øjne?"
27 He replied, “I told you that already, but you did not [RHQ] pay attention! Why do you want to hear me tell you again? (Do you also want to become his disciples?/You talk as though [IRO] you also want to become his disciples [RHQ]).”
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?"
28 Then they insulted him angrily. They said, “You are that man’s disciple, but we are Moses’ disciples!
Da udskældte de ham og sagde: "Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.
29 We know that God spoke to Moses; but this man, we do not know where he is from or where he [gets any authority] from!”
Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke. hvorfra han er."
30 The man replied, “That is very surprising! You [say that] you do not know where he [gets any authority]. But he enabled me to see!
Manden svarede og sagde til dem: "Det er dog underligt, at I ikke vide, hvorfra han er, og han har åbnet mine Øjne.
31 We know that God does not help sinners [who ask God to help them]. Instead, he listens to [and helps] godly people who pray. He listens to people who do what God wants.
Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.
32 No one has ever enabled a man to see who was blind when he was born [like I was]. That has never happened since the world began! (aiōn g165)
Aldrig er det hørt, at nogen har åbnet Øjnene på en blindfødt. (aiōn g165)
33 So if this man had not come from God, he would not be able to do anything [like that]!”
Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre."
34 They replied to him, “You (were born [as a result of your parents’] sin [EUP]/bastard)! (Do you think you are qualified to teach us?/You are not qualified to teach us!) [RHQ]” Then they threw him out [of the synagogue].
De svarede og sagde til ham: "Du er hel og holden født i Synder, og du vil lære os?" Og de stødte ham ud.
35 Jesus heard [people say] that they had thrown that man out. He found the man and said to him, “Do you believe that the one who came down from heaven [is the Messiah]?”
Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham sagde han til ham: "Tror du på Guds Søn?"
36 The man answered, “Sir, who is he? [Tell me], in order that I may believe in him.”
Han svarede og sagde: "Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro på ham."
37 Jesus said to him, “You have seen him. [In fact, it is I], the one who am speaking to you.”
Jesus sagde til ham: "Både har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det."
38 The man said, “Lord, I believe that [you are the Messiah]!” Then he [knelt down before] Jesus and worshipped him.
Men han sagde: "Jeg tror Herre!" og han kastede sig ned for ham.
39 Jesus said, “I have come into this world to judge [the people in the world]. The result will be that [those who realize that they do not know God’s truth will perceive it. That is like] [MET] [enabling] those who are blind to see. But the result will also be that people who [falsely think] [IRO] that [they understand God’s truth will never understand it. That is like] [MET] [people] who are blind remaining blind permanently.”
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."
40 Some of the Pharisees who were with him heard him say that, and said to him, “You are not suggesting that we are [like] blind people, are you?”
Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos. ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: "Mon også vi ere blinde?"
41 Jesus said to them, “If you [realized that you did not yet know God’s truth, but you wanted to, then you would be like] blind people [who wanted to see. God would be able to] forgive your sins. But you are now [falsely] claiming that you [know God’s truth, so you are like people who are blind who claim that they] can see. [Because of that, God is not able to] forgive your sins.”
Jesus sagde til dem: "Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver."
