John 9

1 Now as Jesus was passing by, He saw a man blind from birth,

1 Og da han gik forbi så han et Menneske, som var blindt fra Fødselen.

2 and His disciples asked Him, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”

2 Og hans Disciple spurgte ham og sagde: “Rabbi, hvem har syndet, denne eller hans Forældre, så han skulde fødes blind?”

3 Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God would be displayed in him.

3 Jesus svarede: “Hverken han eller hans Forældre have syndet; men det er sket, for at Guds Gerninger skulle åbenbares på ham.

4 While it is daytime, we must do the works of Him who sent Me. Night is coming, when no one can work.

4 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 in the world, I am the light of the world.”

5 Medens jeg er i Verden, er jeg Verdens Lys.”

6 When Jesus had said this, He spit on the ground, made some mud, and applied it to the man’s eyes.

6 Da han havde sagt dette, spyttede han på Jorden og gjorde Dynd af Spyttet og smurte Dyndet på hans Øjne.

7 Then He told him, “Go, wash in the Pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came back seeing.

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.

8 At this, his neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging began to ask, “Isn’t this the man who used to sit and beg?”

8 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 claimed that he was, but others said, “No, he just looks like him.” But the man kept saying, “I am the one.”

9 Nogle sagde: “Det er ham;” men andre sagde: “Nej, han ligner ham.” Han selv sagde: “Det er mig.”

10 “How then were your eyes opened?” they asked.

10 Da sagde de til ham: “Hvorledes bleve dine Øjne åbnede?”

11 He answered, “The man they call Jesus made some mud and anointed my eyes, and He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So I went and washed and received my sight.”

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.”

12 “Where is He?” they asked. “I do not know,” he answered.

12 Da sagde de til ham: “Hvor er han?” Han siger: “Det ved jeg ikke.”

13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind.

13 De føre ham, som før var blind, til Farisæerne.

14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened his eyes was a Sabbath.

14 Men det var Sabbat den Dag, da Jesus gjorde Dyndet og åbnede hans Øjne.

15 So the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. The man answered, “He put mud on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.”

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.”

16 Because of this, some of the Pharisees said, “This man is not from God, for He does not keep the Sabbath.” But others said, “How can a sinful man perform such signs?” And there was division among them.

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.

17 So once again they asked the man who had been blind, “What do you say about Him, since it was your eyes He opened?” “He is a prophet,” the man replied.

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.”

18 The Jews still did not believe that the man had been blind and had received his sight until they summoned his parents

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.

19 and asked, “Is this your son, the one you say was born blind? So how is it that he can now see?”

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?”

20 His parents answered, “We know he is our son, and we know he was born blind.

20 Hans Forældre svarede dem og sagde; “Vi vide, at denne er vor Søn, og at han, var født blind.

21 But how he can now see or who opened his eyes, we do not know. Ask him. He is old enough to speak for himself.”

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.”

22 His parents said this because they were afraid of the Jews. For the Jews had already determined that anyone who confessed Jesus as the Christ would be put out of the synagogue.

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.

23 That was why his parents said, “He is old enough. Ask him.”

23 Derfor sagde hans Forældre: “Han er gammel nok, spørger ham selv!”

24 So a second time they called for the man who had been blind and said, “Give glory to God! We know that this man is a sinner.”

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.”

25 He answered, “Whether He is a sinner I do not know. There is one thing I do know: I was blind, but now I see!”

25 Da svarede han: “Om han er en Synder, ved jeg ikke; én Ting ved jeg, at jeg, som var blind, nu ser.”

26 “What did He do to you?” they asked. “How did He open your eyes?”

26 De sagde da til ham igen: “Hvad gjorde han ved dig? Hvorledes åbnede han dine Øjne?”

27 He replied, “I already told you, and you did not listen. Why do you want to hear it again? Do you also want to become His disciples?”

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?”

28 Then they heaped insults on him and said, “You are His disciple; we are disciples of Moses.

28 Da udskældte de ham og sagde: “Du er hans Discipel; men vi ere Mose Disciple.

29 We know that God spoke to Moses, but we do not know where this man is from.”

29 Vi vide, at Gud har talt til Moses; men om denne vide vi ikke. hvorfra han er.”

30 “That is remarkable indeed!” the man said. “You do not know where He is from, and yet He opened my eyes.

30 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 listen to sinners, but He does listen to the one who worships Him and does His will.

31 Vi vide, at Syndere bønhører Gud ikke; men dersom nogen er gudfrygtig og gør hans Villie, ham hører han.

32 Never before has anyone heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind.

32 Aldrig er det hørt, at nogen har åbnet Øjnene på en blindfødt.

33 If this man were not from God, He could do no such thing.”

33 Var denne ikke fra Gud, da kunde han intet gøre.”

34 They replied, “You were born in utter sin, and you are instructing us?” And they threw him out.

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.

35 When Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, He found the man and said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”

35 Jesus hørte, at de havde udstødt ham; og da han traf ham sagde han til ham: “Tror du på Guds Søn?”

36 “Who is He, Sir?” he replied. “Tell me so that I may believe in Him.”

36 Han svarede og sagde: “Hvem er han, Herre? for at jeg kan tro på ham.”

37 “You have already seen Him,” Jesus answered. “He is the One speaking with you.”

37 Jesus sagde til ham: “Både har du set ham, og den, som taler med dig, ham er det.”

38 “Lord, I believe,” he said. And he worshiped Jesus.

38 Men han sagde: “Jeg tror Herre!” og han kastede sig ned for ham.

39 Then Jesus declared, “For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind may see and those who see may become blind.”

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.”

40 Some of the Pharisees who were with Him heard this, and they asked Him, “Are we blind too?”

40 Nogle af Farisæerne, som vare hos. ham, hørte dette, og de sagde til ham: “Mon også vi ere blinde?”

41 “If you were blind,” Jesus replied, “you would not be guilty of sin. But since you claim you can see, your guilt remains.”

41 Jesus sagde til dem: “Vare I blinde, da havde I ikke Synd; men nu sige I: Vi se; eders Synd forbliver.”
