Apostelenes gerninger 1
1 Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte baade at gøre og lære,
The former book I wrote, Theophilus, told all that Jesus began to do and to teach,
2 indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligaand;
until the day that he was taken up, after he had given commands through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
3 for hvem han ogsaa, efter at han havde lidt, fremstillede sig levende ved mange Beviser, idet han viste sig for dem i fyrretyve Dage og talte om de Ting, der høre til Guds Rige.
After his suffering, he presented himself alive to them with many convincing proofs. For forty days he appeared to them, and he spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke maatte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, „hvorom, ‟ sagde han, „I have hørt af mig.
When he was meeting together with them, he commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, about which, he said, “You heard from me
5 Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand om ikke mange Dage.‟
that John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit in a few days.”
6 Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: „Herre! opretter du paa denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?‟
When they were assembled together they asked him, “Lord, is this the time you will restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 Men han sagde til dem: „Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
He said to them, “It is not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father has determined by his own authority.
8 Men I skulle faa Kraft, naar den Helligaand kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner baade i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende.‟
But you will receive power, when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
9 Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de saa derpaa, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
When the Lord Jesus had said these things, as they were looking up, he was raised up, and a cloud hid him from their eyes.
10 Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
While they were looking intensely to heaven as he went, suddenly, two men stood by them in white clothing.
11 og de sagde: „I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor staa I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen paa samme Maade, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen.‟
They said, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, will return in the same manner as you saw him going into heaven.”
12 Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the Mount of Olives, which is near to Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey.
13 Og da de kom derind, gik de op paa den Sal, hvor de plejede at opholde sig, Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Andreas, Filip og Thomas, Bartholomæus og Matthæus, Jakob Alfæus's Søn og Simon Zelotes, og Judas, Jakobs Søn.
When they arrived, they went up into the upper chamber, where they were staying. They were Peter, John, James, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James.
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
They were all united as one, as they diligently continued in prayer. Included were the women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde, (og der var en Skare samlet paa omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
In those days Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers, about 120 people, and said,
16 „I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligaand forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
“Brothers, it was necessary that the scripture should be fulfilled, that the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who guided the ones who arrested Jesus.
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde faaet denne Tjenestes Lod.
For he was one of us and received his share of the benefits of this ministry.”
18 Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
(Now this man bought a field with the earnings he received for his wickedness, and there he fell headfirst, and his body burst open, and all his intestines poured out.
19 hvilket ogsaa er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, saa at den Ager kaldes paa deres eget Maal Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
All those living in Jerusalem heard about this, so they called that field in their language “Akeldama,” that is, “Field of Blood.”)
20 Thi der er skrevet i Psalmernes Bog: „Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den, ‟ og: „Lad en anden faa hans Tilsynsgerning.‟
“For it is written in the Book of Psalms, 'Let his field be made desolate, and do not let even one person live there'; 'Let someone else take his position of leadership.'
21 Derfor bør en af de Mænd, som vare sammen med os i hele den Tid, da den Herre Jesus gik ind og gik ud hos os,
It is necessary, therefore, that one of the men who accompanied us all the time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 lige fra Johannes's Daab indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse.‟
beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was taken up from us, must be a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23 Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
They put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also named Justus, and Matthias.
24 Og de bade og sagde: „Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
They prayed and said, “You, Lord, know the hearts of all people, so reveal which of these two is the one whom you have chosen
25 til at faa denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gaa hen til sit eget Sted.‟
to take the place in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned away to go to his own place.”
26 Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt paa Matthias, og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
They cast lots for them, and the lot fell to Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
