Apostelenes gerninger 11
1 Men Apostlene og de Brødre, som vare rundt om i Judæa, hørte, at ogsaa Hedningerne havde modtaget Guds Ord.
And the apostles and brethren, who were in Judea, heard that the Gentiles also had received the word of God.
2 Og da Peter kom op til Jerusalem, tvistedes de af Omskærelsen med ham og sagde:
And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 „Du er gaaet ind til uomskaarne Mænd og har spist med dem.‟
Saying: Why didst thou go in to men uncircumcised, and didst eat with them?
4 Men Peter begyndte og forklarede dem det i Sammenhæng og sagde:
But Peter began and declared to them the matter in order, saying:
5 „Jeg var i Byen Joppe og bad; og jeg saa i en Henrykkelse et Syn, noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned fra Himmelen, og den kom lige hen til mig.
I was in the city of Joppe praying, and I saw in an ecstasy of mind a vision, a certain vessel descending, as it were a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners, and it came even unto me.
6 Jeg stirrede paa den og betragtede den og saa da Jordens firføddede Dyr og vilde Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.
Into which looking, I considered, and saw fourfooted creatures of the earth, and beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air:
7 Og jeg hørte ogsaa en Røst, som sagde til mig: Staa op, Peter, slagt og spis!
And I heard also a voice saying to me: Arise, Peter; kill and eat.
8 Men jeg sagde: Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig kom noget vanhelligt eller urent i min Mund.
And I said: Not so, Lord; for nothing common or unclean hath ever entered into my mouth.
9 Men en Røst svarede anden Gang fra Himmelen: Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!
And the voice answered again from heaven: What God hath made clean, do not thou call common.
10 Og dette skete tre Gange; saa blev det igen alt sammen draget op til Himmelen.
And this was done three times: and all were taken up again into heaven.
11 Og se, i det samme stode tre Mænd ved det Hus, i hvilket jeg var, som vare udsendte til mig fra Kæsarea.
And behold, immediately there were three men come to the house wherein I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12 Men Aanden sagde til mig, at jeg skulde gaa med dem uden at gøre Forskel. Men ogsaa disse seks Brødre droge med mig, og vi gik ind i Mandens Hus.
And the Spirit said to me, that I should go with them, nothing doubting. And these six brethren went with me also: and we entered into the man’s house.
13 Og han fortalte os, hvorledes han havde set Engelen staa i hans Hus og sige: Send Bud til Joppe og lad Simon med Tilnavn Peter hente!
And he told us how he had seen an angel in his house, standing, and saying to him: Send to Joppe, and call hither Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 Han skal tale Ord til dig, ved hvilke du og hele dit Hus skal frelses.
Who shall speak to thee words, whereby thou shalt be saved, and all thy house.
15 Men idet jeg begyndte at tale, faldt den Helligaand paa dem ligesom ogsaa paa os i Begyndelsen.
And when I had begun to speak, the Holy Ghost fell upon them, as upon us also in the beginning.
16 Og jeg kom Herrens Ord i Hu, hvorledes han sagde: Johannes døbte med Vand, men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand.
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how that he said: John indeed baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
17 Naar altsaa Gud gav dem lige Gave med os, da de troede paa den Herre Jesus Kristus, hvem var da jeg, at jeg skulde kunne hindre Gud?‟
If then God gave them the same grace, as to us also who believed in the Lord Jesus Christ; who was I, that could withstand God?
18 Men da de hørte dette, bleve de rolige, og de priste Gud og sagde: „Saa har Gud ogsaa givet Hedningerne Omvendelsen til Liv.‟
Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.
19 De, som nu vare blevne adspredte paa Grund af den Trængsel, som opstod i Anledning af Stefanus, vandrede om lige til Fønikien og Kypern og Antiokia, og de talte ikke Ordet til nogen uden til Jøder alene.
Now they who had been dispersed by the persecution that arose on occasion of Stephen, went about as far as Phenice and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to none, but to the Jews only.
20 Men iblandt dem var der nogle Mænd fra Kypern og Kyrene, som kom til Antiokia og talte ogsaa til Grækerne og forkyndte Evangeliet om den Herre Jesus.
But some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they were entered into Antioch, spoke also to the Greeks, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Og Herrens Haand var med dem, og et stort Antal blev troende og omvendte sig til Herren.
And the hand of the Lord was with them: and a great number believing, were converted to the Lord.
22 Men Rygtet om dem kom Menigheden i Jerusalem for Øre, og de sendte Barnabas ud til Antiokia.
And the tidings came to the ears of the church that was at Jerusalem, touching these things: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch.
23 Da han nu kom derhen og saa Guds Naade, glædede han sig og formanede alle til med Hjertets Forsæt at blive ved Herren.
Who, when he was come, and had seen the grace of God, rejoiced: and he exhorted them all with purpose of heart to continue in the Lord.
24 Thi han var en god Mand og fuld af den Helligaand og Tro. Og en stor Skare blev ført til Herren.
For he was a good man, and full of the Holy Ghost and of faith. And a great multitude was added to the Lord.
25 Men han drog ud til Tarsus for at opsøge Saulus; og da han fandt ham, førte han ham til Antiokia.
And Barnabas went to Tarsus to seek Saul: whom, when he had found, he brought to Antioch.
26 Og det skete, at de endog et helt Aar igennem færdedes sammen i Menigheden og lærte en stor Skare, og at Disciplene først i Antiokia bleve kaldte Kristne.
And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.
27 Men i disse Dage kom der Profeter ned fra Jerusalem til Antiokia.
And in these days there came prophets from Jerusalem to Antioch:
28 Og en af dem, ved Navn Agabus, stod op og tilkendegav ved Aanden, at der skulde komme en stor Hungersnød over hele Verden, hvilken ogsaa kom under Klaudius.
And one of them named Agabus, rising up, signified by the Spirit, that there should be a great famine over the whole world, which came to pass under Claudius.
29 Men Disciplene besluttede at sende, hver efter sin Evne, noget til Hjælp for Brødrene, som boede i Judæa;
And the disciples, every man according to his ability, purposed to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judea:
30 hvilket de ogsaa gjorde, og de sendte det til de Ældste ved Barnabas's og Saulus's Haand.
Which also they did, sending it to the ancients, by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
