Apostelenes gerninger 11
1 Men Apostlene og de Brødre, som vare rundt om i Judæa, hørte, at ogsaa Hedningerne havde modtaget Guds Ord.
Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the non-Jewish people had also received the word of God.
2 Og da Peter kom op til Jerusalem, tvistedes de af Omskærelsen med ham og sagde:
When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,
3 „Du er gaaet ind til uomskaarne Mænd og har spist med dem.‟
saying, "You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them."
4 Men Peter begyndte og forklarede dem det i Sammenhæng og sagde:
But Peter began, and explained to them 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 Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.
6 Jeg stirrede paa den og betragtede den og saa da Jordens firføddede Dyr og vilde Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.
When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four-footed animals of the earth, wild animals, crawling creatures, and birds of the sky.
7 Og jeg hørte ogsaa en Røst, som sagde til mig: Staa op, Peter, slagt og spis!
I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Rise, Peter, kill and eat.'
8 Men jeg sagde: Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig kom noget vanhelligt eller urent i min Mund.
But I said, 'Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.'
9 Men en Røst svarede anden Gang fra Himmelen: Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!
But a voice answered the second time out of heaven, 'What God has cleansed, do not call unclean.'
10 Og dette skete tre Gange; saa blev det igen alt sammen draget op til Himmelen.
This was done three times, and all were drawn 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 look, immediately three men stood before the house where we were, having been sent from Caesarea to me.
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.
The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, 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!
He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him, 'Send to Joppa, and get Simon, whose surname is Peter,
14 Han skal tale Ord til dig, ved hvilke du og hele dit Hus skal frelses.
who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.'
15 Men idet jeg begyndte at tale, faldt den Helligaand paa dem ligesom ogsaa paa os i Begyndelsen.
As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.
16 Og jeg kom Herrens Ord i Hu, hvorledes han sagde: Johannes døbte med Vand, men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand.
I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, 'John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.'
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 to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I 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.‟
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, "Then God has also granted to the non-Jews repentance to 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.
They therefore who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to 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 there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Greeks, proclaiming the good news of the Lord Jesus.
21 Og Herrens Haand var med dem, og et stort Antal blev troende og omvendte sig til Herren.
The hand of the Lord was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Men Rygtet om dem kom Menigheden i Jerusalem for Øre, og de sendte Barnabas ud til Antiokia.
And the report concerning them was heard by the church in Jerusalem, so they sent Barnabas to 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 had come, and had seen the grace of God, was glad. He exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they should remain true to 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 Spirit and of faith, and many people were 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.
Barnabas went out to Tarsus to look for Saul.
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.
When he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. It happened, that for a whole year they were gathered together with the church, and taught many people. The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Men i disse Dage kom der Profeter ned fra Jerusalem til Antiokia.
Now in these days, prophets came down 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.
One of them named Agabus stood up, and indicated by the Spirit that there should be a great famine all over the world, which also happened in the days of Claudius.
29 Men Disciplene besluttede at sende, hver efter sin Evne, noget til Hjælp for Brødrene, som boede i Judæa;
As any of the disciples had plenty, each determined to send relief to the brothers who lived in Judea;
30 hvilket de ogsaa gjorde, og de sendte det til de Ældste ved Barnabas's og Saulus's Haand.
which they also did, sending it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
