Apostelenes gerninger 12
1 Paa den Tid lagde Kong Herodes Haand paa nogle af Menigheden for at mishandle dem,
Now about that time, Herod the king stretched out his hands to oppress some of the church.
2 og Jakob, Johannes's Broder, lod han henrette med Sværd.
He killed Yaquv, the brother of Yukhanan, with the sword.
3 Og da han saa, at det behagede Jøderne, gik han videre og lod ogsaa Peter gribe. Det var de usyrede Brøds Dage.
When he saw that it pleased the Jewish people, he proceeded to seize Kipha also. This was during the days of unleavened bread.
4 Og da han havde grebet ham, satte han ham i Fængsel og overgav ham til at bevogtes af fire Vagtskifter, hvert paa fire Stridsmænd, da han efter Paasken vilde føre ham frem for Folket.
When he had arrested him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four squads of four soldiers each to guard him, intending to bring him out to the people after the Passover.
5 Saa blev da Peter bevogtet i Fængselet; men der blev af Menigheden holdt inderlig Bøn til Gud for ham.
Kipha therefore was kept in the prison, but constant prayer was made by the church to God for him.
6 Men da Herodes vilde til at føre ham frem, sov Peter den Nat imellem to Stridsmænd, bunden med to Lænker, og Vagter foran Døren bevogtede Fængselet.
The same night when Herod was about to bring him out, Kipha was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains. Guards in front of the door kept the prison.
7 Og se, en Herrens Engel stod der, og et Lys straalede i Fangerummet, og han slog Peter i Siden og vækkede ham og sagde: „Staa op i Hast!‟ og Lænkerne faldt ham af Hænderne.
And look, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Kipha on the side, and woke him up, saying, "Stand up quickly." His chains fell off from his hands.
8 Og Engelen sagde til ham: „Bind op om dig, og bind dine Sandaler paa!‟ Og han gjorde saa. Og han siger til ham: „Kast din Kappe om dig, og følg mig!‟
The angel said to him, "Get dressed and put on your sandals." He did so. He said to him, "Put on your cloak, and follow me."
9 Og han gik ud og fulgte ham, og han vidste ikke, at det, som skete ved Engelen, var virkeligt, men mente, at han saa et Syn.
And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he saw a vision.
10 Men de gik igennem den første og den anden Vagt og kom til den Jernport, som førte ud til Staden; denne aabnede sig for dem af sig selv, og de kom ud og gik en Gade frem, og straks skiltes Engelen fra ham.
When they were past the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went out, and went down one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.
11 Og da Peter kom til sig selv, sagde han: „Nu ved jeg i Sandhed, at Herren udsendte sin Engel og udfriede mig af Herodes's Haand og al det jødiske Folks Forventning.‟
When Kipha had come to himself, he said, "Now I truly know that the Lord has sent out his angel and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from everything the Jewish people were expecting."
12 Og da han havde besindet sig, gik han til Marias Hus, hun, som var Moder til Johannes, med Tilnavn Markus, hvor mange vare forsamlede og bade.
Thinking about that, he came to the house of Maryam, the mother of Yukhanan whose surname was Markos, where many were gathered together and were praying.
13 Men da han bankede paa Døren til Portrummet, kom der en Pige ved Navn Rode for at høre efter.
And when Kipha knocked at the door of the gate, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer.
14 Og da hun kendte Peters Røst, lod hun af Glæde være at aabne Porten, men løb ind og forkyndte dem, at Peter stod uden for Porten.
When she recognized Kipha's voice, she did not open the gate for joy, but ran in, and reported that Kipha was standing in front of the gate.
15 Da sagde de til hende: „Du raser.‟ Men hun stod fast paa, at det var saaledes. Men de sagde: „Det er hans Engel.‟
They said to her, "You are crazy." But she insisted that it was so. They said, "It is his angel."
16 Men Peter blev ved at banke paa, og da de lukkede op, saa de ham og bleve forbavsede.
But Kipha continued knocking. When they had opened, they saw him, and were amazed.
17 Da vinkede han til dem med Haanden, at de skulde tie, og fortalte dem, hvorledes Herren havde ført ham ud af Fængselet, og han sagde: „Forkynder Jakob og Brødrene dette!‟ Og han gik ud og drog til et andet Sted.
But he, beckoning to them with his hand to be silent, declared to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, "Tell these things to Yaquv, and to the brothers." Then he departed, and went to another place.
18 Men da det blev Dag, var der ikke liden Uro iblandt Stridsmændene over, hvad der var blevet af Peter.
Now as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Kipha.
19 Men da Herodes søgte ham og ikke fandt ham, forhørte han Vagten og befalede, at de skulde henrettes. Og han drog ned fra Judæa til Kæsarea og opholdt sig der.
When Herod had sought for him, and did not find him, he examined the guards, and commanded that they should be put to death. He went down from Yehuda to Qesarya, and stayed there.
20 Men han laa i Strid med Tyrierne og Sidonierne. Men de kom endrægtigt til ham og fik Blastus, Kongens Kammerherre, paa deres Side og bade om Fred, fordi deres Land fik Næringsmidler tilførte fra Kongens Land.
Now Herod was very angry with the people of Tsur and Tsaidan. They came with one accord to him, and, having made Blastus, the king's personal aide, their friend, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king's country for food.
21 Men paa en fastsat Dag iførte Herodes sig en Kongedragt og satte sig paa Tronen og holdt en Tale til dem.
On an appointed day, Herod dressed himself in royal clothing, and sat on the throne, and gave a speech to them.
22 Og Folket raabte til ham: „Det er Guds Røst og ikke et Menneskes.‟
But the crowd shouted, "The voice of a god, and not of a man."
23 Men straks slog en Herrens Engel ham, fordi han ikke gav Gud Æren; og han blev fortæret af Orme og udaandede.
Immediately an angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 Men Guds Ord havde Fremgang og udbredtes.
But the word of God grew and multiplied.
25 Og Barnabas og Saulus vendte tilbage fra Jerusalem efter at have fuldført deres Ærinde, og de havde Johannes, med Tilnavn Markus, med sig.
Bar-Naba and Shaul returned to Urishlim, when they had fulfilled their service, also taking with them Yukhanan whose surname was Markos.
