Apostelenes gerninger 14
1 Men det skete i Ikonium, at de sammen gik ind i Jødernes Synagoge og talte saaledes, at en stor Mængde, baade af Jøder og Grækere, troede.
And it came to pass in Iconium, that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake, that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
2 Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
But the Jews that were disobedient stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and made them evil affected against the brethren.
3 De opholdt sig nu en Tid lang der og talte med Frimodighed i Herren, som gav sin Naades Ord Vidnesbyrd, idet han lod Tegn og Undere ske ved deres Hænder.
Long time therefore they tarried [there] speaking boldly in the Lord, which bare witness unto the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
But the multitude of the city was divided; and part held with the Jews, and part with the apostles.
5 Men da der blev et Opløb, baade af Hedningerne og Jøderne med samt deres Raadsherrer, for at mishandle og stene dem,
And when there was made an onset both of the Gentiles and of the Jews with their rulers, to entreat them shamefully, and to stone them,
6 og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
they became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the region round about:
7 og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
and there they preached the gospel.
8 Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gaaet.
And at Lystra there sat a certain man, impotent in his feet, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
9 Han hørte Paulus tale; og da denne fæstede Øjet paa ham og saa, at han havde Tro til at frelses, sagde han med høj Røst:
The same heard Paul speaking: who, fastening his eyes upon him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
10 „Staa ret op paa dine Fødder!‟ Og han sprang op og gik omkring.
said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped up and walked.
11 Men da Skarerne saa, hvad Paulus havde gjort, opløftede de deres Røst og sagde paa Lykaonisk: „Guderne ere i menneskelig Skikkelse stegne ned til os.‟
And when the multitudes saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.
12 Og de kaldte Barnabas Zeus, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
And they called Barnabas, Jupiter; and Paul, Mercury, because he was the chief speaker.
13 Men Præsten ved Zeustemplet, som var uden for Byen, bragte Tyre og Kranse hen til Portene og vilde ofre tillige med Skarerne.
And the priest of Jupiter whose [temple] was before the city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the multitudes.
14 Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
But when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they rent their garments, and sprang forth among the multitude, crying out
15 raabte og sagde: „I Mænd! hvorfor gøre I dette? Vi ere ogsaa Mennesker, lige Kaar undergivne med eder, og vi forkynde eder Evangeliet om at vende om fra disse tomme Ting til den levende Gud, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alt, hvad der er i dem;
and saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is:
16 han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.
17 ihvorvel han ikke lod sig selv være uden Vidnesbyrd, idet han gjorde godt og gav eder Regn og frugtbare Tider fra Himmelen og mættede eders Hjerter med Føde og Glæde.‟
And yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you from heaven rains and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 Og det var med Nød og næppe, at de ved at sige dette afholdt Skarerne fra at ofre til dem.
And with these sayings scarce restrained they the multitudes from doing sacrifice unto them.
19 Men der kom Jøder til fra Antiokia og Ikonium, og de overtalte Skarerne og stenede Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Byen i den Tro, at han var død.
But there came Jews thither from Antioch and Iconium: and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul, and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was dead.
20 Men da Disciplene omringede ham, stod han op og gik ind i Byen. Og den næste Dag gik han med Barnabas bort til Derbe.
But as the disciples stood round about him, he rose up, and entered into the city: and on the morrow he went forth with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Og da de havde forkyndt Evangeliet i denne By og vundet mange Disciple, vendte de tilbage til Lystra og Ikonium og Antiokia
And when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch,
22 og styrkede Disciplenes Sjæle og paamindede dem om at blive i Troen og om, at vi maa igennem mange Trængsler indgaa i Guds Rige.
confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
23 Men efter at de i hver Menighed havde udvalgt Ældste for dem, overgave de dem under Bøn og Faste til Herren, hvem de havde givet deres Tro.
And when they had appointed for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
And they passed through Pisidia, and came to Pamphylia.
25 Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
And when they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia;
26 Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Naade til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
and thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Men da de kom derhen og havde forsamlet Menigheden, forkyndte de, hvor store Ting Gud havde gjort med dem, og at han havde aabnet en Troens Dør for Hedningerne.
And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all things that God had done with them, and how that he had opened a door of faith unto the Gentiles.
28 Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
And they tarried no little time with the disciples.
