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.
At Iconium the Apostles went together to the Jewish synagogue and preached, with the result that a great number both of Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
But the Jews who had refused obedience stirred up the Gentiles and embittered their minds 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.
Yet Paul and Barnabas remained there for a considerable time, speaking freely and relying on the Lord, while He bore witness to the Message of His grace by permitting signs and marvels to be done by them.
4 Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
At length the people of the city split into parties, some siding with the Jews and some 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 a hostile movement was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with the sanction of their magistrates, to maltreat and stone them,
6 og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
the Apostles, having become aware of it, made their escape into the Lycaonian towns of Lystra and Derbe, and the neighbouring country.
7 og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
And there they continued to tell the Good News.
8 Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gaaet.
Now a man who had no power in his feet used to sit in the streets of Lystra. He had been lame from his birth and had never 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:
After this man had listened to one of Paul's sermons, the Apostle, looking steadily at him and perceiving that he had faith to be cured,
10 „Staa ret op paa dine Fødder!‟ Og han sprang op og gik omkring.
said in a loud voice, "Stand upright upon your feet!"
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.‟
So he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, seeing what Paul had done, rent the air with their shouts in the Lycaonian language, saying, "The gods have assumed human form and have come down to us."
12 Og de kaldte Barnabas Zeus, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
They called Barnabas 'Zeus,' and Paul, as being the principal speaker, 'Hermes.'
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 Zeus--the temple of Zeus being at the entrance to the city--brought bullocks and garlands to the gates, and in company with the crowd was intending to offer sacrifices to them.
14 Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
But the Apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it; and tearing their clothes they rushed out into the middle of the crowd, exclaiming, "Sirs, why are you doing all this?
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;
We also are but men, with natures kindred to your own; and we bring you the Good News that you are to turn from these unreal things, to worship the ever-living God, the Creator of earth and sky and sea and of everything that is in them.
16 han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
In times gone by He allowed all the nations to go 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 by His beneficence He has not left His existence unattested--His beneficence, I mean, in sending you rain from Heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and joyfulness."
18 Og det var med Nød og næppe, at de ved at sige dette afholdt Skarerne fra at ofre til dem.
Even with words like these they had difficulty in preventing the thronging crowd from offering sacrifices to 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 now a party of Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and, having won over the crowd, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the town, believing him to be 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.
When, however, the disciples had collected round him, he rose and went back into the town. The next day he went 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, after proclaiming the Good News to the people there and gaining a large number of converts, they retraced their steps to Lystra, Iconium, and 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.
Everywhere they strengthened the disciples by encouraging them to hold fast to the faith, and warned them saying, "It is through many afflictions that we must make our way 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 in every Church, after prayer and fasting, they selected Elders by show of hands, and commended them to the Lord on whom their faith rested.
24 Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
Then passing through Pisidia they came into Pamphylia;
25 Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
and after telling the Message at Perga they came down to Attaleia.
26 Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Naade til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
Thence they sailed to Antioch, where they had previously been commended to the grace of God in connexion with the work which they had now completed.
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.
Upon their arrival they called the Church together and proceeded to report in detail all that God, working with them, had done, and how He had opened for the Gentiles the door of faith.
28 Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
And they remained a considerable time in Antioch with the disciples.
