Apostelenes gerninger 18
1 Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth.
Now after these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
2 Der traf han en Jøde ved Navn Akvila, født i Pontus, som nylig var kommen fra Italien med sin Hustru Priskilla, fordi Klaudius havde befalet, at alle Jøderne skulde forlade Rom. Til disse gik han.
And encountering a certain Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla (because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome), he joined them;
3 Og efterdi han øvede det samme Haandværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Haandværk.
and because he practiced the same trade, he stayed on with them and worked (their trade was tentmaker).
4 Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen paa hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
Every Sabbath in the synagogue he would reason with both Jews and Greeks, trying to persuade them.
5 Men da Silas og Timotheus kom ned fra Makedonien, var Paulus helt optagen af at tale og vidnede for Jøderne, at Jesus er Kristus.
But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was constrained by the Spirit, solemnly insisting to the Jews: Jesus is the Christ.
6 Men da de stode imod og spottede, rystede han Støvet af sine Klæder og sagde til dem: „Eders Blod komme over eders Hoved! Jeg er ren; herefter vil jeg gaa til Hedningerne.‟
But since they kept contradicting and blaspheming, he shook his clothes and said to them: “Your blood be upon your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
7 Og han gik bort derfra og gik ind til en Mand ved Navn Justus, som frygtede Gud, og hvis Hus laa ved Siden af Synagogen.
So he moved from there into the house of a man named Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next door to the synagogue.
8 Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede paa Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.
Then Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed on the Lord with all his household; and as they were hearing, many of the Corinthians were believing and being baptized.
9 Men Herren sagde til Paulus i et Syn om Natten: „Frygt ikke, men tal og ti ikke,
Now the Lord said to Paul by a vision at night: “Do not be afraid; rather speak and do not keep silent,
10 eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Haand paa dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By.‟
because I am with you and no one will attack you to harm you, because I have many people in this city.”
11 Og han slog sig ned der et Aar og seks Maaneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
So he stayed on for a year and six months, teaching the Word of God among them.
12 Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
Now while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
13 „Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven.‟
saying, “This fellow persuades the people to worship God contrary to the law.”
14 Og da Paulus vilde oplade Munden, sagde Gallio til Jøderne: „Dersom det var nogen Uret eller Misgerning, I Jøder! vilde jeg, som billigt var, taalmodigt høre paa eder.
But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews: “If there really was some misdeed or wicked crime, O Jews, there would be reason for me to bear with you;
15 Men er det Stridsspørgsmaal om Lære og Navne og om den Lov, som I have, da ser selv dertil; thi jeg vil ikke være Dommer over disse Ting.‟
but since it is an issue over a word and names and your own law, see to it yourselves; because I refuse to be a judge of such matters.”
16 Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
And he drove them from the judgment seat.
17 Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But none of this was a delay to Gallio.
18 Men Paulus blev der endnu i mange Dage; derefter tog han Afsked med Brødrene og sejlede bort til Syrien og med ham Priskilla og Akvila, efter at han havde ladet sit Haar klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte paa sig.
Paul still remained there a good while, then took leave of the brothers and sailed for Syria, accompanied by Priscilla and Aquila (he had shaved his head in Cenchrea, because he had a vow).
19 Men de kom til Efesus; og der lod han hine blive tilbage; men han selv gik ind i Synagogen og samtalede med Jøderne.
He came to Ephesus and left them there (after having entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews).
20 Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;
When they asked him to stay a longer time with them, he did not consent;
21 men han tog Afsked og sagde: „[Jeg maa endelig holde denne forestaaende Højtid i Jerusalem; men] jeg vil atter vende tilbage til eder, om Gud vil.‟ Og han sejlede ud fra Efesus
rather he took leave of them saying, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem; but I will return again to you, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
22 og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste paa Menigheden og drog saa ned til Antiokia.
When he had landed at Caesarea, and gone up and greeted the church [in Jerusalem], he returned to Antioch.
23 Og da han havde opholdt sig der nogen Tid, drog han bort og rejste fra Sted til Sted igennem det galatiske Land og Frygien og styrkede alle Disciplene.
After spending some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia in order, strengthening all the disciples.
24 Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.
Now a certain Jew named Apollos, a native of Alexandria, an eloquent man, mighty in the Scriptures, arrived in Ephesus.
25 Denne var undervist om Herrens Vej, og brændende i Aanden talte og lærte han grundigt om Jesus, skønt han kun kendte Johannes's Daab.
This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and being fervent in the Spirit he was speaking and teaching accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Og han begyndte at tale frimodigt i Synagogen. Men da Priskilla og Akvila hørte ham, toge de ham til sig og udlagde ham Guds Vej nøjere.
So he began to speak boldly in the synagogue. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
27 Men da han vilde rejse videre til Akaja, skrev Brødrene til Disciplene og opmuntrede dem til at tage imod ham. Da han var kommen derhen, var han ved Guds Naade de troende til megen Nytte;
When he decided to go across into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to receive him; upon arriving he was a great help to those who had believed through the Grace;
28 thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
because he kept refuting the Jews vigorously, publicly, demonstrating Jesus to be the Christ, from the Scriptures.
