Apostelenes gerninger 19
1 Men det skete, medens Apollos var i Korinth, at Paulus efter at være dragen igennem de højereliggende Landsdele kom ned til Efesus
It happened that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having passed through the upper country, came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples.
2 og fandt nogle Disciple, og han sagde til dem: „Fik I den Helligaand, da I bleve troende?‟ Men de sagde til ham: „Vi have ikke engang hørt, at der er en Helligaand.‟
He said to them, "Did you receive the Rukha d'Qudsha when you believed?" They said to him, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Rukha d'Qudsha."
3 Og han sagde: „Hvortil bleve I da døbte?‟ Men de sagde: „Til Johannes's Daab.‟
He said, "Into what then were you baptized?" They said, "Into Yukhanan's baptism."
4 Da sagde Paulus: „Johannes døbte med Omvendelses-Daab, idet han sagde til Folket, at de skulde tro paa den, som kom efter ham, det er paa Jesus.‟
Paul said, "Yukhanan indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Yeshua."
5 Men da de hørte dette, lode de sig døbe til den Herres Jesu Navn.
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Yeshua.
6 Og da Paulus lagde Hænderne paa dem, kom den Helligaand over dem, og de talte i Tunger og profeterede.
When Paul had laid his hands on them, the Rukha d'Qudsha came on them, and they spoke with other tongues and prophesied.
7 Men de vare i det hele omtrent tolv Mænd.
They were about twelve men in all.
8 Og han gik ind i Synagogen og vidnede frimodigt i tre Maaneder, idet han holdt Samtaler og overbeviste om det, som hører til Guds Rige.
He entered into the synagogue, and spoke boldly for a period of three months, reasoning and persuading about the things concerning the Kingdom of God.
9 Men da nogle forhærdede sig og strede imod og over for Mængden talte ilde om Vejen, forlod han dem og skilte Disciplene fra dem og holdt daglig Samtaler i Tyrannus's Skole.
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the crowd, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
10 Men dette varede i to Aar, saa at alle, som boede i Asien, baade Jøder og Grækere, hørte Herrens Ord.
This continued for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Yeshua, both Jews and Greeks.
11 Og Gud gjorde usædvanlige kraftige Gerninger ved Paulus's Hænder,
God worked special miracles by the hands of Paul,
12 saa at man endog bragte Tørklæder og Bælter fra hans Legeme til de syge, og Sygdommene vege fra dem, og de onde Aander fore ud.
so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were carried away from his body to the sick, and the evil spirits went out.
13 Men ogsaa nogle af de omløbende jødiske Besværgere forsøgte at nævne den Herres Jesu Navn over dem, som havde de onde Aander, idet de sagde: „Jeg besværger eder ved den Jesus, som Paulus prædiker.‟
But some of the itinerant Jews, exorcists, took on themselves to invoke over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Yeshua, saying, "I adjure you by Yeshua whom Paul preaches."
14 Men de, som gjorde dette, vare syv Sønner af Skeuas, en jødisk Ypperstepræst.
There were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did this.
15 Men den onde Aand svarede og sagde til dem: „Jesus kender jeg, og om Paulus ved jeg; men I, hvem ere I?‟
The evil spirit answered, "Yeshua I know, and Paul I know, but who are you?"
16 Og det Menneske, i hvem den onde Aand var, sprang ind paa dem og overmandede dem begge og fik saadan Magt over dem, at de flygtede nøgne og saarede ud af Huset.
And the man in whom the evil spirit was, having leapt on them, having overpowered them all, prevailed against them so that they fled from that house naked and wounded.
17 Men dette blev vitterligt for alle dem, som boede i Efesus, baade Jøder og Grækere; og der faldt en Frygt over dem alle, og den Herres Jesu Navn blev ophøjet,
This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived at Ephesus. Fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Yeshua was magnified.
18 og mange af dem, som vare blevne troende, kom og bekendte og fortalte om deres Gerninger.
Many also of those who had believed came, confessing, and declaring their deeds.
19 Men mange af dem, som havde drevet Trolddom, bare deres Bøger sammen og opbrændte dem for alles Øjne; og man beregnede deres Værdi og fandt dem halvtredsindstyve Tusinde Sølvpenge værd.
Many of those who practiced magical arts brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. They counted the price of them, and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20 Saa kraftigt voksede Herrens Ord og fik Magt.
So the word of the Lord was growing and becoming mighty.
21 Men da dette var fuldbragt, satte Paulus sig for i Aanden, at han vilde rejse igennem Makedonien og Akaja og saa drage til Jerusalem, og han sagde: „Efter at jeg har været der, bør jeg ogsaa se Rom.‟
Now after these things had ended, Paul determined in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Urishlim, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."
22 Og han sendte to af dem, som gik ham til Haande, Timotheus og Erastus, til Makedonien; men selv blev han nogen Tid i Asien.
Having sent into Macedonia two of those who served him, Timothy and Erastus, he himself stayed in Asia for a while.
23 Men paa den Tid opstod der et ikke lidet Oprør i Anledning af Vejen.
About that time there arose no small stir concerning the Way.
24 Thi en Sølvsmed ved Navn Demetrius gjorde Artemistempler af Sølv og skaffede Kunstnerne ikke ringe Fortjeneste.
For a certain man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, brought no little business to the craftsmen,
25 Disse samlede han tillige med de med saadanne Ting sysselsatte Arbejdere og sagde: „I Mænd! I vide, at vi have vort Udkomme af dette Arbejde.
whom he gathered together, with the workmen of like occupation, and said, "Sirs, you know that by this business we have our wealth.
26 Og I se og høre, at ikke alene i Efesus, men næsten i hele Asien har denne Paulus ved sin Overtalelse vildledt en stor Mængde, idet han siger, at de ikke ere Guder, de, som gøres med Hænder.
You see and hear, that not at Ephesus alone, but almost throughout all Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, saying that they are no gods, that are made with hands.
27 Men der er ikke alene Fare for, at denne vor Haandtering skal komme i Foragt, men ogsaa for, at den store Gudinde Artemis's Helligdom skal blive agtet for intet, og at den Gudindes Majestæt, hvem hele Asien og Jorderige dyrker, skal blive krænket.‟
Not only is there danger that this our trade come into disrepute; but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis will be counted as nothing, and that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worships."
28 Men da de hørte dette, bleve de fulde af Vrede og raabte og sagde: „Stor er Efesiernes Artemis!‟
When they heard this they were filled with anger, and began to shout, saying, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
29 Og Byen kom i fuldt Oprør, og de stormede endrægtigt til Teatret og reve Makedonierne Kajus og Aristarkus, Paulus's Rejsefæller, med sig.
The city was filled with confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, having seized Gaius and Aristarchus, Macedonians, Paul's companions in travel.
30 Men da Paulus vilde gaa ind iblandt Folkemængden, tilstedte Disciplene ham det ikke.
When Paul wanted to enter in to the people, the disciples did not allow him.
31 Men ogsaa nogle af Asiarkerne, som vare hans Venner, sendte Bud til ham og formanede ham til ikke at vove sig hen til Teatret.
And also some of the Asiarchs, who were his friends, sent to him and urged him not to venture into the theater.
32 Da skrege nogle eet, andre et andet; thi Forsamlingen var i Forvirring, og de fleste vidste ikke, af hvad Aarsag de vare komne sammen.
Some therefore shouted one thing, and some another, for the assembly was in confusion. Most of them did not know why they had come together.
33 Men de trak Aleksander, hvem Jøderne skøde frem, ud af Skaren; men Aleksander slog til Lyd med Haanden og vilde holde en Forsvarstale til Folket.
They brought Alexandros out of the crowd, the Jews putting him forward. Alexandros beckoned with his hand, and would have made a defense to the people.
34 Men da de fik at vide, at han var en Jøde, raabte de alle med een Røst i omtrent to Timer: „Stor er Efesiernes Artemis!‟
But when they perceived that he was a Jew, all with one voice for a time of about two hours shouted, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians."
35 Men Byskriveren fik Skaren beroliget og sagde: „I Mænd i Efesus! hvilket Menneske er der vel, som ikke ved, at Efesiernes By er Tempelværge for den store Artemis og det himmelfaldne Billede?
When the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, "You men of Ephesus, is there anyone who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the image which fell down from Zeus?
36 Naar altsaa dette er uimodsigeligt, bør I være rolige og ikke foretage eder noget fremfusende.
Seeing then that these things cannot be denied, you ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rash.
37 Thi I have ført disse Mænd hid, som hverken ere Tempelranere eller bespotte eders Gudinde.
For you have brought these men here, who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.
38 Dersom nu Demetrius og hans Kunstnere have Klage imod nogen, da holdes der Tingdage, og der er Statholdere; lad dem kalde hinanden for Retten!
If therefore Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a matter against anyone, the courts are open, and there are proconsuls. Let them press charges against one another.
39 Men have I noget Forlangende om andre Sager, saa vil det blive afgjort i den lovlige Forsamling.
But if you seek anything further, it will be settled in the regular assembly.
40 Vi staa jo endog i Fare for at anklages for Oprør for, hvad der i Dag er sket, da der ingen Aarsag er dertil; herfor, for dette Opløb, ville vi ikke kunne gøre Regnskab.‟
For indeed we are in danger of being accused concerning this day's riot, there being no cause. Concerning it, we would not be able to give an account of this commotion."
41 Og da han havde sagt dette, lod han Forsamlingen fare.
When he had thus spoken, he dismissed the assembly.
