Apostelenes gerninger 21
1 Men da vi havde revet os løs fra dem og vare afsejlede, droge vi lige til Kos, og den næste Dag til Rodus og derfra til Patara.
And we separated from them, and proceeded in a straight course to the island of Coos: and the next day, we reached Rhodes, and from there Patara.
2 Og da vi fandt et Skib, som skulde gaa lige til Fønikien, gik vi om Bord og afsejlede.
And we found there a ship going to Phenicia; and we entered it, and proceeded on.
3 Men da vi havde faaet Kypern i Sigte og vare komne den forbi til venstre for os, sejlede vi til Syrien og landede i Tyrus; thi der skulde Skibet losse sin Ladning.
And we came up with the island of Cyprus, and leaving it on the left we came to Syria; and from there we went to Tyre, for there the ship was to discharge her cargo.
4 Og vi opsøgte Disciplene og bleve der syv Dage; disse sagde ved Aanden til Paulus, at han ikke skulde drage op til Jerusalem.
And, as we found disciples there, we tarried with them seven days: and they, by the Spirit, told Paul not to go to Jerusalem.
5 Men da vi havde tilendebragt disse Dage, droge vi derfra og rejste videre, idet de alle, med Hustruer og Børn, ledsagede os uden for Byen; og efter at have knælet paa Strandbredden og holdt Bøn
And after those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all clung to us, they and their wives and their children, until we were without the city; and they fell on their knees by the seaside, and prayed.
6 toge vi Afsked med hverandre; og vi gik om Bord i Skibet, men de vendte tilbage til deres Hjem.
And we kissed one another: and we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their homes.
7 Men vi fuldendte Sejladsen og kom fra Tyrus til Ptolemais, og vi hilste paa Brødrene og bleve een Dag hos dem.
And we sailed from Tyre, and arrived at the city Acco; and we saluted the brethren there, and stopped with them one day.
8 Og den følgende Dag droge vi derfra og kom til Kæsarea, og vi gik ind i Evangelisten Filips Hus, han, som var en af de syv, og bleve hos ham.
And the next day, we departed and came to Cesarea; and we went in and put up in the house of Philip the Evangelist, who was one of the seven.
9 Men denne havde fire ugifte Døtre, som profeterede.
He had four virgin daughters, who were prophetesses.
10 Men da vi bleve der flere Dage, kom der en Profet ned fra Judæa ved Navn Agabus.
And as we were there many days, a certain prophet came down from Judaea, whose name was Agabus.
11 Og han kom til os og tog Paulus's Bælte og bandt sine egne Fødder og Hænder og sagde: „Dette siger den Helligaand: Den Mand, hvem dette Bælte tilhører, skulle Jøderne binde saaledes i Jerusalem og overgive i Hedningers Hænder.‟
And he came in to us, and took the girdle of Paul's loins, and bound his own feet and hands, and said: Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So will the Jews in Jerusalem bind the man, who owns this girdle; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Men da vi hørte dette, bade saavel vi som de der paa Stedet ham om ikke at drage op til Jerusalem.
And when we heard these words, we and the residents of the place begged of him, that he would not go to Jerusalem.
13 Da svarede Paulus: „Hvad gøre I, at I græde og gøre mit Hjerte modløst? thi jeg er rede til ikke alene at bindes, men ogsaa at dø i Jerusalem for den Herres Jesu Navns Skyld.‟
Then Paul answered and said: What do ye, weeping and crushing my heart? For I am prepared, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, for the name of our Lord Jesus Messiah.
14 Da han nu ikke vilde lade sig overtale, bleve vi stille og sagde: „Herrens Villie ske!‟
And as he was not to be persuaded by us, we desisted; and we said: Let the pleasure of our Lord take place.
15 Men efter disse Dage gjorde vi os rede og droge op til Jerusalem.
And after those days, we prepared ourselves and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Og ogsaa nogle af Disciplene fra Kæsarea rejste med os og bragte os til Mnason, en Mand fra Kypern, en gammel Discipel, hos hvem vi skulde have Herberge.
And some disciples of Caesarea went along with us, taking with them a brother from among the earlier disciples, whose name was Mnason, and who was from Cyprus; that he might entertain us at his house.
17 Da vi nu kom til Jerusalem, modtoge Brødrene os med Glæde.
And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us joyfully.
18 Og Dagen efter gik Paulus ind med os til Jakob, og alle de Ældste kom derhen.
And the next day, with Paul, we went unto James, when all the Elders were with him.
19 Og da han havde hilst paa dem, fortalte han Stykke for Stykke, hvad Gud havde gjort iblandt Hedningerne ved hans Tjeneste.
And we gave them salutation: and Paul narrated to them, with particularity what God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Men da de hørte dette, priste de Gud, og de sagde til ham: „Broder! du ser, hvor mange Tusinder der er af Jøderne, som have antaget Troen, og de ere alle nidkære for Loven.
And when they heard it they glorified God. And they said to him: Our brother, Thou seest how many myriads there are in Judaea who have believed: and these are all zealous for the law.
21 Men de have hørt om dig, at du lærer alle Jøderne ude iblandt Hedningerne at falde fra Moses og siger, at de ikke skulle omskære Børnene, ej heller vandre efter Skikkene.
And it hath been told them, of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews that are among the Gentiles to depart from Moses, by telling them not to circumcise their children, and not to observe the rites of the law.
22 Hvad er der da at gøre? Der maa sikkert komme mange Mennesker sammen; thi de ville faa at høre, at du er kommen.
Now, because they have heard that thou hast arrived here,
23 Gør derfor dette, som vi sige dig: Vi have her fire Mænd, som have et Løfte paa sig.
do thou what we tell thee. We have four men, who have vowed to purify themselves.
24 Tag dem med dig, og rens dig sammen med dem, og gør Omkostningen for dem, for at de kunne lade deres Hoved rage; saa ville alle erkende, at det, som de have hørt om dig, ikke har noget paa sig, men at du ogsaa selv vandrer saaledes, at du holder Loven.
Take them, and go and purify thyself with them, and pay the expenses along with them, as they shall shave their heads; that every one may know, that what is said against thee is false, and that thou fulfillest and observest the law.
25 Men om de Hedninger, som ere blevne troende, have vi udsendt en Skrivelse med den Afgørelse, at de intet saadant skulle holde, men kun vogte sig for Afgudsofferkød og Blod og det kvalte og Utugt.‟
As to those of the Gentiles who have believed, we have written, that they should keep themselves from an idol's sacrifice, and from whoredom, and from what is strangled, and from blood.
26 Da tog Paulus Mændene med sig næste Dag, og efter at have renset sig sammen med dem gik han ind i Helligdommen og anmeldte Renselsesdagenes Udløb, da Offeret blev bragt for hver enkelt af dem.
Then Paul took those men, on the following day, and was purified with them; and he entered and went into the temple, manifesting to them the completion of the days of the purification, up to the presentation of the offering by each of them.
27 Men da de syv Dage næsten vare til Ende, satte Jøderne fra Asien, som havde set ham i Helligdommen, hele Mængden i Oprør og lagde Haand paa ham
And when the seventh day arrived, the Jews from Asia saw him in the temple: and they excited all the people against him, and laid hands on him,
28 og raabte: „I israelitiske Mænd, kommer til Hjælp! Denne er det Menneske, som alle Vegne lærer alle imod Folket og Loven og dette Sted; og tilmed har han ogsaa ført Grækere ind i Helligdommen og gjort dette hellige Sted urent; ‟
crying out and saying: Men, sons of Israel; help. This is the man, who teacheth in every place, against our people, and against the law, and against this place; and he hath also brought Gentiles into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
29 de havde nemlig i Forvejen set Efesieren Trofimus i Staden sammen med ham, og ham mente de, at Paulus havde ført ind i Helligdommen.
For they had previously seen with him in the city Trophimus the Ephesian; and they supposed, that he had entered the temple with Paul.
30 Og hele Staden kom i Bevægelse, og Folket stimlede sammen; og de grebe Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Helligdommen, og straks bleve Dørene lukkede.
And the whole city was in commotion; and all the people assembled together, and laid hold of Paul, and dragged him out of the temple: and instantly the gates were closed.
31 Og da de søgte at slaa ham ihjel, gik der Melding op til Krigsøversten for Vagtafdelingen, at hele Jerusalem var i Oprør.
And while the multitude were seeking to kill him, it was reported to the Chiliarch of the cohort, that the whole city was in uproar.
32 Han tog straks Stridsmænd og Høvedsmænd med sig og ilede ned imod dem. Men da de saa Krigsøversten og Stridsmændene, holdt de op at slaa Paulus.
And immediately he took a centurion and many soldiers, and they ran upon them. And when they saw the Chiliarch and the soldiers, they desisted from beating Paul.
33 Da traadte Krigsøversten til, greb ham og befalede, at han skulde bindes med to Lænker, og han spurgte, hvem han var, og hvad han havde gjort.
And the Chiliarch came up to him, and seized him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains: and he inquired respecting him, who he was, and what he had done.
34 Da raabte nogle i Skaren eet, andre et andet til ham; men da han ikke kunde faa noget paalideligt at vide paa Grund af Larmen, befalede han at føre ham ind i Borgen.
And persons from the throng vociferated against him this thing and that. And, because he could not, on account of their clamor, learn what the truth was, he commanded to conduct him to the castle.
35 Men da han kom paa Trappen, gik det saaledes, at han maatte bæres af Stridsmændene paa Grund af Skarens Voldsomhed;
And when Paul came to the stairs, the soldiers bore him along, because of the violence of the people.
36 thi Folkemængden fulgte efter og raabte: „Bort med ham!‟
For a great many people followed after him, and cried out, saying: Away with him.
37 Og da Paulus var ved at blive ført ind i Borgen, siger han til Krigsøversten: „Er det mig tilladt at sige noget til dig?‟ Men han sagde: „Forstaar du Græsk?
And when he came near to entering the castle, Paul said to the Chiliarch: Wilt thou permit me to speak with thee? And he said to him: Dost thou know Greek?
38 Er du da ikke den Ægypter, som for nogen Tid siden gjorde Oprør og førte de fire Tusinde Stimænd ud i Ørkenen?‟
Art not thou that Egyptian who, before these days, madest insurrection, and leadest out into the desert four thousand men, doers of evil?
39 Men Paulus sagde: „Jeg er en jødisk Mand fra Tarsus, Borger i en ikke ubekendt By i Kilikien. Men jeg beder dig, tilsted mig at tale til Folket!‟
Paul said to him: I am a Jew, a man of Tarsus, a noted city in Cilicia, in which I was born: I pray thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
40 Og da han tilstedte det, stod Paulus frem paa Trappen og slog til Lyd med Haanden for Folket. Men da der var blevet dyb Tavshed, tiltalte han dem i det hebraiske Sprog og sagde:
And when he permitted him, Paul stood upon the stairs, and waved to them his hand; and when they were quiet, he addressed them in Hebrew, and said to them:
