Apostelenes gerninger 4
1 Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
And while they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
being indignant that they taught the people, and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Og de lagde Haand paa dem og satte dem i Forvaring til den følgende Dag; thi det var allerede Aften.
And they laid hands upon them, and put them in prison until the next day; for it was now evening.
4 Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet paa Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
Many however of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men became five thousand.
5 Men det skete Dagen derefter, at deres Raadsherrer og Ældste og skriftkloge forsamlede sig i Jerusalem,
And it came to pass on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
6 ligesaa Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
and Annas the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high-priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.
7 Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: „Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?‟
And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power, or by what name, did ye do this?
8 Da sagde Peter, fyldt med den Helligaand, til dem: „I Folkets Raadsherrer og Ældste!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel!
9 Naar vi i Dag forhøres angaaende en Velgerning imod en vanfør Mand, om hvorved han er bleven helbredet,
If we are this day examined in respect to a good deed done to a cripple, by what means he hath been restored,
10 da skal det være eder alle og hele Israels Folk vitterligt, at ved Jesu Kristi Nazaræerens Navn, hvem I have korsfæstet, hvem Gud har oprejst fra de døde, ved dette Navn er det, at denne staar rask her for eders Øjne.
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, —by him doth this man stand here before you sound.
11 Han er den Sten, som blev agtet for intet af eder, I Bygningsmænd, men som er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten.
This is the stone which was set at nought by you the builders, which is become a cornerstone.
12 Og der er ikke Frelse i nogen anden; thi der er ikke noget andet Navn under Himmelen, givet iblandt Mennesker, ved hvilket vi skulle blive frelste.‟
And there is salvation in no other; for there is not another name under heaven, that hath been given among men, by which we must be saved.
13 Men da de saa Peters og Johannes's Frimodighed og kunde mærke, at de vare ulærde Mænd og Lægfolk, forundrede de sig, og de kendte dem, at de havde været med Jesus.
And when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and common men, they wondered; and they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
14 Og da de saa Manden, som var helbredet, staa hos dem, havde de intet at sige derimod.
And seeing the man that had been cured standing with them, they could say nothing in reply.
15 Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Raadet og raadførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 „Hvad skulle vi gøre med disse Mennesker? thi at et vitterligt Tegn er sket ved dem, det er aabenbart for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, og vi kunne ikke nægte det.
saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a remarkable sign hath been wrought by them is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.
17 Men for at det ikke skal komme videre ud iblandt Folket, da lader os true dem til ikke mere at tale til noget Menneske i dette Navn.‟
But that it spread no further among the people, let us strictly forbid them with threats to speak any longer in this name to any one.
18 Og de kaldte dem ind og forbøde dem aldeles at tale eller lære i Jesu Navn.
And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all, nor teach, in the name of Jesus.
19 Men Peter og Johannes svarede og sagde til dem: „Dømmer selv, om det er ret for Gud at lyde eder mere end Gud.
But Peter and John answered and said to them, Whether it is right in the sight of God to hearken to you rather than to God, judge ye.
20 Thi vi kunne ikke lade være at tale om det, som vi have set og hørt.‟
For we cannot but speak the things which we saw and heard.
21 Men de truede dem end mere og løslode dem, da de ikke kunde udfinde, hvorledes de skulde straffe dem, for Folkets Skyld; thi alle priste Gud for det, som var sket.
So, having further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, on account of the people; because all were glorifying God for that which had been done.
22 Thi den Mand, paa hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve Aar gammel.
For the man was above forty years old, on whom this sign of the healing had been wrought.
23 Da de nu vare løsladte, kom de til deres egne og fortalte dem alt, hvad Ypperstepræsterne og de Ældste havde sagt til dem.
And being released they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Men da de hørte dette, opløftede de endrægtigt Røsten til Gud og sagde: „Herre, du, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alle Ting, som ere i dem,
And on hearing it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art he that made heaven and earth and sea, and all things that are in them;
25 du, som har sagt ved din Tjener Davids Mund: „Hvorfor fnyste Hedninger, og Folkeslag oplagde forfængelige Raad?
who by the mouth of thy servant David said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the peoples meditate vain things?
26 Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede.‟
The kings of the earth came up, and the rulers assembled together, against the Lord, and against his Anointed.”
27 Ja, de have i Sandhed forsamlet sig i denne Stad imod din hellige Tjener Jesus, hvem du har salvet, baade Herodes og Pontius Pilatus tillige med Hedningerne og Israels Folkestammer
For in truth against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, did both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles, and the peoples of Israel, assemble in this city,
28 for at gøre det, som din Haand og dit Raad forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
to do whatever thy hand and thy will before determined to be done.
29 Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 idet du udrækker din Haand til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn.‟
while thou stretchest forth thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are wrought through the name of thy holy servant Jesus.
31 Og da de havde bedet, rystedes Stedet, hvor de vare forsamlede; og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligaand, og de talte Guds Ord med Frimodighed.
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Men de troendes Mængde havde eet Hjerte og een Sjæl; og end ikke een kaldte noget af det, han ejede, sit eget; men de havde alle Ting fælles.
And the multitude of those who believed were of one heart, and of one soul; and not one of them said that aught of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.
33 Og med stor Kraft aflagde Apostlene Vidnesbyrdet om den Herres Jesu Opstandelse, og der var stor Naade over dem alle.
And with great power did the apostles give their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace was upon them all.
34 Thi der var end ikke nogen trængende iblandt dem; thi alle de, som vare Ejere af Jordstykker eller Huse, solgte dem og bragte Salgssummerne
For there was no one among them that was in want; for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
35 og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
and laid them at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one, according as he had need.
36 Og Josef, som af Apostlene fik Tilnavnet Barnabas, (det er udlagt: Trøstens Søn), en Levit, født paa Kypern,
And Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, when interpreted, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, born in Cyprus,
37 som ejede en Jordlod, solgte den og bragte Pengene og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder.
having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
