Apostelenes gerninger 1
1 Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte baade at gøre og lære,
The former treatise, O Theophilus, I made concerning all that Jesus undertook both to do and to teach;
2 indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligaand;
till the day in which He was taken up, after He had by the holy Spirit given instructions to the apostles whom He had chosen:
3 for hvem han ogsaa, efter at han havde lidt, fremstillede sig levende ved mange Beviser, idet han viste sig for dem i fyrretyve Dage og talte om de Ting, der høre til Guds Rige.
to whom also He presented Himself alive, after He had suffered, by many certain proofs; being seen among them for forty days, and speaking of the things relating to the kingdom of God.
4 Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke maatte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, „hvorom, ‟ sagde han, „I have hørt af mig.
And meeting them together He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, said He, ye have heard from me;
5 Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand om ikke mange Dage.‟
for John indeed baptized with water, but ye shall within a few days be baptized with the holy Spirit.
6 Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: „Herre! opretter du paa denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?‟
Being therefore come together they asked Him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?
7 Men han sagde til dem: „Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
And He said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or seasons, which the Father hath reserved in his own power.
8 Men I skulle faa Kraft, naar den Helligaand kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner baade i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende.‟
But ye shall receive power from the holy Spirit coming upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
9 Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de saa derpaa, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
And having said these things, as they were looking upon Him, He was lifted up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
10 Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
And while they were looking stedfastly toward heaven, as He went up, behold two men in white stood by them;
11 og de sagde: „I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor staa I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen paa samme Maade, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen.‟
who said, Ye men of Galilee, why do ye stand gazing up to heaven? This Jesus who is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in the manner ye have seen Him going into heaven.
12 Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath-day's journey.
13 Og da de kom derind, gik de op paa den Sal, hvor de plejede at opholde sig, Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Andreas, Filip og Thomas, Bartholomæus og Matthæus, Jakob Alfæus's Søn og Simon Zelotes, og Judas, Jakobs Søn.
And when they were come in to the city, they went up into an upper room, where Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude the brother of James, usually abode.
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
These all persevered with one accord in prayer and supplication with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brethren.
15 Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde, (og der var en Skare samlet paa omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
And in these days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, (now the number of the persons that were together was about an hundred and twenty, )
16 „I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligaand forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
and said, Men and brethren, it was necessary that this scripture should be fulfilled, which the holy Ghost spake by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who was guide to them that apprehended Jesus:
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde faaet denne Tjenestes Lod.
for he was numbered with us, and had obtained a part of this ministry.
18 Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
(Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling down on his face, burst asunder in the middle, and all his bowels gushed out:
19 hvilket ogsaa er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, saa at den Ager kaldes paa deres eget Maal Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
(and it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the field is called in their own dialect, Aceldama, that is, the field of blood: )
20 Thi der er skrevet i Psalmernes Bog: „Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den, ‟ og: „Lad en anden faa hans Tilsynsgerning.‟
for it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let none dwell in it; and again, Let another take his office.)
21 Derfor bør en af de Mænd, som vare sammen med os i hele den Tid, da den Herre Jesus gik ind og gik ud hos os,
Wherefore it is necessary that one of these men, who have been conversant with us all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and out among us,
22 lige fra Johannes's Daab indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse.‟
from the baptism of John, till the day that He was taken up from us, should be joined with us as a witness of his resurrection.
23 Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
And they proposed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Og de bade og sagde: „Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
And they prayed and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all, shew us, which of these two Thou hast chosen,
25 til at faa denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gaa hen til sit eget Sted.‟
to take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas is fallen by his transgression, that he might go to his own place.
26 Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt paa Matthias, og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
And they gave out their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the apostles.
