Apostelenes gerninger 11
1 Men Apostlene og de Brødre, som vare rundt om i Judæa, hørte, at ogsaa Hedningerne havde modtaget Guds Ord.
And the apostles and the brethren who were in Judaea heard that the nations also had received the word of God;
2 Og da Peter kom op til Jerusalem, tvistedes de af Omskærelsen med ham og sagde:
and when Peter went up to Jerusalem, they of the circumcision contended with him,
3 „Du er gaaet ind til uomskaarne Mænd og har spist med dem.‟
saying, Thou wentest in to men uncircumcised and hast eaten with them.
4 Men Peter begyndte og forklarede dem det i Sammenhæng og sagde:
But Peter began and set forth [the matter] to them in order, saying,
5 „Jeg var i Byen Joppe og bad; og jeg saa i en Henrykkelse et Syn, noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned fra Himmelen, og den kom lige hen til mig.
I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in an ecstasy I saw a vision, a certain vessel descending like a great sheet, let down by four corners out of heaven, and it came even to me:
6 Jeg stirrede paa den og betragtede den og saa da Jordens firføddede Dyr og vilde Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.
on which having fixed mine eyes, I considered, and saw the quadrupeds of the earth, and the wild beasts, and the creeping things, and the fowls of the heaven.
7 Og jeg hørte ogsaa en Røst, som sagde til mig: Staa op, Peter, slagt og spis!
And I heard also a voice saying to me, Rise up, Peter, slay and eat.
8 Men jeg sagde: Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig kom noget vanhelligt eller urent i min Mund.
And I said, In no wise, Lord, for common or unclean has never entered into my mouth.
9 Men en Røst svarede anden Gang fra Himmelen: Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!
And a voice answered the second time out of heaven, What God has cleansed, do not thou make common.
10 Og dette skete tre Gange; saa blev det igen alt sammen draget op til Himmelen.
And this took place thrice, and again all was drawn up into heaven;
11 Og se, i det samme stode tre Mænd ved det Hus, i hvilket jeg var, som vare udsendte til mig fra Kæsarea.
and lo, immediately three men were at the house in which I was, sent to me from Caesarea.
12 Men Aanden sagde til mig, at jeg skulde gaa med dem uden at gøre Forskel. Men ogsaa disse seks Brødre droge med mig, og vi gik ind i Mandens Hus.
And the Spirit said to me to go with them, nothing doubting. And there went with me these six brethren also, and we entered into the house of the man,
13 Og han fortalte os, hvorledes han havde set Engelen staa i hans Hus og sige: Send Bud til Joppe og lad Simon med Tilnavn Peter hente!
and he related to us how he had seen the angel in his house, standing and saying [to him], Send [men] to Joppa and fetch Simon, who is surnamed Peter,
14 Han skal tale Ord til dig, ved hvilke du og hele dit Hus skal frelses.
who shall speak words to thee whereby thou shalt be saved, thou and all thy house.
15 Men idet jeg begyndte at tale, faldt den Helligaand paa dem ligesom ogsaa paa os i Begyndelsen.
And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them even as upon us also at the beginning.
16 Og jeg kom Herrens Ord i Hu, hvorledes han sagde: Johannes døbte med Vand, men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand.
And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with [the] Holy Spirit.
17 Naar altsaa Gud gav dem lige Gave med os, da de troede paa den Herre Jesus Kristus, hvem var da jeg, at jeg skulde kunne hindre Gud?‟
If then God has given them the same gift as also to us when we had believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who indeed was I to be able to forbid God?
18 Men da de hørte dette, bleve de rolige, og de priste Gud og sagde: „Saa har Gud ogsaa givet Hedningerne Omvendelsen til Liv.‟
And when they heard these things they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then indeed God has to the nations also granted repentance to life.
19 De, som nu vare blevne adspredte paa Grund af den Trængsel, som opstod i Anledning af Stefanus, vandrede om lige til Fønikien og Kypern og Antiokia, og de talte ikke Ordet til nogen uden til Jøder alene.
They then who had been scattered abroad through the tribulation that took place on the occasion of Stephen, passed through [the country] to Phoenicia and Cyprus and Antioch, speaking the word to no one but to Jews alone.
20 Men iblandt dem var der nogle Mænd fra Kypern og Kyrene, som kom til Antiokia og talte ogsaa til Grækerne og forkyndte Evangeliet om den Herre Jesus.
But there were certain of them, Cyprians and Cyrenians, who entering into Antioch spoke to the Greeks also, announcing the glad tidings of the Lord Jesus.
21 Og Herrens Haand var med dem, og et stort Antal blev troende og omvendte sig til Herren.
And [the] Lord's hand was with them, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord.
22 Men Rygtet om dem kom Menigheden i Jerusalem for Øre, og de sendte Barnabas ud til Antiokia.
And the report concerning them reached the ears of the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go through as far as Antioch:
23 Da han nu kom derhen og saa Guds Naade, glædede han sig og formanede alle til med Hjertets Forsæt at blive ved Herren.
who, having arrived and seeing the grace of God, rejoiced, and exhorted all with purpose of heart to abide with the Lord;
24 Thi han var en god Mand og fuld af den Helligaand og Tro. Og en stor Skare blev ført til Herren.
for he was a good man and full of [the] Holy Spirit and of faith; and a large crowd [of people] were added to the Lord.
25 Men han drog ud til Tarsus for at opsøge Saulus; og da han fandt ham, førte han ham til Antiokia.
And he went away to Tarsus to seek out Saul.
26 Og det skete, at de endog et helt Aar igennem færdedes sammen i Menigheden og lærte en stor Skare, og at Disciplene først i Antiokia bleve kaldte Kristne.
And having found [him], he brought him to Antioch. And so it was with them that for a whole year they were gathered together in the assembly and taught a large crowd: and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Men i disse Dage kom der Profeter ned fra Jerusalem til Antiokia.
Now in these days prophets went down from Jerusalem to Antioch;
28 Og en af dem, ved Navn Agabus, stod op og tilkendegav ved Aanden, at der skulde komme en stor Hungersnød over hele Verden, hvilken ogsaa kom under Klaudius.
and one from among them, by name Agabus, rose up and signified by the Spirit that there was going to be a great famine over all the inhabited earth, which also came to pass under Claudius.
29 Men Disciplene besluttede at sende, hver efter sin Evne, noget til Hjælp for Brødrene, som boede i Judæa;
And they determined, according as any one of the disciples was well off, each of them to send to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea, to minister [to them];
30 hvilket de ogsaa gjorde, og de sendte det til de Ældste ved Barnabas's og Saulus's Haand.
which also they did, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul.
