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 brethren that were in Judaea heard that the Gentiles 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 had come to Jerusalem, they that were 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 didst eat with them.
4 Men Peter begyndte og forklarede dem det i Sammenhæng og sagde:
But Peter went over the matter from the beginning, and expounded it by order to them, 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 a trance I saw a vision, A certain vessel descend, like a great sheet, let down from heaven by four corners; 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.
Upon which when I had fastened my eyes, I considered, and saw fourfooted beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air.
7 Og jeg hørte ogsaa en Røst, som sagde til mig: Staa op, Peter, slagt og spis!
And I heard a voice saying to me, Arise, Peter; slay and eat.
8 Men jeg sagde: Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig kom noget vanhelligt eller urent i min Mund.
But I said, Not so, Lord: for nothing common or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth.
9 Men en Røst svarede anden Gang fra Himmelen: Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!
But the voice answered me again from heaven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common.
10 Og dette skete tre Gange; saa blev det igen alt sammen draget op til Himmelen.
And this was done three times: and all were drawn up again 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, behold, immediately there were three men already come to the house where I was, sent from Caesarea to me.
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 bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house:
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 showed us how he had seen an angel in his house, who stood and said to him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter;
14 Han skal tale Ord til dig, ved hvilke du og hele dit Hus skal frelses.
Who shall tell thee words, by which thou and all thy house shall be saved.
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 on them, as on us 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.
Then I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in 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?‟
Forasmuch then as God gave them the same gift as he did to us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand 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.‟
When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles 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.
Now they who were dispersed upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but to the Jews only.
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.
And some of them were men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jesus.
21 Og Herrens Haand var med dem, og et stort Antal blev troende og omvendte sig til Herren.
And the hand of the Lord 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.
Then tidings of these things came to the ears of the church which was in Jerusalem: and they sent forth Barnabas, that he should go 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, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would continue 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 many 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.
Then Barnabas departed to Tarsus, to seek 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 when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.
27 Men i disse Dage kom der Profeter ned fra Jerusalem til Antiokia.
And in these days came prophets 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 there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be a great famine throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.
29 Men Disciplene besluttede at sende, hver efter sin Evne, noget til Hjælp for Brødrene, som boede i Judæa;
Then the disciples, every man according to his ability, determined to send relief to the brethren who dwelt in Judaea:
30 hvilket de ogsaa gjorde, og de sendte det til de Ældste ved Barnabas's og Saulus's Haand.
Which also they did, and sent it to the elders by the hands of Barnabas and Saul.
