Apostelenes gerninger 13

1 Men i Antiokia, i den derværende Menighed, var der Profeter og Lærere, nemlig Barnabas og Simeon, med Tilnavn Niger, og Kyrenæeren Lukius og Manaen, en Fosterbroder af Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, og Saulus.

Now there were some men from the congregation that was in Antioch, prophets and teachers, including Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, and Manaen reared with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

2 Medens de nu holdt Gudstjeneste og fastede, sagde den Helligaand: „Udtager mig Barnabas og Saulus til den Gerning, hvortil jeg har kaldet dem.‟

And while they were serving the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Separate to me now Barnabas and Saul for the work that I have called them.

3 Da fastede de og bade og lagde Hænderne paa dem og lode dem fare.

Then, having fasted and prayed and laid hands on them, they sent them away.

4 Da de nu saaledes vare udsendte af den Helligaand, droge de ned til Seleukia og sejlede derfra til Kypern.

Indeed therefore these men, having been sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed for Cyprus.

5 Og da de vare komne til Salamis, forkyndte de Guds Ord i Jødernes Synagoger; men de havde ogsaa Johannes til Medhjælper.

And after becoming in Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews, and they also had John for a helper.

6 Og da de vare dragne igennem hele Øen indtil Pafus, fandt de en Troldkarl, en falsk Profet, en Jøde, hvis Navn var Barjesus.

And after going through the island as far as Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar-jesus,

7 Han var hos Statholderen Sergius Paulus, en forstandig Mand. Denne kaldte Barnabas og Saulus til sig og attraaede at høre Guds Ord.

who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. This man, having summoned Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God.

8 Men Elimas, Troldkarlen, (thi dette betyder hans Navn), stod dem imod og søgte at vende Statholderen bort fra Troen.

But Elymas the sorcerer (for so his name is translated) opposed them, seeking to deviate the proconsul from the faith.

9 Men Saulus, som ogsaa kaldes Paulus, blev fyldt med den Helligaand, saa fast paa ham og sagde:

But Saul (the man is also Paul) having been filled with the Holy Spirit, and having gazed on him,

10 „O, du Djævelens Barn, fuld af al Svig og al Underfundighed, du Fjende af al Retfærdighed! vil du ikke holde op med at forvende Herrens de lige Veje?

said, O man full of all deceit and all recklessness, thou son of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, will thou not cease distorting the straight ways of the Lord?

11 Og nu se, Herrens Haand er over dig, og du skal blive blind og til en Tid ikke se Solen.‟ Men straks faldt der Mulm og Mørke over ham, og han gik omkring og søgte efter nogen, som kunde lede ham.

And now, behold, a hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou will be blind, not seeing the sun until a time. And immediately there fell on him gloom and darkness, and going around he sought hand-guides.

12 Da Statholderen saa det, som var sket, troede han, slagen af Forundring over Herrens Lære.

Then the proconsul, who saw that which happened, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.

13 Paulus og de, som vare med ham, sejlede da ud fra Pafus og kom til Perge i Pamfylien. Men Johannes skiltes fra dem og vendte tilbage til Jerusalem.

Now those around Paul, having launched from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John, having departed from them, returned to Jerusalem.

14 Men de droge videre fra Perge og kom til Antiokia i Pisidien og gik ind i Synagogen paa Sabbatsdagen og satte sig.

And they, having passed through from Perga, arrived at Antioch of Pisidia, and after entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.

15 Men efter Forelæsningen af Loven og Profeterne sendte Synagogeforstanderne Bud hen til dem og lode sige: „I Mænd, Brødre! have I noget Formaningsord til Folket, da siger frem!‟

And after the reading of the law and the prophets the synagogue rulers sent to them, saying, Men, brothers, if there is among you a word of exhortation for the people, speak.

16 Men Paulus stod op og slog til Lyd med Haanden og sagde: „I israelitiske Mænd og I, som frygte Gud, hører til!

And Paul having stood up, and having motioned with the hand, he said, Men! Israelites and those who fear God, listen.

17 Dette Folks, Israels Gud udvalgte vore Fædre og ophøjede Folket i Udlændigheden i Ægyptens Land og førte dem derfra med løftet Arm.

The God of this people Israel chose our fathers, and raised up the people during the sojourn in the land of Egypt. And with a lofty arm he brought them out of it.

18 Og omtrent fyrretyve Aar taalte han deres Færd i Ørkenen.

And for about a forty-year time he was patient with them in the wilderness.

19 Og han udryddede syv Folk i Kanaans Land og fordelte disses Land iblandt dem,

And having destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he allotted their land to them.

20 og derefter i omtrent fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Aar gav han dem Dommere indtil Profeten Samuel.

And after these things he gave them judges about four hundred and fifty years until Samuel the prophet.

21 Og derefter bade de om en Konge; og Gud gav dem Saul, Kis's Søn, en Mand af Benjamins Stamme, i fyrretyve Aar.

And afterward they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

22 Og da han havde taget ham bort, oprejste han dem David til Konge, om hvem han ogsaa vidnede, og sagde: „Jeg har fundet David, Isajs Søn, en Mand efter mit Hjerte, som skal gøre al min Villie.‟

And having removed him, he raised up David for a king to them, also about whom he said, when he testified, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man according to my heart, who will do all my purposes.

23 Af dennes Sæd bragte Gud efter Forjættelsen Israel en Frelser, Jesus,

From this man's seed according to promise, God brought salvation to Israel,

24 efter at Johannes forud for hans Fremtræden havde prædiket Omvendelses-Daab for hele Israels Folk.

John having earlier proclaimed, before his coming presence, the immersion of repentance to Israel.

25 Men da Johannes var ved at fuldende sit Løb, sagde han: „Hvad anse I mig for at være? Mig er det ikke; men se, der kommer en efter mig, hvis Sko jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟

And as John was fulfilling his course, he said, Whom do ye suppose me to be? I am not, but behold, he comes after me of whom I am not worthy to loose the shoes of his feet.

26 I Mænd, Brødre, Sønner af Abrahams Slægt, og de iblandt eder, som frygte Gud! Til os er Ordet om denne Frelse sendt.

Men, brothers, sons of the race of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, to you the word of this salvation was sent.

27 Thi de, som bo i Jerusalem, og deres Raadsherrer kendte ham ikke; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved Profeternes Ord, som forelæses hver Sabbat.

For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not having known this and the voices of the prophets being read at every sabbath, they fulfilled, having condemned him.

28 Og om end de ingen Dødsskyld fandt hos ham, bade de dog Pilatus, at han maatte blive slaaet ihjel.

And not having found one cause of death in him, they asked for Pilate to kill him.

29 Men da de havde fuldbragt alle Ting, som ere skrevne om ham, toge de ham ned af Træet og lagde ham i en Grav.

And when they completed all the things written about him, having taken him down from the tree, they laid him in a tomb.

30 Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,

But God raised him from the dead,

31 og han blev set i flere Dage af dem, som vare gaaede med ham op fra Galilæa til Jerusalem, dem, som nu ere hans Vidner for Folket.

who was seen for more days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are witnesses of him to the people.

32 Og vi forkynde eder den Forjættelse, som blev given til Fædrene, at Gud har opfyldt denne for os, deres Børn, idet han oprejste Jesus;

And we proclaim good news to you: the promise to the fathers, which happened because God has fulfilled this to us their children, having raised up Jesus,

33 som der ogsaa er skrevet i den anden Psalme: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag.‟

as also it is written in the second psalm, Thou are my Son, today I have begotten thee.

34 Men at han har oprejst ham fra de døde, saa at han ikke mere skal vende tilbage til Forraadnelse, derom har han sagt saaledes: „Jeg vil give eder Davids hellige Forjættelser, de trofaste.‟

And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David.

35 Thi han siger ogsaa i en anden Psalme: „Du skal ikke tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse.‟

Therefore also he says in another, Thou will not give thy Holy Man to see decay.

36 David sov jo hen, da han i sin Livstid havde tjent Guds Raadslutning, og han blev henlagt hos sine Fædre og saa Forraadnelse;

For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay.

37 men den, som Gud oprejste, saa ikke Forraadnelse.

But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

38 Saa være det eder vitterligt, I Mænd, Brødre! at ved ham forkyndes der eder Syndernes Forladelse;

Be it known to you therefore, men, brothers, that through this man remission of sins is proclaimed to you.

39 og fra alt, hvorfra I ikke kunde retfærdiggøres ved Mose Lov, retfærdiggøres ved ham enhver, som tror.

And from all things of which ye could not be make righteous by the law of Moses, in this man every man who believes is made righteous.

40 Ser nu til, at ikke det, som er sagt ved Profeterne, kommer over eder:

Watch therefore, lest that which is spoken in the prophets should come upon you:

41 „Ser, I Foragtere, og forundrer eder og bliver til intet; thi en Gerning gør jeg i eders Dage, en Gerning, som I ikke vilde tro, dersom nogen fortalte eder den.‟

Behold, ye scoffers, and wonder, and perish, because I work a work in your days, which ye would, no, not believe, if some man should fully narrate it to you.

42 Men da de gik ud, bad man dem om, at disse Ord maatte blive talte til dem paa den følgende Sabbat.

And as they went out from the synagogue of the Jews, the Gentiles urged that these sayings be spoken to them the next sabbath.

43 Men da Forsamlingen var opløst, fulgte mange af Jøderne og af de gudfrygtige Proselyter Paulus og Barnabas, som talte til dem og formanede dem til at blive fast ved Guds Naade.

Now after the synagogue was dismissed, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, while conversing, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.

44 Men paa den følgende Sabbat forsamledes næsten hele Byen for at høre Guds Ord.

And on the coming sabbath almost all the city was assembled to hear the word of God.

45 Men da Jøderne saa Skarerne, bleve de fulde af Nidkærhed og modsagde det, som blev talt af Paulus, ja, baade sagde imod og spottede.

But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled of envy, and contradicted the things spoken by Paul, contradicting and slandering.

46 Men Paulus og Barnabas talte frit ud og sagde: „Det var nødvendigt, at Guds Ord først skulde tales til eder; men efterdi I støde det fra eder og ikke agte eder selv værdige til det evige Liv, se, saa vende vi os til Hedningerne. (aiōnios g166)

But having spoken boldly, Paul and Barnabas said, It was necessary for the word of God to be spoken first to you, but since ye thrust it away, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)

47 Thi saaledes har Herren befalet os: „Jeg har sat dig til Hedningers Lys, for at du skal være til Frelse lige ud til Jordens Ende.‟

For so the Lord has commanded us: I have placed thee for a light of Gentiles, for thee to be for salvation as far as the extremity of the earth.

48 Men da Hedningerne hørte dette, bleve de glade og priste Herrens Ord, og de troede, saa mange, som vare bestemte til evigt Liv, (aiōnios g166)

And hearing this, the Gentiles were glad and glorified the word of the Lord. And as many as were appointed for eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)

49 og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.

And the word of the Lord was spread abroad through the whole region.

50 Men Jøderne ophidsede de fornemme gudfrygtige Kvinder og de første Mænd i Byen; og de vakte en Forfølgelse imod Paulus og Barnabas og joge dem ud fra deres Grænser.

But the Jews incited the religious women, and the prominent women, and the principle men of the city, and raised up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas. And they threw them out of their boundaries.

51 Men de rystede Støvet af deres Fødder imod dem og droge til Ikonium.

But after shaking off the dust of their feet against them, they came to Iconium.

52 Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligaand.

And the disciples were filled with joy and the Holy Spirit.
