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.

There were also in the Church that was at Antiochia, certaine Prophets and teachers, as Barnabas, and Simeon called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen (which had bin brought vp with Herod the Tetrarche) 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.‟

Nowe as they ministred to the Lord, and fasted, the holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul, for the worke whereunto I haue called them.

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

Then fasted they and prayed, and layde their hands on them, and let them goe.

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

And they, after they were sent foorth of the holy Ghost, came downe vnto Seleucia, and from thence they sayled to Cyprus.

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

And when they were at Salamis, they preached the worde of God in the Synagogues of the Iewes: and they had also Iohn to their minister.

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

So when they had gone throughout the yle vnto Paphus, they found a certaine sorcerer, a false prophet, being a Iewe, named Bariesus,

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

Which was with the Deputie Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He called vnto him Barnabas and Saul, and desired to heare the woorde of God.

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

But Elymas, ye sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstoode them, and sought to turne away the Deputie from the faith.

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

Then Saul (which also is called Paul) being full of the holy Ghost, set his eyes 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?

And sayde, O full of all subtiltie and all mischiefe, the childe of the deuill, and enemie of all righteousnesse, wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies 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.

Nowe therefore behold, the hand of the Lord is vpon thee, and thou shalt be blinde, and not see the sunne for a season. And immediately there fel on him a mist and a darknes; and he went about, seeking some to leade him by the hand.

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

Then the Deputie when he sawe what was done, beleeued, and was astonied 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.

Nowe when Paul and they that were with him were departed by shippe from Paphus, they came to Perga a citie of Pamphylia: then Iohn departed from them, and returned to Hierusalem.

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

But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antiochia a citie of Pisidia, and went into the Synagogue on ye Sabbath day, and sate downe.

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 lecture of the Law and Prophets, the rulers of ye Synagogue sent vnto them, saying, Ye men and brethren, if ye haue any word of exhortation for the people, say on.

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

Then Paul stoode vp and beckened with the hand, and sayde, Men of Israel, and yee that feare God, hearken.

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 of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt in the land of Egypt, and with an high arme brought them out thereof.

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

And about the time of fourtie yeeres, suffered he their maners in the wildernesse.

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

And he destroied seuen nations in the land of Chanaan, and deuided their lad to them by lot.

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

Then afterward he gaue vnto them Iudges about foure hundreth and fiftie yeeres, vnto the time of 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.

So after that, they desired a King, and God gaue vnto them Saul, the sonne of Cis, a man of ye tribe of Beniamin, by the space of fourty yeres.

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 after he had taken him away, he raised vp Dauid to be their King, of whom he witnessed, saying, I haue found Dauid the sonne of Iesse, a man after mine owne heart, which will doe all things that I will.

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

Of this mans seede hath God according to his promise raised vp to Israel, ye Sauiour Iesus:

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

When Iohn had first preached before his coming the baptisme of repentance to all the people of 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 when Iohn had fulfilled his course, he saide, Whom ye thinke that I am, I am not he: but beholde, there commeth one after me, whose shooe of his feete I am not worthy to loose.

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

Yee men and brethren, children of the generation of Abraham, and whosoeuer among you feareth God, to you is the woorde of this saluation 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 the inhabitants of Hierusalem, and their rulers, because they knewe him not, nor yet the woordes of the Prophets, which are read euery Sabbath day, they haue fulfilled them in condemning him.

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

And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they 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 had fulfilled all things that were written of him, they tooke him downe from the tree, and put him in a sepulchre.

30 Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,

But God raised him vp 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.

And hee was seene many dayes of them, which came vp with him from Galile to Hierusalem, which are his witnesses vnto 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 declare vnto you, that touching the promise made vnto the fathers,

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

God hath fulfilled it vnto vs their children, in that he raised vp Iesus, euen as it is written in the seconde Psalme, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I 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.‟

Nowe as concerning that he raised him vp from the dead, no more to returne to corruption, he hath said thus, I wil giue you the holy things of Dauid, which are faithfull.

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

Wherefore hee sayeth also in another place, Thou wilt not suffer thine Holy one to see corruption.

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

Howbeit, Dauid after hee had serued his time by the counsell of God, hee slept, and was laid with his fathers, and sawe corruption.

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

But he whom God raised vp, sawe no corruption.

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

Be it knowen vnto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached vnto you the forgiuenesse of sinnes.

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

And from al things, from which ye could not be iustified by the Law of Moses, by him euery one that beleeueth, is iustified.

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

Beware therefore lest that come vpon you, which is spoken of in the Prophets,

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 despisers, and wonder, and vanish away: for I woorke a woorke in your daies, a woorke which yee shall not beleeue, if a man would declare it you.

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

And when they were come out of the Synagogue of the Iewes, the Gentiles besought, that they woulde preach these woordes to them the next Sabbath day.

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.

Nowe when the congregation was dissolued, many of the Iewes and Proselytes that feared God, followed Paul and Barnabas, which spake to them, and exhorted them to continue in the grace of God.

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

And ye next Sabbath day came almost the whole citie together, to heare the worde 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 Iewes saw the people, they were full of enuie, and spake against those things, which were spoken of Paul, contrarying them, and railing on them.

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)

Then Paul and Barnabas spake boldly, and sayde, It was necessarie that the woorde of God shoulde first haue beene spoken vnto you: but seeing yee put it from you, and iudge your selues vnworthie of euerlasting life, loe, we turne 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 hath the Lord commanded vs, saying, I haue made thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be the saluation vnto the end of the world.

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 when the Gentiles heard it, they were glad, and glorified the woorde of the Lord: and as many as were ordeined vnto eternall life, beleeued. (aiōnios g166)

49 og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.

Thus the worde of the Lord was published throughout the whole countrey.

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 Iewes stirred certaine deuoute and honourable women, and the chiefe men of the citie, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coastes.

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

But they shooke off the dust of their feete against them, and came vnto Iconium.

52 Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligaand.

And the disciples were filled with ioy, and with the holy Ghost.
