Apostelenes gerninger 14
1 Men det skete i Ikonium, at de sammen gik ind i Jødernes Synagoge og talte saaledes, at en stor Mængde, baade af Jøder og Grækere, troede.
And it came to pass in Iconium that they entered together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that a great multitude of both Jews and Greeks believed.
2 Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
But the Jews who did not believe stirred up the minds of [those of] the nations and made [them] evil-affected against the brethren.
3 De opholdt sig nu en Tid lang der og talte med Frimodighed i Herren, som gav sin Naades Ord Vidnesbyrd, idet han lod Tegn og Undere ske ved deres Hænder.
They stayed therefore a good while, speaking boldly, [confiding] in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace, giving signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
And the multitude of the city was divided, and some were with the Jews and some with the apostles.
5 Men da der blev et Opløb, baade af Hedningerne og Jøderne med samt deres Raadsherrer, for at mishandle og stene dem,
And when an assault was making, both of [those of] the nations and [the] Jews with their rulers, to use [them] ill and stone them,
6 og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
they, being aware of it, fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country,
7 og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
and there they were announcing the glad tidings.
8 Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gaaet.
And a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, sat, [being] lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.
9 Han hørte Paulus tale; og da denne fæstede Øjet paa ham og saa, at han havde Tro til at frelses, sagde han med høj Røst:
This [man] heard Paul speaking, who, fixing his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be healed,
10 „Staa ret op paa dine Fødder!‟ Og han sprang op og gik omkring.
said with a loud voice, Rise up straight upon thy feet: and he sprang up and walked.
11 Men da Skarerne saa, hvad Paulus havde gjort, opløftede de deres Røst og sagde paa Lykaonisk: „Guderne ere i menneskelig Skikkelse stegne ned til os.‟
But the crowds, who saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voices in Lycaonian, saying, The gods, having made themselves like men, are come down to us.
12 Og de kaldte Barnabas Zeus, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul Mercury, because he took the lead in speaking.
13 Men Præsten ved Zeustemplet, som var uden for Byen, bragte Tyre og Kranse hen til Portene og vilde ofre tillige med Skarerne.
And the priest of Jupiter who was before the city, having brought bulls and garlands to the gates, would have done sacrifice along with the crowds.
14 Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, having heard [it], rent their garments, and rushed out to the crowd, crying
15 raabte og sagde: „I Mænd! hvorfor gøre I dette? Vi ere ogsaa Mennesker, lige Kaar undergivne med eder, og vi forkynde eder Evangeliet om at vende om fra disse tomme Ting til den levende Gud, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alt, hvad der er i dem;
and saying, Men, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, preaching to you to turn from these vanities to the living God, who made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things in them;
16 han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
who in the past generations suffered all the nations to go in their own ways,
17 ihvorvel han ikke lod sig selv være uden Vidnesbyrd, idet han gjorde godt og gav eder Regn og frugtbare Tider fra Himmelen og mættede eders Hjerter med Føde og Glæde.‟
though indeed he did not leave himself without witness, doing good, and giving to you from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, filling your hearts with food and gladness.
18 Og det var med Nød og næppe, at de ved at sige dette afholdt Skarerne fra at ofre til dem.
And saying these things, they with difficulty kept the crowds from sacrificing to them.
19 Men der kom Jøder til fra Antiokia og Ikonium, og de overtalte Skarerne og stenede Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Byen i den Tro, at han var død.
But there came Jews from Antioch and Iconium, and having persuaded the crowds and stoned Paul, drew him out of the city, supposing him to have died.
20 Men da Disciplene omringede ham, stod han op og gik ind i Byen. Og den næste Dag gik han med Barnabas bort til Derbe.
But while the disciples encircled him, he rose up and entered into the city. And on the morrow he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.
21 Og da de havde forkyndt Evangeliet i denne By og vundet mange Disciple, vendte de tilbage til Lystra og Ikonium og Antiokia
And having announced the glad tidings to that city, and having made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, and Iconium, and Antioch,
22 og styrkede Disciplenes Sjæle og paamindede dem om at blive i Troen og om, at vi maa igennem mange Trængsler indgaa i Guds Rige.
establishing the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to abide in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter into the kingdom of God.
23 Men efter at de i hver Menighed havde udvalgt Ældste for dem, overgave de dem under Bøn og Faste til Herren, hvem de havde givet deres Tro.
And having chosen them elders in each assembly, having prayed with fastings, they committed them to the Lord, on whom they had believed.
24 Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
And having passed through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia,
25 Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
and having spoken the word in Perga, they came down to Attalia;
26 Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Naade til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
and thence they sailed away to Antioch, whence they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
27 Men da de kom derhen og havde forsamlet Menigheden, forkyndte de, hvor store Ting Gud havde gjort med dem, og at han havde aabnet en Troens Dør for Hedningerne.
And having arrived, and having brought together the assembly, they related to them all that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
28 Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
And they stayed no little time with the disciples.
