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.
In Iconium it happened that they went together to the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke that a great number both of Jews and of Gentiles believed.
2 Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
But the disobedient Jews stirred up the souls of the Gentiles, and embittered them against them against the brothers.
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.
Long time, therefore, they tarried there, speaking fearlessly in the Lord, who attested the word of his grace by permitting signs and wonders to be performed by their hands.
4 Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
But the mass of the city’s people was divided; part held with the Jews, and part 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 both the Gentiles and the Jews with their ruler made a hostile move to maltreat and to stone them,
6 og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
the apostles got wind of it, and made their escape to the Lycaonian towns of Derbe and Lystra and the neighboring country.
7 og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
And there they continued to proclaim the gospel.
8 Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gaaet.
Now at Lystra there used to sit a certain man, lame in his feet, a cripple from birth, 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:
He was listening while Paul was preaching, and Paul, looking intently at him, and perceiving that he had faith to be made whole,
10 „Staa ret op paa dine Fødder!” Og han sprang op og gik omkring.
said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet!"
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.”
And he sprang up and began to walk about. Then the crowds, when they saw what Paul had done, shouted in the Lycaonian tongue, saying, "The gods are come down to us in human form."
12 Og de kaldte Barnabas Zeus, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
And they began to call Barnabas "Zeus," and Paul, since he was the principal speaker, "Hermes";
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 Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and along with the crowds was about to offer sacrifices.
14 Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
But when the apostles, Paul and Barnabas, heard of it, they rent their garments and rushed out among the crowd, shouting and 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;
"Men, why are you doing all this? We also are men, with natures like your own! We are bringing you good tidings, that you are to turn from these empty things to the living God, who made heaven and earth and the sea and all that in them is.
16 han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
In bygone generations he allowed all the nations to walk 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.”
and yet he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave you rain from heaven 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.
Even with saying this they with difficulty restrained 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.
And now a party of Jews came down form Antioch and Iconium, and after persuading the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.
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 as the disciples collected around him, he rose and went back into the city. The next day he went off with Barnabas into 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 after preaching the gospel to that town, and winning many converts, they went back 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.
Everywhere they strengthened the souls of the disciples, encouraging them to hold to the faith. "It is through many tribulations," they said, "that 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.
They chose elders for them in every church, after prayer and fasting, and commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.
24 Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
Then passing through Pisidia they came to Pamphylia and,
25 Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
after preaching the word in Perga, they came down to Attaleia.
26 Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Naade til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
Thence they sailed to Antioch, from whence they had been commended to the grace of God, for the work which they had now completed.
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.
On their arrival they assembled the church and reported all things that God had done through them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
And they tarried no little time with the disciples.
