< 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 went both together into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spoke, that a great multitude both of the Jews and also of the Greeks believed.
2 Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles, and made their minds 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.
A long time therefore they abode speaking boldly in the Lord, who gave testimony to the word of his grace, and granted signs and wonders to be done by their hands.
4 Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
But the multitude of the city was divided: and 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 there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, 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,
Being aware of it, they fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding region:
7 og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
And there they preached the gospel.
8 Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gaaet.
And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple 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:
The same heard Paul speak: who steadfastly beholding him, and perceiving 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, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped 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.‟
And when the people saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in the speech of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men.
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 was the chief speaker.
13 Men Præsten ved Zeustemplet, som var uden for Byen, bragte Tyre og Kranse hen til Portene og vilde ofre tillige med Skarerne.
Then the priest of Jupiter, who was before their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people.
14 Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they tore their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out,
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, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach to you that ye should turn from these vanities to the living God, who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are in them:
16 han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
Who in times past allowed all 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.‟
Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our 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 with these sayings they scarce restrained the people, from doing sacrifice 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 there came there certain Jews from Antioch and Iconium, who persuaded the people, and, having stoned Paul, drew 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 stood around him, he rose, and came into the city: and the next day he departed 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 when they had preached the gospel to that city, and had taught many, they returned again to Lystra, and to Iconium, and to 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.
Confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation 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 when they had ordained for them elders in every church, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord, on whom they believed.
24 Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
And after they had passed throughout Pisidia, they came to Pamphylia.
25 Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
And when they had preached the word in Perga, they went down into Attalia:
26 Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Naade til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
And from there sailed to Antioch, where they had been commended from to the grace of God for the work which they 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 when they had come, and had gathered the church together, they reported all that God had done with them, and that he had opened the door of faith to the Gentiles.
28 Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
And there they abode a long time with the disciples.
