Apostelenes gerninger 18
1 Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth.
After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
2 Der traf han en Jøde ved Navn Akvila, født i Pontus, som nylig var kommen fra Italien med sin Hustru Priskilla, fordi Klaudius havde befalet, at alle Jøderne skulde forlade Rom. Til disse gik han.
And finding there a certain Jew, named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who was lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla, (because Claudius Cesar had ordered all the Jews to depart from Rome, ) he went to them;
3 Og efterdi han øvede det samme Haandværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Haandværk.
and as he was of the same trade, he staid and worked with them: for they were tent-makers.
4 Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen paa hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
And he discoursed in the synagogue every sabbath-day, and persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
5 Men da Silas og Timotheus kom ned fra Makedonien, var Paulus helt optagen af at tale og vidnede for Jøderne, at Jesus er Kristus.
And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was very urgent in spirit, testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah.
6 Men da de stode imod og spottede, rystede han Støvet af sine Klæder og sagde til dem: „Eders Blod komme over eders Hoved! Jeg er ren; herefter vil jeg gaa til Hedningerne.‟
But as they opposed and blasphemed, he shook his garment, and said unto them, Your blood be upon your own heads; I am clear of it: from henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
7 Og han gik bort derfra og gik ind til en Mand ved Navn Justus, som frygtede Gud, og hvis Hus laa ved Siden af Synagogen.
And departing thence, he went to the house of one named Justus, who worshipped God, whose house was contiguous to the synagogue.
8 Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede paa Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.
But Crispus the ruler of the synagogue believed on the Lord with all his house: and many of the Corinthians hearing the word believed, and were baptized.
9 Men Herren sagde til Paulus i et Syn om Natten: „Frygt ikke, men tal og ti ikke,
And the Lord said to Paul by a vision in the night, "Fear not, but speak: and be not silent:
10 eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Haand paa dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By.‟
for I am with thee, and no man shall lay hands on thee to hurt thee; for I have much people in this city."
11 Og han slog sig ned der et Aar og seks Maaneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
And he staid a year and six months, teaching among them the word of God.
12 Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose against Paul, and brought him to the seat of justice,
13 „Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven.‟
saying, this fellow persuadeth men to worship God contrary to the law.
14 Og da Paulus vilde oplade Munden, sagde Gallio til Jøderne: „Dersom det var nogen Uret eller Misgerning, I Jøder! vilde jeg, som billigt var, taalmodigt høre paa eder.
And when Paul was going to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, If it were indeed an act of injustice, or some wicked crime, it would be reasonable that I should bear with you.
15 Men er det Stridsspørgsmaal om Lære og Navne og om den Lov, som I have, da ser selv dertil; thi jeg vil ikke være Dommer over disse Ting.‟
But if it be a question about words, and names, and your law, settle it yourselves; for I will be no judge of these matters.
16 Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
And he ordered them away from the tribunal.
17 Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
Then all the Greeks took Sosthenes the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him even before the tribunal: but Gallio did not concern himself about the matter.
18 Men Paulus blev der endnu i mange Dage; derefter tog han Afsked med Brødrene og sejlede bort til Syrien og med ham Priskilla og Akvila, efter at han havde ladet sit Haar klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte paa sig.
And after Paul had staid there yet a considerable time, he took leave of the brethren, and sailed from thence to Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila, after he had shaved his head at Cenchrea; for he had a vow.
19 Men de kom til Efesus; og der lod han hine blive tilbage; men han selv gik ind i Synagogen og samtalede med Jøderne.
And he came to Esphesus, and left them there: but before his departure he himself went into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews.
20 Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;
Though when they desired him to stay longer with them, he did not consent: but took his leave of them,
21 men han tog Afsked og sagde: „[Jeg maa endelig holde denne forestaaende Højtid i Jerusalem; men] jeg vil atter vende tilbage til eder, om Gud vil.‟ Og han sejlede ud fra Efesus
saying, I must by all means keep the approaching feast at Jerusalem; but I will return to you again, God willing. So he sailed from Ephesus;
22 og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste paa Menigheden og drog saa ned til Antiokia.
and landing at Cesarea, went up to Jerusalem, and after he had saluted the church, he went down to Antioch.
23 Og da han havde opholdt sig der nogen Tid, drog han bort og rejste fra Sted til Sted igennem det galatiske Land og Frygien og styrkede alle Disciplene.
And when he had spent some time there, he departed, and went in order through the country of Galatia and Phrygia strengthening all the disciples.
24 Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.
Now there came to Ephesus a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures.
25 Denne var undervist om Herrens Vej, og brændende i Aanden talte og lærte han grundigt om Jesus, skønt han kun kendte Johannes's Daab.
Who had been instructed in the way of our Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spake and taught clearly the things of the Lord, though he knew only the baptism of John.
26 Og han begyndte at tale frimodigt i Synagogen. Men da Priskilla og Akvila hørte ham, toge de ham til sig og udlagde ham Guds Vej nøjere.
And as he began to speak openly in the synagogue, Aquila and Priscilla heard him and took him home, and expounded to him the way of God more perfectly.
27 Men da han vilde rejse videre til Akaja, skrev Brødrene til Disciplene og opmuntrede dem til at tage imod ham. Da han var kommen derhen, var han ved Guds Naade de troende til megen Nytte;
And as he was inclined to go into Achaia, the brethren wrote to the disciples exhorting them to receive him: who when he arrived, was very helpful to those who had believed through grace.
28 thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
For he disputed vehemently with the Jews in public, proving by the scriptures, that Jesus was the Christ.
