< Apostelenes gerninger 2 >

1 Og da Pinsefestens Dag kom, vare de alle endrægtigt forsamlede.
And while fulfilling the day of Pentecost, they were all together at the same place.
2 Og der kom pludseligt fra Himmelen en Lyd som af et fremfarende vældigt Vejr og fyldte hele Huset, hvor de sade.
And suddenly there developed a sound from the sky as of a forceful wind moving, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
3 Og der viste sig for dem Tunger som af Ild, der fordelte sig og satte sig paa hver enkelt af dem.
And there appeared to them dividing tongues, as of fire, and they settled upon each one of them.
4 Og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligaand, og de begyndte at tale i andre Tungemaal, efter hvad Aanden gav dem at udsige.
And they were all filled of the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to declare.
5 Men der var Jøder, bosiddende i Jerusalem, gudfrygtige Mænd af alle Folkeslag under Himmelen.
Now there were dwelling at Jerusalem, Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven.
6 Da denne Lyd kom, strømmede Mængden sammen og blev forvirret; thi hver enkelt hørte dem tale paa hans eget Maal.
And the sound of this that happened brought the multitude together. And it was bewildered because each one heard them speaking in his own language.
7 Og de forbavsedes alle og undrede sig og sagde: „Se, ere ikke alle disse, som tale, Galilæere?
And they were amazed and marveled, saying to each other, Behold, are not all these men who speak Galileans?
8 Hvor kunne vi da høre dem tale, hver paa vort eget Maal, hvori vi ere fødte,
And how do we each hear our own language in which we were born?
9 Parthere og Medere og Elamiter, og vi, som høre hjemme i Mesopotamien, Judæa og Kappadokien, Pontus og Asien,
Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, and Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
10 i Frygien og Pamfylien, Ægypten og Libyens Egne ved Kyrene, og vi her boende Romere,
and Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya along Cyrene, and those Roman aliens, including Jews and proselytes,
11 Jøder og Proselyter, Kretere og Arabere, vi høre dem tale om Guds store Gerninger i vore Tungemaal?‟
Cretes and Arabians. We hear them speaking in our tongues the great things of God.
12 Og de forbavsedes alle og vare tvivlraadige og sagde den ene til den anden: „Hvad kan dette være?‟
And they were all amazed, and were perplexed, others saying to others, Whatever does this intend to be?
13 Men andre sagde spottende: „De ere fulde af sød Vin.‟
But others, mocking said, They are filled of wine.
14 Da stod Peter frem med de elleve og opløftede sin Røst og talte til dem: „I jødiske Mænd og alle I, som bo i Jerusalem! dette være eder vitterligt, og laaner Øre til mine Ord!
But Peter having stood up with the eleven, raised his voice and spoke out to them, saying, Jewish men, and all who dwell at Jerusalem, be this known to you, and listen to my sayings.
15 Thi disse ere ikke drukne, som I mene; det er jo den tredje Time paa Dagen;
For these men are not drunken, as ye suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
16 men dette er, hvad der er sagt ved Profeten Joel:
But this is that which was spoken through the prophet Joel:
17 „Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, siger Gud, da vil jeg udgyde af min Aand over alt Kød; og eders Sønner og eders Døtre skulle profetere, og de unge iblandt eder skulle se Syner, og de gamle iblandt eder skulle have Drømme.
And it will be in the last days, says God, I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters will prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your elders will dream dreams.
18 Ja, endog over mine Trælle og over mine Trælkvinder vil jeg i de Dage udgyde af min Aand, og de skulle profetere.
And also on my bondmen and on my bondmaids in those days I will pour out from my Spirit, and they will prophesy.
19 Og jeg vil lade ske Undere paa Himmelen oventil og Tegn paa Jorden nedentil, Blod og Ild og rygende Damp.
And I will give wonders in the heaven above, and signs on the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.
20 Solen skal forvandles til Mørke og Maanen til Blod, førend Herrens store og herlige Dag kommer.
The sun will be changed into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and wonderful day of the Lord comes.
21 Og det skal ske, enhver, som paakalder Herrens Navn, skal frelses.‟ —
And it will be, that every man, whoever may call on the name of the Lord will be saved.
22 I israelitiske Mænd! hører disse Ord: Jesus af Nazareth, en Mand, som fra Gud var godtgjort for eder ved kraftige Gerninger og Undere og Tegn, hvilke Gud gjorde ved ham midt iblandt eder, som I jo selv vide,
Men, Israelites, hear ye these words. Jesus the Nazarene, a man shown by God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know,
23 ham, som efter Guds bestemte Raadslutning og Forudviden var bleven forraadt, ham have I ved lovløses Haand korsfæstet og ihjelslaaet.
this man, having been designated (by the purpose and foreknowledge of God) a man delivered up, ye, having taken by lawless hands, killed, having crucified,
24 Men Gud oprejste ham, idet han gjorde Ende paa Dødens Veer, eftersom det ikke var muligt, at han kunde fastholdes af den.
whom God raised up, having loosed the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to be held by it.
25 Thi David siger med Henblik paa ham: „Jeg havde altid Herren for mine Øjne; thi han er ved min højre Haand, for at jeg ikke skal rokkes.
For David speaks for him: I beheld the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.
26 Derfor glædede mit Hjerte sig, og min Tunge jublede, ja, ogsaa mit Kød skal bo i Haab;
Because of this my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad. And moreover my flesh will also rest in hope.
27 thi du skal ikke lade min Sjæl tilbage i Dødsriget, ikke heller tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse. (Hadēs g86)
Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay. (Hadēs g86)
28 Du har kundgjort mig Livets Veje; du skal fylde mig med Glæde for dit Aasyn.‟
Thou made known to me the paths of life. Thou will fill me of joy with thy countenance.
29 I Mænd, Brødre! Jeg kan sige med Frimodighed til eder om Patriarken David, at han er baade død og begraven, og hans Grav er hos os indtil denne Dag.
Men, brothers, being permitted to speak to you with openness about the patriarch David, that he both perished and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us to this day.
30 Da han nu var en Profet og vidste, at Gud med Ed havde tilsvoret ham, at af hans Lænds Frugt skulde en sidde paa hans Trone,
Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, to raise the Christ from the fruit of his loins according to flesh to sit upon his throne.
31 talte han, forudseende, om Kristi Opstandelse, at hverken blev han ladt tilbage i Dødsriget, ej heller saa hans Kød Forraadnelse. (Hadēs g86)
Having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left behind in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay. (Hadēs g86)
32 Denne Jesus oprejste Gud, hvorom vi alle ere Vidner.
This Jesus, God raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 Efter at nu han ved Guds højre Haand er ophøjet og af Faderen har faaet den Helligaands Forjættelse, har han udgydt denne, hvilket I baade se og høre.
Therefore, exalted by the right hand of God, and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, he poured out this that ye now see and hear.
34 Thi David for ikke op til Himmelen; men han siger selv: „Herren sagde til min Herre: Sæt dig ved min højre Haand,
For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand
35 indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.‟
until I place thine enemies a footstool of thy feet.
36 Derfor skal hele Israels Hus vide for vist, at denne Jesus, hvem I korsfæstede, har Gud gjort baade til Herre og til Kristus.‟
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God has made him, this Jesus whom ye crucified, both Lord and Christ.
37 Men da de hørte dette, stak det dem i Hjertet, og de sagde til Peter og de øvrige Apostle: „I Mænd, Brødre! hvad skulle vi gøre?‟
Now having heard this, they were pierced in the heart, and said to Peter and the other apostles, Men, brothers, what will we do?
38 Men Peter sagde til dem: „Omvender eder, og hver af eder lade sig døbe paa Jesu Kristi Navn til eders Synders Forladelse; og I skulle faa den Helligaands Gave.
And Peter said to them, Repent ye, and be immersed each of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
39 Thi for eder er Forjættelsen og for eders Børn og for alle dem, som ere langt borte, saa mange som Herren vor Gud vil tilkalde.‟
For the promise is to you, and to your children, and to all those in afar, as many as the Lord our God may call.
40 Ogsaa med mange andre Ord vidnede han for dem og formanede dem, idet han sagde: „Lader eder frelse fra denne vanartede Slægt!‟
And with many more other words he testified and exhorted them, saying, Be saved from this crooked generation.
41 De, som nu toge imod hans Ord, bleve døbte; og der føjedes samme Dag omtrent tre Tusinde Sjæle til.
Indeed therefore those who received his word gladly, were immersed. And there were added in that day about three thousand souls.
42 Og de holdt fast ved Apostlenes Lære og Samfundet, Brødets Brydelse og Bønnerne.
And they were continuing steadfastly in the apostles doctrine, and in fellowship, and in the breaking of bread, and the prayers.
43 Men der kom Frygt over enhver Sjæl, og der skete mange Undere og Tegn ved Apostlene.
And fear developed in every soul. And many wonders and signs occurred through the apostles.
44 Og alle de troende holdt sig sammen og havde alle Ting fælles.
And all who believed were together, and had all things common.
45 Og de solgte deres Ejendom og Gods og delte det ud iblandt alle, efter hvad enhver havde Trang til.
And they sold properties and possessions, and divided them to all, according as any man had need.
46 Og idet de hver Dag vedholdende og endrægtigt kom i Helligdommen og brød Brødet hjemme, fik de deres Føde med Fryd og i Hjertets Enfold,
And continuing steadfastly, daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of nourishment in gladness and evenness of heart,
47 idet de lovede Gud og havde Yndest hos hele Folket. Men Herren føjede daglig til dem nogle, som lode sig frelse.
praising God, and having favor with the whole populace. And the Lord was adding to the church daily those being saved.
