Apostelenes gerninger 21
1 Men da vi havde revet os løs fra dem og vare afsejlede, droge vi lige til Kos, og den næste Dag til Rodus og derfra til Patara.
And it came to pass that, after we had separated from them, we put to sea, and came by a straight course to Cos, and on the following day, to Rhodes, and thence to Patara.
2 Og da vi fandt et Skib, som skulde gaa lige til Fønikien, gik vi om Bord og afsejlede.
And finding a ship that was going to Phenicia, we embarked, and put to sea.
3 Men da vi havde faaet Kypern i Sigte og vare komne den forbi til venstre for os, sejlede vi til Syrien og landede i Tyrus; thi der skulde Skibet losse sin Ladning.
And we came in view of Cyprus; and, leaving it to the left, we sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to put off her lading.
4 Og vi opsøgte Disciplene og bleve der syv Dage; disse sagde ved Aanden til Paulus, at han ikke skulde drage op til Jerusalem.
And we remained there seven days, after finding the disciples. These urged Paul, by the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
5 Men da vi havde tilendebragt disse Dage, droge vi derfra og rejste videre, idet de alle, med Hustruer og Børn, ledsagede os uden for Byen; og efter at have knælet paa Strandbredden og holdt Bøn
And when these days were completed, we went forth, and continued our journey, they all, with their wives and children, conducting us out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
6 toge vi Afsked med hverandre; og vi gik om Bord i Skibet, men de vendte tilbage til deres Hjem.
And when we had bid each other farewell, we embarked, and they returned home.
7 Men vi fuldendte Sejladsen og kom fra Tyrus til Ptolemais, og vi hilste paa Brødrene og bleve een Dag hos dem.
And completing the voyage from Tyre, we arrived at Ptolemais: and having saluted the brethren, we remained with them one day.
8 Og den følgende Dag droge vi derfra og kom til Kæsarea, og vi gik ind i Evangelisten Filips Hus, han, som var en af de syv, og bleve hos ham.
On the following day we departed, and came to Cæsarea, and went into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and we remained with him.
9 Men denne havde fire ugifte Døtre, som profeterede.
This man had four virgin daughters, who had the gift of prophesy.
10 Men da vi bleve der flere Dage, kom der en Profet ned fra Judæa ved Navn Agabus.
And as we remained there many days, there came down, from Judea, a certain prophet, named Agabus;
11 Og han kom til os og tog Paulus's Bælte og bandt sine egne Fødder og Hænder og sagde: „Dette siger den Helligaand: Den Mand, hvem dette Bælte tilhører, skulle Jøderne binde saaledes i Jerusalem og overgive i Hedningers Hænder.‟
and he came to us, and taking Paul’s girdle, he bound his own hands and feet, and said: Thus says the Holy Spirit; the Jews that are in Jerusalem will so bind the man to whom this girdle belongs; and they will deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
12 Men da vi hørte dette, bade saavel vi som de der paa Stedet ham om ikke at drage op til Jerusalem.
And when we heard these things, we, and those of that place also, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
13 Da svarede Paulus: „Hvad gøre I, at I græde og gøre mit Hjerte modløst? thi jeg er rede til ikke alene at bindes, men ogsaa at dø i Jerusalem for den Herres Jesu Navns Skyld.‟
But Paul answered: What do you effect by weeping, and breaking my heart? For I am ready, not only to be bound, but also to suffer death in Jerusalem, for the name of the Lord Jesus.
14 Da han nu ikke vilde lade sig overtale, bleve vi stille og sagde: „Herrens Villie ske!‟
And as he would not be persuaded, we kept silence, and said: The will of the Lord be done.
15 Men efter disse Dage gjorde vi os rede og droge op til Jerusalem.
And after these days we prepared for our journey, and went up to Jerusalem.
16 Og ogsaa nogle af Disciplene fra Kæsarea rejste med os og bragte os til Mnason, en Mand fra Kypern, en gammel Discipel, hos hvem vi skulde have Herberge.
There went with us also some of the disciples from Cæsarea, who took with them, Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
17 Da vi nu kom til Jerusalem, modtoge Brødrene os med Glæde.
And when we came to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
18 Og Dagen efter gik Paulus ind med os til Jakob, og alle de Ældste kom derhen.
And, on the following day, Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.
19 Og da han havde hilst paa dem, fortalte han Stykke for Stykke, hvad Gud havde gjort iblandt Hedningerne ved hans Tjeneste.
And when he had saluted them, he related, in every particular, the things which. God had done among the Gentiles by his ministry.
20 Men da de hørte dette, priste de Gud, og de sagde til ham: „Broder! du ser, hvor mange Tusinder der er af Jøderne, som have antaget Troen, og de ere alle nidkære for Loven.
And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him: You see, brother, how many myriads of the Jews there are that believe, and they are all zealous for the law.
21 Men de have hørt om dig, at du lærer alle Jøderne ude iblandt Hedningerne at falde fra Moses og siger, at de ikke skulle omskære Børnene, ej heller vandre efter Skikkene.
And they have heard it reported of you, that you teach all the Jews that are among the Gentiles to apostatize from Moses; commanding them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk according to the customs.
22 Hvad er der da at gøre? Der maa sikkert komme mange Mennesker sammen; thi de ville faa at høre, at du er kommen.
What, then, is to be done? A multitude must certainly come together; for they will hear that you have come.
23 Gør derfor dette, som vi sige dig: Vi have her fire Mænd, som have et Løfte paa sig.
Do, therefore, this which we advise you. We have four men who have a vow on them.
24 Tag dem med dig, og rens dig sammen med dem, og gør Omkostningen for dem, for at de kunne lade deres Hoved rage; saa ville alle erkende, at det, som de have hørt om dig, ikke har noget paa sig, men at du ogsaa selv vandrer saaledes, at du holder Loven.
Take them, and join with them in their vow of abstinence, and pay their expenses, in order that they may shave their heads; and all will know that the things which they have heard reported of you are nothing; but that you yourself also walk orderly, and keep the law.
25 Men om de Hedninger, som ere blevne troende, have vi udsendt en Skrivelse med den Afgørelse, at de intet saadant skulle holde, men kun vogte sig for Afgudsofferkød og Blod og det kvalte og Utugt.‟
But with respect to the Gentiles that believe, we have written; having decided that they should observe no such thing; but that they keep themselves from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from what is strangled, and from lewdness.
26 Da tog Paulus Mændene med sig næste Dag, og efter at have renset sig sammen med dem gik han ind i Helligdommen og anmeldte Renselsesdagenes Udløb, da Offeret blev bragt for hver enkelt af dem.
Then Paul took the men, and, on the following day, joining in their vow of abstinence, he entered the temple, and gave notice when the days of abstinence would be completed, at which time an offering should be made for each of them.
27 Men da de syv Dage næsten vare til Ende, satte Jøderne fra Asien, som havde set ham i Helligdommen, hele Mængden i Oprør og lagde Haand paa ham
And when the seven days were about to be completed, the Jews from Asia, seeing him in the temple, threw all the multitude into confusion, and laid their hands on him,
28 og raabte: „I israelitiske Mænd, kommer til Hjælp! Denne er det Menneske, som alle Vegne lærer alle imod Folket og Loven og dette Sted; og tilmed har han ogsaa ført Grækere ind i Helligdommen og gjort dette hellige Sted urent; ‟
crying out: Men of Israel, help! this is the man who teaches all men every where against this people, and the law, and this place: and besides, he has even brought Greeks into the temple, and defiled this holy place.
29 de havde nemlig i Forvejen set Efesieren Trofimus i Staden sammen med ham, og ham mente de, at Paulus havde ført ind i Helligdommen.
For, before this time, they had seen Trophimus, the Ephesian, with him in the city, whom they supposed Paul had brought into the temple.
30 Og hele Staden kom i Bevægelse, og Folket stimlede sammen; og de grebe Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Helligdommen, og straks bleve Dørene lukkede.
And the whole city was moved; and the people ran together, and, seizing Paul, they dragged him out of the temple, and the gates were immediately closed.
31 Og da de søgte at slaa ham ihjel, gik der Melding op til Krigsøversten for Vagtafdelingen, at hele Jerusalem var i Oprør.
And while they were seeking to kill him, report was brought to the officer of the band, that the whole of Jerusalem was in an uproar.
32 Han tog straks Stridsmænd og Høvedsmænd med sig og ilede ned imod dem. Men da de saa Krigsøversten og Stridsmændene, holdt de op at slaa Paulus.
And he immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. When they saw the officer and the soldiers, they ceased beating Paul.
33 Da traadte Krigsøversten til, greb ham og befalede, at han skulde bindes med to Lænker, og han spurgte, hvem han var, og hvad han havde gjort.
Then the officer came near and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains, and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
34 Da raabte nogle i Skaren eet, andre et andet til ham; men da han ikke kunde faa noget paalideligt at vide paa Grund af Larmen, befalede han at føre ham ind i Borgen.
And some in the multitude cried out one thing, and some another. But not being able to obtain any certain knowledge on account of the tumult, he commanded him to be led into the fortress.
35 Men da han kom paa Trappen, gik det saaledes, at han maatte bæres af Stridsmændene paa Grund af Skarens Voldsomhed;
And when he was on the steps, it happened that he was carried by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the multitude.
36 thi Folkemængden fulgte efter og raabte: „Bort med ham!‟
For the greater part of the people followed, crying out: Away with him!
37 Og da Paulus var ved at blive ført ind i Borgen, siger han til Krigsøversten: „Er det mig tilladt at sige noget til dig?‟ Men han sagde: „Forstaar du Græsk?
But as Paul was about to be led into the fortress, he said to the officer: May I speak to you? He replied: Do you understand Greek?
38 Er du da ikke den Ægypter, som for nogen Tid siden gjorde Oprør og førte de fire Tusinde Stimænd ud i Ørkenen?‟
Are you not that Egyptian, who, before these days, made an insurrection, and led out into the wilderness four thousand men of the Assassins?
39 Men Paulus sagde: „Jeg er en jødisk Mand fra Tarsus, Borger i en ikke ubekendt By i Kilikien. Men jeg beder dig, tilsted mig at tale til Folket!‟
But Paul replied: I am a Jew of Tarsus of Cilicia, a citizen of no unknown city; and I beseech you, permit me to speak to the people.
40 Og da han tilstedte det, stod Paulus frem paa Trappen og slog til Lyd med Haanden for Folket. Men da der var blevet dyb Tavshed, tiltalte han dem i det hebraiske Sprog og sagde:
And when he had given him permission, Paul, standing upon the steps, waved his hand to the people. And when there was great silence, he addressed them in the Hebrew language, saying:
