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, at our sailing, having been parted from them, having run direct, we came to Coos, and the succeeding [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 having found a ship passing over to Phenicia, having gone on board, we sailed,
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 having discovered Cyprus, and having left it on the left, we were sailing to Syria, and did land at Tyre, for there was the ship discharging the 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 having found out the disciples, we tarried there seven days, and they said to Paul, through 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
but when it came that we completed the days, having gone forth, we went on, all bringing us on the way, with women and children, unto the outside of the city, and having bowed the knees upon the shore, we prayed,
6 toge vi Afsked med hverandre; og vi gik om Bord i Skibet, men de vendte tilbage til deres Hjem.
and having embraced one another, we embarked in the ship, and they returned to their own friends.
7 Men vi fuldendte Sejladsen og kom fra Tyrus til Ptolemais, og vi hilste paa Brødrene og bleve een Dag hos dem.
And we, having finished the course, from Tyre came down to Ptolemais, and having saluted the brethren, we remained one day with them;
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.
and on the morrow Paul and his company having gone forth, we came to Caesarea, and having entered into the house of Philip the evangelist — who is of the seven — we remained with him,
9 Men denne havde fire ugifte Døtre, som profeterede.
and this one had four daughters, virgins, prophesying.
10 Men da vi bleve der flere Dage, kom der en Profet ned fra Judæa ved Navn Agabus.
And we remaining many more days, there came down a certain one from Judea, a prophet, by name 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 having come unto us, and having taken up the girdle of Paul, having bound also his own hands and feet, said, 'Thus saith the Holy Spirit, The man whose is this girdle — so shall the Jews in Jerusalem bind, and they shall deliver [him] up to the hands of nations.'
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 called upon [him] — both we, and those of that place — 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.‟
and Paul answered, 'What do ye — weeping, and crushing mine heart? for I, not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem, am ready, 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 he not being persuaded, we were silent, saying, '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, having taken [our] vessels, we were going 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.
and there went also of the disciples from Caesarea with us, bringing with them him with whom we may lodge, a certain Mnason of Cyprus, an aged disciple.
17 Da vi nu kom til Jerusalem, modtoge Brødrene os med Glæde.
And we having come to Jerusalem, the brethren did gladly receive us,
18 Og Dagen efter gik Paulus ind med os til Jakob, og alle de Ældste kom derhen.
and on the morrow Paul was going in with us unto James, all the elders also came,
19 Og da han havde hilst paa dem, fortalte han Stykke for Stykke, hvad Gud havde gjort iblandt Hedningerne ved hans Tjeneste.
and having saluted them, he was declaring, one by one, each of the things God did among the nations through his ministration,
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 they having heard, were glorifying the Lord. They said also to him, 'Thou seest, brother, how many myriads there are of Jews who have believed, and all are zealous of 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 are instructed concerning thee, that apostasy from Moses thou dost teach to all Jews among the nations, saying — Not to circumcise the children, nor after the customs to walk;
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 it? certainly the multitude it behoveth to come together, for they will hear that thou hast come.
23 Gør derfor dette, som vi sige dig: Vi have her fire Mænd, som have et Løfte paa sig.
'This, therefore, do that we say to thee: We have four men having a vow on themselves,
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.
these having taken, be purified with them, and be at expence with them, that they may shave the head, and all may know that the things of which they have been instructed concerning thee are nothing, but thou dost walk — thyself also — the law keeping.
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.‟
'And concerning those of the nations who have believed, we have written, having given judgment, that they observe no such thing, except to keep themselves both from idol-sacrifices, and blood, and a strangled thing, and whoredom.'
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, having taken the men, on the following day, with them having purified himself, was entering into the temple, announcing the fulfilment of the days of the purification, till the offering was offered for each one 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, as the seven days were about to be fully ended, the Jews from Asia having beheld him in the temple, were stirring up all the multitude, and they laid hands upon 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, Israelites, help! this is the man who, against the people, and the law, and this place, all everywhere is teaching; and further, also, Greeks he brought into the temple, and hath 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 they had seen before Trophimus, the Ephesian, in the city with him, whom they were supposing that Paul 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.
All the city also was moved and there was a running together of the people, and having laid hold on Paul, they were drawing him out of the temple, and immediately were the doors shut,
31 Og da de søgte at slaa ham ihjel, gik der Melding op til Krigsøversten for Vagtafdelingen, at hele Jerusalem var i Oprør.
and they seeking to kill him, a rumour came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem hath been thrown into confusion,
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.
who, at once, having taken soldiers and centurions, ran down upon them, and they having seen the chief captain and the soldiers, did leave off 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 chief captain, having come nigh, took him, and commanded [him] to be bound with two chains, and was inquiring who he may be, and what it is he hath been doing,
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 were crying out one thing, and some another, among the multitude, and not being able to know the certainty because of the tumult, he commanded him to be carried to the castle,
35 Men da han kom paa Trappen, gik det saaledes, at han maatte bæres af Stridsmændene paa Grund af Skarens Voldsomhed;
and when he came upon the steps, it happened he was borne by the soldiers, because of the violence of the multitude,
36 thi Folkemængden fulgte efter og raabte: „Bort med ham!‟
for the crowd of the people was following after, crying, '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?
And Paul being about to be led into the castle, saith to the chief captain, 'Is it permitted to me to say anything unto thee?' and he said, 'Greek dost thou know?
38 Er du da ikke den Ægypter, som for nogen Tid siden gjorde Oprør og førte de fire Tusinde Stimænd ud i Ørkenen?‟
art not thou, then, the Egyptian who before these days made an uprising, and did lead into the desert the 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!‟
And Paul said, 'I, indeed, am a man, a Jew, of Tarsus of Cilicia, of no mean city a citizen; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto 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 he having given him leave, Paul having stood upon the stairs, did beckon with the hand to the people, and there having been a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew dialect, saying:
