Apostelenes gerninger 3
1 Men Peter og Johannes gik op i Helligdommen ved Bedetimen, den niende Time.
One day, as Peter and John were going up into the Temple Courts for the three o’clock Prayers, a man, who had been lame from his birth, was being carried by.
2 Og en Mand, som var lam fra Moders Liv af, blev baaren frem; ham satte de daglig ved den Dør til Helligdommen, som kaldtes den skønne, for at han kunde bede dem, som gik ind i Helligdommen, om Almisse.
This man used to be set down every day at the gate of the Temple called ‘the Beautiful Gate,’ to beg of those who went in.
3 Da han saa Peter og Johannes, idet de vilde gaa ind i Helligdommen, bad han om at faa en Almisse.
Seeing Peter and John on the point of entering, he asked them to give him something.
4 Da saa Peter tillige med Johannes fast paa ham og sagde: „Se paa os!‟
Peter fixed his eyes on him, and so did John, and then Peter said: “Look at us.”
5 Og han gav Agt paa dem, efterdi han ventede at faa noget af dem.
The man was all attention, expecting to get something from them;
6 Men Peter sagde: „Sølv og Guld ejer jeg ikke, men hvad jeg har, det giver jeg dig: I Jesu Kristi Nazaræerens Navn staa op og gaa!‟
but Peter added: “I have no gold or silver, but I give you what I have. In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I bid you walk.”
7 Og han greb ham ved den højre Haand og rejste ham op.
Grasping the lame man by the right hand, Peter lifted him up. Instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong,
8 Men straks bleve hans Ben og Ankler stærke, og han sprang op og stod og gik omkring og gik med dem ind i Helligdommen, hvor han gik omkring og sprang og lovede Gud.
and, leaping up, he stood and began to walk about, and then went with them into the Temple Courts, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 Og hele Folket saa ham gaa omkring og love Gud.
All the people saw him walking about and praising God;
10 Og de kendte ham som den, der havde siddet ved den skønne Port til Helligdommen for at faa Almisse; og de bleve fulde af Rædsel og Forfærdelse over det, som var timedes ham.
and, when they recognised him as the man who used to sit begging at the Beautiful Gate of the Temple, they were utterly astonished and amazed at what had happened to him.
11 Medens han nu holdt fast ved Peter og Johannes, løb alt Folket rædselsslaget sammen om dem i den Søjlegang, som kaldes Salomons.
While the man still clung to Peter and John, the people all quickly gathered round them in the Colonnade named after Solomon, in the greatest astonishment.
12 Men da Peter saa det, talte han til Folket: „I israelitiske Mænd! Hvorfor undre I eder over dette? eller hvorfor stirre I paa os, som om vi af egen Magt eller Gudfrygtighed havde gjort, at han kan gaa?
On seeing this, Peter said to the people: “Men of Israel, why are you surprised at this? and why do you stare at us, as though we, by any power or piety of our own, had enabled this man to walk?
13 Abrahams og Isaks og Jakobs Gud, vore Fædres Gud, har herliggjort sin Tjener Jesus, hvem I prisgave og fornægtede for Pilatus, da han dømte, at han skulde løslades.
The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our ancestors, has done honour to his Servant Jesus — him whom you gave up and disowned before Pilate, when he had decided to set him free.
14 Men I fornægtede den hellige og retfærdige og bade om, at en Morder maatte skænkes eder.
You, I say, disowned the Holy and Righteous One, and asked for the release of a murderer!
15 Men Livets Fyrste sloge I ihjel, hvem Gud oprejste fra de døde, hvorom vi ere Vidner.
The very Guide to Life you put to death! But God raised him from the dead — and of that we are ourselves witnesses.
16 Og i Troen paa hans Navn har hans Navn styrket denne, hvem I se og kende, og Troen, som virkedes ved ham, har givet denne hans Førlighed i Paasyn af eder alle.
And it is by faith in the Name of Jesus, that this man, whom you all see and know, has — by his Name — been made strong. Yes, it is the faith inspired by Jesus that has made this complete cure of the man, before the eyes of you all.
17 Og nu, Brødre! jeg ved, at I handlede i Uvidenhed, ligesom ogsaa eders Raadsherrer.
And yet, my Brothers, I know that you acted as you did from ignorance, and your rulers also.
18 Men Gud har saaledes fuldbyrdet, hvad han forud forkyndte ved alle Profeternes Mund, at hans Salvede skulde lide.
But it was in this way that God fulfilled all that he had long ago foretold, as to the sufferings of his Christ, by the lips of all the Prophets.
19 Derfor fatter et andet Sind og vender om, for at eders Synder maa blive udslettede, for at Vederkvægelsens Tider maa komme fra Herrens Aasyn,
Therefore, repent and turn, that your sins may be wiped away; so that happier times may come from the Lord himself,
20 og han maa sende den for eder bestemte Kristus, Jesus,
and that he may send you, in Jesus, your long-appointed Christ.
21 hvem Himmelen skal modtage indtil alle Tings Genoprettelses Tider, hvorom Gud har talt ved sine hellige Profeters Mund fra de ældste Dage. (aiōn g165)
But Heaven must be his home, until the days of the Universal Restoration, of which God has spoken by the lips of his holy Prophets from the very first. (aiōn g165)
22 Moses sagde: „En Profet skal Herren eders Gud oprejse eder af eders Brødre ligesom mig; ham skulle I høre i alt, hvad han end vil tale til eder.
Moses himself said — ‘The Lord your God will raise up from among your brothers a Prophet, as he raised me. To him you will listen whenever he speaks to you.
23 Men det skal ske, hver Sjæl, som ikke hører den Profet, skal udryddes af Folket.‟
And it shall be that should any one among the people not listen to that Prophet, he will be utterly destroyed.’
24 Men ogsaa alle Profeterne, fra Samuel af og derefter, saa mange som talte, have ogsaa forkyndt disse Dage.
Yes, and all the Prophets from Samuel onwards, and all their successors who had a message to deliver, told of these days.
25 I ere Profeternes Sønner og Sønner af den Pagt, som Gud sluttede med vore Fædre, da han sagde til Abraham: „Og i din Sæd skulle alle Jordens Slægter velsignes.‟
You yourselves are the heirs of the Prophets, and heirs, too, of the Covenant which God made with your ancestors, when he said to Abraham — ‘In your descendants will all the nations of the earth be blessed.’
26 For eder først har Gud oprejst sin Tjener og sendt ham for at velsigne eder, naar enhver af eder vender om fra sin Ondskab.‟
For you, first, God raised up his Servant, and sent him to bless you, by turning each one of you from his wicked ways.”
