Apostelenes gerninger 4
1 Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
While they were speaking to the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
being vexed because they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Og de lagde Haand paa dem og satte dem i Forvaring til den følgende Dag; thi det var allerede Aften.
And they laid hands on them, and put them in prison till the next day, for it was already evening.
4 Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet paa Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
But many of those who heard the word, believed: and the number of the men was about five thousand.
5 Men det skete Dagen derefter, at deres Raadsherrer og Ældste og skriftkloge forsamlede sig i Jerusalem,
And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers and elders and scribes,
6 ligesaa Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
and Annas the chief priest, and Caiaphas and John and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the chief priest, met together in Jerusalem.
7 Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: „Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?‟
And when they had made them stand in the midst, they asked: By what power, or by what name have you done this?
8 Da sagde Peter, fyldt med den Helligaand, til dem: „I Folkets Raadsherrer og Ældste!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: Rulers of the people, and elders of Israel,
9 Naar vi i Dag forhøres angaaende en Velgerning imod en vanfør Mand, om hvorved han er bleven helbredet,
if we are this day examined with respect unto the good deed done to the infirm man, by what means he has been saved,
10 da skal det være eder alle og hele Israels Folk vitterligt, at ved Jesu Kristi Nazaræerens Navn, hvem I have korsfæstet, hvem Gud har oprejst fra de døde, ved dette Navn er det, at denne staar rask her for eders Øjne.
be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him does this man stand before you in health.
11 Han er den Sten, som blev agtet for intet af eder, I Bygningsmænd, men som er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten.
This is the stone that was rejected with contempt by you builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Og der er ikke Frelse i nogen anden; thi der er ikke noget andet Navn under Himmelen, givet iblandt Mennesker, ved hvilket vi skulle blive frelste.‟
And there is salvation in no other; nor, indeed, is there another name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved.
13 Men da de saa Peters og Johannes's Frimodighed og kunde mærke, at de vare ulærde Mænd og Lægfolk, forundrede de sig, og de kendte dem, at de havde været med Jesus.
Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and plain men, they were astonished; and they also recognized them, that they had been with Jesus;
14 Og da de saa Manden, som var helbredet, staa hos dem, havde de intet at sige derimod.
and, seeing the man who had been cured standing with them, they had nothing to say in reply.
15 Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Raadet og raadførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
But, having commanded them to go aside out of the Sanhedrim, they consulted with one another,
16 „Hvad skulle vi gøre med disse Mennesker? thi at et vitterligt Tegn er sket ved dem, det er aabenbart for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, og vi kunne ikke nægte det.
saying: What shall we do with these men? For that an evident sign has been done by them, is manifest to all that dwell in Jerusalem, and we can not deny it.
17 Men for at det ikke skal komme videre ud iblandt Folket, da lader os true dem til ikke mere at tale til noget Menneske i dette Navn.‟
But that it may spread no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, so that they speak no more to any man in this name.
18 Og de kaldte dem ind og forbøde dem aldeles at tale eller lære i Jesu Navn.
And they called them in, and commanded them to speak no more at all, nor to teach, in the name of Jesus.
19 Men Peter og Johannes svarede og sagde til dem: „Dømmer selv, om det er ret for Gud at lyde eder mere end Gud.
But Peter and John answering them, said: Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, judge you.
20 Thi vi kunne ikke lade være at tale om det, som vi have set og hørt.‟
For we can not but speak the things that we have seen and heard.
21 Men de truede dem end mere og løslode dem, da de ikke kunde udfinde, hvorledes de skulde straffe dem, for Folkets Skyld; thi alle priste Gud for det, som var sket.
And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing for which they could punish them, because of the people; for they all glorified God on account of that which had been done;
22 Thi den Mand, paa hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve Aar gammel.
for the man on whom this sign of healing had been performed was more than forty years old.
23 Da de nu vare løsladte, kom de til deres egne og fortalte dem alt, hvad Ypperstepræsterne og de Ældste havde sagt til dem.
And having been released, they went to their own, and told all that the chief priests and elders had said to them.
24 Men da de hørte dette, opløftede de endrægtigt Røsten til Gud og sagde: „Herre, du, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alle Ting, som ere i dem,
And when they heard it, they lifted up their voice with one consent to God, and said: Lord, thou art God, who didst make the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all things that are in them; who, by the mouth of David thy servant, didst say,
25 du, som har sagt ved din Tjener Davids Mund: „Hvorfor fnyste Hedninger, og Folkeslag oplagde forfængelige Raad?
Why did the heathen rage, and the people devise vain things?
26 Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede.‟
The kings of the land stood up, and the rulers met together against the Lord and against his anointed.
27 Ja, de have i Sandhed forsamlet sig i denne Stad imod din hellige Tjener Jesus, hvem du har salvet, baade Herodes og Pontius Pilatus tillige med Hedningerne og Israels Folkestammer
For, in truth, against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou didst anoint, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, did meet together,
28 for at gøre det, som din Haand og dit Raad forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
to do whatever thy hand and thy counsel determined to be done.
29 Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to thy servants that they may speak thy word with all boldness,
30 idet du udrækker din Haand til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn.‟
by stretching out thy hand to heal, that both signs and wonders may be done through the name of thy holy child Jesus.
31 Og da de havde bedet, rystedes Stedet, hvor de vare forsamlede; og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligaand, og de talte Guds Ord med Frimodighed.
And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Men de troendes Mængde havde eet Hjerte og een Sjæl; og end ikke een kaldte noget af det, han ejede, sit eget; men de havde alle Ting fælles.
And the multitude of believers were of one heart and of one soul; and no one said that any part of his possessions was his own; but they had all things in common.
33 Og med stor Kraft aflagde Apostlene Vidnesbyrdet om den Herres Jesu Opstandelse, og der var stor Naade over dem alle.
And with great power did the apostles bear testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was on them all.
34 Thi der var end ikke nogen trængende iblandt dem; thi alle de, som vare Ejere af Jordstykker eller Huse, solgte dem og bragte Salgssummerne
Nor, indeed, was there any needy person among them; for as many as were owners of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the prices of what had been sold,
35 og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
and laid them down at the feet of the apostles; and distribution was made to every one as he had need.
36 Og Josef, som af Apostlene fik Tilnavnet Barnabas, (det er udlagt: Trøstens Søn), en Levit, født paa Kypern,
And Joses, who, by the apostles, was surnamed Barnabas, (which name, when translated, is, Son of consolation, ) a Levite, by birth a Cyprian,
37 som ejede en Jordlod, solgte den og bragte Pengene og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder.
having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
