Apostelenes gerninger 4
1 Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
And while they were speaking to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple guard, and the Sadducees, came upon them;
2 da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
being grieved that they taught the people, and announced, 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 committed them into custody to the next day; for it was now evening.
4 Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet paa Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
But many of those who had 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 the next day their rulers, elders, and scribes, gathered together at Jerusalem:
6 ligesaa Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
both Annas, the high priest, and Caiaphas; also John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the high priest's kindred.
7 Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: „Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?‟
And having set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power, or in what name, have you done this?
8 Da sagde Peter, fyldt med den Helligaand, til dem: „I Folkets Raadsherrer og Ældste!
Then Peter, full of 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 about the benefit conferred on the impotent man, by what means he is healed;
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 through the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God has raised from the dead: yes, by HIM this man stands before you hale.
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 which was set at nought by you builders, that is 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; for there is no other name under heaven given among men, by which we can 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 understood that they were illiterate men, and in private stations in life, they were astonished, and recollected their having 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 that was cured standing with them, they had nothing to say against it.
15 Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Raadet og raadførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
But having ordered them to withdraw out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
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 indeed a signal miracle has been wrought by them, is manifest to all the inhabitants of 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.‟
Nevertheless, that it may not spread any further among the people, let us charge them, with the severest threats, to 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 having called them, they charged them neither to speak nor teach any more 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 be just 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 which 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 having threatened them again, they dismissed them, on account of the people, finding nothing for which they might punish them; because all the people glorified God for that which was done;
22 Thi den Mand, paa hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve Aar gammel.
for the man on whom this miracle of healing was wrought, 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 being dismissed, they came to their own company, and related 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 accord to God, and said, Lord, thou art the God who didst make heaven and earth; and the sea, and all things that are in them:
25 du, som har sagt ved din Tjener Davids Mund: „Hvorfor fnyste Hedninger, og Folkeslag oplagde forfængelige Raad?
who didst say by the mouth of thy servant David, "Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede.‟
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers combined 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 of a truth, against thy holy Son Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the heathen, and the people of Israel,
28 for at gøre det, som din Haand og dit Raad forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
have combined to do what thy hand and thy counsel marked out before to be done.
29 Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
And now, O Lord, regard their threatenings; and give to thy servants to speak thy word with all freedom;
30 idet du udrækker din Haand til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn.‟
whilst thou stretchest out thy hand to heal, and signs and wonders are doing through the name of thy holy Son 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 while they were praying, the place in which they were assembled was shaken: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with freedom.
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.
Now the heart and soul of the multitude of believers was one: nor did any one call any of his possessions his own; but all things were common among them.
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 give forth their testimony concerning the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great kindness was among 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
Neither was there one indigent person among them; for as many as were proprietors of lands or houses, sold them, and brought the price of the things they sold,
35 og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
and laid it down at the feet of the Apostles: and distribution was made to each according to his 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 being interpreted, signifies a Son of Exhortation, ) a Levite, and by birth a Cyprian,
37 som ejede en Jordlod, solgte den og bragte Pengene og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder.
having an estate, sold it, and brought the money and laid it down at the feet of the Apostles.
