Apostelenes gerninger 5
1 Men en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, tillige med Safira, hans Hustru, solgte en Ejendom
But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold property,
2 og stak med sin Hustrus Vidende noget af Værdien til Side og bragte en Del deraf og lagde den for Apostlenes Fødder.
and kept back from the price, his wife also having joint awareness. And having brought a certain part, he placed it at the apostles' feet.
3 Men Peter sagde: „Ananias! hvorfor har Satan fyldt dit Hjerte, saa du har løjet imod den Helligaand og stukket noget til Side af Summen for Jordstykket?
But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart for thee to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back from the price of the land?
4 Var det ikke dit, saa længe du ejede det, og stod ikke det, som det blev solgt for, til din Raadighed? Hvorfor har du dog sat dig denne Gerning for i dit Hjerte? Du har ikke løjet for Mennesker, men for Gud.‟
While it remained, did it not remain to thee? And after it was sold, it was in thine authority. Why is it that thou have placed this matter in thy heart? Thou have not lied to men, but to God.
5 Men da Ananias hørte disse Ord, faldt han om og udaandede. Og der kom stor Frygt over alle, som hørte det.
And Ananias hearing these words, after falling down he expired. And great fear developed in all who heard these things.
6 Men de unge Mænd stode op og lagde ham til Rette og bare ham ud og begravede ham.
And after rising the young men wrapped him, and having carried him out they buried him.
7 Men det skete omtrent tre Timer derefter, da kom hans Hustru ind uden at vide, hvad der var sket.
And it came to pass after an interval of three hours, his wife also came in, not knowing that which happened.
8 Da sagde Peter til hende: „Sig mig, om I solgte Jordstykket til den Pris?‟ Og hun sagde: „Ja, til den Pris.‟
And Peter responded to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
9 Men Peter sagde til hende: „Hvorfor ere I dog blevne enige om at friste Herrens Aand? Se, deres Fødder, som have begravet din Mand, ere for Døren, og de skulle bære dig ud.‟
But Peter said to her, How is it that it was agreed by you to challenge the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
10 Men hun faldt straks om for hans Fødder og udaandede. Men da de unge Mænd kom ind, fandt de hende død, og de bare hende ud og begravede hende hos hendes Mand.
And immediately she fell down at his feet and expired. And after coming in the young men found her dead, and having carried her out, they buried her by her husband.
11 Og stor Frygt kom over hele Menigheden og over alle, som hørte dette.
And great fear developed in the whole church, and in all who heard these things.
12 Men ved Apostlenes Hænder skete der mange Tegn og Undere iblandt Folket; og de vare alle endrægtigt sammen i Salomons Søjlegang.
And by the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders happened among the people. And they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
13 Men af de andre turde ingen holde sig til dem; dog priste Folket dem højt,
But of the rest no man dared join them, but the people magnified them.
14 og der føjedes stedse flere troende til Herren, Skarer baade af Mænd og Kvinder,
And more who believe were added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women,
15 saa at de endogsaa bare de syge ud paa Gaderne og lagde dem paa Senge og Løjbænke, for at naar Peter kom, endog blot hans Skygge kunde overskygge nogen af dem.
so as to bring the feeble to the thoroughfares, and to place them on cots and mats, so that while coming, the shadow of Peter might at the least overshadow some of them.
16 Ja, selv fra Byerne i Jerusalems Omegn strømmede Mængden sammen og bragte syge og saadanne, som vare plagede af urene Aander, og de bleve alle helbredede.
And also the populace of the cities round about came together to Jerusalem bringing the feeble, and those tormented by unclean spirits, who were all healed.
17 Men Ypperstepræsten stod op samt alle de, som holdt med ham, nemlig Saddukæernes Parti, og de bleve fulde af Nidkærhed.
But after rising up, the high priest and all those with him (being the sect of the Sadducees) were filled of envy.
18 Og de lagde Haand paa Apostlene og satte dem i offentlig Forvaring.
And they threw their hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
19 Men en Herrens Engel aabnede Fængselets Døre om Natten og førte dem ud og sagde:
But an agent of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and after leading them out, he said,
20 „Gaar hen og træder frem og taler i Helligdommen alle disse Livets Ord for Folket!‟
Go ye, and after standing in the temple, speak to the people all the sayings of this Life.
21 Men da de havde hørt dette, gik de ved Daggry ind i Helligdommen og lærte. Men Ypperstepræsten og de, som holdt med ham, kom og sammenkaldte Raadet og alle Israels Børns Ældste og sendte Bud til Fængselet, at de skulde føres frem.
And having heard, they entered into the temple at early morning, and taught. But the high priest having arrived, and those with him, they called the council together, and all the senate of the sons of Israel. And they sent to the prison for them to be brought.
22 Men da Tjenerne kom derhen, fandt de dem ikke i Fængselet; og de kom tilbage og meldte det og sagde:
But the subordinates who came did not find them in the prison. And having returned, they reported,
23 „Fængselet fandt vi tillukket helt forsvarligt, og Vogterne staaende ved Dørene; men da vi lukkede op, fandt vi ingen derinde.‟
saying, We found the prison indeed shut in all security, and the guards standing before the doors, but after opening, we found no man inside.
24 Men da Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Ypperstepræsterne hørte disse Ord, bleve de tvivlraadige om dem, hvad dette skulde blive til.
Now when they heard these words, the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests, were perplexed about them, whatever this would become.
25 Men der kom en og meldte dem: „Se, de Mænd, som I satte i Fængselet, staa i Helligdommen og lære Folket.‟
But a certain man who arrived, reported to them, Behold, the men whom ye put in the prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
26 Da gik Høvedsmanden hen med Tjenerne og hentede dem, dog ikke med Magt; thi de frygtede for Folket, at de skulde blive stenede.
Then after departing, the captain with the subordinates brought them, not with violence, for they feared the people, lest they would be stoned.
27 Men da de havde hentet dem, stillede de dem for Raadet; og Ypperstepræsten spurgte dem og sagde:
And having brought them, they placed them in the council. And the high priest demanded them,
28 „Vi bøde eder alvorligt, at I ikke maatte lære i dette Navn, og se, I have fyldt Jerusalem med eders Lære, og I ville bringe dette Menneskes Blod over os!‟
saying, Did we not command by an order for you not to teach in this name? And behold, ye have filled Jerusalem of your doctrine, and intend to bring upon us this man's blood.
29 Men Peter og Apostlene svarede og sagde: „Man bør adlyde Gud mere end Mennesker.
And Peter and the apostles having answered, they said, We must obey God rather than men.
30 Vore Fædres Gud oprejste Jesus, hvem I hængte paa et Træ og sloge ihjel.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye murdered, having hung on a tree.
31 Ham har Gud ved sin højre Haand ophøjet til en Fyrste og Frelser for at give Israel Omvendelse og Syndernes Forladelse.
God exalted this man with his right hand, a Pathfinder and a Savior to give repentance to Israel and remission of sins.
32 Og vi ere hans Vidner om disse Ting, ligesom ogsaa den Helligaand, som Gud har givet dem, der adlyde ham.‟
And we are his witnesses of these things, and also the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey him.
33 Men da de hørte dette, skar det dem i Hjertet, og de raadsloge om at slaa dem ihjel.
And when they heard this, they were as being split with a saw, and wanted to annihilate them.
34 Men der rejste sig i Raadet en Farisæer ved Navn Gamaliel, en Lovlærer, højt agtet af hele Folket, og han bød, at de skulde lade Mændene træde lidt udenfor.
But after standing up in the council, a certain Pharisee named Gamaliel, a law teacher, esteemed by all the people, commanded to make the apostles be outside a little while.
35 Og han sagde til dem: „I israelitiske Mænd! ser eder vel for, hvad I gøre med disse Mennesker.
And he said to them, Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves what ye are going to do against these men.
36 Thi for nogen Tid siden fremstod Theudas, som udgav sig selv for at være noget, og et Antal af omtrent fire Hundrede Mænd sluttede sig til ham; han blev slaaet ihjel, og alle de, som adløde ham, adsplittedes og bleve til intet.
For before these days Theudas rose up saying himself to be somebody, to whom a number of men, about four hundred, bonded themselves, who was killed. And all, as many as were persuaded by him, were dispersed and developed into nothing.
37 Efter ham fremstod Judas Galilæeren i Skatteindskrivningens Dage og fik en Flok Mennesker til at følge sig. Ogsaa han omkom, og alle de, som adløde ham, bleve adspredte.
After this man Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the registration, and drew a considerable crowd behind him. That man was also destroyed, and all, as many as were persuaded by him, were scattered.
38 Og nu siger jeg eder: Holder eder fra disse Mennesker, og lader dem fare; thi dersom dette Raad eller dette Værk er af Mennesker, bliver det til intet;
And now I say to you, keep away from these men, and let them go, because if the project or this work is from men, it will be overthrown,
39 men er det af Gud, kunne I ikke gøre dem til intet. Lader eder dog ikke findes som de, der endog ville stride imod Gud!‟
but if it is from God, ye cannot overthrow it, and perhaps ye may be found to be fighting against God.
40 Og de adløde ham; og de kaldte Apostlene frem og lode dem piske og forbøde dem at tale i Jesu Navn og løslode dem.
And they were persuaded by him. And after summoning the apostles, having beat them, they commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
41 Saa gik de da glade bort fra Raadets Aasyn, fordi de vare blevne agtede værdige til at vanæres for hans Navns Skyld.
Indeed therefore they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were considered worthy to be treated shamefully for the name of Jesus.
42 Og de holdt ikke op med hver Dag at lære i Helligdommen og i Husene og at forkynde Evangeliet om Kristus Jesus.
And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they ceased not teaching and preaching good news, Jesus, the Christ.
