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 Sappirah, his wife, sold a possession,
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 part of the price, his wife also being aware of it, and brought a certain part, and put 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 has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back part of 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 you kept it, did not it remain your own? After it was sold, was not it in your power? How is it that you have conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to people, 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.
Ananias, hearing these words, fell down and died. Great fear came on all who heard it.
6 Men de unge Mænd stode op og lagde ham til Rette og bare ham ud og begravede ham.
The young men arose and wrapped him up, and they carried him out and buried him.
7 Men det skete omtrent tre Timer derefter, da kom hans Hustru ind uden at vide, hvad der var sket.
About three hours later, his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
8 Da sagde Peter til hende: „Sig mig, om I solgte Jordstykket til den Pris?‟ Og hun sagde: „Ja, til den Pris.‟
Peter answered her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for so much." 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 asked her, "How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Look, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you 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.
She fell down immediately at his feet, and died. The young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
11 Og stor Frygt kom over hele Menigheden og over alle, som hørte dette.
Great fear came on the whole church, and on 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.
By the hands of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. 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,
None of the rest dared to join them, however the people honored them.
14 og der føjedes stedse flere troende til Herren, Skarer baade af Mænd og Kvinder,
More believers were added to the Lord, crowds of both 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.
They even carried out the sick into the streets, and put them on cots and mats, so that as Peter came by at the least his shadow would fall on 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.
Crowds also came together from the cities around Jerusalem, bringing sick people, and those who were tormented by unclean spirits: and they 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 the high priest rose up, and all those who were with him (which is the sect of the Sadducees), and they were filled with jealousy,
18 Og de lagde Haand paa Apostlene og satte dem i offentlig Forvaring.
and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in public custody.
19 Men en Herrens Engel aabnede Fængselets Døre om Natten og førte dem ud og sagde:
But an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors by night, and brought them out, and said,
20 „Gaar hen og træder frem og taler i Helligdommen alle disse Livets Ord for Folket!‟
"Go stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words 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.
When they heard this, they entered into the temple about daybreak, and taught. But the high priest came, and those who were with him, and called the council together, and all the elders of the children of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
22 Men da Tjenerne kom derhen, fandt de dem ikke i Fængselet; og de kom tilbage og meldte det og sagde:
But the officers who came did not find them in the prison. They returned and reported,
23 „Fængselet fandt vi tillukket helt forsvarligt, og Vogterne staaende ved Dørene; men da vi lukkede op, fandt vi ingen derinde.‟
"We found the prison shut and locked, and the guards standing before the doors, but when we opened them, we found no one inside."
24 Men da Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Ypperstepræsterne hørte disse Ord, bleve de tvivlraadige om dem, hvad dette skulde blive til.
Now when the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were very perplexed about them and what might become of this.
25 Men der kom en og meldte dem: „Se, de Mænd, som I satte i Fængselet, staa i Helligdommen og lære Folket.‟
One came and told them, "Look, the men whom you put in prison are in the temple, standing 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 the captain went with the officers, and brought them without violence, for they were afraid that the people might stone them.
27 Men da de havde hentet dem, stillede de dem for Raadet; og Ypperstepræsten spurgte dem og sagde:
When they had brought them, they set them before the council. The high priest questioned 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 strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and intend to bring this man's blood on us."
29 Men Peter og Apostlene svarede og sagde: „Man bør adlyde Gud mere end Mennesker.
But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than people.
30 Vore Fædres Gud oprejste Jesus, hvem I hængte paa et Træ og sloge ihjel.
The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you killed, hanging him 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 him with his right hand to be a Leader and a Savior, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
32 Og vi ere hans Vidner om disse Ting, ligesom ogsaa den Helligaand, som Gud har givet dem, der adlyde ham.‟
We are witnesses of these things; and so also is 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.
But they, when they heard this, were furious, and wanted to kill 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 one stood up in the council, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, honored by all the people, and commanded to put the men out for a little while.
35 Og han sagde til dem: „I israelitiske Mænd! ser eder vel for, hvad I gøre med disse Mennesker.
He said to them, "You men of Israel, be careful concerning these men, what you are about to do.
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 Todah rose up, making himself out to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain; and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed, and came to 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 of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.
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;
Now I tell you, withdraw from these men, and leave them alone. For if this counsel or this work is of human origin, 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 of God, you will not be able to overthrow them, and you would be found even 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.
They agreed with him. Summoning the apostles, they beat them and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go.
41 Saa gik de da glade bort fra Raadets Aasyn, fordi de vare blevne agtede værdige til at vanæres for hans Navns Skyld.
They therefore departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor for the Name.
42 Og de holdt ikke op med hver Dag at lære i Helligdommen og i Husene og at forkynde Evangeliet om Kristus Jesus.
Every day, in the temple and at home, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.
