Apostelenes gerninger 5
1 Men en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, tillige med Safira, hans Hustru, solgte en Ejendom
But a certain man named Ananias, together with Sapphira his wife,
2 og stak med sin Hustrus Vidende noget af Værdien til Side og bragte en Del deraf og lagde den for Apostlenes Fødder.
sold a possession, and secreted part of the price, his wife also being conscious to it; and bringing: some part, laid it at the feet of the apostles.
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 hath Satan so filled thine heart, that thou shouldst lie to the holy Ghost, and 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 it remained, did it not remain thy own? and when sold, was it not in thy own power? what is the meaning that thou hast taken this into thine heart? Thou hast not lyed 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 at the hearing of these words fell down and expired: and great fear came on all that heard these things.
6 Men de unge Mænd stode op og lagde ham til Rette og bare ham ud og begravede ham.
And some of 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.
And about the space of three hours after, his wife also came in, not knowing what had 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 said 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.‟
Then Peter said unto her, Wherefore have ye agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold the feet of those, who have been burying thy husband, now at the door, and they shall 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 the young men coming in 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.
And great fear came upon the whole assembly, and upon all that 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 were many signs and wonders done among the people: And they all met with one accord in Solomon's portico:
13 Men af de andre turde ingen holde sig til dem; dog priste Folket dem højt,
but no other presumed to join himself to them; however the people magnified them.
14 og der føjedes stedse flere troende til Herren, Skarer baade af Mænd og Kvinder,
And true believers were the more willingly added to the Lord, even 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.
insomuch that they brought the sick out into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at lest the shadow of Peter, as he came by, might pass over 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 a great number out of the cities round about also came together to Jerusalem, bringing those that were infirm and that were troubled with impure spirits; and they were all cured.
17 Men Ypperstepræsten stod op samt alle de, som holdt med ham, nemlig Saddukæernes Parti, og de bleve fulde af Nidkærhed.
Then the high priest rose up, and all that were with him, (being of the sect of the sadducees, ) and were filled with rage:
18 Og de lagde Haand paa Apostlene og satte dem i offentlig Forvaring.
and laid 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 angel of the Lord opened the doors of the prison by night, and having brought them out 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.
And hearing this, they went early in the morning into the temple and taught the people. But the high priest being come, and they that were with him, to the council-chamber, they called together the Sanhedrim, and all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent orders to the prison that they should be brought before them.
22 Men da Tjenerne kom derhen, fandt de dem ikke i Fængselet; og de kom tilbage og meldte det og sagde:
But when the officers came they found them not in the prison: so they returned,
23 „Fængselet fandt vi tillukket helt forsvarligt, og Vogterne staaende ved Dørene; men da vi lukkede op, fandt vi ingen derinde.‟
and told them, saying, the prison we found shut with all safety, and the keepers standing without before the doors: but when we opened them, we found no body within.
24 Men da Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Ypperstepræsterne hørte disse Ord, bleve de tvivlraadige om dem, hvad dette skulde blive til.
Now when the high priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were in doubt concerning them, what this would come to;
25 Men der kom en og meldte dem: „Se, de Mænd, som I satte i Fængselet, staa i Helligdommen og lære Folket.‟
when there came one and told them, saying, behold, the men whom ye put in prison, are in the temple 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, but not with violence; for they were afraid of the people least they should be stoned:
27 Men da de havde hentet dem, stillede de dem for Raadet; og Ypperstepræsten spurgte dem og sagde:
and when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked 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 not we strictly charge you not to teach in this name? and behold ye have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and would bring this man's blood upon us.
29 Men Peter og Apostlene svarede og sagde: „Man bør adlyde Gud mere end Mennesker.
But Peter, and the other apostles, answered, and said, We ought to 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 hath raised up Jesus whom ye slew and hanged 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.
Him hath God exalted with his right hand as a prince and saviour, 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 what we declare; and so is the holy Spirit, whom God hath given to them that 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 cut to the heart, and took counsel to put them to death.
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 a certain pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, held in much esteem by all the people, stood up in the council, and ordered the apostles to be taken out a little while; and then he said unto them,
35 Og han sagde til dem: „I israelitiske Mænd! ser eder vel for, hvad I gøre med disse Mennesker.
Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves, what ye are about to do, as to 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 some time ago one Theudas arose, pretending to be some extraordinary person, to whom was joined a number of men, about four hundred: who was slain, and all that followed 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 him arose Judas the Galilean, at the time of the registring, and drew much people after him: but he also perished, and all that followed him were dispersed.
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 therefore as to the present affair I advise you to refrain from these men and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nothing;
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 be of God, ye cannot defeat it, least ye be found fighting even 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.
So they took his advice, and having called for the apostles and scourged them, they charged 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.
And they departed from the presence of the council rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer disgrace for his name.
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 from teaching and preaching that Jesus was the Christ.
