Apostelenes gerninger 1
1 Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte både at gøre og lære,
My first account, O Theophilus, dealt with all that Jesus began doing and teaching from the beginning down to the day when,
2 indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligånd;
after giving instructions through the Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up to heaven.
3 for hvem han også, efter at han havde lidt, fremstillede sig levende ved mange Beviser, idet han viste sig for dem i fyrretyve Dage og talte om de Ting, der høre til Guds Rige.
After his sufferings he had also shown himself alive to them in many convincing manifestations, revealing himself to them during forty days, and speaking of the kingdom of God.
4 Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke måtte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, "hvorom," sagde han, "I have hørt af mig.
And once when he was eating with them he charged them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father. "Of this," he said, "you have heard from me.
5 Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligånd om ikke mange Dage."
"For John indeed baptized in water, but you shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence."
6 Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: "Herre! opretter du på denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?"
So, when they came together, they began to ask him, "Master, are you at this time about to restore the kingdom of Israel?"
7 Men han sagde til dem: "Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
He answered. "It is not for you to know times and occasions which the Father has fixed in his own authority;
8 Men I skulle få Kraft, når den Helligånd kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner både i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende."
"yet you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you are to be my witnesses both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the very ends of the earth."
9 Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de så derpå, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
When he had said this, and while they were looking at him, he was lifted up, and a cloud received him up out of their sight.
10 Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
While they were gazing into the sky as he was going up, suddenly there were two men in white garments standing by them,
11 og de sagde: "I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor stå I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen på samme Måde, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen."
and they said. "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into the sky? This same Jesus who has been taken up from you into the sky will come back in just the same way as you have seen him going into the sky."
12 Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, about a Sabbath Day’s journey distant.
13 Og da de kom derind, gik de op på den Sal, hvor de plejede at opholde sig, Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Andreas, Filip og Thomas, Bartholomæus og Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn og Simon Zelotes, og Judas, Jakobs Søn.
On entering the city they went to the upper room where they were accustomed to meet. They were Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
These all with one mind gave their constant attention to prayer, together with some women, and with Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
15 Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde: (og der var en Skare samlet på omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
It was during these days that Peter stood up among the brothers - the whole number of persons present was about one hundred and twenty - and said.
16 "I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligånd forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
"Men and brothers, it was necessary for the Scripture to be fulfilled which the Holy Spirit uttered beforehand by the lips of David in regard to Judas who acted as guide to those who arrested Jesus.
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde fået denne Tjenestes Lod.
"For he was numbered among us, and he did get his allotted share of this ministry.
18 Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
"Now this man bought a plot of ground with the price of his treachery, and falling there headlong he burst asunder and all his bowels gushed out.
19 hvilket også er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, så at den Ager kaldes på deres eget Mål Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
"This fact became known to the people of Jerusalem so that the place was called in their language, Acheldamach, The Field of Blood.
20 Thi der er skrevet i Salmernes Bog: "Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den," og: "Lad en anden få hans Tilsynsgerning."
"For it is written in the Book of Psalms, Let his dwelling-place be desolate; Let no man dwell there, also, Let another take his work.
21 Derfor bør en af de Mænd, som vare sammen med os i hele den Tid, da den Herre Jesus gik ind og gik ud hos os,
"It is necessary then that, of the men who have been associated with us during the whole time in which the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 lige fra Johannes's Dåb indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse."
from his baptism by John down to the day on which he was taken up from us, one should join us a witness to his resurrection."
23 Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
So they placed two in nomination, Joseph called Bar-Sabbas (surnamed Justas) and Matthias;
24 Og de bade og sagde: "Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
and they prayed, saying. "Thou, O Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show clearly which of these two men thou hast chosen to fill the place
25 til at få denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gå hen til sit eget Sted."
"in this ministry of this apostles from which Judas went out to go to his own place."
26 Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt på Matthias. og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
Then they cast lots for them, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
