Apostelenes gerninger 13
1 Men i Antiokia, i den derværende Menighed, var der Profeter og Lærere, nemlig Barnabas og Simeon, med Tilnavn Niger, og Kyrenæeren Lukius og Manaen, en Fosterbroder af Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, og Saulus.
Now there were in Antioch, distributed through the existing assembly, —prophets and teachers: both Barnabas and Symeon who was called Niger, and Lucius the Cyrenian, Manaen also, Herod the tetrarch’s foster-brother, and Saul.
2 Medens de nu holdt Gudstjeneste og fastede, sagde den Helligånd: "Udtager mig Barnabas og Saulus til den Gerning, hvortil jeg har kaldet dem."
And, as they were publicly ministering unto the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said—Separate forthwith unto me, Barnabas and Saul, unto the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Da fastede de og bade og lagde Hænderne på dem og lode dem fare.
Then, fasting and praying, and laying their hands upon them, they sent them away.
4 Da de nu således vare udsendte af den Helligånd, droge de ned til Seleukia og sejlede derfra til Kypern.
They, therefore, being sent forth by the Holy Spirit, went down unto Seleucia, and, from thence, sailed away unto Cyprus;
5 Og da de vare komne til Salamis, forkyndte de Guds Ord i Jødernes Synagoger; men de havde også Johannes til Medhjælper.
And, coming to be in Salamis, they declared the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; —and they had, John also, as an attendant.
6 Og da de vare dragne igennem hele Øen indtil Pafus, fandt de en Troldkarl, en falsk Profet, en Jøde, hvis Navn var Barjesus.
And, passing through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false-prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesus;
7 Han var hos Statholderen Sergius Paulus, en forstandig Mand. Denne kaldte Barnabas og Saulus til sig og attråede at høre Guds Ord.
Who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, an intelligent man. The same, calling for Barnabas and Saul, sought to hear the word of God.
8 Men Elimas, Troldkarlen, (thi dette betyder hans Navn), stod dem imod og søgte at vende Statholderen bort fra Troen.
But Elymas the magician, —for so, when translated, is his name, —withstood them; seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.
9 Men Saulus, som også kaldes Paulus, blev fyldt med den Helligånd, så fast på ham og sagde:
But Saul, who is also Paul, filled with Holy Spirit, looking steadfastly at him,
10 "O, du Djævelens Barn, fuld af al Svig og al Underfundighed, du Fjende af al Retfærdighed! vil du ikke holde op med at forvende Herrens de lige Veje?
Said—O full of all guile, and all recklessness! Son of an adversary! Enemy of all righteousness!—Wilt thou not cease to pervert the straight ways of the Lord?
11 Og nu se, Herrens Hånd er over dig, og du skal blive blind og til en Tid ikke se Solen." Men straks faldt der Mulm og Mørke over ham, og han gik omkring og søgte efter nogen, som kunde lede ham.
Now, therefore, lo! the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun, until a fitting time. And, instantly, there fell upon him a mist and darkness; and, going about, he was seeking such as might lead him by the hand.
12 Da Statholderen så det, som var sket, troede han, slagen af Forundring over Herrens Lære.
Then, the proconsul, seeing what had happened, believed, being amazed at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Paulus og de, som vare med ham, sejlede da ud fra Pafus og kom til Perge i Pamfylien. Men Johannes skiltes fra dem og vendte tilbage til Jerusalem.
And, setting sail from Paphos, Paul’s company came into Perga of Pamphylia; but, John, withdrawing from them, returned unto Jerusalem.
14 Men de droge videre fra Perge og kom til Antiokia i Pisidien og gik ind i Synagogen på Sabbatsdagen og satte sig.
They, however, passing through from Perga, arrived at Antioch of Pisidia; and, going into the synagogue on the sabbath-day, sat down.
15 Men efter Forelæsningen af Loven og Profeterne sendte Synagogeforstanderne Bud hen til dem og lode sige: "I Mænd, Brødre! have I noget Formaningsord til Folket, da siger frem!"
And, after the reading of the law and the prophets, the synagogue-rulers sent unto them, saying—Brethren! if there is in you a word of exhortation unto the people, say on.
16 Men Paulus stod op og slog til Lyd med Hånden og sagde: "I israelitiske Mænd og I, som frygte Gud, hører til!
And Paul, standing up, and making a sign with his hand, said—Ye men of Israel! and such as revere God! hearken: —
17 Dette Folks, Israels Gud udvalgte vore Fædre og ophøjede Folket i Udlændigheden i Ægyptens Land og førte dem derfra med løftet Arm.
The God of this people Israel, chose our fathers, and, the people, he exalted, by their sojourn in the land of Egypt, —and, with a high arm, brought he them out of it;
18 Og omtrent fyrretyve År tålte han deres Færd i Ørkenen.
And, for the time of about forty years, bare with their manners in the desert;
19 Og han udryddede syv Folk i Kanåns Land og fordelte disses Land iblandt dem,
And, overthrowing seven nations in the land of Canaan, gave them their land as an inheritance—about four hundred and fifty years.
20 og derefter i omtrent fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve År gav han dem Dommere indtil Profeten Samuel.
And, after these things, he gave them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Og derefter bade de om en Konge; og Gud gav dem Saul, Kis's Søn, en Mand af Benjamins Stamme, i fyrretyve År.
And, from that time, they asked for themselves a king, and God gave them Saul, son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, during forty years;
22 Og da han havde taget ham bort, oprejste han dem David til Konge, om hvem han også vidnede, og sagde: "Jeg har fundet David, Isajs Søn, en Mand efter mit Hjerte, som skal gøre al min Villie."
And, setting him aside, raised up, David, unto them for king, —of whom he also said, bearing witness—I have found David, the son of Jesse, —[a man] according to my heart, who will do all my will.
23 Af dennes Sæd bragte Gud efter Forjættelsen Israel en Frelser, Jesus,
From this man’s seed, hath God, according to promise, brought unto Israel, a saviour—Jesus:
24 efter at Johannes forud for hans Fremtræden havde prædiket Omvendelses-Dåb for hele Israels Folk.
John, beforehand proclaiming, before the face of his coming in, an immersion of repentance, unto all the people of Israel.
25 Men da Johannes var ved at fuldende sit Løb, sagde han: "Hvad anse I mig for at være? Mig er det ikke; men se, der kommer en efter mig, hvis Sko jeg ikke er værdig at løse."
And, as John was fulfilling his course, he was saying—Whom are ye supposing that I am? I, am not he! But lo! there cometh, after me, one of whom I am not worthy, the sandals of his feet, to loosen.
26 I Mænd, Brødre, Sønner af Abrahams Slægt, og de iblandt eder, som frygte Gud! Til os er Ordet om denne Frelse sendt.
Brethren! sons of the race of Abraham, and those who among you revere God, —unto you, hath this word of salvation been sent forth.
27 Thi de, som bo i Jerusalem, og deres Rådsherrer kendte ham ikke; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved Profeternes Ord, som forelæses hver Sabbat.
For, they who were dwelling in Jerusalem, and their rulers, not recognising him, have, by judging him, fulfilled, the very voices of the prophets which every sabbath are being read;
28 Og om end de ingen Dødsskyld fandt hos ham, bade de dog Pilatus, at han måtte blive slået ihjel.
And, though no single cause of death they found, yet claimed they of Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Men da de havde fuldbragt alle Ting, som ere skrevne om ham, toge de ham ned af Træet og lagde ham i en Grav.
And, when they had finished all those things which, concerning him, had been written, taking him down from the tree, they put him in a tomb.
30 Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,
But, God, raised him from among the dead:
31 og han blev set i flere Dage af dem, som vare gåede med ham op fra Galilæa til Jerusalem, dem, som nu ere hans Vidner for Folket.
Who appeared, during many days, unto them who had come up with him from Galilee unto Jerusalem; who, indeed, [now] are his witnesses unto the people.
32 Og vi forkynde eder den Forjættelse, som blev given til Fædrene, at Gud har opfyldt denne for os, deres Børn, idet han oprejste Jesus;
We, therefore, unto you, bring the good news, as to the promise which, unto our fathers, was made, —
33 som der også er skrevet i den anden Salme: "Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag."
That God hath fulfilled, the same, for our children, by raising up Jesus: as also, in the second psalm, it is written—My son, art, thou: I, this day, have begotten thee.
34 Men at han har oprejst ham fra de døde, så at han ikke mere skal vende tilbage til Forrådnelse, derom har han sagt således: "Jeg vil give eder Davids hellige Forjættelser, de trofaste."
And, in that he raised him from among the dead, no more destined to return unto corruption, on this wise hath he spoken—I will give unto you the faithful lovingkindnesses of David.
35 Thi han siger også i en anden Salme: "Du skal ikke tilstede din hellige at se Forrådnelse."
Wherefore also, in a different [place], he saith—Thou wilt not give thy man of lovingkindness to see corruption.
36 David sov jo hen, da han i sin Livstid havde tjent Guds Rådslutning, og han blev henlagt hos sine Fædre og så Forrådnelse;
For, David, indeed, unto his own generation having done service, by the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was added unto fathers, and saw corruption;
37 men den, som Gud oprejste, så ikke Forrådnelse.
But, he whom God hath raised, did not see corruption.
38 Så være det eder vitterligt, I Mænd, Brødre! at ved ham forkyndes der eder Syndernes Forladelse;
Be it known unto you, therefore, brethren, —that, through this man, unto you, remission of sins is declared;
39 og fra alt, hvorfra I ikke kunde retfærdiggøres ved Mose Lov, retfærdiggøres ved ham enhver, som tror.
And, from all things from which ye could not, by the law of Moses, be justified, by this man, everyone that believeth, is justified.
40 Ser nu til, at ikke det, som er sagt ved Profeterne, kommer over eder:
Be taking heed, therefore, lest that come upon you which hath been spoken in the prophets—
41 "Ser, I Foragtere, og forundrer eder og bliver til intet; thi en Gerning gør jeg i eders Dage, en Gerning, som I ikke vilde tro, dersom nogen fortalte eder den."
See, ye despisers, and marvel, and disappear: in that, a work, am, I, working in your days, —a work, which in nowise will ye believe, though one relate it in full unto you.
42 Men da de gik ud, bad man dem om, at disse Ord måtte blive talte til dem på den følgende Sabbat.
And, as they were going out, they kept on beseeching that, on the ensuing sabbath, might be spoken unto them these things.
43 Men da Forsamlingen var opløst, fulgte mange af Jøderne og af de gudfrygtige Proselyter Paulus og Barnabas, som talte til dem og formanede dem til at blive fast ved Guds Nåde.
And, when the congregation was broken up, there followed many of the Jews, and of the devout proselytes, with Paul and Barnabas; who, indeed, in speaking unto them, went on persuading them to abide in the favour of God.
44 Men på den følgende Sabbat forsamledes næsten hele Byen for at høre Guds Ord.
And, on the coming sabbath, almost all the city, was gathered together, to hear the word of God.
45 Men da Jøderne så Skarerne, bleve de fulde af Nidkærhed og modsagde det, som blev talt af Paulus, ja, både sagde imod og spottede.
But, the Jews, seeing, the multitudes, were filled with jealousy, —and began speaking against the things which, by Paul, were being spoken, defaming them.
46 Men Paulus og Barnabas talte frit ud og sagde: "Det var nødvendigt, at Guds Ord først skulde tales til eder; men efterdi I støde det fra eder og ikke agte eder selv værdige til det evige Liv, se, så vende vi os til Hedningerne. (aiōnios g166)
And Paul and Barnabas, speaking boldly, said—Unto you, was it necessary, that the word of God should first be spoken: seeing ye are thrusting it from you, and, unworthy, are judging yourselves of the age-abiding life, lo! we turn unto the nations; (aiōnios g166)
47 Thi således har Herren befalet os: "Jeg har sat dig til Hedningers Lys, for at du skal være til Frelse lige ud til Jordens Ende."
For so hath the Lord commanded us—I have set thee for a light of nations, that thou mayest be for salvation unto the end of the earth.
48 Men da Hedningerne hørte dette, bleve de glade og priste Herrens Ord, og de troede, så mange, som vare bestemte til evigt Liv, (aiōnios g166)
And they of the nations, hearing [this], began to rejoice, and to be glorifying God, and they believed—as many as had become disposed for life age-abiding. (aiōnios g166)
49 og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.
And the word of the Lord went on to be carried through the whole country.
50 Men Jøderne ophidsede de fornemme gudfrygtige Kvinder og de første Mænd i Byen; og de vakte en Forfølgelse imod Paulus og Barnabas og joge dem ud fra deres Grænser.
But, the Jews, urged on the devout women of the higher class, and the chief men of the city, and roused up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, —and thrust them out from their bounds.
51 Men de rystede Støvet af deres Fødder imod dem og droge til Ikonium.
But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came into Iconium.
52 Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligånd.
And, the disciples, were filled with joy, and with Holy Spirit.
