Apostelenes gerninger 4
1 Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
2 da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 Og de lagde Hånd på dem og satte dem i Forvaring til den følgende Dag; thi det var allerede Aften.
They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
4 Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet på Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
5 Men det skete Dagen derefter, at deres Rådsherrer og Ældste og skriftkloge forsamlede sig i Jerusalem,
It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
6 ligeså Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
7 Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: "Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?"
When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"
8 Da sagde Peter, fyldt med den Helligånd, til dem: "I Folkets Rådsherrer og Ældste!
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,
9 Når vi i Dag forhøres angående denne Velgerning imod en vanfør Mand, om hvorved han er bleven helbredt;
if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
10 da skal det være eder alle og hele Israels Folk vitterligt, at ved Jesu Kristi Nazaræerens Navn, hvem I have korsfæstet, hvem Gud har oprejst fra de døde, ved dette Navn er det, at denne står rask her for eders Øjne,
be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus (the) Messiah the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.
11 Han er den Sten, som blev agtet for intet af eder, I Bygningsmænd, men som er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten.
This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
12 Og der er ikke Frelse i nogen anden; thi der er ikke noget andet Navn under Himmelen, givet iblandt Mennesker, ved hvilket vi skulle blive frelste."
And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."
13 Men da de så Peters og Johannes Frimodighed og kunde mærke, at de vare ulærde Mænd og Lægfolk, forundrede de sig, og de kendte dem, at de havde været med Jesus.
Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
14 Og da de så Manden, som var helbredt, stå hos dem, havde de intet at sige derimod.
Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
15 Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Rådet og rådførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
16 "Hvad skulle vi gøre med disse Mennesker? thi at et vitterligt Tegn er sket ved dem, det er åbenbart for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, og vi kunne ikke nægte det.
saying, "What should we do with these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
17 Men for at det ikke skal komme videre ud iblandt Folket, da lader os true dem til ikke mere at tale til noget Menneske i dette Navn."
But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."
18 Og de kaldte dem ind og forbøde dem aldeles at tale eller lære i Jesu Navn.
They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
19 Men Peter og Johannes svarede og sagde til dem: "Dømmer selv. om det er ret for Gud at lyde eder mere end Gud.
But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
20 Thi vi kunne ikke lade være at tale om det, som vi have set og hørt."
for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."
21 Men de truede dem end mere og løslode dem, da de ikke kunde udfinde, hvorledes de skulde straffe dem, for Folkets Skyld; thi alle priste Gud for det, som var sket.
When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
22 Thi den Mand, på hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve År gammel.
For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
23 Da de nu vare løsladte, kom de til deres egne og fortalte dem alt, hvad Ypperstepræsterne og de Ældste havde sagt til dem.
Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
24 Men da de hørte dette, opløftede de endrægtigt Røsten til Gud og sagde: "Herre, du, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alle Ting, som ere i dem,
When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.
25 du, som har sagt ved din Tjener Davids Mund: "Hvorfor fnyste Hedninger, og Folkeslag oplagde forfængelige Råd?
You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
26 Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede."
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Messiah.'
27 Ja, de have i Sandhed forsamlet sig i denne Stad imod din hellige Tjener Jesus, hvem du har salvet, både Herodes og Pontius Pilatus tillige med Hedningerne og Israels Folkestammer
"For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together
28 for at gøre det, som din Hånd og dit Råd forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
29 Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
30 idet du udrækker din Hånd til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn."
while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."
31 Og da de havde bedt, rystedes Stedet, hvor de vare forsamlede; og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligånd, og de talte Guds Ord med Frimodighed.
When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
32 Men de troendes Mængde havde eet Hjerte og een Sjæl; og end ikke een kaldte noget af det, han ejede, sit eget; men de havde alle Ting fælles.
And the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
33 Og med stor Kraft aflagde Apostlene Vidnesbyrdet om den Herres Jesu Opstandelse, og der var stor Nåde over dem alle.
With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
34 Thi der var end ikke nogen trængende iblandt dem; thi alle de, som vare Ejere af Jordstykker eller Huse, solgte dem og bragte Salgssummerne
For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
35 og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
36 Og Josef, som af Apostlene fik Tilnavnet Barnabas, (det er udlagt: Trøstens Søn), en Levit, født på Kypern
Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,
37 som ejede en Jordlod, solgte den og bragte Pengene og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder.
having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
