Apostelenes gerninger 4
1 Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
But, as they were speaking unto the people, the High-priests and the Captain of the temple and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
Being tired out because of their teaching the people, and announcing, in Jesus, the resurrection from among the dead;
3 Og de lagde Hånd på dem og satte dem i Forvaring til den følgende Dag; thi det var allerede Aften.
And they thrust on them their hands, and put them in custody for the morrow, for it was evening, already.
4 Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet på Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
Howbeit, many of them that heard the word, believed; and the number of the men became about five thousand.
5 Men det skete Dagen derefter, at deres Rådsherrer og Ældste og skriftkloge forsamlede sig i Jerusalem,
And it came to pass, upon the morrow, that there were gathered together of them, the rulers and the elders and the scribes, in Jerusalem;
6 ligeså Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
Also Annas, the high-priest, and Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of high-priestly descent; —
7 Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: "Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?"
And, setting them in the midst, they began to enquire—In what manner of power, or in what manner of name, did, ye, do this?
8 Da sagde Peter, fyldt med den Helligånd, til dem: "I Folkets Rådsherrer og Ældste!
Then Peter, filled with Holy Spirit, said unto them—Ye 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, this day, are to be examined for doing good to a sick man, —in whom, this, man hath been made well,
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 unto you all, and unto all the people of Israel: that, in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, —whom, ye, crucified, whom, God, raised from among the dead, in him, doth, this man stand by, in your presence, whole.
11 Han er den Sten, som blev agtet for intet af eder, I Bygningsmænd, men som er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten.
This, is the stone, set at nought by you the builders, which became 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 in no one else, salvation, for, neither is there any other name, under heaven, which hath been set forth among men, in which we must needs 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.
And, looking at Peter’s boldness of speech, and John’s, and having discovered that they were unlettered and obscure men, they began to marvel, recognising them also, 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 also standing, with them, even the [man] who had been cured, they had nothing wherewith to contradict.
15 Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Rådet og rådførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
Howbeit, ordering them to go forth outside the high-council, they began to confer one with another,
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 are we to do with these men? For, indeed, that a notable sign hath come to pass through their means, unto all who are dwelling in Jerusalem, is manifest, 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."
Nevertheless, lest it further spread abroad among the people, let us charge them with threats, to be no more speaking upon this name, to any soul of man.
18 Og de kaldte dem ind og forbøde dem aldeles at tale eller lære i Jesu Navn.
And, calling them, they gave them the sweeping charge, —not to be sounding aloud, nor even to be teaching, upon 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, answering, said unto them—Whether it be right in presence of God, unto you, to be hearkening, rather than unto God, judge!
20 Thi vi kunne ikke lade være at tale om det, som vi have set og hørt."
For, we, cannot but be speaking the things which we have seen 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.
They, however, further charging them with threats, let them go, finding nothing as to how they might chastise them, on account of the people; because, all, were glorifying God for that which had come to pass; —
22 Thi den Mand, på hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve År gammel.
For, more than forty years old, was the man, upon whom had taken place, this healing sign.
23 Da de nu vare løsladte, kom de til deres egne og fortalte dem alt, hvad Ypperstepræsterne og de Ældste havde sagt til dem.
But, when they had been let go, they came unto their own [friends], and told as many things as, unto them, the High-priests and Elders, had said.
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,
And, they, having heard, with one accord, uplifted voice unto God, and said—O Sovereign! Thou, art he that made the heaven, and the earth, and the sea, and all things that are herein:
25 du, som har sagt ved din Tjener Davids Mund: "Hvorfor fnyste Hedninger, og Folkeslag oplagde forfængelige Råd?
Who, by our father, through means of the Holy Spirit, even by the mouth of David thy servant, said—Unto what end did nations rage, and, peoples, busy themselves with empty things?
26 Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede."
The kings of the earth stationed themselves, and, the rulers, were gathered together, with one intent, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
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 they were gathered together, of a truth, in this city, against thy holy servant Jesus, whom thou hadst anointed, —both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with them of the nations, and peoples of Israel; —
28 for at gøre det, som din Hånd og dit Råd forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
To do whatsoever, thy hand and thy counsel, marked out beforehand to come to pass.
29 Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
As to the present things, then, O Lord, —look upon their threats, and grant unto thy servants, with all freedom of utterance, to be speaking thy word,
30 idet du udrækker din Hånd til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn."
By stretching forth thy hand for healing, and by the coming to pass of both signs and wonders, through the name of thy 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.
And, when they had made supplication, the place was shaken in which they were gathered together, and they were filled, one and all, with the Holy Spirit, and began speaking the word of God with freedom of utterance.
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 throng of them that believed, had one heart and soul, and not so much as one was saying that, aught of his goods, was, his own, but they had all things common.
33 Og med stor Kraft aflagde Apostlene Vidnesbyrdet om den Herres Jesu Opstandelse, og der var stor Nåde over dem alle.
And, with great power, were the apostles giving forth their witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; great favour also was upon 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 there was not so much as anyone, lacking, among them; for, as many as were possessors of lands or houses, selling them, were bringing the prices of the things that were being sold,
35 og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
And laying them at the feet of the Apostles, while on the other hand they were distributing unto each one, in so far as any one had, need.
36 Og Josef, som af Apostlene fik Tilnavnet Barnabas, (det er udlagt: Trøstens Søn), en Levit, født på Kypern
And, Joseph, who had been surnamed Barnabas by the Apostles, which is to be translated Son of Exhortation, —a Levite, a Cyprian by nation,
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 laid it at the feet of the Apostles.
