Apostelenes gerninger 4
1 Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
While they were saying this to the people, the Priests, the Commander of the Temple Guard, and the Sadducees came upon them,
2 da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
highly incensed at their teaching the people and proclaiming in the case of 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.
They arrested the two Apostles and lodged them in custody till the next day; for it was already evening.
4 Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet på Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
But many of those who had listened to their preaching believed; and the number of the adult men had now grown to be about 5,000.
5 Men det skete Dagen derefter, at deres Rådsherrer og Ældste og skriftkloge forsamlede sig i Jerusalem,
The next day a meeting was held in Jerusalem of their Rulers, Elders, and Scribes,
6 ligeså Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
with Annas the High Priest, Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and the other members of the high-priestly family.
7 Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: "Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?"
So they made the Apostles stand in the centre, and demanded of them, "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 was filled with the Holy Spirit, and he replied, "Rulers and Elders of the people,
9 Når vi i Dag forhøres angående denne Velgerning imod en vanfør Mand, om hvorved han er bleven helbredt;
if we to-day are under examination concerning the benefit conferred on a man helplessly lame, as to how this man has been cured;
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 people of Israel, that through the name of Jesus the Anointed, the Nazarene, whom you crucified, but whom God has raised from among the dead-- through that name this man stands here before you in perfect health.
11 Han er den Sten, som blev agtet for intet af eder, I Bygningsmænd, men som er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten.
This Jesus is the Stone treated with contempt by you the builders, but it has been made the Cornerstone.
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 in no other is the great salvation to be found; for, in fact, there is no second name under Heaven that has been given among men through which we are to 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.
As they looked on Peter and John so fearlessly outspoken--and also discovered that they were illiterate persons, untrained in the schools--they were surprised; and now they recognized them as having been with Jesus.
14 Og da de så Manden, som var helbredt, stå hos dem, havde de intet at sige derimod.
And seeing the man standing with them--the man who had been cured--they had no reply to make.
15 Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Rådet og rådførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
So they ordered them to withdraw from the Sanhedrin while 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.
"What are we to do with these men?" they asked one another; for the fact that a remarkable miracle has been performed by them is well known to every one 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 to prevent the matter spreading any further among the people, let us stop them by threats from speaking in the future in this name to any one whatever."
18 Og de kaldte dem ind og forbøde dem aldeles at tale eller lære i Jesu Navn.
So they recalled the Apostles, and ordered them altogether to give up speaking or teaching 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 replied, "Judge whether it is right in God's sight to listen to you instead of listening to God.
20 Thi vi kunne ikke lade være at tale om det, som vi have set og hørt."
As for us, what we have seen and heard we cannot help speaking about."
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.
The Court added further threats and then let them go, being quite unable to find any way of punishing them on account of the people, because all gave God the glory for the thing that had happened.
22 Thi den Mand, på hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve År gammel.
For the man was over forty years of age on whom this miracle of restoration to health had been performed.
23 Da de nu vare løsladte, kom de til deres egne og fortalte dem alt, hvad Ypperstepræsterne og de Ældste havde sagt til dem.
After their release the two Apostles went to their friends, and told them all that 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, upon hearing the story, all lifted up their voices to God and said, "O Sovereign Lord, it is Thou who didst make Heaven and earth and 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?
and didst say through the Holy Spirit by the lips of our forefather David Thy servant, "'Why have the nations stamped and raged, and the peoples formed futile plans?
26 Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede."
The kings of the earth came near, and the rulers assembled together against the Lord and against His Anointed.'"
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
"They did indeed assemble in this city in hostility to Thy holy Servant Jesus whom Thou hadst anointed--Herod and Pontius Pilate with the Gentiles and also the tribes of Israel--
28 for at gøre det, som din Hånd og dit Råd forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
to do all that Thy power and Thy will had predetermined should be done.
29 Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
And now, Lord, listen to their threats, and enable Thy servants to proclaim Thy Message with fearless courage,
30 idet du udrækker din Hånd til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn."
whilst Thou stretchest out Thine arm to cure men, and to give signs and marvels 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.
When they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled shook, and they were, one and all, filled with the Holy Spirit, and proceeded to tell God's Message 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.
Among all those who had embraced the faith there was but one heart and soul, so that none of them claimed any of his possessions as his own, but everything they had was common property;
33 Og med stor Kraft aflagde Apostlene Vidnesbyrdet om den Herres Jesu Opstandelse, og der var stor Nåde over dem alle.
while the Apostles with great force of conviction delivered their testimony as to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus; and great grace 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
And, in fact, there was not a needy man among them, for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the money which they realised,
35 og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
and gave it to the Apostles, and distribution was made to every one according to his wants.
36 Og Josef, som af Apostlene fik Tilnavnet Barnabas, (det er udlagt: Trøstens Søn), en Levit, født på Kypern
In this way Joseph, whom the Apostles gave the name of Bar-nabas--signifying 'Son of Encouragement' --a Levite, a native of Cyprus,
37 som ejede en Jordlod, solgte den og bragte Pengene og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder.
sold a farm which he had, and brought the money and gave it to the Apostles.
