Apostelenes gerninger 9
1 Men Saulus, som endnu fnøs med Trusel og Mord imod Herrens Disciple, gik til Ypperstepræsten
But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, having come to the high priest,
2 og bad ham om Breve til Damaskus til Synagogerne, for at han, om han fandt nogle, Mænd eller Kvinder, som holdt sig til Vejen, kunde føre dem bundne til Jerusalem.
asked from him letters to Damascus against the synagogues, in order that if he should find any being of the way, both men and women, he might lead them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstrålede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.
And it came to pass, while prosecuting the journey he drew near to Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven shone around him;
4 Og han faldt til Jorden og hørte en Røst, som sagde til ham: "Saul! Saul! hvorfor forfølger du mig?"
and falling on the ground, he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
5 Og han sagde: "Hvem er du, Herre?" Men han svarede: "Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.
And He said, I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.
6 Men stå op og gå ind i Byen, og det skal siges dig, hvad du bør gøre."
But stand up, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what it behooves thee to do.
7 Men de Mænd, som rejste med ham, stode målløse, da de vel hørte Røsten, men ikke så nogen.
And the men journeying along with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but seeing no one.
8 Og Saulus rejste sig op fra Jorden; men da han oplod sine Øjne, så han intet. Men de ledte ham ved Hånden og førte ham ind i Damaskus.
And Saul arose from the ground; and his eyes being open, he saw nothing: but leading him by the hand, they led him into Damascus;
9 Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.
and he was three days not seeing, neither did he eat nor drink.
10 Men der var en Discipel i Damaskus, ved Navn Ananias, og Herren sagde til ham i et Syn: "Ananias!" Og han sagde: "Se, her er jeg, Herre!"
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, Ananias by name; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord.
11 Og Herren sagde til ham: "Stå op, gå hen i den Gade, som kaldes den lige, og spørg i Judas's Hus efter en ved Navn Saulus fra Tarsus; thi se, han beder.
And the Lord said to him, Arising, go to the street which is called Straight, and seek a Tarsean, by name Saul, in the house of Judas; for, behold, he is praying,
12 Og han har i et Syn set en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, komme ind og lægge Hænderne på ham, for at han skulde blive seende."
and he saw a man, Ananias by name, coming in, and putting his hands on him, in order that he may look up.
13 Men Ananias svarede: "Herre! jeg har hørt af mange om denne Mand, hvor meget ondt han har gjort dine hellige i Jerusalem.
And Ananias responded, Lord I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints in Jerusalem:
14 Og her har han Fuldmagt fra Ypperstepræsterne til at binde alle dem, som påkalde dit Navn."
and he here has authority from the chief priests to bind all those calling on thy name.
15 Men Herren sagde til ham: "Gå; thi denne er mig et udvalgt Redskab til at bære mit Navn frem både for Hedninger og Konger og Israels Børn;
And the Lord said to him, Go: because he is a vessel of election to me, to bear my name both before the Gentiles, and kings, and sons of Israel:
16 thi jeg vil, vise ham hvor meget han bør lide for mit Navns Skyld."
for I will show him how many things it behooves him to suffer for my name's sake.
17 Men Ananias gik hen og kom ind i Huset og lagde Hænderne på ham og sagde: "Saul, Broder! Herren har sendt mig, den Jesus, der viste sig for dig på Vejen, ad hvilken du kom, for at du skal blive seende igen og fyldes med den Helligånd."
And Ananias departed, and came into the house: and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, Jesus, that appeared to you in the way in which thou didst come, hath sent me, that thou mayest look up, and he filled with the Holy Ghost.
18 Og straks faldt der ligesom Skæl fra hans Øjne, og han blev seende, og han stod op og blev døbt.
And immediately there fell from his eyes as scales: and he looked up; and having stood up, was baptized,
19 Og han fik Mad og kom til Kræfter. Men han blev nogle Dage hos Disciplene i Damaskus.
and having received food, he was strengthened. And he was with the disciples who were in Damascus some days;
20 Og straks prædikede han i Synagogerne om Jesus, at han er Guds Søn.
and immediately he was preaching Jesus in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
21 Men alle, som hørte det, forbavsedes og sagde: "Er det ikke ham, som i Jerusalem forfulgte dem, der påkaldte dette Navn, og var kommen hertil for at føre dem bundne til Ypperstepræsterne?"
And all those hearing were astonished, and continued to say, Is not this the one laying waste those calling on this name in Jerusalem? and has come hither for this, that he may lead them bound to the chief priests.
22 Men Saulus voksede i Kraft og gendrev Jøderne, som boede i Damaskus, idet han beviste, at denne er Kristus.
And Saul continued to be the more filled up with dynamite, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that Jesus is the Christ.
23 Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Råd om at slå ham ihjel.
And when many days were being filled up, the Jews issued a verdict to kill him:
24 Men Saulus fik deres Efterstræbelser at vide. Og de bevogtede endog Portene både Dag og Nat, for at de kunde slå ham ihjel.
but their plot was made known to Saul. And they were keeping the gates both day and night in order that they might kill him:
25 Men hans Disciple toge ham ved Nattetid og bragte ham ud igennem Muren, idet de firede ham ned i en Kurv.
and his disciples taking him, let him down through the wall in the night, lowering him in a basket.
26 Men da han kom til Jerusalem, forsøgte han at holde sig til Disciplene; men de frygtede alle for ham, da de ikke troede, at han var en Discipel.
And arriving in Jerusalem, he was endeavoring to join himself to the disciples: and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
27 Men Barnabas tog sig af ham og førte ham til Apostlene; og han fortalte dem, hvorledes han havde set Herren på Vejen, og at han havde talt til ham, og hvorledes han i Damaskus havde vidnet frimodigt i Jesu Navn.
But Barnabas taking him, led him to the apostles, and related to them how he saw the Lord on the way, and that He spoke to him, and how he preached boldly in Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Og han gik ind og gik ud med dem i Jerusalem
And he was with them going in and coming out in Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord;
29 og vidnede frimodigt i Herrens Navn. Og han talte og tvistedes med Hellenisterne; men de toge sig for at slå ham ihjel.
and he was speaking and arguing against the Hellenists, and they undertook to kill him.
30 Men da Brødrene fik dette at vide, førte de ham ned til Kæsarea og sendte ham videre til Tarsus.
And the brethren, taking cognizance, led him to Caesarea, and sent him away to Tarsus.
31 Så havde da Menigheden Fred over hele Judæa og Galilæa og Samaria, og den opbyggedes og vandrede i Herrens Frygt, og ved den Helligånds Formaning voksede den.
Then indeed the church had peace throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified and progressing in the fear of the Lord; and was being multiplied by the exhortation of the Holy Ghost.
32 Men det skete, medens Peter drog omkring alle Vegne, at han også kom ned til de hellige, som boede i Lydda.
And it came to pass, that Peter going through all parts, came down also to the saints living at Lydda.
33 Der fandt han en Mand ved Navn Æneas, som havde ligget otte År til Sengs og var værkbruden.
And he found there a certain man, by name Eneas, lying on a bed eight years, who was paralyzed.
34 Og Peter sagde til ham: "Æneas! Jesus Kristus helbreder dig; stå op, og red selv din Seng!" Og han stod straks op.
And Peter said to him, Eneas, Jesus Christ heals thee: arise, and take up thy bed: and immediately he arose.
35 Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron så ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.
And all those dwelling at Lydda and Sharon, whosoever saw him, turned to the Lord.
36 Men i Joppe var der en Discipelinde ved Navn Tabitha, hvilket udlagt betyder Hind; hun var rig på gode Gerninger og gav mange Almisser.
But there was a certain disciple in Joppa, by name Tabitha, who being interpreted is called Dorcas: and she was full of good works and alms which she was doing.
37 Men det skete i de Dage, at hun blev syg og døde. Da toede de hende og lagde hende i Salen ovenpå.
And it came to pass during those days, she being sick, died: and washing her, they placed her in an upper chamber.
38 Men efterdi Lydda var nær ved Joppe, udsendte Disciplene, da de hørte, at Peter var der, to Mænd til ham og bade ham: "Kom uden Tøven over til os!"
And Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter is in it, sent two men to him, entreating him, Do not delay to come unto us.
39 Men Peter stod op og gik med dem. Og da han kom derhen, førte de ham op i Salen ovenpå, og alle Enkerne stode hos ham, græd og viste ham alle de Kjortler og Kapper, som "Hinden" havde forarbejdet, medens hun var hos dem.
And Peter rising up came along with them; whom, on arrival, they led to the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing him the chitoons and himations, so many as Dorcas made, while with them.
40 Men Peter bød dem alle at gå ud, og han faldt på Knæ og bad; og han vendte sig til det døde Legeme og sagde: "Tabitha, stå op!" Men hun oplod sine Øjne, og da hun så Peter, satte hun sig op.
And Peter having put them all out, and putting down his knees, prayed; and having turned toward the body, said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and seeing Peter sat up.
41 Men han gav hende Hånden og rejste hende op, og han kaldte på de hellige og Enkerne og fremstillede hende levende for dem.
And having given her his hand, he raised her up, and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Men det blev vitterligt over hele Joppe, og mange troede på Herren.
And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed on the Lord.
43 Og det skete, at han blev mange Dage i Joppe hos en vis Simon, en Garver.
And it came to pass, that he remained some days in Joppa, with one Simon a tanner.
