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 murder against the disciples of the Lord, applying 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.
besought of him letters for the synagogues at Damascus, that if he should find any persons of this way, whether men or women, he might bring them in chains to Jerusalem.
3 Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstrålede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.
So advancing on his journey, he was drawing nigh to Damascus: and suddenly there shone around him a light from heaven:
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 unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
5 Og han sagde: "Hvem er du, Herre?" Men han svarede: "Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.
Then said he, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou art persecuting: It is difficult for thee to kick against the goads.
6 Men stå op og gå ind i Byen, og det skal siges dig, hvad du bør gøre."
And trembling and amazed he said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Men de Mænd, som rejste med ham, stode målløse, da de vel hørte Røsten, men ikke så nogen.
And the men who travelled with him stood astonished, hearing indeed a voice, but seeing no man.
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.
Then Paul arose from the earth; and when his eyes were opened, he saw no man: but leading him by the hand, they brought him into Damascus.
9 Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.
And he was three days seeing nothing, and did neither 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!"
Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said unto him in a vision, Ananias! And he said, Here I am, 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.
Then the Lord said to him, Arise, go into the street called Strait, and inquire at the house of Judas for one named Saul a man of Tarsus: 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 hath seen in a vision a man named Ananias coming to him, and laying his hand upon him, that he may recover his sight.
13 Men Ananias svarede: "Herre! jeg har hørt af mange om denne Mand, hvor meget ondt han har gjort dine hellige i Jerusalem.
But Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many of this man, how many evils he hath inflicted on thy saints at Jerusalem:
14 Og her har han Fuldmagt fra Ypperstepræsterne til at binde alle dem, som påkalde dit Navn."
and here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call upon 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;
But the Lord said unto him, Go: for this man is an elect vessel for me, to bear my name before nations, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 thi jeg vil, vise ham hvor meget han bør lide for mit Navns Skyld."
for I will shew him how many things he must 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."
Then went Ananias, and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who was seen by thee in the way that thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest recover thy sight, and be 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 directly there fell from his eyes as it were scales: and he recovered sight instantly, and arose, and was baptised.
19 Og han fik Mad og kom til Kræfter. Men han blev nogle Dage hos Disciplene i Damaskus.
And when he had taken nourishment, he regained his strength. And Saul continued with the disciples who were at Damascus several days.
20 Og straks prædikede han i Synagogerne om Jesus, at han er Guds Søn.
And immediately he preached Christ 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 who heard him were amazed, and said, Is not this the man who made havoc at Jerusalem, among those who called on this name? and hither he came for this purpose, that he might carry them in chains unto the chief priests?
22 Men Saulus voksede i Kraft og gendrev Jøderne, som boede i Damaskus, idet han beviste, at denne er Kristus.
But Saul was endued with still greater power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt at Damascus, conclusively evincing that this person is the Messiah.
23 Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Råd om at slå ham ihjel.
But when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together how 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 design was discovered to Saul. And they kept guard at the gates of the city day and night, 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.
But the disciples taking him by night, got him off through the wall, letting him down 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.
But when Saul was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples: and they were all afraid of him, not crediting 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.
Then Barnabas taking him by the hand, brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how boldly he had preached at Damascus in the name of Jesus.
28 Og han gik ind og gik ud med dem i Jerusalem
And he was with them coming in, and going out at Jerusalem:
29 og vidnede frimodigt i Herrens Navn. Og han talte og tvistedes med Hellenisterne; men de toge sig for at slå ham ihjel.
and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus. And he talked and disputed with the Grecian proselytes: but they made an attempt to murder him.
30 Men da Brødrene fik dette at vide, førte de ham ned til Kæsarea og sendte ham videre til Tarsus.
Then the brethren, when they knew it brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him off 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 had the churches peace through all Judea and Galilee and Samaria, being edified; and walking in the fear of God, and in the consolation of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
32 Men det skete, medens Peter drog omkring alle Vegne, at han også kom ned til de hellige, som boede i Lydda.
Now it came to pass, as Peter was passing through all parts, that he went down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33 Der fandt han en Mand ved Navn Æneas, som havde ligget otte År til Sengs og var værkbruden.
And found there a certain man named AEneas, during six years stretched on a bed, who was paralytic.
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, AEneas, Jesus the Messiah maketh thee whole: arise, and make thine own bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron så ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.
And all who dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and they 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 at Joppa a woman, a disciple, named Tabitha, (which by interpretation is called Dorcas: ) this woman was full of good works and of alms which she did.
37 Men det skete i de Dage, at hun blev syg og døde. Da toede de hende og lagde hende i Salen ovenpå.
But it came to pass that in those days she sickened and died: having then washed her, they laid her out in an upper room.
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 as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him without delay to come over to them.
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.
Then Peter arose and went with them. And they carried him, on his arrival, into the upper room: and all the widows stood round him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made, whilst she was 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.
But Peter putting them all out, fell upon his knees, and prayed; and turning to the body, said, Tabitha, arise! And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she 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.
Then he gave her his hand, and raised her up; and calling in the saints and the widows, presented her to them alive.
42 Men det blev vitterligt over hele Joppe, og mange troede på Herren.
And it was known through 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.
Then it came to pass, that he abode many days at Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
