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, came 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.
and petitioned for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus; that, if he found any of that way, whether they were men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.
3 Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstrålede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.
And as he was proceedings on his journey, and was come near to Damascus, on a sudden, 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 he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?
5 Og han sagde: "Hvem er du, Herre?" Men han svarede: "Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you persecute:
6 Men stå op og gå ind i Byen, og det skal siges dig, hvad du bør gøre."
but arise, and go into the city, and you shall be told what you 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 traveled with him, stood astonished; hearing, indeed, 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.
Then Saul arose from the earth; and, though his eyes were open, he saw no man; but they led him by the hand, and brought him to Damascus.
9 Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.
And he was three days without sight, 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, whose name was Ananias; 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, Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Judas for a man of Tarsus, whose name is Saul; for, behold, he is praying to me;
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 has seen in a vision, a man whose name is Ananias, coming in and laying his hand upon him, that he might 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.
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many concerning this man, how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
14 Og her har han Fuldmagt fra Ypperstepræsterne til at binde alle dem, som påkalde dit Navn."
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all that invoke 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 to him, Go your way; for this man is to me a chosen vessel, 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 show him how many things he must suffer for my name.
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 Ananias went, and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him, he said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, who appeared to you on the way, as you came, has sent me; that you might receive your sight, and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
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 something like scales; and he recovered his sight, and arose, and was immersed:
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 for several days remained with the disciples at Damascus.
20 Og straks prædikede han i Synagogerne om Jesus, at han er Guds Søn.
And straightway in the synagogues he proclaimed Jesus, 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 that heard him were astonished, and said, Is not this he who, in Jerusalem, spread desolation among them who called on his name; and came hither on purpose to carry such 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.
But Saul became stronger, and confounded the Jews that dwelt at Damascus, evincing that this is the Messiah.
23 Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Råd om at slå ham ihjel.
And, after many days, the Jews conspired 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 made known to Saul; and they watched the gates, day and night, to murder 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 took him by night, and let him down by the wall 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 when he was come to Jerusalem, he attempted to associate with the disciples; but they feared 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, 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 he had preached boldly, 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; and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus.
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 spoke, and disputed with the Hellenists; but they attempted 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, being informed of it, conducted him to Cesarea, 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 the congregations though all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, being edified, had rest; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the admonition of the Holy Spirit, 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, that Peter, making a tour through all the congregations, came also to the saints that dwelt 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, whose name was Eneas, who has a palsy, and had kept his bed eight years.
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, the Messiah, heals you; arise, and make your bed. And he arose immediately.
35 Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron så ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.
And all the inhabitants of Lydda and Saron saw him, and 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.
And there was at Joppa, a certain female disciple, named Tabitha, who, by interpretation, is called Dorcas; and she was full of good works, and alm-deeds, 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.
And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died. And when they had washed her, they laid 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 as Lydda was near to Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was there, sent two men to him, entreating him that he would not delay to come 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.
And Peter arose, and went with them. And when he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping; and showing the coats and mantles, which Dorcas made, while 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.
And Peter putting them all out, kneeled down, and prayed; and turning to the body, he 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 giving her his hand, he raised her up; and having called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
42 Men det blev vitterligt over hele Joppe, og mange troede på Herren.
And this was known throughout all Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.
43 Og det skete, at han blev mange Dage i Joppe hos en vis Simon, en Garver.
And he continued many days at Joppa, in the house of one Simon, a tanner.
