Apostelenes gerninger 1
1 Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte både at gøre og lære,
The first account I prepared, Theophilus [God-lover], concerned all that Jesus began to do and to teach
2 indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligånd;
until the day in which He was taken back, after He had given commandment, by Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom He had chosen;
3 for hvem han også, efter at han havde lidt, fremstillede sig levende ved mange Beviser, idet han viste sig for dem i fyrretyve Dage og talte om de Ting, der høre til Guds Rige.
to whom He also showed Himself alive, after His suffering, by many convincing evidences, appearing to them during forty days and speaking of things pertaining to the Kingdom of God.
4 Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke måtte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, "hvorom," sagde han, "I have hørt af mig.
And being together He directed them not to go away from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, “which you heard from me;
5 Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligånd om ikke mange Dage."
John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with Holy Spirit not many days from now.”
6 Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: "Herre! opretter du på denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?"
Well then, being together they asked Him saying, “Lord, are you going to restore the kingdom to Israel at this time?”
7 Men han sagde til dem: "Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
So He said to them: “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has placed within His own authority.
8 Men I skulle få Kraft, når den Helligånd kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner både i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende."
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be witnesses to me—both in Jerusalem, and all Judea and Samaria, and even to the last part of the earth.”
9 Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de så derpå, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
Upon saying these things, as they watched, He was lifted up, and a cloud took Him out of their sight.
10 Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
And as they were staring into the sky, while He was going, suddenly two men in white clothing stood beside them;
11 og de sagde: "I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor stå I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen på samme Måde, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen."
and they said: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into the sky? This very Jesus who is being taken up from you into the sky, He will come again in the precise manner that you observed Him going into the sky.”
12 Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
They then returned to Jerusalem from the mount called ‘of Olives’, which is near Jerusalem (a Sabbath day's journey).
13 Og da de kom derind, gik de op på den Sal, hvor de plejede at opholde sig, Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Andreas, Filip og Thomas, Bartholomæus og Matthæus, Jakob, Alfæus's Søn og Simon Zelotes, og Judas, Jakobs Søn.
When they had entered [the city] they went up into the upper room where they were staying: namely Peter and James, John and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas of James.
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
All these were continuing with one purpose in prayer and petition, along with the women, including Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
15 Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde: (og der var en Skare samlet på omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
Well in those days Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (the number of people assembled there was about 120) and said:
16 "I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligånd forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
“Men, brothers: It was necessary that this Scripture be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by David's mouth concerning Judas, who was guide to those who arrested Jesus;
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde fået denne Tjenestes Lod.
in that he was numbered with us and obtained his share in this ministry.”
18 Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
(In fact this man acquired a field with the wages of his wickedness, and falling headlong he burst open in the middle, and all his innards were spilled out.
19 hvilket også er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, så at den Ager kaldes på deres eget Mål Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
And it became known to all who lived in Jerusalem, so that in their own language that field came to be called ‘Akeldama’, that is, ‘Field of Blood’.)
20 Thi der er skrevet i Salmernes Bog: "Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den," og: "Lad en anden få hans Tilsynsgerning."
“Because it stands written in Book of Psalms: ‘Let his residence become desolate, and may no one live in it’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21 Derfor bør en af de Mænd, som vare sammen med os i hele den Tid, da den Herre Jesus gik ind og gik ud hos os,
So then, of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22 lige fra Johannes's Dåb indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse."
beginning from the baptism of John until the day when He was taken up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
So they nominated two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
24 Og de bade og sagde: "Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
And praying they said: “You, Lord, Knower of all hearts, show which one of these two You have chosen
25 til at få denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gå hen til sit eget Sted."
to receive the portion of this ministry and apostleship, out of which Judas turned aside to go into his own place.”
26 Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt på Matthias. og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven Apostles.
