< 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 wrote, Theophilus, concerned all that Yeshua began both 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 received up, after he had given commandment through the Ruach ha-Kodesh to the emissaries 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 these he also showed himself alive after he suffered, by many proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days, and speaking about God's Kingdom.
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.
Being assembled together with them, he commanded them, "Do not depart from Jerusalem, but 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."
For John indeed immersed in water, but you will be immersed in the Ruach ha-Kodesh 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?"
Therefore, when they had come together, they asked him, "Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?"
7 Men han sagde til dem: "Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set 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 Ruach ha-Kodesh has come upon you. You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the farthest 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.
When he had said these things, as they were looking, he was taken 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,
While they were looking steadfastly into the sky as he went, look, two men stood by them in white clothing,
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."
who also said, "You men of Galil, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Yeshua, who was received up from you into the sky will come back in the same way as you saw 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.
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mountain called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.
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 come in, they went up into the upper room, where they were staying; that is Peter, John, Jacob, Andrew, Philip, Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, Jacob the son of Halfai, Shim'on the Zealot, and Judah the son of Jacob.
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
All these with one accord continued steadfastly in prayer, along with the women, and Miriam the mother of Yeshua, 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):
In these days, Peter stood up in the midst of the brothers (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), 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;
"Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Ruach ha-Kodesh spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judah, who was guide to those who took Yeshua.
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde fået denne Tjenestes Lod.
For he was numbered with us, and received his portion 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,
Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and falling headfirst his body burst open, and all his intestines gushed 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.
It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called 'Hakel-Dema,' that is, 'The 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."
For it is written in the scroll of Psalms, 'Let his habitation be made desolate, and let no one dwell 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,
"Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Yeshua 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 immersion of John, to the day that he was received 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.
They put forward two, Joseph called Barsabbas, 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
They prayed, and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all people, 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 take part in this ministry and office of emissary from which Judah turned away to go to his own place."
26 Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt på Matthias. og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven emissaries.
