Apostelenes gerninger 1
1 Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte både at gøre og lære,
The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and 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 up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments 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 also he showed himself alive after his passion, by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the 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 assembled with [them], commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he], ye have heard from me.
5 Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligånd om ikke mange Dage."
For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days hence.
6 Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: "Herre! opretter du på denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?"
When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again 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.
And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
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 ye shall receive power after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost 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.
And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received 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 while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
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, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
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 mount called Olivet, which is from 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.
And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James [the son] of Alpheus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas [the brother] of James.
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
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):
And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said (the number of the names together were about a hundred and twenty, )
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, brethren, This scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde fået denne Tjenestes Lod.
For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of 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 purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels 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.
And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; so that that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, 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 book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and, His bishopric let another take.
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,
Wherefore, of these men who 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, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
23 Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
And they appointed 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 they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all [men], show which of these two thou hast chosen,
25 til at få denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gå hen til sit eget Sted."
That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might 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.
And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
