Acts 18
1 And after these things Paul having separated from Athens, he came to Corinth.
Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth.
2 And having found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by origin, who recently came from Italy, and his wife Priscilla, because Claudius arranged for all the Jews to separate from Rome, he came to them.
Der traf han en Jøde ved Navn Akvila, født i Pontus, som nylig var kommen fra Italien med sin Hustru Priskilla, fordi Klaudius havde befalet, at alle Jøderne skulde forlade Rom. Til disse gik han.
3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and was working, for they were of the tentmakers craft.
Og efterdi han øvede det samme Haandværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Haandværk.
4 And he was discoursing in the synagogue every sabbath, and was persuading Jews and Greeks.
Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen paa hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
5 And when both Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was being held by the Spirit, fully testifying to the Jews, Jesus the Christ.
Men da Silas og Timotheus kom ned fra Makedonien, var Paulus helt optagen af at tale og vidnede for Jøderne, at Jesus er Kristus.
6 But when they opposed and slandered him, having shaken out his clothes, he said to them, Your blood is upon your heads. I am clean. From henceforth I will go to the Gentiles.
Men da de stode imod og spottede, rystede han Støvet af sine Klæder og sagde til dem: „Eders Blod komme over eders Hoved! Jeg er ren; herefter vil jeg gaa til Hedningerne.‟
7 And having departed from there, he went into the house of a certain man named Justus, who worships God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue.
Og han gik bort derfra og gik ind til en Mand ved Navn Justus, som frygtede Gud, og hvis Hus laa ved Siden af Synagogen.
8 And Crispus, the synagogue ruler, believed in the Lord with his whole household, and many of the Corinthians who heard believed, and were immersed.
Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede paa Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.
9 And the Lord spoke to Paul by a vision at night, Fear not, but speak, and be not silent,
Men Herren sagde til Paulus i et Syn om Natten: „Frygt ikke, men tal og ti ikke,
10 because I am with thee, and no man will lay upon thee to harm thee, because many people are for me in this city.
eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Haand paa dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By.‟
11 And he remained a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Og han slog sig ned der et Aar og seks Maaneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
12 But Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord attacked Paul and brought him to the judgment seat,
Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
13 saying, This man is persuading men to worship God against the law.
„Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven.‟
14 But when Paul was going to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, If therefore indeed it were some crime or evil reckless deed, O ye Jews, I would have tolerated you according to the matter.
Og da Paulus vilde oplade Munden, sagde Gallio til Jøderne: „Dersom det var nogen Uret eller Misgerning, I Jøder! vilde jeg, som billigt var, taalmodigt høre paa eder.
15 But if it is an issue about a word and names and the law from you, look ye yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things.
Men er det Stridsspørgsmaal om Lære og Navne og om den Lov, som I have, da ser selv dertil; thi jeg vil ikke være Dommer over disse Ting.‟
16 And he drove them from the judgment seat.
Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
17 But all the Greeks, having taken Sosthenes the synagogue ruler, were beating him in front of the judgment seat. And Gallio was not going to judge, even of these things.
Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
18 But Paul, who still remained considerable days with the brothers, having separated, sailed away to Syria (and with him Priscilla and Aquila), having shaved his head in Cenchrea, for he had a vow.
Men Paulus blev der endnu i mange Dage; derefter tog han Afsked med Brødrene og sejlede bort til Syrien og med ham Priskilla og Akvila, efter at han havde ladet sit Haar klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte paa sig.
19 And he came to Ephesus and left behind those there, but having entered into the synagogue himself, he discoursed with the Jews.
Men de kom til Efesus; og der lod han hine blive tilbage; men han selv gik ind i Synagogen og samtalede med Jøderne.
20 And when they asked him to remain on more time with them, he did not consent,
Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;
21 but separated from them, having said, I must definitely keep the coming feast at Jerusalem, but I will return again to you, God willing. And he launched from Ephesus.
men han tog Afsked og sagde: „[Jeg maa endelig holde denne forestaaende Højtid i Jerusalem; men] jeg vil atter vende tilbage til eder, om Gud vil.‟ Og han sejlede ud fra Efesus
22 And after coming down to Caesarea, having gone up and greeted the church, he went down to Antioch.
og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste paa Menigheden og drog saa ned til Antiokia.
23 And after spending some time, he departed, passing through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, successively, strengthening all the disciples.
Og da han havde opholdt sig der nogen Tid, drog han bort og rejste fra Sted til Sted igennem det galatiske Land og Frygien og styrkede alle Disciplene.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by origin, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus, being mighty in the scriptures.
Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.
25 This was a man who was instructed in the way of the Lord. And being fervent in the Spirit, he was speaking and teaching accurately the things about the Lord, knowing only the immersion of John.
Denne var undervist om Herrens Vej, og brændende i Aanden talte og lærte han grundigt om Jesus, skønt han kun kendte Johannes's Daab.
26 And this man began to speak boldly in the synagogue, but when Aquila and Priscilla heard him, they took him aside, and expounded to him the way of God more accurately.
Og han begyndte at tale frimodigt i Synagogen. Men da Priskilla og Akvila hørte ham, toge de ham til sig og udlagde ham Guds Vej nøjere.
27 And when he intended to pass through into Achaia, the brothers wrote, having encouraged the disciples to receive him, who, when he arrived, assisted much those who believed through the grace.
Men da han vilde rejse videre til Akaja, skrev Brødrene til Disciplene og opmuntrede dem til at tage imod ham. Da han var kommen derhen, var han ved Guds Naade de troende til megen Nytte;
28 For he forcibly refuted the Jews in public, demonstrating by the scriptures Jesus to be the Christ.
thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
