Acts 2
1 And when the days of Pentecost were completed, they were all together in the same place.
Og da Pinsefestens Dag kom, vare de alle endrægtigt forsamlede.
2 And suddenly, there came a sound from heaven, like that of a wind approaching violently, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting.
Og der kom pludseligt fra Himmelen en Lyd som af et fremfarende vældigt Vejr og fyldte hele Huset, hvor de sade.
3 And there appeared to them separate tongues, as if of fire, which settled upon each one of them.
Og der viste sig for dem Tunger som af Ild, der fordelte sig og satte sig paa hver enkelt af dem.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit. And they began to speak in various languages, just as the Holy Spirit bestowed eloquence to them.
Og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligaand, og de begyndte at tale i andre Tungemaal, efter hvad Aanden gav dem at udsige.
5 Now there were Jews staying in Jerusalem, pious men from every nation that is under heaven.
Men der var Jøder, bosiddende i Jerusalem, gudfrygtige Mænd af alle Folkeslag under Himmelen.
6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together and was confused in mind, because each one was listening to them speaking in his own language.
Da denne Lyd kom, strømmede Mængden sammen og blev forvirret; thi hver enkelt hørte dem tale paa hans eget Maal.
7 Then all were astonished, and they wondered, saying: “Behold, are not all of these who are speaking Galileans?
Og de forbavsedes alle og undrede sig og sagde: „Se, ere ikke alle disse, som tale, Galilæere?
8 And how is it that we have each heard them in our own language, into which we were born?
Hvor kunne vi da høre dem tale, hver paa vort eget Maal, hvori vi ere fødte,
9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and those who inhabit Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,
Parthere og Medere og Elamiter, og vi, som høre hjemme i Mesopotamien, Judæa og Kappadokien, Pontus og Asien,
10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya which are around Cyrene, and new arrivals of the Romans,
i Frygien og Pamfylien, Ægypten og Libyens Egne ved Kyrene, og vi her boende Romere,
11 likewise Jews and new converts, Cretans and Arabs: we have heard them speaking in our own languages the mighty deeds of God.”
Jøder og Proselyter, Kretere og Arabere, vi høre dem tale om Guds store Gerninger i vore Tungemaal?‟
12 And they were all astonished, and they wondered, saying to one another: “But what does this mean?”
Og de forbavsedes alle og vare tvivlraadige og sagde den ene til den anden: „Hvad kan dette være?‟
13 But others mockingly said, “These men are full of new wine.”
Men andre sagde spottende: „De ere fulde af sød Vin.‟
14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and he spoke to them: “Men of Judea, and all those who are staying in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and incline your ears to my words.
Da stod Peter frem med de elleve og opløftede sin Røst og talte til dem: „I jødiske Mænd og alle I, som bo i Jerusalem! dette være eder vitterligt, og laaner Øre til mine Ord!
15 For these men are not inebriated, as you suppose, for it is the third hour of the day.
Thi disse ere ikke drukne, som I mene; det er jo den tredje Time paa Dagen;
16 But this is what was spoken of by the prophet Joel:
men dette er, hvad der er sagt ved Profeten Joel:
17 ‘And this shall be: in the last days, says the Lord, I will pour out, from my Spirit, upon all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy. And your youths shall see visions, and your elders shall dream dreams.
„Og det skal ske i de sidste Dage, siger Gud, da vil jeg udgyde af min Aand over alt Kød; og eders Sønner og eders Døtre skulle profetere, og de unge iblandt eder skulle se Syner, og de gamle iblandt eder skulle have Drømme.
18 And certainly, upon my men and women servants in those days, I will pour out from my Spirit, and they shall prophesy.
Ja, endog over mine Trælle og over mine Trælkvinder vil jeg i de Dage udgyde af min Aand, og de skulle profetere.
19 And I will bestow wonders in heaven above, and signs on earth below: blood and fire and the vapor of smoke.
Og jeg vil lade ske Undere paa Himmelen oventil og Tegn paa Jorden nedentil, Blod og Ild og rygende Damp.
20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood, before the great and manifest day of the Lord arrives.
Solen skal forvandles til Mørke og Maanen til Blod, førend Herrens store og herlige Dag kommer.
21 And this shall be: whoever shall invoke the name of the Lord will be saved.’
Og det skal ske, enhver, som paakalder Herrens Navn, skal frelses.‟ —
22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene is a man confirmed by God among you through the miracles and wonders and signs that God accomplished through him in your midst, just as you also know.
I israelitiske Mænd! hører disse Ord: Jesus af Nazareth, en Mand, som fra Gud var godtgjort for eder ved kraftige Gerninger og Undere og Tegn, hvilke Gud gjorde ved ham midt iblandt eder, som I jo selv vide,
23 This man, under the definitive plan and foreknowledge of God, was delivered by the hands of the unjust, afflicted, and put to death.
ham, som efter Guds bestemte Raadslutning og Forudviden var bleven forraadt, ham have I ved lovløses Haand korsfæstet og ihjelslaaet.
24 And he whom God has raised up has broken the sorrows of Hell, for certainly it was impossible for him to be held by it. (questioned)
Men Gud oprejste ham, idet han gjorde Ende paa Dødens Veer, eftersom det ikke var muligt, at han kunde fastholdes af den.
25 For David said about him: ‘I foresaw the Lord always in my sight, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved.
Thi David siger med Henblik paa ham: „Jeg havde altid Herren for mine Øjne; thi han er ved min højre Haand, for at jeg ikke skal rokkes.
26 Because of this, my heart has rejoiced, and my tongue has exulted. Moreover, my flesh shall also rest in hope.
Derfor glædede mit Hjerte sig, og min Tunge jublede, ja, ogsaa mit Kød skal bo i Haab;
27 For you will not abandon my soul to Hell, nor will you allow your Holy One to see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
thi du skal ikke lade min Sjæl tilbage i Dødsriget, ikke heller tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse. (Hadēs g86)
28 You have made known to me the ways of life. You will completely fill me with happiness by your presence.’
Du har kundgjort mig Livets Veje; du skal fylde mig med Glæde for dit Aasyn.‟
29 Noble brothers, permit me to speak freely to you about the Patriarch David: for he passed away and was buried, and his sepulcher is with us, even to this very day.
I Mænd, Brødre! Jeg kan sige med Frimodighed til eder om Patriarken David, at han er baade død og begraven, og hans Grav er hos os indtil denne Dag.
30 Therefore, he was a prophet, for he knew that God had sworn an oath to him about the fruit of his loins, about the One who would sit upon his throne.
Da han nu var en Profet og vidste, at Gud med Ed havde tilsvoret ham, at af hans Lænds Frugt skulde en sidde paa hans Trone,
31 Foreseeing this, he was speaking about the Resurrection of the Christ. For he was neither left behind in Hell, nor did his flesh see corruption. (Hadēs g86)
talte han, forudseende, om Kristi Opstandelse, at hverken blev han ladt tilbage i Dødsriget, ej heller saa hans Kød Forraadnelse. (Hadēs g86)
32 This Jesus, God raised up again, and of this we are all witnesses.
Denne Jesus oprejste Gud, hvorom vi alle ere Vidner.
33 Therefore, being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the Promise of the Holy Spirit, he poured this out, just as you now see and hear.
Efter at nu han ved Guds højre Haand er ophøjet og af Faderen har faaet den Helligaands Forjættelse, har han udgydt denne, hvilket I baade se og høre.
34 For David did not ascend into heaven. But he himself said: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: Sit at my right hand,
Thi David for ikke op til Himmelen; men han siger selv: „Herren sagde til min Herre: Sæt dig ved min højre Haand,
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’
indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.‟
36 Therefore, may the entire house of Israel know most certainly that God has made this same Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.”
Derfor skal hele Israels Hus vide for vist, at denne Jesus, hvem I korsfæstede, har Gud gjort baade til Herre og til Kristus.‟
37 Now when they had heard these things, they were contrite in heart, and they said to Peter and to the other Apostles: “What should we do, noble brothers?”
Men da de hørte dette, stak det dem i Hjertet, og de sagde til Peter og de øvrige Apostle: „I Mænd, Brødre! hvad skulle vi gøre?‟
38 Yet truly, Peter said to them: “Do penance; and be baptized, each one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the remission of your sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Men Peter sagde til dem: „Omvender eder, og hver af eder lade sig døbe paa Jesu Kristi Navn til eders Synders Forladelse; og I skulle faa den Helligaands Gave.
39 For the Promise is for you and for your sons, and for all who are far away: for whomever the Lord our God will have called.”
Thi for eder er Forjættelsen og for eders Børn og for alle dem, som ere langt borte, saa mange som Herren vor Gud vil tilkalde.‟
40 And then, with very many other words, he testified and he exhorted them, saying, “Save yourselves from this depraved generation.”
Ogsaa med mange andre Ord vidnede han for dem og formanede dem, idet han sagde: „Lader eder frelse fra denne vanartede Slægt!‟
41 Therefore, those who accepted his discourse were baptized. And about three thousand souls were added on that day.
De, som nu toge imod hans Ord, bleve døbte; og der føjedes samme Dag omtrent tre Tusinde Sjæle til.
42 Now they were persevering in the doctrine of the Apostles, and in the communion of the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers.
Og de holdt fast ved Apostlenes Lære og Samfundet, Brødets Brydelse og Bønnerne.
43 And fear developed in every soul. Also, many miracles and signs were accomplished by the Apostles in Jerusalem. And there was a great awe in everyone.
Men der kom Frygt over enhver Sjæl, og der skete mange Undere og Tegn ved Apostlene.
44 And then all who believed were together, and they held all things in common.
Og alle de troende holdt sig sammen og havde alle Ting fælles.
45 They were selling their possessions and belongings, and dividing them to all, just as any of them had need.
Og de solgte deres Ejendom og Gods og delte det ud iblandt alle, efter hvad enhver havde Trang til.
46 Also, they continued, daily, to be of one accord in the temple and to break bread among the houses; and they took their meals with exultation and simplicity of heart,
Og idet de hver Dag vedholdende og endrægtigt kom i Helligdommen og brød Brødet hjemme, fik de deres Føde med Fryd og i Hjertets Enfold,
47 praising God greatly, and holding favor with all the people. And every day, the Lord increased those who were being saved among them.
idet de lovede Gud og havde Yndest hos hele Folket. Men Herren føjede daglig til dem nogle, som lode sig frelse.
