Acts 1
1 I composed the first discourse, O Theophilus, concerning all things which Jesus began both to do and to teach,
Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte baade at gøre og lære,
2 until that day in which, having by the Holy Spirit charged the apostles whom he had chosen, he was taken up;
indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligaand;
3 to whom also he presented himself living, after he had suffered, with many proofs; being seen by them during forty days, and speaking of the things which concern the kingdom of God;
for hvem han ogsaa, 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.
4 and, being assembled with [them], commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to await the promise of the Father, which [said he] ye have heard of me.
Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke maatte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, „hvorom,” sagde han, „I have hørt af mig.
5 For John indeed baptised with water, but ye shall be baptised with the Holy Spirit after now not many days.
Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand om ikke mange Dage.”
6 They therefore, being come together, asked him saying, Lord, is it at this time that thou restorest the kingdom to Israel?
Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: „Herre! opretter du paa denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?”
7 And he said to them, It is not yours to know times or seasons, which the Father has placed in his own authority;
Men han sagde til dem: „Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
8 but ye will receive power, the Holy Spirit having come upon you, and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.
Men I skulle faa Kraft, naar den Helligaand kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner baade i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende.”
9 And having said these things he was taken up, they beholding [him], and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de saa derpaa, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
10 And as they were gazing into heaven, as he was going, behold, also two men stood by them in white clothing,
Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
11 who also said, Men of Galilee, why do ye stand looking into heaven? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven, shall thus come in the manner in which ye have beheld him going into heaven.
og de sagde: „I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor staa I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen paa samme Maade, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen.”
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called [the mount] of Olives, which is near Jerusalem, a sabbath-day's journey off.
Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
13 And when they were come into [the city], they went up to the upper chamber, where were staying both Peter, and John, and James, and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James [son] of Alphaeus, and Simon the zealot, and Jude [the brother] of James.
Og da de kom derind, gik de op paa 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.
14 These gave themselves all with one accord to continual prayer, with [several] women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
15 And in those days Peter, standing up in the midst of the brethren, said, (the crowd of names [who were] together [was] about a hundred and twenty, )
Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde, (og der var en Skare samlet paa omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
16 Brethren, it was necessary that the scripture should have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before, by the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus;
„I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligaand forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
17 for he was numbered amongst us, and had received a part in this service.
thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde faaet denne Tjenestes Lod.
18 (This [man] then indeed got a field with [the] reward of iniquity, and, having fallen down headlong, burst in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
19 And it was known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that that field was called in their own dialect Aceldama; that is, field of blood.)
hvilket ogsaa er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, saa at den Ager kaldes paa deres eget Maal Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
20 For it is written in [the] book of Psalms, Let his homestead become desolate, and let there be no dweller in it; and, Let another take his overseership.
Thi der er skrevet i Psalmernes Bog: „Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den,” og: „Lad en anden faa hans Tilsynsgerning.”
21 It is necessary therefore, that of the men who have assembled with us all [the] time in which the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us,
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,
22 beginning from the baptism of John until the day in which he was taken up from us, one of these should be a witness with us of his resurrection.
lige fra Johannes's Daab indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse.”
23 And they appointed two, Joseph, who was called Barsabas, who had been surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou Lord, knower of the hearts of all, shew which one of these two thou hast chosen,
Og de bade og sagde: „Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
25 to receive the lot of this service and apostleship, from which Judas transgressing fell to go to his own place.
til at faa denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gaa hen til sit eget Sted.”
26 And they gave lots on them, and the lot fell on Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt paa Matthias, og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
