Acts 13
1 Now there were in the church which was at Antioch, prophets and doctors, among whom was Barnabas, and Simon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manahen, who was the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
Men i Antiokia, i den derværende Menighed, var der Profeter og Lærere, nemlig Barnabas og Simeon, med Tilnavn Niger, og Kyrenæeren Lukius og Manaen, en Fosterbroder af Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, og Saulus.
2 And as they were ministering to the Lord, and fasting, the Holy Ghost said to them: Separate me Saul and Barnabas, for the work whereunto I have taken them.
Medens de nu holdt Gudstjeneste og fastede, sagde den Helligaand: „Udtager mig Barnabas og Saulus til den Gerning, hvortil jeg har kaldet dem.”
3 Then they, fasting and praying, and imposing their hands upon them, sent them away.
Da fastede de og bade og lagde Hænderne paa dem og lode dem fare.
4 So they being sent by the Holy Ghost, went to Seleucia: and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
Da de nu saaledes vare udsendte af den Helligaand, droge de ned til Seleukia og sejlede derfra til Kypern.
5 And when they were come to Salamina, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. And they had John also in the ministry.
Og da de vare komne til Salamis, forkyndte de Guds Ord i Jødernes Synagoger; men de havde ogsaa Johannes til Medhjælper.
6 And when they had gone through the whole island, as far as Paphos, they found a certain man, a magician, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-jesu:
Og da de vare dragne igennem hele Øen indtil Pafus, fandt de en Troldkarl, en falsk Profet, en Jøde, hvis Navn var Barjesus.
7 Who was with the proconsul Sergius Paulus, a prudent man. He sending for Barnabas and Saul, desired to hear the word of God.
Han var hos Statholderen Sergius Paulus, en forstandig Mand. Denne kaldte Barnabas og Saulus til sig og attraaede at høre Guds Ord.
8 But Elymas the magician (for so his name is interpreted) withstood them, seeking to turn away the proconsul from the faith.
Men Elimas, Troldkarlen, (thi dette betyder hans Navn), stod dem imod og søgte at vende Statholderen bort fra Troen.
9 Then Saul, otherwise Paul, filled with the Holy Ghost, looking upon him,
Men Saulus, som ogsaa kaldes Paulus, blev fyldt med den Helligaand, saa fast paa ham og sagde:
10 Said: O full of all guile, and of all deceit, child of the devil, enemy of all justice, thou ceasest not to pervert the right ways of the Lord.
„O, du Djævelens Barn, fuld af al Svig og al Underfundighed, du Fjende af al Retfærdighed! vil du ikke holde op med at forvende Herrens de lige Veje?
11 And now behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a time. And immediately there fell a mist and darkness upon him, and going about, he sought some one to lead him by the hand.
Og nu se, Herrens Haand er over dig, og du skal blive blind og til en Tid ikke se Solen.” Men straks faldt der Mulm og Mørke over ham, og han gik omkring og søgte efter nogen, som kunde lede ham.
12 Then the proconsul, when he had seen what was done, believed, admiring at the doctrine of the Lord.
Da Statholderen saa det, som var sket, troede han, slagen af Forundring over Herrens Lære.
13 Now when Paul and they that were with him had sailed from Paphos, they came to Perge in Pamphylia. And John departing from them, returned to Jerusalem.
Paulus og de, som vare med ham, sejlede da ud fra Pafus og kom til Perge i Pamfylien. Men Johannes skiltes fra dem og vendte tilbage til Jerusalem.
14 But they passing through Perge, came to Antioch in Pisidia: and entering into the synagogue on the sabbath day, they sat down.
Men de droge videre fra Perge og kom til Antiokia i Pisidien og gik ind i Synagogen paa Sabbatsdagen og satte sig.
15 And after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying: Ye men, brethren, if you have any word of exhortation to make to the people, speak.
Men efter Forelæsningen af Loven og Profeterne sendte Synagogeforstanderne Bud hen til dem og lode sige: „I Mænd, Brødre! have I noget Formaningsord til Folket, da siger frem!”
16 Then Paul rising up, and with his hand bespeaking silence, said: Ye men of Israel, and you that fear God, give ear.
Men Paulus stod op og slog til Lyd med Haanden og sagde: „I israelitiske Mænd og I, som frygte Gud, hører til!
17 The God of the people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they were sojourners in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought them out from thence,
Dette Folks, Israels Gud udvalgte vore Fædre og ophøjede Folket i Udlændigheden i Ægyptens Land og førte dem derfra med løftet Arm.
18 And for the space of forty years endured their manners in the desert.
Og omtrent fyrretyve Aar taalte han deres Færd i Ørkenen.
19 And destroying seven nations in the land of Chanaan, divided their land among them, by lot,
Og han udryddede syv Folk i Kanaans Land og fordelte disses Land iblandt dem,
20 As it were, after four hundred and fifty years: and after these things, he gave unto them judges, until Samuel the prophet.
og derefter i omtrent fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Aar gav han dem Dommere indtil Profeten Samuel.
21 And after that they desired a king: and God gave them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, forty years.
Og derefter bade de om en Konge; og Gud gav dem Saul, Kis's Søn, en Mand af Benjamins Stamme, i fyrretyve Aar.
22 And when he had removed him, he raised them up David to be king: to whom giving testimony, he said: I have found David, the son of Jesse, a man according to my own heart, who shall do all my wills.
Og da han havde taget ham bort, oprejste han dem David til Konge, om hvem han ogsaa vidnede, og sagde: „Jeg har fundet David, Isajs Søn, en Mand efter mit Hjerte, som skal gøre al min Villie.”
23 Of this man’s seed God according to his promise, hath raised up to Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
Af dennes Sæd bragte Gud efter Forjættelsen Israel en Frelser, Jesus,
24 John first preaching, before his coming, the baptism of penance to all the people of Israel.
efter at Johannes forud for hans Fremtræden havde prædiket Omvendelses-Daab for hele Israels Folk.
25 And when John was fulfilling his course, he said: I am not he, whom you think me to be: but behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of his feet I am not worthy to loose.
Men da Johannes var ved at fuldende sit Løb, sagde han: „Hvad anse I mig for at være? Mig er det ikke; men se, der kommer en efter mig, hvis Sko jeg ikke er værdig at løse.”
26 Men, brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you fear God, to you the word of this salvation is sent.
I Mænd, Brødre, Sønner af Abrahams Slægt, og de iblandt eder, som frygte Gud! Til os er Ordet om denne Frelse sendt.
27 For they that inhabited Jerusalem, and the rulers thereof, not knowing him, nor the voices of the prophets, which are read every sabbath, judging him have fulfilled them.
Thi de, som bo i Jerusalem, og deres Raadsherrer kendte ham ikke; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved Profeternes Ord, som forelæses hver Sabbat.
28 And finding no cause of death in him, they desired of Pilate, that they might kill him.
Og om end de ingen Dødsskyld fandt hos ham, bade de dog Pilatus, at han maatte blive slaaet ihjel.
29 And when they had fulfilled all things that were written of him, taking him down from the tree, they laid him in a sepulchre.
Men da de havde fuldbragt alle Ting, som ere skrevne om ham, toge de ham ned af Træet og lagde ham i en Grav.
30 But God raised him up from the dead the third day:
Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,
31 Who was seen for many days, by them who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who to this present are his witnesses to the people.
og han blev set i flere Dage af dem, som vare gaaede med ham op fra Galilæa til Jerusalem, dem, som nu ere hans Vidner for Folket.
32 And we declare unto you, that the promise which was made to our fathers,
Og vi forkynde eder den Forjættelse, som blev given til Fædrene, at Gud har opfyldt denne for os, deres Børn, idet han oprejste Jesus;
33 This same God hath fulfilled to our children, raising up Jesus, as in the second psalm also is written: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
som der ogsaa er skrevet i den anden Psalme: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag.”
34 And to shew that he raised him up from the dead, not to return now any more to corruption, he said thus: I will give you the holy things of David faithful.
Men at han har oprejst ham fra de døde, saa at han ikke mere skal vende tilbage til Forraadnelse, derom har han sagt saaledes: „Jeg vil give eder Davids hellige Forjættelser, de trofaste.”
35 And therefore, in another place also, he saith: Thou shalt not suffer thy holy one to see corruption.
Thi han siger ogsaa i en anden Psalme: „Du skal ikke tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse.”
36 For David, when he had served in his generation, according to the will of God, slept: and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption.
David sov jo hen, da han i sin Livstid havde tjent Guds Raadslutning, og han blev henlagt hos sine Fædre og saa Forraadnelse;
37 But he whom God hath raised from the dead, saw no corruption.
men den, som Gud oprejste, saa ikke Forraadnelse.
38 Be it known therefore to you, men, brethren, that through him forgiveness of sins is preached to you: and from all the things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
Saa være det eder vitterligt, I Mænd, Brødre! at ved ham forkyndes der eder Syndernes Forladelse;
39 In him every one that believeth, is justified.
og fra alt, hvorfra I ikke kunde retfærdiggøres ved Mose Lov, retfærdiggøres ved ham enhver, som tror.
40 Beware, therefore, lest that come upon you which is spoken in the prophets:
Ser nu til, at ikke det, som er sagt ved Profeterne, kommer over eder:
41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which you will not believe, if any man shall tell it you.
„Ser, I Foragtere, og forundrer eder og bliver til intet; thi en Gerning gør jeg i eders Dage, en Gerning, som I ikke vilde tro, dersom nogen fortalte eder den.”
42 And as they went out, they desired them, that on the next sabbath, they would speak unto them these words.
Men da de gik ud, bad man dem om, at disse Ord maatte blive talte til dem paa den følgende Sabbat.
43 And when the synagogue was broken up, many of the Jews, and of the strangers who served God, followed Paul and Barnabas: who speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
Men da Forsamlingen var opløst, fulgte mange af Jøderne og af de gudfrygtige Proselyter Paulus og Barnabas, som talte til dem og formanede dem til at blive fast ved Guds Naade.
44 But the next sabbath day, the whole city almost came together, to hear the word of God.
Men paa den følgende Sabbat forsamledes næsten hele Byen for at høre Guds Ord.
45 And the Jews seeing the multitudes, were filled with envy, and contradicted those things which were said by Paul, blaspheming.
Men da Jøderne saa Skarerne, bleve de fulde af Nidkærhed og modsagde det, som blev talt af Paulus, ja, baade sagde imod og spottede.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas said boldly: To you it behoved us first to speak the word of God: but because you reject it, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Men Paulus og Barnabas talte frit ud og sagde: „Det var nødvendigt, at Guds Ord først skulde tales til eder; men efterdi I støde det fra eder og ikke agte eder selv værdige til det evige Liv, se, saa vende vi os til Hedningerne. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so the Lord hath commanded us: I have set thee to be the light of the Gentiles; that thou mayest be for salvation unto the utmost part of the earth.
Thi saaledes har Herren befalet os: „Jeg har sat dig til Hedningers Lys, for at du skal være til Frelse lige ud til Jordens Ende.”
48 And the Gentiles hearing it, were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to life everlasting, believed. (aiōnios g166)
Men da Hedningerne hørte dette, bleve de glade og priste Herrens Ord, og de troede, saa mange, som vare bestemte til evigt Liv, (aiōnios g166)
49 And the word of the Lord was published throughout the whole country.
og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.
50 But the Jews stirred up religious and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas: and cast them out of their coasts.
Men Jøderne ophidsede de fornemme gudfrygtige Kvinder og de første Mænd i Byen; og de vakte en Forfølgelse imod Paulus og Barnabas og joge dem ud fra deres Grænser.
51 But they, shaking off the dust of their feet against them, came to Iconium.
Men de rystede Støvet af deres Fødder imod dem og droge til Ikonium.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Ghost.
Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligaand.
