Acts 2
1 When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together with one purpose.
Og da Pinsefestens Dag kom, vare de alle endrægtigt forsamlede.
2 And suddenly a roar came out of the sky, like the rushing of a violent wind, and it filled the whole 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 Fiery tongues appeared and were distributed to them, and it [a tongue] landed on 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 Holy Spirit and began to speak different languages, as the Spirit was granting to them to speak out.
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 devout men, Jews, from every nation under heaven, dwelling in Jerusalem.
Men der var Jøder, bosiddende i Jerusalem, gudfrygtige Mænd af alle Folkeslag under Himmelen.
6 So when that roar occurred, the crowd came together, and was bewildered, because each one was hearing them speaking to him in his own dialect.
Da denne Lyd kom, strømmede Mængden sammen og blev forvirret; thi hver enkelt hørte dem tale paa hans eget Maal.
7 So they were amazed and marveled, saying to one another: “Hey, aren't all these who are speaking Galileans?
Og de forbavsedes alle og undrede sig og sagde: „Se, ere ikke alle disse, som tale, Galilæere?
8 So how can each of us be hearing our own dialect in 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; those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
Parthere og Medere og Elamiter, og vi, som høre hjemme i Mesopotamien, Judæa og Kappadokien, Pontus og Asien,
10 in Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene; and visitors from Rome—both Jews and proselytes—
i Frygien og Pamfylien, Ægypten og Libyens Egne ved Kyrene, og vi her boende Romere,
11 Cretans and Arabians; we hear them declaring the great works of God in our own languages.”
Jøder og Proselyter, Kretere og Arabere, vi høre dem tale om Guds store Gerninger i vore Tungemaal?”
12 Yes they were all amazed and perplexed, saying one to another, “Whatever is going on?”
Og de forbavsedes alle og vare tvivlraadige og sagde den ene til den anden: „Hvad kan dette være?”
13 But different ones were jeering, saying, “They are full of sweet wine!”
Men andre sagde spottende: „De ere fulde af sød Vin.”
14 So Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and proclaimed to them: “Men—Jews and all who are dwelling in Jerusalem—let this be known to you; indeed, listen to my speech!
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 Because these are not drunk, as you suppose (since it is only 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 through the prophet Joel:
men dette er, hvad der er sagt ved Profeten Joel:
17 ‘It will be in the last days, says God: I will pour out from my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and your daughters will prophesy; your young men will see visions; your old men will dream a dream.
„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 In those days I will indeed pour out from my Spirit upon my male slaves and upon my female slaves, and they will prophesy.
Ja, endog over mine Trælle og over mine Trælkvinder vil jeg i de Dage udgyde af min Aand, og de skulle profetere.
19 I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below: blood and fire and smoke vapor.
Og jeg vil lade ske Undere paa Himmelen oventil og Tegn paa Jorden nedentil, Blod og Ild og rygende Damp.
20 The sun will be turned into darkness and the moon into ‘blood’ before the great and glorious day of the Lord will come.
Solen skal forvandles til Mørke og Maanen til Blod, førend Herrens store og herlige Dag kommer.
21 And it will be: whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved!’
Og det skal ske, enhver, som paakalder Herrens Navn, skal frelses.” —
22 “Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Natsorean, a man from God attested to you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by Him in your midst, as you yourselves well 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 Him—being delivered up by the established purpose and foreknowledge of God—you murdered, having taken Him with lawless hands and crucified Him;
ham, som efter Guds bestemte Raadslutning og Forudviden var bleven forraadt, ham have I ved lovløses Haand korsfæstet og ihjelslaaet.
24 whom God raised up, ending the labor pains of death, because it was not possible that He should be held by it.
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 says concerning Him: ‘I always saw the Lord before my face, because He is at my right side so that I not be shaken.
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 Therefore my heart was glad and my tongue rejoiced. Furthermore, even my flesh will repose upon hope,
Derfor glædede mit Hjerte sig, og min Tunge jublede, ja, ogsaa mit Kød skal bo i Haab;
27 because You will not abandon my soul in Hades, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see decay. (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 roads of life; with Your presence You make me full of gladness.’
Du har kundgjort mig Livets Veje; du skal fylde mig med Glæde for dit Aasyn.”
29 “Men, brothers, be it permitted to speak to you plainly about the patriarch David, that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this 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 So then, he being a prophet and knowing that God had sworn to him with an oath that of the fruit, according to flesh, of his loins He would raise up the Messiah to sit on 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 he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Messiah, that His soul was not abandoned in Hades, nor did His flesh see decay. (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, to which we all are witnesses.
Denne Jesus oprejste Gud, hvorom vi alle ere Vidner.
33 Therefore, having been exalted to God's right hand, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this that 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 Further, David did not ascend into the heavens, but he himself says: ‘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 a footstool for your feet.’
indtil jeg faar lagt dine Fjender som en Skammel for dine Fødder.”
36 Therefore, let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made Him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified!”
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 upon hearing this they were cut to the heart and said to Peter, and the rest of the Apostles, “Men, brothers, what shall we do?!”
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 So Peter said to them: “Repent and be baptized, each one of you, upon the name of Jesus Christ, for forgiveness of sins, and you will 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 to you, and to your children, and to all who are far away—as many, that is, as the Lord our God may call.”
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 With many different words he both testified and kept exhorting, saying, “Escape from this perverse generation!”
Ogsaa med mange andre Ord vidnede han for dem og formanede dem, idet han sagde: „Lader eder frelse fra denne vanartede Slægt!”
41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized, and that day about three thousand souls were added.
De, som nu toge imod hans Ord, bleve døbte; og der føjedes samme Dag omtrent tre Tusinde Sjæle til.
42 And they continued steadfastly in the Apostles' teaching and in the fellowship, both in the breaking of the bread and in the prayers.
Og de holdt fast ved Apostlenes Lære og Samfundet, Brødets Brydelse og Bønnerne.
43 Fear came upon every soul—many wonders and signs were taking place through the Apostles.
Men der kom Frygt over enhver Sjæl, og der skete mange Undere og Tegn ved Apostlene.
44 Now all who believed were together and had all things in common;
Og alle de troende holdt sig sammen og havde alle Ting fælles.
45 they started selling both possessions and goods and were distributing to all according as anyone had need.
Og de solgte deres Ejendom og Gods og delte det ud iblandt alle, efter hvad enhver havde Trang til.
46 So day by day they continued steadfastly with one purpose in the temple and broke bread from house to house; they received their share of food with gladness and singleness 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 and having favor with all the people. And day by day the Lord added to the Church those who were being saved.
idet de lovede Gud og havde Yndest hos hele Folket. Men Herren føjede daglig til dem nogle, som lode sig frelse.
