Acts 12
1 And about that time, Herod the king put forth his hands to do evil to certain of those of the Assembly,
På den Tid lagde Kong Herodes den for at mishandle dem,
2 and he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword,
og Jakob, Johannes's Broder, lod han henrette med Sværd.
3 and having seen that it is pleasing to the Jews, he added to lay hold of Peter also—and they were the days of the Unleavened [Bread]—
Og da han så, at det behagede Jøderne, gik han videre og lod også Peter gribe. Det var de usyrede Brøds Dage.
4 whom also having seized, he put in prison, having delivered [him] to four squads of four soldiers to guard him, intending to bring him forth to the people after the Passover.
Og da han havde grebet ham, satte han ham i Fængsel og overgav ham til at bevogtes af fire Vagtskifter, hvert på fire Stridsmænd, da han efter Påsken vilde føre ham frem for Folket.
5 Peter, therefore, indeed, was kept in the prison, and fervent prayer was being made by the Assembly to God for him,
Så blev da Peter bevogtet i Fængselet; men der blev af Menigheden holdt inderlig Bøn til Gud for ham.
6 and when Herod was about to bring him forth, the same night was Peter sleeping between two soldiers, having been bound with two chains, guards were also keeping the prison before the door,
Men da Herodes vilde til at føre ham frem, sov Peter den Nat imellem to Stridsmænd, bunden med to Lænker, og Vagter foran Døren bevogtede Fængselet.
7 and behold, a messenger of the LORD stood by, and a light shone in the buildings, and having struck Peter on the side, he raised him up, saying, “Rise in haste,” and his chains fell from off [his] hands.
Og se, en Herrens Engel stod der, og et Lys strålede i Fangerummet, og han slog Peter i Siden og vækkede ham og sagde: "Stå op i Hast!" og Lænkerne faldt ham af Hænderne.
8 The messenger also said to him, “Gird yourself, and bind on your sandals”; and he did so; and he says to him, “Cast your garment around and follow me”;
Og Engelen sagde til ham: "Bind op om dig, og bind dine Sandaler på!" Og han gjorde så. Og han siger til ham: "Kast din Kappe om dig, og følg mig!"
9 and having gone forth, he was following him, and he did not know that it is true that which is done through the messenger, and was thinking he saw a vision,
Og han gik ud og fulgte ham, og han vidste ikke, at det, som skete ved Engelen, var virkeligt, men mente, at han så et Syn.
10 and having passed through a first ward, and a second, they came to the iron gate that is leading into the city, which opened to them of its own accord, and having gone forth, they went on through one street, and immediately the messenger departed from him.
Men de gik igennem den første og den anden Vagt og kom til den Jernport, som førte ud til Staden; denne åbnede sig for dem af sig selv, og de kom ud og gik en Gade frem, og straks skiltes Engelen fra ham.
11 And Peter having come to himself, said, “Now I have known of a truth that the LORD sent forth His messenger, and delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and all the expectation of the people of the Jews”;
Og da Peter kom til sig selv, sagde han: "Nu ved jeg i Sandhed, at Herren udsendte sin Engel og udfriede mig af Herodes's Hånd og al det jødiske Folks Forventning."
12 also, having considered, he came to the house of Mary, the mother of John, who is surnamed Mark, where there were many thronged together and praying.
Og da han havde besindet sig, gik han til Marias Hus, hun, som var Moder til Johannes, med Tilnavn Markus, hvor mange vare forsamlede og bade.
13 And Peter having knocked at the door of the porch, there came a girl to listen, by name Rhoda,
Men da han bankede på Døren til Portrummet, kom der en Pige ved Navn Rode for at høre efter.
14 and having known the voice of Peter, from the joy she did not open the porch, but having run in, told of the standing of Peter before the porch,
Og da hun kendte Peters Røst, lod hun af Glæde være at åbne Porten, men løb ind og forkyndte dem, at Peter stod uden for Porten.
15 and they said to her, “You are mad”; and she was confidently affirming [it] to be so, and they said, “It is his messenger”;
Da sagde de til hende: "Du raser." Men hun stod fast på, at det var således. Men de sagde: "Det er hans Engel."
16 and Peter was continuing knocking, and having opened, they saw him, and were astonished,
Men Peter blev ved at banke på, og da de lukkede op, så de ham og bleve forbavsede.
17 and having beckoned to them with the hand to be silent, he declared to them how the LORD brought him out of the prison, and he said, “Declare these things to James and to the brothers”; and having gone forth, he went on to another place.
Da vinkede han til dem med Hånden, at de skulde tie, og fortalte dem, hvorledes Herren havde ført ham ud af Fængselet, og han sagde: "Forkynder Jakob og Brødrene dette!" Og han gik ud og drog til et andet Sted.
18 And day having come, there was not a little stir among the soldiers what then was become of Peter,
Men da det blev Dag, var der ikke liden Uro iblandt Stridsmændene over, hvad der var blevet af Peter.
19 and Herod having sought for him, and having not found, having examined the guards, commanded [them] to be led away to punishment, and having gone down from Judea to Caesarea, he was abiding [there].
Men da Herodes søgte ham og ikke fandt ham, forhørte han Vagten og befalede, at de skulde henrettes. Og han drog ned fra Judæa til Kæsarea og opholdt sig der.
20 And Herod was highly displeased with the Tyrians and Sidonians, and with one accord they came to him, and having made a friend of Blastus, who [is] over the bed-chambers of the king, they were asking peace, because of their country being nourished from the king’s;
Men han lå i Strid med Tyrierne og Sidonierne. Men de kom endrægtigt til ham og fik Blastus, Kongens Kammerherre, på deres Side og bade om Fred, fordi deres Land fik Næringsmidler tilførte fra Kongens Land.
21 and on a set day, Herod having clothed himself in kingly clothing, and having sat down on the judgment seat, was making an oration to them,
Men på en fastsat Dag iførte Herodes sig en Kongedragt og satte sig på Tronen og holdt en Tale til dem,
22 and the populace were shouting, “The voice of a god, and not of a man!”
Og Folket råbte til ham: "DeterGudsRøstog ikke et Menneskes."
23 And immediately a messenger of the LORD struck him in return for that he did not give the glory to God, and having been eaten of worms, he expired.
Men straks slog en Herrens Engel ham, fordi han ikke gav Gud Æren; og han blev fortæret af Orme og udåndede.
24 And the word of God grew and multiplied,
Men Guds Ord havde Fremgang og udbredtes.
25 and Barnabas and Saul turned back out of Jerusalem, having fulfilled the ministry, having also taken John with [them], who was surnamed Mark.
Og Barnabas og Saulus vendte tilbage fra Jerusalem efter at have fuldført deres Ærinde, og de havde Johannes, med Tilnavn Markus, med sig.
