Acts 18
1 And after these things, Paul having departed out of Athens, came to Corinth,
Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth
2 and having found a certain Jew, by name Aquilas, of Pontus by birth, lately come from Italy, and his wife Priscilla—because of Claudius having directed all the Jews to depart out of Rome—he came to them,
Der traf han en Jøde ved Navn Akvila, født i Pontus, som nylig var kommen fra Italien med sin Hustru Priskilla, fordi Klaudius havde befalet, at alle Jøderne skulde forlade Rom. Til disse gik han.
3 and because of being of the same craft, he remained with them, and was working, for they were tentmakers as to craft;
Og efterdi han øvede det samme Håndværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Håndværk.
4 and he was reasoning in the synagogue every Sabbath, persuading both Jews and Greeks.
Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen på hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
5 And when both Silas and Timotheus came down from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the Spirit, testifying fully to the Jews Jesus the Christ;
Men da Silas og Timotheus kom ned fra Makedonien, var Paulus helt optagen af at tale og vidnede for Jøderne, at Jesus er Kristus.
6 and on their resisting and slandering, having shaken [his] garments, he said to them, “Your blood [is] on your head—I am clean; from now on I will go on to the nations.”
Men da de stode imod og spottede, rystede han Støvet af sine Klæder og sagde til dem: "Eders Blod komme over eders Hoved! Jeg er ren; herefter vil jeg gå til Hedningerne."
7 And having departed from there, he went to the house of a certain one, by name Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was adjoining the synagogue,
Og han gik bort derfra og gik ind til en Mand ved Navn Justus, som frygtede Gud, og hvis Hus lå ved Siden af Synagogen.
8 and Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue believed in the LORD with all his house, and many of the Corinthians hearing were believing, and they were being immersed.
Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede på Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.
9 And the LORD said through a vision in the night to Paul, “Do not be afraid, but be speaking and you may not be silent;
Men Herren sagde til Paulus i et Syn om Natten: "Frygt ikke, men tal og ti ikke,
10 because I am with you, and no one will set on you to do evil [to] you, because I have many people in this city”;
eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Hånd på dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By."
11 and he continued a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Og han slog sig ned der et År og seks Måneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
12 And Gallio being proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a rush with one accord on Paul, and brought him to the judgment seat,
Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
13 saying, “This one persuades men to worship God against the Law”;
"Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven."
14 and Paul being about to open [his] mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If, indeed, then, it was anything unrighteous, or an act of wicked recklessness, O Jews, according to reason I had borne with you,
Og da Paulus vilde oplade Munden, sagde Gallio til Jøderne: " Dersom det var nogen Uret eller Misgerning, I Jøder! vilde jeg, som billigt var, tålmodigt høre på eder.
15 but if it is a question concerning words and names, and of your law, look [to it] yourselves, for I do not intend to be a judge of these things,”
Men er det Stridsspørgsmål om Lære og Navne og om den Lov, som I have, da ser selv dertil; thi jeg vil ikke være Dommer over disse Ting."
16 and he drives them from the judgment seat;
Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
17 and all the Greeks having taken Sosthenes, the chief man of the synagogue, were beating [him] before the judgment seat, and Gallio was not even caring for these things.
Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
18 And Paul having remained yet a good many days, having taken leave of the brothers, was sailing to Syria—and with him [are] Priscilla and Aquilas—having shorn [his] head in Cenchera, for he had a vow;
Men Paulus blev der endnu i mange dage; derefter tog han Afsked med Brødrene og sejlede bort til Syrien og med ham Priskilla og Akvila, efter at han havde ladet sit Hår klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte på sig.
19 and he came down to Ephesus, and left them there, and he himself having entered into the synagogue reasoned with the Jews:
Men de kom til Efesus; og der lod han hine blive tilbage; men han selv gik ind i Synagogen og samtalede med Jøderne.
20 and they having requested [him] to remain a longer time with them, he did not consent,
Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;
21 but took leave of them, saying, “It is necessary for me by all means to keep the coming celebration at Jerusalem, and again I will return to you—God willing.” And he sailed from Ephesus,
men han tog Afsked og sagde: " (Jeg må endelig holde denne forestående Højtid i Jerusalem; men) jeg vil atter vende tilbage til eder, om Gud vil." Og han sejlede ud fra Efesus
22 and having come down to Caesarea, having gone up, and having greeted the assembly, he went down to Antioch.
og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste på Menigheden og drog så ned til Antiokia.
23 And having stayed some time, he went forth, going successively through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.
Og da han havde opholdt sig der nogen Tid, drog han bort og rejste fra Sted til Sted igennem det galatiske Land og Frygien og styrkede alle Disciplene.
24 And a certain Jew, Apollos by name, an Alexandrian by birth, a man of eloquence, being mighty in the Writings, came to Ephesus;
Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.
25 this one was instructed in the way of the LORD, and being fervent in the Spirit, was speaking and teaching exactly the things about the LORD, knowing only the immersion of John;
Denne var undervist om Herrens Vej, og brændende i Ånden talte og lærte han grundigt om Jesus, skønt han kun kendte Johannes's Dåb.
26 this one also began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquilas and Priscilla having heard of him, took him to [them], and more exactly set forth to him The Way of God,
Og han begyndte at tale frimodigt i Synagogen. Men da Priskilla og Akvila hørte ham, toge de ham til sig og udlagde ham Guds Vej nøjere.
27 and he resolving to go through into Achaia, the brothers wrote to the disciples, having exhorted them to receive him, who having come, helped them much who have believed through grace,
Men da han vilde rejse videre til Akaja, skrev Brødrene til Disciplene og opmuntrede dem til at tage imod ham. Da han var kommen derhen, var han ved Guds Nåde de troende til megen Nytte;
28 for he was powerfully refuting the Jews publicly, showing through the Writings Jesus to be the Christ.
thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
