Acts 28
1 And having been saved, then they knew that the island is called Malta,
Og da vi nu vare reddede, saa fik vi at vide, at Øen hed Malta.
2 and the foreigners were showing us no ordinary kindness, for having kindled a fire, they received us all, because of the pressing rain, and because of the cold;
Og Barbarerne viste os en usædvanlig Menneskekærlighed; thi de tændte et Baal og toge sig af os alle for den frembrydende Regns og Kuldens Skyld.
3 but Paul having gathered together a quantity of sticks, and having laid [them] on the fire, a viper—having come out of the heat—fastened on his hand.
Men da Paulus samlede en Bunke Ris og lagde paa Baalet, krøb der en Øgle ud paa Grund af Varmen og hængte sig fast ved hans Haand.
4 And when the foreigners saw the beast hanging from his hand, they said to one another, “Certainly this man is a murderer, whom, having been saved out of the sea, the justice did not permit to live”;
Da nu Barbarerne saa Dyret hænge ved hans Haand, sagde de til hverandre: „Sikkert er denne Mand en Morder, hvem Gengældelsen ikke har tilstedt at leve, skønt han er reddet fra Havet.‟
5 he then, indeed, having shaken off the beast into the fire, suffered no evil,
Men han rystede Dyret af i Ilden, og der skete ham intet ondt.
6 and they were expecting him to be about to be inflamed, or to suddenly fall down dead, and they, expecting [it] a long time, and seeing nothing uncommon happening to him, changing [their] minds, said he was a god.
Men de ventede, at han skulde hovne op eller pludseligt falde død om. Men da de havde ventet længe og saa, at der ikke skete ham noget usædvanligt, kom de paa andre Tanker og sagde, at han var en Gud.
7 And in the neighborhood of that place were lands of the principal man of the island, by name Publius, who, having received us, courteously lodged [us for] three days;
Men i Omegnen af dette Sted havde Øens fornemste Mand, ved Navn Publius, nogle Landejendomme. Han tog imod os og laante os venligt Herberge i tre Dage.
8 and it came to pass, the father of Publius was lying, oppressed with fevers and dysentery, to whom Paul, having entered and having prayed, having laid [his] hands on him, healed him;
Men det traf sig, at Publius's Fader laa syg af Feber og Blodgang. Til ham gik Paulus ind og bad og lagde Hænderne paa ham og helbredte ham.
9 this, therefore, being done, also the others in the island having sicknesses were coming and were healed;
Da dette var sket, kom ogsaa de andre paa Øen, som havde Sygdomme, til ham og bleve helbredede.
10 who also honored us with many honors, and we setting sail—they were loading [us] with the things that were necessary.
De viste os ogsaa megen Ære, og da vi sejlede bort, bragte de om Bord i Skibet, hvad vi trængte til.
11 And after three months, we set sail in a ship (that had wintered in the island) of Alexandria, with the sign Dioscuri,
Men efter tre Maaneders Forløb sejlede vi da bort i et aleksandrinsk Skib, som havde haft Vinterleje ved Øen og førte Tvillingernes Mærke.
12 and having landed at Syracuse, we remained three days,
Og vi løb ind til Syrakus, hvor vi bleve tre Dage.
13 there having gone around, we came to Rhegium, and after one day, a south wind having sprung up, the second [day] we came to Puteoli,
Derfra sejlede vi videre og kom til Regium, og efter en Dags Forløb fik vi Søndenvind og kom den næste Dag til Puteoli.
14 where, having found brothers, we were called on to remain with them seven days, and thus we came to Rome;
Der fandt vi Brødre og bleve opfordrede til at blive hos dem i syv Dage. Og saa droge vi til Rom.
15 and there, the brothers having heard the things concerning us, came forth to meet us, as far as [the] Forum of Appius, and Three Taverns—whom Paul having seen, having given thanks to God, took courage.
Og Brødrene derfra, som havde hørt om os, kom os i Møde til Appius's Forum og Tres-Tabernæ. Og da Paulus saa dem, takkede han Gud og fattede Mod.
16 And when we came to Rome, the centurion delivered up the prisoners to the captain of the barracks, but Paul was permitted to remain by himself, with the soldier guarding him.
Men da vi kom til Rom, [overgav Høvedsmanden Fangerne til Høvdingen for Livvagten. Dog] blev det tilstedt Paulus at bo for sig selv sammen med den Stridsmand, der bevogtede ham.
17 And it came to pass after three days, Paul called together those who are the principal men of the Jews, and they having come together, he said to them: “Men, brothers, I—having done nothing contrary to the people, or to the customs of the fathers—a prisoner from Jerusalem, was delivered up into the hands of the Romans;
Men efter tre Dages Forløb skete det, at han sammenkaldte de fornemste iblandt Jøderne. Men da de vare forsamlede, sagde han til dem: „I Mænd, Brødre! uagtet jeg intet har gjort imod vort Folk eller de fædrene Skikke, er jeg fra Jerusalem overgiven som Fange i Romernes Hænder,
18 who having examined me, were willing to release [me], because of their being no cause of death in me,
og disse vilde efter at have forhørt mig løslade mig, efterdi der ikke var nogen Dødsskyld hos mig.
19 and the Jews having spoken against [it], I was constrained to appeal to Caesar—not as having anything to accuse my nation of;
Men da Jøderne gjorde Indsigelse, nødtes jeg til at skyde mig ind under Kejseren, dog ikke, som om jeg havde noget at anklage mit Folk for.
20 for this cause, therefore, I called for you to see and to speak with [you], for because of the hope of Israel I am bound with this chain.”
Af denne Aarsag har jeg altsaa ladet eder kalde hid for at se og tale med eder; thi for Israels Haabs Skyld er jeg sluttet i denne Lænke.‟
21 And they said to him, “We neither received letters concerning you from Judea, nor did anyone who came of the brothers declare or speak any evil concerning you,
Men de sagde til ham: „Hverken have vi faaet Brev fra Judæa om dig, ikke heller er nogen af Brødrene kommen og har meddelt eller sagt noget ondt om dig.
22 and we think it good from you to hear what you think, for indeed, concerning this sect it is known to us that it is spoken against everywhere”;
Men vi ønske at høre af dig, hvad du tænker; thi om dette Parti er det os bekendt, at det alle Vegne finder Modsigelse.‟
23 and having appointed him a day, more of them came to him, to the lodging, to whom he was setting [it] forth, testifying fully the Kingdom of God, persuading them also of the things concerning Jesus, both from the Law of Moses, and the Prophets, from morning until evening,
Efter saa at have aftalt en Dag med ham, kom de til ham i Herberget i større Tal, og for dem forklarede han og vidnede om Guds Rige og søgte at overbevise dem om Jesus, baade ud af Mose Lov og af Profeterne, fra aarle om Morgenen indtil Aften.
24 and some, indeed, were believing the things spoken, and some were not believing.
Og nogle lode sig overbevise af det, som blev sagt, men andre troede ikke.
25 And not being agreed with one another, they were going away, Paul having spoken one word, “The Holy Spirit spoke well through Isaiah the prophet to our fathers,
Og under indbyrdes Uenighed gik de bort, da Paulus havde sagt dette ene Ord: „Rettelig har den Helligaand talt ved Profeten Esajas til eders Fædre og sagt:
26 saying, Go on to this people and say, With hearing you will hear, and you will not understand, and seeing you will see, and you will not perceive,
„Gaa hen til dette Folk og sig: I skulle høre med eders Øren og ikke forstaa og se med eders Øjne og ikke se;
27 for the heart of this people was made obtuse, and with the ears they barely heard, and they closed their eyes, lest they may see with the eyes, and may understand with the heart, and should turn, and I may heal them.
thi dette Folks Hjerte er blevet sløvet, og med Ørene høre de tungt, og deres Øjne have de tillukket, for at de ikke skulle se med Øjnene og høre med Ørene og forstaa med Hjertet og omvende sig, saa jeg kunde helbrede dem.‟
28 Be it known, therefore, to you, that the salvation of God was sent to the nations, these also will hear it”;
Derfor være det eder vitterligt, at denne Guds Frelse er sendt til Hedningerne; de skulle ogsaa høre.‟
29 [[and he having said these things, the Jews went away, having much debate among themselves; ]]
[Og da han havde sagt dette, gik Jøderne bort, og der var stor Trætte imellem dem indbyrdes.]
30 and Paul remained an entire two years in his own hired [house], and was receiving all those coming in to him,
Men han blev hele to Aar i sit lejede Herberge og modtog alle, som kom til ham,
31 preaching the Kingdom of God, and teaching the things concerning the Lord Jesus Christ with all boldness—unforbidden.
idet han prædikede Guds Rige og lærte om den Herre Jesus med al Frimodighed, uhindret.
