Acts 5
1 And a certain man, Ananias by name, with his wife Sapphira, sold a possession,
Men en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, tillige med Safira, hans Hustru, solgte en Ejendom
2 and kept back of the price—his wife also knowing—and having brought a certain part, he laid [it] at the feet of the apostles.
og stak med sin Hustrus Vidende noget af Værdien til Side og bragte en Del deraf og lagde den for Apostlenes Fødder.
3 And Peter said, “Ananias, why did Satan fill your heart, for you to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back of the price of the place?
Men Peter sagde: „Ananias! hvorfor har Satan fyldt dit Hjerte, saa du har løjet imod den Helligaand og stukket noget til Side af Summen for Jordstykket?
4 While it remained, did it not remain yours? And having been sold, was it not in your authority? Why [is] it that you put this thing in your heart? You did not lie to men, but to God”;
Var det ikke dit, saa længe du ejede det, og stod ikke det, som det blev solgt for, til din Raadighed? Hvorfor har du dog sat dig denne Gerning for i dit Hjerte? Du har ikke løjet for Mennesker, men for Gud.‟
5 and Ananias hearing these words, having fallen down, expired, and great fear came on all who heard these things,
Men da Ananias hørte disse Ord, faldt han om og udaandede. Og der kom stor Frygt over alle, som hørte det.
6 and having risen, the younger men wound him up, and having carried forth, they buried [him].
Men de unge Mænd stode op og lagde ham til Rette og bare ham ud og begravede ham.
7 And it came to pass, about three hours after, that his wife, not knowing what has happened, came in,
Men det skete omtrent tre Timer derefter, da kom hans Hustru ind uden at vide, hvad der var sket.
8 and Peter answered her, “Tell me if for so much you sold the place”; and she said, “Yes, for so much.”
Da sagde Peter til hende: „Sig mig, om I solgte Jordstykket til den Pris?‟ Og hun sagde: „Ja, til den Pris.‟
9 And Peter said to her, “How was it agreed by you to tempt the Spirit of the LORD? Behold, the feet of those who buried your husband [are] at the door, and they will carry you forth”;
Men Peter sagde til hende: „Hvorfor ere I dog blevne enige om at friste Herrens Aand? Se, deres Fødder, som have begravet din Mand, ere for Døren, og de skulle bære dig ud.‟
10 and immediately she fell down at his feet, and expired, and the young men having come in, found her dead, and having carried forth, they buried [her] by her husband;
Men hun faldt straks om for hans Fødder og udaandede. Men da de unge Mænd kom ind, fandt de hende død, og de bare hende ud og begravede hende hos hendes Mand.
11 and great fear came on all the Assembly, and on all who heard these things.
Og stor Frygt kom over hele Menigheden og over alle, som hørte dette.
12 And through the hands of the apostles came many signs and wonders among the people, and they were all with one accord in the porch of Solomon;
Men ved Apostlenes Hænder skete der mange Tegn og Undere iblandt Folket; og de vare alle endrægtigt sammen i Salomons Søjlegang.
13 and of the rest no one was daring to join himself to them, but the people were magnifying them,
Men af de andre turde ingen holde sig til dem; dog priste Folket dem højt,
14 (and the more were believers added to the LORD, multitudes of both men and women),
og der føjedes stedse flere troende til Herren, Skarer baade af Mænd og Kvinder,
15 so as to bring forth the ailing into the broad places, and to lay [them] on beds and pallets, that at the coming of Peter, even [his] shadow might overshadow someone of them;
saa at de endogsaa bare de syge ud paa Gaderne og lagde dem paa Senge og Løjbænke, for at naar Peter kom, endog blot hans Skygge kunde overskygge nogen af dem.
16 and there were also coming together the people of the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, carrying ailing persons, and those harassed by unclean spirits—who were all healed.
Ja, selv fra Byerne i Jerusalems Omegn strømmede Mængden sammen og bragte syge og saadanne, som vare plagede af urene Aander, og de bleve alle helbredede.
17 And having risen, the chief priest, and all those with him—being the sect of the Sadducees—were filled with zeal,
Men Ypperstepræsten stod op samt alle de, som holdt med ham, nemlig Saddukæernes Parti, og de bleve fulde af Nidkærhed.
18 and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in a public prison;
Og de lagde Haand paa Apostlene og satte dem i offentlig Forvaring.
19 but through the night a messenger of the LORD opened the doors of the prison, having also brought them forth, he said,
Men en Herrens Engel aabnede Fængselets Døre om Natten og førte dem ud og sagde:
20 “Go on, and standing, speak in the temple to the people all the sayings of this life”;
„Gaar hen og træder frem og taler i Helligdommen alle disse Livets Ord for Folket!‟
21 and having heard, they entered into the temple at the dawn, and were teaching. And the chief priest having come, and those with him, they called together the Sanhedrin and all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and they sent to the prison to have them brought,
Men da de havde hørt dette, gik de ved Daggry ind i Helligdommen og lærte. Men Ypperstepræsten og de, som holdt med ham, kom og sammenkaldte Raadet og alle Israels Børns Ældste og sendte Bud til Fængselet, at de skulde føres frem.
22 and the officers having come, did not find them in the prison, and having turned back, they told,
Men da Tjenerne kom derhen, fandt de dem ikke i Fængselet; og de kom tilbage og meldte det og sagde:
23 saying, “We indeed found the prison shut in all safety, and the keepers standing outside before the doors, and having opened—we found no one within.”
„Fængselet fandt vi tillukket helt forsvarligt, og Vogterne staaende ved Dørene; men da vi lukkede op, fandt vi ingen derinde.‟
24 And as the priest, and the magistrate of the temple, and the chief priests, heard these words, they were doubting concerning them to what this would come;
Men da Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Ypperstepræsterne hørte disse Ord, bleve de tvivlraadige om dem, hvad dette skulde blive til.
25 and coming near, a certain one told them, saying, “Behold, the men whom you put in the prison are in the temple standing and teaching the people”;
Men der kom en og meldte dem: „Se, de Mænd, som I satte i Fængselet, staa i Helligdommen og lære Folket.‟
26 then the magistrate having gone away with officers, brought them without violence, for they were fearing the people, lest they should be stoned;
Da gik Høvedsmanden hen med Tjenerne og hentede dem, dog ikke med Magt; thi de frygtede for Folket, at de skulde blive stenede.
27 and having brought them, they set [them] in the Sanhedrin, and the chief priest questioned them,
Men da de havde hentet dem, stillede de dem for Raadet; og Ypperstepræsten spurgte dem og sagde:
28 saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this Name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and you intend to bring on us the blood of this Man.”
„Vi bøde eder alvorligt, at I ikke maatte lære i dette Navn, og se, I have fyldt Jerusalem med eders Lære, og I ville bringe dette Menneskes Blod over os!‟
29 And Peter and the apostles answering, said, “It is required to obey God, rather than men;
Men Peter og Apostlene svarede og sagde: „Man bør adlyde Gud mere end Mennesker.
30 and the God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom you slew, having hanged on a tree;
Vore Fædres Gud oprejste Jesus, hvem I hængte paa et Træ og sloge ihjel.
31 this One, God, a Prince and a Savior, has exalted with His right hand, to give conversion to Israel, and forgiveness of sins;
Ham har Gud ved sin højre Haand ophøjet til en Fyrste og Frelser for at give Israel Omvendelse og Syndernes Forladelse.
32 and we are His witnesses of these sayings, and the Holy Spirit also, whom God gave to those obeying Him.”
Og vi ere hans Vidner om disse Ting, ligesom ogsaa den Helligaand, som Gud har givet dem, der adlyde ham.‟
33 And they having heard, were cut [to the heart], and were intending to slay them,
Men da de hørte dette, skar det dem i Hjertet, og de raadsloge om at slaa dem ihjel.
34 but a certain one, having risen up in the Sanhedrin—a Pharisee, by name Gamaliel, a teacher of law honored by all the people—commanded to put the apostles forth a little,
Men der rejste sig i Raadet en Farisæer ved Navn Gamaliel, en Lovlærer, højt agtet af hele Folket, og han bød, at de skulde lade Mændene træde lidt udenfor.
35 and said to them, “Men, Israelites, take heed to yourselves about these men, what you are about to do,
Og han sagde til dem: „I israelitiske Mænd! ser eder vel for, hvad I gøre med disse Mennesker.
36 for before these days Theudas rose up, saying that he was someone, to whom a number of men joined themselves, as it were four hundred, who was slain, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered, and came to nothing.
Thi for nogen Tid siden fremstod Theudas, som udgav sig selv for at være noget, og et Antal af omtrent fire Hundrede Mænd sluttede sig til ham; han blev slaaet ihjel, og alle de, som adløde ham, adsplittedes og bleve til intet.
37 After this one, Judas the Galilean rose up, in the days of the census, and drew away people after him, and that one perished, and all, as many as were obeying him, were scattered;
Efter ham fremstod Judas Galilæeren i Skatteindskrivningens Dage og fik en Flok Mennesker til at følge sig. Ogsaa han omkom, og alle de, som adløde ham, bleve adspredte.
38 and now I say to you, refrain from these men, and leave them alone, because if this counsel or this work may be of men, it will be overthrown,
Og nu siger jeg eder: Holder eder fra disse Mennesker, og lader dem fare; thi dersom dette Raad eller dette Værk er af Mennesker, bliver det til intet;
39 and if it be of God, you are not able to overthrow it, lest perhaps you are also found fighting against God.”
men er det af Gud, kunne I ikke gøre dem til intet. Lader eder dog ikke findes som de, der endog ville stride imod Gud!‟
40 And to him they agreed, and having called near the apostles, having beaten [them], they commanded [them] not to speak in the Name of Jesus, and let them go;
Og de adløde ham; og de kaldte Apostlene frem og lode dem piske og forbøde dem at tale i Jesu Navn og løslode dem.
41 they, indeed, then, departed from the presence of the Sanhedrin, rejoicing that for His Name they were counted worthy to suffer dishonor,
Saa gik de da glade bort fra Raadets Aasyn, fordi de vare blevne agtede værdige til at vanæres for hans Navns Skyld.
42 also every day in the temple, and in every house, they were not ceasing teaching and proclaiming good news—Jesus the Christ.
Og de holdt ikke op med hver Dag at lære i Helligdommen og i Husene og at forkynde Evangeliet om Kristus Jesus.
