Acts 9
1 And Saul, yet breathing of threatening and slaughter to the disciples of the LORD, having gone to the chief priest,
Men Saulus, som endnu fnøs med Trusel og Mord imod Herrens Disciple, gik til Ypperstepræsten
2 asked from him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, that if he may find any being of The Way, both men and women, he may bring them bound to Jerusalem.
og bad ham om Breve til Damaskus til Synagogerne, for at han, om han fandt nogle, Mænd eller Kvinder, som holdt sig til Vejen, kunde føre dem bundne til Jerusalem.
3 And in the going, he came near to Damascus, and suddenly there shone around him a light from Heaven,
Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstrålede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.
4 and having fallen on the earth, he heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute Me?”
Og han faldt til Jorden og hørte en Røst, som sagde til ham: "Saul! Saul! hvorfor forfølger du mig?"
5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And the LORD said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute; [[hard for you to kick at the goads”;
Og han sagde: "Hvem er du, Herre?" Men han svarede: "Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.
6 trembling also, and astonished, he said, “Lord, what do You wish me to do?” And the LORD [said] to him, ]] “Arise, and enter into the city, and it will be told [to] you what you must do.”
Men stå op og gå ind i Byen, og det skal siges dig, hvad du bør gøre."
7 And the men who are journeying with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice but seeing no one,
Men de Mænd, som rejste med ham, stode målløse, da de vel hørte Røsten, men ikke så nogen.
8 and Saul arose from the earth, and his eyes having been opened, he beheld no one, and leading him by the hand they brought him to Damascus,
Og Saulus rejste sig op fra Jorden; men da han oplod sine Øjne, så han intet. Men de ledte ham ved Hånden og førte ham ind i Damaskus.
9 and he was three days without seeing, and he neither ate nor drank.
Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.
10 And there was a certain disciple in Damascus, by name Ananias, and the LORD said to him in a vision, “Ananias”; and he said, “Behold me, Lord”;
Men der var en Discipel i Damaskus, ved Navn Ananias, og Herren sagde til ham i et Syn: "Ananias!" Og han sagde: "Se, her er jeg, Herre!"
11 and the LORD [says] to him, “Having risen, go on to the street that is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas, [one] by name Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he prays,
Og Herren sagde til ham: "Stå op, gå hen i den Gade, som kaldes den lige, og spørg i Judas's Hus efter en ved Navn Saulus fra Tarsus; thi se, han beder.
12 and he saw in a vision a man, by name Ananias, coming in, and putting a hand on him, that he may see again.”
Og han har i et Syn set en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, komme ind og lægge Hænderne på ham, for at han skulde blive seende."
13 And Ananias answered, “LORD, I have heard from many about this man, how many evils he did to Your holy ones in Jerusalem,
Men Ananias svarede: "Herre! jeg har hørt af mange om denne Mand, hvor meget ondt han har gjort dine hellige i Jerusalem.
14 and here he has authority from the chief priests, to bind all those calling on Your Name.”
Og her har han Fuldmagt fra Ypperstepræsterne til at binde alle dem, som påkalde dit Navn."
15 And the LORD said to him, “Go, because this one is a chosen vessel to Me, to carry My Name before nations and kings—also the sons of Israel;
Men Herren sagde til ham: "Gå; thi denne er mig et udvalgt Redskab til at bære mit Navn frem både for Hedninger og Konger og Israels Børn;
16 for I will show him how many things he must suffer for My Name.”
thi jeg vil, vise ham hvor meget han bør lide for mit Navns Skyld."
17 And Ananias went away, and entered into the house, and having put on him [his] hands, said, “Saul, brother, the LORD has sent me—Jesus who appeared to you in the way in which you were coming—that you may see again, and may be filled with the Holy Spirit.”
Men Ananias gik hen og kom ind i Huset og lagde Hænderne på ham og sagde: "Saul, Broder! Herren har sendt mig, den Jesus, der viste sig for dig på Vejen, ad hvilken du kom, for at du skal blive seende igen og fyldes med den Helligånd."
18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it were scales, he also saw again instantly, and having risen, was immersed,
Og straks faldt der ligesom Skæl fra hans Øjne, og han blev seende, og han stod op og blev døbt.
19 and having received nourishment, was strengthened, and Saul was with the disciples in Damascus certain days,
Og han fik Mad og kom til Kræfter. Men han blev nogle Dage hos Disciplene i Damaskus.
20 and immediately he was preaching the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Og straks prædikede han i Synagogerne om Jesus, at han er Guds Søn.
21 And all those hearing were amazed and said, “Is this not he who laid waste in Jerusalem those calling on this Name, and here to this intent had come, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
Men alle, som hørte det, forbavsedes og sagde: "Er det ikke ham, som i Jerusalem forfulgte dem, der påkaldte dette Navn, og var kommen hertil for at føre dem bundne til Ypperstepræsterne?"
22 And Saul was still more strengthened, and he was confounding the Jews dwelling in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
Men Saulus voksede i Kraft og gendrev Jøderne, som boede i Damaskus, idet han beviste, at denne er Kristus.
23 And when many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel together to kill him,
Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Råd om at slå ham ihjel.
24 and their counsel against [him] was known to Saul; they were also watching the gates both day and night, that they may kill him,
Men Saulus fik deres Efterstræbelser at vide. Og de bevogtede endog Portene både Dag og Nat, for at de kunde slå ham ihjel.
25 and the disciples having taken him, by night let him down by the wall, letting down in a basket.
Men hans Disciple toge ham ved Nattetid og bragte ham ud igennem Muren, idet de firede ham ned i en Kurv.
26 And Saul, having come to Jerusalem, tried to join himself to the disciples, and they were all afraid of him, not believing that he is a disciple,
Men da han kom til Jerusalem, forsøgte han at holde sig til Disciplene; men de frygtede alle for ham, da de ikke troede, at han var en Discipel.
27 and Barnabas having taken him, brought [him] to the apostles, and declared to them how he saw the LORD in the way, and that He spoke to him, and how in Damascus he was speaking boldly in the Name of Jesus.
Men Barnabas tog sig af ham og førte ham til Apostlene; og han fortalte dem, hvorledes han havde set Herren på Vejen, og at han havde talt til ham, og hvorledes han i Damaskus havde vidnet frimodigt i Jesu Navn.
28 And he was with them, coming in and going out in Jerusalem,
Og han gik ind og gik ud med dem i Jerusalem
29 and speaking boldly in the Name of the Lord Jesus; he was both speaking and disputing with the Hellenists, and they were taking in hand to kill him,
og vidnede frimodigt i Herrens Navn. Og han talte og tvistedes med Hellenisterne; men de toge sig for at slå ham ihjel.
30 and the brothers having known, brought him down to Caesarea, and sent him forth to Tarsus.
Men da Brødrene fik dette at vide, førte de ham ned til Kæsarea og sendte ham videre til Tarsus.
31 Then, indeed, the assemblies throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, had peace, being built up, and going on in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, they were multiplied.
Så havde da Menigheden Fred over hele Judæa og Galilæa og Samaria, og den opbyggedes og vandrede i Herrens Frygt, og ved den Helligånds Formaning voksede den.
32 And it came to pass that Peter, passing throughout all [quarters], also came down to the holy ones who were dwelling at Lydda,
Men det skete, medens Peter drog omkring alle Vegne, at han også kom ned til de hellige, som boede i Lydda.
33 and he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name—for eight years laid on a pallet—who was paralytic,
Der fandt han en Mand ved Navn Æneas, som havde ligget otte År til Sengs og var værkbruden.
34 and Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you; arise and spread for yourself”; and immediately he rose,
Og Peter sagde til ham: "Æneas! Jesus Kristus helbreder dig; stå op, og red selv din Seng!" Og han stod straks op.
35 and all those dwelling at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the LORD.
Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron så ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.
36 And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha (which interpreted, is called Dorcas); this woman was full of good works and kind acts that she was doing;
Men i Joppe var der en Discipelinde ved Navn Tabitha, hvilket udlagt betyder Hind; hun var rig på gode Gerninger og gav mange Almisser.
37 and it came to pass in those days she, having ailed, died, and having bathed her, they laid her in an upper chamber,
Men det skete i de Dage, at hun blev syg og døde. Da toede de hende og lagde hende i Salen ovenpå.
38 and Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter is in that [place], sent two men to him, calling on him not to delay to come through to them.
Men efterdi Lydda var nær ved Joppe, udsendte Disciplene, da de hørte, at Peter var der, to Mænd til ham og bade ham: "Kom uden Tøven over til os!"
39 And Peter having risen, went with them, whom having come, they brought into the upper chamber, and all the widows stood by him weeping, and showing coats and garments, as many as Dorcas was making while she was with them.
Men Peter stod op og gik med dem. Og da han kom derhen, førte de ham op i Salen ovenpå, og alle Enkerne stode hos ham, græd og viste ham alle de Kjortler og Kapper, som "Hinden" havde forarbejdet, medens hun var hos dem.
40 And Peter having put them all forth outside, having bowed the knees, prayed, and having turned to the body, said, “Tabitha, arise”; and she opened her eyes, and having seen Peter, she sat up,
Men Peter bød dem alle at gå ud, og han faldt på Knæ og bad; og han vendte sig til det døde Legeme og sagde: "Tabitha, stå op!" Men hun oplod sine Øjne, og da hun så Peter, satte hun sig op.
41 and having given her [his] hand, he lifted her up, and having called the holy ones and the widows, he presented her alive,
Men han gav hende Hånden og rejste hende op, og han kaldte på de hellige og Enkerne og fremstillede hende levende for dem.
42 and it became known throughout all Joppa, and many believed on the LORD;
Men det blev vitterligt over hele Joppe, og mange troede på Herren.
43 and it came to pass, that he remained many days in Joppa, with a certain one, Simon a tanner.
Og det skete, at han blev mange Dage i Joppe hos en vis Simon, en Garver.
