Acts 9
1 But Shaul, still breathing threats and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,
Men Saulus, som endnu fnøs med Trusel og Mord imod Herrens Disciple, gik til Ypperstepræsten
2 and asked for letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Urishlim.
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 As he traveled, it happened that he got close to Damascus, and suddenly a light from the sky shone around him.
Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstraalede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.
4 And he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, "Shaul, Shaul, 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 he said, "I am Yeshua, whom you are persecuting.
Og han sagde: „Hvem er du, Herre?” Men han svarede: „Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.
6 But rise up, and enter into the city, and you will be told what you must do."
Men staa op og gaa ind i Byen, og det skal siges dig, hvad du bør gøre.”
7 The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the sound, but seeing no one.
Men de Mænd, som rejste med ham, stode maalløse, da de vel hørte Røsten, men ikke saa nogen.
8 Shaul arose from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could not see anything. They led him by the hand, and brought him into Damascus.
Og Saulus rejste sig op fra Jorden; men da han oplod sine Øjne, saa han intet. Men de ledte ham ved Haanden og førte ham ind i Damaskus.
9 He was without sight for three days, and neither ate nor drank.
Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.
10 Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Khananya. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Khananya." And he said, "Look, it's 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 The Lord said to him, "Arise, and go to the street which is called Straight, and inquire in the house of Yehudah for one named Shaul, a man of Tarsus. For look, he is praying,
Og Herren sagde til ham: „Staa op, gaa 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 in a vision he has seen a man named Khananya coming in, and laying his hands on him, that he might receive his sight."
Og han har i et Syn set en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, komme ind og lægge Hænderne paa ham, for at han skulde blive seende.”
13 But Khananya answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he did to your saints at Urishlim.
Men Ananias svarede: „Herre! jeg har hørt af mange om denne Mand, hvor meget ondt han har gjort dine hellige i Jerusalem.
14 Here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name."
Og her har han Fuldmagt fra Ypperstepræsterne til at binde alle dem, som paakalde dit Navn.”
15 But the Lord said to him, "Go your way, for he is my chosen vessel to bear my name before the nations and kings, and the people of Israyel.
Men Herren sagde til ham: „Gaa; thi denne er mig et udvalgt Redskab til at bære mit Navn frem baade for Hedninger og Konger og Israels Børn;
16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for my name's sake."
thi jeg vil vise ham, hvor meget han bør lide for mit Navns Skyld.”
17 Khananya departed, and entered into the house. Laying his hands on him, he said, "Brother Shaul, the Lord, who appeared to you on the road by which you came, has sent me, that you may receive your sight, and be filled with the Rukha d'Qudsha."
Men Ananias gik hen og kom ind i Huset og lagde Hænderne paa ham og sagde: „Saul, Broder! Herren har sendt mig, den Jesus, der viste sig for dig paa Vejen, ad hvilken du kom, for at du skal blive seende igen og fyldes med den Helligaand.”
18 Immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he received his sight. He arose and was baptized.
Og straks faldt der ligesom Skæl fra hans Øjne, og han blev seende, og han stod op og blev døbt.
19 He took food and was strengthened. He stayed several days with the disciples who were at Damascus.
Og han fik Mad og kom til Kræfter. Men han blev nogle Dage hos Disciplene i Damaskus.
20 Immediately in the synagogues he proclaimed Yeshua, that he is the Son of God.
Og straks prædikede han i Synagogerne om Jesus, at han er Guds Søn.
21 All who heard him were amazed, and said, "Is not this he who in Urishlim made havoc of those who called on this name? And he had come here intending to bring them bound before the chief priests."
Men alle, som hørte det, forbavsedes og sagde: „Er det ikke ham, som i Jerusalem forfulgte dem, der paakaldte dette Navn, og var kommen hertil for at føre dem bundne til Ypperstepræsterne?”
22 But Shaul increased more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived at Damascus, proving that this is the Meshikha.
Men Saulus voksede i Kraft og gendrev Jøderne, som boede i Damaskus, idet han beviste, at denne er Kristus.
23 When many days were fulfilled, the Jews conspired together to kill him,
Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Raad om at slaa ham ihjel.
24 but their plot became known to Shaul. They watched the gates both day and night that they might kill him,
Men Saulus fik deres Efterstræbelser at vide. Og de bevogtede endog Portene baade Dag og Nat, for at de kunde slaa ham ihjel.
25 but his disciples took him by night, and let him down through the wall, lowering him 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 When Shaul had come to Urishlim, he tried to join himself to the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was 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 But Bar-Naba took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Yeshua.
Men Barnabas tog sig af ham og førte ham til Apostlene; og han fortalte dem, hvorledes han havde set Herren paa Vejen, og at han havde talt til ham, og hvorledes han i Damaskus havde vidnet frimodigt i Jesu Navn.
28 He was with them coming in and going out in Urishlim, speaking boldly in the name of the Lord.
Og han gik ind og gik ud med dem i Jerusalem
29 He spoke and disputed against the Hellenists, but they were seeking to kill him.
og vidnede frimodigt i Herrens Navn. Og han talte og tvistedes med Hellenisterne; men de toge sig for at slaa ham ihjel.
30 When the brothers knew it, they brought him down to Qesarya, and sent him off to Tarsus.
Men da Brødrene fik dette at vide, førte de ham ned til Kæsarea og sendte ham videre til Tarsus.
31 So the church throughout all Yehuda and Galila and Samaria had peace, and were built up. They were multiplied, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Rukha d'Qudsha.
Saa havde da Menigheden Fred over hele Judæa og Galilæa og Samaria, og den opbyggedes og vandrede i Herrens Frygt, og ved den Helligaands Formaning voksede den.
32 It happened, as Kipha went throughout all those parts, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lud.
Men det skete, medens Peter drog omkring alle Vegne, at han ogsaa kom ned til de hellige, som boede i Lydda.
33 There he found a certain man named Aniyas, who had been bedridden for eight years, because he was paralyzed.
Der fandt han en Mand ved Navn Æneas, som havde ligget otte Aar til Sengs og var værkbruden.
34 Kipha said to him, "Aniyas, Yeshua Meshikha heals you. Get up and make your bed." Immediately he arose.
Og Peter sagde til ham: „Æneas! Jesus Kristus helbreder dig; staa op, og red selv din Seng!” Og han stod straks op.
35 All who lived at Lud and in Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron saa ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.
36 Now there was at Yupi a certain disciple named Tabitha (which when translated, means Dorcas). This woman was full of good works and acts of mercy which she did.
Men i Joppe var der en Discipelinde ved Navn Tabitha, hvilket udlagt betyder Hind; hun var rig paa gode Gerninger og gav mange Almisser.
37 It happened in those days that she fell sick, and died. When they had washed her, they placed 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 ovenpaa.
38 As Lud was near Yupi, the disciples, hearing that Kipha was there, sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to us.
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 Kipha got up and went with them. When he had come, they brought him into the upper chamber. All the widows stood by him weeping, and showing the coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
Men Peter stod op og gik med dem. Og da han kom derhen, førte de ham op i Salen ovenpaa, 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 Kipha put them all out, and kneeled down and prayed. Turning to the body, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and when she saw Kipha, she sat up.
Men Peter bød dem alle at gaa ud, og han faldt paa Knæ og bad; og han vendte sig til det døde Legeme og sagde: „Tabitha, staa op!” Men hun oplod sine Øjne, og da hun saa Peter, satte hun sig op.
41 He gave her his hand, and raised her up. Calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.
Men han gav hende Haanden og rejste hende op, og han kaldte paa de hellige og Enkerne og fremstillede hende levende for dem.
42 And it became known throughout all Yupi, and many believed in the Lord.
Men det blev vitterligt over hele Joppe, og mange troede paa Herren.
43 It happened, that he stayed many days in Yupi with one Shimon, a tanner.
Og det skete, at han blev mange Dage i Joppe hos en vis Simon, en Garver.
