Acts 4
1 As they spoke to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple and the Sadducees came to them,
Men medens de talte til Folket, kom Præsterne og Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Saddukæerne over dem,
2 being upset because they taught the people and proclaimed in Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
da de harmedes over, at de lærte Folket og i Jesus forkyndte Opstandelsen fra de døde.
3 They laid hands on them, and put them in custody until the next day, for it was now evening.
Og de lagde Haand paa dem og satte dem i Forvaring til den følgende Dag; thi det var allerede Aften.
4 But many of those who heard the word believed, and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.
Men mange af dem, som havde hørt Ordet, troede, og Tallet paa Mændene blev omtrent fem Tusinde.
5 It happened in the morning, that their rulers, elders, and scribes were gathered together in Jerusalem.
Men det skete Dagen derefter, at deres Raadsherrer og Ældste og skriftkloge forsamlede sig i Jerusalem,
6 Annas the high priest was there, with Caiaphas, John, Alexander, and as many as were relatives of the high priest.
ligesaa Ypperstepræsten Annas og Kajfas og Johannes og Alexander og alle, som vare af ypperstepræstelig Slægt.
7 When they had stood them in the middle of them, they inquired, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"
Og de stillede dem midt iblandt sig og spurgte: „Af hvad Magt eller i hvilket Navn have I gjort dette?‟
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people, and elders,
Da sagde Peter, fyldt med den Helligaand, til dem: „I Folkets Raadsherrer og Ældste!
9 if we are examined today concerning a good deed done to a crippled man, by what means this man has been healed,
Naar vi i Dag forhøres angaaende en Velgerning imod en vanfør Mand, om hvorved han er bleven helbredet,
10 be it known to you all, and to all the children of Israel, that in the name of Jesus (the) Messiah the Nazorean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, in him does this man stand here before you whole.
da skal det være eder alle og hele Israels Folk vitterligt, at ved Jesu Kristi Nazaræerens Navn, hvem I have korsfæstet, hvem Gud har oprejst fra de døde, ved dette Navn er det, at denne staar rask her for eders Øjne.
11 This one is the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.
Han er den Sten, som blev agtet for intet af eder, I Bygningsmænd, men som er bleven til en Hovedhjørnesten.
12 And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among people by which we must be saved."
Og der er ikke Frelse i nogen anden; thi der er ikke noget andet Navn under Himmelen, givet iblandt Mennesker, ved hvilket vi skulle blive frelste.‟
13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they were amazed. They recognized that they had been with Jesus.
Men da de saa Peters og Johannes's Frimodighed og kunde mærke, at de vare ulærde Mænd og Lægfolk, forundrede de sig, og de kendte dem, at de havde været med Jesus.
14 Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.
Og da de saa Manden, som var helbredet, staa hos dem, havde de intet at sige derimod.
15 But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,
Men de bøde dem at træde ud fra Raadet og raadførte sig med hverandre og sagde:
16 saying, "What should we do with these men? Because indeed a notable miracle has been done through them, as can be plainly seen by all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.
„Hvad skulle vi gøre med disse Mennesker? thi at et vitterligt Tegn er sket ved dem, det er aabenbart for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, og vi kunne ikke nægte det.
17 But so this does not spread any further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they do not speak to anyone in this name."
Men for at det ikke skal komme videre ud iblandt Folket, da lader os true dem til ikke mere at tale til noget Menneske i dette Navn.‟
18 They called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
Og de kaldte dem ind og forbøde dem aldeles at tale eller lære i Jesu Navn.
19 But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, judge for yourselves,
Men Peter og Johannes svarede og sagde til dem: „Dømmer selv, om det er ret for Gud at lyde eder mere end Gud.
20 for we cannot help telling the things which we saw and heard."
Thi vi kunne ikke lade være at tale om det, som vi have set og hørt.‟
21 When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.
Men de truede dem end mere og løslode dem, da de ikke kunde udfinde, hvorledes de skulde straffe dem, for Folkets Skyld; thi alle priste Gud for det, som var sket.
22 For the man on whom this miracle of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
Thi den Mand, paa hvem dette Helbredelsestegn var sket, var mere end fyrretyve Aar gammel.
23 Being let go, they came to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and the elders had said to them.
Da de nu vare løsladte, kom de til deres egne og fortalte dem alt, hvad Ypperstepræsterne og de Ældste havde sagt til dem.
24 When they heard it, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, "Lord, you made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them.
Men da de hørte dette, opløftede de endrægtigt Røsten til Gud og sagde: „Herre, du, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alle Ting, som ere i dem,
25 You said through the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David your servant: 'Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?
du, som har sagt ved din Tjener Davids Mund: „Hvorfor fnyste Hedninger, og Folkeslag oplagde forfængelige Raad?
26 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take council together, against the Lord, and against his Messiah.'
Jordens Konger rejste sig, og Fyrsterne samlede sig til Hobe imod Herren og imod hans Salvede.‟
27 "For truly, in this city against your holy servant, Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the non-Jews and the people of Israel, were gathered together
Ja, de have i Sandhed forsamlet sig i denne Stad imod din hellige Tjener Jesus, hvem du har salvet, baade Herodes og Pontius Pilatus tillige med Hedningerne og Israels Folkestammer
28 to do whatever your hand and your council foreordained to happen.
for at gøre det, som din Haand og dit Raad forud havde bestemt skulde ske.
29 Now, Lord, look at their threats, and grant to your servants to speak your word with all boldness,
Og nu, Herre! se til deres Trusler, og giv dine Tjenere at tale dit Ord med al Frimodighed,
30 while you stretch out your hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus."
idet du udrækker din Haand til Helbredelse, og der sker Tegn og Undere ved din hellige Tjeners Jesu Navn.‟
31 When they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were gathered together. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Og da de havde bedet, rystedes Stedet, hvor de vare forsamlede; og de bleve alle fyldte med den Helligaand, og de talte Guds Ord med Frimodighed.
32 And the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul. Not one of them claimed that anything of the things which he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.
Men de troendes Mængde havde eet Hjerte og een Sjæl; og end ikke een kaldte noget af det, han ejede, sit eget; men de havde alle Ting fælles.
33 With great power, the apostles gave their testimony of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. Great grace was on them all.
Og med stor Kraft aflagde Apostlene Vidnesbyrdet om den Herres Jesu Opstandelse, og der var stor Naade over dem alle.
34 For neither was there among them any who lacked, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,
Thi der var end ikke nogen trængende iblandt dem; thi alle de, som vare Ejere af Jordstykker eller Huse, solgte dem og bragte Salgssummerne
35 and put them at the apostles' feet, and distribution was made to each, according as anyone had need.
og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder; men der blev uddelt til enhver, efter hvad han havde Trang til.
36 Joseph, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas (which is translated, Son of Encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus by birth,
Og Josef, som af Apostlene fik Tilnavnet Barnabas, (det er udlagt: Trøstens Søn), en Levit, født paa Kypern,
37 having a field, sold it, and brought the money and put it at the apostles' feet.
som ejede en Jordlod, solgte den og bragte Pengene og lagde dem for Apostlenes Fødder.
