Acts 7
1 The cohen hagadol said, "Are these things so?"
Men Ypperstepræsten sagde: „Forholder dette sig saaledes?‟
2 He said, "Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,
Men han sagde: „I Mænd, Brødre og Fædre, hører til! Herlighedens Gud viste sig for vor Fader Abraham, da han var i Mesopotamien, førend han tog Bolig i Karan.
3 and said to him, 'Go out from your land and from your relatives, and come into a land which I will show you.'
Og han sagde til ham: „Gaa ud af dit Land og fra din Slægt, og kom til det Land, som jeg vil vise dig.‟
4 Then he came out of the land of the Kasdim, and lived in Haran. From there, after his father died, he moved him into this land, where you are now living.
Da gik han ud fra Kaldæernes Land og tog Bolig i Karan; og efter hans Faders Død lod Gud ham flytte derfra hen i dette Land, hvor I nu bo.
5 He gave him no inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on. He promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his descendants after him, when he still had no child.
Og han gav ham ikke Ejendom deri, end ikke en Fodsbred; dog forjættede han ham at give ham det til Eje og hans Sæd efter ham, endskønt han intet Barn havde.
6 But God spoke in this way, 'His descendants will live as strangers in a foreign land, and that they will be slaves and mistreated, for four hundred years.
Men Gud talte saaledes: „Hans Sæd skal være Udlændinge i et fremmed Land, og man skal gøre dem til Trælle og handle ilde med dem i fire Hundrede Aar.
7 But I will judge the nation to which they will be in bondage,' said God, 'and after that will they come out, and serve me in this place.'
Og det Folk, for hvilket de skulle trælle, vil jeg dømme, sagde Gud; og derefter skulle de drage ud og tjene mig paa dette Sted.‟
8 He gave him the covenant of circumcision. So Abraham became the father of Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day. Isaac became the father of Jacob, and Jacob became the father of the twelve patriarchs.
Og han gav ham Omskærelsens Pagt. Og saa avlede han Isak og omskar ham den ottende Dag, og Isak avlede Jakob, og Jakob de tolv Patriarker.
9 "The patriarchs, moved with jealousy against Joseph, sold him into Egypt; and God was with him,
Og Patriarkerne bare Avind imod Josef og solgte ham til Ægypten; og Gud var med ham,
10 and delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. He made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
og han udfriede ham af alle hans Trængsler og gav ham Naade og Visdom for Farao, Kongen i Ægypten, som satte ham til Øverste over Ægypten og over hele sit Hus.
11 Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction, and our fathers found no food.
Men der kom Hungersnød over hele Ægypten og Kanaan og en stor Trængsel, og vore Fædre fandt ikke Føde.
12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent out our fathers the first time.
Men da Jakob hørte, at der var Korn i Ægypten, sendte han vore Fædre ud første Gang.
13 On the second time Joseph was made known to his brothers, and Joseph's family became known to Pharaoh.
Og anden Gang blev Josef genkendt af sine Brødre, og Josefs Herkomst blev aabenbar for Farao.
14 Then Joseph sent, and summoned Jacob, his father, and all his relatives, seventy-five souls.
Men Josef sendte Bud og lod sin Fader Jakob og al sin Slægt kalde til sig, fem og halvfjerdsindstyve Sjæle.
15 Jacob went down into Egypt, and he died, himself and our fathers,
Og Jakob drog ned til Ægypten. Og han og vore Fædre døde,
16 and they were brought back to Shechem, and placed in the tomb that Abraham bought for a price in silver from the children of Hamor in Shechem.
og de bleve flyttede til Sikem og lagte i den Grav, som Abraham havde købt for en Sum Penge af Hemors Sønner i Sikem.
17 "But as the time of the promise came close which God had made to Abraham, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt,
Som nu Tiden nærmede sig for den Forjættelse, Gud havde tilsagt Abraham, voksede Folket og formeredes i Ægypten,
18 until 'there arose a different king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.'
indtil der fremstod en anden Konge, som ikke kendte Josef.
19 The same took advantage of our race, and mistreated our fathers, and forced them to throw out their babies, so that they would not stay alive.
Han viste Træskhed imod vor Slægt og handlede ilde med vore Fædre, saa de maatte sætte deres smaa Børn ud, for at de ikke skulde holdes i Live.
20 At that time Moses was born, and was exceedingly handsome. He was nourished three months in his father's house.
Paa den Tid blev Moses født, og han var dejlig for Gud; han blev opfostret i tre Maaneder i sin Faders Hus.
21 When he was thrown out, Pharaoh's daughter took him up, and reared him as her own son.
Men da han var sat ud, tog Faraos Datter ham op og opfostrede ham til sin Søn.
22 Moses was instructed in all the wisdom of the Egyptians. He was mighty in his words and works.
Og Moses blev oplært i al Ægypternes Visdom; og han var mægtig i sine Ord og Gerninger.
23 But when he was forty years old, it came into his heart to visit his brothers, the children of Israel.
Men da han blev fyrretyve Aar gammel, fik han i Sinde at besøge sine Brødre, Israels Børn.
24 Seeing one of them suffer wrong, he defended him, and avenged him who was oppressed, striking the Egyptian.
Og da han saa en lide Uret, forsvarede han ham og hævnede den mishandlede, idet han slog Ægypteren ihjel.
25 He supposed that his brothers understood that God, by his hand, was giving them deliverance; but they did not understand.
Men han mente, at hans Brødre forstode, at Gud gav dem Frelse ved hans Haand; men de forstode det ikke.
26 "The day following, he appeared to them as they fought, and urged them to be at peace again, saying, 'Men, you are brothers. Why do you wrong one another?'
Og den næste Dag viste han sig iblandt dem under en Strid og vilde forlige dem til at holde Fred, sigende: „I Mænd! I ere Brødre, hvorfor gøre I hinanden Uret?‟
27 But he who did his neighbor wrong pushed him away, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge over us?
Men den, som gjorde sin Næste Uret, stødte ham fra sig og sagde: „Hvem har sat dig til Hersker og Dommer over os?
28 Do you want to kill me, as you killed the Egyptian yesterday?'
Vil du slaa mig ihjel, ligesom du i Gaar slog Ægypteren ihjel?‟
29 Moses fled at this saying, and became a stranger in the land of Midian, where he became the father of two sons.
Da flygtede Moses for denne Tales Skyld og boede som fremmed i Midians Land, hvor han avlede to Sønner.
30 "When forty years were fulfilled, an angel appeared to him in the wilderness of Mount Sinai, in a flame of fire in a bush.
Og efter fyrretyve Aars Forløb viste en Engel sig for ham i Sinai Bjergs Ørken i en Tornebusk, der stod i lys Lue.
31 When Moses saw it, he wondered at the sight. As he came close to see, a voice of the Lord came,
Men da Moses saa det, undrede han sig over Synet, og da han gik hen for at betragte det, lød Herrens Røst til ham:
32 'I am the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob.' Moses trembled, and dared not look.
„Jeg er dine Fædres Gud, Abrahams og Isaks og Jakobs Gud.‟ Da bævede Moses og turde ikke se derhen.
33 The Lord said to him, 'Take your sandals off of your feet, for the place where you stand is holy ground.
Men Herren sagde til ham: „Løs Skoene af dine Fødder; thi det Sted, som du staar paa, er hellig Jord.
34 I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send you to Egypt.'
Jeg har grant set mit Folks Mishandling i Ægypten og hørt deres Suk, og jeg er stegen ned for at udfri dem; og nu kom, lad mig sende dig til Ægypten!‟
35 "This Moses, whom they refused, saying, 'Who made you a ruler and a judge?'—God has sent him as both a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the angel who appeared to him in the bush.
Denne Moses, hvem de fornægtede, idet de sagde: „Hvem har sat dig til Hersker og Dommer, ‟ ham har Gud sendt til at være baade Hersker og Befrier ved den Engels Haand, som viste sig for ham i Tornebusken.
36 This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.
Ham var det, som førte dem ud, idet han gjorde Undere og Tegn i Ægyptens Land og i det røde Hav og i Ørkenen i fyrretyve Aar.
37 This is that Moses, who said to the children of Israel, 'God will raise up a prophet for you from among your brothers, like me.'
Han er den Moses, som sagde til Israels Børn: „En Profet skal Gud oprejse eder af eders Brødre ligesom mig.‟
38 This is he who was in the assembly in the wilderness with the angel that spoke to him on Mount Sinai, and with our fathers, who received words of life to give to us,
Han er den, som i Menigheden i Ørkenen færdedes med Engelen, der talte til ham paa Sinai Bjerg, og med vore Fædre; den, som modtog levende Ord at give os;
39 to whom our fathers would not be obedient, but rejected him, and turned back in their hearts to Egypt,
hvem vore Fædre ikke vilde adlyde, men de stødte ham fra sig og vendte sig med deres Hjerter til Ægypten, idet de sagde til Aron:
40 saying to Aaron, 'Make us gods that will go before us, for as for this Moses, who led us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'
„Gør os Guder, som kunne gaa foran os; thi vi vide ikke, hvad der er sket med denne Moses, som førte os ud af Ægyptens Land.‟
41 They made a calf in those days, and brought a sacrifice to the idol, and rejoiced in the works of their hands.
Og de gjorde en Kalv i de Dage og bragte Offer til Gudebilledet og frydede sig ved deres Hænders Gerninger.
42 But God turned, and gave them over to worship the host of heaven, as it is written in the book of the prophets, 'Did you offer to me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
Men Gud vendte sig fra dem og gav dem hen til at tjene Himmelens Hær, som der er skrevet i Profeternes Bog: „Have I vel, Israels Hus! bragt mig Slagtofre og andre Ofre i fyrretyve Aar i Ørkenen?
43 You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and the star of your god Rephan, the images that you made to worship them. Therefore I will exile you beyond Babylon.'
Og I bare Moloks Telt og Guden Remfans Stjerne, de Billeder, som I havde gjort for at tilbede dem; og jeg vil flytte eder bort hinsides Babylon.‟
44 "Our fathers had the tabernacle of the testimony in the wilderness, even as he who spoke to Moses commanded him to make it according to the pattern that he had seen;
Vore Fædre i Ørkenen havde Vidnesbyrdets Tabernakel, saaledes som han, der talte til Moses, havde befalet at gøre det efter det Forbillede, som han havde set.
45 which also our fathers, in their turn, brought in with Joshua when they entered into the possession of the nations, whom God drove out before the face of our fathers, to the days of David,
Dette toge ogsaa vore Fædre i Arv og bragte det under Josva ind i Landet, som Hedningerne besade, hvilke Gud fordrev fra vore Fædres Aasyn — indtil Davids Dage,
46 who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob.
som fandt Naade for Gud og bad om at maatte finde en Bolig for Jakobs Gud.
47 But Solomon built him a house.
Men Salomon byggede ham et Hus.
48 However, the Most High does not dwell in temples made with hands, as the prophet says,
Dog, den Højeste bor ikke i Huse gjorte med Hænder, som Profeten siger:
49 'Heaven is my throne, and the earth a footstool for my feet. What kind of house will you build me?' says the Lord; 'or what is the place of my rest?
„Himmelen er min Trone, og Jorden mine Fødders Skammel, hvad Hus ville I bygge mig? siger Herren, eller hvilket er min Hviles Sted?
50 Did not my hand make all these things?'
Har ikke min Haand gjort alt dette?‟
51 "You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Ruach ha-Kodesh. As your fathers did, so you do.
I haarde Halse og uomskaarne paa Hjerter og Øren! I staa altid den Helligaand imod; som eders Fædre, saaledes ogsaa I.
52 Which of the prophets did not your fathers persecute? They killed those who foretold the coming of the Righteous One, of whom you have now become betrayers and murderers.
Hvem af Profeterne er der, som eders Fædre ikke have forfulgt? og de ihjelsloge dem, som forud forkyndte om den retfærdiges Komme, hvis Forrædere og Mordere I nu ere blevne,
53 You received the Law as it was ordained by angels, and did not keep it."
I, som modtoge Loven under Engles Besørgelse og have ikke holdt den!‟
54 Now when they heard these things, they were furious, and they ground their teeth at him.
Men da de hørte dette, skar det dem i deres Hjerter, og de bede Tænderne sammen imod ham.
55 But he, being full of the Ruach ha-Kodesh, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Yeshua standing on the right hand of God.
Men som han var fuld af den Helligaand, stirrede han op imod Himmelen og saa Guds Herlighed og Jesus staaende ved Guds højre Haand.
56 And he said, "Look, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."
Og han sagde: „Se, jeg ser Himlene aabnede og Menneskesønnen staaende ved Guds højre Haand.‟
57 But they shouted out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and rushed at him with one accord.
Men de raabte med høj Røst og holdt for deres Øren og stormede endrægtigt ind paa ham.
58 They threw him out of the city, and stoned him. The witnesses placed their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul.
Og de stødte ham ud uden for Staden og stenede ham. Og Vidnerne lagde deres Klæder af ved en ung Mands Fødder, som hed Saulus.
59 They stoned Stephen as he called out, saying, "Lord Yeshua, receive my spirit."
Og de stenede Stefanus, som bad og sagde: „Herre Jesus, tag imod min Aand!‟
60 He kneeled down, and shouted out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.
Men han faldt paa Knæ og raabte med høj Røst: „Herre, tilregn dem ikke denne Synd!‟ Og som han sagde dette, sov han hen.
