Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, after we had torn ourselves from them, and had put to sea, that we came with a straight course to Cos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from thence to Patara.
Men da vi havde revet os løs fra dem og vare afsejlede, droge vi lige til Kos, og den næste Dag til Rodus og derfra til Patara.
2 And finding a ship crossing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and put to sea.
Og da vi fandt et Skib, som skulde gaa lige til Fønikien, gik vi om Bord og afsejlede.
3 And having come in sight of Cyprus, we passed it on the left, and sailed to Syria, and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unlade her cargo.
Men da vi havde faaet Kypern i Sigte og vare komne den forbi til venstre for os, sejlede vi til Syrien og landede i Tyrus; thi der skulde Skibet losse sin Ladning.
4 And having found out the disciples, we remained there seven days; and they told Paul, through the Spirit, not to go up to Jerusalem.
Og vi opsøgte Disciplene og bleve der syv Dage; disse sagde ved Aanden til Paulus, at han ikke skulde drage op til Jerusalem.
5 And when we had completed the days, we departed, and went our way, they all accompanying us, with wives and children, till we were out of the city; and having kneeled down on the shore and prayed,
Men da vi havde tilendebragt disse Dage, droge vi derfra og rejste videre, idet de alle, med Hustruer og Børn, ledsagede os uden for Byen; og efter at have knælet paa Strandbredden og holdt Bøn
6 we took leave of each other, and went on board the ship; and they returned home.
toge vi Afsked med hverandre; og vi gik om Bord i Skibet, men de vendte tilbage til deres Hjem.
7 But we, finishing our voyage, came down from Tyre to Ptolemais; and having embraced the brethren, remained with them one day.
Men vi fuldendte Sejladsen og kom fra Tyrus til Ptolemais, og vi hilste paa Brødrene og bleve een Dag hos dem.
8 And on the morrow we departed, and came to Caesarea; and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.
Og den følgende Dag droge vi derfra og kom til Kæsarea, og vi gik ind i Evangelisten Filips Hus, han, som var en af de syv, og bleve hos ham.
9 And this man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
Men denne havde fire ugifte Døtre, som profeterede.
10 And while we were staying some days longer, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus;
Men da vi bleve der flere Dage, kom der en Profet ned fra Judæa ved Navn Agabus.
11 and coming to us, he took off Paul's girdle, and bound his own feet and hands, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit: So will the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and will deliver him into the hands of the gentiles.
Og han kom til os og tog Paulus's Bælte og bandt sine egne Fødder og Hænder og sagde: „Dette siger den Helligaand: Den Mand, hvem dette Bælte tilhører, skulle Jøderne binde saaledes i Jerusalem og overgive i Hedningers Hænder.‟
12 But when we heard this, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go to Jerusalem.
Men da vi hørte dette, bade saavel vi som de der paa Stedet ham om ikke at drage op til Jerusalem.
13 Then answered Paul, What mean ye that ye weep, and break my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Da svarede Paulus: „Hvad gøre I, at I græde og gøre mit Hjerte modløst? thi jeg er rede til ikke alene at bindes, men ogsaa at dø i Jerusalem for den Herres Jesu Navns Skyld.‟
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased; saying, The Lord's will be done.
Da han nu ikke vilde lade sig overtale, bleve vi stille og sagde: „Herrens Villie ske!‟
15 And after those days we got ready our baggage, and went up to Jerusalem.
Men efter disse Dage gjorde vi os rede og droge op til Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also some of the disciples of Caesarea, bringing us to one Mnason, a Cyprian, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Og ogsaa nogle af Disciplene fra Kæsarea rejste med os og bragte os til Mnason, en Mand fra Kypern, en gammel Discipel, hos hvem vi skulde have Herberge.
17 And when we arrived at Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Da vi nu kom til Jerusalem, modtoge Brødrene os med Glæde.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Og Dagen efter gik Paulus ind med os til Jakob, og alle de Ældste kom derhen.
19 And having embraced them, he recounted particularly what things God had wrought among the gentiles through his ministry.
Og da han havde hilst paa dem, fortalte han Stykke for Stykke, hvad Gud havde gjort iblandt Hedningerne ved hans Tjeneste.
20 And they on hearing it glorified God; and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of believers there are among the Jews, and they are all zealots for the Law.
Men da de hørte dette, priste de Gud, og de sagde til ham: „Broder! du ser, hvor mange Tusinder der er af Jøderne, som have antaget Troen, og de ere alle nidkære for Loven.
21 But they have been informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the gentiles to forsake Moses, telling them not to circumcise their children, nor to walk after the customs.
Men de have hørt om dig, at du lærer alle Jøderne ude iblandt Hedningerne at falde fra Moses og siger, at de ikke skulle omskære Børnene, ej heller vandre efter Skikkene.
22 What then is to be done? The multitude will necessarily come together; for they will hear that thou hast come.
Hvad er der da at gøre? Der maa sikkert komme mange Mennesker sammen; thi de ville faa at høre, at du er kommen.
23 Do this therefore that we advise thee. We have four men who have a vow on them.
Gør derfor dette, som vi sige dig: Vi have her fire Mænd, som have et Løfte paa sig.
24 These take, and purify thyself with them, and pay the expenses for them, that they may shave their heads; and all will know that those things of which they have been informed concerning thee are nothing, but that thou thyself also walkest in observance of the Law.
Tag dem med dig, og rens dig sammen med dem, og gør Omkostningen for dem, for at de kunne lade deres Hoved rage; saa ville alle erkende, at det, som de have hørt om dig, ikke har noget paa sig, men at du ogsaa selv vandrer saaledes, at du holder Loven.
25 But concerning the gentile believers, we have written to them and decided that they should observe no such thing, save only to abstain from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from what hath been strangled, and from fornication.
Men om de Hedninger, som ere blevne troende, have vi udsendt en Skrivelse med den Afgørelse, at de intet saadant skulle holde, men kun vogte sig for Afgudsofferkød og Blod og det kvalte og Utugt.‟
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day having purified himself with them, entered the temple, announcing the completion of the days of the purification, until the offering was made for every one of them.
Da tog Paulus Mændene med sig næste Dag, og efter at have renset sig sammen med dem gik han ind i Helligdommen og anmeldte Renselsesdagenes Udløb, da Offeret blev bragt for hver enkelt af dem.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews from Asia, having seen him in the temple, stirred up the whole multitude, and laid hands on him,
Men da de syv Dage næsten vare til Ende, satte Jøderne fra Asien, som havde set ham i Helligdommen, hele Mængden i Oprør og lagde Haand paa ham
28 crying out, Men of Israel, help! This is the man that teacheth every one everywhere against the people, and the Law, and this place; and besides he even brought Greeks into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
og raabte: „I israelitiske Mænd, kommer til Hjælp! Denne er det Menneske, som alle Vegne lærer alle imod Folket og Loven og dette Sted; og tilmed har han ogsaa ført Grækere ind i Helligdommen og gjort dette hellige Sted urent; ‟
29 For they had before seen with him in the city Trophimus, the Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.
de havde nemlig i Forvejen set Efesieren Trofimus i Staden sammen med ham, og ham mente de, at Paulus havde ført ind i Helligdommen.
30 And the whole city was in motion, and the people ran together; and they laid hold of Paul and dragged him out of the temple; and forthwith the doors were shut.
Og hele Staden kom i Bevægelse, og Folket stimlede sammen; og de grebe Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Helligdommen, og straks bleve Dørene lukkede.
31 And while they were endeavoring to kill him, tidings came up to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar;
Og da de søgte at slaa ham ihjel, gik der Melding op til Krigsøversten for Vagtafdelingen, at hele Jerusalem var i Oprør.
32 who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them. And seeing the chief captain and the soldiers, they left off beating Paul.
Han tog straks Stridsmænd og Høvedsmænd med sig og ilede ned imod dem. Men da de saa Krigsøversten og Stridsmændene, holdt de op at slaa Paulus.
33 Then the chief captain came near and laid hold of him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and inquired who he was, and what he had done.
Da traadte Krigsøversten til, greb ham og befalede, at han skulde bindes med to Lænker, og han spurgte, hvem han var, og hvad han havde gjort.
34 And some cried one thing, and some another, among the multitude. And not being able to gain certain knowledge on account of the uproar, he ordered him to be carried into the castle.
Da raabte nogle i Skaren eet, andre et andet til ham; men da han ikke kunde faa noget paalideligt at vide paa Grund af Larmen, befalede han at føre ham ind i Borgen.
35 And when he reached the stairs, he was obliged to be borne by the soldiers, on account of the violence of the crowd;
Men da han kom paa Trappen, gik det saaledes, at han maatte bæres af Stridsmændene paa Grund af Skarens Voldsomhed;
36 for the multitude of the people were following, crying out, Away with him!
thi Folkemængden fulgte efter og raabte: „Bort med ham!‟
37 And as he was about to be led into the castle, Paul saith to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? And he said, Canst thou speak Greek?
Og da Paulus var ved at blive ført ind i Borgen, siger han til Krigsøversten: „Er det mig tilladt at sige noget til dig?‟ Men han sagde: „Forstaar du Græsk?
38 Art thou not then the Egyptian, who before these days made an insurrection, and led out into the wilderness those four thousand men of the assassins?
Er du da ikke den Ægypter, som for nogen Tid siden gjorde Oprør og førte de fire Tusinde Stimænd ud i Ørkenen?‟
39 But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus, a citizen of no mean city of Cilicia; and I beseech thee, suffer me to speak to the people.
Men Paulus sagde: „Jeg er en jødisk Mand fra Tarsus, Borger i en ikke ubekendt By i Kilikien. Men jeg beder dig, tilsted mig at tale til Folket!‟
40 And when he had given him leave, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with his hand to the people, and there was a great silence; and he spoke to them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,
Og da han tilstedte det, stod Paulus frem paa Trappen og slog til Lyd med Haanden for Folket. Men da der var blevet dyb Tavshed, tiltalte han dem i det hebraiske Sprog og sagde:
