Acts 5
1 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
Men en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, tillige med Safira, hans Hustru, solgte en Ejendom
2 and kept back part of the price, his wife also having knowledge of it; and brought a certain part, and laid it at the feet of the apostles.
og stak med sin Hustrus Vidende noget af Værdien til Side og bragte en Del deraf og lagde den for Apostlenes Fødder.
3 But Peter said, Ananias, why did Satan fill thy heart that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Spirit, and keep back part of the price of the land?
Men Peter sagde: "Ananias! hvorfor har Satan fyldt dit Hjerte, så du har løjet imod den Helligånd og stukket noget til Side af Summen for Jordstykket?
4 While it remained, was it not thine own? And after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? Why didst thou conceive this thing in thy heart? Thou didst not lie to men, but to God.
Var det ikke dit, så længe du ejede det, og stod ikke det, som det blev solgt for, til din Rådighed? Hvorfor har du dog sat dig denne Gerning for i dit Hjerte? Du har ikke løjet for Mennesker, men for Gud."
5 And Ananias, hearing these words, fell down, and expired. And great fear came on all that heard of it.
Men da Ananias hørte disse Ord, faldt han om og udåndede. Og der kom stor Frygt over alle, som hørte det.
6 And the young men arose, and wrapt him up, and carried him out, and buried him.
Men de unge Mænd stode op og lagde ham til Rette og bare ham ud og begravede ham.
7 And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what had happened, came in.
Men det skete omtrent tre Timer derefter, da kom hans Hustru ind uden at vide, hvad der var sket.
8 Peter said to her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yes, for so much.
Da sagde Peter til hende: "Sig mig, om I solgte Jordstykket til den Pris?" Og hun sagde: "Ja, til den Pris."
9 And Peter said to her, Why is it that ye agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? Lo! the feet of those who have buried thy husband are at the door, and they will carry thee out.
Men Peter sagde til hende: "Hvorfor ere I dog blevne enige om at friste Herrens Ånd? Se, deres Fødder, som have begravet din Mand, ere for Døren, og de skulle bære dig ud."
10 And she fell down immediately at his feet, and expired; and the young men, when they came in, found her dead, and carried her out, and buried her by her husband.
Men hun faldt straks om for hans Fødder og udåndede. Men da de unge Mænd kom ind, fandt de hende død, og de bare hende ud og begravede hende hos hendes Mand.
11 And great fear came upon all the church, and upon all that heard of these things.
Og stor Frygt kom over hele Menigheden og over alle, som hørte dette.
12 And many signs and wonders were wrought among the people by the hands of the apostles; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.
Men ved Apostlenes Hænder skete der mange Tegn og Undere iblandt Folket; og de vare alle endrægtigt sammen i Salomons Søjlegang.
13 But of the rest no one dared to join himself to them. But the people highly honored them;
Men af de andre turde ingen holde sig til dem; dog priste Folket dem højt,
14 and more and more were believers added to the Lord, multitudes both of men and women;
og der føjedes stedse flere troende til Herren, Skarer både af Mænd og Kvinder,
15 so that in the streets they brought out the sick, and laid them on beds and couches, in order that at least the shadow of Peter, as he passed, might overshadow some of them.
så at de endogså bare de syge ud på Gaderne og lagde dem på Senge og Løjbænke, for at når Peter kom, endog blot hans Skygge kunde overskygge nogen af dem.
16 The multitude also belonging to the cities around came together to Jerusalem bringing the sick, and those plagued by unclean spirits; and they were all healed.
Ja, selv fra Byerne i Jerusalems Omegn strømmede Mængden sammen og bragte syge og sådanne, som vare plagede af urene Ånder, og de bleve alle helbredte.
17 But the high-priest and all that were with him, which is the sect of the Sadducees, rose up and were filled with indignation,
Men Ypperstepræsten stod op samt alle de, som holdt med ham, nemlig Saddukæernes Parti, og de bleve fulde af Nidkærhed.
18 and laid hands on the apostles, and put them in the public prison.
Og de lagde Hånd på Apostlene og satte dem i offentlig Forvaring.
19 But an angel of the Lord in the night opened the prison-doors, and brought them forth and said,
Men en Herrens Engel åbnede Fængselets Døre om Natten og førte dem ud og sagde:
20 Go, stand and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life.
"Går hen og træder frem og taler i Helligdommen alle disse Livets Ord for Folket!"
21 And hearing this, they went into the temple at daybreak and taught. But the high-priest and they that were with him came and called together the council, and all the elders of the sons of Israel, and sent to the prison to have them brought.
Men da de havde hørt dette, gik de ved Daggry ind i Helligdommen og lærte. Men Ypperstepræsten og de, som holdt med ham, kom og sammenkaldte Rådet og alle Israels Børns Ældste og sendte Bud til Fængselet, at de skulde føres frem.
22 But the officers that came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and brought word,
Men da Tjenerne kom derhen, fandt de dem ikke i Fængselet; og de kom tilbage og meldte det og sagde:
23 saying, The prison we found shut in all security and the keepers standing at the doors: but when we opened them, we found no one within.
"Fængselet fandt vi tillukket helt forsvarligt, og Vogterne stående ved Dørene; men da vi lukkede op, fandt vi ingen derinde."
24 And when the priest, and the captain of the temple, and the chief priests heard these words, they were at a loss concerning them, to what this would come.
Men da Høvedsmanden for Helligdommen og Ypperstepræsterne hørte disse Ord, bleve de tvivlrådige om dem, hvad dette skulde blive til.
25 But one came and brought them word, Lo! the men whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people.
Men der kom en og meldte dem: "Se, de Mænd, som I satte i Fængselet, stå i Helligdommen og lære Folket."
26 Then went the captain with the officers, and brought them without violence, that they might not be stoned; for they feared the people.
Da gik Høvedsmanden hen med Tjenerne og hentede dem, dog ikke med Magt; thi de frygtede for Folket, at de skulde blive stenede.
27 And having brought them, they set them before the council. And the high-priest questioned them,
Men da de havde hentet dem, stillede de dem for Rådet; og Ypperstepræsten spurgte dem og sagde:
28 saying, We strictly commanded you not to teach in this name, and lo! ye have filled Jerusalem with your teaching, and mean to bring this man's blood upon us.
"Vi bøde eder alvorligt, at I ikke måtte lære i dette Navn, og se, I have fyldt Jerusalem med eders Lære, og I ville bringe dette Menneskes Blod over os!"
29 But Peter and the apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Men Peter og Apostlene svarede og sagde: "Man bør adlyde Gud mere end Mennesker.
30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus, whom ye slew by hanging him on a cross;
Vore Fædres Gud oprejste Jesus, hvem I hængte på et Træ og sloge ihjel.
31 him hath God exalted by his right hand, as a Leader and Saviour, to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
Ham har Gud ved sin højre Hånd ophøjet til en Fyrste og Frelser for at give Israel Omvendelse og Syndernes Forladelse.
32 And we are his witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit which God hath given to those who obey him.
Og vi ere hans Vidner om disse Ting, ligesom også den Helligånd, som Gud har givet dem, der adlyde ham."
33 But when they heard this, they were filled with rage, and were resolving to kill them.
Men da de hørte dette, skar det dem i Hjertet, og de rådsloge om at slå dem ihjel.
34 But there stood up one in the council, a Pharisee, named Gamaliel, a doctor of the law, in high esteem with all the people, and commanded to put the men forth a little while,
Men der rejste sig i Rådet en Farisæer ved Navn Gamaliel, en Lovlærer, højt agtet af hele Folket, og han bød, at de skulde lade Mændene træde lidt udenfor.
35 and said to them [[of the council]], Men of Israel, take heed to yourselves as to what ye are about to do in respect to these men.
Og han sagde til dem: "I israelitiske Mænd! ser eder vel for, hvad I gøre med disse Mennesker.
36 For before these days arose Theudas, boasting himself to be somebody; to whom a number of men, about four hundred, joined themselves: who was slain, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered, and came to nought.
Thi for nogen Tid siden fremstod Theudas, som udgav sig selv for at være noget, og et Antal af omtrent fire Hundrede Mænd sluttede sig til ham; han blev slået ihjel, og alle de, som adløde ham, adsplittedes og bleve til intet.
37 After this man arose Judas the Galilaean, in the days of the registering, and drew people away after him; he also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
Efter ham fremstod Judas Galilæeren i Skatteindskrivningens Dage og fik en Flok Mennesker til at følge sig. Også han omkom, og alle de, som adløde ham, bleve adspredte.
38 And now I say to you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this design or this work be of men, it will come to nought;
Og nu siger jeg eder: Holder eder fra disse Mennesker, og lader dem fare; thi dersom dette Råd eller dette Værk er af Mennesker, bliver det til intet;
39 but if it be of God, ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest haply ye be found also fighting against God.
men er det af Gud, kunne I ikke gøre dem til intet. Lader eder dog ikke findes som de, der endog ville stride mod Gud!"
40 And they were persuaded by him; and having called the apostles, they beat them, and commanded them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and released them.
Og de adløde ham; og de kaldte Apostlene frem og lode dem piske og forbøde dem at tale i Jesu Navn og løslode dem.
41 They therefore went away from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame in behalf of that name;
Så gik de da glade bort fra Rådets Åsyn, fordi de vare blevne agtede værdige til at vanæres for hans Navns Skyld.
42 and every day, in the temple, and in houses, they ceased not to teach, and to publish the glad tidings concerning Jesus the Christ.
Og de holdt ikke op med hver Dag at lære i Helligdommen og i Husene og at forkynde Evangeliet om Kristus Jesus.
