Acts 2
1 On the day when [the Jews were celebrating the] Pentecost [festival], the [believers] were all together in one place [in Jerusalem].
Og da pinsefestens dag var kommet, var de alle samlet på samme sted.
2 Suddenly [they heard] a noise [coming] from the sky [that sounded] like a strong wind. Everyone in the entire house where they were sitting heard the noise.
Og med ett kom det en lyd fra himmelen som av et fremfarende veldig vær og fylte hele huset der de satt.
3 Then they saw [what looked] like flames of fire. These flames separated [from one another], and [one of them] came down on [the head of] each of the believers.
Og det viste sig for dem tunger likesom av ild, som skilte sig og satte sig på enhver av dem.
4 Then all of the believers were (completely controlled/empowered) by the Holy Spirit {the Holy Spirit (completely controlled/empowered) all of the believers}, and he enabled them to begin speaking other languages [MTY] [that they had not learned].
Da blev de alle fylt med den Hellige Ånd, og de begynte å tale med andre tunger, alt efter som Ånden gav dem å tale.
5 At that time [many] Jews were staying in Jerusalem [to celebrate the Pentecost festival. They were people who] always tried to obey [the Jewish] laws. [They had come] from many different [HYP] countries.
Nu bodde det i Jerusalem jøder, gudfryktige menn fra alle folkeslag under himmelen.
6 When they heard that [loud] noise [like a wind], a crowd came together [to the place where the believers were]. The crowd (was amazed/did not know what to think), because each of them was hearing [one of] the believers speaking in that person’s own language.
Da nu denne lyd kom, strømmet hopen sammen og blev forvirret, fordi de hørte dem tale enhver på sitt eget mål;
7 They were completely amazed, and they said [to each other], “All these men who are speaking have [RHQ] [always] resided in Galilee [district, so they would not know our languages].
og de blev forferdet og undret sig, og sa: Men er ikke alle disse som taler, galileere?
8 ([We(inc) do not understand] how these men can speak our own native languages!/How can these men speak our own native languages?) [RHQ] [But] all of us hear them [doing that]
Hvorledes går det da til at vi alle hører vårt eget mål, som vi er født i,
9 [Some of us are from the regions of] Parthia and Media and Elam, and [others of us] reside [in the regions of] Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia.
vi partere og medere og elamitter, og vi som bor i Mesopotamia og Judea og Kappadokia, Pontus og Asia,
10 There are some from Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt, and the regions in Libya [that are] near Cyrene [city]. [There are others of us] who are [here] visiting [Jerusalem] from Rome.
Frygia og Pamfylia, Egypten og landskapene i Libya ved Kyrene, og vi tilreisende fra Rom,
11 [They include native] Jews as well as non-Jews who have accepted what we Jews believe. And others of us are from Crete [Island] and from [the region of] Arabia. [So how is it that these people] are speaking our languages [MTY], telling us [about] (the great/the mighty things) [that] God has done?”
både jøder og tilhengere av jødenes tro, kretere og arabere: vi hører dem tale om Guds store gjerninger på våre tungemål?
12 All [those people] were amazed, and did not know what to think [about what was happening]. So they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
Men de blev alle forferdet og var rådville, og de sa til hverandre: Hvad kan dette være?
13 But [some] of them (made fun of/laughed at) [those who believed in Jesus]. They said, “[These people are talking like this because] they are drunk!”
Men andre sa spottende: De er fulle av søt vin!
14 So Peter stood up with the [other] eleven [apostles] and spoke loudly to the [crowd of] people, saying, “[My] fellow Jews and you [others] who are staying in Jerusalem, listen to me, all of you, and I will explain to you what is happening!
Da stod Peter frem med de elleve, og løftet sin røst og talte til dem: I jødiske menn og alle I som bor i Jerusalem! Dette være eder vitterlig, og lån øre til mine ord!
15 [Some of] you think that [we(exc) are drunk], but we are not drunk. It is [only] nine o’clock in the morning, [and people here never get drunk this early] in the day!
For disse er ikke drukne, således som I mener; det er jo bare den tredje time på dagen;
16 Instead, [what has happened to us is] the [miraculous] thing that the prophet Joel wrote about [long ago]. [Joel wrote]: God says,
men dette er det som er sagt ved profeten Joel:
17 ‘During the last/final days [before I judge all people], I will give my Spirit abundantly/generously to people [SYN] everywhere. [As a result], your sons and daughters will tell [people] messages from me, the young men among you will see visions [from me], and the old men among you will have dreams [that I will give them].
Og det skal skje i de siste dager, sier Gud, da vil jeg utgyde av min Ånd over alt kjød, og eders sønner og eders døtre skal tale profetiske ord, og eders unge menn skal se syner, og eders oldinger ha drømmer;
18 During those days I will abundantly/generously give my Spirit [even] to men and women believers [who are] my slaves/servants, so they can tell [people] messages from me.
ja, endog over mine træler og over mine trælkvinner vil jeg i hine dager utgyde av min Ånd, og de skal tale profetiske ord.
19 I will cause amazing things to happen in the sky, and I will do miracles on the earth that will show [that I am powerful]. [Here] on the earth [CHI] I [will cause wars with] blood, fire and thick/dark smoke [everywhere].
Og jeg vil la under skje på himmelen i det høie, og tegn på jorden i det lave: blod og ild og røkskyer;
20 [In the sky] the sun will [appear] dark [to people] and the moon [will appear] red [to them. Those things will happen] before the important and splendid/amazing day [MTY] [when I], the Lord [God, will come to judge everyone].
solen skal bli til mørke og månen til blod, før Herrens dag kommer, den store og herlige.
21 [Before that time], all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins] will be saved {[I], the Lord, will save all those who ask [me] [MTY] [to save them from the guilt of their sins].}’”
Og det skal skje: Hver den som påkaller Herrens navn, han skal bli frelst.
22 [Peter continued], “[My fellow] Israelites, listen to me! [When] Jesus from Nazareth [town lived] among you, God proved to you [that he had sent him] by enabling him to do many amazing miracles. You yourselves know [that this is true].
Israelittiske menn! hør disse ord: Jesus fra Nasaret, en mann som var blitt utpekt for eder av Gud ved kraftige gjerninger og under og tegn, som Gud gjorde ved ham midt iblandt eder, således som I selv vet,
23 [Even though you knew that], you turned this man [Jesus] over to his enemies. [However], God had already planned for that, and he knew all about it. Then you urged men [SYN] who do not obey [God’s] law to kill Jesus. They did that by nailing him to a cross.
han som blev forrådt efter Guds besluttede råd og forutviden, ham slo I ihjel, idet I naglet ham til korset ved urettferdiges hender;
24 He suffered terribly [when he died, but God caused him to become alive again]. God did not let him continue to be dead, because it was not possible for him [PRS] to remain dead.”
men Gud opreiste ham, idet han løste dødens veer, eftersom det ikke var mulig at han kunde holdes av den.
25 “[Long ago King] David wrote [what] the Messiah [said], “knew [that] you, Lord [God, would always] be near me. You are right beside [MTY] me, so I will not be afraid of [those who want to harm me].
For David sier om ham: Jeg hadde alltid Herren for mine øine, for han er ved min høire hånd, forat jeg ikke skal rokkes;
26 Because of that I [SYN] joyfully praise [you, O God]. And I am completely confident that [you(sg) will] ([cause my body] to become alive [again]/[raise me from the dead]).
derfor gledet mitt hjerte sig og min tunge jublet, ja endog mitt kjød skal legge sig til hvile med håp;
27 You will not allow my spirit to remain in the place where the dead are. You will not [even] let my body decay, [because] I am devoted to you and always obey [you]. (Hadēs g86)
for du skal ikke forlate min sjel i dødsriket, ei heller skal du overgi din hellige til å se tilintetgjørelse; (Hadēs g86)
28 You have told me [that you will cause my body] to become alive [again]. You will make me very happy [because] you will be with me [forever].”
du kunngjorde mig livets veier, du skal fylle mig med glede for ditt åsyn.
29 [Peter] continued, “My fellow Jews, I can tell you confidently that [our royal] ancestor, [King] David, died, and that his [body] was buried {that [people] buried his [body]}. And the place [where they] buried his body is [still] here today.
Brødre! la mig få lov til å tale med frimodighet til eder om patriarken David, at han både døde og blev begravet, og hans grav er iblandt oss den dag idag;
30 So [we(inc) know that David was not speaking those words about himself. But] because he was a prophet, [he spoke about the Messiah]. David knew that God had strongly promised him that he would cause one of his descendants to become king [MTY] like David was king. (OR, to [be the Messiah who would] rule [God’s people] like David had ruled [them].)
da han nu var en profet og visste at Gud med en ed hadde tilsvoret ham at av hans lends frukt vilde han sette en på hans trone,
31 David knew beforehand [what God would do], so he [was able to] say that God would cause the Messiah to live again [after he died]. He said that God would not let the Messiah remain in the place of the dead, nor let his body decay.” (Hadēs g86)
så var det om Messias' opstandelse han fremsynt talte det ord at han ikke blev forlatt i dødsriket, ei heller så hans kjød tilintetgjørelse. (Hadēs g86)
32 “[After] this [man] Jesus [had died], God caused him to become alive [again]. All of us(exc), [his followers], have seen [and tell people] that Jesus has become alive again.
Denne Jesus opreiste Gud, som vi alle er vidner om.
33 God has greatly honored Jesus [by causing him to rule] right beside him [MTY] [in heaven]. Jesus has received the Holy Spirit from [God] his Father, [just like] God promised. [So] Jesus has generously/abundantly given us the Holy Spirit, [and he has shown that by] what you are seeing and hearing.
Efterat han nu er ophøiet ved Guds høire hånd og av sin Fader har fått den Hellige Ånd, som var lovt, så utgjød han dette som I både ser og hører.
34 [We(inc) know that David was not speaking about himself] because David did not go up into heaven [as Jesus did]. [Besides that], David himself said [this about the Messiah]: The Lord [God] said to my Lord [the Messiah], ‘Reign here beside me,
For David fór ikke op til himmelen, men han sier selv: Herren sa til min herre: Sett dig ved min høire hånd,
35 while I completely defeat [MTY] your enemies.’”
til jeg får lagt dine fiender til skammel for dine føtter!
36 [Peter concluded], “So I [want you and] all [other] Israelites [MTY] to acknowledge that God has caused this Jesus to be both [our] Lord/Ruler and the Messiah. [But God considers that] you are the ones who nailed Jesus to a cross.”
Så skal da hele Israels hus vite for visst at Gud har gjort ham både til Herre og til Messias, denne Jesus som I korsfestet.
37 When the people heard what [Peter said], they felt very guilty [IDM]. So they asked him and the other apostles, “Fellow-countrymen, what should we [(exc)] do [so that God will forgive us]?”
Men da de hørte dette, stakk det dem i hjertet, og de sa til Peter og de andre apostler: Hvad skal vi gjøre, brødre?
38 Peter [answered] them, “Each of you should turn away from your sinful behavior. Then [we(exc)] will baptize you, if [you now believe] in Jesus Christ. Then [God] will give you the Holy Spirit.
Peter sa da til dem: Omvend eder, og enhver av eder la sig døpe på Jesu Kristi navn til syndenes forlatelse, så skal I få den Hellige Ånds gave!
39 [God] has promised [to do that] [MTY] for you and your descendants, and for all [others who believe in him], even those who [live] far away [from here]. The Lord our God [will give his Spirit] to everyone whom he invites [to become his people]!”
For løftet hører eder til og eders barn og alle dem som er langt borte, så mange som Herren vår Gud kaller til.
40 Peter spoke much more [and] spoke strongly/forcefully to them. He pleaded with them, “[Ask God] to save you [so that he will not punish you when he punishes] these evil people [who have rejected Jesus]!”
Og med flere andre ord vidnet han og formante dem, idet han sa: La eder frelse fra denne vanartede slekt!
41 So the people who believed Peter’s message were baptized. There were about 3,000 [SYN] [who] joined the group [of believers] that day.
De som nu tok imot hans ord, blev døpt, og det blev på den dag lagt til omkring tre tusen sjeler.
42 They continually obeyed what the apostles taught, and they very frequently met together [with the other believers]. And they continually ate [together and celebrated the Lord’s Supper], and continually prayed [together].
Og de holdt trolig fast ved apostlenes lære og ved samfundet, ved brøds-brytelsen og ved bønnene.
43 All the people [SYN] [who were in Jerusalem] were greatly revering [God because] the apostles were frequently doing many kinds of miraculous things.
Og det kom frykt over hver sjel, og mange under og tegn blev gjort ved apostlene.
44 All of those who believed [in Jesus] were united [and regularly met] together. They were also sharing everything that they had with one another.
Og alle de troende holdt sig sammen og hadde alt felles,
45 [From time to time some of] them sold [some of] their land and [some of the other] things that they owned, and they would give [some of] the money [from what they sold] to others [among them], according to what they needed.
og sine eiendeler og sitt gods solgte de og delte det ut til alle, efter som nogen hadde trang til,
46 Every day they continued meeting together in the temple [area]. And every day they gladly and generously shared their food [SYN] [with each other], as they ate together [and celebrated the Lord’s Supper] in their houses.
og idet de samdrektig hver dag stadig søkte templet og brøt brødet hjemme, nøt de sin mat med fryd og hjertets enfold,
47 [As they did so], they were praising God, and all the [other] people [in Jerusalem] were [thinking] favorably about them. [As those things were happening], every day the Lord [Jesus] increased the number of people who were being saved {whom he was saving} [from the guilt of their sins].
idet de lovet Gud og hadde yndest hos hele folket. Og Herren la hver dag dem som lot sig frelse, til menigheten.
