Acts 3
1 [One day] Peter and John were going to the Temple [courtyard]. It was three o’clock in the afternoon, which was the time when people prayed [there publicly].
Men Peter og Johannes gik op i Helligdommen ved Bedetimen, den niende Time.
2 There was a man there who had been lame from the time he was born. He [was sitting by] the gate called Beautiful [Gate], at the entrance to the Temple [area]. People put him there every day, so that he could ask those who were entering [or leaving] the temple courtyard to give him some money.
Og en Mand, som var lam fra Moders Liv af, blev baaren frem; ham satte de daglig ved den Dør til Helligdommen, som kaldtes den skønne, for at han kunde bede dem, som gik ind i Helligdommen, om Almisse.
3 As Peter and John were about to enter [the Temple courtyard], the lame man saw them and asked them several times to give him some money. (OR, The lame man said to them several times, “Please give me some money!”)
Da han saa Peter og Johannes, idet de vilde gaa ind i Helligdommen, bad han om at faa en Almisse.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Da saa Peter tillige med Johannes fast paa ham og sagde: „Se paa os!‟
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Og han gav Agt paa dem, efterdi han ventede at faa noget af dem.
6 Then Peter said to him, “I do not have any money [MTY], but what I [can do], I will [do] for you. Jesus Christ, [who was] from Nazareth [town], has authorized [MTY] me [to heal you! So get up and] walk!”
Men Peter sagde: „Sølv og Guld ejer jeg ikke, men hvad jeg har, det giver jeg dig: I Jesu Kristi Nazaræerens Navn staa op og gaa!‟
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
Og han greb ham ved den højre Haand og rejste ham op.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Men straks bleve hans Ben og Ankler stærke, og han sprang op og stod og gik omkring og gik med dem ind i Helligdommen, hvor han gik omkring og sprang og lovede Gud.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Og hele Folket saa ham gaa omkring og love Gud.
10 They recognized that he was the man who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate in the Temple [courtyard] and ask [people] for money! So all the people there were greatly amazed at what had happened to him.
Og de kendte ham som den, der havde siddet ved den skønne Port til Helligdommen for at faa Almisse; og de bleve fulde af Rædsel og Forfærdelse over det, som var timedes ham.
11 As the man clung to Peter and John, all the people were so surprised [that they did not know what to think] So they ran to the two apostles at the place [in the Temple courtyard] that is called {that [people] call} Solomon’s Porch.
Medens han nu holdt fast ved Peter og Johannes, løb alt Folket rædselsslaget sammen om dem i den Søjlegang, som kaldes Salomons.
12 When Peter saw that, he said to the crowd, “Fellow Israelites, (you should not be surprised about what has happened to this man!/why are you so surprised about what has happened to this man?) [RHQ] And you should not stare at us, either! You seem to [RHQ] think that the two of us enabled this man to walk because we [(exc)] ourselves are powerful or because we please God very much!
Men da Peter saa det, talte han til Folket: „I israelitiske Mænd! Hvorfor undre I eder over dette? eller hvorfor stirre I paa os, som om vi af egen Magt eller Gudfrygtighed havde gjort, at han kan gaa?
13 [So I will tell you what is really happening]. Our ancestors, including Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, worshipped God. And now he has greatly honored Jesus, who always served him. Your [leaders] brought Jesus [to the governor, Pilate], so that [his soldiers would kill him]. And [God considers that] in front of Pilate you [were the ones who rejected] Jesus [as your king], after Pilate had decided that he should release Jesus.
Abrahams og Isaks og Jakobs Gud, vore Fædres Gud, har herliggjort sin Tjener Jesus, hvem I prisgave og fornægtede for Pilatus, da han dømte, at han skulde løslades.
14 [Although Jesus] always did what was right/just and good, you rejected him. [Pilate wanted to release him, but] you urgently asked Pilate to release (a murderer/someone who had killed people)!
Men I fornægtede den hellige og retfærdige og bade om, at en Morder maatte skænkes eder.
15 [God considers that] you killed [Jesus], the one who gives people [eternal] life. But God has greatly honored him (by causing him to become alive again after he died/by raising him from the dead). Many of us saw [him after that, and now] we [(exc)] are telling [you] about it.
Men Livets Fyrste sloge I ihjel, hvem Gud oprejste fra de døde, hvorom vi ere Vidner.
16 It is because [we two] trusted in what Jesus [MTY, PRS] [could do, that he] made this man, whom you see and know, strong again. Yes, it is because we [(exc)] trusted in Jesus that he has completely healed this man for all of you to see.”
Og i Troen paa hans Navn har hans Navn styrket denne, hvem I se og kende, og Troen, som virkedes ved ham, har givet denne hans Førlighed i Paasyn af eder alle.
17 “Now, my fellow-countrymen, I know that you and your leaders did that [to Jesus] because you [and they] did not know [that he was the Messiah].
Og nu, Brødre! jeg ved, at I handlede i Uvidenhed, ligesom ogsaa eders Raadsherrer.
18 However, [your putting him to death] was what God had predicted that people would do. [Long ago] he told all the prophets [MTY] to write [what people would do to the Messiah. They wrote] that the Messiah, whom God [would send], would suffer [and die].
Men Gud har saaledes fuldbyrdet, hvad han forud forkyndte ved alle Profeternes Mund, at hans Salvede skulde lide.
19 So, turn away from your sinful behavior and ask God [to help you] do what pleases [him], in order that he may completely forgive you for your sins.
Derfor fatter et andet Sind og vender om, for at eders Synder maa blive udslettede, for at Vederkvægelsens Tider maa komme fra Herrens Aasyn,
20 [If you do that], there will be times [when you will know that] the Lord [God is] helping [you]. And some day he will [again] send back [to earth] the Messiah, whom he appointed for you. That person is Jesus.
og han maa sende den for eder bestemte Kristus, Jesus,
21 Jesus must stay in heaven until the time when God will cause all that he has created to become new. Long ago God promised [to do that, and] he chose holy prophets to tell [that to people]. (aiōn g165)
hvem Himmelen skal modtage indtil alle Tings Genoprettelses Tider, hvorom Gud har talt ved sine hellige Profeters Mund fra de ældste Dage. (aiōn g165)
22 For [example, the prophet] Moses said [this about the Messiah]: ‘The Lord (your God/the God whom you [worship]) will cause someone to become a prophet to tell you [God’s message. God will send him] as [he sent] me, [and he will be] from among your own people. You must listen to everything that this prophet tells you [and obey him] [SYN].
Moses sagde: „En Profet skal Herren eders Gud oprejse eder af eders Brødre ligesom mig; ham skulle I høre i alt, hvad han end vil tale til eder.
23 [Those who] do not listen to [that prophet and obey] him will no longer belong to God’s people, and [God] will get rid of them’.”
Men det skal ske, hver Sjæl, som ikke hører den Profet, skal udryddes af Folket.‟
24 [Peter continued], “All the prophets have told [about what would happen during] the time [MTY] [in which we(inc) are living. Those prophets include] Samuel [and all the others who] later also spoke [about these events] before they happened.
Men ogsaa alle Profeterne, fra Samuel af og derefter, saa mange som talte, have ogsaa forkyndt disse Dage.
25 You [as well as we(exc)] are the people [to whom God sent the Messiah, as] the prophets said [MTY] [that he would]. And when God strongly promised [to bless] our ancestors, he also surely promised to bless you. He said to Abraham [concerning the Messiah], ‘[I] will bless all people on the earth as a result of [what] your descendant [will do].’”
I ere Profeternes Sønner og Sønner af den Pagt, som Gud sluttede med vore Fædre, da han sagde til Abraham: „Og i din Sæd skulle alle Jordens Slægter velsignes.‟
26 [Peter concluded], “[So] when God sent [to the earth] (Jesus, the one who always obeys him/his servant Jesus), he sent him first to you [Israelites] to bless you. [God will] enable you to stop doing what is wicked [and to start doing what pleases him].”
For eder først har Gud oprejst sin Tjener og sendt ham for at velsigne eder, naar enhver af eder vender om fra sin Ondskab.‟
