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 gjekk saman upp i templet i bønetimen, den niande timen.
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 ein mann som var vanfør frå mors liv, vart boren fram; og dei sette honom kvar dag ved den tempeldøri som er kalla den fagre, so han kunde beda um sælebotsgåva av deim som gjekk inn i templet.
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!”)
Då han såg Peter og Johannes, som vilde ganga inn i templet, bad han um å få ei sælebotsgåva.
4 As Peter and John looked directly at him, Peter said to him, “Look at us!”
Men Peter feste augo på honom, saman med Johannes, og sagde: «Sjå på oss!»
5 So he looked directly at them, expecting to get some [money] from them.
Han stirde på deim og venta å få noko av deim.
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: «Sylv og gull hev eg ikkje; men det eg hev, det gjev eg deg: i nasaræaren Jesu Kristi namn statt upp og gakk!»
7 Then Peter grasped the man’s right hand and helped him to stand up. Immediately the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
So greip han honom ved høgre handi og reiste honom upp.
8 He jumped up and began to walk! Then he entered the Temple [area] with them, walking and leaping and praising God!
Men straks vart føterne hans og oklo sterke, og han sprang upp og stod og gjekk ikring; og han gjekk med deim inn i templet, gjekk ikring der og sprang og lova Gud.
9 All the people [there] saw that man walking and praising God.
Og alt folket såg honom ganga ikring og lova 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 dei kjende honom, at det var han som hadde sete etter sælebotsgåva ved den fagre tempeldøri. Og dei vart fulle av undring og rædsla yver det som hadde hendt med honom.
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.
Med han heldt seg til Peter og Johannes, strøymde alt folket saman um deim i den sulehalli som er kalla Salomons, og dei var forstøkte.
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!
Då Peter det såg, svara han folket: «Israelitiske menner, kvi undrast de på dette, eller kvi stirer de so på oss, som um me av vår eigi magt eller gudlegdom hadde gjort at han kann ganga?
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, vår fedregud, hev herleggjort sin tenar Jesus, han som de sveik og forneitta for Pilatus, då han dømde at han skulde verta fri.
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 de forneitta den heilage og rettferdige, og bad um at ein mordar måtte verta dykk unnt.
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 livsens hovding slo de i hel, han som Gud reiste upp frå dei daude, som me er vitne til.
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 ved trui på hans namn hev hans namn styrkt denne mannen, som de ser og kjenner; og trui som er verka ved honom, gav denne mannen hans fulle helsa for augo på dykk 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 no, brør, eg veit at de hev gjort det i vankunna, liksom og rådsherrarne dykkar.
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 uppfylte soleis det som han fyreåt sagde gjenom munnen til alle sine profetar, at hans Messias skulde lida.
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.
So gjer då bot og vend um, so synderne dykkar må verta utstrokne, so at hugsvalings tider kann koma frå Herrens åsyn,
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 kann senda den Messias som er utkåra åt dykk, 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)
han som himmelen skal hysa til tidi for atterreisingi av alle ting, som Gud hev tala um gjenom munnen til sine heilage profetar frå gamle dagar. (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].
For Moses hev sagt: «Herren, dykkar Gud, skal reisa upp åt dykk ein profet av dykkar brør liksom eg; honom skal de høyra i alt det som han talar til dykk.
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’.”
Og det skal bera so til, at kvar den sjæl som ikkje høyrer den profeten, skal verta utrudd or 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 ogso alle profetarne frå Samuel og sidan, so mange som hev tala, dei hev og forkynt um desse dagarne.
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].’”
De er born åt profetarne og åt den pakti som Gud gjorde med våre feder, då han sagde til Abraham: «Og i di ætt skal alle ætter på jordi velsignast.»
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].”
De var dei fyrste som Gud sende tenaren sin til, då han let honom koma fram for at han skulde velsigna dykk, med di kvar av dykk vender seg frå sin vondskap.»
