Acts 5
1 But there was one of [the believers] whose name was Ananias, and whose wife’s name was Sapphira. He [also] sold some land.
Men ein mann med namnet Ananias med kona si Saffira selde ein eigedom,
2 He kept for himself some of the money [he had received for the land], and his wife knew that he had done that. Then he brought the rest of the money and presented it to the apostles [MTY].
og han gøymde undan noko av pengeverdet, so kona hans visste det, og bar fram ein deil og lagde det for føterne på apostlarne.
3 Then Peter said, “Ananias, you [(sg)] let Satan completely control you [MTY] so that you [(sg) tried to] deceive the Holy Spirit [and us(exc)]. (That was [terrible!/Why did you do such a terrible thing]?) [RHQ] [You] have kept for yourself some of the money you [(sg)] received for [selling] the land, [pretending that you(sg) were giving us all of it].
Men Peter sagde: «Ananias, kvifor hev Satan fyllt hjarta ditt, so du skulde ljuga for den Heilage Ande og gøyma undan av pengeverdet for jordstykket?
4 Before you [(sg)] sold that land, you truly owned [RHQ] it. And after you sold it, you could [RHQ] certainly still have used the money any way you wanted [to]. So why did you [(sg) ever] think [RHQ] about doing this [wicked] thing? You were not [merely trying to] deceive us! No, [you tried to deceive] God [himself!]!”
Var det ikkje ditt medan du åtte det? og var det ikkje i di magt då det vart selt? Kvi hev du då sett deg denne gjerning fyre i hjarta ditt? Du hev ikkje loge for menneskje, men for Gud.»
5 When Ananias heard that, [immediately] he fell down dead. So all [who were there] who heard [about Ananias’ death] became terrified [PRS].
Men då Ananias høyrde desse ordi, seig han ned og gav upp åndi. Og det kom stor otte på alle deim som høyrde dette.
6 Some young men came in, wrapped his [body in a sheet], and carried it out [and] buried it.
Men dei unge mennerne stod upp og budde liket til og bar honom ut og jorda honom.
7 About three hours later, his wife came in, [but] she did not know what had happened.
Og det hende seg umkring tri timar seinare, då kom kona hans inn og visste ikkje um det som hadde hendt.
8 [As] Peter [showed her the money] that [Ananias had brought], he asked her, “Tell me, is this the amount [of money you two received for] the land you sold?” She said, “Yes, that’s [what we(exc) received].”
Peter sagde då til henne: «Seg du meg, selde de jordstykket for den pris?» Ho svara: «Ja, for den pris.»
9 So Peter said to her, “[You both did a terrible thing!] You two agreed [RHQ] to try to determine if you could do that without the Spirit of the Lord [God] revealing [to anyone that you two tried to deceive them!] Listen! [Do you(sg) hear the] footsteps [SYN] of the men who buried your husband? They are right outside this door, and they will carry your [corpse] out [to bury it, too]!”
Då sagde Peter til henne: «Kvi hev de vorte samtykte um å freista Herrens Ande! Sjå, deira føter som jorda mannen din, er utfyre døri, og dei skal bera deg ut.»
10 Immediately Sapphira fell down dead at Peter’s feet. Then the young men came in. When they saw that she was dead, they carried her [body] out and buried it beside her husband’s [body].
Og ho seig straks ned for føterne hans og gav upp åndi. Men dei unge mennerne kom inn og fann henne daud og bar henne ut og jorda henne attved mannen hennar.
11 So all the believers [in Jerusalem] became greatly frightened [PRS] [because of what God had done to Ananias and Sapphira. And] all [the others] who heard [people tell about] those things also [became greatly frightened].
Og det kom stor otte på heile kyrkjelyden og på alle deim som høyrde dette.
12 [God was enabling] the apostles to do many amazing miracles among the people. All the believers were meeting together regularly [in the temple courtyard] at [the place called] Solomon’s Porch.
Men ved henderne til apostlarne vart det gjort mange teikn og under millom folket, og dei var alle samstendige i Salomons sulehall.
13 All of the other people [who had not yet believed in Jesus] were afraid to associate with the believers, [because they knew that if they did anything evil, God would punish them, as well as revealing it to the believers]. However, those people continued to greatly respect the believers.
Men av dei andre våga ingen å slå lag med deim; men folket høgvyrde deim;
14 Many more men and women started believing in the Lord [Jesus], and they joined the [group of] believers.
og enn fleire som trudde, vart lagde til Herren, ei mengd både av menner og kvinnor,
15 [The apostles were doing amazing miracles], so [people] were bringing those who were sick into the streets, and laying them on stretchers and mats, in order that [when] Peter came by [he would touch them, or] at least his shadow might fall upon some of them [and heal them].
so dei jamvel bar dei sjuke ut på gatorne og lagde deim på sengjer og benkjer, so i det minste skuggen av Peter kunde yverskyggja nokon av deim, når han kom.
16 Crowds of people were also coming [to the apostles] from the towns near Jerusalem. They were bringing their sick [relatives/friends] and those who were being tormented/troubled by evil spirits {whom evil spirits were tormenting/troubling}, and [God] healed all of them.
Ja, endå frå byarne der i kring kom ei mengd saman til Jerusalem og førde sjuke med, og folk som var plåga av ureine ånder; og dei vart alle lækte.
17 Then the high priest and all who were with him, who were members of the [local] Sadducee [sect in Jerusalem], became very jealous [of the apostles, because many people were accepting the apostles’ message].
Men øvstepresten stod upp og alle dei som heldt med honom, det var sadducæarflokken, og dei vart fulle av brennhug,
18 So they commanded the Temple guards to seize the apostles and put them in the public jail.
og dei lagde hand på apostlarne og kasta deim i det ålmenne fengslet.
19 [The guards did that], but during the night an angel from the Lord [God] opened the jail doors and brought the apostles outside! [The guards were not aware of what the angel had done].
Men Herren engel opna um natti dørerne til fengslet og førde deim ut og sagde:
20 Then the angel said [to the apostles], “Go to the Temple [courtyard], stand there, and tell the people all about [how God can give them eternal] life!”
«Gakk og stig fram og tala i templet alle dette livs ord til folket!»
21 So having heard this, about dawn they entered the Temple [courtyard] and began to teach the people again [about Jesus]. Acts 5:21b-24 Meanwhile, the high priest and those who were with him summoned the other Jewish Council members. Altogether they made up the entire Council of Israel. [After they all gathered together], they sent [guards] to the jail to bring in the apostles.
Då dei høyrde det, gjekk dei i dagningi inn i templet og lærde. Då so øvstepresten kom og dei som var med honom, kalla dei saman rådet og alle styresmennerne for Israels born, og dei sende bod til fengslet, at dei skulde føra deim fram.
22 But when the guards arrived at the jail, they discovered that the apostles were not there. So they returned to the Council, and [one of] them reported,
Men då tenarane kom der, fann dei deim ikkje i fengslet, og so vende dei um att og fortalde det og sagde:
23 “We [(exc)] saw that the jail [doors] were very securely locked, and the guards were standing at the doors. But when we opened [the doors and went in to get those men], none [of them was] inside [the jail]!”
«Fengslet fann me stengt med all umsyn, og vakterne stod ved dørerne. Men då me let upp, fann me ingen der inne.»
24 When the captain of the temple guards and the chief priests heard that, they became greatly perplexed, [wondering] what might result from all this.
Då hovudsmannen for tempelvakti og øvsteprestarne høyrde dei ordi, vart dei rådville um deim, kva dette skulde verta til.
25 Then someone came [from the Temple courtyard] and [excitedly] reported to them, “Listen [to this! Right now] the men whom you put in jail are standing in the Temple [courtyard] and they are teaching the people [about Jesus]!”
So kom det ein og fortalde deim og sagde: «Sjå, dei mennerne som de kasta i fengsel, dei stend i templet og lærer folket.»
26 So the captain [of the Temple guards] went [to the Temple courtyard] with the officers, and they brought the apostles [back to the Council room. But they] did not treat them roughly, because they were afraid that the people would [kill them by] throwing stones at them [if they hurt the apostles].
Då gjekk hovudsmannen dit med tenarane og henta deim, men ikkje med magt; for dei var rædde for folket, at dei skulde verta steina.
27 After [the captain and his officers] had brought [the apostles to the Council room], they commanded them to stand in front of the Council members, and the high priest questioned them.
Men då dei hadde henta deim, stelte dei deim for rådet. Og øvstepresten spurde deim og sagde:
28 He said to them [accusingly], “We [(exc)] strongly commanded you not to teach people about that man [MTY] [Jesus] But [you have disobeyed us, and] you have taught people all over Jerusalem [about him]! Furthermore, you are trying to make it seem that we [(exc)] are the ones who are guilty [MTY] for that man’s death!”
«Baud me dykk ikkje strengt, at de ikkje skulde læra i dette namnet? og sjå, de hev fyllt Jerusalem med læra dykkar, og de vil føra yver oss denne manns blod.»
29 But Peter, [speaking for himself] and the other apostles, replied, “We [(exc)] have to obey [what] God [commands us to do], not what [you] people [tell us to do]!
Då svara Peter og apostlarne og sagde: «Ein skal lyda Gud meir enn menneskje.
30 God considers that you are the ones who killed Jesus by nailing him to a cross! But God, whom our ancestors [worshipped], (caused Jesus to become alive again after he died/raised Jesus from the dead).
Vår fedregud reiste upp Jesus som de tok livet av då de hengde honom på eit tre.
31 God has greatly honored Jesus. [He has taken him up to heaven! He has authorized him] to be the one who will save us and to rule [over our lives! God did this] so that he might enable [us] Israelites [MTY] to turn away from [our] sinful behavior and [that he might] forgive [us for our sins].
Denne hev Gud lyft upp ved si høgre hand til ein fyrste og frelsar til å gjeva Israel umvending og forlating for synderne.
32 We [(exc)] tell people about these things [that we know happened to Jesus], and the Holy Spirit, whom God has sent to [us] who obey him, is also confirming [that these things are true].”
Og me er hans vitne um desse ting liksom og den Heilage Ande, som Gud hev gjeve deim som lyder honom.»
33 When the Council members heard those words, they became very angry [with the apostles], and they wanted to kill them.
Då dei høyrde dette, skar det deim i hjarta, og dei rådlagde um å slå deim i hel.
34 But [there was a Council member] named Gamaliel. He was a Pharisee, and one who taught people the [Jewish] laws, and all the [Jewish] people respected him. He stood up in the Council and told [guards] to take the apostles out [of the room] for a short time.
Men det reiste seg ein farisæar i rådet med namnet Gamaliel, ein lovlærar som var høgvyrd av heile folket, og han baud deim føra apostlarne ut ei liti stund.
35 [After the guards had taken the apostles out], he said to the other Council members, “Fellow Israelites, you need to think carefully about what you are about to do to these men, [and I will tell you why].
Og han sagde til deim: «Israelitiske menner! Sjå dykk vel fyre, kva de gjer med desse menneskje!
36 Some years ago [a man named] Theudas rebelled [against the Roman government]. He told people that he was an important person, and about 400 men joined [him. But he was killed] {[soldiers] killed him} and all those who had been accompanying him were scattered. [So they] were not able to do anything [that they had planned].
For fyre desse dagar stod Teudas fram og sagde seg sjølv å vera noko, og ein flokk på umkring fire hundrad menner slo lag med honom; han vart slegen i hel, og alle dei som lydde honom, drivne frå kvarandre og vart til inkjes.
37 After that, during the time when they were (writing down names of the people/taking the census) [in order to tax people, a man named] Judas from Galilee [province] rebelled [against the Roman government]. He persuaded some people to accompany him. But [soldiers] killed him, too, and all those who had accompanied him went off in different directions.
Etter honom stod galilæaren Judas fram, den tid skatte-utskrivingi var, og eggja upp folket med seg. Han let og livet, og alle dei som lydde honom, vart spreidde frå kvarandre.
38 So now I say [this] to you: Do not harm these men! Release them! I say this because if [this is just something] that humans have planned, they will not be able to do it. They will fail, [like Theudas and Judas did]
Og no segjer eg dykk: Haldt dykk ifrå desse mennerne og lat deim fara! For er denne rådi eller dette verket av menneskje, skal det verta til inkjes.
39 But, if God [has commanded them to do it], you will not be able to prevent them [from doing it, because] you will find out that you are opposing God!” The other members of the Council accepted what Gamaliel said.
Men er det av Gud, so kann de ikkje gjera det til inkjes! Sjå til at de ikkje må verta funne stridande mot Gud.»
40 They told the [temple guards to bring the apostles and flog them. So the guards] brought them [into the Council room] and flogged them. Then the Council members commanded them not to speak to people about [MTY] Jesus, and they released the apostles.
Dei lydde honom, og kalla apostlarne inn att og let deim verta hudfletta, og baud deim at dei ikkje skulde tala i Jesu namn, og let deim so ganga.
41 So the apostles left the Council. They were rejoicing, because [they knew God] had honored them [by letting people] disgrace them because they were followers [MTY] of Jesus.
So gjekk dei då burt frå rådet, glade yver at dei var haldne verdige til å lida vanæra for hans namn skuld.
42 And every day [the apostles went to] the temple [area] and to various [people’s] houses, [and] they continued [LIT] teaching [people] and telling [them] that Jesus is the Messiah.
Og dei heldt ikkje upp med å læra kvar dag i templet og heime og forkynna evangeliet um Kristus Jesus.
