Acts 13
1 Now in the church in Antioch, there were some prophets and teachers. They were Barnabas, Simeon (who is called Niger), Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen (the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch), and Saul.
Men i Antiokia, i den derværende Menighed, var der Profeter og Lærere, nemlig Barnabas og Simeon, med Tilnavn Niger, og Kyrenæeren Lukius og Manaen, en Fosterbroder af Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, og Saulus.
2 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul, to do the work to which I have called them.”
Medens de nu holdt Gudstjeneste og fastede, sagde den Helligaand: „Udtager mig Barnabas og Saulus til den Gerning, hvortil jeg har kaldet dem.‟
3 After they had fasted, prayed, and laid their hands on these men, they sent them off.
Da fastede de og bade og lagde Hænderne paa dem og lode dem fare.
4 So Barnabas and Saul obeyed the Holy Spirit and went down to Seleucia; from there they sailed to the island of Cyprus.
Da de nu saaledes vare udsendte af den Helligaand, droge de ned til Seleukia og sejlede derfra til Kypern.
5 When they were in the city of Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John Mark as their assistant.
Og da de vare komne til Salamis, forkyndte de Guds Ord i Jødernes Synagoger; men de havde ogsaa Johannes til Medhjælper.
6 When they had gone through the whole island to Paphos, they found a certain magician, a Jewish false prophet, whose name was Bar Jesus.
Og da de vare dragne igennem hele Øen indtil Pafus, fandt de en Troldkarl, en falsk Profet, en Jøde, hvis Navn var Barjesus.
7 This magician associated with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, who was an intelligent man. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, because he wanted to hear the word of God.
Han var hos Statholderen Sergius Paulus, en forstandig Mand. Denne kaldte Barnabas og Saulus til sig og attraaede at høre Guds Ord.
8 But Elymas “the magician” (that is how his name is translated) opposed them; he tried to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
Men Elimas, Troldkarlen, (thi dette betyder hans Navn), stod dem imod og søgte at vende Statholderen bort fra Troen.
9 But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, stared at him intensely.
Men Saulus, som ogsaa kaldes Paulus, blev fyldt med den Helligaand, saa fast paa ham og sagde:
10 and said, “You son of the devil, you are full of all kinds of deceit and wickedness. You are an enemy of every kind of righteousness. You will never stop twisting the straight paths of the Lord, will you?
„O, du Djævelens Barn, fuld af al Svig og al Underfundighed, du Fjende af al Retfærdighed! vil du ikke holde op med at forvende Herrens de lige Veje?
11 Now look, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will become blind. You will not see the sun for a while.” Immediately there fell on Elymas a mist and darkness; he started going around asking people to lead him by the hand.
Og nu se, Herrens Haand er over dig, og du skal blive blind og til en Tid ikke se Solen.‟ Men straks faldt der Mulm og Mørke over ham, og han gik omkring og søgte efter nogen, som kunde lede ham.
12 After the proconsul saw what had happened, he believed, because he was astonished at the teaching about the Lord.
Da Statholderen saa det, som var sket, troede han, slagen af Forundring over Herrens Lære.
13 Now Paul and his friends set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. But John left them and returned to Jerusalem.
Paulus og de, som vare med ham, sejlede da ud fra Pafus og kom til Perge i Pamfylien. Men Johannes skiltes fra dem og vendte tilbage til Jerusalem.
14 Paul and his friends traveled from Perga and came to Antioch of Pisidia. There they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
Men de droge videre fra Perge og kom til Antiokia i Pisidien og gik ind i Synagogen paa Sabbatsdagen og satte sig.
15 After the reading of the law and the prophets, the leaders of the synagogue sent them a message saying, “Brothers, if you have any message of encouragement for the people here, say it.”
Men efter Forelæsningen af Loven og Profeterne sendte Synagogeforstanderne Bud hen til dem og lode sige: „I Mænd, Brødre! have I noget Formaningsord til Folket, da siger frem!‟
16 So Paul stood up and motioned with his hand; he said, “Men of Israel and you who honor God, listen.
Men Paulus stod op og slog til Lyd med Haanden og sagde: „I israelitiske Mænd og I, som frygte Gud, hører til!
17 The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people numerous when they stayed in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm he led them out of it.
Dette Folks, Israels Gud udvalgte vore Fædre og ophøjede Folket i Udlændigheden i Ægyptens Land og førte dem derfra med løftet Arm.
18 For about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
Og omtrent fyrretyve Aar taalte han deres Færd i Ørkenen.
19 After he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave our people their land for an inheritance.
Og han udryddede syv Folk i Kanaans Land og fordelte disses Land iblandt dem,
20 All these events took place over four hundred and fifty years. After all these things, God gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
og derefter i omtrent fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Aar gav han dem Dommere indtil Profeten Samuel.
21 Then the people asked for a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man from the tribe of Benjamin, to be king for forty years.
Og derefter bade de om en Konge; og Gud gav dem Saul, Kis's Søn, en Mand af Benjamins Stamme, i fyrretyve Aar.
22 After God removed him from the kingship, he raised up David to be their king. It was about David that God said, 'I have found David son of Jesse to be a man after my heart, who does all I want him to do.'
Og da han havde taget ham bort, oprejste han dem David til Konge, om hvem han ogsaa vidnede, og sagde: „Jeg har fundet David, Isajs Søn, en Mand efter mit Hjerte, som skal gøre al min Villie.‟
23 From this man's descendants God has brought to Israel a savior, Jesus, as he promised to do.
Af dennes Sæd bragte Gud efter Forjættelsen Israel en Frelser, Jesus,
24 This began to happen when, before Jesus came, John first announced the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
efter at Johannes forud for hans Fremtræden havde prædiket Omvendelses-Daab for hele Israels Folk.
25 As John was finishing his work, he said, 'Who do you think I am? I am not the one. But listen, one is coming after me, the shoes of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'
Men da Johannes var ved at fuldende sit Løb, sagde han: „Hvad anse I mig for at være? Mig er det ikke; men se, der kommer en efter mig, hvis Sko jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
26 Brothers, children of the line of Abraham, and those among you who worship God, it is to us that the message about this salvation has been sent.
I Mænd, Brødre, Sønner af Abrahams Slægt, og de iblandt eder, som frygte Gud! Til os er Ordet om denne Frelse sendt.
27 For they who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, did not recognize him, and they fulfilled sayings of the prophets that are read every Sabbath by condemning him.
Thi de, som bo i Jerusalem, og deres Raadsherrer kendte ham ikke; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved Profeternes Ord, som forelæses hver Sabbat.
28 Even though they found no good cause for death in him, they asked Pilate to kill him.
Og om end de ingen Dødsskyld fandt hos ham, bade de dog Pilatus, at han maatte blive slaaet ihjel.
29 When they had completed all the things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
Men da de havde fuldbragt alle Ting, som ere skrevne om ham, toge de ham ned af Træet og lagde ham i en Grav.
30 But God raised him from the dead.
Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,
31 He was seen for many days by those who had come up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. These people are now his witnesses to the people.
og han blev set i flere Dage af dem, som vare gaaede med ham op fra Galilæa til Jerusalem, dem, som nu ere hans Vidner for Folket.
32 So we are telling you the good news that what God promised to our fathers
Og vi forkynde eder den Forjættelse, som blev given til Fædrene, at Gud har opfyldt denne for os, deres Børn, idet han oprejste Jesus;
33 he has fulfilled for us, their children, by raising up Jesus. As it is written in the second Psalm: 'You are my Son, today I have become your Father.'
som der ogsaa er skrevet i den anden Psalme: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag.‟
34 The fact that he raised him up from the dead so that his body would never decay, God has spoken in this way: 'I will give you the holy and sure blessings promised to David.'
Men at han har oprejst ham fra de døde, saa at han ikke mere skal vende tilbage til Forraadnelse, derom har han sagt saaledes: „Jeg vil give eder Davids hellige Forjættelser, de trofaste.‟
35 This is why he also says in another Psalm, 'You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.'
Thi han siger ogsaa i en anden Psalme: „Du skal ikke tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse.‟
36 For when David had served the desires of God in his own generation, he fell asleep; he was laid with his fathers and his body experienced decay.
David sov jo hen, da han i sin Livstid havde tjent Guds Raadslutning, og han blev henlagt hos sine Fædre og saa Forraadnelse;
37 But he whom God raised up experienced no decay.
men den, som Gud oprejste, saa ikke Forraadnelse.
38 So let it be known to you, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you forgiveness of sins.
Saa være det eder vitterligt, I Mænd, Brødre! at ved ham forkyndes der eder Syndernes Forladelse;
39 By him every one who believes is justified from all the things which the law of Moses could not justify you.
og fra alt, hvorfra I ikke kunde retfærdiggøres ved Mose Lov, retfærdiggøres ved ham enhver, som tror.
40 So then be careful that the thing the prophets spoke about does not happen to you:
Ser nu til, at ikke det, som er sagt ved Profeterne, kommer over eder:
41 'Look, you despisers, and be astonished and then perish; For I am doing a work in your days, A work that you shall never believe, even if someone announces it to you.'”
„Ser, I Foragtere, og forundrer eder og bliver til intet; thi en Gerning gør jeg i eders Dage, en Gerning, som I ikke vilde tro, dersom nogen fortalte eder den.‟
42 As Paul and Barnabas left, the people begged them that they might speak these same words again the next Sabbath.
Men da de gik ud, bad man dem om, at disse Ord maatte blive talte til dem paa den følgende Sabbat.
43 When the synagogue meeting ended, many of the Jews and devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who spoke to them and urged them to continue in the grace of God.
Men da Forsamlingen var opløst, fulgte mange af Jøderne og af de gudfrygtige Proselyter Paulus og Barnabas, som talte til dem og formanede dem til at blive fast ved Guds Naade.
44 On the next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of the Lord.
Men paa den følgende Sabbat forsamledes næsten hele Byen for at høre Guds Ord.
45 When the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and spoke against the things that were said by Paul and insulted him.
Men da Jøderne saa Skarerne, bleve de fulde af Nidkærhed og modsagde det, som blev talt af Paulus, ja, baade sagde imod og spottede.
46 But Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly and said, “It was necessary that the word of God should first be spoken to you. Seeing you push it away from yourselves and consider yourselves unworthy of eternal life, see, we will turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
Men Paulus og Barnabas talte frit ud og sagde: „Det var nødvendigt, at Guds Ord først skulde tales til eder; men efterdi I støde det fra eder og ikke agte eder selv værdige til det evige Liv, se, saa vende vi os til Hedningerne. (aiōnios g166)
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, 'I have placed you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.'”
Thi saaledes har Herren befalet os: „Jeg har sat dig til Hedningers Lys, for at du skal være til Frelse lige ud til Jordens Ende.‟
48 As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and praised the word of the Lord. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
Men da Hedningerne hørte dette, bleve de glade og priste Herrens Ord, og de troede, saa mange, som vare bestemte til evigt Liv, (aiōnios g166)
49 The word of the Lord was spread out through the whole region.
og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.
50 But the Jews urged on the devout and important women, as well as the leading men of the city. These stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas and threw them out beyond the border of their city.
Men Jøderne ophidsede de fornemme gudfrygtige Kvinder og de første Mænd i Byen; og de vakte en Forfølgelse imod Paulus og Barnabas og joge dem ud fra deres Grænser.
51 But Paul and Barnabas shook off the dust from their feet against them. Then they went to the city of Iconium.
Men de rystede Støvet af deres Fødder imod dem og droge til Ikonium.
52 And the disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligaand.
