Acts 18
1 After these things Paul left Athens and went to Corinth.
Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth.
2 There he met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. Paul went to them,
Der traf han en Jøde ved Navn Akvila, født i Pontus, som nylig var kommen fra Italien med sin Hustru Priskilla, fordi Klaudius havde befalet, at alle Jøderne skulde forlade Rom. Til disse gik han.
3 and because he worked at the same trade, he stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.
Og efterdi han øvede det samme Haandværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Haandværk.
4 So Paul reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath. He persuaded both Jews and Greeks.
Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen paa hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
5 But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit to testify to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.
Men da Silas og Timotheus kom ned fra Makedonien, var Paulus helt optagen af at tale og vidnede for Jøderne, at Jesus er Kristus.
6 When the Jews opposed and insulted him, Paul shook out his garment at them and said to them, “May your blood be upon your own heads; I am innocent. From now on I will go to the Gentiles.”
Men da de stode imod og spottede, rystede han Støvet af sine Klæder og sagde til dem: „Eders Blod komme over eders Hoved! Jeg er ren; herefter vil jeg gaa til Hedningerne.‟
7 Then he left from there and went to the house of Titius Justus, a man who worshiped God. His house was next to the synagogue.
Og han gik bort derfra og gik ind til en Mand ved Navn Justus, som frygtede Gud, og hvis Hus laa ved Siden af Synagogen.
8 Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, together with all those who lived in his house; and many of the Corinthians who heard about it believed and were baptized.
Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede paa Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.
9 The Lord said to Paul in the night in a vision, “Do not be afraid, but speak and do not be silent.
Men Herren sagde til Paulus i et Syn om Natten: „Frygt ikke, men tal og ti ikke,
10 For I am with you, and no one will try to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Haand paa dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By.‟
11 Paul lived there for a year and six months, teaching the word of God among them.
Og han slog sig ned der et Aar og seks Maaneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
12 But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, the Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat;
Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
13 they said, “This man persuades people to worship God contrary to the law.”
„Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven.‟
14 Yet when Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, “You Jews, if indeed it were a matter of wrong or a crime, it would be reasonable to deal with you.
Og da Paulus vilde oplade Munden, sagde Gallio til Jøderne: „Dersom det var nogen Uret eller Misgerning, I Jøder! vilde jeg, som billigt var, taalmodigt høre paa eder.
15 But since these are questions about words and names and your own law, settle it yourselves. I do not wish to be a judge of these matters.”
Men er det Stridsspørgsmaal om Lære og Navne og om den Lov, som I have, da ser selv dertil; thi jeg vil ikke være Dommer over disse Ting.‟
16 Gallio made them leave the judgment seat.
Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
17 So they all seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio did not care what they did.
Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
18 Paul, after staying there for many more days, left the brothers and sailed for Syria with Priscilla and Aquila. Before he left the seaport, Cenchrea, he had his hair cut off because of a vow he had taken.
Men Paulus blev der endnu i mange Dage; derefter tog han Afsked med Brødrene og sejlede bort til Syrien og med ham Priskilla og Akvila, efter at han havde ladet sit Haar klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte paa sig.
19 When they came to Ephesus, Paul left Priscilla and Aquila there, but he himself went into the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
Men de kom til Efesus; og der lod han hine blive tilbage; men han selv gik ind i Synagogen og samtalede med Jøderne.
20 When they asked Paul to stay a longer time, he declined.
Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;
21 But taking his leave of them, he said, “I will return again to you if it is God's will.” He then set sail from Ephesus.
men han tog Afsked og sagde: „[Jeg maa endelig holde denne forestaaende Højtid i Jerusalem; men] jeg vil atter vende tilbage til eder, om Gud vil.‟ Og han sejlede ud fra Efesus
22 When Paul had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the Jerusalem church and then went down to Antioch.
og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste paa Menigheden og drog saa ned til Antiokia.
23 After having spent some time there, Paul departed and went through the regions of Galatia and Phrygia and strengthened all the disciples.
Og da han havde opholdt sig der nogen Tid, drog han bort og rejste fra Sted til Sted igennem det galatiske Land og Frygien og styrkede alle Disciplene.
24 Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, came to Ephesus. He was eloquent in speech and mighty in the scriptures.
Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.
25 Apollos had been instructed in the teachings of the Lord. Being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, but he knew only the baptism of John.
Denne var undervist om Herrens Vej, og brændende i Aanden talte og lærte han grundigt om Jesus, skønt han kun kendte Johannes's Daab.
26 Apollos began to speak boldly in the synagogue. But when Priscilla and Aquila heard him, they took him aside and explained to him the way of God more accurately.
Og han begyndte at tale frimodigt i Synagogen. Men da Priskilla og Akvila hørte ham, toge de ham til sig og udlagde ham Guds Vej nøjere.
27 When he desired to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him and wrote to the disciples in Achaia to welcome him. When he arrived, he greatly helped those who believed by grace.
Men da han vilde rejse videre til Akaja, skrev Brødrene til Disciplene og opmuntrede dem til at tage imod ham. Da han var kommen derhen, var han ved Guds Naade de troende til megen Nytte;
28 Apollos powerfully refuted the Jews in public debate, showing by the scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
