Acts 21
1 And it came to pass, that after we were separated from them, and had launched, we came with a straight course to Coos, and the day following to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:
Men da vi havde revet os løs fra dem og vare afsejlede, droge vi lige til Kos, og den næste Dag til Rodus og derfra til Patara.
2 And finding a ship sailing over to Phenicia, we went aboard, and set forth.
Og da vi fandt et Skib, som skulde gaa lige til Fønikien, gik vi om Bord og afsejlede.
3 Now when we had come in sight of Cyprus, we left it on the left hand, and sailed into Syria, and landed at Tyre: for there the ship was to unload her cargo.
Men da vi havde faaet Kypern i Sigte og vare komne den forbi til venstre for os, sejlede vi til Syrien og landede i Tyrus; thi der skulde Skibet losse sin Ladning.
4 And finding disciples, we tarried there seven days: who said to Paul through the Spirit, that he should not go up to Jerusalem.
Og vi opsøgte Disciplene og bleve der syv Dage; disse sagde ved Aanden til Paulus, at han ikke skulde drage op til Jerusalem.
5 And when we had come to the end of those days, we departed and went on our way; and they all accompanied us on our way, with wives and children, till we were out of the city: and we kneeled down on the shore, and prayed.
Men da vi havde tilendebragt disse Dage, droge vi derfra og rejste videre, idet de alle, med Hustruer og Børn, ledsagede os uden for Byen; og efter at have knælet paa Strandbredden og holdt Bøn
6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, we took ship; and they returned home again.
toge vi Afsked med hverandre; og vi gik om Bord i Skibet, men de vendte tilbage til deres Hjem.
7 And when we had finished our course from Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and greeted the brethren, and abode with them one day.
Men vi fuldendte Sejladsen og kom fra Tyrus til Ptolemais, og vi hilste paa Brødrene og bleve een Dag hos dem.
8 And the next day we that were of Paul’s company departed, and came to Caesarea: and we entered into the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven; and abode with him.
Og den følgende Dag droge vi derfra og kom til Kæsarea, og vi gik ind i Evangelisten Filips Hus, han, som var en af de syv, og bleve hos ham.
9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, who prophesied.
Men denne havde fire ugifte Døtre, som profeterede.
10 And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus.
Men da vi bleve der flere Dage, kom der en Profet ned fra Judæa ved Navn Agabus.
11 And when he had come to us, he took Paul’s belt, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Spirit, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this belt, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.
Og han kom til os og tog Paulus's Bælte og bandt sine egne Fødder og Hænder og sagde: „Dette siger den Helligaand: Den Mand, hvem dette Bælte tilhører, skulle Jøderne binde saaledes i Jerusalem og overgive i Hedningers Hænder.‟
12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.
Men da vi hørte dette, bade saavel vi som de der paa Stedet ham om ikke at drage op til Jerusalem.
13 Then Paul answered, What mean ye to weep and to break my heart? for I am ready not to be bound only, but also to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.
Da svarede Paulus: „Hvad gøre I, at I græde og gøre mit Hjerte modløst? thi jeg er rede til ikke alene at bindes, men ogsaa at dø i Jerusalem for den Herres Jesu Navns Skyld.‟
14 And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done.
Da han nu ikke vilde lade sig overtale, bleve vi stille og sagde: „Herrens Villie ske!‟
15 And after those days we got ready, and went up to Jerusalem.
Men efter disse Dage gjorde vi os rede og droge op til Jerusalem.
16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an early disciple, with whom we should lodge.
Og ogsaa nogle af Disciplene fra Kæsarea rejste med os og bragte os til Mnason, en Mand fra Kypern, en gammel Discipel, hos hvem vi skulde have Herberge.
17 And when we had come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly.
Da vi nu kom til Jerusalem, modtoge Brødrene os med Glæde.
18 And the day following Paul went in with us to James; and all the elders were present.
Og Dagen efter gik Paulus ind med os til Jakob, og alle de Ældste kom derhen.
19 And when he had greeted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry.
Og da han havde hilst paa dem, fortalte han Stykke for Stykke, hvad Gud havde gjort iblandt Hedningerne ved hans Tjeneste.
20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said to him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are who believe; and they are all zealous of the law:
Men da de hørte dette, priste de Gud, og de sagde til ham: „Broder! du ser, hvor mange Tusinder der er af Jøderne, som have antaget Troen, og de ere alle nidkære for Loven.
21 And they are informed concerning thee, that thou teachest all the Jews who are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs.
Men de have hørt om dig, at du lærer alle Jøderne ude iblandt Hedningerne at falde fra Moses og siger, at de ikke skulle omskære Børnene, ej heller vandre efter Skikkene.
22 What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come.
Hvad er der da at gøre? Der maa sikkert komme mange Mennesker sammen; thi de ville faa at høre, at du er kommen.
23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men who have a vow on them;
Gør derfor dette, som vi sige dig: Vi have her fire Mænd, som have et Løfte paa sig.
24 Take them and purify thyself with them, and pay their expenses that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, of which they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law.
Tag dem med dig, og rens dig sammen med dem, og gør Omkostningen for dem, for at de kunne lade deres Hoved rage; saa ville alle erkende, at det, som de have hørt om dig, ikke har noget paa sig, men at du ogsaa selv vandrer saaledes, at du holder Loven.
25 As concerning the Gentiles who believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, except that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from immorality.
Men om de Hedninger, som ere blevne troende, have vi udsendt en Skrivelse med den Afgørelse, at de intet saadant skulle holde, men kun vogte sig for Afgudsofferkød og Blod og det kvalte og Utugt.‟
26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until an offering should be offered for every one of them.
Da tog Paulus Mændene med sig næste Dag, og efter at have renset sig sammen med dem gik han ind i Helligdommen og anmeldte Renselsesdagenes Udløb, da Offeret blev bragt for hver enkelt af dem.
27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews who were from Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him,
Men da de syv Dage næsten vare til Ende, satte Jøderne fra Asien, som havde set ham i Helligdommen, hele Mængden i Oprør og lagde Haand paa ham
28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further hath brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place.
og raabte: „I israelitiske Mænd, kommer til Hjælp! Denne er det Menneske, som alle Vegne lærer alle imod Folket og Loven og dette Sted; og tilmed har han ogsaa ført Grækere ind i Helligdommen og gjort dette hellige Sted urent; ‟
29 For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.)
de havde nemlig i Forvejen set Efesieren Trofimus i Staden sammen med ham, og ham mente de, at Paulus havde ført ind i Helligdommen.
30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and immediately the doors were shut.
Og hele Staden kom i Bevægelse, og Folket stimlede sammen; og de grebe Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Helligdommen, og straks bleve Dørene lukkede.
31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came to the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar.
Og da de søgte at slaa ham ihjel, gik der Melding op til Krigsøversten for Vagtafdelingen, at hele Jerusalem var i Oprør.
32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down to them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Han tog straks Stridsmænd og Høvedsmænd med sig og ilede ned imod dem. Men da de saa Krigsøversten og Stridsmændene, holdt de op at slaa Paulus.
33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done.
Da traadte Krigsøversten til, greb ham og befalede, at han skulde bindes med to Lænker, og han spurgte, hvem han var, og hvad han havde gjort.
34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the barracks.
Da raabte nogle i Skaren eet, andre et andet til ham; men da han ikke kunde faa noget paalideligt at vide paa Grund af Larmen, befalede han at føre ham ind i Borgen.
35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne by the soldiers for the violence of the people.
Men da han kom paa Trappen, gik det saaledes, at han maatte bæres af Stridsmændene paa Grund af Skarens Voldsomhed;
36 For the multitude of the people followed, crying, Away with him.
thi Folkemængden fulgte efter og raabte: „Bort med ham!‟
37 And as Paul was to be led into the barracks, he said to the chief captain, May I speak to thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
Og da Paulus var ved at blive ført ind i Borgen, siger han til Krigsøversten: „Er det mig tilladt at sige noget til dig?‟ Men han sagde: „Forstaar du Græsk?
38 Art not thou that Egyptian, who before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
Er du da ikke den Ægypter, som for nogen Tid siden gjorde Oprør og førte de fire Tusinde Stimænd ud i Ørkenen?‟
39 But Paul said, I am a man who is a Jew of Tarsus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, permit me to speak to the people.
Men Paulus sagde: „Jeg er en jødisk Mand fra Tarsus, Borger i en ikke ubekendt By i Kilikien. Men jeg beder dig, tilsted mig at tale til Folket!‟
40 And when he had given him permission, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand to the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spoke to them in the Hebrew language, saying,
Og da han tilstedte det, stod Paulus frem paa Trappen og slog til Lyd med Haanden for Folket. Men da der var blevet dyb Tavshed, tiltalte han dem i det hebraiske Sprog og sagde:
