Acts 1
1 The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that Jesus began both to do and teach,
Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte baade at gøre og lære,
2 Until the day when he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles whom he had chosen:
indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligaand;
3 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen by them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God:
for hvem han ogsaa, efter at han havde lidt, fremstillede sig levende ved mange Beviser, idet han viste sig for dem i fyrretyve Dage og talte om de Ting, der høre til Guds Rige.
4 And, being assembled with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard from me.
Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke maatte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, „hvorom, ‟ sagde han, „I have hørt af mig.
5 For John truly baptized in water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days from now.
Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligaand om ikke mange Dage.‟
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: „Herre! opretter du paa denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?‟
7 And he said to them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
Men han sagde til dem: „Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
8 But ye shall receive power, after the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and to the uttermost part of the earth.
Men I skulle faa Kraft, naar den Helligaand kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner baade i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende.‟
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de saa derpaa, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
11 Who also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up to heaven? this same Jesus, who is taken from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
og de sagde: „I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor staa I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen paa samme Maade, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen.‟
12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day’s journey.
Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
13 And when they had come in, they went into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Og da de kom derind, gik de op paa den Sal, hvor de plejede at opholde sig, Peter og Johannes og Jakob og Andreas, Filip og Thomas, Bartholomæus og Matthæus, Jakob Alfæus's Søn og Simon Zelotes, og Judas, Jakobs Søn.
14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
15 And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of the names together were about an hundred and twenty, )
Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde, (og der var en Skare samlet paa omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
16 Men, brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit by the mouth of David spoke before concerning Judas, who was guide to them that took Jesus.
„I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligaand forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry.
thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde faaet denne Tjenestes Lod.
18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out.
Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
19 And it was known to all the dwellers at Jerusalem; therefore that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood.
hvilket ogsaa er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, saa at den Ager kaldes paa deres eget Maal Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
20 For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell in it: and his office let another take.
Thi der er skrevet i Psalmernes Bog: „Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den, ‟ og: „Lad en anden faa hans Tilsynsgerning.‟
21 Therefore of these men who accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
Derfor bør en af de Mænd, som vare sammen med os i hele den Tid, da den Herre Jesus gik ind og gik ud hos os,
22 Beginning from the baptism of John, to that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection.
lige fra Johannes's Daab indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse.‟
23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias.
Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, who knowest the hearts of all men, show which of these two thou hast chosen,
Og de bade og sagde: „Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.
til at faa denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gaa hen til sit eget Sted.‟
26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt paa Matthias, og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
