Acts 18
1 After this he left Athens and came to Corinth.
Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth.
2 Here he found a Jew, a native of Pontus, of the name of Aquila. He and his wife Priscilla had recently come from Italy because of Claudius's edict expelling all the Jews from Rome. So Paul paid them a visit;
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 was of the same trade--that of tent-maker--he lodged with them and worked with them.
Og efterdi han øvede det samme Haandværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Haandværk.
4 But, Sabbath after Sabbath, he preached in the synagogue and tried to win over both Jews and Greeks.
Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen paa hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
5 Now at the time when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was preaching fervently and was solemnly telling the Jews that Jesus is 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 But upon their opposing him with abusive language, he shook his clothes by way of protest, and said to them, "Your ruin will be upon your own heads. I am not responsible: in future I will go among 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 So he left the place and went to the house of a person called Titius Justus, a worshipper of the true God. His house was next door 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 And Crispus, the Warden of the synagogue, believed in the Lord, and so did all his household; and from time to time many of the Corinthians who heard Paul believed and received baptism.
Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede paa Herren tillige med hele sit Hus, og mange af Korinthierne, som hørte til, troede og bleve døbte.
9 And, in a vision by night, the Lord said to Paul, "Dismiss your fears: go on speaking, and do not give up.
Men Herren sagde til Paulus i et Syn om Natten: „Frygt ikke, men tal og ti ikke,
10 I am with you, and no one shall attack you to injure you; for I have very 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 So Paul remained in Corinth for a year and six months, teaching among them the Message of God.
Og han slog sig ned der et Aar og seks Maaneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
12 But when Gallio became Proconsul of Greece, the Jews with one accord made a dead set at Paul, and brought him before the court.
Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
13 "This man," they said, "is inducing people to offer unlawful worship to God."
„Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven.”
14 But, when Paul was about to begin his defence, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it had been some wrongful act or piece of cunning knavery I might reasonably have listened to you Jews.
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 Law, you yourselves must see to them. I refuse to be a judge in such 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 So he ordered them out of court.
Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
17 Then the people all set upon Sosthenes, the Warden of the synagogue, and beat him severely in front of the court. Gallio did not concern himself in the least about this.
Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
18 After remaining a considerable time longer in Corinth, Paul took leave of the brethren and set sail for Syria; and Priscilla and Aquila were with him. He had shaved his head at Cenchreae, because he was bound by a vow.
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 They put in at Ephesus, and there Paul left his companions behind. As for himself, he went to the synagogue and had a discussion 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 him to remain longer he did not consent,
Men da de bade ham om at blive i længere Tid, samtykkede han ikke;
21 but took leave of them with the promise, "I will return to you, God willing." So he 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 Landing at Caesarea, he went up to Jerusalem and inquired after the welfare of the 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 spending some time in Antioch, Paul set out on a tour, visiting the whole of Galatia and Phrygia in order, and strengthening 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 Meanwhile a Jew named Apollos came to Ephesus. He was a native of Alexandria, a man of great learning and well versed in the Scriptures.
Men en Jøde ved Navn Apollos, født i Aleksandria, en veltalende Mand, som var stærk i Skrifterne, kom til Efesus.
25 He had been instructed by word of mouth in the way of the Lord, and, being full of burning zeal, he used to speak and teach accurately the facts about Jesus, though he knew of no baptism but John's.
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 He began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Priscilla and Aquila, after hearing him, took him home and explained God's way to him 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 Then, as he had made up his mind to cross over into Greece, the brethren wrote to the disciples in Corinth begging them to give him a kindly welcome. Upon his arrival he rendered valuable help to those who through grace had believed;
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 for he powerfully and in public overcame the Jews in argument, proving to them from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.
thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
