Acts 18
1 After these things Paul departed from Athens and came to Corinth.
Derefter forlod Paulus Athen og kom til Korinth
2 He found a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. He came 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 practised the same trade, he lived with them and worked, for by trade they were tent makers.
Og efterdi han øvede det samme Håndværk, blev han hos dem og arbejdede; thi de vare Teltmagere af Håndværk.
4 He reasoned in the synagogue every Sabbath and persuaded Jews and Greeks.
Men han holdt Samtaler i Synagogen på hver Sabbat og overbeviste Jøder og Grækere.
5 When Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was compelled by the Spirit, testifying 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 they opposed him and blasphemed, he shook out his clothing and said to them, “Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. 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 gå til Hedningerne."
7 He departed there and went into the house of a certain man named Justus, one who worshipped God, whose 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 lå ved Siden af Synagogen.
8 Crispus, the ruler of the synagogue, believed in the Lord with all his house. Many of the Corinthians, when they heard, believed and were baptised.
Men Synagogeforstanderen Krispus troede på 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 by a vision, “Don’t be afraid, but speak and don’t 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 attack you to harm you, for I have many people in this city.”
eftersom jeg er med dig, og ingen skal lægge Hånd på dig for at gøre dig noget ondt; thi jeg har et talrigt Folk i denne By."
11 He lived there a year and six months, teaching the word of God amongst them.
Og han slog sig ned der et År og seks Måneder og lærte Guds Ord iblandt dem.
12 But when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgement seat,
Men medens Gallio var Statholder i Akaja, stode Jøderne endrægtigt op imod Paulus og førte ham for Domstolen og sagde:
13 saying, “This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law.”
"Denne overtaler Folk til en Gudsdyrkelse imod Loven."
14 But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, “If indeed it were a matter of wrong or of wicked crime, you Jews, it would be reasonable that I should bear 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, tålmodigt høre på eder.
15 but if they are questions about words and names and your own law, look to it yourselves. For I don’t want to be a judge of these matters.”
Men er det Stridsspørgsmål 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 drove them from the judgement seat.
Og han drev dem bort fra Domstolen.
17 Then all the Greeks seized Sosthenes, the ruler of the synagogue, and beat him before the judgement seat. Gallio didn’t care about any of these things.
Men alle grebe Synagogeforstanderen Sosthenes og sloge ham lige for Domstolen; og Gallio brød sig ikke om noget af dette.
18 Paul, having stayed after this many more days, took his leave of the brothers, and sailed from there for Syria, together with Priscilla and Aquila. He shaved his head in Cenchreae, for he had 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 Hår klippe af i Kenkreæ; thi han havde et Løfte på sig.
19 He came to Ephesus, and he left them there; but he himself entered 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 him to stay with them 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 must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills.” Then he set sail from Ephesus.
men han tog Afsked og sagde: " (Jeg må endelig holde denne forestående Højtid i Jerusalem; men) jeg vil atter vende tilbage til eder, om Gud vil." Og han sejlede ud fra Efesus
22 When he had landed at Caesarea, he went up and greeted the assembly, and went down to Antioch.
og landede i Kæsarea, drog op og hilste på Menigheden og drog så ned til Antiokia.
23 Having spent some time there, he departed and went through the region of Galatia and Phrygia, in order, establishing 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 race, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus. He was 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 This man had been instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the things concerning Jesus, although he knew only the baptism of John.
Denne var undervist om Herrens Vej, og brændende i Ånden talte og lærte han grundigt om Jesus, skønt han kun kendte Johannes's Dåb.
26 He 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 had determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encouraged him; and wrote to the disciples to receive him. When he had come, he greatly helped those who had believed through 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 Nåde de troende til megen Nytte;
28 for he powerfully refuted the Jews, publicly showing by the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
thi han gendrev Jøderne offentligt med stor Kraft og beviste ved Skrifterne, at Jesus er Kristus.
