Apostelenes gerninger 13
1 Men i Antiokia, i den derværende Menighed, var der Profeter og Lærere, nemlig Barnabas og Simeon, med Tilnavn Niger, og Kyrenæeren Lukius og Manaen, en Fosterbroder af Fjerdingsfyrsten Herodes, og Saulus.
Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Medens de nu holdt Gudstjeneste og fastede, sagde den Helligaand: „Udtager mig Barnabas og Saulus til den Gerning, hvortil jeg har kaldet dem.‟
As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”
3 Da fastede de og bade og lagde Hænderne paa dem og lode dem fare.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.
4 Da de nu saaledes vare udsendte af den Helligaand, droge de ned til Seleukia og sejlede derfra til Kypern.
So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Og da de vare komne til Salamis, forkyndte de Guds Ord i Jødernes Synagoger; men de havde ogsaa Johannes til Medhjælper.
When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed God’s word in the Jewish synagogues. They also had Yochanan as their attendant.
6 Og da de vare dragne igennem hele Øen indtil Pafus, fandt de en Troldkarl, en falsk Profet, en Jøde, hvis Navn var Barjesus.
When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Yeshua,
7 Han var hos Statholderen Sergius Paulus, en forstandig Mand. Denne kaldte Barnabas og Saulus til sig og attraaede at høre Guds Ord.
who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of understanding. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul, and sought to hear the word of God.
8 Men Elimas, Troldkarlen, (thi dette betyder hans Navn), stod dem imod og søgte at vende Statholderen bort fra Troen.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.
9 Men Saulus, som ogsaa kaldes Paulus, blev fyldt med den Helligaand, saa fast paa ham og sagde:
But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him
10 „O, du Djævelens Barn, fuld af al Svig og al Underfundighed, du Fjende af al Retfærdighed! vil du ikke holde op med at forvende Herrens de lige Veje?
and said, “You son of the devil, full of all deceit and all cunning, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Og nu se, Herrens Haand er over dig, og du skal blive blind og til en Tid ikke se Solen.‟ Men straks faldt der Mulm og Mørke over ham, og han gik omkring og søgte efter nogen, som kunde lede ham.
Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.
12 Da Statholderen saa det, som var sket, troede han, slagen af Forundring over Herrens Lære.
Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
13 Paulus og de, som vare med ham, sejlede da ud fra Pafus og kom til Perge i Pamfylien. Men Johannes skiltes fra dem og vendte tilbage til Jerusalem.
Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. Yochanan departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.
14 Men de droge videre fra Perge og kom til Antiokia i Pisidien og gik ind i Synagogen paa Sabbatsdagen og satte sig.
But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down.
15 Men efter Forelæsningen af Loven og Profeterne sendte Synagogeforstanderne Bud hen til dem og lode sige: „I Mænd, Brødre! have I noget Formaningsord til Folket, da siger frem!‟
After the reading of the Torah and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”
16 Men Paulus stod op og slog til Lyd med Haanden og sagde: „I israelitiske Mænd og I, som frygte Gud, hører til!
Paul stood up, and gesturing with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.
17 Dette Folks, Israels Gud udvalgte vore Fædre og ophøjede Folket i Udlændigheden i Ægyptens Land og førte dem derfra med løftet Arm.
The God of this people chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.
18 Og omtrent fyrretyve Aar taalte han deres Færd i Ørkenen.
For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.
19 Og han udryddede syv Folk i Kanaans Land og fordelte disses Land iblandt dem,
When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance for about four hundred fifty years.
20 og derefter i omtrent fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve Aar gav han dem Dommere indtil Profeten Samuel.
After these things, he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.
21 Og derefter bade de om en Konge; og Gud gav dem Saul, Kis's Søn, en Mand af Benjamins Stamme, i fyrretyve Aar.
Afterward they asked for a king, and God gave to them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.
22 Og da han havde taget ham bort, oprejste han dem David til Konge, om hvem han ogsaa vidnede, og sagde: „Jeg har fundet David, Isajs Søn, en Mand efter mit Hjerte, som skal gøre al min Villie.‟
When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’
23 Af dennes Sæd bragte Gud efter Forjættelsen Israel en Frelser, Jesus,
From this man’s offspring, God has brought salvation to Israel according to his promise,
24 efter at Johannes forud for hans Fremtræden havde prædiket Omvendelses-Daab for hele Israels Folk.
before his coming, when Yochanan had first preached the immersion of repentance to Israel.
25 Men da Johannes var ved at fuldende sit Løb, sagde han: „Hvad anse I mig for at være? Mig er det ikke; men se, der kommer en efter mig, hvis Sko jeg ikke er værdig at løse.‟
As Yochanan was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me, the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’
26 I Mænd, Brødre, Sønner af Abrahams Slægt, og de iblandt eder, som frygte Gud! Til os er Ordet om denne Frelse sendt.
“Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.
27 Thi de, som bo i Jerusalem, og deres Raadsherrer kendte ham ikke; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved Profeternes Ord, som forelæses hver Sabbat.
For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.
28 Og om end de ingen Dødsskyld fandt hos ham, bade de dog Pilatus, at han maatte blive slaaet ihjel.
Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.
29 Men da de havde fuldbragt alle Ting, som ere skrevne om ham, toge de ham ned af Træet og lagde ham i en Grav.
When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree and laid him in a tomb.
30 Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,
But God raised him from the dead,
31 og han blev set i flere Dage af dem, som vare gaaede med ham op fra Galilæa til Jerusalem, dem, som nu ere hans Vidner for Folket.
and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.
32 Og vi forkynde eder den Forjættelse, som blev given til Fædrene, at Gud har opfyldt denne for os, deres Børn, idet han oprejste Jesus;
We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,
33 som der ogsaa er skrevet i den anden Psalme: „Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag.‟
that God has fulfilled this to us, their children, in that he raised up Yeshua. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’
34 Men at han har oprejst ham fra de døde, saa at han ikke mere skal vende tilbage til Forraadnelse, derom har han sagt saaledes: „Jeg vil give eder Davids hellige Forjættelser, de trofaste.‟
“Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’
35 Thi han siger ogsaa i en anden Psalme: „Du skal ikke tilstede din hellige at se Forraadnelse.‟
Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’
36 David sov jo hen, da han i sin Livstid havde tjent Guds Raadslutning, og han blev henlagt hos sine Fædre og saa Forraadnelse;
For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
37 men den, som Gud oprejste, saa ikke Forraadnelse.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
38 Saa være det eder vitterligt, I Mænd, Brødre! at ved ham forkyndes der eder Syndernes Forladelse;
Be it known to you therefore, brothers, that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins;
39 og fra alt, hvorfra I ikke kunde retfærdiggøres ved Mose Lov, retfærdiggøres ved ham enhver, som tror.
and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the Torah of Moses.
40 Ser nu til, at ikke det, som er sagt ved Profeterne, kommer over eder:
Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the Prophets:
41 „Ser, I Foragtere, og forundrer eder og bliver til intet; thi en Gerning gør jeg i eders Dage, en Gerning, som I ikke vilde tro, dersom nogen fortalte eder den.‟
‘Behold, you scoffers! Wonder and perish, for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’”
42 Men da de gik ud, bad man dem om, at disse Ord maatte blive talte til dem paa den følgende Sabbat.
So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.
43 Men da Forsamlingen var opløst, fulgte mange af Jøderne og af de gudfrygtige Proselyter Paulus og Barnabas, som talte til dem og formanede dem til at blive fast ved Guds Naade.
Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Men paa den følgende Sabbat forsamledes næsten hele Byen for at høre Guds Ord.
The next Sabbath, almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.
45 Men da Jøderne saa Skarerne, bleve de fulde af Nidkærhed og modsagde det, som blev talt af Paulus, ja, baade sagde imod og spottede.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.
46 Men Paulus og Barnabas talte frit ud og sagde: „Det var nødvendigt, at Guds Ord først skulde tales til eder; men efterdi I støde det fra eder og ikke agte eder selv værdige til det evige Liv, se, saa vende vi os til Hedningerne. (aiōnios g166)
Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from yourselves, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Thi saaledes har Herren befalet os: „Jeg har sat dig til Hedningers Lys, for at du skal være til Frelse lige ud til Jordens Ende.‟
For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’”
48 Men da Hedningerne hørte dette, bleve de glade og priste Herrens Ord, og de troede, saa mange, som vare bestemte til evigt Liv, (aiōnios g166)
As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.
The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.
50 Men Jøderne ophidsede de fornemme gudfrygtige Kvinder og de første Mænd i Byen; og de vakte en Forfølgelse imod Paulus og Barnabas og joge dem ud fra deres Grænser.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.
51 Men de rystede Støvet af deres Fødder imod dem og droge til Ikonium.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.
52 Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligaand.
The disciples were filled with joy and with the Holy Spirit.
