Apostelenes gerninger 1
1 Den første Bog skrev jeg, o Theofilus! om alt det, som Jesus begyndte både at gøre og lære,
The former account, indeed, I made concerning all things, O Theophilus, that Jesus began both to do and to teach,
2 indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen, efter at han havde givet Apostlene, som han havde udvalgt, Befaling ved den Helligånd;
till the day in which, having given command, through the Holy Spirit, to the apostles whom he did choose out, he was taken up,
3 for hvem han også, 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.
to whom also he did present himself alive after his suffering, in many certain proofs, through forty days being seen by them, and speaking the things concerning the reign of God.
4 Og medens han var sammen med dem, bød han dem, at de ikke måtte vige fra Jerusalem, men skulde oppebie Faderens Forjættelse, "hvorom," sagde han, "I have hørt af mig.
And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the Father, which, [saith he, ] 'Ye did hear of me;
5 Thi Johannes døbte med Vand; men I skulle døbes med den Helligånd om ikke mange Dage."
because John, indeed, baptized with water, and ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit — after not many days.'
6 Som de nu vare forsamlede, spurgte de ham og sagde: "Herre! opretter du på denne Tid Riget igen for Israel?"
They, therefore, indeed, having come together, were questioning him, saying, 'Lord, dost thou at this time restore the reign to Israel?'
7 Men han sagde til dem: "Det tilkommer ikke eder at kende Tider eller Timer, hvilke Faderen har fastsat i sin egen Magt.
and he said unto them, 'It is not yours to know times or seasons that the Father did appoint in His own authority;
8 Men I skulle få Kraft, når den Helligånd kommer over eder; og I skulle være mine Vidner både i Jerusalem og i hele Judæa og Samaria og indtil Jordens Ende."
but ye shall receive power at the coming of the Holy Spirit upon you, and ye shall be witnesses to me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and Samaria, and unto the end of the earth.'
9 Og da han havde sagt dette, blev han optagen, medens de så derpå, og en Sky tog ham bort fra deres Øjne.
And these things having said — they beholding — he was taken up, and a cloud did receive him up from their sight;
10 Og som de stirrede op imod Himmelen, medens han for bort, se, da stode to Mænd hos dem i hvide Klæder,
and as they were looking stedfastly to the heaven in his going on, then, lo, two men stood by them in white apparel,
11 og de sagde: "I galilæiske Mænd, hvorfor stå I og se op imod Himmelen? Denne Jesus, som er optagen fra eder til Himmelen, skal komme igen på samme Måde, som I have set ham fare til Himmelen."
who also said, 'Men, Galileans, why do ye stand gazing into the heaven? this Jesus who was received up from you into the heaven, shall so come in what manner ye saw him going on to the heaven.'
12 Da vendte de tilbage til Jerusalem fra det Bjerg, som kaldes Oliebjerget og er nær ved Jerusalem, en Sabbatsvej derfra.
Then did they return to Jerusalem from the mount that is called of Olives, that is near Jerusalem, a sabbath's journey;
13 Og da de kom derind, gik de op på 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.
and when they came in, they went up to the upper room, where were abiding both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James, of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zelotes, and Judas, of James;
14 Alle disse vare endrægtigt vedholdende i Bønnen tillige med nogle Kvinder og Maria, Jesu Moder, og med hans Brødre.
these all were continuing with one accord in prayer and supplication, with women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.
15 Og i disse Dage stod Peter op midt iblandt Brødrene og sagde: (og der var en Skare samlet på omtrent hundrede og tyve Personer):
And in these days, Peter having risen up in the midst of the disciples, said, (the multitude also of the names at the same place was, as it were, an hundred and twenty, )
16 "I Mænd, Brødre! det Skriftens Ord burde opfyldes, som den Helligånd forud havde talt ved Davids Mund om Judas, der blev Vejleder for dem, som grebe Jesus;
'Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,
17 thi han var regnet iblandt os og havde fået denne Tjenestes Lod.
because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,
18 Han erhvervede sig nu en Ager for sin Uretfærdigheds Løn, og han styrtede ned og brast itu, og alle hans Indvolde væltede ud,
this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,
19 hvilket også er blevet vitterligt for alle dem, som bo i Jerusalem, så at den Ager kaldes på deres eget Mål Hakeldama, det er Blodager.
and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,
20 Thi der er skrevet i Salmernes Bog: "Hans Bolig blive øde, og der være ingen, som bor i den," og: "Lad en anden få hans Tilsynsgerning."
for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.
21 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,
'It behoveth, therefore, of the men who did go with us during all the time in which the Lord Jesus went in and went out among us,
22 lige fra Johannes's Dåb indtil den Dag, da han blev optagen fra os, blive Vidne sammen med os om hans Opstandelse."
beginning from the baptism of John, unto the day in which he was received up from us, one of these to become with us a witness of his rising again.'
23 Og de fremstillede to, Josef, som kaldtes Barsabbas med Tilnavn Justus, og Matthias.
And they set two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias,
24 Og de bade og sagde: "Du Herre! som kender alles Hjerter, vis os den ene, som du har udvalgt af disse to
and having prayed, they said, 'Thou, Lord, who art knowing the heart of all, shew which one thou didst choose of these two
25 til at få denne Tjenestes og Apostelgernings Plads, som Judas forlod for at gå hen til sit eget Sted."
to receive the share of this ministration and apostleship, from which Judas, by transgression, did fall, to go on to his proper place;'
26 Og de kastede Lod imellem dem, og Loddet faldt på Matthias. og han blev regnet sammen med de elleve Apostle.
and they gave their lots, and the lot fell upon Matthias, and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
