2 og fandt nogle Disciple, og han sagde til dem: "Fik I den Helligånd, da I bleve troende?" Men de sagde til ham: "Vi have ikke engang hørt, at der er en Helligånd."
2 He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
9 Men da nogle forhærdede sig og strede imod og over for Mængden talte ilde om Vejen, forlod han dem og skilte Disciplene fra dem og holdt daglig Samtaler i Tyrannus's Skole.
9 But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
13 Men også nogle af de omløbende jødiske Besværgere forsøgte at nævne den Herres Jesu Navn over dem, som havde de onde Ånder, idet de sagde: "Jeg besværger eder ved den Jesus, som Paulus prædiker."
13 But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, “I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches.”
16 Og det Menneske, i hvem den onde Ånd var, sprang ind på dem og overmandede dem begge og fik sådan Magt over dem, at de flygtede nøgne og sårede ud af Huset.
16 And the man, in whom was the evil spirit, leaped on them and subdued all of them and overpowered them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded.
17 Men dette blev vitterligt for alle dem, som boede i Efesus, både Jøder og Grækere; og der faldt en Frygt over dem alle, og den Herres Jesu Navn blev ophøjet,
17 This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.
19 Men mange af dem, som havde drevet Trolddom, bare deres Bøger sammen og opbrændte dem for alles Øjne; og man beregnede deres Værdi og fandt dem halvtredsindstyve Tusinde Sølvpenge værd.
19 And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
21 Men da dette var fuldbragt, satte Paulus sig for i Ånden, at han vilde rejse igennem Makedonien og Akaja og så drage til Jerusalem, og han sagde: "Efter at jeg har været der, bør jeg også se Rom."
21 Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.”
26 Og I se og høre, at ikke alene i Efesus, men næsten i hele Asien har denne Paulus ved sin Overtalelse vildledt en stor Mængde, idet han siger, at de ikke ere Guder, de, som gøres med Hænder.
26 You see and hear that not only in Ephesus, but in almost all of Asia, this Paul has persuaded and turned away a considerable number of people, saying that gods made with hands are no gods at all.
27 Men der er ikke alene Fare for, at denne vor Håndtering skal komme i Foragt, men også for, at den store Gudinde Artemis's Helligdom skal blive agtet for intet, og at den Gudindes Majestæt, hvem hele Asien og Jorderige dyrker, skal blive krænket."
27 Not only is there danger that this trade of ours fall into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Artemis be regarded as worthless and that she whom all of Asia and the world worship will even be dethroned from her magnificence.”
29 Og Byen kom i fuldt Oprør, og de stormede endrægtigt til Teatret og reve Makedonierne Hajus og Aristarkus, Paulus's Rejsefæller, med sig.
29 The city was filled with the confusion, and they rushed with one accord into the theater, dragging along Gaius and Aristarchus, Paul’s traveling companions from Macedonia.
33 Men de trak Aleksander, hvem Jøderne skøde frem, ud af Skaren; men Aleksander slog til Lyd med Hånden og vilde holde en Forsvarstale til Folket.
33 Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.
35 Men Byskriveren fik Skaren beroliget og sagde: "I Mænd i Efesus! hvilket Menneske er der vel, som ikke ved, at Efesiernes By er Tempelværge for den store Artemis og det himmelfaldne Billede?
35 After quieting the crowd, the town clerk *said, “Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?
38 Dersom nu Demetrius og hans Kunstnere have Klage imod nogen, da holdes der Tingdage, og der er Statholdere; lad dem kalde hinanden for Retten!
38 So then, if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against any man, the courts are in session and proconsuls are available; let them bring charges against one another.
40 Vi stå jo endog i Fare for at anklages for Oprør for, hvad der i Dag er sket, da der ingen Årsag er dertil; herfor, for dette Opløb, ville vi ikke kunne gøre regnskab."
40 For indeed we are in danger of being accused of a riot in connection with today’s events, since there is no real cause for it, and in this connection we will be unable to account for this disorderly gathering.”
