Apostelenes gerninger 9

¹ Men Saulus, som endnu fnøs med Trusel og Mord imod Herrens Disciple, gik til Ypperstepræsten

¹ Now Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest,

³ Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstrålede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.

³ As he was traveling, it happened that he was approaching Damascus, and suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him;

⁵ Og han sagde: "Hvem er du, Herre?" Men han svarede: "Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.

⁵ And he said, “Who are You, Lord?” And He said, “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting,

⁷ Men de Mænd, som rejste med ham, stode målløse, da de vel hørte Røsten, men ikke så nogen.

⁷ The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

⁹ Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.

⁹ And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

¹¹ Og Herren sagde til ham: "Stå op, gå hen i den Gade, som kaldes den lige, og spørg i Judas's Hus efter en ved Navn Saulus fra Tarsus; thi se, han beder.

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, “Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

¹³ Men Ananias svarede: "Herre! jeg har hørt af mange om denne Mand, hvor meget ondt han har gjort dine hellige i Jerusalem.

¹³ But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he did to Your saints at Jerusalem;

¹⁵ Men Herren sagde til ham: "Gå; thi denne er mig et udvalgt Redskab til at bære mit Navn frem både for Hedninger og Konger og Israels Børn;

¹⁵ But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name before the Gentiles and kings and the sons of Israel;

¹⁷ Men Ananias gik hen og kom ind i Huset og lagde Hænderne på ham og sagde: "Saul, Broder! Herren har sendt mig, den Jesus, der viste sig for dig på Vejen, ad hvilken du kom, for at du skal blive seende igen og fyldes med den Helligånd."

¹⁷ So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

¹⁹ Og han fik Mad og kom til Kræfter. Men han blev nogle Dage hos Disciplene i Damaskus.

¹⁹ and he took food and was strengthened.Now for several days he was with the disciples who were at Damascus,

²¹ Men alle, som hørte det, forbavsedes og sagde: "Er det ikke ham, som i Jerusalem forfulgte dem, der påkaldte dette Navn, og var kommen hertil for at føre dem bundne til Ypperstepræsterne?"

²¹ All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, “Is this not he who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?”

²³ Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Råd om at slå ham ihjel.

²³ When many days had elapsed, the Jews plotted together to do away with him,

²⁵ Men hans Disciple toge ham ved Nattetid og bragte ham ud igennem Muren, idet de firede ham ned i en Kurv.

²⁵ but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a large basket.

²⁷ Men Barnabas tog sig af ham og førte ham til Apostlene; og han fortalte dem, hvorledes han havde set Herren på Vejen, og at han havde talt til ham, og hvorledes han i Damaskus havde vidnet frimodigt i Jesu Navn.

²⁷ But Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how at Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.

²⁹ og vidnede frimodigt i Herrens Navn. Og han talte og tvistedes med Hellenisterne; men de toge sig for at slå ham ihjel.

²⁹ And he was talking and arguing with the Hellenistic Jews; but they were attempting to put him to death.

³¹ Så havde da Menigheden Fred over hele Judæa og Galilæa og Samaria, og den opbyggedes og vandrede i Herrens Frygt, og ved den Helligånds Formaning voksede den.

³¹ So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria enjoyed peace, being built up; and going on in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it continued to increase.

³³ Der fandt han en Mand ved Navn Æneas, som havde ligget otte År til Sengs og var værkbruden.

³³ There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed.

³⁵ Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron så ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.

³⁵ And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

³⁷ Men det skete i de Dage, at hun blev syg og døde. Da toede de hende og lagde hende i Salen ovenpå.

³⁷ And it happened at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upper room.

³⁹ Men Peter stod op og gik med dem. Og da han kom derhen, førte de ham op i Salen ovenpå, og alle Enkerne stode hos ham, græd og viste ham alle de Kjortler og Kapper, som "Hinden" havde forarbejdet, medens hun var hos dem.

³⁹ So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

⁴¹ Men han gav hende Hånden og rejste hende op, og han kaldte på de hellige og Enkerne og fremstillede hende levende for dem.

⁴¹ And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

⁴³ Og det skete, at han blev mange Dage i Joppe hos en vis Simon, en Garver. 

⁴³ And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
