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.

¹ Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers: Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

³ Da fastede de og bade og lagde Hænderne på dem og lode dem fare.

³ Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.

⁵ Og da de vare komne til Salamis, forkyndte de Guds Ord i Jødernes Synagoger; men de havde også Johannes til Medhjælper.

⁵ When they reached Salamis, they began to proclaim the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews; and they also had John as their helper.

⁷ Han var hos Statholderen Sergius Paulus, en forstandig Mand. Denne kaldte Barnabas og Saulus til sig og attråede at høre Guds Ord.

⁷ who was with the proconsul, Sergius Paulus, a man of intelligence. This man summoned Barnabas and Saul and sought to hear the word of God.

⁹ Men Saulus, som også kaldes Paulus, blev fyldt med den Helligånd, så fast på ham og sagde:

⁹ But Saul, who was also known as Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fixed his gaze on him,

¹¹ Og nu se, Herrens Hånd 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.

¹¹ Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time.” And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

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.

¹³ Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

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!"

¹⁵ After the reading of the Law and the Prophets the synagogue officials sent to them, saying, “Brethren, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, say it.”

¹⁷ Dette Folks, Israels Gud udvalgte vore Fædre og ophøjede Folket i Udlændigheden i Ægyptens Land og førte dem derfra med løftet Arm.

¹⁷ The God of this people Israel chose our fathers and made the people great during their stay in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm He led them out from it.

¹⁹ Og han udryddede syv Folk i Kanåns Land og fordelte disses Land iblandt dem,

¹⁹ When He had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, He distributed their land as an inheritance—all of which took about four hundred and fifty years.

²¹ Og derefter bade de om en Konge; og Gud gav dem Saul, Kis's Søn, en Mand af Benjamins Stamme, i fyrretyve År.

²¹ Then they asked for a king, and God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years.

²³ Af dennes Sæd bragte Gud efter Forjættelsen Israel en Frelser, Jesus,

²³ From the descendants of this man, according to promise, God has brought to Israel a Savior, Jesus,

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."

²⁵ And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁷ Thi de, som bo i Jerusalem, og deres Rådsherrer kendte ham ikke; de dømte ham og opfyldte derved Profeternes Ord, som forelæses hver Sabbat.

²⁷ For those who live in Jerusalem, and their rulers, recognizing neither Him nor the utterances of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled these by condemning Him.

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.

²⁹ When they had carried out all that was written concerning Him, they took Him down from the cross and laid Him in a tomb.

³¹ og han blev set i flere Dage af dem, som vare gåede med ham op fra Galilæa til Jerusalem, dem, som nu ere hans Vidner for Folket.

³¹ and for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people.

³³ som der også er skrevet i den anden Salme: "Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag."

³³ that God has fulfilled this promise to our children in that He raised up Jesus, as it is also written in the second Psalm, ‘You are My Son; today i have begotten You.’

³⁵ Thi han siger også i en anden Salme: "Du skal ikke tilstede din hellige at se Forrådnelse."

³⁵ Therefore He also says in another Psalm, ‘You will not allow Your Holy One to undergo decay.’

³⁷ men den, som Gud oprejste, så ikke Forrådnelse.

³⁷ but He whom God raised did not undergo decay.

³⁹ og fra alt, hvorfra I ikke kunde retfærdiggøres ved Mose Lov, retfærdiggøres ved ham enhver, som tror.

³⁹ and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.

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."

⁴¹ ‘Behold, you scoffers, and marvel, and perish;For I am accomplishing a work in your days,A work which you will never believe, though someone should describe it to you.’”

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 Nåde.

⁴³ Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴⁵ Men da Jøderne så Skarerne, bleve de fulde af Nidkærhed og modsagde det, som blev talt af Paulus, ja, både sagde imod og spottede.

⁴⁵ But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began contradicting the things spoken by Paul, and were blaspheming.

⁴⁷ Thi således har Herren befalet os: "Jeg har sat dig til Hedningers Lys, for at du skal være til Frelse lige ud til Jordens Ende."

⁴⁷ For so the Lord has commanded us,‘I have placed You as a light for the Gentiles,That You may bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”

⁴⁹ og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.

⁴⁹ And the word of the Lord was being spread through the whole region.

⁵¹ Men de rystede Støvet af deres Fødder imod dem og droge til Ikonium.

⁵¹ But they shook off the dust of their feet in protest against them and went to Iconium.
