Apostelenes gerninger 15
1 Og der kom nogle ned fra Judæa, som lærte Brødrene: "Dersom I ikke lade eder omskære efter Mose Skik, kunne I ikke blive frelste."
And some coming down from Judea, taught the brethren: That except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be saved.
2 Da nu Paulus og Barnabas kom i en ikke ringe Splid og Strid med dem, så besluttede man, at Paulus og Barnabas og nogle andre af dem skulde drage op til Jerusalem til Apostlene og de Ældste i Anledning af dette Spørgsmål.
And when Paul and Barnabas had no small contest with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain others of the other side, should go up to the apostles and priests to Jerusalem about this question.
3 Disse bleve da sendte af Sted af Menigheden og droge igennem Fønikien og Samaria og fortalte om Hedningernes Omvendelse, og de gjorde alle Brødrene stor Glæde.
They therefore being brought on their way by the church, passed through Phenice, and Samaria, relating the conversion of the Gentiles; and they caused great joy to all the brethren.
4 Men da de kom til Jerusalem, bleve de modtagne af Menigheden og Apostlene og de Ældste, og de kundgjorde, hvor store Ting Gud havde gjort med dem.
And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received by the church, and by the apostles and ancients, declaring how great things God had done with them.
5 Men nogle af Farisæernes Parti, som vare blevne troende, stode op og sagde: "Man bør omskære dem og befale dem at holde Mose Lov."
But there arose some of the sect of the Pharisees that believed, saying: They must be circumcised, and be commanded to observe the law of Moses.
6 Men Apostlene og de Ældste forsamlede sig for at overlægge denne Sag.
And the apostles and ancients assembled to consider of this matter.
7 Men da man havde tvistet meget herom, stod Peter op og sagde til dem: "I Mænd, Brødre! I vide, at for lang Tid siden gjorde Gud det Valg iblandt eder, at Hedningerne ved min Mund skulde høre Evangeliets Ord og tro.
And when there had been much disputing, Peter, rising up, said to them: Men, brethren, you know, that in former days God made choice among us, that by my mouth the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe.
8 Og Gud, som kender Hjerterne, gav dem Vidnesbyrd ved at give dem den Helligånd lige så vel som os.
And God, who knoweth the hearts, gave testimony, giving unto them the Holy Ghost, as well as to us;
9 Og han gjorde ingen Forskel imellem os og dem, idet han ved Troen rensede deres Hjerter.
And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Hvorfor friste I da nu Gud, så I lægge et Åg på Disciplenes Nakke, som hverken vore Fædre eller vi have formået at bære?
Now therefore, why tempt you God to put a yoke upon the necks of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we have been able to bear?
11 Men vi tro, at vi bliver frelste ved den Herres Jesu Nåde på samme Måde som også de."
But by the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, we believe to be saved, in like manner as they also.
12 Men hele Mængden tav og de hørte Barnabas og Paulus fortælle, hvor store Tegn og Undere Gud havde gjort iblandt Hedningerne ved dem.
And all the multitude held their peace; and they heard Barnabas and Paul telling what great signs and wonders God had wrought among the Gentiles by them.
13 Men da de havde hørt op at tale, tog Jakob til Orde og sagde: "I Mænd, Brødre, hører mig!"
And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying: Men, brethren, hear me.
14 Simon har fortalt, hvorledes Gud først drog Omsorg for at tage ud af Hedninger et Folk for sit Navn.
Simon hath related how God first visited to take of the Gentiles a people to his name.
15 Og dermed stemme Profeternes Tale overens, som der er skrevet:
And to this agree the words of the prophets, as it is written:
16 "Derefter vil jeg vende tilbage og atter opbygge Davids faldne Hytte, og det nedrevne af den vil jeg atter opbygge og oprejse den igen,
After these things I will return, and will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which is fallen down; and the ruins thereof I will rebuild, and I will set it up:
17 for at de øvrige af Menneskene skulle søge Herren, og alle Hedningerne, over hvilke mit Navn er nævnet, siger Herren, som gør dette."
That the residue of men may seek after the Lord, and all nations upon whom my name is invoked, saith the Lord, who doth these things.
To the Lord was his own work known from the beginning of the world. (aiōn g165)
19 Derfor mener jeg, at man ikke skal besvære dem af Hedningerne, som omvende sig til Gud,
For which cause I judge that they, who from among the Gentiles are converted to God, are not to be disquieted.
20 men skrive til dem, at de skulle afholde sig fra Besmittelse med Afguderne og fra Utugt og fra det kvalte og fra Blodet.
But that we write unto them, that they refrain themselves from the pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
21 Thi Moses har fra gammel Tid i hver By Mennesker, som prædike ham, idet han oplæses hver Sabbat i Synagogerne."
For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him in the synagogues, where he is read every sabbath.
22 Da besluttede Apostelene og de Ældste tillige med hele Menigheden at udvælge nogle Mænd af deres Midte og sende dem til Antiokia tillige med Paulus og Barnabas, nemlig Judas, kaldet Barsabbas, og Silas, hvilke Mænd vare ansete iblandt Brødrene.
Then it pleased the apostles and ancients, with the whole church, to choose men of their own company, and to send to Antioch, with Paul and Barnabas, namely, Judas, who was surnamed Barsabas, and Silas, chief men among the brethren.
23 Og de skreve således med dem: "Apostlene og de Ældste og Brødrene hilse Brødrene af Hedningerne i Antiokia og Syrien og Kilikien.
Writing by their hands: The apostles and ancients, brethren, to the brethren of the Gentiles that are at Antioch, and in Syria and Cilicia, greeting.
24 Efterdi vi have hørt, at nogle, som ere komne fra os, have forvirret eder med Ord og voldt eders Sjæle Uro uden at have nogen Befaling fra os,
Forasmuch as we have heard, that some going out from us have troubled you with words, subverting your souls; to whom we gave no commandment:
25 så have vi endrægtigt forsamlede, besluttet at udvælge nogle Mænd og sende dem til eder med vore elskelige Barnabas og Paulus,
It hath seemed good to us, being assembled together, to choose out men, and to send them unto you, with our well beloved Barnabas and Paul:
26 Mænd, som have vovet deres Liv for vor Herres Jesu Kristi Navn.
Men that have given their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
27 Vi have derfor sendt Judas og Silas, der også mundtligt skulle forkynde det samme.
We have sent therefore Judas and Silas, who themselves also will, by word of mouth, tell you the same things.
28 Thi det er den Helligånds Beslutning og vor, ingen videre Byrde at pålægge eder uden disse nødvendige Ting:
For it hath seemed good to the Holy Ghost and to us, to lay no further burden upon you than these necessary things:
29 At I skulle afholde eder fra Afgudsofferkød og fra Blod og fra det kvalte og fra Utugt. Når I holde eder derfra, vil det gå eder godt. Lever vel!"
That you abstain from things sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from fornication; from which things keeping yourselves, you shall do well. Fare ye well.
30 Så lod man dem da fare, og de kom ned til Antiokia og forsamlede Mængden og overgave Brevet.
They therefore being dismissed, went down to Antioch; and gathering together the multitude, delivered the epistle.
31 Men da de læste det, bleve de glade over Trøsten.
Which when they had read, they rejoiced for the consolation.
32 Og Judas og Silas, som også selv vare Profeter, opmuntrede Brødrene med megen Tale og styrkede dem.
But Judas and Silas, being prophets also themselves, with many words comforted the brethren, and confirmed them.
33 Men da de havde opholdt sig der nogen Tid, lode Brødrene dem fare med Fred til dem, som havde udsendt dem.
And after they had spent some time there, they were let go with peace by the brethren, unto them that had sent them.
34 (Men Silas besluttede at blive der.)
But it seemed good unto Silas to remain there; and Judas alone departed to Jerusalem.
35 Men Paulus og Barnabas opholdt sig i Antiokia, hvor de tillige med mange andre lærte og forkyndte Herrens Ord.
And Paul and Barnabas continued at Antioch, teaching and preaching, with many others, the word of the Lord.
36 Men efter nogen Tids Forløb sagde Paulus til Barnabas: "Lader os dog drage tilbage og besøge vore Brødre i hver By, hvor vi have forkyndt Herrens Ord, for at se, hvorledes det går dem."
And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas: Let us return and visit our brethren in all the cities wherein we have preached the word of the Lord, to see how they do.
37 Men Barnabas vilde også tage Johannes, kaldet Markus, med.
And Barnabas would have taken with them John also, that was surnamed Mark;
38 Men Paulus holdt for, at de ikke skulde tage den med, som havde forladt dem i Pamfylien og ikke havde fulgt med dem til Arbejdet.
But Paul desired that he (as having departed from them out of Pamphylia, and not gone with them to the work) might not be received.
39 Der blev da en heftig Strid, så at de skiltes fra hverandre, og Barnabas tog Markus med sig og sejlede til Kypern.
And there arose a dissension, so that they departed one from another; and Barnabas indeed taking Mark, sailed to Cyprus.
40 Men Paulus udvalgte Silas og drog ud, anbefalet af Brødrene til Herrens Nåde.
But Paul choosing Silas, departed, being delivered by the brethren to the grace of God.
41 Men han rejste omkring i Syrien og Kilikien og styrkede Menighederne.
And he went through Syria and Cilicia, confirming the churches, commanding them to keep the precepts of the apostles and the ancients.
