Apostelenes gerninger 9
1 Men Saulus, som endnu fnøs med Trusel og Mord imod Herrens Disciple, gik til Ypperstepræsten
But Saul, still breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, came to the high priest
2 og bad ham om Breve til Damaskus til Synagogerne, for at han, om han fandt nogle, Mænd eller Kvinder, som holdt sig til Vejen, kunde føre dem bundne til Jerusalem.
and asked of him letters to Damascus, to the synagogues, so that if he found any who were of the way, both men and women, he might bring [them] bound to Jerusalem.
3 Men da han var undervejs og nærmede sig til Damaskus, omstrålede et Lys fra Himmelen ham pludseligt.
But as he was journeying, it came to pass that he drew near to Damascus; and suddenly there shone round about him a light out of heaven,
4 Og han faldt til Jorden og hørte en Røst, som sagde til ham: "Saul! Saul! hvorfor forfølger du mig?"
and falling on the earth he heard a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why dost thou persecute me?
5 Og han sagde: "Hvem er du, Herre?" Men han svarede: "Jeg er Jesus, som du forfølger.
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And he [said], I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest.
6 Men stå op og gå ind i Byen, og det skal siges dig, hvad du bør gøre."
But rise up and enter into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.
7 Men de Mænd, som rejste med ham, stode målløse, da de vel hørte Røsten, men ikke så nogen.
But the men who were travelling with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but beholding no one.
8 Og Saulus rejste sig op fra Jorden; men da han oplod sine Øjne, så han intet. Men de ledte ham ved Hånden og førte ham ind i Damaskus.
And Saul rose up from the earth, and his eyes being opened he saw no one. But leading [him] by the hand they brought him into Damascus.
9 Og han kunde i tre Dage ikke se, og han hverken spiste eller drak.
And he was three days without seeing, and neither ate nor drank.
10 Men der var en Discipel i Damaskus, ved Navn Ananias, og Herren sagde til ham i et Syn: "Ananias!" Og han sagde: "Se, her er jeg, Herre!"
And there was a certain disciple in Damascus by name Ananias. And the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, [here am] I, Lord.
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.
And the Lord [said] to him, Rise up and go into the street which is called Straight, and seek in the house of Judas one by name Saul, [he is] of Tarsus: for, behold, he is praying,
12 Og han har i et Syn set en Mand, ved Navn Ananias, komme ind og lægge Hænderne på ham, for at han skulde blive seende."
and has seen [in a vision] a man by name Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he should see.
13 Men Ananias svarede: "Herre! jeg har hørt af mange om denne Mand, hvor meget ondt han har gjort dine hellige i Jerusalem.
And Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard from many concerning this man how much evil he has done to thy saints at Jerusalem;
14 Og her har han Fuldmagt fra Ypperstepræsterne til at binde alle dem, som påkalde dit Navn."
and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call upon thy name.
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;
And the Lord said to him, Go, for this [man] is an elect vessel to me, to bear my name before both nations and kings and [the] sons of Israel:
16 thi jeg vil, vise ham hvor meget han bør lide for mit Navns Skyld."
for I will shew to him how much he must suffer for my name.
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."
And Ananias went and entered into the house; and laying his hands upon him he said, Saul, brother, the Lord has sent me, Jesus that appeared to thee in the way in which thou camest, that thou mightest see, and be filled with [the] Holy Spirit.
18 Og straks faldt der ligesom Skæl fra hans Øjne, og han blev seende, og han stod op og blev døbt.
And straightway there fell from his eyes as it were scales, and he saw, and rising up was baptised;
19 Og han fik Mad og kom til Kræfter. Men han blev nogle Dage hos Disciplene i Damaskus.
and, having received food, got strength. And he was with the disciples who [were] in Damascus certain days.
20 Og straks prædikede han i Synagogerne om Jesus, at han er Guds Søn.
And straightway in the synagogues he preached Jesus that he is the Son of God.
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?"
And all who heard were astonished and said, Is not this he who destroyed in Jerusalem those who called on this name, and here was come for this purpose, that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?
22 Men Saulus voksede i Kraft og gendrev Jøderne, som boede i Damaskus, idet han beviste, at denne er Kristus.
But Saul increased the more in power, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this is the Christ.
23 Men da nogle Dage vare forløbne, holdt Jøderne Råd om at slå ham ihjel.
Now when many days were fulfilled, the Jews consulted together to kill him.
24 Men Saulus fik deres Efterstræbelser at vide. Og de bevogtede endog Portene både Dag og Nat, for at de kunde slå ham ihjel.
But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched also the gates both day and night, that they might kill him;
25 Men hans Disciple toge ham ved Nattetid og bragte ham ud igennem Muren, idet de firede ham ned i en Kurv.
but the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall, lowering him in a basket.
26 Men da han kom til Jerusalem, forsøgte han at holde sig til Disciplene; men de frygtede alle for ham, da de ikke troede, at han var en Discipel.
And having arrived at Jerusalem he essayed to join himself to the disciples, and all were afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.
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.
But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles, and related to them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how in Damascus he had spoken boldly in the name of Jesus.
28 Og han gik ind og gik ud med dem i Jerusalem
And he was with them coming in and going out at Jerusalem,
29 og vidnede frimodigt i Herrens Navn. Og han talte og tvistedes med Hellenisterne; men de toge sig for at slå ham ihjel.
and speaking boldly in the name of the Lord. And he spoke and discussed with the Hellenists; but they sought to kill him.
30 Men da Brødrene fik dette at vide, førte de ham ned til Kæsarea og sendte ham videre til Tarsus.
And the brethren knowing it, brought him down to Caesarea and sent him away to Tarsus.
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.
The assemblies then throughout the whole of Judaea and Galilee and Samaria had peace, being edified and walking in the fear of the Lord, and were increased through the comfort of the Holy Spirit.
32 Men det skete, medens Peter drog omkring alle Vegne, at han også kom ned til de hellige, som boede i Lydda.
Now it came to pass that Peter, passing through all [quarters], descended also to the saints who inhabited Lydda.
33 Der fandt han en Mand ved Navn Æneas, som havde ligget otte År til Sengs og var værkbruden.
And he found there a certain man, Aeneas by name, who had been lying for eight years upon a couch, who was paralysed.
34 Og Peter sagde til ham: "Æneas! Jesus Kristus helbreder dig; stå op, og red selv din Seng!" Og han stod straks op.
And Peter said to him, Aeneas, Jesus, the Christ, heals thee: rise up, and make thy couch for thyself. And straightway he rose up.
35 Og alle Beboere af Lydda og Saron så ham, og de omvendte sig til Herren.
And all who inhabited Lydda and the Saron saw him, who turned to the Lord.
36 Men i Joppe var der en Discipelinde ved Navn Tabitha, hvilket udlagt betyder Hind; hun var rig på gode Gerninger og gav mange Almisser.
And in Joppa there was a certain female disciple, by name Tabitha, which being interpreted means Dorcas. She was full of good works and alms-deeds which she did.
37 Men det skete i de Dage, at hun blev syg og døde. Da toede de hende og lagde hende i Salen ovenpå.
And it came to pass in those days that she grew sick and died; and, having washed her, they put her in [the] upper room.
38 Men efterdi Lydda var nær ved Joppe, udsendte Disciplene, da de hørte, at Peter var der, to Mænd til ham og bade ham: "Kom uden Tøven over til os!"
But Lydda being near to Joppa, the disciples having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, beseeching him, Thou must not delay coming to us.
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.
And Peter rising up went with them, whom, when arrived, they brought up into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping and shewing him the body-coats and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.
40 Men Peter bød dem alle at gå ud, og han faldt på Knæ og bad; og han vendte sig til det døde Legeme og sagde: "Tabitha, stå op!" Men hun oplod sine Øjne, og da hun så Peter, satte hun sig op.
But Peter, putting them all out, and kneeling down, prayed. And, turning to the body, he said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes, and, seeing Peter, sat up.
41 Men han gav hende Hånden og rejste hende op, og han kaldte på de hellige og Enkerne og fremstillede hende levende for dem.
And having given her [his] hand, he raised her up, and having called the saints and the widows, presented her living.
42 Men det blev vitterligt over hele Joppe, og mange troede på Herren.
And it became known throughout the whole of Joppa, and many believed on the Lord.

And it came to pass that he remained many days in Joppa with a certain Simon, a tanner.
