Acts 14
1 And it came to pass in Iconium that they together entered into the synagogue of the Jews, and so spake that there believed, both of Jews and Greeks, a great throng.
Men det skete i Ikonium, at de sammen gik ind i Jødernes Synagoge og talte saaledes, at en stor Mængde, baade af Jøder og Grækere, troede.
2 But, the unpersuaded Jews, roused up and provoked the souls of them of the nations against the brethren.
Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
3 A good while, therefore, tarried they, using boldness of speech [in dependence] upon the Lord, who was bearing witness unto his word of favour, granting signs and wonders to be coming to pass through their hands.
De opholdt sig nu en Tid lang der og talte med Frimodighed i Herren, som gav sin Naades Ord Vidnesbyrd, idet han lod Tegn og Undere ske ved deres Hænder.
4 And the throng of the city was divided; and some indeed were with the Jews, while some were with the apostles.
Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
5 But, when there took place an assault both of them of the nations and of the Jews, with their rulers, to maltreat and to stone them,
Men da der blev et Opløb, baade af Hedningerne og Jøderne med samt deres Raadsherrer, for at mishandle og stene dem,
6 They became aware of it, and fled unto the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding country;
og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
7 And, there, were they announcing the glad tidings.
og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
8 And, a certain man in Lystra, impotent in his feet, was sitting, —lame from his mother’s womb, who never had walked.
Og i Lystra sad der en Mand, som var kraftesløs i Fødderne, lam fra Moders Liv, og han havde aldrig gaaet.
9 This man, hearkened unto Paul, as he was speaking, —who, looking steadfastly at him, and seeing he had faith to be made well,
Han hørte Paulus tale; og da denne fæstede Øjet paa ham og saa, at han havde Tro til at frelses, sagde han med høj Røst:
10 Said, with a loud voice—Stand up on thy feet, erect! And he sprang up, and began to walk about.
„Staa ret op paa dine Fødder!‟ Og han sprang op og gik omkring.
11 And, the multitudes, seeing what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, in the speech of Lycaonia—The gods, made like unto men, have come down unto us!
Men da Skarerne saa, hvad Paulus havde gjort, opløftede de deres Røst og sagde paa Lykaonisk: „Guderne ere i menneskelig Skikkelse stegne ned til os.‟
12 And they went on to call Barnabas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercury, seeing that, he, was the leader of discourse.
Og de kaldte Barnabas Zeus, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
13 Also, the priest of the Jupiter that was before the city, bringing bulls and garlands unto the gates, with the multitudes, would have offered sacrifice.
Men Præsten ved Zeustemplet, som var uden for Byen, bragte Tyre og Kranse hen til Portene og vilde ofre tillige med Skarerne.
14 But the apostles Barnabas and Paul, hearing of it, rending asunder their own mantles, sprang forward amidst the multitude, crying aloud,
Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
15 and saying—Men! Why, these things, are ye doing? We also, of like nature with you, are men, bringing you the good news, that from these vain things, ye should be turning unto a living God: —Who made heaven and the earth and the sea and all things therein;
raabte og sagde: „I Mænd! hvorfor gøre I dette? Vi ere ogsaa Mennesker, lige Kaar undergivne med eder, og vi forkynde eder Evangeliet om at vende om fra disse tomme Ting til den levende Gud, som har gjort Himmelen og Jorden og Havet og alt, hvad der er i dem;
16 Who in the bygone generations suffered all the nations to be going on in their own ways, —
han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
17 Although, not without witness, he left himself, doing good, from heaven, upon you, giving rain and fruitful seasons, filling, with food and gladness, your hearts.
ihvorvel han ikke lod sig selv være uden Vidnesbyrd, idet han gjorde godt og gav eder Regn og frugtbare Tider fra Himmelen og mættede eders Hjerter med Føde og Glæde.‟
18 Even these things, saying, scarcely restrained they the multitudes from offering sacrifice unto them.
Og det var med Nød og næppe, at de ved at sige dette afholdt Skarerne fra at ofre til dem.
19 But there came thither, from Antioch and Iconium, Jews, and, persuading the multitudes, and stoning Paul, they dragged him outside the city, supposing him to be dead.
Men der kom Jøder til fra Antiokia og Ikonium, og de overtalte Skarerne og stenede Paulus og slæbte ham uden for Byen i den Tro, at han var død.
20 Howbeit, the disciples surrounding him, he rose up, and entered into the city. And, on the morrow, he went forth, with Barnabas, unto Derbe.
Men da Disciplene omringede ham, stod han op og gik ind i Byen. Og den næste Dag gik han med Barnabas bort til Derbe.
21 Delivering the good news unto that city also, and making a good number of disciples, they returned unto Lystra, and unto Iconium, and unto Antioch, —
Og da de havde forkyndt Evangeliet i denne By og vundet mange Disciple, vendte de tilbage til Lystra og Ikonium og Antiokia
22 confirming the souls of the disciples, beseeching them to abide in the faith, and [declaring] that, through many tribulations, must we enter into the kingdom of God.
og styrkede Disciplenes Sjæle og paamindede dem om at blive i Troen og om, at vi maa igennem mange Trængsler indgaa i Guds Rige.
23 Moreover, appointing unto them by vote, in each assembly, elders, praying with fastings, they commended them unto the Lord on whom they had believed.
Men efter at de i hver Menighed havde udvalgt Ældste for dem, overgave de dem under Bøn og Faste til Herren, hvem de havde givet deres Tro.
24 And, passing through Pisidia, they came into Pamphylia;
Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
25 and, speaking in Perga the word, they came down unto Attalia;
Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
26 and, from thence, they set sail for Antioch, whence they had been given up unto the favour of God for the work which they had fulfilled.
Og derfra sejlede de til Antiokia, hvorfra de vare blevne overgivne til Guds Naade til den Gerning, som de havde fuldbragt.
27 And, when they had arrived and gathered together the assembly, they began recounting how many things God had done with them, and that he had opened, unto the nations, a door of faith.
Men da de kom derhen og havde forsamlet Menigheden, forkyndte de, hvor store Ting Gud havde gjort med dem, og at han havde aabnet en Troens Dør for Hedningerne.
28 And they spent no little time with the disciples.
Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
