Acts 14
1 In Iconium, they entered together into the Jewish synagogue, and so spoke that a great multitude both of Jews and of Greeks believed.
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 disbelieving Jews stirred up and embittered the souls of the Gentiles against the brothers.
Men de Jøder, som vare genstridige, ophidsede Hedningernes Sind og satte ondt i dem imod Brødrene.
3 Therefore they stayed there a long time, speaking boldly in the Lord, who testified to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by 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 But the multitude of the city was divided. Part sided with the Jews and part with the emissaries.
Men Mængden i Byen blev uenig, og nogle holdt med Jøderne, andre med Apostlene.
5 When some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and 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 to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region.
og de fik dette at vide, flygtede de bort til Byerne i Lykaonien, Lystra og Derbe, og til det omliggende Land,
7 There they preached the Good News.
og der forkyndte de Evangeliet.
8 At Lystra a certain man sat, impotent in his feet, a cripple 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 He was listening to Paul speaking, who, fastening eyes on him and seeing that he had faith to be made whole,
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 upright on your feet!” He leapt up and walked.
„Staa ret op paa dine Fødder!‟ Og han sprang op og gik omkring.
11 When the multitude saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”
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 They called Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, because he was the chief speaker.
Og de kaldte Barnabas Zeus, men Paulus Hermes, fordi han var den, som førte Ordet.
13 The priest of Jupiter, whose temple was in front of their city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates, and would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes.
Men Præsten ved Zeustemplet, som var uden for Byen, bragte Tyre og Kranse hen til Portene og vilde ofre tillige med Skarerne.
14 But when the emissaries, Barnabas and Paul, heard of it, they tore their clothes and sprang into the multitude, crying out,
Men da Apostlene, Barnabas og Paulus, hørte dette, sønderreve de deres Klæder og sprang ind i Skaren,
15 “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men of the same nature as you, and bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to the living God, who made the sky, the earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
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 generations gone by allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways.
han, som i de forbigangne Tider lod alle Hedningerne vandre deres egne Veje,
17 Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”
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 saying these things, they hardly stopped the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them.
Og det var med Nød og næppe, at de ved at sige dette afholdt Skarerne fra at ofre til dem.
19 But some Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there, and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing that he was 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 But as the disciples stood around him, he rose up, and entered into the city. On the next day he went out with Barnabas to 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 When they had preached the Good News to that city and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch,
Og da de havde forkyndt Evangeliet i denne By og vundet mange Disciple, vendte de tilbage til Lystra og Ikonium og Antiokia
22 strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many afflictions we must enter into God’s Kingdom.
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 When they had appointed elders for them in every assembly, and had prayed with fasting, they commended them to 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 They passed through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.
Og de droge igennem Pisidien og kom til Pamfylien.
25 When they had spoken the word in Perga, they went down to Attalia.
Og da de havde talt Ordet i Perge, droge de ned til Attalia.
26 From there they sailed to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace 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 When they had arrived and had gathered the assembly together, they reported all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations.
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 They stayed there with the disciples for a long time.
Men de opholdt sig en ikke liden Tid sammen med Disciplene.
