¹Now in the assembly that was at Antioch there were some prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen the foster brother of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

¹Men 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.

²As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.”

²Medens de nu holdt Gudstjeneste og fastede, sagde den Helligånd: "Udtager mig Barnabas og Saulus til den Gerning, hvortil jeg har kaldet dem."

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

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

⁴So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia. From there they sailed to Cyprus.

⁴Da de nu således vare udsendte af den Helligånd, droge de ned til Seleukia og sejlede derfra til Kypern.

⁵When they were at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. They had also John as their attendant.

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

⁶When they had gone through the island to Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar Jesus,

⁶Og da de vare dragne igennem hele Øen indtil Pafus, fandt de en Troldkarl, en falsk Profet, en Jøde, hvis Navn var Barjesus.

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

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

⁸But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn aside the proconsul from the faith.

⁸Men Elimas, Troldkarlen, (thi dette betyder hans Navn), stod dem imod og søgte at vende Statholderen bort fra Troen.

⁹But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, fastened his eyes on him,

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

¹⁰and said, “Full of all deceit and all cunning, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?

¹⁰"O, du Djævelens Barn, fuld af al Svig og al Underfundighed, du Fjende af al Retfærdighed! vil du ikke holde op med at forvende Herrens de lige Veje?

¹¹Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind, not seeing the sun for a season!” Immediately a mist and darkness fell on him. He went around seeking someone to lead him by the hand.

¹¹Og 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.

¹²Then the proconsul, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the teaching of the Lord.

¹²Da Statholderen så det, som var sket, troede han, slagen af Forundring over Herrens Lære.

¹³Now Paul and his company set sail from Paphos, and came to Perga in Pamphylia. John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem.

¹³Paulus 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.

¹⁴But they, passing on from Perga, came to Antioch of Pisidia. They went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and sat down.

¹⁴Men de droge videre fra Perge og kom til Antiokia i Pisidien og gik ind i Synagogen på Sabbatsdagen og satte sig.

¹⁵After the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak.”

¹⁵Men 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!"

¹⁶Paul stood up, and beckoning with his hand said, “Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen.

¹⁶Men Paulus stod op og slog til Lyd med Hånden og sagde: "I israelitiske Mænd og I, som frygte Gud, hører til!

¹⁷The God of this people TR, NU add “Israel” chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they stayed as aliens in the land of Egypt, and with an uplifted arm, he led them out of it.

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

¹⁸For a period of about forty years he put up with them in the wilderness.

¹⁸Og omtrent fyrretyve År tålte han deres Færd i Ørkenen.

¹⁹When he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Canaan, he gave them their land for an inheritance, for about four hundred fifty years.

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

²⁰After these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet.

²⁰og derefter i omtrent fire Hundrede og halvtredsindstyve År gav han dem Dommere indtil Profeten Samuel.

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

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

²²When he had removed him, he raised up David to be their king, to whom he also testified, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my heart, who will do all my will.’

²²Og da han havde taget ham bort, oprejste han dem David til Konge, om hvem han også vidnede, og sagde: "Jeg har fundet David, Isajs Søn, en Mand efter mit Hjerte, som skal gøre al min Villie."

²³From this man’s seed, God has brought salvation TR, NU read “a Savior, Jesus” instead of “salvation” to Israel according to his promise,

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

²⁴before his coming, when John had first preached the baptism of repentance to Israel. TR, NU read “to all the people of Israel” instead of “to Israel”

²⁴efter at Johannes forud for hans Fremtræden havde prædiket Omvendelses-Dåb for hele Israels Folk.

²⁵As John was fulfilling his course, he said, ‘What do you suppose that I am? I am not he. But behold, one comes after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.’

²⁵Men 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."

²⁶Brothers, children of the stock of Abraham, and those among you who fear God, the word of this salvation is sent out to you.

²⁶I Mænd, Brødre, Sønner af Abrahams Slægt, og de iblandt eder, som frygte Gud! Til os er Ordet om denne Frelse sendt.

²⁷For those who dwell in Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they didn’t know him, nor the voices of the prophets which are read every Sabbath, fulfilled them by condemning him.

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

²⁸Though they found no cause for death, they still asked Pilate to have him killed.

²⁸Og om end de ingen Dødsskyld fandt hos ham, bade de dog Pilatus, at han måtte blive slået ihjel.

²⁹When they had fulfilled all things that were written about him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a tomb.

²⁹Men da de havde fuldbragt alle Ting, som ere skrevne om ham, toge de ham ned af Træet og lagde ham i en Grav.

³⁰But God raised him from the dead,

³⁰Men Gud oprejste ham fra de døde,

³¹and he was seen for many days by those who came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses to the people.

³¹og 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.

³²We bring you good news of the promise made to the fathers,

³²Og vi forkynde eder den Forjættelse, som blev given til Fædrene, at Gud har opfyldt denne for os, deres Børn, idet han oprejste Jesus;

³³that God has fulfilled the same to us, their children, in that he raised up Jesus. As it is also written in the second psalm, ‘You are my Son. Today I have become your father.’ Psalm 2:7

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

³⁴“Concerning that he raised him up from the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he has spoken thus: ‘I will give you the holy and sure blessings of David.’ Isaiah 55:3

³⁴Men at han har oprejst ham fra de døde, så at han ikke mere skal vende tilbage til Forrådnelse, derom har han sagt således: "Jeg vil give eder Davids hellige Forjættelser, de trofaste."

³⁵Therefore he says also in another psalm, ‘You will not allow your Holy One to see decay.’ Psalm 16:10

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

³⁶For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, and was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.

³⁶David sov jo hen, da han i sin Livstid havde tjent Guds Rådslutning, og han blev henlagt hos sine Fædre og så Forrådnelse;

³⁷But he whom God raised up saw no decay.

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

³⁸Be it known to you therefore, brothers The word for “brothers” here and where the context allows may also be correctly translated “brothers and sisters” or “siblings.” , that through this man is proclaimed to you remission of sins,

³⁸Så være det eder vitterligt, I Mænd, Brødre! at ved ham forkyndes der eder Syndernes Forladelse;

³⁹and by him everyone who believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

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

⁴⁰Beware therefore, lest that come on you which is spoken in the prophets:

⁴⁰Ser nu til, at ikke det, som er sagt ved Profeterne, kommer over eder:

⁴¹‘Behold, you scoffers, and wonder, and perish; for I work a work in your days, a work which you will in no way believe, if one declares it to you.’” Habakkuk 1:5

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."

⁴²So when the Jews went out of the synagogue, the Gentiles begged that these words might be preached to them the next Sabbath.

⁴²Men da de gik ud, bad man dem om, at disse Ord måtte blive talte til dem på den følgende Sabbat.

⁴³Now when the synagogue broke up, many of the Jews and of the devout proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas; who, speaking to them, urged them to continue in the grace of God.

⁴³Men 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.

⁴⁴The next Sabbath almost the whole city was gathered together to hear the word of God.

⁴⁴Men på den følgende Sabbat forsamledes næsten hele Byen for at høre Guds Ord.

⁴⁵But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with jealousy, and contradicted the things which were spoken by Paul, and blasphemed.

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

⁴⁶Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, and said, “It was necessary that God’s word should be spoken to you first. Since indeed you thrust it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we turn to the Gentiles.

⁴⁶Men Paulus og Barnabas talte frit ud og sagde: "Det var nødvendigt, at Guds Ord først skulde tales til eder; men efterdi I støde det fra eder og ikke agte eder selv værdige til det evige Liv, se, så vende vi os til Hedningerne.

⁴⁷For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, ‘I have set you as a light for the Gentiles, that you should bring salvation to the uttermost parts of the earth.’” Isaiah 49:6

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

⁴⁸As the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were appointed to eternal life believed.

⁴⁸Men da Hedningerne hørte dette, bleve de glade og priste Herrens Ord, og de troede, så mange, som vare bestemte til evigt Liv,

⁴⁹The Lord’s word was spread abroad throughout all the region.

⁴⁹og Herrens Ord udbredtes over hele Landet.

⁵⁰But the Jews stirred up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and threw them out of their borders.

⁵⁰Men Jøderne ophidsede de fornemme gudfrygtige Kvinder og de første Mænd i Byen; og de vakte en Forfølgelse imod Paulus og Barnabas og joge dem ud fra deres Grænser.

⁵¹But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came to Iconium.

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

⁵²The disciples were filled with joy with the Holy Spirit.

⁵²Men Disciplene bleve fyldte med Glæde og den Helligånd.
