Acts 10 (DA31) · Opened

1Men en Mand i Kæsarea ved Navn Kornelius, en Høvedsmand ved den Afdeling, som kaldes den italienske,At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was called the Italian Regiment.

2en from Mand, der frygtede Gud tillige med hele sit Hus og gav Folket mange Almisser og altid bad til Gud,He and all his household were devout and God-fearing. He gave generously to the people and prayed to God regularly.

3han så klarlig i et Syn omtrent ved den niende Time på Dagen en Guds Engel, som kom ind til ham og sagde til ham: “Kornelius!”One day at about the ninth hour, he had a clear vision of an angel of God who came to him and said, “Cornelius!”

4Men han stirrede på ham og blev forfærdet og sagde: “Hvad er det, Herre?” Han sagde til ham: “Dine Bønner og dine Almisser ere opstegne til Ihukommelse for Gud.Cornelius stared at him in fear and asked, “What is it, Lord?” The angel answered, “Your prayers and gifts to the poor have ascended as a memorial offering before God.

5Og send nu nogle Mænd til Joppe, og lad hente en vis Simon med Tilnavn Peter.Now send men to Joppa to call for a man named Simon who is called Peter.

6Han har Herberge hos en vis Simon, en Garver, hvis Hus er ved Havet.”He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea.”

7Men da Engelen, som talte til ham, var gået bort, kaldte han to af sine Husfolk og en gudfrygtig Stridsmand af dem, som stadig vare om ham.When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier from among his attendants.

8Og han fortalte dem det alt sammen og sendte dem til Joppe.He explained what had happened and sent them to Joppa.

9Men den næste Dag, da disse vare undervejs og nærmede sig til Byen, steg Peter op på Taget for at bede ved den sjette Time.The next day at about the sixth hour, as the men were approaching the city on their journey, Peter went up on the roof to pray.

10Og han blev meget hungrig og vilde have noget at spise; men medens de lavede det til, kom der en Henrykkelse over ham,He became hungry and wanted something to eat, but while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.

11og han så Himmelen åbnet og noget, der dalede ned, ligesom en stor Dug, der ved de fire Hjørner sænkedes ned på Jorden;He saw heaven open and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners.

12og i denne var der alle Jordens firføddede Dyr og krybende Dyr og Himmelens Fugle.It contained all kinds of four-footed animals and reptiles of the earth, as well as birds of the air.

13Og en Røst lød til ham: “Stå op, Peter, slagt og spis!”Then a voice said to him: “Get up, Peter, kill and eat!”

14Men Peter sagde: “Ingenlunde, Herre! thi aldrig har jeg spist noget vanhelligt og urent.”“No, Lord!” Peter answered. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”

15Og atter for anden Gang lød der en Røst til ham: “Hvad Gud har renset, holde du ikke for vanhelligt!”The voice spoke to him a second time: “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.”

16Og dette skete tre Gange, og straks blev dugen igen optagen til Himmelen.This happened three times, and all at once the sheet was taken back up into heaven.

17Men medens Peter var tvivlrådig med sig selv om, hvad det Syn, som han havde set, måtte betyde, se, da havde de Mænd, som vare udsendte af Kornelius, opspurgt Simons Hus og stode for Porten.While Peter was puzzling over the meaning of the vision, the men sent by Cornelius found Simon’s house and approached the gate.

18Og de råbte og spurgte, om Simon med Tilnavn Peter havde Herberge der.They called out to ask if Simon called Peter was staying there.

19Men idet Peter grublede over Synet, sagde Ånden til ham: “Se, der er tre Mænd, som søge efter dig;As Peter continued to reflect on the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Behold, three men are looking for you.

20men stå op, stig ned, og drag med dem uden at tvivle; thi det er mig, som har sendt dem.”So get up! Go downstairs and accompany them without hesitation, because I have sent them.”

21Så steg Peter ned til Mændene og sagde: “Se, jeg er den, som I søge efter; hvad er Årsagen, hvorfor I ere komne?”So Peter went down to the men and said, “Here am I, the one you are looking for. Why have you come?”

22Men de sagde: “Høvedsmanden Kornelius, en retfærdig og gudfrygtig Mand, som har godt Vidnesbyrd af hele Jødernes Folk, har at en hellig Engel fået Befaling fra Gud til at lade dig hente til sit Hus og høre, hvad du har at sige.”“Cornelius the centurion has sent us,” they said. “He is a righteous and God-fearing man with a good reputation among the whole Jewish nation. A holy angel instructed him to request your presence in his home so he could hear a message from you.”

23Da kaldte han dem ind og gav dem Herberge. Men den næste Dag stod han op og drog bort med dem, og nogle af Brødrene fra Joppe droge med ham.So Peter invited them in as his guests. And the next day he got ready and went with them, accompanied by some of the brothers from Joppa.

24Og den følgende Dag kom de til Kæsarea. Men Kornelius ventede på dem og havde sammenkaldt sine Frænder og nærmeste Venner.The following day he arrived in Caesarea, where Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends.

25Men da det nu skete, at Peter kom ind, gik Kornelius ham i Møde og faldt ned for hans Fødder og tilbad ham.As Peter was about to enter, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet to worship him.

26Men Peter rejste ham op og sagde: “Stå op! også jeg er selv et Menneske.”But Peter helped him up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”

27Og under Samtale med ham gik han ind og fandt mange samlede.As Peter talked with him, he went inside and found many people gathered together.

28Og han sagde til dem: “I vide, hvor utilbørligt det er for en jødisk Mand at omgås med eller komne til nogen, som er af et fremmede Folk; men mig har Gud vist, at jeg ikke skulde kalde noget Menneske vanhelligt eller urent.He said to them, “You know how unlawful it is for a Jew to associate with a foreigner or visit him. But God has shown me that I should not call any man impure or unclean.

29Derfor kom jeg også uden Indvending, da jeg blev hentet; og jeg spørger eder da, af hvad Årsag I hentede mig?”So when I was invited, I came without objection. I ask, then, why have you sent for me?”

30Og Kornelius sagde: “For fire Dage siden fastede jeg indtil denne Time, og ved den niende Time bad jeg i mit Hus; og se, en Mand stod for mig i et strålende Klædebon,Cornelius answered: “Four days ago I was in my house praying at this, the ninth hour. Suddenly a man in radiant clothing stood before me

31og han sagde: Kornelius! din Bøn er hørt, og dine Almisser ere ihukommede for Gud.and said, ‘Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your gifts to the poor have been remembered before God.

32Send derfor Bud til Joppe og lad Simon med Tilnavn Peter kalde, til dig; han har Herberge i Garveren Simons Hus ved Havet; han skal tale til dig, når han kommer.Therefore send to Joppa for Simon, who is called Peter. He is a guest in the home of Simon the tanner, by the sea.’

33Derfor sendte jeg straks Bud til dig, og du gjorde vel i at komme. Nu ere vi derfor alle til Stede for Guds Åsyn for at høre alt, hvad der er dig befalet af Herren.”So I sent for you immediately, and you were kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here in the presence of God to listen to everything the Lord has instructed you to tell us.”

34Men Peter oplod Munden og sagde: “Jeg forstår i Sandhed, at Gud ikke anser Personer;Then Peter began to speak: “I now truly understand that God does not show favoritism,

35men i hvert Folk er den, som frygter ham og gør Retfærdighed, velkommen for ham;but welcomes those from every nation who fear Him and do what is right.

36det Ord, som han sendte til Israels Børn, da han forkyndte Fred ved Jesus Kristus: han er alles Herre.He has sent this message to the people of Israel, proclaiming the gospel of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

37I kende det, som er udgået over hele Judæa, idet det begyndte fra Galilæa, efter den Dåb, som Johannes prædikede,You yourselves know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee with the baptism that John proclaimed:

38det om Jesus fra Nazareth, hvorledes Gud salvede ham med den Helligånd og Kraft, han, som drog omkring og gjorde vel og helbredte alle, som vare overvældede af Djævelen; thi Gud var med ham;how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him.

39og vi ere Vidner om alt det, som han har gjort både i Jødernes Land og i Jerusalem, han, som de også sloge ihjel, idet de hængte ham på et Træ.We are witnesses of all that He did, both in the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem. And although they put Him to death by hanging Him on a tree,

40Ham oprejste Gud på den tredje dag og gav ham at åbenbares,God raised Him up on the third day and caused Him to be seen—

41ikke for hele Folket, men for de Vidner, som vare forud udvalgte af Gud, for os, som spiste og drak med ham, efter at han var opstanden fra de døde.not by all the people, but by the witnesses God had chosen beforehand, by us who ate and drank with Him after He rose from the dead.

42Og han har påbudt os at prædike for Folket og at vidne, at han er den af Gud bestemte Dommer over levende og døde.And He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that He is the One appointed by God to judge the living and the dead.

43Ham give alle Profeterne det Vidnesbyrd, at enhver, som tror på ham, skal få Syndernes Forladelse ved hans Navn.”All the prophets testify about Him that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.”

44Medens Peter endnu talte disse Ord, faldt den Helligånd på alle dem, som hørte Ordet.While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard his message.

45Og de troende af Omskærelsen, så mange, som vare komne med Peter, bleve meget forbavsede over, af den Helligånds Gave var bleven udgydt også over Hedningerne;All the circumcised believers who had accompanied Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles.

46thi de hørte dem tale i Tunger og ophøje Gud.For they heard them speaking in tongues and exalting God. Then Peter said,

47Da svarede Peter: “Mon nogen kan formene disse Vandet; så de ikke skulde døbes, de, som dog havde fået den Helligånd lige så vel som vi?”“Can anyone withhold the water to baptize these people? They have received the Holy Spirit just as we have!”

48Og han befalede, af de skulde døbes i Jesu Kristi Navn. Da bade de ham om at blive der nogle Dage.So he ordered that they be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay for a few days.
