Romerne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
which he formerly promised through his prophets in the holy scriptures,
3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the posterity of David according to the flesh,
4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Ånd ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
but declared to be the Son of God with power, according to his holy spiritual nature, by his resurrection from the dead,
5 ved hvem vi have fået Nåde og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
through whom we have received grace and apostleship, in order to the obedience of faith among all nations, for the honor of his name,
6 iblandt hvilke også I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
among whom are you also the called of Jesus Christ,
7 Til alle Guds elskede, som ere i Rom, kaldede hellige. Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
to all that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
First, I thank my God, through Jesus Christ, on account of you all, because your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
9 Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Ånd tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that, without ceasing, I make mention of you,
10 idet jeg bestandig i mine Bønner beder om, at jeg dog endelig engang måtte få Lykke til Ved Guds Villie at komme til eder.
always in my prayers making request, that, if possible, I may at length have a prosperous journey, by the will of God to come to you.
11 Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen åndelig Nådegave, for at I måtte styrkes,
For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, in order that you may be established;
12 det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, både eders og min.
that is, that I may both give and receive comfort, while I am among you, through our common faith.
13 Og jeg vil ikke, Brødre! at I skulle være uvidende om, at jeg ofte har sat mig for at komme til eder (men hidindtil er jeg bleven forhindret), for at jeg måtte få nogen Frugt også iblandt eder, ligesom iblandt de øvrige Hedninger.
But, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered to the present time, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.
14 Både til Grækere og Barbarer, både til vise og uforstandige står jeg i Gæld.
I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians; both to the wise and to the unwise.
15 således er jeg, hvad mig angår, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet også for eder, som ere i Rom.
So that, as far as I am able, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also, who are in Rome.
16 Thi jeg skammer mig ikke ved Evangeliet; thi det er en Guds Kraft til Frelse for hver den, som tror, både for Jøde først og for Græker.
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel: for it is the power of God in order to salvation, to every one that believes, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 Thi deri åbenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: "Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro."
For in it the righteousness of God by faith is revealed, in order to faith: as it is written, He that is justified by faith, shall live.
18 Thi Guds Vrede åbenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who, by unrighteousness, restrain the truth.
19 thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er åbenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo åbenbaret dem det.
Because that which may be known of God, is manifest among them; for God has made it manifest to them,
20 Thi hans usynlige Væsen, både hans evige Kraft og Guddommelighed, skues fra Verdens Skabelse af, idet det forstås af hans Gerninger, så at de have ingen Undskyldning. (aïdios g126)
(for, since the creation of the world, his attributes, which are invisible, are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, ) that they may be without excuse; (aïdios g126)
21 Thi skønt de kendte Gud, så ærede eller takkede de ham dog ikke som Gud, men bleve tåbelige i deres Tanker, og deres uforstandige Hjerte blev formørket.
because, when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful; but they became perverse in their reasonings, and their wicked heart was darkened;
22 Idet de påstode at være vise, bleve de Dårer
professing to be wise, they became foolish,
23 og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende dyr.
and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things.
24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
For which reason God delivered them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, that they might dishonor their bodies among themselves;
25 de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi både deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
For this reason, God delivered them over to vile passions: for their females exchanged their natural use for that which is against nature:
27 og ligeså forlode også Mændene den naturlige Omgang med Kvinden og optændtes ideres Brynde efter hverandre, så at Mænd øvede Uterlighed med Mænd og fik deres Vildfarelses Løn, som det burde sig, på sig selv.
and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural use of the females, burned in their lusts one toward another, males with males practicing infamous lewdness, and receiving in themselves the due reward of their error.
28 Og ligesom de forkastede af have Gud i Erkendelse, således gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
And as they refused to acknowledge God, God delivered them up to an undiscerning mind, to do detestable things;
29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
as they were filled with all unrighteousness, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity;
30 Øretudere, Bagvaskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige; Pralere, opfindsomme på ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
whisperers, evil-speakers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents;
31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
32 - hvilke jo, skønt de erkende Guds retfærdige Dom, at de, der øve sådanne Ting, fortjene Døden, dog ikke alene gøre det, men også give dem, som øve det, deres Bifald.
who, acknowledging the judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but approve those who practice them.
