Romans 2
1 Therefore you are without excuse, O man, whoever you are who judge. For in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself. For you who judge practice the same things.
Derfor er du uden Undskyldning, o Menneske! hvem du end er, som dømmer; thi idet du dømmer den anden, fordømmer du dig selv; thi du, som dømmer, øver det samme.
2 We know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things.
Vi vide jo, at Guds Dom er, stemmende med Sandhed, over dem, som øve saadanne Ting.
3 Do you think this, O man who judges those who practice such things, and do the same, that you will escape the judgment of God?
Men du, o Menneske! som dømmer dem, der øve saadanne Ting, og selv gør dem, mener du dette, at du skal undfly Guds Dom?
4 Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?
Eller foragter du hans Godheds og Taalmodigheds og Langmodigheds Rigdom og ved ikke, at Guds Godhed leder dig til Omvendelse?
5 But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath, revelation, and of the righteous judgment of God,
Men efter din Haardhed og dit ubodfærdige Hjerte samler du dig selv Vrede paa Vredens og Guds retfærdige Doms Aabenbarelses Dag,
6 who “will pay back to everyone according to their works:”
han, som vil betale enhver efter hans Gerninger:
7 to those who by perseverance in well-doing seek for glory, honor, and incorruptibility, eternal life; (aiōnios g166)
dem, som med Udholdenhed i god Gerning søge Ære og Hæder og Uforkrænkelighed, et evigt Liv; (aiōnios g166)
8 but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,
men over dem, som søge deres eget og ikke lyde Sandheden, men adlyde Uretfærdigheden, skal der komme Vrede og Harme.
9 oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
Trængsel og Angest over hvert Menneskes Sjæl, som øver det onde, baade en Jødes først og en Grækers;
10 But glory, honor, and peace go to every man who does good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
men Ære og Hæder og Fred over hver den, som gør det gode, baade en Jøde først og en Græker!
11 For there is no partiality with God.
Thi der er ikke Persons Anseelse hos Gud.
12 For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.
Thi alle de, som have syndet uden Loven, de skulle ogsaa fortabes uden Loven; og alle de, som have syndet under Loven, de skulle dømmes ved Loven;
13 For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified
thi ikke Lovens Hørere ere retfærdige for Gud, men Lovens Gørere skulle retfærdiggøres —
14 (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves,
thi naar Hedninger, som ikke have Loven, af Naturen gøre, hvad Loven kræver, da ere disse, uden at have Loven, sig selv en Lov;
15 in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them)
de vise jo Lovens Gerning skreven i deres Hjerter, idet deres Samvittighed vidner med, og Tankerne indbyrdes anklage eller ogsaa forsvare hverandre —
16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.
paa den Dag, da Gud vil dømme Menneskenes skjulte Færd ifølge mit Evangelium ved Jesus Kristus.
17 Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,
Men naar du kalder dig Jøde og forlader dig trygt paa Loven og roser dig af Gud
18 know his will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,
og kender hans Villie og værdsætter de forskellige Ting, idet du undervises af Loven,
19 and are confident that you yourself are a guide of the blind, a light to those who are in darkness,
og trøster dig til at være blindes Vejleder, et Lys for dem, som ere i Mørke,
20 a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of babies, having in the law the form of knowledge and of the truth.
uforstandiges Opdrager, umyndiges Lærer, idet du i Loven har Udtrykket for Erkendelsen og Sandheden, —
21 You therefore who teach another, don’t you teach yourself? You who preach that a man shouldn’t steal, do you steal?
du altsaa, som lærer andre, du lærer ikke dig selv! Du, som prædiker, at man ikke maa stjæle, du stjæler!
22 You who say a man shouldn’t commit adultery, do you commit adultery? You who abhor idols, do you rob temples?
Du, som siger, at man ikke maa bedrive Hor, du bedriver Hor! Du, som føler Afsky for Afguderne, du øver Tempelran!
23 You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?
Du, som roser dig af Loven, du vanærer Gud ved Overtrædelse af Loven!
24 For “the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles because of you,” just as it is written.
Thi „for eders Skyld bespottes Guds Navn iblandt Hedningerne‟, som der er skrevet.
25 For circumcision indeed profits, if you are a doer of the law, but if you are a transgressor of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.
Thi vel gavner Omskærelse, om du holder Loven; men er du Lovens Overtræder, da er din Omskærelse bleven til Forhud.
26 If therefore the uncircumcised keep the ordinances of the law, won’t his uncircumcision be accounted as circumcision?
Dersom nu Forhuden holder Lovens Forskrifter, vil da ikke hans Forhud blive regnet som Omskærelse?
27 Won’t those who are physically uncircumcised, but fulfill the law, judge you, who with the letter and circumcision are a transgressor of the law?
Og naar den af Natur uomskaarne opfylder Loven, skal han dømme dig, som med Bogstav og Omskærelse er Lovens Overtræder.
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, neither is that circumcision which is outward in the flesh;
Thi ikke den er Jøde, som er det i det udvortes, ej heller er det Omskærelse, som sker i det udvortes, i Kød;
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly, and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.
men den, som indvortes er Jøde, og Hjertets Omskærelse i Aand, ikke i Bogstav — hans Ros er ikke af Mennesker, men af Gud.
