Romerne 15

1 Men vi, som ere stærke, bør bære de svages Skrøbeligheder og ikke være os selv til Behag.

But we who are stronger must bear with the feebleness of the weak, and not so as to please ourselves.

2 Enhver af os være sin Næste til Behag til det gode, til Opbyggelse.

Each one of you should please his neighbor unto good, for edification.

3 Thi også Kristus var ikke sig selv til Behag; men, som der er skrevet: "Deres Forhånelser, som håne dig, ere faldne på mig."

For even Christ did not please himself, but as it was written: “The reproaches of those who reproached you fell upon me.”

4 Thi alt, hvad der er skrevet tilforn, det er skrevet til vor Belæring, for at vi skulle have Håbet ved Udholdenheden og Skrifternes Trøst.

For whatever was written, was written to teach us, so that, through patience and the consolation of the Scriptures, we might have hope.

5 Men Udholdenhedensog Trøstens Gud give eder at være enige indbyrdes, som Kristus Jesus vil det,

So may the God of patience and solace grant you to be of one mind toward one another, in accord with Jesus Christ,

6 for at I endrægtigt med een Mund kunne prise Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader.

so that, together with one mouth, you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

7 Derfor tager eder af hverandre, ligesom også Kristus har taget sig af os, til Guds Ære.

For this reason, accept one another, just as Christ also has accepted you, in the honor of God.

8 Jeg siger nemlig, at Kristus er bleven Tjener for omskårne for Guds Sanddruheds Skyld for at stadfæste Forjættelserne til Fædrene;

For I declare that Christ Jesus was the minister of circumcision because of the truth of God, so as to confirm the promises to the fathers,

9 men at Hedningerne skulle prise Gud for hans Barmhjertigheds Skyld, som der er skrevet: "Derfor vil jeg bekende dig iblandt Hedninger og lovsynge dit Navn,"

and that the Gentiles are to honor God because of his mercy, just as it was written: “Because of this, I will confess you among the Gentiles, O Lord, and I will sing to your name.”

10 Og atter siges der: "Fryder eder, I Hedninger, med hans Folk!"

And again, he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, along with his people.”

11 Og atter: "Lover Herren, alle Hedninger, og alle Folkene skulle prise ham."

And again: “All Gentiles, praise the Lord; and all peoples, magnify him.”

12 Og atter siger Esajas: "Komme skal Isajs Rodskud og han, der rejser sig for at herske over Hedninger; på ham skulle Hedninger håbe."

And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse, and he shall rise up to rule the Gentiles, and in him the Gentiles shall hope.”

13 Men Håbets Gud fylde eder med al Glæde og Fred, idet I tro, for at I må blive rige i Håbet ved den Helligånds Kraft!

So may the God of hope fill you with every joy and with peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope and in the virtue of the Holy Spirit.

14 Men også jeg, mine Brødre! har selv den Forvisning om eder, at I også selv ere fulde af Godhed, fyldte med al Kundskab, i Stand til også at påminde hverandre.

But I am also certain about you, my brothers, that you also have been filled with love, completed with all knowledge, so that you are able to admonish one another.

15 Dog har jeg for en Del tilskrevet eder noget dristigere for at påminde eder på Grund af den Nåde, som er given mig fra Gud

But I have written to you, brothers, more boldly than to the others, as if calling you to mind again, because of the grace which has been given to me from God,

16 til iblandt Hedningerne at være en Kristi Jesu Offertjener, der som Præst betjener Guds Evangelium, for at Hedningerne må blive et velbehageligt Offer, helliget ved den Helligånd.

so that I may be a minister of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles, sanctifying the Gospel of God, in order that the oblation of the Gentiles may be made acceptable and may be sanctified in the Holy Spirit.

17 Således har jeg min Ros i Kristus Jesus af min Tjeneste for Gud.

Therefore, I have glory in Christ Jesus before God.

18 Thi jeg vil ikke driste mig til at tale om noget af det, som Kristus ikke har udført ved mig til at virke Hedningers Lydighed, ved Ord og Handling,

So I dare not speak of any of those things which Christ does not effect through me, unto the obedience of the Gentiles, in word and deed,

19 ved Tegns og Undergerningers Kraft, ved Guds Ånds Kraft, så at jeg fra Jerusalem og trindt omkring indtil Illyrien har til fulde forkyndt Kristi Evangelium;

with the power of signs and wonders, by power of the Holy Spirit. For in this way, from Jerusalem, throughout its surroundings, as far as Illyricum, I have replenished the Gospel of Christ.

20 dog således, at jeg sætter min Ære i at forkynde Evangeliet ikke der, hvor Kristus er nævnet, for at jeg, ikke skal bygge på en andens Grundvold,

And so I have preached this Gospel, not where Christ was known by name, lest I build upon the foundation of another,

21 men, som der er skrevet: "De, for hvem der ikke blev kundgjort om ham, skulle se, og de, som ikke have hørt, skulle forstå."

but just as it was written: “Those to whom he was not announced shall perceive, and those who have not heard shall understand.”

22 Derfor er jeg også de mange Gange bleven forhindret i at komme til eder.

Because of this also, I was greatly hindered in coming to you, and I have been prevented until the present time.

23 Men nu, da jeg ikke mere har Rum i disse Egne og i mange År har haft Længsel efter at komme til eder,

Yet truly now, having no other destination in these regions, and having already had a great desire to come to you over the past many years,

24 vil jeg, når jeg rejser til Spanien, komme til eder; thi jeg håber at se eder på Gennemrejsen og af eder at blive befordret derhen, når jeg først i nogen Måde er bleven tilfredsstillet hos eder.

when I begin to set out on my journey to Spain, I hope that, as I pass by, I may see you, and I may be guided from there by you, after first having borne some fruit among you.

25 Men nu rejser jeg til Jerusalem i Tjeneste for de hellige.

But next I will set out for Jerusalem, to minister to the saints.

26 Thi Makedonien og Akaja have fundet Glæde i at gøre et Sammenskud til de fattige iblandt de hellige i Jerusalem.

For those of Macedonia and Achaia have decided to make a collection for those of the poor among the saints who are at Jerusalem.

27 De have nemlig fundet Glæde deri, og de ere deres Skyldnere. Thi ere Hedningerne blevne delagtige i hines åndelige Goder, da ere de også skyldige at tjene dem med de timelige.

And this has pleased them, because they are in their debt. For, since the Gentiles have become partakers of their spiritual things, they also ought to minister to them in worldly things.

28 Når jeg da har fuldbragt dette og beseglet denne Frugt for dem, vil jeg derfra drage om ad eder til Spanien.

Therefore, when I have completed this task, and have consigned to them this fruit, I shall set out, by way of you, to Spain.

29 Men jeg ved, at når jeg kommer til eder, skal jeg komme med Kristi Velsignelses Fylde.

And I know that when I come to you I shall arrive with an abundance of the blessings of the Gospel of Christ.

30 Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre! ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus og ved Åndens Kærlighed til med mig at stride i eders Bønner for mig til Gud,

Therefore, I beg you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ and through the love of the Holy Spirit, that you assist me with your prayers to God on my behalf,

31 for at jeg må udfries fra de genstridige i Judæa, og mit Ærinde til Jerusalem må blive de hellige kærkomment,

so that I may be freed from the unfaithful who are in Judea, and so that the oblation of my service may be acceptable to the saints in Jerusalem.

32 for at jeg kan komme til eder med Glæde, ved Guds Villie, og vederkvæges med eder.

So may I come to you with joy, through the will of God, and so may I be refreshed with you.

33 Men Fredens Gud være med eder alle! Amen.

And may the God of peace be with you all. Amen.
