Romerne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Ånd ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 ved hvem vi have fået Nåde og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
6 iblandt hvilke også I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
among whom you are also called to belong to 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 who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace 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 for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed 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 in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
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.
requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered 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 long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end 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 with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
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.
Now I don’t desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
14 Både til Grækere og Barbarer, både til vise og uforstandige står jeg i Gæld.
I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 således er jeg, hvad mig angår, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet også for eder, som ere i Rom.
So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News 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 Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for 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 is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
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 suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
19 thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er åbenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo åbenbaret dem det.
because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it 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 the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting 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 knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
22 Idet de påstode at være vise, bleve de Dårer
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende dyr.
and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored 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 rather 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 gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into 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.
Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty 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,
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 Øretudere, Bagvaskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige; Pralere, opfindsomme på ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, 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, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
