Romans 1
1 Paul, a bondman of Jesus Christ, a called apostle having been separated for the good news of God
Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
2 (which he fore-promised through his prophets in the holy scriptures)
hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
3 concerning his Son who was made from the seed of David according to flesh.
om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
4 He who was designated Son of God in power, according to a spirit of holiness, from a resurrection of the dead-Jesus Christ our Lord-
kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Ånd ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations on behalf of his name,
ved hvem vi have fået Nåde og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
6 among which ye also are the called of Jesus Christ.
iblandt hvilke også I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
7 To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, to the called, to the sanctified: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
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!
8 First, I indeed express thanks to my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed in the whole world.
Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
9 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,
Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Ånd tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
10 pleading, if somehow now at last I will have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come to you.
idet jeg bestandig i mine Bønner beder om, at jeg dog endelig engang måtte få Lykke til Ved Guds Villie at komme til eder.
11 For I long to see you, so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, in order to establish you,
Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen åndelig Nådegave, for at I måtte styrkes,
12 and that is, to be mutually encouraged among you through each other's faith, both yours and mine.
det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, både eders og min.
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that I often intended to come to you (and was prevented until now), so that I might have some fruit also among you, even as among the other Gentiles.
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.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Både til Grækere og Barbarer, både til vise og uforstandige står jeg i Gæld.
15 So the willingness is in me to preach the good news also to you in Rome.
således er jeg, hvad mig angår, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet også for eder, som ere i Rom.
16 For I am not ashamed of the good news of Christ, for it is the power of God for salvation to every man who believes, both to the Jew first, and to the Greek.
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.
17 For the righteousness of God is revealed in it from faith for faith, just as it is written, And the righteous man will live from faith.
Thi deri åbenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: "Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro."
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all irreverence and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Thi Guds Vrede åbenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
19 because what is knowable of God is apparent in them, for God made it known to them.
thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er åbenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo åbenbaret dem det.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things made, both his eternal power and divinity, for them to be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
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)
21 Because, although knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful, but became vain in their reasonings and their heart was darkened without understanding.
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.
22 Professing to be wise, they became foolish,
Idet de påstode at være vise, bleve de Dårer
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image like corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed things, and creeping things.
og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende dyr.
24 And for this reason God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to degrade their bodies among themselves,
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
25 who changed the truth of God into the lie, and worshiped and served the creation against him who created it, who is blessed into the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Because of this God gave them up to shameful passions, for even their females changed the natural use into what is against nature.
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi både deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
27 And likewise also the males, having left the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward each other, males with males producing shamelessness, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their deviancy that was fitting.
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.
28 And just as they did not approve having God in knowledge, God gave them over to an unfit mind, to do things that are not fit;
Og ligesom de forkastede af have Gud i Erkendelse, således gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity;
opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
30 being gossips, slanderous, God-hating, aggressors, arrogant boasters, contrivers of evil things, disobedient to parents;
Øretudere, Bagvaskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige; Pralere, opfindsomme på ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
31 without understanding, untrustworthy, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.
uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
32 Who, knowing the righteousness of God, that those who commit such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but also favor those who do.
- 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.
