Galatians 1
1 Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
Paulus, Apostel, ikke af Mennesker, ikke heller ved noget Menneske, men ved Jesus Kristus og Gud Fader, som oprejste ham fra de døde,
2 and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
og alle Brødrene, som ere med mig, til Menighederne i Galatien:
3 Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud Fader og vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
4 who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; (aiōn g165)
som gav sig selv for vore Synder, for at han kunde udfri os af den nærværende onde Verden, efter vor Guds og Faders Villie, (aiōn g165)
ham være Æren i Evigheders Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
Jeg undrer mig over, at I så snart lade eder føre bort fra ham, som kaldte eder til Kristi Nåde, hen til et anderledes Evangelium;
7 which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
hvilket dog ikke er et andet, men det er kun nogle, som forvirre eder. og ville vende op og ned på Kristi Evangelium.
8 But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
Men selv om vi eller en Engel fra Himmelen forkynder eder Evangeliet anderledes; end vi have forkyndt eder det, han være en Forbandelse!
9 As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
Som vi før have sagt, så siger jeg nu igen: Dersom nogen forkynder eder Evangeliet anderledes, end I have modtaget det, han være en Forbandelse!
10 For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
Taler jeg da nu Mennesker til Villie, eller Gud? eller søger jeg at behage Mennesker? Dersom jeg endnu vilde behage Mennesker, da var jeg ikke en Kristi Tjener.
11 But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
12 For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
thi heller ikke jeg har modtaget det eller er bleven undervist derom af noget Menneske, men ved Åbenbarelse at Jesus Kristus.
13 For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
I have jo hørt om min Vandel forhen i Jødedommen, at jeg over al Måde forfulgte Guds Menighed og søgte at udrydde den.
14 and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
Og jeg gik videre i Jødedommen end mange jævnaldrende i mit Folk, idet jeg var langt mere nidkær for mine fædrene Overleveringer.
15 But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
Men da det behagede Gud, som fra min Moders Liv havde udtaget mig og havde kaldet mig ved sin Nåde,
16 was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
at åbenbare sin Søn i mig, for at jeg skulde forkynde Evangeliet om ham iblandt Hedningerne: da spurgte jeg straks ikke Kød og Blod til Råds,
17 nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
drog heller ikke op til Jerusalem, til dem, som før mig vare Apostle, men jeg drog bort til Arabien og vendte atter tilbage til Damaskus.
18 Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
Senere, tre År efter, drog jeg op til Jerusalem for at blive kendt med Kefas og blev hos ham i femten Dage.
19 but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
Men nogen anden af Apostlene så jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
20 Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
Men hvad jeg skriver til eder - se, for Guds Åsyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
21 Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
22 But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
23 only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
de hørte kun sige: Han, som forhen forfulgte os, forkynder nu Evangeliet om den Tro, som han forhen vilde udrydde;
24 and they glorified God in me.
og de priste Gud for mig.
