Galatians 2
1 Then after a lapse of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus also with [me];
Senere, efter fjorten Års Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Brnabas og tog også Titus med.
2 and I went up according to revelation, and I laid before them the glad tidings which I preach among the nations, but privately to those conspicuous [among them], lest in any way I run or had run in vain;
Men jeg drog op ifølge en Åbenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, - om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
3 (but neither was Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, compelled to be circumcised; )
Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
4 and [it was] on account of the false brethren brought in surreptitiously, who came in surreptitiously to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage;
nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure på vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, that the truth of the glad tidings might remain with you.
For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed måtte blive varig hos eder.
6 But from those who were conspicuous as being somewhat — whatsoever they were, it makes no difference to me: God does not accept man's person; for to me those who were conspicuous communicated nothing;
Men fra deres Side, som ansås for at være noget, (hvordan de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke på et Menneskes Person; ) - over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
7 but, on the contrary, seeing that the glad tidings of the uncircumcision were confided to me, even as to Peter that of the circumcision,
Men tværtimod, da de så, at jeg har fået Evangeliet til de uomskårne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskårne,
8 (for he that wrought in Peter for [the] apostleship of the circumcision wrought also in me towards the Gentiles, )
(thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskårne, gav også mig Kaft dertil for Hedningerne; )
9 and recognising the grace given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were conspicuous as being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas [the] right hands of fellowship, that we [should go] to the nations, and they to the circumcision;
og da de lærte den mig givne Nåde at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansås for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshånd for at vi skulde gå til Hedningerne og de til de omskårne;
10 only that we should remember the poor, which same thing also I was diligent to do.
kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg også just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch, I withstood him to [the] face, because he was to be condemned:
Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, trådte jeg op imod ham for hans åbne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
12 for before that certain came from James, he ate with [those of] the nations; but when they came, he drew back and separated himself, fearing those of [the] circumcision;
Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
13 and the rest of the Jews also played the same dissembling part with him; so that even Barnabas was carried away too by their dissimulation.
Og med ham hyklede også de øvrige Jøder, så at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
14 But when I saw that they do not walk straightforwardly, according to the truth of the glad tidings, I said to Peter before all, If thou, being a Jew, livest as the nations and not as the Jews, how dost thou compel the nations to Judaize?
Men da jeg så, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Påhør: Når du, som er en Jøde, lever på hedensk og ikke på jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
15 We, Jews by nature, and not sinners of [the] nations,
Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
16 but knowing that a man is not justified on the principle of works of law [nor] but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be justified on the principle of [the] faith of Christ; and not of works of law; because on the principle of works of law no flesh shall be justified.
men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro på Jesus Kristus, så have også vi troet på Kristus Jesus, for at vi måtte blive retfærdiggjorte al Tro på Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Geringer skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
17 Now if in seeking to be justified in Christ we also have been found sinners, then [is] Christ minister of sin? Far be the thought.
Men når vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, også selv fandtes at være Syndere, så er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
18 For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor.
når jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
19 For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
20 I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.
Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever, i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen, på Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing.
Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Nåde; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
