Galatians 1
1 Pavl an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from 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 which are with me, vnto the Churches of Galatia:
og alle Brødrene, som ere med mig, til Menighederne i Galatien:
3 Grace be with you, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Iesus Christ,
Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud Fader og vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
4 Which gaue himself for our sinnes, that he might deliuer vs from this present euill world according to the will of God euen our 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 marueile that ye are so soone remoued away vnto another Gospel, from him that had called you in the grace of Christ,
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 Gospel, saue that there be some which trouble you, and intend to peruert the Gospel of 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 though that we, or an Angel from heauen preach vnto you otherwise, then that which we haue preached vnto 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 sayd before, so say I now againe, If any man preach vnto you otherwise, then that ye haue receiued, 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 nowe preach I mans doctrine, or Gods? or go I about to please men? for if I should yet please men, I were not the seruant of Christ.
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 Now I certifie you, brethren, that ye Gospel which was preached of me, was not after man.
Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
12 For neither receiued I it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the reuelation of Iesus 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 haue heard of my conuersation in time past, in the Iewish religion, how that I persecuted the Church of God extremely, and wasted 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 profited in the Iewish religion aboue many of my companions of mine owne nation, and was much more zealous of the traditions 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 it pleased God (which had separated me from my mothers wombe, 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 To reueile his Sonne in me, that I should preach him among the Gentiles, immediatly I communicated not 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 Neither came I againe to Hierusalem to them which were Apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and turned againe vnto 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 yeeres I came againe to Hierusalem to visite Peter, and abode with him fifteene dayes.
Senere, tre År efter, drog jeg op til Jerusalem for at blive kendt med Kefas og blev hos ham i femten Dage.
19 And none other of the Apostles sawe I, saue Iames the Lords brother.
Men nogen anden af Apostlene så jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
20 Nowe the things which I write vnto you, beholde, I witnes before God, that I lie not.
Men hvad jeg skriver til eder - se, for Guds Åsyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
21 After that, I went into the coastes of Syria and Cilicia:
Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
22 for I was vnknowen by face vnto the Churches of Iudea, which were in Christ.
Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
23 But they had heard onely some say, Hee which persecuted vs in time past, nowe preacheth the faith which before he destroyed.
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 for me.
og de priste Gud for mig.
