Galatians 1
1 Paul, an 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; —unto the assemblies of Galatia:
og alle Brødrene, som ere med mig, til Menighederne i Galatien:
3 Favour unto you and peace, from God our Father, and Lord Jesus Christ, —
Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud Fader og vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of the present evil age, 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 marvel that, thus quickly, ye are moving away from him that called you in the favour of Christ, unto a different glad-message, —
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, only there are, some, that are troubling you, and wishing to change the glad-message 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, even if, we, or, a messenger out of heaven, announce a glad-message [unto you] aside from that which we announced unto you, accursed, let him be!
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, even now, again, I say: If anyone is announcing unto you a glad-message aside from that which ye accepted, accursed, let him be!
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 am I, even now, persuading, men, or God? Or am I seeking to please, men? If I had been still pleasing, men, Christ’s servant, had I not been!
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 For I make known unto you, brethren, as to the glad-message which was announced by me, that it is not after man;
Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
12 For neither, from man, did I accept it, nor was taught [it], —but through a revealing 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, as to my own manner of life, at one time, in Judaism, how that, exceedingly, was I persecuting the assembly of God, and laying it waste,
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 was making advancement, in Judaism, above many contemporaries in my nation, being, surpassingly zealous, of my paternal instructions.
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 from my mother’s womb and called me through his favour, was well-pleased
Men da det behagede Gud, som fra min Moders Liv havde udtaget mig og havde kaldet mig ved sin Nåde,
16 to reveal his Son in me, that I might announce the glad-message regarding him among the nations, straightway, I conferred 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 went I up unto Jerusalem unto them who, before me, were apostles, —but I went away into Arabia, and again returned unto 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, went I up unto Jerusalem, to become acquainted with Cephas, and tarried 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, other of the apostles, saw I none, save James the brother of the Lord: —
Men nogen anden af Apostlene så jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
20 Now, as touching the things which I am writing to you, lo! before God, I am not guilty of falsehood: —
Men hvad jeg skriver til eder - se, for Guds Åsyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
21 After that, I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia,
Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
22 And was still unknown, by face, unto the assemblies of Judaea which were in Christ, —
Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
23 Only they were hearing—He that was persecuting us formerly, now, is announcing the glad-message of the faith which he formerly laid waste;
de hørte kun sige: Han, som forhen forfulgte os, forkynder nu Evangeliet om den Tro, som han forhen vilde udrydde;
24 And they were glorifying, God, in me.
og de priste Gud for mig.
