Galatians 1
1 Paul, an emissary—not from men, nor through man, but through Yeshua the Messiah, and God the Father, who 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 brothers who are 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 Yeshua the Messiah,
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 this 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 you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Messiah to a different “good news”,
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 but there isn’t another “good news.” Only there are some who trouble you and want to pervert the Good News of Messiah.
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 though we, or an angel from heaven, should proclaim to you any “good news” other than that which we preached to you, let him be cursed.
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, so I now say again: if any man preaches to you any “good news” other than that which you received, let him be cursed.
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 now seeking the favour of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Messiah.
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 make known to you, brothers, concerning the Good News which was preached by me, that it is not according to man.
Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
12 For I didn’t receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came to me through revelation of Yeshua the Messiah.
thi heller ikke jeg har modtaget det eller er bleven undervist derom af noget Menneske, men ved Åbenbarelse at Jesus Kristus.
13 For you have heard of my way of living in time past in Judaism, how that beyond measure I 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 I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my own age amongst my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for 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 was the good pleasure of God, who separated me from my mother’s womb and called me through his grace,
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 proclaim him amongst the Gentiles, I didn’t immediately confer 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 did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were emissaries before me, but I went away into Arabia. Then I 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 visit Peter, and stayed 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 of the other emissaries I saw no one except Jacob, the Lord’s brother.
Men nogen anden af Apostlene så jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
20 Now about the things which I write to you, behold, before God, I’m not lying.
Men hvad jeg skriver til eder - se, for Guds Åsyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
21 Then I came to the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
22 I was still unknown by face to the assemblies of Judea which were in Messiah,
Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
23 but they only heard, “He who once persecuted us now preaches the faith that he once tried to destroy.”
de hørte kun sige: Han, som forhen forfulgte os, forkynder nu Evangeliet om den Tro, som han forhen vilde udrydde;
24 So they glorified God in me.
og de priste Gud for mig.
