1 Korinterne 10
1 Thi jeg vil ikke, Brødre, at I skulle være uvidende om, at vore Fædre vare alle under Skyen og gik alle igennem Havet
Now I do not want you to be ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea
2 og bleve alle døbte til Moses i Skyen og i Havet
—all were baptized into Moses by the cloud and by the sea—
3 og spiste alle den samme aandelige Mad
and all ate the same spiritual food
4 og drak alle den samme aandelige Drik; thi de drak af en aandelig Klippe, som fulgte med; men Klippen var Kristus.
and drank the same spiritual drink; because they kept drinking from a spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that Rock was the Christ.
5 Alligevel fandt Gud ikke Behag i de fleste af dem; thi de bleve slagne ned i Ørkenen.
For all that, God was not pleased with most of them—their carcasses were scattered around the desert!
6 Men disse Ting skete som Forbilleder for os, for at vi ikke skulle begære, hvad ondt er, saaledes som hine begærede.
Now these things became examples for us, to the intent that we should not lust after evil things as they also lusted.
7 Bliver ej heller Afgudsdyrkere som nogle af dem, ligesom der er skrevet: „Folket satte sig ned at spise og drikke, og de stode op at lege.‟
And do not become idolaters, just like some of them; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink, and got up to amuse themselves.”
8 Lader os ej heller bedrive Utugt, som nogle af dem bedreve Utugt, og der faldt paa een Dag tre og tyve Tusinde.
And let us not fornicate, just as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand died!
9 Lader os ej heller friste Herren, som nogle af dem fristede ham og bleve ødelagte af Slanger.
Neither let us test the Christ, just as also some of them did—and were destroyed by the snakes!
10 Knurrer ej heller, som nogle af dem knurrede og bleve ødelagte af Ødelæggeren.
And do not grumble, just as also some of them did—and were executed by the destroyer!
11 Men dette skete dem forbilledligt, men det blev skrevet til Advarsel for os, til hvem Tidernes Ende er kommen. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened to them as examples and were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Derfor den, som tykkes at staa, se til, at han ikke falder!
So then, let him who thinks he stands be careful that he does not fall!
13 Der er ikke kommet andre end menneskelige Fristelser over eder, og trofast er Gud, som ikke vil tillade, at I fristes over Evne, men som sammen med Fristelsen vil skabe ogsaa Udgangen af den, for at I maa kunne udholde den.
No testing has overtaken you except what is common to man, and God is competent, who will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can stand, but with the testing will also provide the way out, that you may be able to endure it.
14 Derfor, mine elskede, flyr fra Afgudsdyrkelsen!
Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry!
15 Jeg taler som til forstandige; dømmer selv, hvad jeg siger.
I speak as to wise men; judge for yourselves what I say.
16 Velsignelsens Kalk, som vi velsigne, er den ikke Samfund med Kristi Blod? det Brød, som vi bryde, er det ikke Samfund med Kristi Legeme?
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing of the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing of the body of Christ?
17 Fordi der er eet Brød, ere vi mange eet Legeme; thi vi faa alle Del i det ene Brød.
Since the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, because we all partake of that single loaf.
18 Ser til Israel efter Kødet; have de, som spise Ofrene, ikke Samfund med Alteret?
Consider the physical Israel: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers of the altar?
19 Hvad siger jeg da? At Afgudsofferkød er noget? eller at en Afgud er noget?
So what am I getting at? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything?
20 Nej! men hvad Hedningerne ofre, ofre de til onde Aander og ikke til Gud; men jeg vil ikke, at I skulle faa Samfund med de onde Aander.
Rather, that the things pagans sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to become participants with the demons.
21 I kunne ikke drikke Herrens Kalk og onde Aanders Kalk; I kunne ikke være delagtige i Herrens Bord og i onde Aanders Bord.
You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons.
22 Eller skulle vi vække Herrens Nidkærhed? Mon vi ere stærkere end han?
Are we going to provoke the Lord's jealousy? Are we stronger than He?
23 Alt er tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er tilladt, men ikke alt opbygger.
All things are ‘permissible’ for me, but not all things are expedient. All things are ‘permissible’ for me, but not all things edify.
24 Ingen søge sit eget, men Næstens!
Let no one seek his own, but each one the other's well-being.
25 Alt, hvad der sælges i Slagterbod, spiser det, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn;
Eat whatever is being sold in the meat market, asking no question for the sake of conscience;
26 thi Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde.
since “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.”
27 Dersom nogen af de vantro indbyder eder, og I ville gaa derhen, da spiser alt det, som sættes for eder, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn.
If some unbeliever invites you and you decide to go, eat whatever is set before you, asking no questions for the sake of conscience.
28 Men dersom nogen siger til eder: „Dette er Offerkød, ‟ da lad være at spise for hans Skyld, som gav det til Kende, og for Samvittighedens Skyld.
But if anyone says, “This was offered to idols,” do not eat it for the sake of the speaker and of the conscience; since “the earth is the Lord's, and all its fullness.”
29 Samvittigheden siger jeg, ikke ens egen, men den andens; thi hvorfor skal min Frihed dømmes af en anden Samvittighed?
‘Conscience’ I say, not your own but that of the other. Now just why should my freedom be judged by another's conscience?
30 Dersom jeg nyder det med Taksigelse, hvorfor hører jeg da ilde for det, som jeg takker for?
If I partake with thanks, why be slandered over something I give thanks for?
31 Hvad enten I derfor spise eller drikke, eller hvad I gøre, da gører alt til Guds Ære!
Therefore, whether you eat or you drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Værer uden Anstød baade for Jøder og Grækere og for Guds Menighed,
Give no offense, either to Jews or to Greeks or to the Church of God
33 ligesom ogsaa jeg i alt stræber at tækkes alle, idet jeg ikke søger, hvad der gavner mig selv, men hvad der gavner de mange, for at de kunne frelses.
—even as I try to please everyone in every way, not seeking my own profit but that of the many, that they may be saved.
