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 unaware, 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
and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in 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 all drank the same spiritual drink. For they were drinking from the spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ.
5 Alligevel fandt Gud ikke Behag i de fleste af dem; thi de bleve slagne ned i Ørkenen.
Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
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 happened as examples for us, so that we would not crave evil things as they did.
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.‟
So do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.”
8 Lader os ej heller bedrive Utugt, som nogle af dem bedreve Utugt, og der faldt paa een Dag tre og tyve Tusinde.
We must not commit fornication as some of them did, and in a single day twenty-three thousand of them died.
9 Lader os ej heller friste Herren, som nogle af dem fristede ham og bleve ødelagte af Slanger.
We must not put Christ to the test, as some of them did and were killed by serpents.
10 Knurrer ej heller, som nogle af dem knurrede og bleve ødelagte af Ødelæggeren.
And do not grumble as some of them did and were killed 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 they were written down for our instruction, upon whom the end of the ages has come. (aiōn g165)
12 Derfor den, som tykkes at staa, se til, at han ikke falder!
Therefore whoever thinks he stands must be careful not to 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 temptation has overtaken you except what is common to man. God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you can bear, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you can endure it.
14 Derfor, mine elskede, flyr fra Afgudsdyrkelsen!
Therefore, my beloved friends, flee from idolatry.
15 Jeg taler som til forstandige; dømmer selv, hvad jeg siger.
I am speaking as I would to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I am saying.
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?
Is not the cup of blessing that we bless the communion of the blood of Christ? Is not the bread that we break the communion 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.
Because we, who are many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of the one bread.
18 Ser til Israel efter Kødet; have de, som spise Ofrene, ikke Samfund med Alteret?
Consider those who belong to Israel according to the flesh: Are they not united by eating the sacrifices of the altar?
19 Hvad siger jeg da? At Afgudsofferkød er noget? eller at en Afgud er noget?
What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or that food sacrificed to an idol 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.
No, I am saying that what the pagans sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God. I do not want you to be participants with 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 both the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons. You cannot share in both the table of the Lord and the table of demons.
22 Eller skulle vi vække Herrens Nidkærhed? Mon vi ere stærkere end han?
Or are we trying to provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he is?
23 Alt er tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er tilladt, men ikke alt opbygger.
“All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are beneficial. “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things edify.
24 Ingen søge sit eget, men Næstens!
No one should seek his own good, but each person should seek the good of others.
25 Alt, hvad der sælges i Slagterbod, spiser det, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn;
Eat whatever is sold in the meat market, questioning nothing for the sake of conscience,
26 thi Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde.
for “the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.”
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 one of the unbelievers invites you to dinner and you want to go, eat whatever is set before you, questioning nothing 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 someone says to you, “This meat was sacrificed to an idol,” do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you and for the sake of conscience; for “the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.”
29 Samvittigheden siger jeg, ikke ens egen, men den andens; thi hvorfor skal min Frihed dømmes af en anden Samvittighed?
But when I say “conscience,” I am not speaking about yoʋr own conscience, but the other person's conscience. For why is my freedom 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 thankfulness, why should I be criticized because of something for which I give thanks?
31 Hvad enten I derfor spise eller drikke, eller hvad I gøre, da gører alt til Guds Ære!
So whether you eat or drink or do anything, do it all for the glory of God.
32 Værer uden Anstød baade for Jøder og Grækere og for Guds Menighed,
Give no offense to Jews or Greeks or 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.
just as I also try to please everyone in everything I do, not seeking my own benefit, but the benefit of many, so that they may be saved.
