1 Korinterne 14
1 Higer efter Kærligheden, og tragter efter de aandelige Gaver, men mest efter at profetere.
Follow after love, and earnestly desire spiritual things, and especially that you may prophesy.
2 Thi den, som taler i Tunger, taler ikke for Mennesker, men for Gud; thi ingen forstaar det, men han taler Hemmeligheder i Aanden.
For the one who speaks in another language speaks not to people, but to God; for no one understands; but in the Spirit he speaks mysteries.
3 Men den, som profeterer, taler Mennesker til Opbyggelse og Formaning og Trøst.
But he who prophesies speaks to people for their encouragement, strengthening, and comfort.
4 Den, som taler i Tunger, opbygger sig selv; men den, som profeterer, opbygger en Menighed.
He who speaks in another language edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.
5 Men jeg ønsker, at I alle maatte tale i Tunger, men endnu hellere, at I maatte profetere; den, som profeterer, er større end den, som taler i Tunger, med mindre han udlægger det, for at Menigheden kan faa Opbyggelse deraf.
Now I would like you all to speak in tongues, but even more that you would prophesy, and he is greater who prophesies than he who speaks with other languages, unless he interprets, that the church may be built up.
6 Men nu, Brødre! dersom jeg kommer til eder og taler i Tunger, hvad vil jeg da gavne eder, hvis jeg ikke taler til eder enten ved Aabenbaring eller ved Kundskab, enten ved Profeti eller ved Lære?
But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?
7 Selv de livløse Ting, som give Lyd, være sig en Fløjte eller en Harpe, naar de ikke gøre Skel imellem Tonerne, hvorledes skal man saa kunne forstaa, hvad der spilles paa Fløjten eller Harpen?
Even things without life, giving a voice, whether pipe or harp, if they did not give a distinction in the sounds, how would it be known what is piped or harped?
8 Ja, ogsaa naar en Basun giver en utydelig Lyd, hvem vil da berede sig til Krig?
For if the trumpet gave an uncertain sound, who would prepare himself for war?
9 Saaledes ogsaa med eder: dersom I ikke ved Tungen fremføre tydelig Tale, hvorledes skal man da kunne forstaa det, som tales? I ville jo tale hen i Vejret.
So also you, unless you uttered by the tongue words easy to understand, how would it be known what is spoken? For you would be speaking into the air.
10 Der er i Verden, lad os sige, saa og saa mange Slags Sprog, og der er intet af dem, som ikke har sin Betydning.
There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none is without meaning.
11 Dersom jeg nu ikke kender Sprogets Betydning, bliver jeg en Barbar for den, som taler, og den, som taler, bliver en Barbar for mig.
If then I do not know the meaning of the sound, I would be to him who speaks a foreigner, and he who speaks would be a foreigner to me.
12 Saaledes ogsaa med eder: naar I tragte efter aandelige Gaver, da lad det være til Menighedens Opbyggelse, at I søge at blive rige derpaa!
So also you, since you are zealous for spiritual things, seek that you may abound to the building up of the church.
13 Derfor, den, som taler i Tunger, han bede om, at han maa kunne udlægge det.
Therefore let him who speaks in another language pray that he may interpret.
14 Thi dersom jeg taler i Tunger og beder, da beder vel min Aand, men min Forstand er uden Frugt.
For if I pray in another language, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful.
15 Hvad da? Jeg vil bede med Aanden, men jeg vil ogsaa bede med Forstanden; jeg vil lovsynge med Aanden, men jeg vil ogsaa lovsynge med Forstanden.
What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also. I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.
16 Ellers, naar du priser Gud i Aanden, hvorledes vil da den, som indtager den uindviedes Plads, kunne sige sit Amen til din Taksigelse, efterdi han ikke ved, hvad du siger?
Otherwise if you bless with the spirit, how will he who fills the place of the unlearned say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, seeing he does not know what you say?
17 Thi vel er din Taksigelse smuk, men den anden opbygges ikke.
For you truly give thanks well, but the other person is not built up.
18 Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg mere end I alle taler i Tunger.
I thank God I speak in tongues more than you all.
19 Men i en Menighed vil jeg hellere tale fem Ord med min Forstand, for at jeg ogsaa kan undervise andre, end ti Tusinde Ord i Tunger.
However in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I might instruct others also, than ten thousand words in another language.
20 Brødre! vorder ikke Børn i Forstand, men værer Børn i Ondskab, i Forstand derimod vorder fuldvoksne!
Brothers, do not be children in thoughts, yet in malice be babies, but in thoughts be mature.
21 Der er skrevet i Loven: „Ved Folk med fremmede Tungemaal og ved fremmedes Læber vil jeg tale til dette Folk, og de skulle end ikke saaledes høre mig, siger Herren.‟
In the law it is written, "By people of strange tongues and by the lips of strangers I will speak to this people; but even then they will not listen to me," says the Lord.
22 Saaledes er Tungetalen til et Tegn, ikke for dem, som tro, men for de vantro; men den profetiske Gave er det ikke for de vantro, men for dem, som tro.
Therefore tongues are for a sign, not to those who believe, but to the unbelieving; but prophesying is for a sign, not to the unbelieving, but to those who believe.
23 Naar altsaa den hele Menighed kommer sammen, og alle tale i Tunger, men der kommer uindviede eller vantro ind, ville de da ikke sige, at I rase?
If therefore the whole church is assembled together and all speak in tongues, and unlearned or unbelieving people come in, won't they say that you are crazy?
24 Men dersom alle profetere, og der kommer nogen vantro eller uindviet ind, da overbevises han af alle, han bedømmes af alle,
But if all prophesy, and someone unbelieving or unlearned comes in, he is reproved by all, and he is judged by all.
25 hans Hjertes skjulte Tanker aabenbares, og saa vil han falde paa sit Ansigt og tilbede Gud og forkynde, at Gud er virkelig i eder.
And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed. So he will fall down on his face and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed.
26 Hvad da, Brødre? Naar I komme sammen, da har enhver en Lovsang, en Lære, en Aabenbaring, en Tungetale, en Udlægning; alt ske til Opbyggelse!
What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up.
27 Dersom nogen taler i Tunger, da være det to, eller i det højeste tre hver Gang, og den ene efter den anden, og een udlægge det!
If anyone speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret.
28 Men dersom der ingen Udlægger er til Stede, da tie hin i Menigheden, men han tale for sig selv og for Gud!
But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the church, and let him speak to himself, and to God.
29 Men af Profeter tale to eller tre, og de andre bedømme det;
Let the prophets speak, two or three, and let the others discern.
30 men dersom en anden, som sidder der, faar en Aabenbarelse, da tie den første!
But if a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first keep silent.
31 Thi I kunne alle profetere, den ene efter den anden, for at alle kunne lære, og alle blive formanede,
For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.
32 og Profeters Aander ere Profeter undergivne.
The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets,
33 Thi Gud er ikke Forvirringens, men Fredens Gud. Ligesom i alle de helliges Menigheder
for God is not a God of confusion, but of peace. As in all the churches of the saints,
34 skulle eders Kvinder tie i Forsamlingerne; thi det tilstedes dem ikke at tale, men lad dem underordne sig, ligesom ogsaa Loven siger.
let the women keep silent in the churches, for it has not been permitted for them to speak; but let them be in subjection, as the Law also says.
35 Men ville de lære noget, da adspørge de deres egne Mænd hjemme; thi det er usømmeligt for en Kvinde at tale i en Menighedsforsamling.
If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to chatter in the church.
36 Eller er det fra eder, at Guds Ord er udgaaet? eller er det til eder alene, at det er kommet?
What? Was it from you that the word of God went out? Or did it come to you alone?
37 Dersom nogen tykkes, at han er en Profet eller aandelig, han erkende, at hvad jeg skriver til eder, er Herrens Bud.
If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him recognize the things which I write to you, that they are the commandment of the Lord.
38 Men er nogen uvidende derom, saa faar han være uvidende!
But if someone does not recognize this, he is not recognized.
39 Altsaa, mine Brødre! tragter efter at profetere og forhindrer ikke Talen i Tunger!
Therefore, my brothers, desire earnestly to prophesy, and do not forbid speaking in tongues.
40 Men alt ske sømmeligt og med Orden!
Let all things be done decently and in order.
