1 Korinterne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi kaldede Apostel ved Guds Villie, og Broderen Sosthenes
Paul, called to be an Apostle of Christ Jesus through the will of God--and our brother Sosthenes:
2 til Guds Menighed, som er i Korinth, helligede i Kristus Jesus, hellige ifølge Kald tillige med alle dem, der paa ethvert Sted paakalde vor Herres Jesu Kristi, deres og vor Herres Navn:
To the Church of God in Corinth, men and women consecrated in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all in every place who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ-- their Lord as well as ours.
3 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
May grace and peace be granted to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4 Jeg takker min Gud altid for eder, for den Guds Naade, som blev given eder i Kristus Jesus,
I thank my God continually on your behalf for the grace of God bestowed on you in Christ Jesus--
5 at I ved ham ere blevne rige i alt, i al Tale og al Kundskab,
that you have been so richly blessed in Him, with readiness of speech and fulness of knowledge.
6 ligesom Vidnesbyrdet om Kristus er blevet stadfæstet hos eder,
Thus my testimony as to the Christ has been confirmed in your experience,
7 saa at I ikke staa tilbage i nogen Naadegave, idet I forvente vor Herres Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,
so that there is no gift of God in which you consciously come short while patiently waiting for the reappearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,
8 han, som ogsaa skal stadfæste eder indtil Enden som ustraffelige paa vor Herres Jesu Kristi Dag.
who will also keep you stedfast to the very End, so that you will be free from reproach on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Trofast er Gud, ved hvem I bleve kaldede til Samfund med hans Søn, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre.
God is ever true to His promises, and it was by Him that you were, one and all, called into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
10 Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre! ved vor Herres Jesu Kristi Navn, at I alle skulle føre samme Tale, og at der ikke maa findes Splittelser iblandt eder, men at I skulle være forenede i det samme Sind og i den samme Mening.
Now I entreat you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to cultivate a spirit of harmony--all of you--and that there be no divisions among you, but rather a perfect union through your having one mind and one judgement.
11 Thi det er blevet mig fortalt om eder, mine Brødre! af Kloes Husfolk, at der er Splidagtighed iblandt eder.
For I have been distinctly informed, my brethren, about you by Chloe's people, that there are dissensions among you.
12 Jeg mener dette, at enhver af eder siger: Jeg hører Paulus til, og jeg Apollos, og jeg Kefas, og jeg Kristus.
What I mean is that each of you is a partisan. One man says "I belong to Paul;" another "I belong to Apollos;" a third "I belong to Peter;" a fourth "I belong to Christ."
13 Er Kristus delt? mon Paulus blev korsfæstet for eder? eller bleve I døbte til Paulus's Navn?
Is the Christ in fragments? Is it Paul who was crucified on your behalf? Or were you baptized to be Paul's adherents?
14 Jeg takker Gud for, at jeg ikke døbte nogen af eder, uden Krispus og Kajus,
I thank God that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius--
15 for at ikke nogen skal sige, at I bleve døbte til mit Navn.
for fear people should say that you were baptized to be my adherents.
16 Dog, jeg døbte ogsaa Stefanas's Hus; ellers ved jeg ikke, om jeg døbte nogen anden.
I did, however, baptize Stephanas' household also: but I do not think that I baptized any one else.
17 Thi Kristus sendte mig ikke for at døbe, men for at forkynde Evangeliet, ikke med vise Ord, for at Kristi Kors ikke skulde tabe sin Kraft.
Christ did not send me to baptize, but to proclaim the Good News; and not in merely wise words--lest the Cross of Christ should be deprived of its power.
18 Thi Korsets Ord er vel for dem, som fortabes, en Daarskab, men for dem, som frelses, for os er det en Guds Kraft.
For the Message of the Cross is foolishness to those who are on the way to perdition, but it is the power of God to those whom He is saving.
19 Thi der er skrevet: „Jeg vil lægge de vises Visdom øde, og de forstandiges Forstand vil jeg gøre til intet.‟
For so it stands written, "I will exhibit the nothingness of the wisdom of the wise, and the intelligence of the intelligent I will bring to nought."
20 Hvor er der en viis? hvor er der en skriftklog? hvor er der en Ordkæmper af denne Verden? har Gud ikke gjort Verdens Visdom til Daarskab? (aiōn g165)
Where is your wise man? Where your expounder of the Law? Where your investigator of the questions of this present age? Has not God shown the world's wisdom to be utter foolishness? (aiōn g165)
21 Thi efterdi Verden ved sin Visdom ikke erkendte Gud i hans Visdom, behagede det Gud ved Prædikenens Daarskab at frelse dem, som tro,
For after the world by its wisdom--as God in His wisdom had ordained--had failed to gain the knowledge of God, God was pleased, by the apparent foolishness of the Message which we preach, to save those who accepted it.
22 eftersom baade Jøder kræve Tegn, og Grækere søge Visdom,
Seeing that Jews demand miracles, and Greeks go in search of wisdom,
23 vi derimod prædike Kristus som korsfæstet, for Jøder en Forargelse og for Hedninger en Daarskab,
while we proclaim a Christ who has been crucified--to the Jews a stumbling-block, to Gentiles foolishness,
24 men for selve de kaldede baade Jøder og Grækere, Kristus som Guds Kraft og Guds Visdom.
but to those who have received the Call, whether Jews or Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.
25 Thi Guds Daarskab er visere end Menneskene, og Guds Svaghed er stærkere end Menneskene.
Because that which the world deems foolish in God is wiser than men's wisdom, and that which it deems feeble in God is mightier than men's might.
26 Thi ser, Brødre! paa eders Kaldelse, at I ere ikke mange vise efter Kødet, ikke mange mægtige, ikke mange fornemme;
For consider, brethren, God's call to you. Not many who are wise with merely human wisdom, not many of position and influence, not many of noble birth have been called.
27 men det, som var Daarskab for Verden, udvalgte Gud for at beskæmme de vise, og det, som var svagt for Verden, udvalgte Gud for at beskæmme det stærke;
But God has chosen the things which the world regards as foolish, in order to put its wise men to shame; and God has chosen the things which the world regards as destitute of influence, in order to put its powerful things to shame;
28 og det for Verden uædle og det ringeagtede, det, som intet var, udvalgte Gud for at gøre det, som var noget, til intet,
and the things which the world regards as base, and those which it sets utterly at nought--things that have no existence--God has chosen in order to reduce to nothing things that do exist;
29 for at intet Kød skal rose sig for Gud.
to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
30 Men ud af ham ere I i Kristus Jesus, som blev os Visdom fra Gud, baade Retfærdighed og Helliggørelse og Forløsning;
But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;
31 for at, som der er skrevet: „Den, som roser sig, rose sig af Herren!‟
in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
