2 Korinterne 11
1 Gid I vilde finde eder i en Smule Daarskab af mig! Dog, I gøre det jo nok.
Woulde to God, yee coulde suffer a litle my foolishnes, and in deede, ye suffer me.
2 Thi jeg er nidkær for eder med Guds Nidkærhed; jeg har jo trolovet eder med een Mand for at fremstille en ren Jomfru for Kristus.
For I am ielous ouer you, with godly ielousie: for I haue prepared you for one husband, to present you as a pure virgine to Christ:
3 Men jeg frygter for, at ligesom Slangen bedrog Eva ved sin Træskhed, saaledes skulle eders Tanker fordærves og miste det oprigtige Sindelag over for Kristus.
But I feare least as the serpent beguiled Eue through his subtiltie, so your mindes shoulde be corrupt from the simplicitie that is in Christ.
4 Thi dersom nogen kommer og prædiker en anden Jesus, som vi ikke prædikede, eller I faa en anderledes Aand, som I ikke fik, eller et anderledes Evangelium, som I ikke modtoge, da vilde I kønt finde eder deri.
For if he that commeth, preacheth another Iesus whome we haue not preached: or if yee receiue another spirite whome ye haue not receiued: either another Gospell, which yee haue not receiued, ye might well haue suffered him.
5 Thi jeg mener ikke at staa tilbage i noget for de saare store Apostle.
Verely I suppose that I was not inferior to the very chiefe Apostles.
6 Er jeg end ulærd i Tale, saa er jeg det dog ikke i Kundskab; tværtimod paa enhver Maade have vi lagt den for Dagen for eder i alle Stykker.
And though I be rude in speaking, yet I am not so in knowledge, but among you wee haue beene made manifest to the vttermost, in all things.
7 Eller gjorde jeg Synd i at fornedre mig selv, for at I skulde ophøjes, idet jeg forkyndte eder Guds Evangelium for intet?
Haue I committed an offence, because I abased my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely?
8 Andre Menigheder plyndrede jeg, idet jeg tog Sold af dem for at tjene eder, og medens jeg var nærværende hos eder og kom i Trang, faldt jeg ingen til Byrde;
I robbed other Churches, and tooke wages of them to doe you seruice.
9 thi min Trang afhjalp Brødrene, da de kom fra Makedonien, og i alt har jeg holdt og vil jeg holde mig uden Tynge for eder.
And when I was present with you, and had neede, I was not slouthfull to the hinderance of any man: for that which was lacking vnto me, the brethre which came from Macedonia, supplied, and in all thinges I kept and will keepe my selfe, that I should not be grieuous to you.
10 Saa vist som Kristi Sandhed er i mig, skal denne Ros ikke fratages mig i Akajas Egne.
The trueth of Christ is in me, that this reioycing shall not be shut vp against me in the regions of Achaia.
11 Hvorfor? mon fordi jeg ikke elsker eder? Gud ved det.
Wherefore? because I loue you not? God knoweth.
12 Men hvad jeg gør, det vil jeg fremdeles gøre, for at jeg kan afskære dem Lejligheden, som søge en Lejlighed, til at findes os lige i det, hvoraf de rose sig.
But what I doe, that will I doe: that I may cut away occasion from them which desire occasion, that they might be found like vnto vs in that wherein they reioyce.
13 Thi saadanne ere falske Apostle, svigefulde Arbejdere, som paatage sig Skikkelse af Kristi Apostle.
For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ.
14 Og det er intet Under; thi Satan selv paatager sig Skikkelse af en Lysets Engel.
And no marueile: for Satan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light.
15 Derfor er det ikke noget stort, om ogsaa hans Tjenere paatage sig Skikkelse som Retfærdigheds Tjenere; men deres Ende skal være efter deres Gerninger.
Therefore it is no great thing, though his ministers transforme themselues, as though they were the ministers of righteousnes, whose end shall be according to their workes.
16 Atter siger jeg: Ingen maa agte mig for en Daare; men hvis saa skal være, saa taaler mig endog som en Daare, for at ogsaa jeg kan rose mig en Smule.
I say againe, Let no man thinke that I am foolish, or els take mee euen as a foole, that I also may boast my selfe a litle.
17 Hvad jeg nu taler, taler jeg ikke efter Herrens Sind, men som i Daarskab, idet jeg tillidsfuldt roser mig.
That I speake, I speake it not after the Lord: but as it were foolishly, in this my great boasting.
18 Efterdi mange rose sig med Hensyn til Kødet, vil ogsaa jeg rose mig.
Seeing that many reioyce after the flesh, I will reioyce also.
19 Gerne finde I eder jo i Daarerne, efterdi I ere kloge.
For ye suffer fooles gladly, because that yee are wise.
20 I finde eder jo i, om nogen gør eder til Trælle, om nogen æder eder op, om nogen tager til sig, om nogen ophøjer sig, om nogen slaar eder i Ansigtet.
For ye suffer, euen if a man bring you into bondage, if a man deuoure you, if a man take your goods, if a man exalt himselfe, if a man smite you on the face.
21 Med Skamfuldhed siger jeg det, efterdi vi have været svage; men hvad end nogen trodser paa (jeg taler i Daarskab), derpaa trodser ogsaa jeg.
I speake as concerning the reproche: as though that we had bene weake: but wherein any man is bold (I speake foolishly) I am bold also.
22 Ere de Hebræere? Jeg ogsaa. Ere de Israeliter? Jeg ogsaa. Ere de Abrahams Sæd? Jeg ogsaa.
They are Hebrues, so am I: they are Israelites, so am I: they are the seede of Abraham, so am I:
23 Ere de Kristi Tjenere? Jeg taler i Vanvid: Jeg er det mere. Jeg har lidt langt flere Besværligheder, faaet langt flere Slag, været hyppigt i Fængsel, ofte i Dødsfare.
They are the ministers of Christ (I speake as a foole) I am more: in labours more aboundant: in stripes aboue measure: in prison more plenteously: in death oft.
24 Af Jøder har jeg fem Gange faaet fyrretyve Slag mindre end eet.
Of the Iewes fiue times receiued I fourtie stripes saue one.
25 Tre Gange er jeg bleven pisket, een Gang stenet, tre Gange har jeg lidt Skibbrud, et Døgn har jeg tilbragt paa Dybet;
I was thrise beaten with roddes: I was once stoned: I suffered thrise shipwracke: night and day haue I bene in the deepe sea.
26 ofte paa Rejser, i Farer fra Floder, i Farer iblandt Røvere, i Farer fra mit Folk, i Farer fra Hedninger, i Farer i By, i Farer i Ørken, i Farer paa Havet, i Farer iblandt falske Brødre;
In iourneying I was often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of mine owne nation, in perils among the Gentiles, in perils in the citie, in perils in wildernes, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren,
27 i Møje og Anstrengelse, ofte i Nattevaagen, i Hunger og Tørst, ofte i Faste, i Kulde og Nøgenhed;
In wearinesse and painefulnesse, in watching often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in colde and in nakednesse.
28 foruden hvad der kommer til, mit daglige Overløb, Bekymringen for alle Menighederne.
Beside the thinges which are outwarde, I am combred dayly, and haue the care of all the Churches.
29 Hvem er skrøbelig, uden at ogsaa jeg er det? hvem bliver forarget, uden at det brænder i mig?
Who is weake, and I am not weake? who is offended, and I burne not?
30 Dersom jeg skal rose mig, da vil jeg rose mig af min Magtesløshed.
If I must needes reioyce, I will reioyce of mine infirmities.
The God, euen the Father of our Lord Iesus Christ, which is blessed for euermore, knoweth that I lie not. (aiōn g165)
32 I Damaskus holdt Kong Aretas's Statholder Damaskenernes Stad bevogtet for at gribe mig;
In Damascus the gouernour of the people vnder King Aretas, layde watch in the citie of the Damascens, and would haue caught me.
33 men jeg blev igennem en Luge firet ned over Muren i en Kurv og undflyede af hans Hænder.
But at a window was I let downe in a basket through the wall, and escaped his handes.
