Galaterne 2
1 Senere, efter fjorten Aars Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Barnabas og tog ogsaa Titus med.
Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along also.
2 Men jeg drog op ifølge en Aabenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, — om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
I went up in response to a revelation and presented to them the gospel that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were held in high esteem, to make sure that I was not running or had not run in vain.
3 Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
But not even Titus, who was with me, was compelled to be circumcised, even though he is a Greek.
4 nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure paa vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
Now this matter arose because of the false brothers who were secretly brought in, who slipped in to spy on the freedom we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us.
5 For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed maatte blive varig hos eder.
But we did not yield to them in submission for even an hour, so that the truth of the gospel might be preserved for you.
6 Men fra deres Side, som ansaas for at være noget, (hvordanne de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke paa et Menneskes Person; ) — over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
Now from those who were esteemed to be something (what sort of men they once were makes no difference to me; God does not show partiality)—those, I say, who were held in high esteem added nothing to me.
7 Men tværtimod, da de saa, at jeg har faaet Evangeliet til de uomskaarne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskaarne,
On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to the circumcised.
8 (thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskaarne, gav ogsaa mig Kraft dertil for Hedningerne; )
For he who worked through Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised also worked through me in my apostleship to the Gentiles.
9 og da de lærte den mig givne Naade at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansaas for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshaand for at vi skulde gaa til Hedningerne og de til de omskaarne;
When James, Cephas, and John, who were esteemed as pillars of the church, recognized the grace given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me, agreeing that we should go to the Gentiles and that they should go to the circumcised.
10 kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg ogsaa just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
They only asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.
11 Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, traadte jeg op imod ham for hans aabne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he was blameworthy.
12 Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
For he regularly ate with the Gentiles until certain men came from James. But when they came, he drew back and separated himself because he was afraid of the circumcision faction.
13 Og med ham hyklede ogsaa de øvrige Jøder, saa at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy.
14 Men da jeg saa, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Paahør: Naar du, som er en Jøde, lever paa hedensk og ikke paa jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
But when I saw that they were not walking uprightly in accordance with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, “If yoʋ, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, why do yoʋ compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
15 Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
We who are Jews by nature and not Gentile sinners
16 men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro paa Jesus Kristus, saa have ogsaa vi troet paa Kristus Jesus, for at vi maatte blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro paa Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Gerninger skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by works of the law.
17 Men naar vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, ogsaa selv fandtes at være Syndere, saa er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
But if we ourselves have also been found to be sinners while seeking to be justified in Christ, is Christ then an agent of sin? Certainly not!
18 naar jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
For if I build up again the very things that I tore down, I show myself to be a transgressor.
19 Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.
20 Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen paa Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.
21 Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Naade; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
