Galaterne 3
1 O, I uforstandige Galatere! hvem har fortryllet eder, I, hvem Jesus Kristus blev malet for Øje som korsfæstet?
O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified [among you]?
2 Kun dette vil jeg vide af eder: Var det ved Lovens Gerninger, I modtoge Aanden, eller ved i Tro at høre?
This only I wish to learn of you, Have ye received the Spirit on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
3 Ere I saa uforstandige? ville I, som begyndte i Aand, nu ende i Kød?
Are ye so senseless? having begun in Spirit, are ye going to be made perfect in flesh?
4 Have I da prøvet saa meget forgæves? hvis det da virkelig er forgæves!
Have ye suffered so many things in vain, if indeed also in vain?
5 Mon da han, som meddeler eder Aanden og virker kraftige Gerninger iblandt eder, gør dette ved Lovens Gerninger eller ved, at I høre i Tro?
He therefore who ministers to you the Spirit, and works miracles among you, [is it] on the principle of works of law, or of [the] report of faith?
6 ligesom jo „Abraham troede Gud, og det blev regnet ham til Retfærdighed‟.
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
7 Erkender altsaa, at de, som ere af Tro, disse ere Abrahams Børn.
Know then that they that are on the principle of faith, these are Abraham's sons;
8 Men da Skriften forudsaa, at det er af Tro, at Gud retfærdiggør Hedningerne, forkyndte den forud Abraham det Evangelium: „I dig skulle alle Folkeslagene velsignes‟,
and the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the nations on the principle of faith, announced beforehand the glad tidings to Abraham: In thee all the nations shall be blessed.
9 saa at de, som ere af Tro, velsignes sammen med den troende Abraham.
So that they who are on the principle of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.
10 Thi saa mange, som holde sig til Lovens Gerninger, ere under Forbandelse; thi der er skrevet: „Forbandet hver den, som ikke bliver i alle de Ting, som ere skrevne i Lovens Bog, saa han gør dem.‟
For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;
11 Men at ingen bliver retfærdiggjort for Gud ved Lov, er aabenbart, thi „den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.‟
but that by law no one is justified with God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
12 Men Loven beror ikke paa Tro; men: „Den, som gør disse Ting, skal leve ved dem.‟
but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.
13 Kristus har løskøbt os fra Lovens Forbandelse, idet han blev en Forbandelse for os (thi der er skrevet: „Forbandet er hver den, som hænger paa et Træ‟),
Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree, )
14 for at Abrahams Velsignelse maatte komme til Hedningerne i Kristus Jesus, for at vi kunde faa Aandens Forjættelse ved Troen.
that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
15 Brødre! jeg taler paa Menneskevis: Ingen ophæver dog et Menneskes stadfæstede Arvepagt eller føjer noget dertil.
Brethren, (I speak according to man, ) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.
16 Men Abraham og hans Sæd bleve Forjættelserne tilsagte; der siges ikke: „Og Sædene‟, som om mange, men som om een: „Og din Sæd‟, hvilken er Kristus.
But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.
17 Jeg mener dermed dette: En Pagt, som forud er stadfæstet af Gud, kan Loven, som blev til fire Hundrede og tredive Aar senere, ikke gøre ugyldig, saa at den skulde gøre Forjættelsen til intet.
Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
18 Thi faas Arven ved Lov, da faas den ikke mere ved Forjættelse; men til Abraham har Gud skænket den ved Forjættelse.
For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.
19 Hvad skulde da Loven? Den blev føjet til for Overtrædelsernes Skyld (indtil den Sæd kom, hvem Forjættelsen gjaldt), besørget ved Engle, ved en Mellemmands Haand.
Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.
20 Men en Mellemmand er ikke kun for een Part; Gud derimod er een.
But a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
21 Er da Loven imod Guds Forjættelser? Det være langtfra! Ja, hvis der var givet en Lov, som kunde levendegøre, da var Retfærdigheden virkelig af Lov.
[Is] then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;
22 Men Skriften har indesluttet alt under Synd, for at Forjættelsen skulde af Tro paa Jesus Kristus gives dem, som tro.
but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.
23 Men førend Troen kom, holdtes vi indelukkede under Lovens Bevogtning til den Tro, som skulde aabenbares,
But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.
24 saa at Loven er bleven os en Tugtemester til Kristus, for at vi skulde blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro.
So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
25 Men efter at Troen er kommen, ere vi ikke mere under Tugtemester.
But, faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor;
26 Thi alle ere I Guds Børn ved Troen paa Kristus Jesus.
for ye are all God's sons by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 Thi I, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus, have iført eder Kristus.
For ye, as many as have been baptised unto Christ, have put on Christ.
28 Her er ikke Jøde eller Græker; her er ikke Træl eller fri; her er ikke Mand og Kvinde; thi alle ere I een i Kristus Jesus.
There is no Jew nor Greek; there is no bondman nor freeman; there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus:
29 Men naar I høre Kristus til, da ere I jo Abrahams Sæd, Arvinger ifølge Forjættelse.
but if ye [are] of Christ, then ye are Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.
