Galaterne 1
1 Paulus, Apostel, ikke af Mennesker, ikke heller ved noget Menneske, men ved Jesus Kristus og Gud Fader, som oprejste ham fra de døde,
Paul, apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God [the] Father who raised him from among [the] dead,
2 og alle Brødrene, som ere med mig, til Menighederne i Galatien:
and all the brethren with me, to the assemblies of Galatia.
3 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud Fader og vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
Grace to you, and peace, from God [the] Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 som gav sig selv for vore Synder, for at han kunde udfri os af den nærværende onde Verden, efter vor Guds og Faders Villie, (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, so that he should deliver us out of the present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father; (aiōn g165)
to whom [be] glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Jeg undrer mig over, at I saa i snart lade eder føre bort fra ham, som kaldte eder til Kristi Naade, hen til et anderledes Evangelium;
I wonder that ye thus quickly change, from him that called you in Christ's grace, to a different gospel,
7 hvilket dog ikke er et andet, men det er kun nogle, som forvirre eder og ville vende op og ned paa Kristi Evangelium.
which is not another [one]; but there are some that trouble you, and desire to pervert the glad tidings of the Christ.
8 Men selv om vi eller en Engel fra Himmelen forkynder eder Evangeliet anderledes, end vi have forkyndt eder det, han være en Forbandelse!
But if even we or an angel out of heaven announce as glad tidings to you [anything] besides what we have announced as glad tidings to you, let him be accursed.
9 Som vi før have sagt, saa siger jeg nu igen: Dersom nogen forkynder eder Evangeliet anderledes, end I have modtaget det, han være en Forbandelse!
As we have said before, now also again I say, If any one announce to you as glad tidings [anything] besides what ye have received, let him be accursed.
10 Taler jeg da nu Mennesker til Villie, eller Gud? eller søger jeg at behage Mennesker? Dersom jeg endnu vilde behage Mennesker, da var jeg ikke en Kristi Tjener.
For do I now seek to satisfy men or God? or do I seek to please men? If I were yet pleasing men, I were not Christ's bondman.
11 Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
But I let you know, brethren, [as to] the glad tidings which were announced by me, that they are not according to man.
12 thi heller ikke jeg har modtaget det eller er bleven undervist derom af noget Menneske, men ved Aabenbarelse af Jesus Kristus.
For neither did I receive them from man, neither was I taught [them], but by revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 I have jo hørt om min Vandel forhen i Jødedommen, at jeg over al Maade forfulgte Guds Menighed og søgte at udrydde den.
For ye have heard [what was] my conversation formerly in Judaism, that I excessively persecuted the assembly of God, and ravaged it;
14 Og jeg gik videre i Jødedommen end mange jævnaldrende i mit Folk, idet jeg var langt mere nidkær for mine fædrene Overleveringer.
and advanced in Judaism beyond many [my] contemporaries in my nation, being exceedingly zealous of the doctrines of my fathers.
15 Men da det behagede Gud, som fra min Moders Liv havde udtaget mig og havde kaldet mig ved sin Naade,
But when God, who set me apart [even] from my mother's womb, and called [me] by his grace,
16 at aabenbare sin Søn i mig, for at jeg skulde forkynde Evangeliet om ham iblandt Hedningerne: Da spurgte jeg straks ikke Kød og Blod til Raads,
was pleased to reveal his Son in me, that I may announce him as glad tidings among the nations, immediately I took not counsel with flesh and blood,
17 drog heller ikke op til Jerusalem, til dem, som før mig vare Apostle, men jeg drog bort til Arabien og vendte atter tilbage til Damaskus.
nor went I up to Jerusalem to those [who were] apostles before me; but I went to Arabia, and again returned to Damascus.
18 Senere, tre Aar efter, drog jeg op til Jerusalem for at blive kendt med Kefas og blev hos ham i femten Dage.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to make acquaintance with Peter, and I remained with him fifteen days;
19 Men nogen anden af Apostlene saa jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
but I saw none other of the apostles, but James the brother of the Lord.
20 Men hvad jeg skriver til eder — se, for Guds Aasyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
Now what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.
21 Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
But I was unknown personally to the assemblies of Judaea which [are] in Christ;
23 de hørte kun sige: Han, som forhen forfulgte os, forkynder nu Evangeliet om den Tro, som han forhen vilde udrydde;
only they were hearing that he who persecuted us formerly now announces the glad tidings of the faith which formerly he ravaged:
24 og de priste Gud for mig.
and they glorified God in me.
