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 the apostle (not sent from men, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ, and our Father who raised him from the dead),
2 og alle Brødrene, som ere med mig, til Menighederne i Galatien:
and all the brethren with me, to the churches of Galatia:
3 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud Fader og vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
grace unto 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, that he might pluck us out of this present wicked world, according to the will of God and our Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom be glory for ever and ever. 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 marvel that ye are so quickly departed from him that called you, by the grace of Christ into another 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; but there are certain persons who trouble you, and desire to pervert the gospel of 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 though even we, or an angel from heaven, preach unto you another gospel, different from that which we have preached to you, let him be an anathema.
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 before spoken, and I now repeat it again, If any man preach a gospel different from that ye have received, let him be anathema.
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 use persuasions from men, or from God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
11 Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
But I give you to understand, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not a merely human ministry.
12 thi heller ikke jeg har modtaget det eller er bleven undervist derom af noget Menneske, men ved Aabenbarelse af Jesus Kristus.
For I neither received it from man, nor was taught, but by immediate revelation from 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 of my former manner of life, when I professed Judaism, that in the most outrageous manner I persecuted the church of God, and wasted 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 signalized myself in Judaism above many of those of my own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly a zealot for the traditions 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 it pleased God, who selected me 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,
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach the glad tidings of him to the nations, immediately I conferred not 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 up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus.
18 Senere, tre Aar efter, drog jeg op til Jerusalem for at blive kendt med Kefas og blev hos ham i femten Dage.
Afterwards at the expiration of three years I went up unto Jerusalem to pay a visit to Peter, and I abode with him fifteen days.
19 Men nogen anden af Apostlene saa jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
But I saw no other of the apostles except James, the Lord’s brother.
20 Men hvad jeg skriver til eder — se, for Guds Aasyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
Now respecting the things which I write unto you, behold, in the presence of God, I lie not.
21 Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
Afterwards I went into the regions of Syria and Cilicia;
22 Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
and I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea, 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 had heard, that he who persecuted us in time past, now preaches the faith which he once laid waste.
24 og de priste Gud for mig.
And they glorified God on my behalf.
