Romerne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called Apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
(which he formerly announced by his prophets, in the Sacred Writings, )
3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
concerning his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord; descended from David, as to his flesh,
4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Aand ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
and constituted the Son of God, with power, as to his holy spiritual nature, after his resurrection from the dead:
5 ved hvem vi have faaet Naade og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
by whom we have received favor, even the apostolic office, for the obedience of faith among all nations, for his name's sake:
6 iblandt hvilke ogsaa I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
among whom are you, also, called of Jesus Christ:
7 Til alle Guds elskede, som ere i Rom, kaldede hellige. Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; favor be to you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
First of all, I thank my God, through the Lord Jesus Christ, for you all, that your faith is published in all the world.
9 Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Aand tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
For God is my witness, whom I serve sincerely in the gospel of his Son, that continually I make mention of you;
10 idet jeg bestandig i mine Bønner beder om, at jeg dog endelig engang maatte faa Lykke til ved Guds Villie at komme til eder.
always in my prayers, requesting that, by some means, now at length, I may have a prosperous journey, (God willing, ) to come to you.
11 Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen aandelig Naadegave, for at I maatte styrkes,
For I greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, that you may be established;
12 det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, baade eders og min.
and that I may be comforted, together with you, through the mutual faith both of you and me.
13 Og jeg vil ikke, Brødre! at I skulle være uvidende om, at jeg ofte har sat mig for at komme til eder (men hidindtil er jeg bleven forhindret), for at jeg maatte faa nogen Frugt ogsaa iblandt eder, ligesom iblandt de øvrige Hedninger.
Now, brethren, I would not have you ignorant, that I often purposed to come to you, thought I have, as yet been hindered; that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentiles.
14 Baade til Grækere og Barbarer, baade til vise og uforstandige staar jeg i Gæld.
I am a debtor, both to the Greeks and to the barbarians; both to the wise and to the unwise.
15 Saaledes er jeg, hvad mig angaar, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet ogsaa for eder, som ere i Rom.
Therefore, I am willing, according to my ability, to declare the glad tidings, even to you who are in Rome.
16 Thi jeg skammer mig ikke ved Evangeliet; thi det er en Guds Kraft til Frelse for hver den, som tror, baade for Jøde først og for Græker.
For I am not ashamed of the gospel; because it is the power of God for salvation, to every one who believes; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
17 Thi deri aabenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: „Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.”
For in it the justification of God by faith is revealed, in order to faith; as it is written, "Now the just by faith, shall live."
18 Thi Guds Vrede aabenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
Besides the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth by unrighteousness.
19 thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er aabenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo aabenbaret dem det.
Because that which may be known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested it to them:
20 Thi hans usynlige Væsen, baade hans evige Kraft og Guddommelighed, skues fra Verdens Skabelse af, idet det forstaas af hans Gerninger, saa at de have ingen Undskyldning. (aïdios g126)
(for his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, since the creation of the world, are very evident; being known by his works: ) so that they are inexcusable. (aïdios g126)
21 Thi skønt de kendte Gud, saa ærede eller takkede de ham dog ikke som Gud, men bleve taabelige i deres Tanker, og deres uforstandige Hjerte blev formørket.
Because, though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, neither gave him thanks; but became foolish by their own reasonings, and their inconsiderate heart was darkened.
22 Idet de paastode at være vise, bleve de Daarer
Professing to be wise men, they became fools:
23 og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende Dyr.
for they changed the glory of the immortal God into the likeness of an image of mortal man, of fowls, or four-footed beasts, and of reptiles.
24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
Therefore, also, God, through the lusts of their own hearts, delivered them over to uncleanness, to dishonor their own bodies among themselves.
25 de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Who changed the truth concerning God, into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is forever blessed. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi baade deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
For this, God delivered them over to shameful passions; for even their females changed the natural use unto what is contrary to nature.
27 og ligesaa forlode ogsaa Mændene den naturlige Omgang med Kvinden og optændtes i deres Brynde efter hverandre, saa at Mænd øvede Uterlighed med Mænd og fik deres Vildfarelses Løn, som det burde sig, paa sig selv.
In like manner, also, the males, leaving the natural use of the female, burned in their lust toward one another, males with males, working out that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.
28 Og ligesom de forkastede at have Gud i Erkendelse, saaledes gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
And as they did not like to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to an undiscerning mind, to work those things which are not suitable;
29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
being filled with all injustice, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, bad habits, whisperers,
30 Øretudere, Bagvadskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige, Pralere, opfindsomme paa ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
revilers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil pleasure, disobedient to parents,
31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
impudent, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful.
32 — hvilke jo, skønt de erkende Guds retfærdige Dom, at de, der øve saadanne Ting, fortjene Døden, dog ikke alene gøre det, men ogsaa give dem, som øve det, deres Bifald.
Some, who clearly understand the law of God, (that they who practice such things are worthy of death, ) not only do these things, but even commend those who practice them.
