1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
Paul, a servant of Messiah Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,
2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Aand ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
who was declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus (the) Messiah our Lord,
5 ved hvem vi have faaet Naade og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
through whom we received grace and the office of apostle, for obedience of faith among all the nations, for his name's sake;
6 iblandt hvilke ogsaa I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus (the) Messiah;
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, loved by God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus (the) Messiah.
8 Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
First, I thank my God through Jesus (the) Messiah for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole 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 in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how I constantly mention 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, if by any means now at last I may succeed by the will of God 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 long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you;
12 det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, baade eders og min.
that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith, both yours and mine.
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 I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you, and was hindered so far, that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other non-Jewish people.
14 Baade til Grækere og Barbarer, baade til vise og uforstandige staar jeg i Gæld.
I have an obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
15 Saaledes er jeg, hvad mig angaar, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet ogsaa for eder, som ere i Rom.
So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also 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, for it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for 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 is revealed God's righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, "But the righteous will live by faith."
18 Thi Guds Vrede aabenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people, 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 what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown 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 since the creation of the world his invisible attributes, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made. So they are without excuse. (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, although they knew God, they did not glorify him as God or give him thanks, but their thinking became nonsense, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Idet de paastode at være vise, bleve de Daarer
Claiming to be wise, 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.
and traded the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal humans, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and crawling creatures.
24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
Therefore God also abandoned them in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the degrading of their 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 exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creation rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. 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 reason, God abandoned them to their degrading passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for that which 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.
Likewise also the men, giving up natural relations with women, burned in their lust toward one another, men with men, committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
28 Og ligesom de forkastede at have Gud i Erkendelse, saaledes gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not right;
29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
30 Øretudere, Bagvadskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige, Pralere, opfindsomme paa ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
foolish, promise-breakers, heartless, unforgiving, 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.
who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
