Romerne 15
1 Men vi, som ere stærke, bør bære de svages Skrøbeligheder og ikke være os selv til Behag.
And we ought—we who are strong—to bear the weaknesses of the powerless, and not to please ourselves;
2 Enhver af os være sin Næste til Behag til det gode, til Opbyggelse.
for let each one of us please the neighbor for good, for edification,
3 Thi ogsaa Kristus var ikke sig selv til Behag; men, som der er skrevet: „Deres Forhaanelser, som haane dig, ere faldne paa mig.‟
for even the Christ did not please Himself, but according as it has been written: “The reproaches of those reproaching You fell on Me”;
4 Thi alt, hvad der er skrevet tilforn, det er skrevet til vor Belæring, for at vi skulle have Haabet ved Udholdenheden og Skrifternes Trøst.
for as many things as were written before, for our instruction were written before, that through the endurance, and the exhortation of the Writings, we might have the hope.
5 Men Udholdenhedens og Trøstens Gud give eder at være enige indbyrdes, som Kristus Jesus vil det,
And may the God of the endurance, and of the exhortation, give to you to have the same mind toward one another, according to Christ Jesus,
6 for at I endrægtigt med een Mund kunne prise Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader.
that with one accord—with one mouth—you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ;
7 Derfor tager eder af hverandre, ligesom ogsaa Kristus har taget sig af os, til Guds Ære.
for this reason receive one another, according as also the Christ received us, to the glory of God.
8 Jeg siger nemlig, at Kristus er bleven Tjener for omskaarne for Guds Sanddruheds Skyld for at stadfæste Forjættelserne til Fædrene;
And I say Jesus Christ to have become a servant of circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises to the fathers,
9 men at Hedningerne skulle prise Gud for hans Barmhjertigheds Skyld, som der er skrevet: „Derfor vil jeg bekende dig iblandt Hedninger og lovsynge dit Navn.‟
and the nations for kindness to glorify God, according as it has been written: “Because of this I will confess to You among nations, and to Your Name I will sing praise”;
10 Og atter siges der: „Fryder eder, I Hedninger, med hans Folk!‟
and again it says, “Rejoice you nations, with His people”;
11 Og atter: „Lover Herren, alle Hedninger, og alle Folkene skulle prise ham.‟
and again, “Praise the LORD, all you nations; and laud Him, all you peoples”;
12 Og atter siger Esajas: „Komme skal Isajs Rodskud og han, der rejser sig for at herske over Hedninger; paa ham skulle Hedninger haabe.‟
and again, Isaiah says, “There will be the root of Jesse, and He who is rising to rule nations—on Him will nations hope”;
13 Men Haabets Gud fylde eder med al Glæde og Fred, idet I tro, for at I maa blive rige i Haabet ved den Helligaands Kraft! —
and the God of the hope will fill you with all joy and peace in the believing, for your abounding in the hope in power of the Holy Spirit.
14 Men ogsaa jeg, mine Brødre! har selv den Forvisning om eder, at I ogsaa selv ere fulde af Godhed, fyldte med al Kundskab, i Stand til ogsaa at paaminde hverandre.
And I am persuaded, my brothers—I myself also—concerning you, that you yourselves also are full of goodness, having been filled with all knowledge, also able to admonish one another;
15 Dog har jeg for en Del tilskrevet eder noget dristigere for at paaminde eder paa Grund af den Naade, som er given mig fra Gud
and the more boldly I wrote to you, brothers, in part, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me by God,
16 til iblandt Hedningerne at være en Kristi Jesu Offertjener, der som Præst betjener Guds Evangelium, for at Hedningerne maa blive et velbehageligt Offer, helliget ved den Helligaand.
for my being a servant of Jesus Christ to the nations, acting as priest in the good news of God, that the offering up of the nations may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
17 Saaledes har jeg min Ros i Kristus Jesus af min Tjeneste for Gud.
I have, then, a boasting in Christ Jesus, in the things pertaining to God,
18 Thi jeg vil ikke driste mig til at tale om noget af det, som Kristus ikke har udført ved mig til at virke Hedningers Lydighed, ved Ord og Handling,
for I will not dare to speak anything of the things that Christ did not work through me, to obedience of nations, by word and deed,
19 ved Tegns og Undergerningers Kraft, ved Guds Aands Kraft, saa at jeg fra Jerusalem og trindt omkring indtil Illyrien har til fulde forkyndt Kristi Evangelium;
in power of signs and wonders, in power of the Spirit of God; so that I, from Jerusalem, and in a circle as far as Illyricum, have fully preached the good news of the Christ;
20 dog saaledes, at jeg sætter min Ære i at forkynde Evangeliet ikke der, hvor Kristus er nævnet, for at jeg ikke skal bygge paa en andens Grundvold,
and so counting it honor to proclaim good news, not where Christ was named—that on another’s foundation I might not build—
21 men, som der er skrevet: „De, for hvem der ikke blev kundgjort om ham, skulle se, og de, som ikke have hørt, skulle forstaa.‟
but according as it has been written: “To whom it was not told concerning Him, they will see; and they who have not heard, will understand.”
22 Derfor er jeg ogsaa de mange Gange bleven forhindret i at komme til eder.
For this reason, also, I was hindered many times from coming to you,
23 Men nu, da jeg ikke mere har Rum i disse Egne og i mange Aar har haft Længsel efter at komme til eder,
and now, no longer having place in these parts, and having a longing to come to you for many years,
24 vil jeg, naar jeg rejser til Spanien, komme til eder; thi jeg haaber at se eder paa Gennemrejsen og af eder at blive befordret derhen, naar jeg først i nogen Maade er bleven tilfredsstillet hos eder.
when I may go on to Spain I will come to you, for I hope in going through, to see you, and by you to be set forward there, if of you first, in part, I will be filled.
25 Men nu rejser jeg til Jerusalem i Tjeneste for de hellige.
And now, I go on to Jerusalem, ministering to the holy ones;
26 Thi Makedonien og Akaja have fundet Glæde i at gøre et Sammenskud til de fattige iblandt de hellige i Jerusalem.
for it pleased Macedonia and Achaia well to make a certain contribution for the poor of the holy ones who [are] in Jerusalem;
27 De have nemlig fundet Glæde deri, og de ere deres Skyldnere. Thi ere Hedningerne blevne delagtige i hines aandelige Goder, da ere de ogsaa skyldige at tjene dem med de timelige.
for it pleased well, and their debtors they are, for if the nations participated in their spiritual things, they ought also, in the fleshly things, to minister to them.
28 Naar jeg da har fuldbragt dette og beseglet denne Frugt for dem, vil jeg derfra drage om ad eder til Spanien.
This, then, having finished, and having sealed to them this fruit, I will return through you, to Spain;
29 Men jeg ved, at naar jeg kommer til eder, skal jeg komme med Kristi Velsignelses Fylde.
and I have known that coming to you—in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of Christ I will come.
30 Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre! ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus og ved Aandens Kærlighed til med mig at stride i eders Bønner for mig til Gud,
And I call on you, brothers, through our Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in the prayers for me to God,
31 for at jeg maa udfries fra de genstridige i Judæa, og mit Ærinde til Jerusalem maa blive de hellige kærkomment,
that I may be delivered from those not believing in Judea, and that my ministry, that [is] for Jerusalem, may become acceptable to the holy ones;
32 for at jeg kan komme til eder med Glæde, ved Guds Villie, og vederkvæges med eder.
that in joy I may come to you, through the will of God, and may be refreshed with you,
33 Men Fredens Gud være med eder alle! Amen.
and the God of peace [be] with you all. Amen.
