Romerne 1

1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,

Paul, bondman of Jesus Christ, [a] called apostle, separated to God's glad tidings,

2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,

(which he had before promised by his prophets in holy writings, )

3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,

concerning his Son (come of David's seed according to flesh,

4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Aand ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,

marked out Son of God in power, according to [the] Spirit of holiness, by resurrection of [the] dead) Jesus Christ our Lord;

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 grace and apostleship in behalf of his name, for obedience of faith among all the nations,

6 iblandt hvilke ogsaa I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:

among whom are ye also [the] 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 that are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and [our] Lord Jesus Christ.

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 Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in 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 glad tidings of his Son, how unceasingly 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 beseeching at my prayers, if any way now at least I may be prospered 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 greatly desire to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to establish you;

12 det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, baade eders og min.

that is, to have mutual comfort among you, each by the faith [which is] in the other, 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.

But I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that I often proposed to come to you, (and have been hindered until the present time, ) that I might have some fruit among you too, even as among the other nations also.

14 Baade til Grækere og Barbarer, baade til vise og uforstandige staar jeg i Gæld.

I am a debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to wise and unintelligent:

15 Saaledes er jeg, hvad mig angaar, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet ogsaa for eder, som ere i Rom.

so, as far as depends on me, am I ready to announce the glad tidings 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 glad tidings; for it is God's power to salvation, to every one that believes, both to Jew first and to Greek:

17 Thi deri aabenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: „Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.‟

for righteousness of God is revealed therein, on the principle of faith, to faith: according as it is written, But the just shall live by faith.

18 Thi Guds Vrede aabenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;

For there is revealed wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety, and unrighteousness of men holding the truth in unrighteousness.

19 thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er aabenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo aabenbaret dem det.

Because what is 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 from [the] world's creation the invisible things of him are perceived, being apprehended by the mind through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity, — so as to render them 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, knowing God, they glorified [him] not as God, neither were thankful; but fell into folly in their thoughts, and their heart without understanding was darkened:

22 Idet de paastode at være vise, bleve de Daarer

professing themselves 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 changed the glory of the incorruptible God into [the] likeness of an image of corruptible man and of birds and quadrupeds and reptiles.

24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,

Wherefore God gave them up [also] in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies between 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 of God into falsehood, and honoured and served the creature more than him who had created [it], who is blessed for ever. 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 gave them up to vile lusts; for both their females changed the natural use into that 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.

and in like manner the males also, leaving the natural use of the female, were inflamed in their lust towards one another; males with males working shame, and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was fit.

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 according as they did not think good to have God in [their] knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind to practise unseemly things;

29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;

being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,

30 Øretudere, Bagvadskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige, Pralere, opfindsomme paa ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,

back-biters, hateful to God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;

void of understanding, faithless, without natural affection, 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 righteous judgment of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death, not only practise them, but have fellow delight in those who do [them].
