1 Korinterne 10
1 Thi jeg vil ikke, Brødre, at I skulle være uvidende om, at vore Fædre vare alle under Skyen og gik alle igennem Havet
Now, brethren, I do not wish you to be ignorant, that all our fathers were under the cloud, and that all passed through the sea,
2 og bleve alle døbte til Moses i Skyen og i Havet
and were all immersed into Moses, in the cloud and in the sea;
3 og spiste alle den samme aandelige Mad
and did all eat the same spiritual food,
4 og drak alle den samme aandelige Drik; thi de drak af en aandelig Klippe, som fulgte med; men Klippen var Kristus.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was the Christ.
5 Alligevel fandt Gud ikke Behag i de fleste af dem; thi de bleve slagne ned i Ørkenen.
But with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
6 Men disse Ting skete som Forbilleder for os, for at vi ikke skulle begære, hvad ondt er, saaledes som hine begærede.
Now these things took place as examples for us, that we should not desire evil things, as they, also, desired.
7 Bliver ej heller Afgudsdyrkere som nogle af dem, ligesom der er skrevet: „Folket satte sig ned at spise og drikke, og de stode op at lege.‟
Neither be you idolaters, as some of them were, as it is written: Tho people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to engage in idolatrous sport.
8 Lader os ej heller bedrive Utugt, som nogle af dem bedreve Utugt, og der faldt paa een Dag tre og tyve Tusinde.
Nor let us be guilty of lewdness, as some of them were guilty, and fell, in one day, twenty-three thousand.
9 Lader os ej heller friste Herren, som nogle af dem fristede ham og bleve ødelagte af Slanger.
Nor let us tempt the Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.
10 Knurrer ej heller, som nogle af dem knurrede og bleve ødelagte af Ødelæggeren.
Nor do you murmur, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
11 Men dette skete dem forbilledligt, men det blev skrevet til Advarsel for os, til hvem Tidernes Ende er kommen. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they are written for the instruction of us, upon whom the ends of the ages have come. (aiōn g165)
12 Derfor den, som tykkes at staa, se til, at han ikke falder!
Wherefore, let him that thinks he stands, take heed lest he foil.
13 Der er ikke kommet andre end menneskelige Fristelser over eder, og trofast er Gud, som ikke vil tillade, at I fristes over Evne, men som sammen med Fristelsen vil skabe ogsaa Udgangen af den, for at I maa kunne udholde den.
No trial has come upon you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried more than you are able to bear; but he will, with the trial, make a way to escape, so that you be able to bear up under it.
14 Derfor, mine elskede, flyr fra Afgudsdyrkelsen!
Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Jeg taler som til forstandige; dømmer selv, hvad jeg siger.
I speak as to wise men; judge you what I say.
16 Velsignelsens Kalk, som vi velsigne, er den ikke Samfund med Kristi Blod? det Brød, som vi bryde, er det ikke Samfund med Kristi Legeme?
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the participation of the blood of the Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the participation of the body of the Christ?
17 Fordi der er eet Brød, ere vi mange eet Legeme; thi vi faa alle Del i det ene Brød.
Because the loaf is one, we, the many, are one body, for we are all partakers of the one loaf.
18 Ser til Israel efter Kødet; have de, som spise Ofrene, ikke Samfund med Alteret?
Look at Israel according to the flesh: are not those who eat the sacrifices partakers with the altar?
19 Hvad siger jeg da? At Afgudsofferkød er noget? eller at en Afgud er noget?
What, then, do I say? That an idol is any thing? or, that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?
20 Nej! men hvad Hedningerne ofre, ofre de til onde Aander og ikke til Gud; men jeg vil ikke, at I skulle faa Samfund med de onde Aander.
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God. I do not wish you to be partakers with demons.
21 I kunne ikke drikke Herrens Kalk og onde Aanders Kalk; I kunne ikke være delagtige i Herrens Bord og i onde Aanders Bord.
You can not drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: you can not be partakers of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.
22 Eller skulle vi vække Herrens Nidkærhed? Mon vi ere stærkere end han?
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he?
23 Alt er tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er tilladt, men ikke alt opbygger.
All meats are lawful for me; but all are not profitable; all are lawful, but all do not edify.
24 Ingen søge sit eget, men Næstens!
Let no one seek his own, but each the welfare of the other.
25 Alt, hvad der sælges i Slagterbod, spiser det, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn;
Any thing that is sold in the market, eat, asking no questions on account of conscience:
26 thi Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde.
for the earth and its fullness are the Lord’s.
27 Dersom nogen af de vantro indbyder eder, og I ville gaa derhen, da spiser alt det, som sættes for eder, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn.
If any one of the unbelievers invites you to a feast, and you are disposed to go, eat any thing that is set before you, asking no questions for conscience sake.
28 Men dersom nogen siger til eder: „Dette er Offerkød, ‟ da lad være at spise for hans Skyld, som gav det til Kende, og for Samvittighedens Skyld.
But if any one say to you: This is sacrificed to idols; eat not, for the sake of him that pointed it out, and for conscience sake:
29 Samvittigheden siger jeg, ikke ens egen, men den andens; thi hvorfor skal min Frihed dømmes af en anden Samvittighed?
conscience, I say, not your own, but that of the other. Why, then, is my liberty judged by the conscience of another?
30 Dersom jeg nyder det med Taksigelse, hvorfor hører jeg da ilde for det, som jeg takker for?
If I partake with thanksgiving, why am I evil spoken of on account of that for which I give thanks?
31 Hvad enten I derfor spise eller drikke, eller hvad I gøre, da gører alt til Guds Ære!
Whether, therefore, you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
32 Værer uden Anstød baade for Jøder og Grækere og for Guds Menighed,
Give no occasion for stumbling, either to the Jews, or to the Greeks, or to the church of God;
33 ligesom ogsaa jeg i alt stræber at tækkes alle, idet jeg ikke søger, hvad der gavner mig selv, men hvad der gavner de mange, for at de kunne frelses.
even as I please all men in all things, not seeking my own good, but that of the many, in order that they may be saved.
