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
For I would have you remember, brethren, how our forefathers were all of them sheltered by the cloud, and all got safely through the Red Sea.
2 og bleve alle døbte til Moses i Skyen og i Havet
All were baptized in the cloud and in the sea to be followers of Moses.
3 og spiste alle den samme aandelige Mad
All ate 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 all drank the same spiritual drink; for they long drank the water that flowed from the spiritual rock that went with 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 most of them God was not well pleased; for they were laid low in the Desert.
6 Men disse Ting skete som Forbilleder for os, for at vi ikke skulle begære, hvad ondt er, saaledes som hine begærede.
And in this they became a warning to us, to teach us not to be eager, as they were eager, in pursuit of what is evil.
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.‟
And you must not be worshippers of idols, as some of them were. For it is written, "The People sat down to eat and drink, and stood up to dance."
8 Lader os ej heller bedrive Utugt, som nogle af dem bedreve Utugt, og der faldt paa een Dag tre og tyve Tusinde.
Nor may we be fornicators, like some of them who committed fornication and on a single day 23,000 of them fell dead.
9 Lader os ej heller friste Herren, som nogle af dem fristede ham og bleve ødelagte af Slanger.
And do not let us test the Lord too far, as some of them tested Him and were destroyed by the serpents.
10 Knurrer ej heller, som nogle af dem knurrede og bleve ødelagte af Ødelæggeren.
And do not be discontented, as some of them were, and they 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)
All this kept happening to them with a figurative meaning; but it was put on record by way of admonition to 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!
So then let him who thinks he is standing securely beware of falling.
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 temptation has you in its power but such as is common to human nature; and God is faithful and will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. But, when the temptation comes, He will also provide the way of escape; so that you may be able to bear it.
14 Derfor, mine elskede, flyr fra Afgudsdyrkelsen!
Therefore, my dear friends, avoid all connection with the worship of idols.
15 Jeg taler som til forstandige; dømmer selv, hvad jeg siger.
I speak as to men of sense: judge for yourselves of 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, does it not mean a joint-participation in the blood of Christ? The loaf of bread which we break, does it not mean a joint-participation in the body of Christ?
17 Fordi der er eet Brød, ere vi mange eet Legeme; thi vi faa alle Del i det ene Brød.
Since there is one loaf, we who are many are one body; we, all of us, share in that one loaf.
18 Ser til Israel efter Kødet; have de, som spise Ofrene, ikke Samfund med Alteret?
Look at the Israelites--the nation and their ritual. Are not those who eat the sacrifices joint-partakers in the altar?
19 Hvad siger jeg da? At Afgudsofferkød er noget? eller at en Afgud er noget?
Do I mean that a thing sacrificed to an idol is what it claims to be, or that an idol is a real 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.
No, but that which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God; and I would not have you have fellowship with one another through the 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 cannot drink the Lord's cup and the cup of demons: you cannot be joint-partakers both in the table of the Lord and in the table of demons.
22 Eller skulle vi vække Herrens Nidkærhed? Mon vi ere stærkere end han?
Or are we actually arousing the Lord to jealousy. Are we stronger than He is?
23 Alt er tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er tilladt, men ikke alt opbygger.
Everything is allowable, but not everything is profitable. Everything is allowable, but everything does not build others up.
24 Ingen søge sit eget, men Næstens!
Let no one be for ever seeking his own good, but let each seek that of his fellow man.
25 Alt, hvad der sælges i Slagterbod, spiser det, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn;
Anything that is for sale in the meat market, eat, and ask no questions for conscience' sake;
26 thi Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde.
for the earth is the Lord's, and all that it contains.
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 an unbeliever gives you an invitation and you are disposed to accept it, eat whatever is put before you, and ask 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 tells you, "This food has been offered in sacrifice;" abstain from eating it--out of respect for him who warned you, and, as before, for conscience' sake.
29 Samvittigheden siger jeg, ikke ens egen, men den andens; thi hvorfor skal min Frihed dømmes af en anden Samvittighed?
But now I mean his conscience, not your own. "Why, on what ground," you may object, "is the question of my liberty of action to be decided by a conscience not my own?
30 Dersom jeg nyder det med Taksigelse, hvorfor hører jeg da ilde for det, som jeg takker for?
If, so far as I am concerned, I partake with a grateful heart, why am I to be found fault with in regard to a thing for which I give thanks?"
31 Hvad enten I derfor spise eller drikke, eller hvad I gøre, da gører alt til Guds Ære!
Whether, then, you are eating or drinking, or whatever you are doing, let everything be done to the glory of God.
32 Værer uden Anstød baade for Jøder og Grækere og for Guds Menighed,
Do not be causes of stumbling either to Jews or to Gentiles, nor 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.
That is the way that I also seek in everything the approval of all men, not aiming at my own profit, but at that of the many, in the hope that they may be saved.
