1 Korinterne 11
1 Vorder mine Efterfølgere, ligesom ogsaa jeg er Kristi!
Be imitators of me, in so far as I in turn am an imitator of Christ.
2 Men jeg roser eder, fordi I komme mig i Hu i alt og holde fast ved Overleveringerne, saaledes som jeg har overleveret eder dem.
Now I commend you for remembering me in everything, and because you hold fast truths and practices precisely as I have taught them to you.
3 Men jeg vil, at I skulle vide, at Kristus er enhver Mands Hoved; men Manden er Kvindens Hoved; men Gud er Kristi Hoved.
I would have you know, however, that of every man, Christ is the Head, that of a woman her husband is the Head, and that God is Christ's Head.
4 Hver Mand, som beder eller profeterer med tildækket Hoved, beskæmmer sit Hoved.
A man who wears a veil when praying or prophesying dishonors his Head;
5 Men hver Kvinde, som beder eller profeterer med utildækket Hoved, beskæmmer sit Hoved; thi det er lige det samme, som var hun raget.
but a woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her Head, for it is exactly the same as if she had her hair cut short.
6 Thi naar en Kvinde ikke tildækker sig, saa lad hende ogsaa klippe sit Haar af; men er det usømmeligt for en Kvinde at klippes eller rages, da tildække hun sig!
If a woman will not wear a veil, let her also cut off her hair. But since it is a dishonor to a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her wear a veil.
7 Thi en Mand bør ikke tildække sit Hoved, efterdi han er Guds Billede og Ære; men Kvinden er Mandens Ære.
For a man ought not to have a veil on his head, since he is the image and glory of God; while woman is the glory of man.
8 Mand er jo ikke af Kvinde, men Kvinde af Mand.
Man does not take his origin from woman, but woman takes hers from man.
9 Ej heller er jo Mand skabt for Kvindens Skyld, men Kvinde for Mandens Skyld.
For man was not created for woman's sake, but woman for man's.
10 Derfor bør Kvinden have et Ærbødighedstegn paa Hovedet for Englenes Skyld.
That is why a woman ought to have on her head a symbol of subjection, because of the angels.
11 Dog er hverken Kvinde uden Mand eller Mand uden Kvinde i Herren.
Yet, in the Lord, woman is not independent of man nor man independent of woman.
12 Thi ligesom Kvinden er af Manden, saaledes er ogsaa Manden ved Kvinden; men alt sammen er det af Gud.
For just as woman originates from man, so also man comes into existence through woman, but everything springs originally from God.
13 Dømmer selv: Er det sømmeligt, at en Kvinde beder til Gud med utildækket Hoved?
Judge of this for your own selves: is it seemly for a woman to pray to God when she is unveiled?
14 Lærer ikke ogsaa selve Naturen eder, at naar en Mand bærer langt Haar, er det ham en Vanære,
Does not Nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair it is a dishonor to him,
15 men naar en Kvinde bærer langt Haar, er det hende en Ære; thi det lange Haar er givet hende som et Slør.
but that if a woman has long hair it is her glory, because her hair was given her for a covering?
16 Men har nogen Lyst til at trættes herom, da have vi ikke saadan Skik, og Guds Menigheder ej heller.
But if any one is inclined to be contentious on the point, we have no such custom, nor have the Churches of God.
17 Men idet jeg giver følgende Formaning, roser jeg ikke, at I komme sammen, ikke til det bedre, men til det værre.
But while giving you these instructions, there is one thing I cannot praise--your meeting together, with bad rather than good results.
18 For det første nemlig hører jeg, at naar I komme sammen i Menighedsforsamling, er der Splittelser iblandt eder; og for en Del tror jeg det.
for, in the first place, when you meet as a Church, there are divisions among you. This is what I am told, and I believe that there is some truth in it.
19 Thi der maa endog være Partier iblandt eder, for at de prøvede kunne blive aabenbare iblandt eder.
For there must of necessity be differences of opinion among you, in order that it may be plainly seen who are the men of sterling worth among you.
20 Naar I da komme sammen, er dette ikke at æde en Herrens Nadvere.
When, however, you meet in one place, there is no eating the Supper of the Lord;
21 Thi under Spisningen tager enhver sit eget Maaltid forud, og den ene hungrer, den anden beruser sig.
for it is his own supper of which each of you is in a hurry to partake, and one eats like a hungry man, while another has already drunk to excess.
22 Have I da ikke Huse til at spise og drikke i? eller foragte I Guds Menighed og beskæmme dem, som intet have? Hvad skal jeg sige eder? skal jeg rose eder? I dette roser jeg eder ikke.
Why, have you no homes in which to eat and drink? Or do you wish to show your contempt for the Church of God and make those who have no homes feel ashamed? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this matter I certainly do not praise you.
23 Thi jeg har modtaget fra Herren, hvad jeg ogsaa har overleveret eder: At den Herre Jesus i den Nat, da han blev forraadt, tog Brød,
For it was from the Lord that I received the facts which, in turn, I handed on to you; how that the Lord Jesus, on the night He was to be betrayed, took some bread,
24 takkede og brød det og sagde: „Dette er mit Legeme, som er for eder; gører dette til min Ihukommelse!‟
and after giving thanks He broke it and said, "This is my body which is about to be broken for you. Do this in memory of me."
25 Ligesaa tog han ogsaa Kalken efter Aftensmaaltidet og sagde: „Denne Kalk er den nye Pagt i mit Blod; gører dette, saa ofte som I drikke det, til min Ihukommelse!‟
In the same way, when the meal was over, He also took the cup. "This cup," He said, "is the new Covenant of which my blood is the pledge. Do this, every time that you drink it, in memory of me."
26 Thi saa ofte, som I æde dette Brød og drikke Kalken, forkynde I Herrens Død, indtil han kommer.
For every time that you eat this bread and drink from the cup, you are proclaiming the Lord's death--until He returns.
27 Derfor, den, som æder Brødet eller drikker Herrens Kalk uværdigt, paadrager sig Skyld over for Herrens Legeme og Blod.
Whoever, therefore, in an unworthy manner, eats the bread or drinks from the cup of the Lord sins against the body and blood of the Lord.
28 Men hvert Menneske prøve sig selv, og saaledes æde han af Brødet og drikke af Kalken!
But let a man examine himself, and, having done that, then let him eat the bread and drink from the cup.
29 Thi den, som æder og drikker, æder og drikker sig selv en Dom til, naar han ikke agter paa Legemet.
For any one who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgement to himself, if he fails to estimate the body aright.
30 Derfor ere mange skrøbelige og sygelige iblandt eder, og en Del sover hen.
That is why many among you are sickly and out of health, and why not a few die.
31 Men dersom vi bedømte os selv, bleve vi ikke dømte.
If, however, we estimated ourselves aright, we should not be judged.
32 Men naar vi dømmes, tugtes vi af Herren, for at vi ikke skulle fordømmes med Verden.
But when we are judged by the Lord, chastisement follows, to save us from being condemned along with the world.
33 Derfor, mine Brødre! naar I komme sammen til Maaltid, da venter paa hverandre!
Therefore, brethren, when you come together for this meal, wait for one another.
34 Naar nogen hungrer, han spise hjemme, for at I ikke skulle komme sammen til Dom. Men det øvrige skal jeg forordne, naar jeg kommer.
If any one is hungry, let him eat at home; so that your coming together may not lead to judgement. The other matters I will deal with whenever I come.
