1 Korinterne 15
1 Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre, det Evangelium, som jeg forkyndte eder, hvilket I ogsaa modtoge, i hvilket I ogsaa staa,
Now, brothers, I want to add information to the Gospel that I proclaimed to you, that you also received, and in which you stand;
2 ved hvilket I ogsaa frelses, hvis I fastholde, med hvilket Ord jeg forkyndte eder det — ellers troede I forgæves.
through which also you are saved, if you hold fast that word that I proclaimed to you—unless you believed in vain.
3 Jeg overleverede eder nemlig som noget af det første, hvad jeg ogsaa har modtaget: at Kristus døde for vore Synder, efter Skrifterne;
Because I transmitted to you at first that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 og at han blev begravet; og at han er bleven oprejst den tredje Dag, efter Skrifterne;
and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 og at han blev set af Kefas, derefter af de tolv;
and that He was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve.
6 derefter blev han set af over fem Hundrede Brødre paa een Gang, af hvilke de fleste endnu ere i Live, men nogle ere hensovede;
After that He was seen by over five hundred brothers at once, most of whom are still living, while some have fallen asleep.
7 derefter blev han set af Jakob, dernæst af alle Apostlene;
After that He was seen by James, then by all the apostles.
8 men sidst af alle blev han set ogsaa af mig som det ufuldbaarne Foster;
And last of all He was seen by me also, like one born out of season.
9 thi jeg er den ringeste af Apostlene, jeg, som ikke er værd at kaldes Apostel, fordi jeg har forfulgt Guds Menighed.
For I am the least of the apostles, who am not worthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 Men af Guds Naade er jeg det, jeg er, og hans Naade imod mig har ikke været forgæves; men jeg har arbejdet mere end de alle, dog ikke jeg, men Guds Naade, som er med mig.
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me has not been in vain; in fact, I have worked harder than all of them—well, not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
11 Hvad enten det da er mig eller de andre, saaledes prædike vi, og saaledes troede I.
So whether it was I or they, thus we preached and thus you believed.
12 Men naar der prædikes, at Kristus er oprejst fra de døde, hvorledes sige da nogle iblandt eder, at der ikke er dødes Opstandelse?
Now if Christ is being proclaimed as having been raised from among the dead, how can some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 Dersom der ikke er dødes Opstandelse, da er ikke heller Kristus oprejst.
If there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised.
14 Men er Kristus ikke oprejst, da er vor Prædiken jo tom, og eders Tro ogsaa tom.
And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is empty, and so is your faith!
15 Men vi blive da ogsaa fundne som falske Vidner om Gud, fordi vi have vidnet imod Gud, at han oprejste Kristus, hvem han ikke har oprejst, saafremt døde virkelig ikke oprejses.
Further, we are even discovered to be false witnesses of God, because we have testified about God that He raised the Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
16 Thi dersom døde ikke oprejses, da er Kristus ikke heller oprejst.
For if no dead are raised, neither has Christ been raised.
17 Men dersom Kristus ikke er oprejst, da er eders Tro forgæves; saa ere I endnu i eders Synder;
And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is useless; you are still in your sins.
18 da gik altsaa ogsaa de, som ere hensovede i Kristus, fortabt.
Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost.
19 Have vi alene i dette Liv sat vort Haab til Kristus, da ere vi de ynkværdigste af alle Mennesker.
If it is only for this life that we have hoped in Christ, we are of all men most pitiable.
20 Men nu er Kristus oprejst fra de døde, som Førstegrøde af de hensovede.
But indeed, Christ has been raised from the dead; He became the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
21 Thi efterdi Død kom ved et Menneske, er ogsaa dødes Opstandelse kommen ved et Menneske.
For since death came through a man, resurrection of the dead also came through a man.
22 Thi ligesom alle dø i Adam, saaledes skulle ogsaa alle levendegøres i Kristus.
For as all in Adam are dying, so also all in the Christ will be made alive.
23 Dog hver i sit Hold: som Førstegrøde Kristus, dernæst de, som tilhøre Kristus, ved hans Tilkommelse.
But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then those who belong to Christ at His coming;
24 Derpaa kommer Enden, naar han overgiver Gud og Faderen Riget, naar han har tilintetgjort hver Magt og hver Myndighed og Kraft.
then the end, when He hands over the Kingdom to the God and Father, whenever He puts an end to every ruler and all authority and power.
25 Thi han bør være Konge, indtil han faar lagt alle Fjenderne under sine Fødder.
Because it is necessary that He reign until He has put all the enemies under His feet.
26 Den sidste Fjende, som tilintetgøres, er Døden.
The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.
27 Han har jo „lagt alle Ting under hans Fødder‟. Men naar han siger: „Alt er underlagt‟ — aabenbart med Undtagelse af den, som underlagde ham alt —
For “He has put all things under His feet.” But when it says that all things have been subordinated, it is obvious that He who put all things under Him is excepted.
28 naar da alle Ting ere blevne ham underlagte, da skal ogsaa Sønnen selv underlægge sig ham, som har underlagt ham alle Ting, for at Gud kan være alt i alle.
Now whenever all things have been subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all.
29 Hvad ville ellers de udrette, som lade sig døbe for de døde? Dersom døde overhovedet ikke oprejses, hvorfor lade de sig da døbe for dem?
Otherwise, what will they do who are being baptized in place of the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, just why are they being baptized in the place of the dead?
30 Hvorfor udsætte da ogsaa vi os hver Time for Fare?
And why do we face danger every hour?
31 Jeg dør daglig, saa sandt jeg har eder, Brødre, at rose mig af i Kristus Jesus, vor Herre.
I die every day—so I affirm by the boasting about you that I have in Christ Jesus our Lord.
32 Hvis jeg som et almindeligt Menneske har kæmpet med vilde Dyr i Efesus, hvad Gavn har jeg saa deraf? Dersom døde ikke oprejses, da „lader os spise og drikke, thi i Morgen dø vi.‟
If I fought human ‘animals’ in Ephesus, what did I gain? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”
33 Farer ikke vild; slet Omgang fordærver gode Sæder!
Stop kidding yourselves: evil associations corrupt good habits.
34 Vorder ædrue, som det bør sig, og synder ikke; thi nogle kende ikke Gud; til Skam for eder siger jeg det.
Sober up righteously, and stop sinning, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
35 Men man vil sige: „Hvorledes oprejses de døde? hvad Slags Legeme komme de med?‟
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?”
36 Du Daare! det, som du saar, bliver ikke levendegjort, dersom det ikke dør.
Ignorant, what you plant is not brought to life unless it dies.
37 Og hvad du end saar, da saar du ikke det Legeme, der skal vorde, men et nøgent Korn, være sig af Hvede eller af anden Art.
And what you plant is a bare seed (perhaps of wheat or some one of the others); you do not plant the body that it will become.
38 Men Gud giver det et Legeme, saaledes som han har villet, og hver Sædart sit eget Legeme.
But God gives it a body just as He determined, to each of the seeds its own body.
39 Ikke alt Kød er det samme Kød, men eet er Menneskers, et andet Kvægs Kød, et andet Fugles Kød, et andet Fiskes.
All flesh is not the same flesh: that of humans is one kind, and the flesh of animals is another, that of fish is another, that of birds is yet another.
40 Og der er himmelske Legemer og jordiske Legemer; men een er de himmelskes Herlighed, en anden de jordiskes.
There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the heavenly is one, while that of the earthly is another.
41 Een er Solens Glans og en anden Maanens Glans og en anden Stjernernes Glans; thi den ene Stjerne er forskellig fra den anden i Glans.
There is one splendor of the sun, another splendor of the moon, and another splendor of the stars; and star differs from star in brightness.
42 Saaledes er det ogsaa med de dødes Opstandelse: det saaes i Forkrænkelighed, det oprejses i Uforkrænkelighed;
The resurrection of the dead is like that: the body is ‘planted’ in deterioration and it is raised in incorruptibility;
43 det saaes i Vanære, det oprejses i Herlighed; det saaes i Skrøbelighed, det oprejses i Kraft;
it is ‘planted’ in dishonor and it is raised in glory; it is ‘planted’ in weakness and it is raised in power;
44 der saaes et sjæleligt Legeme, der oprejses et aandeligt Legeme. Naar der gives et sjæleligt Legeme, gives der ogsaa et aandeligt.
it is ‘planted’ a natural body and it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body and there is a spiritual body.
45 Saaledes er der ogsaa skrevet: „Det første Menneske, Adam, blev til en levende Sjæl; ‟ den sidste Adam blev til en levendegørende Aand.
So also it is written: “The first man, Adam, became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
46 Men det aandelige er ikke det første, men det sjælelige; derefter det aandelige.
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
47 Det første Menneske var af Jord, jordisk; det andet Menneske er fra Himmelen.
The first man was of the earth, of soil; the second man was the Lord from heaven.
48 Saadan som den jordiske var, saadanne ere ogsaa de jordiske; og saadan som den himmelske er, saadanne ere ogsaa de himmelske.
As was the earth-man, just so are the earth-people; and as was the heaven-man, just so are the heaven-people.
49 Og ligesom vi have baaret den jordiskes Billede, saaledes skulle vi ogsaa bære den himmelskes Billede!
And just as we have borne the image of the earth-man, we should also bear the image of the heaven-man.
50 Men dette siger jeg, Brødre! at Kød og Blod kan ikke arve Guds Rige, ej heller arver Forkrænkeligheden Uforkrænkeligheden.
Now this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God; neither will deterioration inherit incorruptibility.
51 Se, jeg siger eder en Hemmelighed: Alle skulle vi ikke hensove, men vi skulle alle forvandles,
And now, I tell you a mystery: we will not all sleep, but we will all be changed
52 i et Nu, i et Øjeblik, ved den sidste Basun; thi Basunen skal lyde, og de døde skulle oprejses uforkrænkelige, og vi skulle forvandles.
—in a split second, in an eye twinkle, at the last trumpet—the trumpet will blast and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we will be changed.
53 Thi dette forkrænkelige maa iføre sig Uforkrænkelighed, og dette dødelige iføre sig Udødelighed.
Because this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal put on immortality.
54 Men naar dette forkrænkelige har iført sig Uforkrænkelighed, og dette dødelige har iført sig Udødelighed, da skal det Ord opfyldes, som er skrevet: „Døden er opslugt til Sejr.‟
So whenever this corruptible puts on incorruption and this mortal puts on immortality, then this written word will happen: “Death has been swallowed down into victory.”
“Where, O Death, is your sting? Where, O Hades, is your victory?” (Hadēs g86)
56 Men Dødens Brod er Synden, og Syndens Kraft er Loven.
The stinger of death is sin, and the adjunct of sin is the law.
57 Men Gud ske Tak, som giver os Sejren ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus!
Now thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!
58 Derfor, mine elskede Brødre! bliver faste, urokkelige, altid rige i Herrens Gerning, vidende, at eders Arbejde er ikke forgæves i Herren.
So then, my dear brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
