1 Korinterne 16
1 Men hvad Indsamlingen til de hellige angaar, da gører ogsaa I, ligesom jeg forordnede for Menighederne i Galatien!
Now [I will reply to another question that you asked. You asked] about the [money you are] collecting [to send] to God’s people [in Jerusalem]. Do what I told the congregations in Galatia to do.
2 Hver første Dag i Ugen lægge enhver af eder hjemme hos sig selv noget til Side og samle, hvad han maatte have Lykke til, for at der ikke først skal ske Indsamlinger, naar jeg kommer.
Every Sunday each of you should set aside [at home] some funds [EUP] [for this purpose], in proportion to how much [God] has prospered you. Then you should save it up, so that when I arrive there, you will not need to collect [any more money. Choose some men whom you approve of, to take] this money to Jerusalem.
3 Men naar jeg kommer, vil jeg sende, hvem I maatte finde skikkede dertil, med Breve for at bringe eders Gave til Jerusalem.
Then, when I arrive, I will write letters stating that you have authorized these men to take the funds there.
4 Men dersom det er værd, at ogsaa jeg rejser med, da kunne de rejse med mig.
And if [you] (OR, [I]) think that it is appropriate, I will go with them.
5 Men jeg vil komme til eder, naar jeg er dragen igennem Makedonien; thi jeg drager igennem Makedonien;
Now I plan to travel through Macedonia [province]. I [plan to] come to visit you, but I want to go through Macedonia first.
6 men hos eder vil jeg maaske blive eller endog overvintre, for at I kunne befordre mig videre, hvor jeg saa rejser hen.
Perhaps I will stay with you for a short while, or I may stay with you for the whole winter, in order that you yourselves can provide some of the things [that I will need] [EUP] for my next trip.
7 Thi nu vil jeg ikke se eder paa Gennemrejse; jeg haaber nemlig at forblive nogen Tid hos eder, om Herren vil tilstede det.
I do not want to see you just for a short time and then continue my trip. I am hoping to stay with you for a while, if the Lord [Jesus] allows me to do that.
8 Men i Efesus vil jeg forblive indtil Pinsen;
But I will stay [here] in Ephesus [city] until [after] the Pentecost [festival].
9 thi en Dør staar mig aaben, stor og virksom, og der er mange Modstandere.
[I want to do that] because [God] has given me a great opportunity [MET] [to proclaim his good message here]. [As a result of my work here, God is producing] great results. I also want to stay here because there are many people here who oppose [my work, and I need to refute them].
10 Men om Timotheus kommer, da ser til, at han kan færdes hos eder uden Frygt; thi han gør Herrens Gerning, saavel som jeg.
When Timothy arrives [there in Corinth], treat him respectfully [LIT], because he is working for the Lord just as I am.
11 Derfor maa ingen ringeagte ham; befordrer ham videre i Fred, for at han kan komme til mig; thi jeg venter ham med Brødrene.
Do not let anyone despise him. And when he leaves there, give him some of the things that he needs [for his trip] [EUP] [here], and also [ask God to] bless him. I am waiting for him to come, along with the other fellow believers [who have been traveling with him].
12 Men hvad Broderen Apollos angaar, da har jeg meget opfordret ham til at komme til eder med Brødrene; men det var i hvert Fald ikke hans Villie at komme nu, men han vil komme, naar han faar belejlig Tid.
[You also asked] about our fellow believer, Apollos. I urged him strongly that he should go back to you with the three fellow believers [who came here from Corinth]. He was not at all willing to go [now], but he will go later, when he has an opportunity.
13 Vaager, staar faste i Troen, værer mandige, værer stærke!
Be on guard [against anything that would hinder you spiritually]. You have believed [the true message]; continue believing it firmly. Be courageous. Keep strong [in your relationship with God].
14 Alt ske hos eder i Kærlighed!
Act in a loving [way] in everything that [you do].
15 Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre — I kende Stefanas's Hus, at det er Akajas Førstegrøde, og de have hengivet sig selv til at tjene de hellige —
You know that Stephanas and his family were the first ones [there] in Achaia [province to believe in Christ] [IDM]. They have devoted themselves to helping God’s people.
16 til at ogsaa I skulle underordne eder under saadanne og enhver, som arbejder med og har Besvær.
My fellow believers, I urge you to submit yourselves to them and to people like them who do [God’s] work and who work hard.
17 Men jeg glæder mig ved Stefanas's og Fortunatus's og Akaikus's Nærværelse, fordi disse have udfyldt Savnet af eder;
I was glad when Stephanas, Fortunatus, and Achaicus arrived here [from Corinth], because [they did things for] me that you were not able to do [because you were not with me].
18 thi de have vederkvæget min Aand og eders. Skønner derfor paa saadanne!
They comforted and encouraged me [SYN], and [I expect that this news from me] will do the same for you. You should honor [them, and you should also honor] others like them.
19 Menighederne i Asien hilse eder. Akvila og Priska hilse eder meget i Herren tillige med Menigheden i deres Hus.
The congregations [here] in Asia [province] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you. Aquila and [his wife] Priscilla and the congregation that meets in their house (send their warm greetings to/say that they are thinking fondly of) you because both they and you belong to the Lord.
20 Alle Brødrene hilse eder. Hilser hverandre med et helligt Kys!
All your fellow believers [here] (send their greetings to/say that they are thinking of) you. Greet each other affectionately, as fellow believers [should].
21 Hilsenen med min, Paulus's egen Haand.
Now I, Paul, having taken the pen from the hand of my secretary, write with my own hand to say that I am thinking fondly of you/to give you my greetings. I do this to show you that this letter really comes from me.
22 Dersom nogen ikke elsker Herren, han være en Forbandelse! Maran Atha.
(I pray that God will/May God) curse/cause bad things to happen to (anyone who does not love the Lord Jesus. I pray that our Lord will come soon/May our Lord come soon)!
23 Den Herres Jesu Naade være med eder!
I pray that our Lord Jesus will/May our Lord Jesus (continue to act toward you all kindly/in ways that you do not deserve.)
24 Min Kærlighed med eder alle i Kristus Jesus!
I love all of you who have a close relationship with Christ Jesus.
