1 Korinterne 4
1 Saaledes agte man os: som Kristi Tjenere og Husholdere over Guds Hemmeligheder!
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of the Messiah, and stewards of the mysteries of YHWH.
2 I øvrigt kræves her af Husholdere, at man maa findes tro.
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
3 Men mig er det saare lidet at bedømmes af eder eller af en menneskelig Ret; ja, jeg bedømmer end ikke mig selv.
But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 Thi vel ved jeg intet med mig selv, dog er jeg ikke dermed retfærdiggjort; men den, som bedømmer mig, er Herren.
For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is YHWH.
5 Derfor dømmer ikke noget før Tiden, førend Herren kommer, som baade skal bringe for Lyset det, som er skjult i Mørket, og aabenbare Hjerternes Raad; og da skal enhver faa sin Ros fra Gud.
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until Yahushua come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of YHWH.
6 Men dette, Brødre! har jeg anvendt paa mig selv og Apollos for eders Skyld, for at I paa os kunne lære dette „ikke ud over, hvad der staar skrevet‟, for at ikke nogen af eder for eens Skyld skal opblæse sig mod en anden.
And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.
7 Thi hvem giver dig Fortrin? og hvad har du, som du ikke har faaet givet? men naar du virkelig har faaet det, hvorfor roser du dig da, som om du ikke havde faaet det?
For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?
8 I ere allerede mættede, I ere allerede blevne rige, I ere blevne Konger uden os, ja, gid I dog vare blevne Konger, for at ogsaa vi kunde være Konger med eder!
Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I wished indeed ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.
9 Thi mig synes, at Gud har fremstillet os Apostle som de ringeste, ligesom dødsdømte; thi et Skuespil ere vi blevne for Verden, baade for Engle og Mennesker.
For I think that YHWH hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men.
10 Vi ere Daarer for Kristi Skyld, men I ere kloge i Kristus; vi svage, men I stærke; I hædrede, men vi vanærede.
We are fools for the Messiah's sake, but ye are wise in the Messiah; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised.
11 Indtil denne Time lide vi baade Hunger og Tørst og Nøgenhed og faa Næveslag og have intet blivende Sted
Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace;
12 og arbejde møjsommeligt med vore egne Hænder. Udskælder man os, velsigne vi; forfølger man os, finde vi os deri;
And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it:
13 spotter man os, give vi gode Ord; som Verdens Fejeskarn ere vi blevne, et Udskud for alle indtil nu.
Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.
14 Ikke for at beskæmme eder skriver jeg dette; men jeg paaminder eder som mine elskede Børn.
I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
15 Thi om I end have ti Tusinde Opdragere i Kristus, have I dog ikke mange Fædre; thi jeg har i Kristus Jesus avlet eder ved Evangeliet.
For though ye have ten thousand instructors in the Messiah, yet have ye not many fathers: for in the Messiah Yahushua I have begotten you through the evangel.
16 Jeg formaner eder altsaa, vorder mine Efterfølgere!
Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me.
17 Derfor har jeg sendt Timotheus til eder, som er mit elskede og trofaste Barn i Herren, og han skal minde eder om mine Veje i Kristus, saaledes som jeg lærer alle Vegne i enhver Menighed.
For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in YHWH, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in the Messiah, as I teach every where in every assembly.
18 Men nogle ere blevne opblæste, i den Tanke, at jeg ikke kommer til eder;
Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you.
19 men jeg skal snart komme til eder, om Herren vil, og gøre mig bekendt, ikke med de opblæstes Ord, men med deres Kraft.
But I will come to you shortly, if YHWH will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power.
20 Thi Guds Rige bestaar ikke i Ord, men i Kraft.
For the kingdom of YHWH is not in word, but in power.
21 Hvad ville I? Skal jeg komme til eder med Ris eller med Kærlighed og Sagtmodigheds Aand?
What will ye? shall I come unto you with a rod, or in love, and in the spirit of meekness?
