2 Korinterne 11
1 Gid I vilde finde eder i en Smule Daarskab af mig! Dog, I gøre det jo nok.
O that ye tolerated a little of my foolishness, but tolerate me too.
2 Thi jeg er nidkær for eder med Guds Nidkærhed; jeg har jo trolovet eder med een Mand for at fremstille en ren Jomfru for Kristus.
For I am jealous for you with a jealousy of God. For I betrothed you to one husband, a pure virgin to present to the Christ.
3 Men jeg frygter for, at ligesom Slangen bedrog Eva ved sin Træskhed, saaledes skulle eders Tanker fordærves og miste det oprigtige Sindelag over for Kristus.
But I fear lest somehow, as the serpent enticed Eve by his craftiness, so your thoughts might be corrupted from the simplicity in the Christ.
4 Thi dersom nogen kommer og prædiker en anden Jesus, som vi ikke prædikede, eller I faa en anderledes Aand, som I ikke fik, eller et anderledes Evangelium, som I ikke modtoge, da vilde I kønt finde eder deri.
For indeed if a man who comes, preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or ye receive another spirit that ye did not receive, or another good news that ye did not accept, ye well tolerated it.
5 Thi jeg mener ikke at staa tilbage i noget for de saare store Apostle.
For I reckon to come short in nothing of those, superlative apostles.
6 Er jeg end ulærd i Tale, saa er jeg det dog ikke i Kundskab; tværtimod paa enhver Maade have vi lagt den for Dagen for eder i alle Stykker.
But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet not in knowledge, but in everything made known in all things to you.
7 Eller gjorde jeg Synd i at fornedre mig selv, for at I skulde ophøjes, idet jeg forkyndte eder Guds Evangelium for intet?
Or did I commit a sin lowering myself so that ye might be lifted up, because I preached to you the good news of God freely?
8 Andre Menigheder plyndrede jeg, idet jeg tog Sold af dem for at tjene eder, og medens jeg var nærværende hos eder og kom i Trang, faldt jeg ingen til Byrde;
I robbed other congregations, having taken a wage in order for your service.
9 thi min Trang afhjalp Brødrene, da de kom fra Makedonien, og i alt har jeg holdt og vil jeg holde mig uden Tynge for eder.
And being present with you, and when needy, I was a burden to no man. For the brothers who came from Macedonia, they supplied my need. And in everything I kept and I will keep myself non-burdensome to you.
10 Saa vist som Kristi Sandhed er i mig, skal denne Ros ikke fratages mig i Akajas Egne.
The truth of Christ is in me that this pride in me will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.
11 Hvorfor? mon fordi jeg ikke elsker eder? Gud ved det.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
12 Men hvad jeg gør, det vil jeg fremdeles gøre, for at jeg kan afskære dem Lejligheden, som søge en Lejlighed, til at findes os lige i det, hvoraf de rose sig.
But what I do, I also will do, so that I may cut off the opportunity of those who desire an opportunity, that in what they boast, they might appear just as we also.
13 Thi saadanne ere falske Apostle, svigefulde Arbejdere, som paatage sig Skikkelse af Kristi Apostle.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 Og det er intet Under; thi Satan selv paatager sig Skikkelse af en Lysets Engel.
And no marvel, for even Satan disguises himself into an agent of light.
15 Derfor er det ikke noget stort, om ogsaa hans Tjenere paatage sig Skikkelse som Retfærdigheds Tjenere; men deres Ende skal være efter deres Gerninger.
Therefore, it is no great thing if his helpers also disguise themselves as helpers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 Atter siger jeg: Ingen maa agte mig for en Daare; men hvis saa skal være, saa taaler mig endog som en Daare, for at ogsaa jeg kan rose mig en Smule.
I say again, let not any man think me to be foolish, but if otherwise-even if as foolish-accept me, so that I also may boast some a little.
17 Hvad jeg nu taler, taler jeg ikke efter Herrens Sind, men som i Daarskab, idet jeg tillidsfuldt roser mig.
What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of the boast.
18 Efterdi mange rose sig med Hensyn til Kødet, vil ogsaa jeg rose mig.
Since many boast according to the flesh, I too will boast.
19 Gerne finde I eder jo i Daarerne, efterdi I ere kloge.
For being wise, ye gladly tolerate the foolish.
20 I finde eder jo i, om nogen gør eder til Trælle, om nogen æder eder op, om nogen tager til sig, om nogen ophøjer sig, om nogen slaar eder i Ansigtet.
For ye tolerate it if some man enslaves you, if some man devours you, if some man seizes you, if some man lifts himself up, if some man strikes you on the face.
21 Med Skamfuldhed siger jeg det, efterdi vi have været svage; men hvad end nogen trodser paa (jeg taler i Daarskab), derpaa trodser ogsaa jeg.
I speak as from shame, that we were so weak. Yet in whatever any man may be bold in foolishness, I say I too am bold.
22 Ere de Hebræere? Jeg ogsaa. Ere de Israeliter? Jeg ogsaa. Ere de Abrahams Sæd? Jeg ogsaa.
Are they Hebrews? I too. Are they Israelites? I too. Are they a seed of Abraham? I too.
23 Ere de Kristi Tjenere? Jeg taler i Vanvid: Jeg er det mere. Jeg har lidt langt flere Besværligheder, faaet langt flere Slag, været hyppigt i Fængsel, ofte i Dødsfare.
Are they helpers of Christ? (I speak as being mad) I more: in toils, more abundantly; in stripes, countless; in prisons, more frequently; in deaths often.
24 Af Jøder har jeg fem Gange faaet fyrretyve Slag mindre end eet.
From the Jews five times I received forty save one.
25 Tre Gange er jeg bleven pisket, een Gang stenet, tre Gange har jeg lidt Skibbrud, et Døgn har jeg tilbragt paa Dybet;
Thrice I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, thrice I was shipwrecked, I have done a night and a day in the depth,
26 ofte paa Rejser, i Farer fra Floder, i Farer iblandt Røvere, i Farer fra mit Folk, i Farer fra Hedninger, i Farer i By, i Farer i Ørken, i Farer paa Havet, i Farer iblandt falske Brødre;
in frequent journeys, in perils of flowing waters, in perils of bandits, in perils from my race, in perils from Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils at sea, in perils among false brothers,
27 i Møje og Anstrengelse, ofte i Nattevaagen, i Hunger og Tørst, ofte i Faste, i Kulde og Nøgenhed;
in toil and hardship, in frequent sleeplessness, in hunger and thirst, in frequent fasts, in cold and nakedness.
28 foruden hvad der kommer til, mit daglige Overløb, Bekymringen for alle Menighederne.
Besides the external things, crowding upon me daily is the care of all the congregations.
29 Hvem er skrøbelig, uden at ogsaa jeg er det? hvem bliver forarget, uden at det brænder i mig?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I am not made fiery?
30 Dersom jeg skal rose mig, da vil jeg rose mig af min Magtesløshed.
If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness.
The God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, he who is blessed into the ages, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
32 I Damaskus holdt Kong Aretas's Statholder Damaskenernes Stad bevogtet for at gribe mig;
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes wanting to apprehend me.
33 men jeg blev igennem en Luge firet ned over Muren i en Kurv og undflyede af hans Hænder.
And I was lowered in a hamper through a window through the wall, and escaped his hands.
