Romerne 10
1 Brødre! mit Hjertes Ønske og Bøn til Gud for dem er om deres Frelse.
Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they may be saved.
2 Thi jeg giver dem det Vidnesbyrd, at de have Nidkærhed for Gud, men ikke med Forstand;
For I testify for them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
3 thi da de ikke kendte Guds Retfærdighed og tragtede efter at opstille deres egen Retfærdighed, saa bøjede de sig ikke under Guds Retfærdighed.
For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own plan of justification, they have not submitted to the righteousness of God.
4 Thi Kristus er Lovens Ende til Retfærdighed for hver den, som tror.
For Christ is the end of the law for justification, to every one that believes.
5 Moses skriver jo, at det Menneske, som gør den Retfærdighed, der er af Loven, skal leve ved den.
For Moses describes the justification which is by the law: That the man who does these things shall live by them.
6 Men Retfærdigheden af Tro siger saaledes: Sig ikke i dit Hjerte: Hvem vil fare op til Himmelen? nemlig for at hente Kristus ned;
But the justification by faith speaks thus: Say not in your heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? that is, to bring Christ down;
or, Who shall descend into the abyss? that is, to bring Christ again from the dead. (Abyssos g12)
8 Men hvad siger den? Ordet er dig nær, i din Mund og i dit Hjerte, det er det Troens Ord, som vi prædike.
But what says it? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart; that is, the word of faith which we preach;
9 Thi dersom du med din Mund bekender Jesus som Herre og tror i dit Hjerte, at Gud oprejste ham fra de døde, da skal du blive frelst.
that if you will confess with your mouth, that Jesus is Lord, and will believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 Thi med Hjertet tror man til Retfærdighed, og med Munden bekender man til Frelse.
For with the heart we believe, in order to justification; and with the mouth we make confession, it order to salvation.
11 Skriften siger jo: „Hver den, som tror paa ham, skal ikke blive til Skamme.‟
For the scripture says: He that believes on him shall not be ashamed.
12 Thi der er ikke Forskel paa Jøde og Græker; thi den samme er alles Herre, rig nok for alle dem, som paakalde ham.
For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord of all is rich to all that call on him:
13 Thi hver den, som paakalder Herrens Navn, skal blive frelst.
For every one that calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
14 Hvorledes skulde de nu paakalde den, paa hvem de ikke have troet? og hvorledes skulde de tro den, som de ikke have hørt? og hvorledes skulde de høre, uden der er nogen, som prædiker?
How, then, shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?
15 og hvorledes skulde de prædike, dersom de ikke bleve udsendte? Som der er skrevet: „Hvor dejlige ere deres Fødder, som forkynde godt Budskab.‟
And how shall they preach, unless they be sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace, who bring joyous news of good things!
16 Dog ikke alle løde Evangeliet; thi Esajas siger: „Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os?‟
But they have not all obeyed the gospel; for Isaiah says: Lord, who has believed our report?
17 Altsaa kommer Troen af det, som høres, men det, som høres, kommer igennem Kristi Ord.
So, then, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
18 Men jeg siger: Have de ikke hørt? Jo vist, „over hele Jorden er deres Røst udgaaet og til Jorderiges Grænser deres Ord.‟
But I say: Have they not heard? Yes, verily; their voice has gone forth into all the earth: and their words to the ends of the world.
19 Men jeg siger: Har Israel ikke forstaaet det? Først siger Moses: „Jeg vil gøre eder nidkære paa et Folk, som ikke er et Folk, imod et uforstandigt Folk vil jeg opirre eder.‟
But I say: Did not Israel know? First, Moses says: I will excite you to jealousy by that which is no nation; and by a foolish nation I will provoke you to wrath.
20 Men Esajas drister sig til at sige: „Jeg blev funden af dem, som ikke søgte mig; jeg blev aabenbar for dem, som ikke spurgte efter mig.‟
But Isaiah is very bold, and says: I was found by them that sought me not: I was made manifest to them that asked not after me.
21 Men om Israel siger han: „Den hele Dag udstrakte jeg mine Hænder imod et ulydigt og genstridigt Folk.‟
But with respect to Israel, he says: All day long have I stretched out my hands to a disobedient and contradicting people.
