Romerne 5
1 Altsaa retfærdiggjorte af Tro have vi Fred med Gud ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
Therefore, having been pronounced righteous as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
2 ved hvem vi ogsaa have faaet Adgang ved Troen til denne Naade, hvori vi staa, og vi rose os af Haab om Guds Herlighed;
It is through him that, by reason of our faith, we have obtained admission to that place in God’s favor in which we now stand. So let us exult in our hope of attaining God’s glorious ideal.
3 ja, ikke det alene, men vi rose os ogsaa af Trængslerne, idet vi vide, at Trængselen virker Udholdenhed,
And not only that, but let us also exult in our troubles;
4 men Udholdenheden Prøvethed, men Prøvetheden Haab,
for we know that trouble develops endurance, and endurance strength of character, and strength of character hope,
5 men Haabet beskæmmer ikke; thi Guds Kærlighed er udøst i vore Hjerter ved den Helligaand, som blev given os.
and that hope never disappoints. For the love of God has filled our hearts through the Holy Spirit which was given us;
6 Thi medens vi endnu vare kraftesløse, døde Kristus til den bestemte Tid for ugudelige.
seeing that, while we were still powerless, Christ, in God’s good time, died on behalf of the godless.
7 Næppe vil nemlig nogen dø for en retfærdig — for den gode var der jo maaske nogen, som tog sig paa at dø —,
Even for an upright person scarcely anyone will die. For a really good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
8 men Gud beviser sin Kærlighed over for os, ved at Kristus døde for os, medens vi endnu vare Syndere.
But God puts his love for us beyond all doubt by the fact that Christ died on our behalf while we were still sinners.
9 Saa meget mere skulle vi altsaa, da vi nu ere blevne retfærdiggjorte ved hans Blod, frelses ved ham fra Vreden.
Much more, then, now that we have been pronounced righteous by virtue of the shedding of his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath of God.
10 Thi naar vi, da vi vare Fjender, bleve forligte med Gud ved hans Søns Død, da skulle vi meget mere, efter at vi ere blevne forligte, frelses ved hans Liv,
For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, much more, now that we have become reconciled, will we be saved by virtue of Christ’s life.
11 ja, ikke det alene, men ogsaa saaledes, at vi rose os af Gud ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus, ved hvem vi nu have faaet Forligelsen.
And not only that, but we exult in God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, through whom we have now obtained this reconciliation.
12 Derfor, ligesom Synden kom ind i Verden ved eet Menneske, og Døden ved Synden, og Døden saaledes trængte igennem til alle Mennesker, efterdi de syndede alle; (
Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and through sin came death; so, also, death spread to all humanity, because every person has sinned.
13 thi inden Loven var der Synd i Verden; men Synd tilregnes ikke, hvor der ikke er Lov;
Even before the time of the Law there was sin in the world; but sin cannot be charged against someone where no Law exists.
14 dog herskede Døden fra Adam til Moses ogsaa over dem, som ikke syndede i Lighed med Adams Overtrædelse, han, som er et Forbillede paa den, der skulde komme.
Yet, from Adam to Moses, death reigned even over those whose sin was not a breach of a law, as Adam’s was. And Adam foreshadows the one to come.
15 Men det er ikke saaledes med Naadegaven som med Faldet; thi døde de mange ved den enes Fald, da har meget mere Guds Naade og Gaven i det ene Menneskes Jesu Kristi Naade udbredt sig overflødig, til de mange.
But there is a contrast between Adam’s offense and God’s gracious gift. For, if by reason of the offense of the one man the whole human race died, far more were the loving kindness of God, and the gift given in the loving kindness of the one man, Jesus Christ, lavished on the whole human race.
16 Og Gaven er ikke som igennem en enkelt, der syndede; thi Dommen blev ud fra en enkelt til Fordømmelse, men Naadegaven blev ud fra mange Fald til Retfærdiggørelse.
There is a contrast, too, between the gift and the results of the one man’s sin. The judgment, which followed on the one man’s sin, resulted in condemnation, but God’s gracious gift, which followed on many offenses, resulted in a decree of righteousness.
17 Thi naar paa Grund af den enes Fald Døden herskede ved den ene, da skulle meget mere de, som modtage den overvættes Naade og Retfærdigheds Gave, herske i Liv ved den ene, Jesus Kristus.)
For if, by reason of the offense of the one man, death reigned through that one man, far more will those, on whom God’s loving kindness and his gift of righteousness are lavished, find life, and reign through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Altsaa, ligesom det ved eens Fald blev for alle Mennesker til Fordømmelse, saaledes ogsaa ved eens Retfærdighed for alle Mennesker til Retfærdiggørelse til Liv.
Briefly then, just as a single offense resulted for all humanity in condemnation, so, too, a single decree of righteousness resulted for all humanity in that declaration of righteousness which brings life.
19 Thi ligesom ved det ene Menneskes Ulydighed de mange bleve til Syndere, saa skulle ogsaa ved den enes Lydighed de mange blive til retfærdige.
For, as through the disobedience of the one man the whole human race was rendered sinful, so, too, through the obedience of the one, the whole human race will be rendered righteous.
20 Men Loven kom til, for at Faldet kunde blive større; men hvor Synden blev større, der blev Naaden end mere overvættes,
Law was introduced in order that offenses might be multiplied. But, where sins were multiplied, the loving kindness of God was lavished the more,
21 for at, ligesom Synden herskede ved Døden, saaledes ogsaa Naaden skulde herske ved Retfærdighed til et evigt Liv ved Jesus Kristus, vor Herre. (aiōnios g166)
in order that, just as sin had reigned in the realm of death, so, too, might loving-kindness reign through righteousness, and result in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
