Romerne 5
1 Altsaa retfærdiggjorte af Tro have vi Fred med Gud ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
Standing then acquitted as the result of faith, let us enjoy peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
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;
through whom also, as the result of faith, we have obtained an introduction into that state of favour with God in which we stand, and we exult in hope of some day sharing in God's glory.
3 ja, ikke det alene, men vi rose os ogsaa af Trængslerne, idet vi vide, at Trængselen virker Udholdenhed,
And not only so: we also exult in our sufferings, knowing as we do, that suffering produces fortitude;
4 men Udholdenheden Prøvethed, men Prøvetheden Haab,
fortitude, ripeness of character; and ripeness 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 this hope never disappoints, because God's love for us floods our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 Thi medens vi endnu vare kraftesløse, døde Kristus til den bestemte Tid for ugudelige.
For already, while we were still helpless, Christ at the right moment died for the ungodly.
7 Næppe vil nemlig nogen dø for en retfærdig — for den gode var der jo maaske nogen, som tog sig paa at dø —,
Why, it is scarcely conceivable that any one would die for a simply just man, although for a good and lovable man perhaps some one, here and there, will have the courage even to lay down his life.
8 men Gud beviser sin Kærlighed over for os, ved at Kristus døde for os, medens vi endnu vare Syndere.
But God gives proof of His love to us in Christ's dying for us 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.
If therefore we have now been pronounced free from guilt through His blood, much more shall we be delivered from God's anger through Him.
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 while we were hostile to God we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, it is still more certain that now that we are reconciled, we shall obtain salvation through 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 so, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now obtained that 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; (
What follows? This comparison. Through one man sin entered into the world, and through sin death, and so death passed to all mankind in turn, in that all sinned.
13 thi inden Loven var der Synd i Verden; men Synd tilregnes ikke, hvor der ikke er Lov;
For prior to the Law sin was already in the world; only it is not entered in the account against us when 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 Death reigned as king from Adam to Moses even over those who had not sinned, as Adam did, against Law. And in Adam we have a type of Him whose coming was still future.
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 God's free gift immeasurably outweighs the transgression. For if through the transgression of the one individual the mass of mankind have died, infinitely greater is the generosity with which God's grace, and the gift given in His grace which found expression in the one man Jesus Christ, have been bestowed on the mass of mankind.
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.
And it is not with the gift as it was with the results of one individual's sin; for the judgement which one individual provoked resulted in condemnation, whereas the free gift after a multitude of transgressions results in acquittal.
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, through the transgression of the one individual, Death made use of the one individual to seize the sovereignty, all the more shall those who receive God's overflowing grace and gift of righteousness reign as kings in Life through the one individual, 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.
It follows then that just as the result of a single transgression is a condemnation which extends to the whole race, so also the result of a single decree of righteousness is a life-giving acquittal which extends to the whole race.
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 individual the mass of mankind were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One the mass of mankind will be constituted righteous.
20 Men Loven kom til, for at Faldet kunde blive større; men hvor Synden blev større, der blev Naaden end mere overvættes,
Now Law was brought in later on, so that transgression might increase. But where sin increased, grace has overflowed;
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 as sin has exercised kingly sway in inflicting death, so grace, too, may exercise kingly sway in bestowing a righteousness which results in the Life of the Ages through Jesus Christ our Lord. (aiōnios g166)
