Romerne 9
1 Sandhed siger jeg i Kristus, jeg lyver ikke, min Samvittighed vidner med mig i den Helligaand,
I say the truth in Meshiha, and lie not; my conscience witnesseth for me in the Spirit of Holiness,
2 at jeg har en stor Sorg og en uafladelig Kummer i mit Hjerte.
that I have great grief, and (that) the sorrow of my heart ceaseth not.
3 Thi jeg kunde ønske selv at være bandlyst fra Kristus til Bedste for mine Brødre, mine Frænder efter Kødet,
For I could pray that I myself might be one accursed from Meshiha instead of my brethren and my kinsmen who are in the flesh;
4 de, som jo ere Israeliter, hvem Sønneudkaarelsen og Herligheden og Pagterne og Lovgivningen og Gudstjenesten og Forjættelserne tilhøre,
who are the sons of Israel, and whose was the adoption of sons, and the glory, and the covenants, and the law, and the ministry, and the promises,
5 hvem Fædrene tilhøre, og af hvem Kristus er efter Kødet, han, som er Gud over alle Ting, højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
and the fathers; and from whom appeared the Meshiha in the flesh, who is Aloha over all: his be praises and benedictions to the age of ages. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Ikke dog som om Guds Ord har glippet; thi ikke alle, som stamme fra Israel, ere Israel;
FOR the word of Aloha hath not really fallen: for not all who are of Israel are Israel;
7 ej heller ere alle Børn, fordi de ere Abrahams Sæd, men: „I Isak skal en Sæd faa Navn efter dig.‟
neither also are they who are of the seed of Abraham all children; because it was said, In Ishok shall be called unto thee the seed:
8 Det vil sige: Ikke Kødets Børn ere Guds Børn, men Forjættelsens Børn regnes for Sæd.
but that is, the children of the flesh are not the children of Aloha, but the children of the promise are reckoned the seed.
9 Thi et Forjættelsesord er dette: „Ved denne Tid vil jeg komme, saa skal Sara have en Søn.‟
For the promise is this word, In this time I will come, and a son shall be unto Sara.
10 Men saaledes skete det ikke alene dengang, men ogsaa med Rebekka, da hun var frugtsommelig ved een, Isak, vor Fader.
And not this only, but also Raphka when with one, our father Ishok, she had association,
11 Thi da de endnu ikke vare fødte og ikke havde gjort noget godt eller ondt, blev der, for at Guds Udvælgelses Beslutning skulde staa fast, ikke i Kraft af Gerninger, men i Kraft af ham, der kalder,
before her sons were born, and had not wrought good or evil, the (choice) of Aloha was (made) known before that it should remain: not by works, but by him who called:
12 sagt til hende: „Den ældste skal tjene den yngste, ‟
for it was said, The elder shall be servant to the less;
13 som der er skrevet: „Jakob elskede jeg, men Esau hadede jeg.‟
as it is written, Jakub have I loved, and Isu have I hated.
14 Hvad skulle vi da sige? mon der er Uretfærdighed hos Gud? Det være langt fra!
What then say we? Is there iniquity with Aloha? Not so:
15 Thi han siger til Moses: „Jeg vil være barmhjertig imod den, hvem jeg er barmhjertig imod, og forbarme mig over den, hvem jeg forbarmer mig over.‟
behold, also, he said unto Musha, I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy, and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious.
16 Altsaa staar det ikke til den, som vil, ej heller til den, som løber, men til Gud, som er barmhjertig.
Therefore it is not by him who willeth, nor by him who runneth, but by Aloha the Merciful.
17 Thi Skriften siger til Farao: „Netop derfor lod jeg dig fremstaa, for at jeg kunde vise min Magt paa dig, og for at mit Navn skulde forkyndes paa hele Jorden.‟
For it is said in the scripture to Pherun, For this I have raised thee up, that I might show in thee my power, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.
18 Saa forbarmer han sig da over den, som han vil, men forhærder den, som han vil.
Then upon whom he willeth he is merciful, and whom he willeth he hardeneth.
19 Du vil nu sige til mig: Hvad klager han da over endnu? thi hvem staar hans Villie imod?
Perhaps thou wilt say, Of what then doth he complain; for who shall arise against his will?
20 Ja, men, hvem er dog du, o Menneske! som gaar i Rette med Gud? mon noget, som blev dannet, kan sige til den, som dannede det: Hvorfor gjorde du mig saaledes?
Who then art thou, O man, who givest answer against Aloha? Will the mass say to him who formeth it, Why thus hast thou formed me?
21 Eller har Pottemageren ikke Raadighed over Leret til af den samme Masse at gøre et Kar til Ære, et andet til Vanære?
Or, hath not the potter power over his clay, that from the (same) mass he might make vessels, the one to honour, and the other to vileness?
22 Men hvad om nu Gud, skønt han vilde vise sin Vrede og kundgøre sin Magt, dog med stor Langmodighed taalte Vredes-Kar, som vare beredte til Fortabelse,
BUT if Aloha, willing to reveal his wrath, and to make known his power, in his much patience bore with the vessels of wrath who were perfected for destruction,
23 ogsaa for at kundgøre sin Herligheds Rigdom over Barmhjertigheds-Kar, som han forud havde beredt til Herlighed?
and poured his mercy upon the vessels of mercy who were prepared of Aloha for glory,
24 Og hertil kaldte han ogsaa os, ikke alene af Jøder, men ogsaa af Hedninger,
who are we, (ourselves) the called, not only of the Jihudoyee, but also of the Gentiles:
25 som han ogsaa siger hos Hoseas: „Det, som ikke var mit Folk, vil jeg kalde mit Folk, og hende, som ikke var den elskede, den elskede;
so also in Husha he said, I will call them my people who were not my people, and on those on whom I was not merciful, will I be merciful:
26 og det skal ske, at paa det Sted, hvor der blev sagt til dem: I ere ikke mit Folk, der skulle de kaldes den levende Guds Børn.‟
for it shall be in the place where they were not called my people, there shall they be called the children of Aloha the Living.
27 Men Esajas udraaber over Israel: „Om end Israels Børns Tal var som Havets Sand, saa skal kun Levningen frelses.
But Eshaia proclaims of the sons of Israel: Though the number of the sons of Israel were as the sand which is on the sea, the residue of them shall be saved.
28 Thi idet Herren opgør Regnskab og afslutter det i Hast, vil han fuldbyrde det paa Jorden.‟
The Lord hath decreed and determined the word, and will perform it upon the earth.
29 Og som Esajas forud har sagt: „Dersom den Herre Zebaoth ikke havde levnet os en Sæd, da vare vi blevne som Sodoma og gjorte lige med Gomorra.‟
And as that which Eshaia had said before: Unless the Lord of sebaoth had left to us a residue, as Sedum should we have been, and to Amura have been likened.
30 Hvad skulle vi da sige? At Hedninger, som ikke jagede efter Retfærdighed, fik Retfærdighed, nemlig Retfærdigheden af Tro;
WHAT then shall we say? That the Gentiles who have not followed after righteousness have attained righteousness, but that righteousness which is of faith:
31 men Israel, som jagede efter en Retfærdigheds Lov, naaede ikke til en saadan Lov.
but Israel, who followed after the law of righteousness, unto the law of righteousness have not attained.
32 Hvorfor? fordi de ikke søgte den af Tro, men som af Gerninger. De stødte an paa Anstødsstenen,
For why? Because it was not by faith, but by the works of the law: for they stumbled at the stone of stumbling;
33 som der er skrevet: „Se, jeg sætter i Zion en Anstødssten og en Forargelses Klippe; og den, som tror paa ham, skal ikke blive til Skamme.‟
as it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling And a rock of offence; And whosoever in him shall believe Shall not be ashamed.
