1 Korinterne 10
1 Thi jeg vil ikke, Brødre, at I skulle være uvidende om, at vore Fædre vare alle under Skyen og gik alle igennem Havet
BUT I would not that you should be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
2 og bleve alle døbte til Moses i Skyen og i Havet
and were all baptised unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;
3 og spiste alle den samme åndelige Mad
and did all eat the same spiritual meat;
4 og drak alle den samme åndelige Drik; thi de drak af en åndelig Klippe, som fulgte med; men Klippen var Kristus.
and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual rock which followed them; but that rock was Christ.
5 Alligevel fandt Gud ikke Behag i de fleste af dem; thi de bleve slagne ned i Ørkenen.
Nevertheless with the most of them God was not well pleased, for they were destroyed in the wilderness.
6 Men disse Ting skete som Forbilleder for os, for at vi ikke skulle begære, hvad ondt er, således som hine begærede.
Now these things were examples for us, that we might not be coveters of evil things, as they also coveted.
7 Bliver ej heller Afgudsdyrkere som nogle af dem, ligesom der er skrevet: "Folket satte sig ned at spise og drikke, og de stode op at lege."
Neither be ye idolaters as some of them; as it is written, “The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to sport themselves.”
8 Lader os ej heller bedrive Utugt, som nogle af dem bedreve Utugt, og der faldt på een Dag tre og tyve Tusinde.
Neither let us commit whoredom, as some of them also committed, and in one day fell twenty-three thousand.
9 Lader os ej heller friste Herren, som nogle af dem fristede ham og bleve ødelagte af Slanger.
Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.
10 Knurrer ej heller, som nogle af dem knurrede og bleve ødelagte af Ødelæggeren.
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and perished by the destroyer.
11 Men dette skete dem forbilledligt, men det blev skrevet til Advarsel for os, til hvem Tidernes Ende er kommen. (aiōn g165)
Now all these things happened unto them as examples, but they are written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages are come. (aiōn g165)
12 Derfor den, som tykkes at stå, se til, at han ikke falder!
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed lest he fall.
13 Der er ikke kommet andre end menneskelige Fristelser over eder, og trofast er Gud, som ikke vil tillade, at I fristes over Evne, men som sammen med Fristelsen vil skabe også Udgangen af den, for at I må kunne udholde den.
No temptation hath overtaken you, but what is common to men. And God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted beyond what ye are able to bear; but will with the temptation make also a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear up under it.
14 Derfor, mine elskede, flyr fra Afgudsdyrkelsen!
Wherefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.
15 Jeg taler som til forstandige; dømmer selv, hvad jeg siger.
I speak as unto wise men: judge ye what I say.
16 Velsignelsens Kalk, som vi velsigne, er den ikke Samfund med Kristi Blod? det Brød, som vi bryde, er det ikke Samfund med Kristi Legeme?
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?
17 Fordi der er eet Brød, ere vi mange eet Legeme; thi vi få alle Del i det ene Brød.
For we, though many, are one loaf, one body; for we all partake of that one loaf.
18 Ser til Israel efter Kødet; have de, som spise Ofrene, ikke Samfund med Alteret?
Behold Israel after the flesh. Are not they who eat of the sacrifices partakers with the altar?
19 Hvad siger jeg da? At Afgudsofferkød er noget? eller at en Afgud er noget?
What do I say then? that an idol is any thing, or that which is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?
20 Nej! men hvad Hedningerne ofre, ofre de til onde Ånder og ikke til Gud; men jeg vil ikke, at I skulle få Samfund med de onde Ånder.
But that what the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to daemons, and not to God: and I would not have you in communion with daemons.
21 I kunne ikke drikke Herrens Kalk og onde Ånders Kalk; I kunne ikke være delagtige i Herrens Bord og i onde Ånders Bord.
Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of daemons: ye cannot be partakers of the table of the Lord, and the table of daemons.
22 Eller skulle vi vække Herrens Nidkærhed? Mon vi ere stærkere end han?
Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
23 Alt er tilladt, men ikke alt er gavnligt; alt er tilladt, men ikke alt opbygger.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not profitable; all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.
24 Ingen søge sit eget, men Næstens!
Let no man seek his own gratification, but every one another’s good.
25 Alt, hvad der sælges i Slagterbod, spiser det, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn;
Every thing which is sold in the shambles eat, asking no question for conscience sake;
26 thi Herrens er Jorden og dens Fylde.
“for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.”
27 Dersom nogen af de vantro indbyder eder, og I ville gå derhen, da spiser alt det, som sættes for eder, uden at undersøge noget af Samvittigheds-Hensyn.
And if any one of those, who do not believe, invite you, and ye incline to go, eat every thing set before you, asking no question for conscience sake.
28 Men dersom nogen siger til eder: "Dette er Offerkød," da lad være at spise for hans Skyld, som gav det til Kende, og for Samvittighedens Skyld.
But if any person say unto you, This is an idol’s sacrifice, eat not of it, for his sake who pointed it out, and for conscience sake. For the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.
29 Samvittigheden siger jeg, ikke ens egen, men den andens; thi hvorfor skal min Frihed dømmes af en anden Samvittighed?
Conscience indeed I say, not merely thine own, but that of the other person.
30 Dersom jeg nyder det med Taksigelse, hvorfor hører jeg da ilde for det, som jeg takker for?
For why is my liberty abridged by another’s conscience? If I truly with thanksgiving am a partaker, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?
31 Hvad enten I derfor spise eller drikke, eller hvad I gøre, da gører alt til Guds Ære!
Whether therefore ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all things to the glory of God.
32 Værer uden Anstød både for Jøder og Grækere og for Guds Menighed,
Give no occasion of stumbling either to the Jews or the Gentiles, or the church of God:
33 ligesom også jeg i alt stræber at tækkes alle, idet jeg ikke søger, hvad der gavner mig selv, men hvad der gavner de mange, for at de kunne frelses.
even as I please all men, not seeking my own advantage, but that of the many, that they may be saved.
