2 Korinterne 11
1 Gid I vilde finde eder i en Smule Dårskab af mig! Dog, I gør det Jo nok.
I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me.
2 Thi jeg er nidkær for eder med Guds Nidkærhed; jeg har jo trolovet eder med een Mand for at fremstille en ren Jomfru for Kristus.
For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Messiah.
3 Men jeg frygter for, at ligesom Slangen bedrog Eva ved sin Træskhed, således skulle eders Tanker fordærves og miste det oprigtige Sindelag over for Kristus.
But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Havah in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the sincerity and purity that is in the Messiah.
4 Thi dersom nogen kommer og prædiker en anden Jesus, som vi ikke prædikede, eller I få en anderledes Ånd, som I ikke fik, eller et anderledes Evangelium, som I ikke modtoge, da vilde I kønt finde eder deri.
For if he who comes preaches another Yeshua, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough.
5 Thi jeg mener ikke at stå tilbage i noget for de såre store Apostle.
For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best emissaries.
6 Er jeg end ulærd i Tale, så er jeg det dog ikke i Kundskab; tværtimod på enhver Måde have vi lagt den for Dagen for eder i alle Stykker.
Even though I am unskilled in speech, I am not unskilled in knowledge. But in every way we have made this known to you in all things.
7 Eller gjorde jeg Synd i at fornedre mig selv, for at I skulde ophøjes, idet jeg forkyndte eder Guds Evangelium for intet?
Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge?
8 Andre Menigheder plyndrede jeg, idet jeg tog Sold af dem for at tjene eder, og medens jeg var nærværende hos eder og kom i Trang, faldt jeg ingen til Byrde;
I robbed other congregations, taking wages from them that I might serve you.
9 thi min Trang afhjalp Brødrene, da de kom fra Makedonien, og i alt har jeg holdt og vil jeg holde mig uden Tynge for eder.
When I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.
10 Så vist som Kristi Sandhed er i mig, skal denne Ros ikke fratages mig i Akajas Egne.
As the truth of Messiah is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
11 Hvorfor? mon fordi jeg ikke elsker eder? Gud ved det.
Why? Because I do not love you? God knows.
12 Men hvad jeg gør, det vil jeg fremdeles gøre, for at jeg kan afskære dem Lejligheden, som søge en Lejlighed, til at findes os lige i det, hvoraf de rose sig.
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
13 Thi sådanne ere falske Apostle, svigefulde Arbejdere, som påtage sig Skikkelse af Kristi Apostle.
For such people are false emissaries, deceitful workers, masquerading as Messiah's emissaries.
14 Og det er intet Under; thi Satan selv påtager sig Skikkelse af en Lysets Engel.
And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15 Derfor er det ikke noget stort, om også hans Tjenere påtage sig Skikkelse som Retfærdigheds Tjenere; men deres Ende skal være efter deres Gerninger.
It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16 Atter siger jeg: Ingen må agte mig for en Dåre; men hvis så skal være, så tåler mig endog som en Dåre, for at også jeg kan rose mig en Smule.
I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
17 Hvad jeg nu taler, taler jeg ikke efter Herrens Sind, men som i Dårskab, idet jeg så tillidsfuldt roser mig.
That which I speak, I do not speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.
18 Efterdi mange rose sig med Hensyn til Kødet, vil også jeg rose mig.
Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.
19 Gerne finde I eder jo i Dårerne, efterdi I ere kloge.
For you bear with the foolish gladly, being wise.
20 I finde eder jo i, om nogen gør eder til Trælle, om nogen æder eder op, om nogen tager til sig, om nogen ophøjer sig, om nogen slår eder i Ansigtet.
For you put up with it if someone makes slaves of you, if someone exploits you, if someone takes advantage of you, if someone exalts himself, if someone strikes you on the face.
21 Med Skamfuldhed siger jeg det, efterdi vi have været svage; men hvad end nogen trodser på (jeg taler i Dårskab), derpå trodser også jeg.
I speak by way of disparagement, as though we had been weak. Yet however any is bold (I speak in foolishness), I am bold also.
22 Ere de Hebræere? Jeg også. Ere de Israeliter? Jeg også. Ere de Abrahams Sæd? Jeg også.
Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they descendants of Abraham? So am I.
23 Ere de Kristi Tjenere? Jeg taler i Vanvid: jeg er det mere. Jeg har lidt langt flere Besværligheder, fået langt flere Slag, været hyppigt i Fængsel, ofte i Dødsfare.
Are they servants of Messiah? (I speak as one beside himself) I am more so; in labors more abundantly, in prisons more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in deaths often.
24 Af Jøder har jeg fem Gange fået fyrretyve Slag mindre end eet.
Five times from the Jews I received forty stripes minus one.
25 Tre Gange er jeg bleven pisket, een Gang stenet, tre Gange har jeg lidt Skibbrud, et Døgn har jeg tilbragt på Dybet;
Three times I was beaten with rods. Once I was stoned. Three times I suffered shipwreck. I have been a night and a day in the deep.
26 ofte på Rejser, i Farer fra Floder, i Farer iblandt Røvere, i Farer fra mit Folk, i Farer fra Hedninger, i Farer i By, i Farer i Ørken, i Farer på Havet, i Farer iblandt falske Brødre;
I have been in travels often, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from my countrymen, perils from those who are not Jews, perils in the city, perils in the wilderness, perils in the sea, perils among false brothers;
27 i Møje og Anstrengelse, ofte i Nattevågen, i Hunger og Tørst, ofte i Faste, i Kulde og Nøgenhed;
in labor and travail, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, and in cold and nakedness.
28 foruden hvad der kommer til, mit daglige Overløb, Bekymringen for alle Menighederne.
Besides those things that are outside, there is that which presses on me daily, anxiety for all the congregations.
29 Hvem er skrøbelig, uden at også jeg er det? hvem bliver forarget, uden at det brænder i mig?
Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is caused to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
30 Dersom jeg skal rose mig, da vil jeg rose mig af min Magtesløshed.
If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.
The God and Father of the Lord Yeshua, he who is blessed forevermore, knows that I do not lie. (aiōn g165)
32 I Damaskus holdt Kong Aretas's Statholder Damaskenernes Stad bevogtet for at gribe mig;
In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to arrest me.
33 men jeg blev igennem en Luge firet ned over Muren i en Kurv og undflyede af hans Hænder.
Through a window I was let down in a basket by the wall, and escaped his hands.
