Galaterne 1
1 Paulus, Apostel, ikke af Mennesker, ikke heller ved noget Menneske, men ved Jesus Kristus og Gud Fader, som oprejste ham fra de døde,
Paul, an apostle (not from men, neither through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead),
2 og alle Brødrene, som ere med mig, til Menighederne i Galatien:
and all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:
3 Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud Fader og vor Herre Jesus Kristus,
Grace to you and peace from God the Father, and our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 som gav sig selv for vore Synder, for at han kunde udfri os af den nærværende onde Verden, efter vor Guds og Faders Villie, (aiōn g165)
who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us out of this present evil world, according to the will of our God and Father: (aiōn g165)
to whom [be] the glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
6 Jeg undrer mig over, at I så snart lade eder føre bort fra ham, som kaldte eder til Kristi Nåde, hen til et anderledes Evangelium;
I marvel that ye are so quickly removing from him that called you in the grace of Christ unto a different gospel;
7 hvilket dog ikke er et andet, men det er kun nogle, som forvirre eder. og ville vende op og ned på Kristi Evangelium.
which is not another [gospel]: only there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 Men selv om vi eller en Engel fra Himmelen forkynder eder Evangeliet anderledes; end vi have forkyndt eder det, han være en Forbandelse!
But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema.
9 Som vi før have sagt, så siger jeg nu igen: Dersom nogen forkynder eder Evangeliet anderledes, end I have modtaget det, han være en Forbandelse!
As we have said before, so say I now again, If any man preacheth unto you any gospel other than that which ye received, let him be anathema.
10 Taler jeg da nu Mennesker til Villie, eller Gud? eller søger jeg at behage Mennesker? Dersom jeg endnu vilde behage Mennesker, da var jeg ikke en Kristi Tjener.
For am I now persuading men, or God? or am I seeking to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
11 Men jeg kundgør eder, Brødre! at det Evangelium, som er forkyndt af mig, er ikke Menneskeværk;
For I make known to you, brethren, as touching the gospel which was preached by me, that it is not after man.
12 thi heller ikke jeg har modtaget det eller er bleven undervist derom af noget Menneske, men ved Åbenbarelse at Jesus Kristus.
For neither did I receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but [it came to me] through revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 I have jo hørt om min Vandel forhen i Jødedommen, at jeg over al Måde forfulgte Guds Menighed og søgte at udrydde den.
For ye have heard of my manner of life in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and made havock of it:
14 Og jeg gik videre i Jødedommen end mange jævnaldrende i mit Folk, idet jeg var langt mere nidkær for mine fædrene Overleveringer.
and I advanced in the Jews’ religion beyond many of mine own age among my countrymen, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers.
15 Men da det behagede Gud, som fra min Moders Liv havde udtaget mig og havde kaldet mig ved sin Nåde,
But when it was the good pleasure of God, who separated me, [even] from my mother’s womb, and called me through his grace,
16 at åbenbare sin Søn i mig, for at jeg skulde forkynde Evangeliet om ham iblandt Hedningerne: da spurgte jeg straks ikke Kød og Blod til Råds,
to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
17 drog heller ikke op til Jerusalem, til dem, som før mig vare Apostle, men jeg drog bort til Arabien og vendte atter tilbage til Damaskus.
neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus.
18 Senere, tre År efter, drog jeg op til Jerusalem for at blive kendt med Kefas og blev hos ham i femten Dage.
Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas, and tarried with him fifteen days.
19 Men nogen anden af Apostlene så jeg ikke, men kun Jakob, Herrens Broder.
But other of the apostles saw I none, save James the Lord’s brother.
20 Men hvad jeg skriver til eder - se, for Guds Åsyn vidner jeg, at jeg ikke lyver.
Now touching the things which I write unto you, behold, before God, I lie not.
21 Derefter kom jeg til Syriens og Kilikiens Egne.
Then I came into the regions of Syria and Cilicia.
22 Men personlig var jeg ukendt for Judæas Menigheder i Kristus;
And I was still unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ:
23 de hørte kun sige: Han, som forhen forfulgte os, forkynder nu Evangeliet om den Tro, som han forhen vilde udrydde;
but they only heard say, He that once persecuted us now preacheth the faith of which he once made havock;
24 og de priste Gud for mig.
and they glorified God in me.
