Romerne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called as an Apostle, separated for the Gospel of God,
2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
which he had promised beforehand, through his Prophets, in the Holy Scriptures,
3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
about his Son, who was made for him from the offspring of David according to the flesh,
4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Ånd ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
the Son of God, who was predestined in virtue according to the Spirit of sanctification from the resurrection of the dead, our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 ved hvem vi have fået Nåde og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
through whom we have received grace and Apostleship, for the sake of his name, for the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles,
6 iblandt hvilke også I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
from whom you also have been called by Jesus Christ:
7 Til alle Guds elskede, som ere i Rom, kaldede hellige. Nåde være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
To all who are at Rome, the beloved of God, called as saints. Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
Certainly, I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, first for all of you, because your faith is being announced throughout the entire world.
9 Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Ånd tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit by the Gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I have kept a remembrance of you
10 idet jeg bestandig i mine Bønner beder om, at jeg dog endelig engang måtte få Lykke til Ved Guds Villie at komme til eder.
always in my prayers, pleading that in some way, at some time, I may have a prosperous journey, within the will of God, to come to you.
11 Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen åndelig Nådegave, for at I måtte styrkes,
For I long to see you, so that I may impart to you a certain spiritual grace to strengthen you,
12 det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, både eders og min.
specifically, to be consoled together with you through that which is mutual: your faith and mine.
13 Og jeg vil ikke, Brødre! at I skulle være uvidende om, at jeg ofte har sat mig for at komme til eder (men hidindtil er jeg bleven forhindret), for at jeg måtte få nogen Frugt også iblandt eder, ligesom iblandt de øvrige Hedninger.
But I want you to know, brothers, that I have often intended to come to you, (though I have been hindered even to the present time) so that I might obtain some fruit among you also, just as also among the other Gentiles.
14 Både til Grækere og Barbarer, både til vise og uforstandige står jeg i Gæld.
To the Greeks and to the uncivilized, to the wise and to the foolish, I am in debt.
15 således er jeg, hvad mig angår, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet også for eder, som ere i Rom.
So within me there is a prompting to evangelize to you also who are at Rome.
16 Thi jeg skammer mig ikke ved Evangeliet; thi det er en Guds Kraft til Frelse for hver den, som tror, både for Jøde først og for Græker.
For I am not ashamed of the Gospel. For it is the power of God unto salvation for all believers, the Jew first, and the Greek.
17 Thi deri åbenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: "Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro."
For the justice of God is revealed within it, by faith unto faith, just as it was written: “For the just one lives by faith.”
18 Thi Guds Vrede åbenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven over every impiety and injustice among those men who fend off the truth of God with injustice.
19 thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er åbenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo åbenbaret dem det.
For what is known about God is manifest in them. For God has manifested it to them.
20 Thi hans usynlige Væsen, både hans evige Kraft og Guddommelighed, skues fra Verdens Skabelse af, idet det forstås af hans Gerninger, så at de have ingen Undskyldning. (aïdios g126)
For unseen things about him have been made conspicuous, since the creation of the world, being understood by the things that were made; likewise his everlasting virtue and divinity, so much so that they have no excuse. (aïdios g126)
21 Thi skønt de kendte Gud, så ærede eller takkede de ham dog ikke som Gud, men bleve tåbelige i deres Tanker, og deres uforstandige Hjerte blev formørket.
For although they had known God, they did not glorify God, nor give thanks. Instead, they became weakened in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was obscured.
22 Idet de påstode at være vise, bleve de Dårer
For, while proclaiming themselves to be wise, they became foolish.
23 og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende dyr.
And they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of flying things, and of four-legged beasts, and of serpents.
24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
For this reason, God handed them over to the desires of their own heart for impurity, so that they afflicted their own bodies with indignities among themselves.
25 de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And they exchanged the truth of God for a lie. And they worshipped and served the creature, rather than the Creator, who is blessed for all eternity. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi både deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
Because of this, God handed them over to shameful passions. For example, their females have exchanged the natural use of the body for a use which is against nature.
27 og ligeså forlode også Mændene den naturlige Omgang med Kvinden og optændtes ideres Brynde efter hverandre, så at Mænd øvede Uterlighed med Mænd og fik deres Vildfarelses Løn, som det burde sig, på sig selv.
And similarly, the males also, abandoning the natural use of females, have burned in their desires for one another: males doing with males what is disgraceful, and receiving within themselves the recompense that necessarily results from their error.
28 Og ligesom de forkastede af have Gud i Erkendelse, således gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
And since they did not prove to have God by knowledge, God handed them over to a morally depraved way of thinking, so that they might do those things which are not fitting:
29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
having been completely filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, spite, gossiping;
30 Øretudere, Bagvaskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige; Pralere, opfindsomme på ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
slanderous, hateful toward God, abusive, arrogant, self-exalting, devisers of evil, disobedient to parents,
31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
foolish, disorderly; without affection, without fidelity, without mercy.
32 - hvilke jo, skønt de erkende Guds retfærdige Dom, at de, der øve sådanne Ting, fortjene Døden, dog ikke alene gøre det, men også give dem, som øve det, deres Bifald.
And these, though they had known the justice of God, did not understand that those who act in such a manner are deserving of death, and not only those who do these things, but also those who consent to what is done.
