Romerne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
PAUL, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, set apart for the Gospel of God,
2 hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
(which he had promised before by his prophets in the holy scriptures, )
3 om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; made from the seed of David after the flesh,
4 kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Ånd ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
definitively marked out as the Son of God by miracle, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead:
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 apostolic mission among all nations for his name, to bring them to the obedience of faith:
6 iblandt hvilke også I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
among whom are ye also the called of 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 that are at Rome, beloved of God, called saints, grace unto you, and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
First then I give thanks to my God, through Jesus Christ, for you all, because your faith is proclaimed through the whole 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 with my spirit in the Gospel of his Son, how incessantly I make mention 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 entreating that haply now at last I may have a prosperous journey by 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, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, in order that you may be established;
12 det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, både eders og min.
and that so I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith both of you and of me.
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 would not that ye should be unacquainted, brethren, that oftentimes I have been purposing to come to you (and have been prevented until now), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the other Gentile nations.
14 Både til Grækere og Barbarer, både til vise og uforstandige står jeg i Gæld.
Both to the Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the ignorant am I a debtor.
15 således er jeg, hvad mig angår, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet også for eder, som ere i Rom.
So, as far as is in my power, I am desirous to preach the Gospel to you that are at Rome also.
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 of Christ: for it is the power of God for salvation to every one who believeth; to the Jew first, and also to 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 righteousness of God by faith is therein revealed for belief; as it is written, “Now the just by faith shall live.”
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 against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding back the truth in unrighteousness.
19 thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er åbenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo åbenbaret dem det.
Because that which is capable of being known relative to God, is evident among them; for God hath 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 from the creation of the world his invisible perfections, discoverable in the works that are made, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and deity; so that they are inexcusable: (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.
because though they knew there was a God, they glorified him not as God, nor gave him thanks, but became triflers in their disputations, and their stupid heart was darkened.
22 Idet de påstode at være vise, bleve de Dårer
Affecting to be sophists, they turned idiots,
23 og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende dyr.
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
24 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
Wherefore God abandoned them, through the lusts of their own hearts, unto impurity, to dishonour their own bodies by themselves:
25 de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
who perverted the truth of God by falsehood, and worshipped and paid divine honours to the thing created instead of the Creator, who is blessed for evermore. Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi både deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
For this cause God gave them up to dishonourable passions. For even their women did change the natural use into that which was contrary to 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 likewise the men also, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lewdness one towards another; men with men committing indecency, and receiving in themselves the recompence of their delusion, which was meet.
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 thought not fit to hold the Deity in acknowledgment, God abandoned them to a reprobate mind, to practise deeds unbecoming;
29 opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
replete with all injustice, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, villany; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, evil habits; whisperers,
30 Øretudere, Bagvaskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige; Pralere, opfindsomme på ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
backbiters, God-haters, contumelious, insolent, boasters, inventors of wicked practices, disobedient to parents,
31 uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
unintelligent, unfaithful to engagements, unnatural, implacable, unmerciful:
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.
who, though they know the righteous judgment of God, that they who live in such practices are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also find pleasure in the company of those who live in these practices.
