Romerne 10
1 Brødre! mit Hjertes Ønske og Bøn til Gud for dem er om deres Frelse.
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is for their salvation.
2 Thi jeg giver dem det Vidnesbyrd, at de have Nidkærhed for Gud, men ikke med Forstand;
For I testify about them that they are zealous for God, but not on the basis of knowledge.
3 thi da de ikke kendte Guds. Retfærdighed og tragtede efter at opstille deres egen Retfærdighed, så bøjede de sig ikke under Guds Retfærdighed.
Because they were ignorant of God’s righteousness and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.
4 Thi Kristus er Lovens Ende til Retfærdighed for hver den, som tror.
For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.
5 Moses skriver jo, at det Menneske, som gør den Retfærdighed, der er af Loven, skal leve ved den.
For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”
6 Men Retfærdigheden af Tro siger således: Sig ikke i dit Hjerte: Hvem vil fare op til Himmelen? nemlig for at hente Kristus ned;
But the righteousness that is by faith says: “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’ (that is, to bring Christ down)
or, ‘Who will descend into the Abyss?’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead).” (Abyssos g12)
8 Men hvad, siger den? Ordet er dig nær, i din Mund og i dit Hjerte, det er det Troens Ord, som vi prædike.
But what does it say? “The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,” that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
9 Thi dersom du med din Mund bekender Jesus som Herre og tror i dit Hjerte, at Gud oprejste ham fra de døde, da skal du blive frelst.
that if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
10 Thi med Hjertet tror man til Retfærdighed, og med Munden bekender man til Frelse.
For with your heart you believe and are justified, and with your mouth you confess and are saved.
11 Skriften siger jo: "Hver den, som tror på ham, skal ikke blive til Skamme."
It is just as the Scripture says: “Anyone who believes in Him will never be put to shame.”
12 Thi der er ikke Forskel på Jøde og Græker; thi den samme er alles Herre, rig nok for alle dem, som påkalde ham.
For there is no difference between Jew and Greek: The same Lord is Lord of all, and gives richly to all who call on Him,
13 Thi hver den, som påkalder Herrens Navn, skal blive frelst.
for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
14 Hvorledes skulde de nu påkalde den, på hvem de ikke have troet? og hvorledes skulde de tro den, som de ikke have hørt? og hvorledes skulde de høre, uden der er nogen, som prædiker?
How then can they call on the One in whom they have not believed? And how can they believe in the One of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone to preach?
15 og hvorledes skulde de prædike, dersom de ikke bleve udsendte? Som der er skrevet: "Hvor dejlige. ere deres Fødder, som forkynde godt Budskab."
And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”
16 Dog ikke alle løde Evangeliet; thi Esajas siger: "Herre! hvem troede det, (han hørte af os?")
But not all of them welcomed the good news. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our message?”
17 Altså kommer Troen af det. som høres, men det, som høres, kommer igennem Kristi Ord.
Consequently, faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.
18 Men jeg siger: Have de ikke hørt? Jo vist, "over hele Jorden er deres Røst udgået og til Jorderiges Grænser deres Ord."
But I ask, did they not hear? Indeed they did: “Their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
19 Men jeg siger: Har Israel ikke forstået det? Først siger Moses: "Jeg vil gøre eder nidkære på et Folk, som ikke er et Folk, imod et uforstandigt Folk vil jeg opirre eder."
I ask instead, did Israel not understand? First, Moses says: “I will make you jealous by those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation without understanding.”
20 Men Esajas drister sig til at sige: "Jeg blev funden af dem, som ikke søgte mig; jeg blev åbenbar for dem. som ikke spurgte efter mig."
And Isaiah boldly says: “I was found by those who did not seek Me; I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me.”
21 Men om Israel siger han: "Den hele Dag udstrakte jeg mine Hænder imod et ulydigt og genstridigt Folk."
But as for Israel he says: “All day long I have held out My hands to a disobedient and obstinate people.”
