Romerne 10
1 Brødre! mit Hjertes Ønske og Bøn til Gud for dem er om deres Frelse.
Brothers, certainly the will of my heart, and my prayer to God, is for them unto salvation.
2 Thi jeg giver dem det Vidnesbyrd, at de have Nidkærhed for Gud, men ikke med Forstand;
For I offer testimony to them, that they have a zeal for God, but not according to 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.
For, being ignorant of the justice of God, and seeking to establish their own justice, they have not subjected themselves to the justice of God.
4 Thi Kristus er Lovens Ende til Retfærdighed for hver den, som tror.
For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.
5 Moses skriver jo, at det Menneske, som gør den Retfærdighed, der er af Loven, skal leve ved den.
And Moses wrote, about the justice that is of the law, that the man who will have done justice shall live by justice.
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 justice that is of faith speaks in this way: Do not say in your heart: “Who shall ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ down);
“Or who shall descend into the abyss?” (that is, to call back Christ 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 Scripture say? “The word is near, in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the word of faith, which we are preaching.
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.
For if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and if you believe in your heart that God has raised him up from the dead, you shall be saved.
10 Thi med Hjertet tror man til Retfærdighed, og med Munden bekender man til Frelse.
For with the heart, we believe unto justice; but with the mouth, confession is unto salvation.
11 Skriften siger jo: "Hver den, som tror på ham, skal ikke blive til Skamme."
For Scripture says: “All those who believe in him shall not be confounded.”
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 distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is over all, richly in all who call upon him.
13 Thi hver den, som påkalder Herrens Navn, skal blive frelst.
For all those who have called upon the name of the Lord shall 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?
Then in what way will those who have not believed in him call upon him? Or in what way will those who have not heard of him believe in him? And in what way will they hear of him without preaching?
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 truly, in what way will they preach, unless they have been sent, just as it has been written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who evangelize peace, of those who evangelize what is good!”
16 Dog ikke alle løde Evangeliet; thi Esajas siger: "Herre! hvem troede det, (han hørte af os?")
But not all are obedient to the Gospel. For Isaiah says: “Lord, who has believed our report?”
17 Altså kommer Troen af det. som høres, men det, som høres, kommer igennem Kristi Ord.
Therefore, faith is from hearing, and hearing is through 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 say: Have they not heard? For certainly: “Their sound has gone forth throughout all the earth, and their words unto the limits of the whole 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."
But I say: Has Israel not known? First, Moses says: “I will lead you into a rivalry with those who are not a nation; in the midst of a foolish nation, I will send you into wrath.”
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 dares to say: “I was discovered by those who were not seeking me. I appeared openly to those who were not asking about me.”
21 Men om Israel siger han: "Den hele Dag udstrakte jeg mine Hænder imod et ulydigt og genstridigt Folk."
Then to Israel he says: “All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who do not believe and who contradict me.”
