Galatians 2
1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, having taken along Titus also.
Senere, efter fjorten Aars Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Barnabas og tog ogsaa Titus med.
2 And I went up according to revelation, and I declared to them the good news that I preach among the Gentiles, but privately to those who were of repute, lest somehow I might be running or ran in vain.
Men jeg drog op ifølge en Aabenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, — om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
3 But not even Titus with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.
Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
4 But that issue was because of those false brothers smuggled in, who sneaked in to spy out our liberty that we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might enslave us,
nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure paa vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
5 to whom we yielded in subjection not even for an hour, so that the truth of the good news might continue with you.
For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed maatte blive varig hos eder.
6 But from those who were reputed to be something (what kind they were formerly, it makes no difference to me, God does not accept a personage of man), for those who were of repute added nothing to me,
Men fra deres Side, som ansaas for at være noget, (hvordanne de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke paa et Menneskes Person; ) — over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
7 but to the contrary, when they saw that I was entrusted with the good news for men of uncircumcision, as Peter for men of circumcision
Men tværtimod, da de saa, at jeg har faaet Evangeliet til de uomskaarne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskaarne,
8 (for he who was working in Peter for the apostleship for men of circumcision was also working in me for the Gentiles),
(thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskaarne, gav ogsaa mig Kraft dertil for Hedningerne; )
9 and James and Cephas and John, those who were reputed to be pillars, when they understood the grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship. So that we were for the Gentiles, and they for men of circumcision,
og da de lærte den mig givne Naade at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansaas for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshaand for at vi skulde gaa til Hedningerne og de til de omskaarne;
10 only that we should remember the poor, which this same thing I also was eager to do.
kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg ogsaa just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
11 But when Peter came to Antioch I opposed him to the face, because he was blameworthy.
Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, traadte jeg op imod ham for hans aabne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
12 For before certain men came from James he ate together with the Gentiles, but when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing men of circumcision.
Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
13 And the other Jews also joined in hypocrisy with him, so that even Barnabas went along with their hypocrisy.
Og med ham hyklede ogsaa de øvrige Jøder, saa at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
14 But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly toward the truth of the good news, I said to Peter before all, If thou being a Jew, live as a Gentile and not as a Jew, why do thou compel the Gentiles to live as Jews?
Men da jeg saa, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Paahør: Naar du, som er en Jøde, lever paa hedensk og ikke paa jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
15 We are Jews by nature and not sinful men of the Gentiles,
Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
16 knowing that a man is not made righteous from works of law, instead through faith of Jesus Christ. And we believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made righteous from faith of Christ, and not from works of law, because no flesh will be made righteous from works of law.
men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro paa Jesus Kristus, saa have ogsaa vi troet paa Kristus Jesus, for at vi maatte blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro paa Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Gerninger skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
17 But if, while seeking to be made righteous in Christ, we ourselves were also found sinful, then is Christ an aide of sin? May it not happen!
Men naar vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, ogsaa selv fandtes at være Syndere, saa er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
18 For if I build again these things that I tore down, I demonstrate myself a transgressor.
naar jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
19 For I, through law, died to law, so that I might live to God.
Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And what I now live in flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.
Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen paa Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
21 I do not disregard the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.
Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Naade; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
