Galatians 3
1 O foolish Galatians, who bewitched you not to obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was earlier described among you, crucified?
O, I uforstandige Galatere! hvem har fortryllet eder, I, hvem Jesus Kristus blev malet for Øje som korsfæstet?
2 I only want to learn this from you. Did ye receive the Spirit from works of law, or from a listening ear of faith?
Kun dette vil jeg vide af eder: Var det ved Lovens Gerninger, I modtoge Aanden, eller ved i Tro at høre?
3 Are ye so foolish, having begun in Spirit, are ye now made perfect by flesh?
Ere I saa uforstandige? ville I, som begyndte i Aand, nu ende i Kød?
4 Did ye suffer so many things in vain? If it is indeed in vain.
Have I da prøvet saa meget forgæves? hvis det da virkelig er forgæves!
5 He therefore who supplies the Spirit to you and who works miracles among you, is it from works of law or from a listening ear of faith?
Mon da han, som meddeler eder Aanden og virker kraftige Gerninger iblandt eder, gør dette ved Lovens Gerninger eller ved, at I høre i Tro?
6 Just as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him for righteousness.
ligesom jo „Abraham troede Gud, og det blev regnet ham til Retfærdighed‟.
7 Ye know therefore that those from faith, these are sons of Abraham.
Erkender altsaa, at de, som ere af Tro, disse ere Abrahams Børn.
8 And the scripture having foreseen that God makes the Gentiles righteous from faith, proclaimed the good news in advance to Abraham: In thee all the nations will be blessed.
Men da Skriften forudsaa, at det er af Tro, at Gud retfærdiggør Hedningerne, forkyndte den forud Abraham det Evangelium: „I dig skulle alle Folkeslagene velsignes‟,
9 So then those from faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.
saa at de, som ere af Tro, velsignes sammen med den troende Abraham.
10 For as many as are from works of law are under a curse, for it is written, Cursed is every man who does not continue in all things written in the book of the law, to do them.
Thi saa mange, som holde sig til Lovens Gerninger, ere under Forbandelse; thi der er skrevet: „Forbandet hver den, som ikke bliver i alle de Ting, som ere skrevne i Lovens Bog, saa han gør dem.‟
11 But that no man is made righteous by law before God, is evident, because, The righteous man will live from faith.
Men at ingen bliver retfærdiggjort for Gud ved Lov, er aabenbart, thi „den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.‟
12 And the law is not from faith, but the man who does them will live in them.
Men Loven beror ikke paa Tro; men: „Den, som gør disse Ting, skal leve ved dem.‟
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, Cursed is every man who hangs on a tree.
Kristus har løskøbt os fra Lovens Forbandelse, idet han blev en Forbandelse for os (thi der er skrevet: „Forbandet er hver den, som hænger paa et Træ‟),
14 So that the blessing of Abraham might occur for the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.
for at Abrahams Velsignelse maatte komme til Hedningerne i Kristus Jesus, for at vi kunde faa Aandens Forjættelse ved Troen.
15 Brothers (I speak according to a man), in the same way of a man, no man annuls or adds to a contract that has been ratified.
Brødre! jeg taler paa Menneskevis: Ingen ophæver dog et Menneskes stadfæstede Arvepagt eller føjer noget dertil.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, And to the seeds, as of many, but as of one, And to thy seed, who is Christ.
Men Abraham og hans Sæd bleve Forjættelserne tilsagte; der siges ikke: „Og Sædene‟, som om mange, men som om een: „Og din Sæd‟, hvilken er Kristus.
17 And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.
Jeg mener dermed dette: En Pagt, som forud er stadfæstet af Gud, kan Loven, som blev til fire Hundrede og tredive Aar senere, ikke gøre ugyldig, saa at den skulde gøre Forjættelsen til intet.
18 For if the inheritance is from law, it is no longer from promise. But God has given it to Abraham through promise.
Thi faas Arven ved Lov, da faas den ikke mere ved Forjættelse; men til Abraham har Gud skænket den ved Forjættelse.
19 Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed would come to whom it was promised, which was arranged through agents in the hand of a mediator.
Hvad skulde da Loven? Den blev føjet til for Overtrædelsernes Skyld (indtil den Sæd kom, hvem Forjættelsen gjaldt), besørget ved Engle, ved en Mellemmands Haand.
20 Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one.
Men en Mellemmand er ikke kun for een Part; Gud derimod er een.
21 Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law.
Er da Loven imod Guds Forjættelser? Det være langtfra! Ja, hvis der var givet en Lov, som kunde levendegøre, da var Retfærdigheden virkelig af Lov.
22 But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
Men Skriften har indesluttet alt under Synd, for at Forjættelsen skulde af Tro paa Jesus Kristus gives dem, som tro.
23 But before faith came we were kept in custody under law, having been confined for faith that was going to be revealed.
Men førend Troen kom, holdtes vi indelukkede under Lovens Bevogtning til den Tro, som skulde aabenbares,
24 So that the law became our schoolmaster for Christ, so that we might be made righteous from faith.
saa at Loven er bleven os en Tugtemester til Kristus, for at vi skulde blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro.
25 But faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Men efter at Troen er kommen, ere vi ikke mere under Tugtemester.
26 For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
Thi alle ere I Guds Børn ved Troen paa Kristus Jesus.
27 For as many as were immersed into Christ have put on Christ.
Thi I, saa mange som bleve døbte til Kristus, have iført eder Kristus.
28 There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no bondman nor freeman, there is no male and female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Her er ikke Jøde eller Græker; her er ikke Træl eller fri; her er ikke Mand og Kvinde; thi alle ere I een i Kristus Jesus.
29 And if ye are Christ's, then ye are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.
Men naar I høre Kristus til, da ere I jo Abrahams Sæd, Arvinger ifølge Forjættelse.
