Romans 15
1 Now we the strong ought to bear the weaknesses of the frail, and not to please ourselves.
Men vi, som ere stærke, bør bære de svages Skrøbeligheder og ikke være os selv til Behag.
2 Let each of us please his neighbor for what is good toward edification.
Enhver af os være sin Næste til Behag til det gode, til Opbyggelse.
3 For Christ also did not please himself, but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached thee fell upon me.
Thi ogsaa Kristus var ikke sig selv til Behag; men, som der er skrevet: „Deres Forhaanelser, som haane dig, ere faldne paa mig.‟
4 For as many things as were written previously were written for our learning, so that through perseverance and through the encouragement of the scriptures we might have hope.
Thi alt, hvad der er skrevet tilforn, det er skrevet til vor Belæring, for at vi skulle have Haabet ved Udholdenheden og Skrifternes Trøst.
5 Now may the God of perseverance and of encouragement grant you to think the same way among each other, in accord with Christ Jesus,
Men Udholdenhedens og Trøstens Gud give eder at være enige indbyrdes, som Kristus Jesus vil det,
6 so that unanimously, with one mouth, ye may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
for at I endrægtigt med een Mund kunne prise Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader.
7 Therefore receive ye each other, just as Christ also received you for the glory of God.
Derfor tager eder af hverandre, ligesom ogsaa Kristus har taget sig af os, til Guds Ære.
8 And I say, Christ Jesus became a helper of men of circumcision, for the sake of God's truth (in order to confirm the promises of the fathers),
Jeg siger nemlig, at Kristus er bleven Tjener for omskaarne for Guds Sanddruheds Skyld for at stadfæste Forjættelserne til Fædrene;
9 and the Gentiles, for the sake of mercy, to glorify God, as it is written, Because of this I will give thanks to thee among Gentiles, and will sing to thy name.
men at Hedningerne skulle prise Gud for hans Barmhjertigheds Skyld, som der er skrevet: „Derfor vil jeg bekende dig iblandt Hedninger og lovsynge dit Navn.‟
10 And again he says, Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.
Og atter siges der: „Fryder eder, I Hedninger, med hans Folk!‟
11 And again, Praise ye the Lord all nations, and let all the peoples praise him.
Og atter: „Lover Herren, alle Hedninger, og alle Folkene skulle prise ham.‟
12 And again, Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who arises to reign over Gentiles. In him Gentiles will hope.
Og atter siger Esajas: „Komme skal Isajs Rodskud og han, der rejser sig for at herske over Hedninger; paa ham skulle Hedninger haabe.‟
13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, for ye to abound in hope in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Men Haabets Gud fylde eder med al Glæde og Fred, idet I tro, for at I maa blive rige i Haabet ved den Helligaands Kraft! —
14 And I also myself am persuaded about you, my brothers, that ye yourselves are also full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish others.
Men ogsaa jeg, mine Brødre! har selv den Forvisning om eder, at I ogsaa selv ere fulde af Godhed, fyldte med al Kundskab, i Stand til ogsaa at paaminde hverandre.
15 But I wrote more boldly to you, brothers, in part, as reminding you because of the grace that was given to me by God,
Dog har jeg for en Del tilskrevet eder noget dristigere for at paaminde eder paa Grund af den Naade, som er given mig fra Gud
16 for me to be a minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, serving the good news of God like a priest, so that the offering up of the Gentiles might become acceptable, being sanctified in the Holy Spirit.
til iblandt Hedningerne at være en Kristi Jesu Offertjener, der som Præst betjener Guds Evangelium, for at Hedningerne maa blive et velbehageligt Offer, helliget ved den Helligaand.
17 I have therefore a boast in Christ Jesus in things toward God.
Saaledes har jeg min Ros i Kristus Jesus af min Tjeneste for Gud.
18 For I will not dare to speak anything of which Christ did not accomplish through me for the obedience of Gentiles, by word and work,
Thi jeg vil ikke driste mig til at tale om noget af det, som Kristus ikke har udført ved mig til at virke Hedningers Lydighed, ved Ord og Handling,
19 in the power of signs and wonders, in the power of a Spirit of God, so that for me, from Jerusalem and all around as far as Illyricum, to fully preach the good news of Christ.
ved Tegns og Undergerningers Kraft, ved Guds Aands Kraft, saa at jeg fra Jerusalem og trindt omkring indtil Illyrien har til fulde forkyndt Kristi Evangelium;
20 And thus having aspired to proclaim the good news not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build upon a foundation belonging to another man,
dog saaledes, at jeg sætter min Ære i at forkynde Evangeliet ikke der, hvor Kristus er nævnet, for at jeg ikke skal bygge paa en andens Grundvold,
21 but, as it is written, They will see to whom it was not reported about him, and they will understand who have not heard.
men, som der er skrevet: „De, for hvem der ikke blev kundgjort om ham, skulle se, og de, som ikke have hørt, skulle forstaa.‟
22 Therefore also, I was delayed these many times coming to you.
Derfor er jeg ogsaa de mange Gange bleven forhindret i at komme til eder.
23 But now, having no more place in these regions, and having a great desire from many years to come to you,
Men nu, da jeg ikke mere har Rum i disse Egne og i mange Aar har haft Længsel efter at komme til eder,
24 whenever I go to Spain I will come to you. For I hope to see you while passing through, and there to be helped on the way by you, if first I may be partly satisfied from you.
vil jeg, naar jeg rejser til Spanien, komme til eder; thi jeg haaber at se eder paa Gennemrejsen og af eder at blive befordret derhen, naar jeg først i nogen Maade er bleven tilfredsstillet hos eder.
25 But now I am going to Jerusalem serving the sanctified.
Men nu rejser jeg til Jerusalem i Tjeneste for de hellige.
26 For Macedonia and Achaia were pleased to make a certain participation for the poor of the sanctified at Jerusalem.
Thi Makedonien og Akaja have fundet Glæde i at gøre et Sammenskud til de fattige iblandt de hellige i Jerusalem.
27 For they were pleased. And they are debtors of them, for if the Gentiles were partakers in their spiritual things, they are obligated also to serve them in the carnal things.
De have nemlig fundet Glæde deri, og de ere deres Skyldnere. Thi ere Hedningerne blevne delagtige i hines aandelige Goder, da ere de ogsaa skyldige at tjene dem med de timelige.
28 Having therefore completed this, and having sealed this fruit for them, I will depart by you to Spain.
Naar jeg da har fuldbragt dette og beseglet denne Frugt for dem, vil jeg derfra drage om ad eder til Spanien.
29 And I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of the good news of the Christ.
Men jeg ved, at naar jeg kommer til eder, skal jeg komme med Kristi Velsignelses Fylde.
30 Now I beseech you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive with me in prayers to God for me.
Men jeg formaner eder, Brødre! ved vor Herre Jesus Kristus og ved Aandens Kærlighed til med mig at stride i eders Bønner for mig til Gud,
31 So that I may be rescued from those who are disobedient in Judea, and that my service for Jerusalem may become acceptable to the sanctified,
for at jeg maa udfries fra de genstridige i Judæa, og mit Ærinde til Jerusalem maa blive de hellige kærkomment,
32 so that I may come to you in joy through the will of God, and be rested with you.
for at jeg kan komme til eder med Glæde, ved Guds Villie, og vederkvæges med eder.
33 And the God of peace is with you all. Truly.
Men Fredens Gud være med eder alle! Amen.
