Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the Good News of God,
Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
2 which he promised before through his prophets in the holy Scriptures,
hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
3 concerning his Son, who was born of the offspring of David according to the flesh,
om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
4 who was declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord,
kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Aand ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
5 through whom we received grace and apostleship for obedience of faith among all the nations for his name’s sake;
ved hvem vi have faaet Naade og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
6 among whom you are also called to belong to Jesus Christ;
iblandt hvilke ogsaa I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Til alle Guds elskede, som ere i Rom, kaldede hellige. Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is proclaimed throughout the whole world.
Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the Good News of his Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you always in my prayers,
Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Aand tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
10 requesting, if by any means now at last I may be prospered by the will of God to come to you.
idet jeg bestandig i mine Bønner beder om, at jeg dog endelig engang maatte faa Lykke til ved Guds Villie at komme til eder.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, to the end that you may be established;
Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen aandelig Naadegave, for at I maatte styrkes,
12 that is, that I with you may be encouraged in you, each of us by the other’s faith, both yours and mine.
det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, baade eders og min.
13 Now I do not desire to have you unaware, brothers, that I often planned to come to you (and was hindered so far), that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.
Og jeg vil ikke, Brødre! at I skulle være uvidende om, at jeg ofte har sat mig for at komme til eder (men hidindtil er jeg bleven forhindret), for at jeg maatte faa nogen Frugt ogsaa iblandt eder, ligesom iblandt de øvrige Hedninger.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to the wise and to the foolish.
Baade til Grækere og Barbarer, baade til vise og uforstandige staar jeg i Gæld.
15 So as much as is in me, I am eager to preach the Good News to you also who are in Rome.
Saaledes er jeg, hvad mig angaar, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet ogsaa for eder, som ere i Rom.
16 For I am not ashamed of the Good News of Christ, because it is the power of God for salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek.
Thi jeg skammer mig ikke ved Evangeliet; thi det er en Guds Kraft til Frelse for hver den, som tror, baade for Jøde først og for Græker.
17 For in it is revealed God’s righteousness from faith to faith. As it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Thi deri aabenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: „Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.‟
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
Thi Guds Vrede aabenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
19 because that which is known of God is revealed in them, for God revealed it to them.
thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er aabenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo aabenbaret dem det.
20 For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting (aïdios g126) power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.
Thi hans usynlige Væsen, baade hans evige Kraft og Guddommelighed, skues fra Verdens Skabelse af, idet det forstaas af hans Gerninger, saa at de have ingen Undskyldning. (aïdios g126)
21 Because knowing God, they did not glorify him as God, and did not give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened.
Thi skønt de kendte Gud, saa ærede eller takkede de ham dog ikke som Gud, men bleve taabelige i deres Tanker, og deres uforstandige Hjerte blev formørket.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Idet de paastode at være vise, bleve de Daarer
23 and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, four-footed animals, and creeping things.
og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende Dyr.
24 Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
25 who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for the ages (aiōn g165). Amen.
de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi baade deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural function of the woman, burned in their lust toward one another, men doing what is inappropriate with men, and receiving in themselves the due penalty of their error.
og ligesaa forlode ogsaa Mændene den naturlige Omgang med Kvinden og optændtes i deres Brynde efter hverandre, saa at Mænd øvede Uterlighed med Mænd og fik deres Vildfarelses Løn, som det burde sig, paa sig selv.
28 Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
Og ligesom de forkastede at have Gud i Erkendelse, saaledes gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,
opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Øretudere, Bagvadskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige, Pralere, opfindsomme paa ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
31 without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;
uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.
— hvilke jo, skønt de erkende Guds retfærdige Dom, at de, der øve saadanne Ting, fortjene Døden, dog ikke alene gøre det, men ogsaa give dem, som øve det, deres Bifald.
