2 Corinthians 11
1 Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.
Gid I vilde finde eder i en Smule Dårskab af mig! Dog, I gør det Jo nok.
2 For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.
Thi jeg er nidkær for eder med Guds Nidkærhed; jeg har jo trolovet eder med een Mand for at fremstille en ren Jomfru for Kristus.
3 But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.
Men jeg frygter for, at ligesom Slangen bedrog Eva ved sin Træskhed, således skulle eders Tanker fordærves og miste det oprigtige Sindelag over for Kristus.
4 For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.
Thi dersom nogen kommer og prædiker en anden Jesus, som vi ikke prædikede, eller I få en anderledes Ånd, som I ikke fik, eller et anderledes Evangelium, som I ikke modtoge, da vilde I kønt finde eder deri.
5 For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.
Thi jeg mener ikke at stå tilbage i noget for de såre store Apostle.
6 But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.
Er jeg end ulærd i Tale, så er jeg det dog ikke i Kundskab; tværtimod på enhver Måde have vi lagt den for Dagen for eder i alle Stykker.
7 Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?
Eller gjorde jeg Synd i at fornedre mig selv, for at I skulde ophøjes, idet jeg forkyndte eder Guds Evangelium for intet?
8 I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;
Andre Menigheder plyndrede jeg, idet jeg tog Sold af dem for at tjene eder, og medens jeg var nærværende hos eder og kom i Trang, faldt jeg ingen til Byrde;
9 And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.
thi min Trang afhjalp Brødrene, da de kom fra Makedonien, og i alt har jeg holdt og vil jeg holde mig uden Tynge for eder.
10 As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.
Så vist som Kristi Sandhed er i mig, skal denne Ros ikke fratages mig i Akajas Egne.
11 Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.
Hvorfor? mon fordi jeg ikke elsker eder? Gud ved det.
12 But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.
Men hvad jeg gør, det vil jeg fremdeles gøre, for at jeg kan afskære dem Lejligheden, som søge en Lejlighed, til at findes os lige i det, hvoraf de rose sig.
13 For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.
Thi sådanne ere falske Apostle, svigefulde Arbejdere, som påtage sig Skikkelse af Kristi Apostle.
14 And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light.
Og det er intet Under; thi Satan selv påtager sig Skikkelse af en Lysets Engel.
15 So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works.
Derfor er det ikke noget stort, om også hans Tjenere påtage sig Skikkelse som Retfærdigheds Tjenere; men deres Ende skal være efter deres Gerninger.
16 I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.
Atter siger jeg: Ingen må agte mig for en Dåre; men hvis så skal være, så tåler mig endog som en Dåre, for at også jeg kan rose mig en Smule.
17 What I am now saying is not by the order of the Lord, but as a foolish person, taking credit to myself, as it seems.
Hvad jeg nu taler, taler jeg ikke efter Herrens Sind, men som i Dårskab, idet jeg så tillidsfuldt roser mig.
18 Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.
Efterdi mange rose sig med Hensyn til Kødet, vil også jeg rose mig.
19 For you put up with the foolish gladly, being wise yourselves.
Gerne finde I eder jo i Dårerne, efterdi I ere kloge.
20 You put up with a man if he makes servants of you, if he makes profit out of you, if he makes you prisoners, if he puts himself in a high place, if he gives you blows on the face.
I finde eder jo i, om nogen gør eder til Trælle, om nogen æder eder op, om nogen tager til sig, om nogen ophøjer sig, om nogen slår eder i Ansigtet.
21 I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.
Med Skamfuldhed siger jeg det, efterdi vi have været svage; men hvad end nogen trodser på (jeg taler i Dårskab), derpå trodser også jeg.
22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they of Israel? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
Ere de Hebræere? Jeg også. Ere de Israeliter? Jeg også. Ere de Abrahams Sæd? Jeg også.
23 Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.
Ere de Kristi Tjenere? Jeg taler i Vanvid: jeg er det mere. Jeg har lidt langt flere Besværligheder, fået langt flere Slag, været hyppigt i Fængsel, ofte i Dødsfare.
24 Five times the Jews gave me forty blows but one.
Af Jøder har jeg fem Gange fået fyrretyve Slag mindre end eet.
25 Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;
Tre Gange er jeg bleven pisket, een Gang stenet, tre Gange har jeg lidt Skibbrud, et Døgn har jeg tilbragt på Dybet;
26 In frequent travels, in dangers on rivers, in dangers from outlaws, in dangers from my countrymen, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the town, in dangers in the waste land, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers;
ofte på Rejser, i Farer fra Floder, i Farer iblandt Røvere, i Farer fra mit Folk, i Farer fra Hedninger, i Farer i By, i Farer i Ørken, i Farer på Havet, i Farer iblandt falske Brødre;
27 In hard work and weariness, in frequent watchings, going without food and drink, cold and in need of clothing.
i Møje og Anstrengelse, ofte i Nattevågen, i Hunger og Tørst, ofte i Faste, i Kulde og Nøgenhed;
28 In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.
foruden hvad der kommer til, mit daglige Overløb, Bekymringen for alle Menighederne.
29 Who is feeble and I am not feeble? who is in danger of falling, and I am not angry?
Hvem er skrøbelig, uden at også jeg er det? hvem bliver forarget, uden at det brænder i mig?
30 If I have to take credit to myself, I will do so in the things in which I am feeble.
Dersom jeg skal rose mig, da vil jeg rose mig af min Magtesløshed.
31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom be praise for ever, is witness that the things which I say are true. (aiōn g165)
Gud og den Herres Jesu Fader, som er højlovet i Evighed, ved, at jeg ikke lyver. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:
I Damaskus holdt Kong Aretas's Statholder Damaskenernes Stad bevogtet for at gribe mig;
33 And being let down in a basket from the wall through a window, I got free from his hands.
men jeg blev igennem en Luge firet ned over Muren i en Kurv og undflyede af hans Hænder.
