1 Corinthians 7
1 Nowe concerning the thinges whereof ye wrote vnto mee, It were good for a man not to touche a woman.
Men hvad det angaar, hvorom I skreve til mig, da er det godt for en Mand ikke at røre en Kvinde;
2 Neuertheles, to auoide fornication, let euery man haue his wife, and let euery woman haue her owne husband.
men for Utugts Skyld have hver Mand sin egen Hustru, og hver Kvinde have sin egen Mand.
3 Let the husband giue vnto the wife due beneuolence, and likewise also the wife vnto the husband.
Manden yde Hustruen sin Skyldighed; ligeledes ogsaa Hustruen Manden.
4 The wife hath not the power of her owne bodie, but ye husband: and likewise also the husband hath not ye power of his own body, but the wife.
Hustruen raader ikke over sit eget Legeme, men Manden; ligesaa raader heller ikke Manden over sit eget Legeme, men Hustruen.
5 Defraude not one another, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may giue your selues to fasting and praier, and againe come together that Satan tempt you not for your incontinecie.
Unddrager eder ikke hinanden, uden maaske med fælles Samtykke, til en Tid, for at I kunne have Ro til Bønnen, og for saa atter at være sammen, for at Satan ikke skal friste eder, fordi I ikke formaa at være afholdende.
6 But I speake this by permission, not by commandement.
Men dette siger jeg som en Indrømmelse, ikke som en Befaling.
7 For I woulde that all men were euen as I my selfe am: but euery man hath his proper gift of God, one after this maner, and another after that.
Jeg ønsker dog, at alle Mennesker maatte være, som jeg selv er; men hver har sin egen Naadegave fra Gud, den ene saa, den anden saa.
8 Therefore I say vnto the vnmaried, and vnto the widowes, It is good for them if they abide euen as I doe.
Til de ugifte og til Enkerne siger jeg, at det er godt for dem, om de forblive som jeg.
9 But if they cannot abstaine, let them marrie: for it is better to marrie then to burne.
Men kunne de ikke være afholdende, da lad dem gifte sig; thi det er bedre at gifte sig end at lide Brynde.
10 And vnto ye maried I comand, not I, but ye Lord, Let not ye wife depart from her husband.
Men de gifte byder ikke jeg, men Herren, at en Hustru ikke skal skille sig fra sin Mand; (
11 But and if shee depart, let her remaine vnmaried, or be reconciled vnto her husband, and let not the husband put away his wife.
men om hun virkeligt skiller sig fra ham, da forblive hun ugift eller forlige sig med Manden; ) og at en Mand ikke skal forlade sin Hustru.
12 But to ye remnant I speake, and not ye Lord, If any brother haue a wife, ye beleeueth not, if she be content to dwell with him, let him not forsake her.
Men til de andre siger jeg, ikke Herren: Dersom nogen Broder har en vantro Hustru, og denne samtykker i at bo hos ham, saa forlade han hende ikke!
13 And the woman which hath an husband that beleeueth not, if he be content to dwell with her, let her not forsake him.
Og dersom en Hustru har en vantro Mand, og denne samtykker i at bo hos hende, saa forlade hun ikke Manden!
14 For the vnbeleeuing husband is sanctified to the wife, and the vnbeleeuing wife is sanctified to the husband, els were your children vncleane: but nowe are they holie.
Thi den vantro Mand er helliget ved Hustruen, og den vantro Hustru er helliget ved Manden; ellers vare jo eders Børn urene, men nu ere de hellige.
15 But if the vnbeleeuing depart, let him depart: a brother or a sister is not in subiection in such things: but God hath called vs in peace.
Men skiller den vantro sig, saa lad ham skille sig; ingen Broder eller Søster er trælbunden i saadanne Tilfælde; men Gud har kaldet os til Fred.
16 For what knowest thou, O wife, whether thou shalt saue thine husband? Or what knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt saue thy wife?
Thi hvad ved du, Hustru! om du kan frelse din Mand? eller hvad ved du, Mand! om du kan frelse din Hustru?
17 But as God hath distributed to euery man, as the Lord hath called euery one, so let him walke: and so ordaine I, in all Churches.
Kun vandre enhver saaledes, som Herren har tildelt ham, som Gud har kaldet ham; og saaledes forordner jeg i alle Menighederne.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not gather his vncircumcision: is any called vncircumcised? let him not be circumcised.
Blev nogen kaldet som omskaaren, han lade ikke Forhud drage over; er nogen kaldet som uomskaaren, han lade sig ikke omskære!
19 Circumcision is nothing, and vncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandements of God.
Omskærelse har intet at sige, og Forhud har intet at sige, men det at holde Guds Bud.
20 Let euery man abide in the same vocation wherein he was called.
Hver blive i den Stand, hvori han blev kaldet!
21 Art thou called being a seruant? care not for it: but if yet thou maiest be free, vse it rather.
Blev du kaldet som Træl, da lad det ikke bekymre dig, men om du ogsaa kan blive fri, da gør hellere Brug deraf!
22 For he that is called in the Lord, being. a seruant, is the Lords freeman: likewise also he that is called being free, is Christes seruant.
Thi den, der er kaldet i Herren som Træl, er Herrens frigivne; ligesaa er den, der er kaldet som fri, Kristi Træl.
23 Yee are bought with a price: be not the seruants of men.
Dyrt bleve I købte, vorder ikke Menneskers Trælle!
24 Brethren, let euery man, wherein hee was called, therein abide with God.
I den Stand, hvori enhver blev kaldet, Brødre, deri blive han for Gud!
25 Nowe concerning virgines, I haue no commandement of the Lord: but I giue mine aduise, as one that hath obtained mercie of the Lord to be faithfull.
Men om Jomfruerne har jeg ikke nogen Befaling fra Herren, men giver min Mening til Kende som den, hvem Herren barmhjertigt har forundt at være troværdig.
26 I suppose then this to bee good for the present necessitie: I meane that it is good for a man so to be.
Jeg mener altsaa dette, at det paa Grund af den forhaandenværende Nød er godt for et Menneske at være saaledes, som han er.
27 Art thou bounde vnto a wife? seeke not to be loosed: art thou loosed from a wife? seeke not a wife.
Er du bunden til en Kvinde, da søg ikke at blive løst; er du ikke bunden, da søg ikke en Hustru!
28 But if thou takest a wife, thou sinnest not: and if a virgine marrie, shee sinneth not: neuerthelesse, such shall haue trouble in the flesh: but I spare you.
Men om du ogsaa gifter dig, synder du ikke; og om en Jomfru gifter sig, synder hun ikke; dog ville saadanne faa Trængsel i Kødet. Men jeg skaaner eder.
29 And this I say, brethren, because the time is short, hereafter that both they which haue wiues, be as though they had none:
Men dette siger jeg eder, Brødre! at Tiden er kort, for at herefter baade de, der have Hustruer, skulle være, som om de ingen have,
30 And they that weepe, as though they wept not: and they that reioyce, as though they reioyced not: and they that bye, as though they possessed not:
og de, der græde, som om de ikke græde, og de, der glæde sig, som om de ikke glæde sig, og de, der købe, som om de ikke besidde,
31 And they that vse this worlde, as though they vsed it not: for the fashion of this worlde goeth away.
og de, der bruge denne Verden, som om de ikke gøre Brug af den; thi denne Verdens Skikkelse forgaar.
32 And I would haue you without care. The vnmaried careth for the things of the Lord, howe he may please the Lord.
Men jeg ønsker, at I maa være uden Bekymring. Den ugifte er bekymret for de Ting, som høre Herren til, hvorledes han kan behage Herren;
33 But hee that is maried, careth for the things of the world, how he may please his wife.
men den gifte er bekymret for de Ting, som høre Verden til, hvorledes han kan behage Hustruen.
34 There is difference also betweene a virgine and a wife: the vnmaried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy, both in body and in spirite: but shee that is maried, careth for the things of the worlde, howe shee may please her husband.
Og der er ogsaa Forskel imellem Hustruen og Jomfruen. Den ugifte er bekymret for de Ting, som høre Herren til, for at hun kan være hellig baade paa Legeme og Aand; men den gifte er bekymret for det, som hører Verden til, hvorledes hun kan behage Manden.
35 And this I speake for your owne commoditie, not to tangle you in a snare, but that yee follow that, which is honest, and that yee may cleaue fast vnto the Lord without separation.
Men dette siger jeg til eders eget Gavn, ikke for at kaste en Snare om eder, men for at bevare Sømmelighed og en urokkelig Vedhængen ved Herren.
36 But if any man thinke that it is vncomely for his virgine, if shee passe the flower of her age, and neede so require, let him do what he will, he sinneth not: let them be maried.
Men dersom nogen mener at volde sin ugifte Datter Skam, om hun sidder over Tiden, og det maa saa være, han gøre, hvad han vil, han synder ikke; lad dem gifte sig!
37 Neuerthelesse, hee that standeth firme in his heart, that hee hath no neede, but hath power ouer his owne will, and hath so decreed in his heart, that hee will keepe his virgine, hee doeth well.
Men den, som staar fast i sit Hjerte og ikke er tvungen, men har Raadighed over sin Villie og har besluttet dette i sit Hjerte at holde sin Datter ugift, han gør vel.
38 So then hee that giueth her to mariage, doeth well, but he that giueth her not to mariage, doeth better.
Altsaa, baade den, som bortgifter sin Datter, gør vel, og den, som ikke bortgifter hende, gør bedre.
39 The wife is bounde by the Lawe, as long as her husband liueth: but if her husband bee dead, shee is at libertie to marie with whome she will, onely in the Lord.
En Hustru er bunden, saa længe hendes Mand lever; men dersom Manden sover hen, er hun fri til at gifte sig med hvem hun vil, kun at det sker i Herren.
40 But shee is more blessed, if she so abide, in my iudgement: and I thinke that I haue also the Spirite of God.
Men lykkeligere er hun, om hun forbliver saaledes, som hun er, efter min Mening; men ogsaa jeg mener at have Guds Aand.
