Galatians 2
1 Then fourteene yeeres after, I went vp againe to Hierusalem with Barnabas, and tooke with me Titus also.
Senere, efter fjorten Aars Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Barnabas og tog ogsaa Titus med.
2 And I went vp by reuelation, and declared vnto them that Gospel which I preach among the Gentiles, but particularly to them that were the chiefe, least by any meanes I should runne, or had runne in vaine:
Men jeg drog op ifølge en Aabenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, — om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
3 But neither yet Titus which was with me, though he were a Grecian, was compelled to be circumcised,
Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
4 To wit, for the false brethren which were craftily sent in, and crept in priuily to spie out our libertie, which we haue in Christ Iesus, that they might bring vs into bondage.
nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure paa vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
5 To whom we gaue not place by subiection for an houre, that the trueth of the Gospel might continue with you.
For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed maatte blive varig hos eder.
6 But by them which seemed to be great, I was not taught (whatsoeuer they were in time passed, I am nothing the better: God accepteth no mans person) for they that are the chiefe, did adde nothing to me aboue that I had.
Men fra deres Side, som ansaas for at være noget, (hvordanne de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke paa et Menneskes Person; ) — over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that ye Gospel ouer ye vncircumcision was comitted vnto me, as the Gospel ouer ye circumcision was vnto Peter:
Men tværtimod, da de saa, at jeg har faaet Evangeliet til de uomskaarne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskaarne,
8 (For he that was mightie by Peter in the Apostleship ouer the circumcision, was also mightie by me toward the Gentiles)
(thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskaarne, gav ogsaa mig Kraft dertil for Hedningerne; )
9 And when Iames, and Cephas, and Iohn, knew of the grace that was giuen vnto me, which are counted to be pillars, they gaue to me and to Barnabas the right hands of fellowship, that we should preach vnto the Gentiles, and they vnto the Circumcision,
og da de lærte den mig givne Naade at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansaas for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshaand for at vi skulde gaa til Hedningerne og de til de omskaarne;
10 Warning onely that we should remember the poore: which thing also I was diligent to doe.
kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg ogsaa just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
11 And when Peter was come to Antiochia, I withstood him to his face: for he was to be condemned.
Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, traadte jeg op imod ham for hans aabne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
12 For before that certaine came from Iames, he ate with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himselfe, fearing them which were of the Circumcision.
Thi førend der kom nogle fra Jakob, spiste han sammen med Hedningerne; men da de kom, trak han sig tilbage og skilte sig fra dem af Frygt for dem af Omskærelsen.
13 And the other Iewes played the hypocrites likewise with him, in so much that Barnabas was led away with them by that their hypocrisie.
Og med ham hyklede ogsaa de øvrige Jøder, saa at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
14 But when I saw, that they went not ye right way to the trueth of ye Gospel, I sayd vnto Peter before all men, If thou being a Iewe, liuest as the Gentiles, and not like the Iewes, why constrainest thou the Gentiles to doe like the Iewes?
Men da jeg saa, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Paahør: Naar du, som er en Jøde, lever paa hedensk og ikke paa jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
15 We which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
16 Knowe that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by ye faith of Iesus Christ, euen we, I say, haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, and not by the workes of the Lawe, because that by the workes of the Lawe, no flesh shalbe iustified.
men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro paa Jesus Kristus, saa have ogsaa vi troet paa Kristus Jesus, for at vi maatte blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro paa Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Gerninger skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
17 If then while we seeke to be made righteous by Christ, we our selues are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sinne? God forbid.
Men naar vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, ogsaa selv fandtes at være Syndere, saa er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
18 For if I build againe the things that I haue destroyed, I make my selfe a trespasser.
naar jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
19 For I through the Lawe am dead to the Lawe, that I might liue vnto God.
Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
20 I am crucified with Christ, but I liue, yet not I any more, but Christ liueth in me: and in that that I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Sonne of God, who hath loued me, and giuen him selfe for me.
Med Kristus er jeg korsfæstet, og det er ikke mere mig, der lever, men Kristus lever i mig; men hvad jeg nu lever i Kødet, det lever jeg i Troen paa Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
21 I doe not abrogate the grace of God: for if righteousnes be by the Lawe, then Christ dyed without a cause.
Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Naade; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
