2 Corinthians 11
1 O that you were bearing with me a little of the folly, but you also bear with me:
Gid I vilde finde eder i en Smule Daarskab af mig! Dog, I gøre det jo nok.
2 for I am zealous for you with zeal of God, for I betrothed you to one Husband, a pure virgin, to present 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 and I fear, lest, as the serpent deceived Eve in his subtlety, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that [is] in the Christ;
Men jeg frygter for, at ligesom Slangen bedrog Eva ved sin Træskhed, saaledes skulle eders Tanker fordærves og miste det oprigtige Sindelag over for Kristus.
4 for if, indeed, he who is coming preaches another Jesus whom we did not preach, or you receive another spirit which you did not receive, or other good news which you did not accept—well were you bearing [it],
Thi dersom nogen kommer og prædiker en anden Jesus, som vi ikke prædikede, eller I faa en anderledes Aand, som I ikke fik, eller et anderledes Evangelium, som I ikke modtoge, da vilde I kønt finde eder deri.
5 for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
Thi jeg mener ikke at staa tilbage i noget for de saare store Apostle.
6 and even if a commoner in speech—yet not in knowledge, but in everything we were made evident in all things to you.
Er jeg end ulærd i Tale, saa er jeg det dog ikke i Kundskab; tværtimod paa enhver Maade have vi lagt den for Dagen for eder i alle Stykker.
7 Did I do sin—humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I freely proclaimed the good news of God to you?
Eller gjorde jeg Synd i at fornedre mig selv, for at I skulde ophøjes, idet jeg forkyndte eder Guds Evangelium for intet?
8 I robbed other assemblies, having taken wages, for your ministry;
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 being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for the brothers supplied my lack—having come from Macedonia—and I kept myself burdenless to you in everything, and will keep.
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 The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting will not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
Saa vist som Kristi Sandhed er i mig, skal denne Ros ikke fratages mig i Akajas Egne.
11 for what reason? Because I do not love you? God has known!
Hvorfor? mon fordi jeg ikke elsker eder? Gud ved det.
12 And what I do, I also will do, that I may cut off the occasion of those wishing an occasion, that in that which they boast they may be found according as we also;
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 those such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ,
Thi saadanne ere falske Apostle, svigefulde Arbejdere, som paatage sig Skikkelse af Kristi Apostle.
14 and no wonder—for even Satan transforms himself into a messenger of light;
Og det er intet Under; thi Satan selv paatager sig Skikkelse af en Lysets Engel.
15 [it is] no great thing, then, if his servants also transform themselves as servants of righteousness—whose end will be according to their works.
Derfor er det ikke noget stort, om ogsaa hans Tjenere paatage sig Skikkelse som Retfærdigheds Tjenere; men deres Ende skal være efter deres Gerninger.
16 Again I say, may no one think me to be a fool; and if otherwise, receive me even as a fool, that I also may boast a little.
Atter siger jeg: Ingen maa agte mig for en Daare; men hvis saa skal være, saa taaler mig endog som en Daare, for at ogsaa jeg kan rose mig en Smule.
17 That which I speak, I do not speak according to the LORD, but as in foolishness, in this the confidence of boasting;
Hvad jeg nu taler, taler jeg ikke efter Herrens Sind, men som i Daarskab, idet jeg tillidsfuldt roser mig.
18 since many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast:
Efterdi mange rose sig med Hensyn til Kødet, vil ogsaa jeg rose mig.
19 for you gladly bear with the fools—being wise,
Gerne finde I eder jo i Daarerne, efterdi I ere kloge.
20 for you bear, if anyone is bringing you under bondage, if anyone devours, if anyone takes away, if anyone exalts himself, if anyone strikes you 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 slaar eder i Ansigtet.
21 I speak in reference to dishonor, how that we were weak, and in whatever anyone is bold—in foolishness I say [it]—I also am bold.
Med Skamfuldhed siger jeg det, efterdi vi have været svage; men hvad end nogen trodser paa (jeg taler i Daarskab), derpaa trodser ogsaa jeg.
22 Are they Hebrews? I also! Are they Israelites? I also! Are they seed of Abraham? I also!
Ere de Hebræere? Jeg ogsaa. Ere de Israeliter? Jeg ogsaa. Ere de Abrahams Sæd? Jeg ogsaa.
23 Are they servants of Christ? As [if] beside myself I speak—I [am] more; in labors more abundantly, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths many times.
Ere de Kristi Tjenere? Jeg taler i Vanvid: Jeg er det mere. Jeg har lidt langt flere Besværligheder, faaet langt flere Slag, været hyppigt i Fængsel, ofte i Dødsfare.
24 Five times I received from Jews forty [stripes] except one;
Af Jøder har jeg fem Gange faaet fyrretyve Slag mindre end eet.
25 three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, I have passed a night and a day in the deep;
Tre Gange er jeg bleven pisket, een Gang stenet, tre Gange har jeg lidt Skibbrud, et Døgn har jeg tilbragt paa Dybet;
26 journeys many times, perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils from [my own] race, perils from nations, perils in city, perils in wilderness, perils in sea, perils among false brothers;
ofte paa 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 paa Havet, i Farer iblandt falske Brødre;
27 in laboriousness and painfulness, many times in watchings, in hunger and thirst, many times in fastings, in cold and nakedness;
i Møje og Anstrengelse, ofte i Nattevaagen, i Hunger og Tørst, ofte i Faste, i Kulde og Nøgenhed;
28 apart from the things without—the crowding on me that is daily—the care of all the assemblies.
foruden hvad der kommer til, mit daglige Overløb, Bekymringen for alle Menighederne.
29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I am not burned?
Hvem er skrøbelig, uden at ogsaa jeg er det? hvem bliver forarget, uden at det brænder i mig?
30 If it is necessary to boast, I will boast of the things of my weakness;
Dersom jeg skal rose mig, da vil jeg rose mig af min Magtesløshed.
31 the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ—who is blessed for all ages—has known that I do not lie! (aiōn g165)
Gud og den Herres Jesu Fader, som er højlovet i Evighed, ved, at jeg ikke lyver. (aiōn g165)
32 In Damascus the governor [under] Aretas the king was watching the city of the Damascenes, wishing to seize me,
I Damaskus holdt Kong Aretas's Statholder Damaskenernes Stad bevogtet for at gribe mig;
33 and I was let down through a window in a rope basket, through the wall, and fled out of his hands.
men jeg blev igennem en Luge firet ned over Muren i en Kurv og undflyede af hans Hænder.
