Galatians 3
1 Foolish Galatians, who has cunningly deceived you, before whose eyes Yeshua Meshikha was openly set forth as crucified?
O, I uforstandige Galatere! hvem har fortryllet eder, I, hvem Jesus Kristus blev malet for Øje som korsfæstet?
2 I just want to learn this from you. Did you receive the Rukha by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Kun dette vil jeg vide af eder: Var det ved Lovens Gerninger, I modtoge Ånden, eller ved i Tro at høre?
3 Are you so foolish? Having begun in the Rukha, are you now completed in the flesh?
Ere I så uforstandige? ville I, som begyndte i Ånd, nu ende i Kød?
4 Did you suffer so many things in vain, if it is indeed in vain?
Have I da prøvet så meget forgæves? hvis det da virkelig er forgæves!
5 He therefore who supplies the Rukha to you, and works miracles among you, does he do it by the works of the law, or by hearing of faith?
Mon da han, som meddeler eder Ånden og virker kraftige Gerninger iblandt eder, gør dette ved Lovens Gerninger eller ved, at I høre i Tro?
6 Even as Avraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.
ligesom jo "Abraham troede Gud, og det blev regnet ham til Retfærdighed".
7 Know therefore that those who are of faith, the same are children of Avraham.
Erkender altså, at de, som ere af Tro, disse ere Abrahams Børn.
8 The Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the non-Jews by faith, preached the Good News beforehand to Avraham, saying, "Through you all the nations will be blessed."
Men da Skriften forudså, at det er af Tro, at Gud retfærdiggør Hedningerne, forkyndte den forud Abraham det Evangelium: "I dig skulle alle Folkeslagene velsignes",
9 So then, those who are of faith are blessed with the faithful Avraham.
så at de, som ere af Tro, velsignes sammen med den troende Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."
Thi så mange, som holde sig til Lovens Gerninger, ere under Forbandelse; thi der er skrevet: "Forbandet hver den, som ikke bliver i alle de Ting, som ere skrevne i Lovens Bog, så han gør dem."
11 Now it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, for, "The righteous will live by faith."
Men at ingen bliver retfærdiggjort for Gud ved Lov, er åbenbart, thi "deri retfærdige skal leve af Tro."
12 The law is not of faith, but, "The one who does them will live by them."
Men Loven beror ikke på Tro; men: "Den, som gør disse Ting, skal leve ved dem."
13 Meshikha redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"
Kristus har løskøbt os fra Lovens Forbandelse, idet han blev en Forbandelse for os (thi der er skrevet: "Forbandet er hver den, som hænger på et Træ"),
14 that the blessing of Avraham might come on the non-Jews through Meshikha Yeshua; that we might receive the promise of the Rukha through faith.
for at Abrahams Velsignelse måtte komme til Hedningerne i Kristus Jesus, for at vi kunde få Åndens Forjættelse ved Troen.
15 Brothers, I am speaking in human terms. Though it is only a human covenant, once it has been ratified, no one annuls it or adds to it.
Brødre! jeg taler på Menneskevis: Ingen ophæver dog et Menneskes stadfæstede Arvepagt eller føjer noget dertil.
16 Now the promises were spoken to Avraham and to his offspring. He does not say, "And to offsprings," as of many, but as of one, "And to your offspring," which is Meshikha.
Men Abraham og hans Sæd bleve Forjættelserne tilsagte; der siges ikke: "og Sædene", som om mange, men som om eet: "og din Sæd", hvilken er Kristus.
17 Now I say this: the law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the promise.
Jeg mener dermed dette: En Pagt, som forud er stadfæstet af Gud, kan Loven, som blev til fire Hundrede og tredive År senere, ikke gøre ugyldig, så at den skulde gøre Forjættelsen til intet.
18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Avraham by promise.
Thi fås Arven ved Lov, da fås den ikke mere ved Forjættelse; men til Abraham har Gud skænket den ved Forjættelse.
19 What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Hvad skulde da Loven? Den blev føjet til for Overtrædelsernes Skyld (indtil den Sæd kom, hvem Forjættelsen gjaldt), besørget ved Engle, ved en Mellemmands Hånd.
20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
Men en Mellemmand er ikke kun for een Part; Gud derimod er een.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not. For if there had been a law given which could give life, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
Er da Loven imod Guds Forjættelser? Det være langtfra! Ja, hvis der var givet en Lov, som kunde levendegøre, da var Retfærdigheden virkelig af Lov.
22 But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua Meshikha might be given to those who believe.
Men Skriften har indesluttet alt under Synd, for at Forjættelsen skulde af Tro på Jesus Kristus gives dem, som tro.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Men førend Troen kom, holdtes vi indelukkede under Lovens Bevogtning til den Tro, som skulde åbenbares,
24 So that the law was our tutor to bring us to Meshikha, that we might be justified by faith.
så at Loven er bleven os en Tugtemester til Kristus, for at vi skulde blive retfærdiggjorte af Tro.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Men efter at Troen er kommen, ere vi ikke mere under Tugtemester.
26 For you are all children of God, through faith in Meshikha Yeshua.
Thi alle ere I Guds Børn ved Troen på Kristus Jesus.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Meshikha have put on Meshikha.
Thi I, så mange som bleve døbte til Kristus, have iført eder Kristus.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Meshikha Yeshua.
Her er ikke Jøde eller Græker; her er ikke Træl eller fri; her er ikke Mand og Kvinde; thi alle ere I een i Kristus Jesus.
29 If you are Meshikha's, then you are Avraham's offspring and heirs according to promise.
Men når I høre Kristus til, da ere I jo Abrahams Sæd, Arvinger ifølge Forjættelse.
