Romans 10
1 Brethren, the desire of my heart and my prayer to God for them is, that they may be saved.
Brødre! mit Hjertes Ønske og Bøn til Gud for dem er om deres Frelse.
2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Thi jeg giver dem det Vidnesbyrd, at de have Nidkærhed for Gud, men ikke med Forstand;
3 For being ignorant of the righteousness which is of God, and endeavoring to establish a righteousness of their own, they have not submitted themselves to the righteousness which is of God.
thi da de ikke kendte Guds Retfærdighed og tragtede efter at opstille deres egen Retfærdighed, saa bøjede de sig ikke under Guds Retfærdighed.
4 For Christ is the end of the Law, so that every one that believeth may obtain righteousness.
Thi Kristus er Lovens Ende til Retfærdighed for hver den, som tror.
5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the Law: “The man that hath done these things shall live by them.”
Moses skriver jo, at det Menneske, som gør den Retfærdighed, der er af Loven, skal leve ved den.
6 But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh thus: Say not in thy heart, “Who shall ascend into heaven?” that is, to bring Christ down.
Men Retfærdigheden af Tro siger saaledes: Sig ikke i dit Hjerte: Hvem vil fare op til Himmelen? nemlig for at hente Kristus ned;
eller: Hvem vil fare ned i Afgrunden? nemlig for at hente Kristus op fra de døde. (Abyssos g12)
8 But what saith it? “The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart;” that is, the word concerning faith, which we preach;
Men hvad siger den? Ordet er dig nær, i din Mund og i dit Hjerte, det er det Troens Ord, som vi prædike.
9 for if thou shalt acknowledge with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Thi dersom du med din Mund bekender Jesus som Herre og tror i dit Hjerte, at Gud oprejste ham fra de døde, da skal du blive frelst.
10 For with the heart man believeth so as to obtain righteousness, and with the mouth professeth so as to obtain salvation.
Thi med Hjertet tror man til Retfærdighed, og med Munden bekender man til Frelse.
11 For the Scripture saith, “Whoever believeth in him shall not be put to shame.”
Skriften siger jo: „Hver den, som tror paa ham, skal ikke blive til Skamme.‟
12 For there is no difference between Jew and Greek; for one and the same is Lord over all, rich to all that call upon him.
Thi der er ikke Forskel paa Jøde og Græker; thi den samme er alles Herre, rig nok for alle dem, som paakalde ham.
13 For “every one who calleth upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Thi hver den, som paakalder Herrens Navn, skal blive frelst.
14 How then shall they call on him, in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him, of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
Hvorledes skulde de nu paakalde den, paa hvem de ikke have troet? og hvorledes skulde de tro den, som de ikke have hørt? og hvorledes skulde de høre, uden der er nogen, som prædiker?
15 and how shall men preach, unless they are sent forth? as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring glad tidings of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!”
og hvorledes skulde de prædike, dersom de ikke bleve udsendte? Som der er skrevet: „Hvor dejlige ere deres Fødder, som forkynde godt Budskab.‟
16 But they did not all hearken to the glad tidings. For Isaiah saith, “Lord, who hath believed what he hath heard from us?”
Dog ikke alle løde Evangeliet; thi Esajas siger: „Herre! hvem troede det, han hørte af os?‟
17 Faith then cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Altsaa kommer Troen af det, som høres, men det, som høres, kommer igennem Kristi Ord.
18 But I say, Did they not hear? Yes truly, “Their voice went forth into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.”
Men jeg siger: Have de ikke hørt? Jo vist, „over hele Jorden er deres Røst udgaaet og til Jorderiges Grænser deres Ord.‟
19 But I say, Hath not Israel had knowledge? First, Moses saith, “I will move you to jealousy by that which is no nation, I will excite you to indignation by a foolish people.”
Men jeg siger: Har Israel ikke forstaaet det? Først siger Moses: „Jeg vil gøre eder nidkære paa et Folk, som ikke er et Folk, imod et uforstandigt Folk vil jeg opirre eder.‟
20 But Isaiah is very bold, and saith, “I was found by those who sought me not, I became known to those who inquired not for me.”
Men Esajas drister sig til at sige: „Jeg blev funden af dem, som ikke søgte mig; jeg blev aabenbar for dem, som ikke spurgte efter mig.‟
21 But concerning Israel he saith, “All the day long I have stretched out my hands to a disobedient and rebellious people.”
Men om Israel siger han: „Den hele Dag udstrakte jeg mine Hænder imod et ulydigt og genstridigt Folk.‟
