Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, a called apostle, set apart to preach the gospel of God,
Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
2 which he had promised before by his prophets in the Holy Scriptures,
hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
3 the gospel concerning his Son, who was born of the seed of David as to the flesh,
om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
4 and shown with power to be the Son of God as to his spirit of holiness, by the resurrection of the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord;
kraftelig bevist som Guds Søn efter Helligheds Aand ved Opstandelse fra de døde, Jesus Kristus, vor Herre,
5 through whom we received grace and the office of an apostle in behalf of his name, in order to produce obedience to the faith among all nations;
ved hvem vi have faaet Naade og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
6 among whom are ye also, the called of Jesus Christ;
iblandt hvilke ogsaa I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
7 to all the beloved of God at Rome, called, holy: Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Til alle Guds elskede, som ere i Rom, kaldede hellige. Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!
8 In the first place, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.
Først takker jeg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for eder alle, fordi eders Tro omtales i den hele Verden.
9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, how constantly I make mention of you, always in my prayers
Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Aand tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
10 supplicating that, if it be possible, I may at last through the will of God be favored with an opportunity of coming to you.
idet jeg bestandig i mine Bønner beder om, at jeg dog endelig engang maatte faa Lykke til ved Guds Villie at komme til eder.
11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift, which may be for your confirmation;
Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen aandelig Naadegave, for at I maatte styrkes,
12 that is, that I may be edified among you, and you also, through each other's faith, both yours and mine.
det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, baade eders og min.
13 But I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that I often purposed to come to you, though I have been hindered hitherto, that I might have some fruit of my labors among you also, as among the other gentiles.
Og jeg vil ikke, Brødre! at I skulle være uvidende om, at jeg ofte har sat mig for at komme til eder (men hidindtil er jeg bleven forhindret), for at jeg maatte faa nogen Frugt ogsaa iblandt eder, ligesom iblandt de øvrige Hedninger.
14 I am debtor both to Greeks and barbarians, both to the wise and the unwise.
Baade til Grækere og Barbarer, baade til vise og uforstandige staar jeg i Gæld.
15 So, according to my ability, I am ready to preach the gospel to you also in Rome.
Saaledes er jeg, hvad mig angaar, redebon til at forkynde Evangeliet ogsaa for eder, som ere i Rom.
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel; for to every believer, to the Jew first and also to the Greek, it is the power of God unto salvation.
Thi jeg skammer mig ikke ved Evangeliet; thi det er en Guds Kraft til Frelse for hver den, som tror, baade for Jøde først og for Græker.
17 For therein is revealed the righteousness which is of God from faith to faith; as it is written, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
Thi deri aabenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: „Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.”
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all impiety and unrighteousness of men, who keep down the truth in unrighteousness.
Thi Guds Vrede aabenbares fra Himmelen over al Ugudelighed og Uretfærdighed hos Mennesker, som holde Sandheden nede ved Uretfærdighed;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest within them; for God made it manifest to them.
thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er aabenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo aabenbaret dem det.
20 For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse. (aïdios g126)
Thi hans usynlige Væsen, baade hans evige Kraft og Guddommelighed, skues fra Verdens Skabelse af, idet det forstaas af hans Gerninger, saa at de have ingen Undskyldning. (aïdios g126)
21 Because though they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful to him; but became perverse in their reasonings, and their senseless minds were darkened;
Thi skønt de kendte Gud, saa ærede eller takkede de ham dog ikke som Gud, men bleve taabelige i deres Tanker, og deres uforstandige Hjerte blev formørket.
22 professing to be wise, they became fools,
Idet de paastode at være vise, bleve de Daarer
23 and for the glory of the incorruptible God they substituted images of corruptible man, and of birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things.
og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende Dyr.
24 Wherefore God also gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to debase their bodies with one another;
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
25 because they changed the true God for false gods, and adored and worshipped created things rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
de, som ombyttede Guds Sandhed med Løgnen og dyrkede og tjente Skabningen fremfor Skaberen, som er højlovet i Evighed! Amen. (aiōn g165)
26 For this cause God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women indulged in unnatural lust,
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi baade deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
27 and in like manner the men also, neglecting the natural use of the female, burned with lust for one another, men with men practising that which is shameful, and receiving in themselves the due recompense of their error.
og ligesaa forlode ogsaa Mændene den naturlige Omgang med Kvinden og optændtes i deres Brynde efter hverandre, saa at Mænd øvede Uterlighed med Mænd og fik deres Vildfarelses Løn, som det burde sig, paa sig selv.
28 And as they did not choose to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do things which are shameful;
Og ligesom de forkastede at have Gud i Erkendelse, saaledes gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
29 being filled with all unrighteousness, malice, covetousness, wickedness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; backbiters,
opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
30 slanderers, hated of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of mischief, disobedient to parents,
Øretudere, Bagvadskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige, Pralere, opfindsomme paa ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
31 senseless, faithless, without natural affection, without pity;
uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
32 who, although knowing the ordinance of God, that they who practise such things deserve death, not only do them themselves, but approve of those who do them.
— hvilke jo, skønt de erkende Guds retfærdige Dom, at de, der øve saadanne Ting, fortjene Døden, dog ikke alene gøre det, men ogsaa give dem, som øve det, deres Bifald.
