Galatians 2
1 Then after fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus along with me.
Senere, efter fjorten Års Forløb, drog jeg atter op til Jerusalem med Brnabas og tog også Titus med.
2 I went up because of a revelation and set before them the gospel that I proclaim among the Gentiles. I spoke privately to those who seemed to be important, in order to make sure that I was not running—or had not run—in vain.
Men jeg drog op ifølge en Åbenbaring og forelagde dem, men særskilt de ansete, det Evangelium, som jeg prædiker iblandt Hedningerne, - om jeg vel løber eller har løbet forgæves.
3 But not even Titus, who was with me and who was a Greek, was forced to be circumcised.
Men end ikke min Ledsager, Titus, som var en Græker, blev tvungen til at omskæres,
4 The false brothers came in secretly to spy on the liberty we have in Christ Jesus. They desired to make us slaves,
nemlig for de indsnegne falske Brødres Skyld, som jo havde listet sig ind for at lure på vor Frihed, som vi have i Kristus Jesus, for at de kunde gøre os til Trælle.
5 but we did not yield in submission to them for a moment, so that the truth of the gospel would remain with you.
For dem vege vi end ikke et Øjeblik i Eftergivenhed, for at Evangeliets Sandhed måtte blive varig hos eder.
6 But those who seemed to be important (whatever they were does not matter to me, God shows no partiality)—those, I say, who seemed important added nothing to me.
Men fra deres Side, som ansås for at være noget, (hvordan de fordum vare, er mig uden Forskel; Gud ser ikke på et Menneskes Person; ) - over for mig nemlig havde de ansete intet at tilføje.
7 On the contrary, they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to those who are uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted with the gospel to those who are circumcised.
Men tværtimod, da de så, at jeg har fået Evangeliet til de uomskårne betroet, ligesom Peter til de omskårne,
8 For God, who worked in Peter for the apostleship to those who are circumcised, also worked in me to the Gentiles.
(thi han, som gav Peter Kraft til Apostelgerning for de omskårne, gav også mig Kaft dertil for Hedningerne; )
9 When James, Cephas, and John, who were recognized as those who built up the church, understood the grace that had been given to me, they gave the right hand of fellowship to Barnabas and me. They did this so that we should go to the Gentiles, and so that they should go to those who are circumcised.
og da de lærte den mig givne Nåde at kende, gave Jakob og Kefas og Johannes, som ansås for at være Søjler, mig og Barnabas Samfundshånd for at vi skulde gå til Hedningerne og de til de omskårne;
10 They requested only that we remember the poor, the very thing that I was eager to do.
kun at vi skulde komme de fattige i Hu, hvad jeg også just har bestræbt mig for at gøre.
11 But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he was declared to be in the wrong.
Men da Kefas kom til Antiokia, trådte jeg op imod ham for hans åbne Øjne, thi domfældt var han.
12 Before certain men came from James, Cephas was eating with the Gentiles. But when these men came, he stopped and kept away from the Gentiles. He was afraid of those who were demanding 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 Also the rest of the Jews joined in this hypocrisy. Even Barnabas was led astray with them by their hypocrisy.
Og med ham hyklede også de øvrige Jøder, så at endog Barnabas blev dragen med af deres Hykleri.
14 But when I saw that their behavior was not following the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in front of all of them, “If you are a Jew but are living like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”
Men da jeg så, at de ikke vandrede rettelig efter Evangeliets Sandhed, sagde jeg til Kefas i alles Påhør: Når du, som er en Jøde, lever på hedensk og ikke på jødisk Vis, hvor kan du da tvinge Hedningerne til at opføre sig som Jøder?
15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners;
Vi ere af Natur Jøder og ikke Syndere af hedensk Byrd;
16 yet we know that no person is justified by the works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus. We also came to faith in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law. For by the works of the law no flesh will be justified.
men da vi vide, at et Menneske ikke bliver retfærdiggjort af Lovens Gerninger, men kun ved Tro på Jesus Kristus, så have også vi troet på Kristus Jesus, for at vi måtte blive retfærdiggjorte al Tro på Kristus og ikke af Lovens Gerninger; thi af Lovens Geringer skal intet Kød blive retfærdiggjort.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we too, were found to be sinners, does Christ then promote sin? Absolutely not!
Men når vi, idet vi søgte at blive retfærdiggjorte i Kristus, også selv fandtes at være Syndere, så er jo Kristus en Tjener for Synd? Det være langtfra!
18 For if I rebuild those things I once destroyed, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
når jeg nemlig igen bygger det op, som jeg nedbrød, da viser jeg mig selv som Overtræder.
19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live for God.
Thi jeg er ved Loven død fra Loven, for at jeg skal leve for Gud.
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself 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, på Guds Søn, som elskede mig og gav sig selv hen for mig.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, then Christ died for nothing!
Jeg ophæver ikke Guds Nåde; thi er der Retfærdighed ved Loven, da er jo Kristus død forgæves.
