Romans 1
1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, having been separated to the good news of God —
Paulus, Jesu Kristi Tjener, Apostel ifølge Kald, udtagen til at forkynde Guds Evangelium,
2 which He announced before through His prophets in holy writings —
hvilket han forud forjættede ved sine Profeter i hellige Skrifter,
3 concerning His Son, (who is come of the seed of David according to the flesh,
om hans Søn, født af Davids Sæd efter Kødet,
4 who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from 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 did receive grace and apostleship, for obedience of faith among all the nations, in behalf of his name;
ved hvem vi have faaet Naade og Apostelgerning til at virke Tros-Lydighed iblandt alle Hedningerne for hans Navns Skyld,
6 among whom are also ye, the called of Jesus Christ;
iblandt hvilke ogsaa I ere Jesu Kristi kaldede:
7 to all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called saints; Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father, and [from] 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 first, indeed, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is proclaimed in 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 in my spirit in the good news of His Son, how unceasingly I make mention of you,
Thi Gud er mit Vidne, hvem jeg i min Aand tjener i hans Søns Evangelium, hvor uafladeligt jeg kommer eder i Hu,
10 always in my prayers beseeching, if by any means now at length I shall have a prosperous journey, by the will of God, to come unto 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, that ye may be established;
Thi jeg længes efter at se eder, for at jeg kunde meddele eder nogen aandelig Naadegave, for at I maatte styrkes,
12 and that is, that I may be comforted together among you, through the faith in one another, both yours and mine.
det vil sige, for sammen at opmuntres hos eder ved hinandens Tro, baade eders og min.
13 And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, that many times I did purpose to come unto you — and was hindered till the present time — that some fruit I might have also among you, even as also among the other nations.
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 Both to Greeks and to foreigners, both to wise and to thoughtless, I am a debtor,
Baade til Grækere og Barbarer, baade til vise og uforstandige staar jeg i Gæld.
15 so, as much as in me is, I am ready also to you who [are] in Rome to proclaim good news,
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 good news of the Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation to every one who is believing, both to Jew first, and to Greek.
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 the righteousness of God in it is revealed from faith to faith, according as it hath been written, 'And the righteous one by faith shall live,'
Thi deri aabenbares Guds Retfærdighed af Tro for Tro, som der er skrevet: „Men den retfærdige skal leve af Tro.‟
18 for revealed is the wrath of God from heaven upon all impiety and unrighteousness of men, holding 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 is known of God is manifest among them, for God did manifest [it] to them,
thi det, som man kan vide om Gud, er aabenbart iblandt dem; Gud har jo aabenbaret dem det.
20 for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, by the things made being understood, are plainly seen, both His eternal power and Godhead — to their being inexcusable; (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, having known God they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor gave thanks, but were made vain in their reasonings, and their unintelligent heart was 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 were made fools,
Idet de paastode at være vise, bleve de Daarer
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of fowls, and of quadrupeds, and of reptiles.
og omskiftede den uforkrænkelige Guds Herlighed med et Billede i Lighed med et forkrænkeligt Menneske og Fugle og firføddede og krybende Dyr.
24 Wherefore also God did give them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i deres Hjerters Begæringer til Urenhed, til at vanære deres Legemer indbyrdes,
25 who did change the truth of God into a falsehood, and did honour and serve the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed to the ages. 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 Because of this did God give them up to dishonourable affections, for even their females did change the natural use into that against nature;
Derfor gav Gud dem hen i vanærende Lidenskaber; thi baade deres Kvinder ombyttede den naturlige Omgang med den unaturlige,
27 and in like manner also the males having left the natural use of the female, did burn in their longing toward one another; males with males working shame, and the recompense of their error that was fit, in themselves receiving.
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, according as they did not approve of having God in knowledge, God gave them up to a disapproved mind, to do the things not seemly;
Og ligesom de forkastede at have Gud i Erkendelse, saaledes gav Gud dem hen i et forkasteligt Sind til at gøre det usømmelige,
29 having been filled with all unrighteousness, whoredom, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil dispositions; whisperers,
opfyldte med al Uretfærdighed, Ondskab, Havesyge, Slethed; fulde af Avind, Mord, Kiv, Svig, Ondsindethed;
30 evil-speakers, God-haters, insulting, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Øretudere, Bagvadskere, Gudshadere, Voldsmænd, hovmodige, Pralere, opfindsomme paa ondt, ulydige mod Forældre,
31 unintelligent, faithless, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful;
uforstandige, troløse, ukærlige, ubarmhjertige;
32 who the righteous judgment of God having known — that those practising such things are worthy of death — not only do them, but also have delight with those practising 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.
