Romerne 1
1 Paulus, Jesu Kristi tenar, kalla til apostel, utkåra til å forkynna Guds evangelium,
Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, an Apostle by the selection of God, given authority as a preacher of the good news,
2 som han lova fyreåt gjenom profetarne sine i heilage skrifter,
Of which God had given word before by his prophets in the holy Writings,
3 um Son hans, som etter kjøtet er komen av Davids ætt,
About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,
4 som etter heilagdoms ånd er sannsynt å vera Guds velduge Son ved uppstoda frå dei daude, Jesus Kristus, vår Herre,
But was marked out as Son of God in power by the Holy Spirit through the coming to life again of the dead; Jesus Christ our Lord,
5 som me fekk nåde ved og apostel-embætte til å verka lydnad i tru millom alle heidningfolki for hans namn skuld
Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 - millom deim er de og kalla til Jesus Kristus -
Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:
7 til alle deim i Rom som Gud elskar, de kalla, heilage: Nåde vere med dykk og fred frå Gud, vår Fader, og Herren Jesus Kristus!
To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
8 Fyrst takkar eg min Gud ved Jesus Kristus for dykk alle, av di trui dykkar er namngjeti i heile verdi.
First of all, I give praise to my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because news of your faith has gone into all the world.
9 For Gud som eg tener i mi ånd i hans Sons evangelium, han er mitt vitne um kor uavlatande eg kjem dykk i hug.
For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,
10 I bønerne mine bed eg alltid um at eg då endeleg eingong med Guds vilje kunde få lukka til å koma til dykk.
And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.
11 For eg stundar etter å sjå dykk, so eg kunde få gjeva dykk av eikor åndeleg nådegåva med meg til dykkar styrkjing,
For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;
12 det vil segja at eg hjå dykk kunde hyggjast saman med dykk ved vår sams tru, dykkar og mi.
That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.
13 Og eg vil ikkje, brør, at de skal vera uvitande um at eg ofte hev etla meg til å koma til dykk - men eg vart hindra alt til no - so eg kunde hava eikor frukt hjå dykk og, liksom hjå hine heidningfolki.
You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.
14 Eg stend i skuld både til grækarar og barbarar, både til vise og uvise.
I have a debt to Greeks and to the nations outside; to the wise and to those who have no learning.
15 Soleis er eg på mi sida viljug til å preika evangeliet for dykk og som er i Rom.
For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.
16 For eg skjemmest ikkje ved evangeliet, for det er ei Guds kraft til frelsa for kvar den som trur, både for jøde fyrst og so for grækar.
For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.
17 For i det vert Guds rettferd openberra av tru til tru, som skrive stend: «Den rettferdige, av tru skal han liva.»
For in it there is the revelation of the righteousness of God from faith to faith: as it is said in the holy Writings, The man who does righteousness will be living by his faith.
18 For Guds vreide vert openberra frå himmelen yver all gudløysa og urettferdi hjå folk som held att sanningi i urettferd.
For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;
19 For det som ein kann vita um Gud, ligg i dagen for deim, for Gud hev openberra deim det.
Because the knowledge of God may be seen in them, God having made it clear to them.
20 For hans usynlege grunnhått, både hans ævelege kraft og guddom, er synleg sidan han skapte verdi, då ein kann skyna honom av gjerningarne - so folk skal vera utan orsaking (aïdios g126)
For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing: (aïdios g126)
21 når dei, endå dei kjende Gud, like vel ikkje æra eller takka honom som Gud, men vart fåfengde i tankarne sine, og deira uvituge hjarta myrktest.
Because, having the knowledge of God, they did not give glory to God as God, and did not give praise, but their minds were full of foolish things, and their hearts, being without sense, were made dark.
22 Medan dei briska seg med at dei var vise, vart dei dårar,
Seeming to be wise, they were in fact foolish,
23 og dei bytte den uforgjengelege Guds herlegdom burt for eit bilæte som likjest eit forgjengelegt menneskje og fuglar og firføtte dyr og krjupdyr.
And by them the glory of the eternal God was changed and made into the image of man who is not eternal, and of birds and beasts and things which go on the earth.
24 Difor gav Gud deim yver i deira hjartans lyster til ureinskap, so dei skjemde sine likamar seg imillom,
For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:
25 dei som bytte burt Guds sanning for lygn, og æra og dyrka skapningen framfor skaparen, han som er velsigna i all æva. Amen. (aiōn g165)
Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it. (aiōn g165)
26 Difor gav Gud deim yver til skamlege lyster, for både kvinnorne deira forvende det naturlege bruket til det unaturlige,
For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:
27 og like eins gjekk mennerne og burt frå det naturlege bruket av kvinna og kveiktest upp i lyst til kvarandre, so menner dreiv skjemdarverk med menner, og fekk på seg sjølve det vederlag for si villferd som rett var.
And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.
28 Og liksom dei ikkje brydde seg um å eiga Gud i kunnskap, so gav Gud deim yver til ein hug som inkje duger, so dei gjorde det usømelege:
And because they had not the mind to keep God in their knowledge, God gave them up to an evil mind, to do those things which are not right;
29 fulle av all urettferd, vanart, vinnesykja, vondskap, fulle av ovund, mord, trætta, svik, fulkynde,
Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;
30 øyretutarar, baktalarar, gudhata, valdsmenner, stormodige, storordige, uppfinnsame på vondt, ulyduge mot foreldre,
Hated by God, full of pride, without respect, full of loud talk, given to evil inventions, not honouring father or mother,
31 uvituge, usætande, ukjærlege, miskunnlause;
Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:
32 slike som vel kjenner Guds dom, at dei som gjer slikt, er verde dauden, og endå ikkje berre gjer det, men og gjev deim medhald som gjer det.
Who, though they have knowledge of the law of God, that the fate of those who do these things is death, not only go on doing these things themselves, but give approval to those who do them.
