1 Peter 1
1 Peter, Jesu Kristi Apostel, til Udlændingene i Adspredelse i Pontus, Galatien, Kappadokien, Asien og Bithynien,
Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the chosen ones who are living as foreigners in the Diaspora in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
2 udvalgte efter Gud Faders Forudviden, ved Aandens Helligelse, til Lydighed og Bestænkelse med Jesu Kristi Blod: Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del!
according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
3 Lovet være Gud og vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader, som efter sin store Barmhjertighed har genfødt os til et levende Haab ved Jesu Kristi Opstandelse fra de døde,
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to his great mercy caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4 til en uforkrænkelig og ubesmittelig og uvisnelig Arv, som er bevaret i Himlene til eder,
to an incorruptible and undefiled inheritance that does not fade away, reserved in Heaven for you,
5 I, som ved Guds Kraft bevogtes ved Tro til en Frelse, som er rede til at aabenbares i den sidste Tid,
who by the power of God are guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6 i hvilken I skulle fryde eder, om I end nu en liden Stund, hvis saa skal være, bedrøves i mange Haande Prøvelser,
Wherein you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials,
7 for at eders prøvede Tro, som er meget dyrebarere end det forgængelige Guld, der dog prøves ved Ild, maa findes til Ros og Herlighed og Ære i Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse,
that the genuineness of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise and glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed—
8 ham, som I ikke have set og dog elske, ham, som I, skønt I nu ikke se, men tro, skulle fryde eder over med en uudsigelig og forherliget Glæde,
whom not having seen you love; in whom, though now you do not see him, yet believing, you rejoice greatly with joy inexpressible and full of glory—
9 naar I naa Maalet for eders Tro, Sjælenes Frelse.
receiving the result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
10 Om denne Frelse have Profeter gransket og ransaget, de, som profeterede om den Naade, der skulde blive eder til Del,
Concerning this salvation, the prophets sought and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that would come to you,
11 idet de granskede over, hvilken eller hvordan en Tid Kristi Aand, som var i dem, henviste til, naar den forud vidnede om Kristi Lidelser og den derpaa følgende Herlighed.
searching for who or what kind of time the Spirit of Christ, which was in them, pointed to, when he predicted the sufferings of Christ, and the glories that would follow them.
12 Og det blev dem aabenbaret, at det ikke var dem selv, men eder, de tjente med disse Ting, som nu ere blevne eder kundgjorte ved dem, der have forkyndt eder Evangeliet i den Helligaand, som blev sendt fra Himmelen, hvilke Ting Engle begære at skue ind i.
To them it was revealed, that not to themselves, but to you, they ministered these things, which now have been announced to you through those who preached the Good News to you by the Holy Spirit sent out from heaven; which things angels desire to look into.
13 Derfor, binder op om eders Sinds Lænder, være ædrue, og sætter fuldt ud eders Haab til den Naade, som bliver eder til Del i Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse.
Therefore, prepare your minds for action, be sober and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
14 Som lydige Børn skulle I ikke skikke eder efter de forrige Lyster i eders Vankundighed;
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the desires as in your ignorance,
15 men efter den hellige, som kaldte eder, skulle ogsaa I vorde hellige i al eders Vandel;
but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all of your behavior;
16 thi der er skrevet: „I skulle være hellige, thi jeg er hellig.‟
because it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy."
17 Og dersom I paakalde ham som Fader, der dømmer uden Persons Anseelse efter enhvers Gerning, da bør I vandre i Frygt eders Udlændigheds Tid,
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man's work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear:
18 vel vidende, at det ikke var med forkrænkelige Ting, Sølv eller Guld, at I bleve løskøbte fra eders tomme Vandel, som var overleveret eder fra Fædrene,
knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers,
19 men med Kristi dyrebare Blod som et lydeløst og uplettet Lams,
but with precious blood, as of an unblemished and spotless lamb, namely Christ.
20 han, som var forud kendt før Verdens Grundlæggelse, men blev aabenbaret ved Tidernes Ende for eders Skyld,
He was chosen in advance before the foundation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake,
21 der ved ham tro paa Gud, som oprejste ham fra de døde og gav ham Herlighed, saa at eders Tro ogsaa er Haab til Gud.
who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead, and gave him glory; so that your faith and hope might be in God.
22 Lutrer eders Sjæle i Lydighed imod Sandheden til uskrømtet Broderkærlighed, og elsker hverandre inderligt af Hjertet,
Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from a pure heart fervently:
23 genfødte, som I ere, ikke af forkrænkelig, men af uforkrænkelig Sæd, ved Guds levende og blivende Ord. (aiōn g165)
having been born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, through the living and abiding word of God. (aiōn g165)
24 Thi „alt Kød er som Græs, og al dets Herlighed som Græssets Blomst; Græsset visner, og Blomsten falder af;
For, "All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower in the grass. The grass withers, and its flower falls;
