1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Haab,
Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the appointment of God our Saviour, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timothy my true son in the faith, be grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Det var derfor, jeg opfordrede dig til at blive i Efesus, da jeg drog til Makedonien, for at du skulde paabyde visse Folk ikke at føre fremmed Lære
As I exhorted thee to stay at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge certain persons not to teach other doctrine,
4 og ikke at agte paa Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheder end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
nor attend to fables and endless genealogies, which occasion debates, rather than pious edification in the faith:
5 Men Paabudets Endemaal er Kærlighed af et rent Hjerte og af en god Samvittighed og af en uskrømtet Tro,
so do, and acquaint them that the end of that charge is charity, out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and faith unfeigned:
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
from which some having swerved are turned aside to vain discourses;
7 idet de ville være Lovlærere uden at forstaa, hverken hvad de sige, eller hvorom de udtale sig saa sikkert.
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they neither understand what they say, nor what things they assert.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
9 idet man ved dette, at Loven ikke er sat for den retfærdige, men for lovløse og ulydige, ugudelige og Syndere, ryggesløse og vanhellige, for dem, som øve Vold imod deres Fader og Moder, for Manddrabere,
knowing this, that a law does not lie against a righteous person, but against the lawless and unruly, the impious and wicked, the unholy and profane,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet dei er imod den sunde Lære,
parricides, murderers, whoremongers, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, false-swearers, and if there be any thing else contrary to that sound doctrine,
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
which is according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I was intrusted.
12 Jeg takker ham, som gjorde mig stærk, Kristus Jesus, vor Herre, fordi han agtede mig for tro, idet han satte mig til en Tjeneste,
And I give thanks to Christ Jesus our Lord, who gave me ability for the work, that He accounted me faithful, having put me into the ministry,
13 skønt jeg forhen var en Bespotter og en Forfølger og en Voldsmand; men der blev vist mig Barmhjertighed, thi jeg gjorde det uvitterligt i Vantro.
who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and an oppressor. But I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief: and the grace of our Lord superabounded,
14 Ja, vor Herres Naade viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
15 Den Tale er troværdig og al Modtagelse værd, at Kristus Jesus kom til Verden for at frelse Syndere, iblandt hvilke jeg er den største.
It is a truth highly to be believed, and worthy to be received by all, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners: ---of whom I am one of the chief.
16 Men derfor blev der vist mig Barmhjertighed, for at Jesus Kristus kunde paa mig som den første vise hele sin Langmodighed, til et Forbillede paa dem, som skulle tro paa ham til evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
But for this end I obtained mercy, that in me a chief sinner Jesus Christ might display his long-suffering, for an example to those who should afterwards believe on Him to eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Men Evighedens Konge, den uforkrænkelige, usynlige, eneste Gud være Pris og Ære i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Dette Paabud betror jeg dig, mit Barn Timotheus, ifølge de Profetier, som tilforn ere udtalte over dig, at du efter dem strider den gode Strid,
This charge I commit to thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which before came on thee, that by them thou mightest war a good warfare,
19 idet du har Tro og en god Samvittighed, hvilken nogle have stødt fra sig og lidt Skibbrud paa Troen;
having faith and a good conscience, which some putting away have made shipwreck concerning the faith:
20 iblandt dem ere Hymenæus og Aleksander, hvilke jeg har overgivet til Satan, for at de skulle tugtes til ikke at bespotte.
of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to blaspheme.
