2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Apostel, til dem, der have faaet samme dyrebare Tro som vi ved vor Guds og Frelsers Jesu Kristi Retfærdighed:
Simon Peter, slave and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained with us the same kind of faith in the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ:
2 Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
may grace and peace be multiplied to you through a real knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus,
3 Saasom hans guddommelige Magt har skænket os alt, hvad der hører til Liv og Gudfrygtighed ved Erkendelsen af ham, som kaldte os ved sin Herlighed og Kraft,
in that His divine power has granted to us all things pertaining to life and godliness, through the real knowledge of the One who called us by glory and excellence,
4 hvorved han har skænket os de største og dyrebare Forjættelser, for at I ved disse skulle faa Del i guddommelig Natur, naar I undfly Fordærvelsen i Verden, som har sin Grund i Begær,
through which He has granted to us such precious and extraordinary promises, so that through these you may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped the depravity that is in the world because of lust.
5 saa anvender just derfor al Flid paa i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
So for this very reason, making every effort, to your faith add excellence, and to the excellence knowledge,
6 og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
and to the knowledge self-control, and to the self-control perseverance, and to the perseverance godliness,
7 og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
and to the godliness brotherly affection, and to the brotherly affection love.
8 Thi naar dette findes hos eder og er i Tiltagen, lader det eder ikke staa ørkesløse eller ufrugtbare i Erkendelsen af vor Herre Jesus Kristus;
Because with these things existing and increasing in you, it makes you to be neither useless nor unfruitful in the real knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
For he who lacks these things is blind, being so myopic, having forgotten the cleansing from his past sins.
10 Derfor, Brødre! gører eder des mere Flid for at befæste eders Kaldelse og Udvælgelse; thi naar I gøre dette, skulle I ingen Sinde støde an.
Therefore, brothers, you should be all the more diligent to make your calling and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.
11 Thi saa skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
Because in this way you will be granted the abundant entrance into the unending kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Derfor vil jeg ikke forsømme altid at paaminde eder om dette, ihvorvel I vide det og ere befæstede i den Sandhed, som er til Stede hos os.
So then, I will not neglect to keep reminding you about these things, though you know and are established in the present truth.
13 Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Telt,
Yes, I think it right to stir you up by a reminder, as long as I am in this ‘tent’,
14 da jeg ved, at Aflæggelsen af mit Telt kommer brat, saaledes som jo vor Herre Jesus Kristus har givet mig til Kende.
knowing that the shedding of my ‘tent’ is imminent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.
15 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
Moreover I will take pains to provide a reminder of these things for you to have, as needed, after my exit.
16 Thi vi have ikke fulgt kløgtigt opdigtede Fabler, da vi kundgjorde eder vor Herres Jesu Kristi Kraft og Tilkommelse, men vi have været Øjenvidner til hans Majestæt,
Now then, we did not follow craftily devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; rather we were attentive eyewitnesses of His majesty
17 nemlig da han fik Ære og Herlighed af Gud Fader, idet en saadan Røst lød til ham fra den majestætiske Herlighed: „Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag.‟
—because He received from God the Father honor and glory when that Voice was directed to Him by the Magnificent Glory, “This is my Son, the beloved, in whom I am always well pleased”—
18 Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg.
yes, we heard this Voice being uttered from heaven when we were with Him on the holy mountain.
19 Og des mere stadfæstet have vi det profetiske Ord, hvilket I gøre vel i at agte paa som paa et Lys, der skinner paa et mørkt Sted, indtil Dagen bryder frem, og Morgenstjernen oprinder i eders Hjerter,
And so we have the most reliable prophetic Word, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;
20 idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror paa egen Tydning.
knowing this first, that no Prophecy of Scripture comes to be from private release;
21 Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligaand talte hellige Guds Mænd.
for no Prophecy ever came by the will of man, rather holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
