2 Peter 2
1 Men der opstod ogsaa falske Profeter iblandt Folket, ligesom der ogsaa iblandt eder vil komme falske Lærere, som ville liste fordærvelige Vranglærdomme ind, idet de endog fornægte den Herre, som købte dem, og bringe en brat Undergang over sig selv,
Bvt there were false prophets also among the people, euen as there shalbe false teachers among you: which priuily shall bring in damnable heresies, euen denying the Lord, that hath bought them, and bring vpon themselues swift damnation.
2 og mange ville efterfølge deres Uterligheder, saa Sandhedens Vej for deres Skyld vil blive bespottet,
And many shall follow their destructions, by whom the way of trueth shalbe euil spoken of,
3 og i Havesyge ville de med falske Ord skaffe sig Vinding af eder; men Dommen over dem har alt fra gamle Dage været i Virksomhed, og deres Undergang slumrer ikke.
And through couetousnes shall they with fained words make marchandise of you, whose condemnation long since resteth not, and their destruction slumbreth not.
4 Thi naar Gud ikke sparede Engle, da de syndede, men nedstyrtede dem i Afgrunden og overgav dem til Mørkets Huler for at bevogtes til Dom, (Tartaroō g5020)
For if God spared not the Angels that had sinned, but cast them downe into hell, and deliuered them into chaines of darkenes, to be kept vnto damnation: (Tartaroō g5020)
5 og ikke sparede den gamle Verden, men bevarede Retfærdighedens Prædiker Noa selv ottende, da han førte Oversvømmelse over en Verden af ugudelige
Neither hath spared the olde worlde, but saued Noe the eight person a preacher of righteousnesse, and brought in the flood vpon the world of the vngodly,
6 og lagde Sodomas og Gomorras Stæder i Aske og domfældte dem til Ødelæggelse, saa han har sat dem til Forbillede for dem, som i Fremtiden vilde leve ugudeligt,
And turned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrhe into ashes, condemned them and ouerthrewe them, and made them an ensample vnto them that after should liue vngodly,
7 og udfriede den retfærdige Lot, som plagedes af de ryggesløses uterlige Vandel,
And deliuered iust Loth vexed with the vncleanly conuersation of the wicked:
8 (thi medens den retfærdige boede iblandt dem, pintes han Dag for Dag i sin retfærdige Sjæl ved de lovløse Gerninger, som han saa og hørte):
(For he being righteous, and dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soule from day to day with their vnlawfull deedes.)
9 — Da ved Herren at udfri gudfrygtige af Fristelse, men at straffe og bevogte uretfærdige til Dommens Dag,
The Lord knoweth to deliuer the godly out of tentation, and to reserue the vniust vnto the day of iudgement vnder punishment.
10 og mest dem, som vandre efter Kød, i Begær efter Besmittelse, og foragte Herskab. Frække, selvbehagelige, bæve de ikke ved at bespotte Herligheder,
And chiefly them that walke after the flesh, in the lust of vncleannesse, and despise gouernement, which are bolde, and stand in their owne conceite, and feare not to speake euill of them that are in dignitie.
11 hvor dog Engle, som ere større i Styrke og Magt, ikke fremføre bespottende Dom imod dem for Herren.
Where as the Angels which are greater both in power and might, giue not railing iudgement against them before the Lord.
12 Men disse — ligesom ufornuftige Dyr, der af Natur ere fødte til at fanges og ødelægges, skulle de, fordi de bespotte, hvad de ikke kende, ogsaa ødelægges med hines Ødelæggelse,
But these, as naturall brute beasts, led with sensualitie and made to be taken, and destroyed, speake euill of those things which they know not, and shall perish through their owne corruption,
13 idet de faa Uretfærdigheds Løn. De sætte deres Lyst i Vellevned om Dagen, disse Skampletter og Skændselsmennesker! De svælge i deres Bedragerier, medens de holde Gilde med eder;
And shall receiue the wages of vnrighteousnes, as they which count it pleasure dayly to liue deliciously. Spottes they are and blottes, deliting them selues in their deceiuings, in feasting with you,
14 deres Øjne ere fulde af Horeri og kunne ikke faa nok af Synd; de lokke ubefæstede Sjæle; de have et Hjerte, øvet i Havesyge, Forbandelsens Børn;
Hauing eyes full of adulterie, and that can not cease to sinne, beguiling vnstable soules: they haue heartes exercised with couetousnesse, they are the children of curse:
15 de have forladt den lige Vej og ere farne vild, følgende Bileams, Beors Søns, Vej, han, som elskede Uretfærdigheds Løn,
Which forsaking the right way, haue gone astray, folowing the way of Balaam, the sonne of Bosor, which loued the wages of vnrighteousnes.
16 men fik Revselse for sin Overtrædelse: Et umælende Trældyr talte med menneskelig Røst og hindrede Profetens Afsind.
But he was rebuked for his iniquitie: for the dumme beast speaking with mans voyce, forbade the foolishnesse of the Prophet.
17 Disse ere vandløse Kilder og Taageskyer, som drives af Stormvind; for dem er Mørke og Mulm bevaret.
These are welles without water, and cloudes caried about with a tempest, to whome the blacke darkenes is reserued for euer. (questioned)
18 Thi dem, som ere lige ved at undslippe fra dem, der vandre i Vildfarelse, lokke de i Kødets Begæringer ved Uterligheder, idet de tale Tomheds overmodige Ord
For in speaking swelling wordes of vanitie, they beguile with wantonnesse through the lusts of the flesh them that were cleane escaped from them which are wrapped in errour,
19 og love dem Frihed, skønt de selv ere Fordærvelsens Trælle; thi man er Træl af det, som man er overvunden af.
Promising vnto them libertie, and are themselues the seruants of corruption: for of whomsoeuer a man is ouercome, euen vnto the same is he in bondage.
20 Thi dersom de, efter at have undflyet Verdens Besmittelser ved Erkendelse af vor Herre og Frelser Jesus Kristus, igen lade sig indvikle deri og overvindes, da er det sidste blevet værre med dem end det første.
For if they, after they haue escaped from the filthinesse of the world, through the acknowledging of the Lord, and of the Sauiour Iesus Christ, are yet tangled againe therein, and ouercome, the latter ende is worse with them then the beginning.
21 Thi bedre havde det været dem ikke at have erkendt Retfærdighedens Vej end efter at have erkendt den at vende sig bort fra det hellige Bud, som var blevet dem overgivet.
For it had bene better for them, not to haue acknowledged the way of righteousnes, then after they haue acknowledged it, to turne from the holy commandement giuen vnto them.
22 Det er gaaet dem efter det sande Ordsprog: „Hunden vender sig om til sit eget Spy, og den toede So til at vælte sig i Sølen.‟
But it is come vnto them, according to the true Prouerbe, The dogge is returned to his owne vomit: and, The sowe that was washed, to the wallowing in the myre.
