2 Tessalonikerne 1

1 Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus:

Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah:

2 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.

3 Vi ere skyldige altid at takke Gud for eder, Brødre! som tilbørligt er, fordi eders Tro vokser overmaade, og den indbyrdes Kærlighed forøges hos hver enkelt af eder alle,

We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you towards one another abounds,

4 saa at vi selv rose os af eder i Guds Menigheder for eders Udholdenhed og Tro under alle eders Forfølgelser og de Trængsler, som I udstaa,

so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

5 et Bevis paa Guds retfærdige Dom, for at I kunne agtes værdige til Guds Rige, for hvilket I ogsaa lide;

This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgement of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

6 hvis ellers det er retfærdigt for Gud at give dem Trængsel til Gengæld, som trænge eder,

For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

7 og eder, som trænges, Hvile med os ved den Herres Jesu Aabenbarelse fra Himmelen med sin Krafts Engle,

and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Yeshua is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

8 med Lueild, naar han tager Hævn over dem, som ikke kende Gud, og over dem, som ikke lyde vor Herres Jesu Evangelium,

punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Yeshua,

9 de, som jo skulle lide Straf, evig Undergang bort fra Herrens Ansigt og fra hans Vældes Herlighed, (aiōnios g166)

who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might, (aiōnios g166)

10 naar han kommer for paa hin Dag at herliggøres i sine hellige og beundres i alle dem, som have troet; thi troet blev vort Vidnesbyrd til eder.

when he comes in that day to be glorified in his holy ones and to be admired amongst all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

11 Derfor bede vi ogsaa altid for eder, at vor Gud vil agte eder Kaldelsen værdige og med Kraft fuldkomme al Lyst til det gode og Troens Gerning,

To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

12 for at vor Herres Jesu Navn maa herliggøres i eder, og I i ham, efter vor Guds og den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade.

that the name of our Lord Yeshua may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
