2 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel ved Guds Villie, for at bringe Forjættelse om Livet i Kristus Jesus
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life that is in Christ Jesus,
2 — til Timotheus, sit elskede Barn: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus, vor Herre!
to dear son Timothy: Grace, mercy, peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Jeg takker Gud, hvem jeg fra mine Forfædre af har tjent i en ren Samvittighed, ligesom jeg uafladelig har dig i Erindring i mine Bønner Nat og Dag,
I give thanks to God, whom I serve with a clear conscience like my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers, night and day,
4 da jeg i Mindet om dine Taarer længes efter at se dig, for at jeg maa fyldes med Glæde,
longing to see you (recalling your tears), that I may be filled with joy;
5 idet jeg er bleven mindet om den uskrømtede Tro, som er i dig, den, som boede først i din Mormoder Lois og din Moder Eunike, og jeg er vis paa, at den ogsaa bor i dig.
while I call to mind the unfeigned faith that is in you—it resided first in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig ved mine Hænders Paalæggelse.
For this reason I am reminding you to rekindle the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Thi Gud har ikke givet os Fejgheds Aand, men Krafts og Kærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.
Because God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of self-control.
8 Derfor, skam dig ikke ved Vidnesbyrdet om vor Herre eller ved mig, hans Fange, men lid ondt med Evangeliet ved Guds Kraft,
So do not be ashamed to identify with our Lord or with me His prisoner, but join in suffering for the Gospel according to the power of God
9 han, som frelste os og kaldte os med en hellig Kaldelse, ikke efter vore Gerninger, men efter sit eget Forsæt og Naaden, som blev given os i Kristus Jesus fra evige Tider, (aiōnios g166)
—the One who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began, (aiōnios g166)
10 men nu er kommen for Dagen ved vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse, han, som tilintetgjorde Døden, men bragte Liv og Uforkrænkelighed for Lyset ved Evangeliet,
but has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who by means of the Gospel destroyed the death and brought life and immortality to light;
11 for hvilket jeg er bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel og Hedningers Lærer,
to this Gospel I was appointed as a proclaimer, an apostle and a teacher of nations.
12 hvorfor jeg ogsaa lider dette, men jeg skammer mig ikke derved; thi jeg ved, til hvem jeg har sat min Tro, og jeg er vis paa, at han er mægtig til at vogte paa den mig betroede Skat til hin Dag.
That is why I am suffering these things, yet I am not ashamed because I know in whom I have believed and am certain that He is able to guard my deposit until that Day.
13 Hav et Forbillede i de sunde Ord, som du har hørt af mig, i Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
Hold fast the standard of sound teaching that you heard from me, through the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
14 Vogt paa den skønne betroede Skat ved den Helligaand, som bor i os.
Guard the good deposit by the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Du ved dette, at alle de i Asien have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Fygelus og Hermogenes.
This you know, that all those in Asia have been turned away from me, including Phygellus and Hermogenes.
16 Herren vise Onesiforus's Hus Barmhjertighed; thi han har ofte vederkvæget mig og skammede sig ikke ved min Lænke,
May the Lord grant mercy to the household of Onesiphorus, because he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chain;
17 men da han kom til Rom, søgte han ivrigt efter mig og fandt mig.
rather, when he arrived in Rome he searched diligently for me until he found me
18 Herren give ham at finde Barmhjertighed fra Herren paa hin Dag! Og hvor megen Tjeneste han har gjort i Efesus, ved du bedst.
(may the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord in that Day); you also know very well in how many ways he served in Ephesus.
