2 Timoteus 4
1 Jeg besværger dig for Guds og Kristi Jesu Aasyn, som skal dømme levende og døde, og ved hans Aabenbarelse og hans Rige:
I solemnly charge yoʋ therefore in the presence of God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who will judge the living and the dead when he appears with his kingdom:
2 Prædike Ordet, vær rede i Tide og i Utide, irettesæt, straf, forman med al Langmodighed og Belæring!
Preach the word, be prepared whether the time is favorable or not, reprove, rebuke, and encourage, with complete patience and careful instruction.
3 Thi den Tid skal komme, da de ikke skulle fordrage den sunde Lære, men efter deres egne Begæringer tage sig selv Lærere i Hobetal, efter hvad der kildrer deres Øren,
For a time is coming when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but having itching ears they will surround themselves with teachers to suit their own desires.
4 og de skulle vende Ørene fra Sandheden og vende sig hen til Fablerne.
They will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to myths.
5 Du derimod, vær ædru i alle Ting, lid ondt, gør en Evangelists Gerning, fuldbyrd din Tjeneste!
But as for yoʋ, be sober-minded in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill yoʋr ministry.
6 Thi jeg ofres allerede, og Tiden til mit Opbrud er for Haanden.
For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand.
7 Jeg har stridt den gode Strid, fuldkommet Løbet og bevaret Troen.
I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.
8 I øvrigt henligger Retfærdighedens Krans til mig, hvilken Herren, den retfærdige Dommer, skal give mig paa hin Dag, og ikke alene mig, men ogsaa alle dem, som have elsket hans Aabenbarelse.
There is now laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
9 Gør dig Flid for at komme snart til mig;
Make every effort to come to me soon.
10 thi Dem as forlod mig, fordi han fik Kærlighed til den nærværende Verden, og drog til Thessalonika; Kreskens drog til Galatien, Titus til Dalmatien. (aiōn g165)
For Demas, who is in love with this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica. Crescens has gone to Galatia, and Titus to Dalmatia. (aiōn g165)
11 Lukas er alene hos mig. Tag Markus og bring ham med dig; thi han er mig nyttig til Tjenesten.
Luke alone is with me. Get Mark and bring him with yoʋ, for he is useful to me for ministry.
12 Men Tykikus har jeg sendt til Efesus.
Tychicus I have sent to Ephesus.
13 Naar du kommer, da bring min Rejsekjortel med dig, som jeg lod blive i Troas hos Karpus, og Bøgerne, især dem paa Pergament.
When yoʋ come, bring the cloak that I left with Carpus in Troas, as well as my scrolls, especially the parchments.
14 Smeden Aleksander har gjort mig meget ondt; Herren vil betale ham efter hans Gerninger.
Alexander the coppersmith did me great harm. May the Lord repay him according to his works.
15 For ham skal ogsaa du vogte dig; thi han stod vore Ord haardt imod.
Yoʋ yoʋrself should be on guard against him, for he has vehemently opposed our message.
16 Ved mit første Forsvar kom ingen mig til Hjælp, men alle lode mig i Stikken; (gid det ikke maa tilregnes dem!)
At my first defense no one came to stand by me; instead, they all deserted me. May it not be counted against them.
17 Men Herren stod hos mig og styrkede mig, for at Ordets Prædiken skulde fuldbyrdes ved mig, og alle Hedningerne høre det; og jeg blev friet fra Løvens Gab.
But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully made and all the Gentiles might hear. And I was rescued from the lion's mouth.
18 Herren vil fri mig fra al ond Gerning og frelse mig til sit himmelske Rige; ham være Æren i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And the Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and preserve me for his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
19 Hils Priska og Akvila og Onesiforus's Hus!
Greet Prisca and Aquila and the household of Onesiphorus.
20 Erastus blev i Korinth, men Trofimus efterlod jeg syg i Milet.
Erastus stayed in Corinth, and Trophimus, who was sick, I left in Miletus.
21 Gør dig Flid for at komme før Vinteren! Eubulus og Pudens og Linus og Klaudia og alle Brødrene hilse dig.
Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets yoʋ, and so do Pudens, Linus, Claudia, and all the brothers.
22 Den Herre Jesus være med din Aand! Naaden være med eder!
The Lord Jesus Christ be with yoʋr spirit. Grace be with you. Amen.
