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 through the will of God, according to the commandment of life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 — til Timotheus, sit elskede Barn: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus, vor Herre!
to Timothy, my beloved child. Grace, mercy, peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ 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 from my ancestors with a clean conscience, as I have incessant mention of 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, remembering your tears, in order 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.
having received the remembrance of the unhypocritical faith which is in you; which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice; and, I am persuaded that it is in you also.
6 Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig ved mine Hænders Paalæggelse.
On account of which cause I remind you to revive and refire the gift of God which is in you by the laying on of my hands.
7 Thi Gud har ikke givet os Fejgheds Aand, men Krafts og Kærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.
For God has not given us the spirit of cowardice; but of power and divine love and prudence.
8 Derfor, skam dig ikke ved Vidnesbyrdet om vor Herre eller ved mig, hans Fange, men lid ondt med Evangeliet ved Guds Kraft,
Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor me his prisoner: but suffer affliction for the sake of 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 having saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the eternal times, (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 now having been made manifest through the appearing of Jesus Christ our Saviour, the one having indeed destroyed death, and lighted up life and immortality through the gospel,
11 for hvilket jeg er bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel og Hedningers Lærer,
unto which I have been placed a herald, and an apostle, and teacher:
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.
on account of which cause I indeed suffer these things: but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to stand guard over that which is committed unto me unto 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 form of sound words which you heard with me, in the faith and divine love which is in Christ Jesus:
14 Vogt paa den skønne betroede Skat ved den Helligaand, som bor i os.
stand guard over the beautiful deposit through the Holy Ghost who dwells in us.
15 Du ved dette, at alle de i Asien have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Fygelus og Hermogenes.
You know this, that all who are in Asia, of whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes have turned away from me.
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 family of Onesiphorus, because frequently he refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 men da han kom til Rom, søgte han ivrigt efter mig og fandt mig.
and, being in Rome, he diligently sought me, and 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 unto him to find mercy with the Lord in that day. And so many things as he ministered in Ephesus, you know better.
