1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Haab,
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ according to a commandment of God our Savior, and the Lord Jesus Christ our hope,
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timothy, a genuine child in faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God our Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Det var derfor, jeg opfordrede dig til at blive i Efesus, da jeg drog til Makedonien, for at du skulde paabyde visse Folk ikke at føre fremmed Lære
As I urged thee, while going to Macedonia, remain in Ephesus, so that thou might command certain men not to teach something different,
4 og ikke at agte paa Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheder end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
nor to heed myths and endless genealogies, which cause controversies rather than stewardship of God in faith.
5 Men Paabudets Endemaal er Kærlighed af et rent Hjerte og af en god Samvittighed og af en uskrømtet Tro,
But the end of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and a good conscience, and non-hypocritical faith.
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
From which some having swerved have turned aside to empty talk,
7 idet de ville være Lovlærere uden at forstaa, hverken hvad de sige, eller hvorom de udtale sig saa sikkert.
desiring to be law teachers, understanding neither what they say, nor about what they confidently assert.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
But we know that the law is good, if any man uses it lawfully,
9 idet man ved dette, at Loven ikke er sat for den retfærdige, men for lovløse og ulydige, ugudelige og Syndere, ryggesløse og vanhellige, for dem, som øve Vold imod deres Fader og Moder, for Manddrabere,
knowing this, that law is not laid down for righteous men, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the irreverent and sinful, for the impious and profane, for father killers and mother killers, for man killers,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet dei er imod den sunde Lære,
for fornicators, for homosexuals, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
according to the good news of the glory of the blessed God, of which I was entrusted.
12 Jeg takker ham, som gjorde mig stærk, Kristus Jesus, vor Herre, fordi han agtede mig for tro, idet han satte mig til en Tjeneste,
And I have gratitude to the Christ-Jesus our Lord-who empowered me, because he considered me faithful, having placed in service
13 skønt jeg forhen var en Bespotter og en Forfølger og en Voldsmand; men der blev vist mig Barmhjertighed, thi jeg gjorde det uvitterligt i Vantro.
the man who was formerly blasphemous, and a persecutor, and an aggressor. But I obtained mercy because I did it being ignorant in unbelief.
14 Ja, vor Herres Naade viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
And the grace of our Lord was filled to overflowing with the faith and love in Christ Jesus.
15 Den Tale er troværdig og al Modtagelse værd, at Kristus Jesus kom til Verden for at frelse Syndere, iblandt hvilke jeg er den største.
Faithful is the saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinful men, of whom I am foremost.
16 Men derfor blev der vist mig Barmhjertighed, for at Jesus Kristus kunde paa mig som den første vise hele sin Langmodighed, til et Forbillede paa dem, som skulle tro paa ham til evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
But because of this I obtained mercy, so that in me, the foremost, Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Men Evighedens Konge, den uforkrænkelige, usynlige, eneste Gud være Pris og Ære i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, alone wise, to God is honor and glory into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
18 Dette Paabud betror jeg dig, mit Barn Timotheus, ifølge de Profetier, som tilforn ere udtalte over dig, at du efter dem strider den gode Strid,
This command I set before thee, child Timothy, according to the prophecies leading the way for thee, so that by them thou might war the good warfare.
19 idet du har Tro og en god Samvittighed, hvilken nogle have stødt fra sig og lidt Skibbrud paa Troen;
Holding faith and a good conscience, which some, having put away, made shipwreck about the faith,
20 iblandt dem ere Hymenæus og Aleksander, hvilke jeg har overgivet til Satan, for at de skulle tugtes til ikke at bespotte.
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan, so that they may be disciplined not to blaspheme.
