1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Haab,
Paul, apostle of Jesus Christ, according to [the] command of God our Saviour, and of Christ Jesus our hope,
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timotheus, [my] true 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
Even as I begged thee to remain in Ephesus, [when I was] going to Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin some not to teach other doctrines,
4 og ikke at agte paa Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheder end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
nor to turn their minds to fables and interminable genealogies, which bring questionings rather than [further] God's dispensation, which [is] 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 what is enjoined is love out of a pure heart and a good conscience and unfeigned faith;
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
which [things] some having missed, have turned aside to vain discourse,
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, not understanding either what they say or concerning what they [so] strenuously affirm.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
Now we know that the law [is] good if any one 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 has not its application to a righteous person, but to [the] lawless and insubordinate, to [the] impious and sinful, to [the] unholy and profane, to smiters of fathers and smiters of mothers; to murderers,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet dei er imod den sunde Lære,
fornicators, sodomites, kidnappers, liars, perjurers; and if any other thing is opposed to sound teaching,
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
according to the glad tidings of the glory of the blessed God, with which I have been 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 thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has given me power, that he has counted me faithful, appointing to ministry him
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.
who before was a blasphemer and persecutor, and an insolent overbearing [man]: but mercy was shewn me because I did it ignorantly, in unbelief.
14 Ja, vor Herres Naade viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
But the grace of our Lord surpassingly over-abounded with faith and love, which [is] 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 word, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am [the] first.
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 for this reason mercy was shewn me, that in me, [the] first, Jesus Christ might display the whole long-suffering, for a delineation of those about to believe on him to life eternal. (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, [the] incorruptible, invisible, only God, honour and glory to the ages of ages. Amen. (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 charge, [my] child Timotheus, I commit to thee, according to the prophecies as to thee preceding, in order that thou mightest war by them the good warfare,
19 idet du har Tro og en god Samvittighed, hvilken nogle have stødt fra sig og lidt Skibbrud paa Troen;
maintaining faith and a good conscience; which [last] some, having put away, have made shipwreck as to 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 is Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have delivered to Satan, that they may be taught by discipline not to blaspheme.
