1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Haab,
PAUL, a legate of Jesus the Messiah, by the command of God our life-giver, and of the Messiah, Jesus our hope;
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timothy, my true son in the faith: grace and mercy and peace, from God our Father, and the Messiah, 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
When I was going into Macedonia, I requested thee to remain at Ephesus, and to charge certain persons not to teach different doctrines;
4 og ikke at agte paa Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheder end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
and not to throw themselves into fables and stories about genealogies, of which there is no end, which produce contention rather than edification in the faith of God.
5 Men Paabudets Endemaal er Kærlighed af et rent Hjerte og af en god Samvittighed og af en uskrømtet Tro,
Now the end of the command is love, which is from a pure heart, and from a good conscience, and from true faith.
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
But from these some have strayed, and have turned aside to vain words;
7 idet de ville være Lovlærere uden at forstaa, hverken hvad de sige, eller hvorom de udtale sig saa sikkert.
because they wished to be teachers of the law, while they understood not what they speak, nor the thing about which they contend.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
Now, we know, that the law is a good thing, if a man conduct himself in it, according to the law,
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,
he knowing that the law was not established for the righteous, but for the evil, and the rebellious, and the ungodly, and the sinful, and the perverse and for the impure, and for smiters of their fathers and smiters of their mothers, and for murderers,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet dei er imod den sunde Lære,
and for whoremongers, and for copulators with males, and for the stealers of free people, and for liars, and for violators of oaths, and for whatever is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
namely that of the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I am intrusted.
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 him who strengthened me, even our Lord Jesus the Messiah; who accounted me faithful, and appointed me to his ministry;
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.
me I say, who before was a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and a reviler; but I obtained mercy, because I did it while ignorant and without faith.
14 Ja, vor Herres Naade viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
And in me the grace of our Lord abounded, and faith and love, which is in Jesus the Messiah.
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 declaration, and worthy to be received, that Jesus the Messiah came into the world to give life to sinners, of whom I was the primary.
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 cause had he mercy on me, that in me first Jesus the Messiah might display all his long suffering, for an example to them who were to believe on him unto life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
17 Men Evighedens Konge, den uforkrænkelige, usynlige, eneste Gud være Pris og Ære i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
And to the king eternal, incorruptible, and invisible, the sole God, be honor and glory for ever and ever! 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 injunction I commit to thee, my son Timothy, according to the former predictions concerning thee, that in them thou mightest war this good warfare,
19 idet du har Tro og en god Samvittighed, hvilken nogle have stødt fra sig og lidt Skibbrud paa Troen;
in faith and a good conscience; for they who have repudiated this, have become destitute of faith;
20 iblandt dem ere Hymenæus og Aleksander, hvilke jeg har overgivet til Satan, for at de skulle tugtes til ikke at bespotte.
like Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered up to Satan, that they may learn not to be blasphemers.
