2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Apostel, til dem, der have faaet samme dyrebare Tro som vi ved vor Guds og Frelsers Jesu Kristi Retfærdighed:
Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us, in the righteousness of our God, and of our saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
grace and peace be multiplied unto you, in the acknowledgement of God, and of Jesus our Lord;
3 Saasom hans guddommelige Magt har skænket os alt, hvad der hører til Liv og Gudfrygtighed ved Erkendelsen af ham, som kaldte os ved sin Herlighed og Kraft,
as his divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who hath called us by that glory and virtue,
4 hvorved han har skænket os de største og dyrebare Forjættelser, for at I ved disse skulle faa Del i guddommelig Natur, naar I undfly Fordærvelsen i Verden, som har sin Grund i Begær,
by which are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises; that by these ye may become partakers of a divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 saa anvender just derfor al Flid paa i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
And to this giving all diligence, add to your faith fortitude;
6 og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
and to fortitude knowledge; and to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience piety;
7 og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
and to piety brotherly affection; and to brotherly affection charity.
8 Thi naar dette findes hos eder og er i Tiltagen, lader det eder ikke staa ørkesløse eller ufrugtbare i Erkendelsen af vor Herre Jesus Kristus;
For if these be in you and abound, they will not suffer you to be idle, nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
But he, that hath not these, is blind, or short-sighted, having forgot his baptismal purification from his former sins.
10 Derfor, Brødre! gører eder des mere Flid for at befæste eders Kaldelse og Udvælgelse; thi naar I gøre dette, skulle I ingen Sinde støde an.
Wherefore, my brethren, be the more diligent thus to make your calling and election sure; for if ye do these things ye shall never fall.
11 Thi saa skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
For so an entrance shall be administered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (aiōnios g166)
12 Derfor vil jeg ikke forsømme altid at paaminde eder om dette, ihvorvel I vide det og ere befæstede i den Sandhed, som er til Stede hos os.
Wherefore I will not neglect to put you always in mind of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the present truth.
13 Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Telt,
And I think it my duty, while I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by way of remembrance:
14 da jeg ved, at Aflæggelsen af mit Telt kommer brat, saaledes som jo vor Herre Jesus Kristus har givet mig til Kende.
knowing that I must soon lay down this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
15 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
And I will endeavour that after my departure also ye may always be able to call these things to remembrance.
16 Thi vi have ikke fulgt kløgtigt opdigtede Fabler, da vi kundgjorde eder vor Herres Jesu Kristi Kraft og Tilkommelse, men vi have været Øjenvidner til hans Majestæt,
For we did not follow artfully devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; but were eye-witnesses of his majesty.
17 nemlig da han fik Ære og Herlighed af Gud Fader, idet en saadan Røst lød til ham fra den majestætiske Herlighed: „Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag.‟
For He received from God the Father honor and glory when a voice came to Him from the magnificent glory, saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
18 Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham paa det hellige Bjerg.
And this voice, from heaven we heard, when we were with Him in the holy mount.
19 Og des mere stadfæstet have vi det profetiske Ord, hvilket I gøre vel i at agte paa som paa et Lys, der skinner paa et mørkt Sted, indtil Dagen bryder frem, og Morgenstjernen oprinder i eders Hjerter,
We have also the more sure word of the prophets, to which ye do well to attend, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, till the day dawn, and the morning-star rise in your hearts:
20 idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror paa egen Tydning.
knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation;
21 Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligaand talte hellige Guds Mænd.
for prophecy was not delivered of old at the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the holy Spirit.
