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 apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained a like precious faith with us in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Naade og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
Grace to you and peace be multiplied in the knowledge 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,
seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own 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,
whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises; that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.
5 saa anvender just derfor al Flid paa i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in [your] virtue knowledge;
6 og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
and in [your] knowledge temperance; and in [your] temperance patience; and in [your] patience godliness;
7 og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
and in [your] godliness love of the brethren; and in [your] love of the brethren love.
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 things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto 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.
For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old 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, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never stumble:
11 Thi saa skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
for thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal 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 shall be ready always to put you in remembrance of these things, though ye know them, and are established in the truth which is with [you].
13 Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Paamindelse, saa længe jeg er i dette Telt,
And I think it right, as long as I am in this tabernacle, to stir you up by putting you in 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 the putting off of my tabernacle cometh swiftly, even as our Lord Jesus Christ signified unto me.
15 Og jeg vil ogsaa gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
Yea, I will give diligence that at every time ye may be able after my decease 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 cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses 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 honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, 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 we [ourselves] heard come out of heaven, 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,
And we have the word of prophecy [made] more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise 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 no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Ghost.
