2 Tessalonikerne 1

1 Paulus og Silvanus og Timotheus til Thessalonikernes Menighed i Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus:

Paul, and Silvanus, and Timothy, to the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

2 Naade være med eder og Fred fra Gud vor Fader og den Herre Jesus Kristus!

Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3 Vi ere skyldige altid at takke Gud for eder, Brødre! som tilbørligt er, fordi eders Tro vokser overmaade, og den indbyrdes Kærlighed forøges hos hver enkelt af eder alle,

We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because your faith groweth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you all towards each other aboundeth;

4 saa at vi selv rose os af eder i Guds Menigheder for eders Udholdenhed og Tro under alle eders Forfølgelser og de Trængsler, som I udstaa,

So that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God, for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

5 et Bevis paa Guds retfærdige Dom, for at I kunne agtes værdige til Guds Rige, for hvilket I ogsaa lide;

[Which is] a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer:

6 hvis ellers det er retfærdigt for Gud at give dem Trængsel til Gengæld, som trænge eder,

Seeing [it is] a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;

7 og eder, som trænges, Hvile med os ved den Herres Jesu Aabenbarelse fra Himmelen med sin Krafts Engle,

And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 med Lueild, naar han tager Hævn over dem, som ikke kende Gud, og over dem, som ikke lyde vor Herres Jesu Evangelium,

In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 de, som jo skulle lide Straf, evig Undergang bort fra Herrens Ansigt og fra hans Vældes Herlighed, (aiōnios g166)

Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power; (aiōnios g166)

10 naar han kommer for paa hin Dag at herliggøres i sine hellige og beundres i alle dem, som have troet; thi troet blev vort Vidnesbyrd til eder.

When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired by all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.

11 Derfor bede vi ogsaa altid for eder, at vor Gud vil agte eder Kaldelsen værdige og med Kraft fuldkomme al Lyst til det gode og Troens Gerning,

Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of [this] calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of [his] goodness, and the work of faith with power:

12 for at vor Herres Jesu Navn maa herliggøres i eder, og I i ham, efter vor Guds og den Herres Jesu Kristi Naade.

That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God, and of the Lord Jesus Christ.
