Paul, an Apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, in accord with the promise of the life which is in Christ Jesus,
2 — til Timotheus, sit elskede Barn: Naade, Barmhjertighed og Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus, vor Herre!
to Timothy, most beloved son. Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and from Christ Jesus our Lord.
3 Jeg takker Gud, hvem jeg fra mine Forfædre af har tjent i en ren Samvittighed, ligesom jeg uafladelig har dig i Erindring i mine Bønner Nat og Dag,
I give thanks to God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. For without ceasing I hold the remembrance of you in my prayers, night and day,
4 da jeg i Mindet om dine Taarer længes efter at se dig, for at jeg maa fyldes med Glæde,
desiring to see you, recalling your tears so as to be filled with joy,
5 idet jeg er bleven mindet om den uskrømtede Tro, som er i dig, den, som boede først i din Mormoder Lois og din Moder Eunike, og jeg er vis paa, at den ogsaa bor i dig.
calling to mind the same faith, which is in you unfeigned, which also first dwelt in your grandmother, Lois, and in your mother, Eunice, and also, I am certain, in you.
6 Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig ved mine Hænders Paalæggelse.
Because of this, I admonish you to revive the grace of God, which is in you by the imposition of my hands.
7 Thi Gud har ikke givet os Fejgheds Aand, men Krafts og Kærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of virtue, and of love, and of self-restraint.
8 Derfor, skam dig ikke ved Vidnesbyrdet om vor Herre eller ved mig, hans Fange, men lid ondt med Evangeliet ved Guds Kraft,
And so, do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his prisoner. Instead, collaborate with the Gospel in accord with the virtue of God,
9 han, som frelste os og kaldte os med en hellig Kaldelse, ikke efter vore Gerninger, men efter sit eget Forsæt og Naaden, som blev given os i Kristus Jesus fra evige Tider, (aiōnios g166)
who has freed us and has called us to his holy vocation, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus, before the ages of time. (aiōnios g166)
10 men nu er kommen for Dagen ved vor Frelsers Jesu Kristi Aabenbarelse, han, som tilintetgjorde Døden, men bragte Liv og Uforkrænkelighed for Lyset ved Evangeliet,
And this has now been made manifest by the illumination of our Savior Jesus Christ, who certainly has destroyed death, and who has also illuminated life and incorruption through the Gospel.
11 for hvilket jeg er bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel og Hedningers Lærer,
Of this Gospel, I have been appointed a preacher, and an Apostle, and a teacher of the Gentiles.
12 hvorfor jeg ogsaa lider dette, men jeg skammer mig ikke derved; thi jeg ved, til hvem jeg har sat min Tro, og jeg er vis paa, at han er mægtig til at vogte paa den mig betroede Skat til hin Dag.
For this reason, I also suffer these things. But I am not confounded. For I know in whom I have believed, and I am certain that he has the power to preserve what was entrusted to me, unto that day.
13 Hav et Forbillede i de sunde Ord, som du har hørt af mig, i Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
Hold to the kind of sound words that you have heard from me in the faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Vogt paa den skønne betroede Skat ved den Helligaand, som bor i os.
Guard the good entrusted to you through the Holy Spirit, who lives within us.
15 Du ved dette, at alle de i Asien have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Fygelus og Hermogenes.
Know this: that all those who are in Asia have turned away from me, among whom are Phigellus and Hermogenes.
16 Herren vise Onesiforus's Hus Barmhjertighed; thi han har ofte vederkvæget mig og skammede sig ikke ved min Lænke,
May the Lord have mercy on the house of Onesiphorus, because he has often refreshed me, and he has not been ashamed of my chains.
17 men da han kom til Rom, søgte han ivrigt efter mig og fandt mig.
Instead, when he had arrived in Rome, he anxiously sought me and found me.
18 Herren give ham at finde Barmhjertighed fra Herren paa hin Dag! Og hvor megen Tjeneste han har gjort i Efesus, ved du bedst.
May the Lord grant to him to obtain mercy from the Lord in that day. And you know well in how many ways he has ministered to me at Ephesus.
