2 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel ved Guds Villie, for at bringe Forjættelse om Livet i Kristus Jesus
Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, according to 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, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and 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 thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night and day
4 da jeg i Mindet om dine Taarer længes efter at se dig, for at jeg maa fyldes med Glæde,
longing to see you, remembering your tears, that I may 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.
having been reminded of the sincere faith that is in you, which lived first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, in you also.
6 Derfor paaminder jeg dig, at du opflammer den Guds Naadegave, som er i dig ved mine Hænders Paalæggelse.
For this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 Thi Gud har ikke givet os Fejgheds Aand, men Krafts og Kærligheds og Sindigheds Aand.
For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
8 Derfor, skam dig ikke ved Vidnesbyrdet om vor Herre eller ved mig, hans Fange, men lid ondt med Evangeliet ved Guds Kraft,
Therefore don’t be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner; but endure hardship for the Good News according to the power 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 saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, (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,
but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Saviour, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.
11 for hvilket jeg er bleven sat til Prædiker og Apostel og Hedningers Lærer,
For this I was appointed as a preacher, 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 cause I also suffer these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13 Hav et Forbillede i de sunde Ord, som du har hørt af mig, i Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
Hold the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
14 Vogt paa den skønne betroede Skat ved den Helligaand, som bor i os.
That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.
15 Du ved dette, at alle de i Asien have vendt sig fra mig, iblandt hvilke ere Fygelus og Hermogenes.
This you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me, of whom are Phygelus 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 grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 men da han kom til Rom, søgte han ivrigt efter mig og fandt mig.
but when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently 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.
(the Lord grant to him to find the Lord’s mercy in that day); and in how many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
