1 Johannes 2
1 Mine Børn! dette skriver jeg til eder, for at I ikke skulle synde. Og dersom nogen synder, have vi en Talsmand hos Faderen, Jesus Kristus, den retfærdige,
My children, I am writing this to you that you may not continue to sin; but if any one sin, we ever have a Comforter before the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.
2 og han er en Forsoning for vore Synder, dog ikke alene for vore, men også for hele Verdens.
And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world.
3 Og derpå kende vi, at vi have kendt ham, om vi holde hans Bud.
This is how we may know that we have come to know Him, by always keeping his commandments.
4 Den, som siger: "Jeg kender ham," og ikke holder hans Bud. han er en Løgner, og i ham er Sandheden ikke;
He who says, "I know Him," but does no continue obeying his commandments, is a liar,
5 men den, som holder hans Ord, i ham er sandelig Guds Kærlighed fuldkommet. Derpå kende vi, at vi ere i ham.
and the truth is not in him; bit if any man obey his word, in him truly is the love of God made perfect. By this we come to know that we are in him.
6 Den, som siger, at han bliver i ham, han er også skyldig selv at vandre således, som han vandrede.
By who says he "remains in him" ought to spend his life as he spent his.
7 I elskede, jeg skriver til eder ikke et nyt Bud, men et gammelt Bud, som I have haft fra Begyndelsen. Det gamle Bud er det Ord, som I have hørt.
Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, nay, and old commandment, which you have had from the beginning. That old commandment is the message to which you have listened.
8 Og dog skriver jeg til eder et nyt Bud, hvilket er sandt i ham og i eder, thi Mørket drager bort, og det sande Lys skinner allerede.
Yet again it is a new commandment which I am writing to you, which is true in him and is you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
9 Den, som siger, at han er i Lyset, og hader sin Broder, han er i Mørket endnu.
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 Den, som elsker sin Broder, bliver i Lyset, og der er ingen Forargelse i ham.
But he who loves his brother is abiding in the light, and in it there is no cause of stumbling.
11 Men den, som hader sin Broder, er i Mørket og vandrer i Mørket, og han ved ikke, hvor han går hen, fordi Mørket har blindet hans Øjne.
But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and is spending his life in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
12 Jeg skriver til eder, mine Børn! fordi eders Synder ere eder forladte for hans Navns Skyld.
I am writing to you, little children, because you sins are forgiven you for his name’s sake.
13 Jeg skriver til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg skriver til eder, I unge! fordi I have overvundet den onde. Jeg har skrevet til eder, mine Børn! fordi I kende Faderen.
I am writing to you, fathers, because you have come to know him who is from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have fully overcome the Evil One. I have written to you, little children, because you have learned to know the father.
14 Jeg har skrevet til eder, I Fædre! fordi I kende ham, som er fra Begyndelsen. Jeg har skrevet til eder, I unge! fordi I ere stærke, og Guds Ord bliver i eder, og I have overvundet den onde.
I have written to you, fathers, because you have learned to know him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is abiding in you, and you have fully overcome the Evil One.
15 Elsker ikke Verden, ikke heller de Ting, som ere i Verden! Dersom nogen elsker Verden, er Faderens Kærlighed ikke i ham.
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 Thi alt det, som er i Verden, Kødets Lyst og Øjnenes Lyst og Livets Hoffærdighed, er ikke af Faderen, men af Verden.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the proud glory of life, is not from the Father, but from the world;
and the world and its lusts are passing away, but he who ever does the will of God abides forever. (aiōn g165)
18 Mine Børn! det er den sidste Time, og som I have hørt, at Antikrist kommer, således ere nu mange Antikrister fremtrådte; deraf kende vi, at det er den sidste Time.
My children, this is the last hour, and as you have heard that an antichrist was coming, and now many antichrists are already risen, whence we may know that it is the last hour.
19 De ere udgåede fra os, men de vare ikke af os; thi dersom de havde været af os, da vare de blevne hos os. Dog, det var, for at det skulde blive åbenbart, at de ikke alle ere af os.
They came forth from us, but they did not belong to us. If they had belonged to us they would certainly have remained with us, but they went out that they might be manifest that they all are not of us.
20 Og I have Salvelse fra den hellige og vide alt.
Now you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
21 Jeg har ikke skrevet til eder, fordi I ikke vide Sandheden; men fordi I vide den og vide, at ingen Løgn er af Sandheden.
I am not writing to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it, and know that no lie is of the truth.
22 Hvem er Løgneren uden den, som nægter, at Jesus er Kristus? Denne er Antikristen, som fornægter Faderen og Sønnen.
Who is the liar if not the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, even he who disowns the Father and the Son.
23 Hver den, som fornægter Sønnen, har ej heller Faderen; den, som bekender Sønnen, har også Faderen.
Whoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father; but he who confesses the Son has the Father also. As for you, let what you have heard from the beginning abide in you.
24 Hvad I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, det blive i eder! Dersom det, som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, bliver i eder, skulle også I blive i Sønnen og i Faderen.
If what you have heard from the beginning is abiding in you, you also will ever abide in the Son and in the Father.
And this is the promise which he has promised to us even life eternal. (aiōnios g166)
26 Dette har jeg skrevet til eder om dem, som forføre eder.
I have written this to you concerning those who would lead you astray.
27 Og den Salvelse, som I fik af ham, bliver i eder, og I have ikke nødig, at nogen skal lære eder; men således som hans Salvelse lærer eder alt, er det også sandt og er ikke Løgn, og som den har lært eder, skulle I blive i ham.
As to you, the unction you received from him remains ever in you, and you need no teaching from any one. But since his unction teaches you concerning all things and is true, and is no lie, abide continually in him, as it has taught you to do.
28 Og nu mine Børn! bliver i ham, for at vi, når han åbenbares, kunne have Frimodighed og ikke skulle blive til Skamme for ham ved hans Tilkommelse.
And now continue to abide in him, my children, so that when he shall appear we may have cheerful confidence and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
29 Dersom I vide, at han er retfærdig, da erkender, at hver den, som gør Retfærdighed, er født af ham.
If you know that he is righteous you know also that every one who habitually practises righteousness has been born of him.
