1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Håb,
Paul, an emissary of Yeshua the Messiah according to the commandment of God our Saviour and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah our hope,
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Nåde, Barmhjertig Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timothy, my true child in faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Messiah Yeshua our Lord.
3 Det var derfor, jeg opfordrede dig til at blive i Efesus, da jeg drog til Makedonien, for at du skulde påbyde visse Folk ikke at føre fremmed Lære
As I urged you when I was going into Macedonia, stay at Ephesus that you might command certain men not to teach a different doctrine,
4 og ikke at agte på Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheden end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
and not to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than God’s stewardship, which is in faith.
5 Men Påbudets Endemål er Kærlighed af et rent Hjerte og af en god Samvittighed og af en uskrømtet Tro,
But the goal of this command is love from a pure heart, a good conscience, and sincere faith,
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
from which things some, having missed the mark, have turned away to vain talking,
7 idet de ville være Lovlærere uden at forstå, hverken hvad de sige, eller hvorom de udtale sig så sikkert.
desiring to be teachers of the law, though they understand neither what they say nor about what they strongly affirm.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
But we know that the law is good if a person uses it lawfully,
9 idet man veed dette, at Loven ikke er sat for den retfærdige, men for lovløse og ulydige, ugudelige og Syndere, ryggesløse og vanhellige, for dem, som øve Vold imod deres Fader og Moder, for Manddrabere,
as knowing this, that law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet der er imod den sunde Lære,
for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave-traders, for liars, for perjurers, and for any other thing contrary to the sound doctrine,
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
according to the Good News of the glory of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
12 Jeg takker ham, som gjorde mig stærk, Kristus Jesus, vor Herre, fordi han agtede mig for tro, idet han satte mig til en Tjeneste,
I thank him who enabled me, Messiah Yeshua our Lord, because he counted me faithful, appointing me to service,
13 skønt jeg forhen var en Bespotter og en Forfølger og en Voldsmand; men der blev vist mig Barmhjertighed, thi jeg gjorde det vitterligt i Vantro,
although I used to be a blasphemer, a persecutor, and insolent. However, I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
14 Ja, vor Herres Nåde viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
The grace of our Lord abounded exceedingly with faith and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
15 Den Tale er troværdig og al Modtagelse værd, at Kristus Jesus kom til Verden for at frelse Syndere, iblandt hvilke jeg er den største"
The saying is faithful and worthy of all acceptance, that Messiah Yeshua came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
16 Men derfor blev der vist mig Barmhjertighed, for at Jesus Kristus kunde på mig som den første vise hele sin Langmodighed, til et Forbillede på dem, som skulle tro på ham til evigt Liv. (aiōnios g166)
However, for this cause I obtained mercy, that in me first, Yeshua the Messiah might display all his patience for an example of those who were going to believe in him for eternal life. (aiōnios g166)
17 Men Evighedens Konge, den uforkrænkelige, usynlige, eneste Gud være Pris og Ære i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen. (aiōn g165)
18 Dette Påbud betror jeg dig, mit Barn Timotheus, ifølge de Profetier, som tilforn ere udtalte over dig, at du efter dem strider den gode Strid,
I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
19 idet du har Tro og en god Samvittighed, hvilken nogle have stødt fra sig og lidt Skibbrud på Troen;
holding faith and a good conscience, which some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith,
20 iblandt dem ere Hymenæus og Aleksander, hvilke jeg har overgivet til Satan, for at de skulle tugtes til ikke at bespotte.
of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they might be taught not to blaspheme.
