1 Timoteus 1
1 Paulus, Kristi Jesu Apostel efter Befaling af Gud, vor Frelser, og Kristus Jesus, vort Håb,
PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the order of God, our Saviour, and Lord, Jesus Christ, who is our hope;
2 til Timotheus, sit ægte Barn i Troen: Nåde, Barmhjertig Fred fra Gud Fader og Kristus Jesus vor Herre!
to Timothy, my genuine son in faith: grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father, and Christ Jesus 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 exhorted thee to abide at Ephesus when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest enjoin certain persons to introduce no different doctrine,
4 og ikke at agte på Fabler og Slægtregistre uden Ende, som mere fremme Stridigheden end Guds Husholdning i Tro.
nor to attend to fables and endless genealogies, which give occasion to disputes rather than godly edification, which is by faith; so do.
5 Men Påbudets Endemål er Kærlighed af et rent Hjerte og af en god Samvittighed og af en uskrømtet Tro,
For the end of the commandment is love out of a clean heart, and good conscience, and faith unfeigned:
6 hvorfra nogle ere afvegne og have vendt sig til intetsigende Snak,
from which some, having swerved, have turned aside to vain babbling;
7 idet de ville være Lovlærere uden at forstå, hverken hvad de sige, eller hvorom de udtale sig så sikkert.
affecting to be doctors of the law, though they underhand neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
8 Men vi vide, at Loven er god, dersom man bruger den lovmæssigt,
But we know that the law is good if a man use it according to its institution;
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,
knowing this, that the law is not made for the just man, but for the lawless and disorderly, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for men-slayers,
10 utugtige, Syndere imod Naturen, Menneskerøvere, Løgnere, Menedere, og hvad andet der er imod den sunde Lære,
for whoremongers, for sodomites, for stealers of men, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing which is contrary to sound doctrine,
11 efter den salige Guds Herligheds Evangelium, som er blevet mig betroet.
according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, with which I have been put in 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,
And I render thanks to him who hath strengthened me, even to Christ Jesus our Lord, that he hath counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
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,
who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and insolently violent, But I was admitted to mercy, for I did it ignorantly in unbelief;
14 Ja, vor Herres Nåde viste sig overvættes rig med Tro og Kærlighed i Kristus Jesus.
but the grace of our Lord hath exceedingly abounded with faith and love, which is in Christ Jesus.
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"
It is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the 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)
But for this end obtained I mercy, that in me, the chief, Jesus Christ might shew forth all long-suffering, for a pattern to those who should after believe in him unto 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, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever 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,
This commandment, son Timothy, I give thee, according to the prophecies which were before delivered concerning thee, that by them thou mightest war a 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 renounced, as touching the faith, have been shipwrecked:
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 Hymeneus and Alexander, whom I have delivered over unto Satan, that they may be corrected, so as to blaspheme no more.
