2 Korinterne 2
1 Men jeg beslutte dette hos mig selv, at jeg vilde ikke atter komme til eder med Bedrøvelse.
But I have determined this in myself, that I will not with sorrow again come to you.
2 Thi dersom jeg bedrøver eder, hvem er da den, som gør mig glad, uden den, som bedrøves af mig?
For if I grieve you, who shall refresh me, but he whom I had grieved?
3 Og jeg skrev netop derfor, for at jeg ikke, når jeg kom, skulde have Bedrøvelse af dem, som jeg burde have Glæde af, idet jeg havde den Tillid til eder alle, at min Glæde deles af eder alle.
And I have written to you this very, lest when I come they grieve me, they who ought to refresh me. But I confide in you, that my joy is that of all of you.
4 Thi ud af stor Hjertets Trængsel og Beklemthed skrev jeg eder til, under mange Tårer, ikke for at I skulde blive bedrøvede, men for at I skulde kende den Kærlighed, som jeg har særlig til eder.
And from great affliction and anxiety of heart I wrote those things to you with many tears, not that you might grieve, but (also) that you might know the abundant love I have towards you.
5 Men dersom nogen har voldt Bedrøvelse, har han ikke bedrøvet mig, men til Dels, for ikke at sige det hårdere, eder alle.
But if any one hath caused grief, he hath not grieved me (only), but a part of you all: that the word may not weigh upon you.
6 Det er nok for ham med denne Straf, som han har fået af de fleste,
But sufficient for him was this chastisement, which was from many.
7 så at I tværtimod snarere skulle tilgive og trøste ham, for at han ikke skal drukne i den alt for store Bedrøvelse.
And now on the other hand it behoves you to forgive him and console him, lest he who is such an one be swallowed up of excessive grief.
8 Derfor formaner jeg eder til at vedtage at vise ham Kærlighed.
Therefore I entreat of you to confirm to him your love.
9 Det var nemlig også derfor, at jeg skrev, for at erfare, hvor vidt I stå Prøve, om I ere lydige i alt.
On this account also I have written, to ascertain by experiment whether in every thing you will obey me.
10 Men hvem I tilgive noget, ham tilgiver også jeg; thi også hvad jeg selv har tilgivet, om jeg har tilgivet noget, det har jeg gjort for eders Skyld, for Kristi Åsyn,
But to whom you forgive, I also. For I, too, what I have forgiven, have on your account forgiven in the presence of the Meshiha:
11 for at vi ikke skulle bedrages af Satan; thi hans Anslag ere os ikke ubekendte.
lest Satana get the advantage of you; for we know his devices.
12 Da jeg kom til Troas for at prædike Kristi Evangelium, og der var åbnet mig en Dør i Herren,
WHEN, in preaching the gospel of the Meshiha, I had come to Troas, and a door was opened to me by the Lord,
13 da havde jeg ingen Ro i min Ånd, fordi jeg ikke fandt Titus, min Broder; men jeg tog Afsked med dem og drog til Makedonien.
I had no rest in my spirit because I found not Titos my brother. But leaving them, I went forth to Makedunia.
14 Men Gud ske Tak, som altid fører os i Sejrstog i Kristus og lader sin Kundskabs Duft blive kendelig ved os på ethvert Sted.
But thanks unto Aloha, who in all time maketh us a triumph in the Meshiha, and maketh manifest by us the perfume of his knowledge in every place.
15 Thi en Kristi Vellugt ere vi for Gud, iblandt dem, som frelses, og iblandt dem, som fortabes,
For we are a fragrant perfume in the Meshiha unto Aloha in those who are saved, and in those who perish.
16 for disse en Duft af Død til Død, for hine en Duft af Liv til Liv. Og hvem er dygtig dertil?
To these as a perfume of death unto death, and to those as a perfume of life unto life. And unto these who is equal?
17 Thi vi ere ikke som de mange, at vi gøre en Forretning af Guds Ord, men som af Renhed, som af Gud tale vi for Guds Åsyn i Kristus.
For we are not as the rest who commix the word of Aloha; but as in truth, and as from Aloha, before Aloha in the Meshiha do we speak.
