2 Johannes 1
1 Den Ældste til den udvalgte Frue og hendes Børn, som jeg elsker i Sandhed, og ikke jeg alene, men også alle, som have erkendt Sandheden,
The Elder, unto an elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth; and not, I, alone, but all those also who understand the truth, —
For the sake of the truth that abideth in us, and, with us, shall be unto times age-abiding, (aiōn g165)
3 Nåde, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
Favour, mercy, peace shall be with us, from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ the Son of the Father, in truth and love.
4 Jeg har glædet mig meget over, at jeg har fundet Børn af dig, som vandre i Sandhed, efter det Bud, vi fik af Faderen.
I rejoiced exceedingly, in that I had found, from among thy children, such as were walking in truth, even as, a commandment, we received from the Father.
5 Og nu beder jeg dig, Frue! ikke som om jeg skrev til dig et nyt
And, now, I request thee, lady, not as writing, a new commandment, unto thee, but one which we were holding from the beginning—That we should be loving one another.
6 Og dette er Kærligheden, at vi vandre efter hans Bud. Dette er Budet, således som I have hørt fra Begyndelsen, at I skulle vandre deri.
And, this, is love, that we should be walking according to his commandments: This, is, the commandment, even as ye heard from the beginning, that, therein, ye should be walking.
7 Thi mange Forførere ere udgåede i Verden, som ikke bekende Jesus som Kristus kommen i Kød. En sådan er Forføreren og Antikrist.
Because, many deceivers, have gone out into the world, they who do not confess Jesus Christ coming in flesh: This, is the deceiver and the antichrist.
8 Giver Agt på eder selv, at I ikke skulle tabe, hvad vi have arbejdet, men at I må få fuld Løn.
Be taking heed unto yourselves, lest ye lose what things we earned, —but, a full reward, ye may duly receive.
9 Hver den, som viger ud og ikke bliver i Kristi Lære, har ikke Gud. Den, som bliver i Læren, han har både Faderen og Sønnen.
Every one that taketh a lead, and abideth not in the teaching of Christ, hath not, God: he that abideth in the teaching, the same, hath, both the Father and the Son.
10 Dersom nogen kommer til eder og ikke fører denne Lære, ham skulle I ikke tage til Huse og ikke byde velkommen.
If anyone cometh unto you and, this teaching, doth not bring, be not receiving him home, and, Joy to thee! do not say;
11 Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
For, he that biddeth him rejoice, hath fellowship with his wicked works.
12 Endskønt jeg havde meget at skrive til eder, har jeg ikke villet det med Papir og Blæk; men jeg håber at komme til eder og tale mundtligt med eder, for at vor Glæde må være fuldkommen.
Though I had many things, unto you, to write, I was not minded [to say them] with paper and ink; but I hope to come unto you, and, mouth to mouth, to talk, —that your joy may be made full.
13 Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
The children of thy chosen sister salute thee.
