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,
From the elder to the chosen lady and her children, whom I love in truth—and not only I, but also all those who have known the truth—
because of the truth that remains in us and will be with us forever. (aiōn g165)
3 Nåde, Barmhjertighed og Fred være med os fra Gud Fader og fra Jesus Kristus, Faderens Søn, i Sandhed og Kærlighed!
Grace, mercy, and peace will 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 rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received this commandment from the Father.
5 Og nu beder jeg dig, Frue! ikke som om jeg skrev til dig et nyt
Now I plead with you, lady—not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but one that we have had from the beginning—that we should love 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.
This is love, that we should walk according to his commandments. This is the commandment, just as you heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.
7 Thi mange Forførere ere udgåede i Verden, som ikke bekende Jesus som Kristus kommen i Kød. En sådan er Forføreren og Antikrist.
For many deceivers have gone out into the world, and they do not confess that Jesus Christ came in the 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.
Look to yourselves, that you do not lose the things for which we all have worked, but so that you may receive a full reward.
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.
Whoever goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in the teaching, this one has 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 comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house and do not greet him.
11 Thi den, som byder ham velkommen, bliver delagtig i hans onde Gerninger.
For the one who greets him participates in his evil deeds.
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.
I have many things to write to you, but I did not wish to write them with paper and ink. However, I expect to come to you and speak face to face, so that our joy will be complete.
13 Din Søsters, den udvalgtes, Børn hilse dig.
The children of your chosen sister greet you.
