2 Peter 1
1 Simon Peter, Jesu Kristi Tjener og Apostel, til dem, der have fået samme dyrebare Tro som vi ved vor Guds og Frelsers Jesu Kristi Retfærdighed:
Simeon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained a faith as precious as ours through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:
2 Nåde og Fred vorde eder mangfoldig til Del i Erkendelse af Gud og vor Herre Jesus.
Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
3 Såsom hans guddommelige Magt har skænket os alt, hvad der hører til Liv og Gudfrygtighed ved Erkendelsen af ham, som kaldte os ved sin Herlighed og Kraft,
His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by glory and virtue.
4 hvorved han har skænket os de største og dyrebare Forjættelser, for at I ved disse skulle få Del i guddommelig Natur, når I undfly Fordærvelsen i Verden, som har sin Grund i Begær,
Through these he has given us his precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires.
5 så anvender just derfor al Flid på i eders Tro at udvise Dyd og i Dyden Kundskab
For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, your virtue with knowledge,
6 og i Kundskaben Afholdenhed og i Afholdenheden Udholdenhed og i Udholdenheden Gudsfrygt
your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,
7 og i Gudsfrygten Broderkærlighed og i Broderkærligheden Kærlighed.
your godliness with brotherly affection, and your brotherly affection with love.
8 Thi når dette findes hos eder og er i Tiltagen, lader det eder ikke stå ørkesløse eller ufrugtbare i Erkendelsen af vor Herre Jesus Kristus;
For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 den nemlig, som ikke har dette, er blind, svagsynet, idet han har glemt Renselsen fra sine fordums Synder.
For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten the cleansing of his former sins.
10 Derfor, Brødre! gører eder des mere Flid for at befæste eders Kaldelse og Udvælgelse; thi når I gøre dette, skulle I ingen Sinde støde an.
Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm that you are among those whom God has called and chosen, because if you do these things, you will never stumble.
11 Thi så skal der rigelig gives eder Indgang i vor Herres og Frelsers Jesu Kristi evige Rige. (aiōnios g166)
For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for you. (aiōnios g166)
12 Derfor vil jeg ikke forsømme altid at påminde eder om delte, ihvorvel I vide det og ere befæstede i den Sandhed, som er til Stede hos os.
Therefore, I will not neglect to keep reminding you about these things, though you know them and are established in the truth you now have.
13 Men jeg anser det for ret at vække eder ved Påmindelse, så længe jeg er i dette Telt,
I think it is right, as long as I am in this bodily tent, to stir you up by way of reminder,
14 da jeg ved, at Aflæggelsen af mit Telt kommer brat, således som jo vor Herre Jesus Kristus har givet mig til Kende.
because I know that this tent will soon be laid aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me.
15 Og jeg vil også gøre mig Flid for, at I til enhver Tid efter min Bortgang kunne drage eder dette i Minde.
And I will make every effort to ensure that after my departure you will be able to recall these things at any time.
16 Thi vi have ikke fulgt klogtigt opdigtede Fabler, da vi kundgjorde eder vor Herres Jesu Kristi Kraft og Tilkommelse, men vi have været Øjenvidner til hans Majestæt,
For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 nemlig da han fik Ære og Herlighed af Gud Fader, idet en sådan Røst lød til ham fra den majestætiske Herlighed: "Denne er min Søn, den elskede, i hvem jeg har Velbehag."
For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice came to him from the Majestic Glory: “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
18 Og vi hørte denne Røst lyde fra Himmelen, da vi vare med ham på det hellige Bjerg.
We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 Og des mere stadfæstet have vi det profetiske Ord, hvilket I gøre vel i at agte på som på et Lys, der skinner på et mørkt Sted, indtil Dagen bryder frem, og Morgenstjernen oprinder i eders Hjerter,
So we have the prophetic word more fully confirmed. You will do well to pay attention to it, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 idet I fornemmelig mærke eder dette, at ingen Profeti i Skriften beror på egen Tydning.
First of all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation.
21 Thi aldrig er nogen Profeti bleven fremført ved et Menneskes Villie; men drevne af den Helligånd talte hellige Guds Mænd.
For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
