2 Tessalonikerne 2
1 Men vi bede eder, Brødre! angående vor Herres Jesu Kristi Tilkommelse og vor Samling til ham,
And we ask you, brothers, in regard to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and of our gathering together to Him,
2 at I ikke i en Hast må lade eder bringe fra Besindelse eller forskrække hverken ved nogen Ånd eller ved nogen Tale eller Brev, der skulde være fra os, som om Herrens Dag var lige for Hånden.
that you are not quickly shaken in mind, nor be troubled, neither through spirit, neither through word, neither through letters as through us, as that the Day of the LORD has arrived;
3 Lad ingen bedrage eder i nogen Måde; thi først må jo Frafaldet komme og Syndens Menneske åbenbares, Fortabelsens Søn,
do not let anyone deceive you in any way, because if the departure may not come first, the man of lawlessness may [not] be revealed—the son of destruction,
4 han, som sætter sig imod og ophøjer sig over alt. hvad der kaldes Gud eller Helligdom, så at han sætter sig i Guds Tempel og udgiver sig selv for at være Gud.
who is opposing and is raising himself up above all called god or worshiped, so as for him to have sat down in the temple of God, proclaiming that he is God.
5 Komme I ikke i Hu, at jeg sagde eder dette, da jeg endnu var hos eder?
Do you not remember that, yet being with you, I said these things to you?
6 Og nu vide I, hvad der holder ham tilbage, indtil han åbenbares i sin Tid.
And now, you have known what is restraining, for his being revealed in his own time,
7 Thi Lovløshedens Hemmelighed virker allerede, kun at den, som nu holder tilbage, først må komme af Vejen
for the secret of lawlessness already works, only the [One] now restraining [will do so] until He may come out of [the] midst,
8 og da skal den lovløse åbenbares, hvem den Herre Jesus skal dræbe med sin Munds Ånde og tilintetgøre ved sin Tilkommelses Åbenbarelse,
and then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the LORD will consume with the Spirit of His mouth, and will nullify at the appearance of His coming,
9 han, hvis Komme sker ifølge Satans Kraft, med al Løgnens Magt og Tegn og Undere
whose coming is according to the working of Satan, in all power, and signs, and lying wonders,
10 og med alt Uretfærdigheds Bedrag for dem, som fortabes, fordi de ikke toge imod Kærligheden til Sandheden, så de kunde blive frelste.
and in all deceitfulness of the unrighteousness in those perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth for their being saved,
11 Og derfor sender Gud dem kraftig Vildfarelse, så at de tro Løgnen,
and because of this God will send to them a working of delusion, for their believing the lie,
12 for at de skulle dømmes, alle de, som ikke troede Sandheden, men fandt Behag i Uretfærdigheden.
that they may be judged—all who did not believe the truth, but were well pleased in the unrighteousness.
13 Men vi ere skyldige at takke Gud altid for eder, I af Herren elskede Brødre! fordi Gud har udvalgt eder fra Begyndelsen til Frelse ved Åndens Helligelse og Tro på Sandheden,
And we ought to give thanks to God always for you, brothers, beloved by the LORD, that God chose you from the beginning to salvation, in sanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the truth,
14 hvortil han kaldte eder ved vort Evangelium, for at I skulde vinde vor Herres Jesu Kristi Herlighed.
to which He called you through our good news, to the acquiring of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ;
15 Så står da fast, Brødre! og holder fast ved de Overleveringer, hvori I bleve oplærte, være sig ved vor Tale eller vort Brev.
so, then, brothers, stand fast, and hold the traditions that you were taught, whether through word, whether through our letter;
16 Men han selv, vor Herre Jesus Kristus og Gud vor Fader, som har elsket og givet os en evig Trøst og et godt Håb i Nåde, (aiōnios g166)
and may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who loved us, and gave continuous comfort, and good hope in grace, (aiōnios g166)
17 han trøste eders Hjerter og styrke eder i al god Gerning og Tale!
comfort your hearts, and establish you in every good word and work.
