1 Peter 4
1 Therefore of Christ having suffered in flesh for us, arm ye yourselves also with the same mentality, because he who has suffered in flesh has ceased from sin,
Efterdi da Kristus har lidt i Kødet, saa skulle ogsaa I væbne eder med det samme Sind (thi den, som har lidt i Kødet, er hørt op med Synd),
2 in order to live the remaining time in flesh, no longer by lusts of men, but by the will of God.
saa at I ikke fremdeles leve den øvrige Tid i Kødet efter Menneskers Lyster, men efter Guds Villie.
3 For enough time of life has past for you to accomplish the will of the Gentiles, having gone in debaucheries, lusts, excesses of wine, revelings, drinking parties, and lawless idolatries.
Thi det er nok i den forbigangne Tid at have gjort Hedningernes Villie, idet I have vandret i Uterlighed, Lyster, Fylderi, Svir, Drik og skammelig Afgudsdyrkelse;
4 During which they think it strange of you not running together into the same pouring out of debauchery, while they slander.
hvorfor de forundre sig og spotte, naar I ikke løbe med til den samme Ryggesløshedens Pøl;
5 Men who will give back an accounting to him who fares readily to judge the living and the dead.
men de skulle gøre ham Regnskab, som er rede til at dømme levende og døde.
6 For good news was preached even to the dead for this, so that they might indeed be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.
Thi derfor blev Evangeliet forkyndt ogsaa for døde, for at de vel skulde være dømte paa Menneskers Vis i Kødet, men leve paa Guds Vis i Aanden.
7 But the end of all things has approached. Therefore be serious, and be sober for the prayers.
Men alle Tings Ende er kommen nær; værer derfor aarvaagne og ædrue til Bønner!
8 And above all having fervent love for yourselves, because love will cover a multitude of sins,
Haver fremfor alt en inderlig, Kærlighed til hverandre; thi „Kærlighed skjuler en Mangfoldighed af Synder.‟
9 stranger-loving toward each other without complaints.
Værer gæstfrie imod hverandre uden Knurren.
10 As each has received a gift, serving it for yourselves, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.
Eftersom enhver har faaet en Naadegave, skulle I tjene hverandre dermed som gode Husholdere over Guds mangfoldige Naade.
11 If any man speaks, as oracles of God. If any man serves, as of ability as God supplies. So that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ, to whom is the glory and the dominion into the ages of the ages. Truly. (aiōn g165)
Taler nogen, han tale som Guds Ord; har nogen en Tjeneste, han tjene, efter som Gud forlener ham Styrke dertil, for at Gud maa æres i alle Ting ved Jesus Kristus, hvem Herligheden og Magten tilhører i Evighedernes Evigheder! Amen. (aiōn g165)
12 Beloved, ye should not be surprised at the fieriness in you, which occurs for a trial to you, like a strange thing happening to you.
I elskede! undrer eder ikke over den Ild, som brænder iblandt eder til eders Prøvelse, som om der hændtes eder noget underligt;
13 But rejoice in so far as ye are partakers in the sufferings of the Christ, so that also at the revealing of his glory ye may rejoice, having exceeding joy.
men glæder eder i samme Maal, som I have Del i Kristi Lidelser, for at I ogsaa kunne glæde og fryde eder ved hans Herligheds Aabenbarelse.
14 Blessed are ye if ye are reviled for the name of Christ, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. From them he is indeed blasphemed, but from you he is glorified.
Dersom I haanes for Kristi Navns Skyld, ere I salige; thi Herlighedens og Guds Aand hviler over eder.
15 For let not any man of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or an evildoer, or as a busybody.
Thi ingen af eder bør lide som Morder eller Tyv eller Ugerningsmand eller som en, der blander sig i anden Mands Sager;
16 But if as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this regard.
men lider han som en Kristen, da skamme han sig ikke, men prise Gud for dette Navn!
17 Because the time to begin judgment is from the house of God, and if first from us, what is the end of those who disobey the good news of God?
Thi det er Tiden til, at Dommen skal begynde med Guds Hus; men begynder den først med os, hvad Ende vil det da faa med dem, som ere genstridige imod Guds Evangelium?
18 And if the righteous man is scarcely saved, where will the irreverent and sinful man appear?
Og dersom den retfærdige med Nød og neppe bliver frelst, hvor skal da den ugudelige og Synderen blive af?
19 Therefore also let those who suffer according to the will of God entrust their souls as to a faithful Creator by well-doing.
Derfor skulle ogsaa de, som lide efter Guds Villie, befale den trofaste Skaber deres Sjæle, idet de gøre det gode.
